RUSSIAN ARMY
AGAIN ADVANCING
lconLInuea From FIrsL -

st. Petersburg has been cheered by
the report that General KuropatkiH
has resumed the offensive and by the
news of the defeat Of the Japanese
command Of General Yamada and the
capture Of Lono Tree Hin, which is rep
resented to be the key to the position
on the southwest fronts Of the contend
ing armies. If the report of the advance
is authentic, and the Russians have
crossed TO the south side of the Shakhe
river, a later rise in that stream may
have produced conditions seriously
threatening failure Of General Kuro-
patkins plans. For. it is believed, the
advance force will be cut off from the
reserves and the base OF supplies and
retreat rendered problematical II is.
however. questionable If the advance
movement had proceeded to the point
indicated There seems no immediate
prospect Of cessation OF the fghting
rhat has been in progress for the last
10 DAYS although there are signs that
on both sides the supply OF ammuni-
fion is falling short and that the limit
OF endurance ia the troops must have
been nearly reached.

trial for extortion, returned a verdict
of guilty shortly before midnight last
night. He was at once remanded to
the Tombs until October 2S, when SEN
tence will be pronounced.
Weinseimer has been on trial for
more than a week in the court of spe-
cial sessions. He was charged by
George J. Essig. a master plumber
with extorting $1,000 under a threat
not to permit work to continue on the
Chatsworth apartment house here un-
less the money was paid.
The jury retired late in the after
noon. and on account of the length of
time taken for deliberation Vein
seimer and his counsel expected dis
agreement or acQuittal
When Weinseimer heard the verdict
he trembled and grasped the railing
to steady himself. When his pedigree
was taken he answered in a voice
scarcely audible.
His counsel said that he would at
once appeal the case on the ground
that the verdict was contrary to the
evidence.
In his charge TO the jury Judge New
burger said:
you are to determine whether or
not the complaining witness paid $1,000
to the defendant and the notes re-
ferred to- If you believe he paid the
$1,000 under a threat, within the mean
ing Of the statutes you are to bring
/ in verdict of guilty
"The mere form of a threat is inn
material, and no precise words are
needed to convey the idea OF a threat.
To determine whether the defendant
was inspired by fear it is not neces-
sary that any overt act should be COM
mitted. The question is whether the
defendant conveyed the idea that he
could and would as president of the
Plumbers Union, do harm to the COM
plainant by preventing the compile
tion of the contract If the action and
conduct Of the defendant was such as
to inspire the complainant with a
sense of danger to his business inter
est there was intimidation in the sense
Of the law"

Of milk He had been put on a milk
diet, and before the addition of for
maldehyde to the milk was discovered
had been poisoned and his digestion
impaired by the adulterant
Mr. Burk had been taken to Harvey's
Lake early in the summer, in the hope
that the air there might prove bene-
fetal to him. and It was while he was
there that he vt.s put on a milk diet.
AT the time he was being treated by
his son, Dr. Charles NJ Bark. of this
city, and DR. Long, Of Wilkesbarre. Mr..
Burk's condition showed no improve
ment, and the fact that the milk seemed
to disagree with him led his physi-
clans to suspect that something was
the matter with IT,
They finally decided to make an ex-
animation of the milk, and their analy-
sis showed the presence of formalde-
hyde in considerable quantities. The
case was reported to the authorities
at Wilkesbarre, and it is said that in
( spectors of the state dairy and food
department are seeking for further evi.
dence against the dealer from whom
the milk given Mr.. Burk was bought.
