REPORTS MADE ON
 MONTHS CONDUCT
Near One Hundred ProbationerS
 Came to Judge Feagin
PLAN WORKS ADMlRABL Y
Number of Arrests Has Been Materl ally Decreased and a Good Record Is Promised In the Annual
 Number of Arrests.

Yesterday was probation day in the police court Nearly one hundred men, women and children reported on their conduct for the past month, and judging from the accounts they gave, October has been harmonious month in all the families where rows have ever taken place in the past.
 The first people to report were about 75 men, mostly husbands, who have been ''probated" and have promised not to beat their wives, mistreat their children or to get drunk. Without exception they turned in favorable reports, and in some cases the wives and children were pres ent to bear witness that the husband and father had teen all that could be desired.
 So Judge Feagin thinks the probation system has brought happiness Into about sixty homes for at least thirty days, and as things are progressing. many happy days are predicted for the future The remainder of the men were on probation for being drunk. and under promise to let whisky alone. All testified to having been sober for the month and as evidence that what they were saying was true, they pAoAulJ pOiHNtu lo lu6 ldCl I4dL they HdQ not been arrested.
 Only one woman appeared in court on probation day to report on her conduct in regard to fighting In her family. She was ''probated" under promise not to beat her husband any more, and for three months she has stuck to her promise The husband showed in court that he was the real henpeeked article, and out of actual compassion Judge Feagin made the wife promise to go home and sew, cook and keep house, and not to beat her hus- band
 There are several women out on proba- ton for other reasons, and they were up to report yesterday. Two or three have promised never to drink any more. and some others not to use dope Among the women are several who have door, and both families have to report every month that they are living as friends and not enemies.
 There are only one or two girls among the younger class of probationers, but several boys are included in the list, They are mostly for fighting and are old of lenders trying to do better.
 In the court yesterday there were only two cases, quite 6 reduction from the av- craze number a month or two ago. If the present rate of decrease continues for a few weeks the average number of arrests and cases in court each day will not be over 12 or 15. which will decrease the total number of arrests annually to something under 300.

EDWARDS SCORES
 ADMINISTRATION
SECRETARY OF DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE MAKES VIGOROUS ATTACK ON RooSEvELT'S CHANGE.

Washington. November 1.--(Special)- 'As an instance of how badly scared this republican administration Is at present, 1t Is only necessary to glance at the long list of Roosevelt officeholders in the city of Washington, high up in administrative circles, who are now, or have been lately, doing service on the stump as Roosevelt spellbinders," said Charles A. Edwards, secretary of the democratic congressional committee. And this under an adminis- tration conducted by a gentleman occupy ing the position of thirty-third degree civil service reformer. It only serves to emphasize the miserable hypocracy and cant of this remarkable administration.
 "A man who, when he was civil ser- vice commissioner In this city, held his hand up to high heaven and swore to disrupt the Harrison administration un- less the civil service law was upheld In letter and spirit, now allows, and most people believe compels. every man high up in the official circles of his adminis- tration to go cut on the stump and howl for Roosevelt and a continuance of cor ruption and extravaganza in office.
 But this should not surprise the people

One man was killed and anothor probably fatally wounded last night in a three-eornered fight at Lewisburg be- tween J. V. Phillips and Jack and Jesse Marlborough, father and son. Jack Marlborough, an old and well-to-do storekeeper at Lewisburg, was killed by Phillips, and Jesse Marlborough avenged his fathers death by shooting and fatally wounding Phillips.
 The trouble occurred over a game of cards at the store of Marlborough.
 Young Marlborough was arrested later by Chief of Police Price of North Birmingham as he was coming to Bir- mingham on a street car
 Phillips was carried to St. Vincent's hospital in the ambulance of Green & Go. The physicians at the hospital state that they do not believe he will live.
 Phillips is shot three times, twice with a pistol and the third wound was made by buckshot from a shotgun. One pistol bullet entered the left breast near the heart. A second went into the abdomen, and the buckshot struck him in the middle of the back. One of

Nothing Serious on shakhe.

St. Petersburg, October 2-2:15 a. m.- The expectation of seriousS development at the theatre of war again has failed of realization. Today's official dispatches record nothing more serious than the usual skirmishes. The strategists at the war office are generally inclined to be- lieve that the expected battle might be deferred and possibly may not occur this year, though the Japanese may make a desperate effort to flank General Kuro- patkin and compel him to surrender Muk- den.
 If General Kuropatfin is convinced that the Japanese are now numerically supe- rior, he may decide to draw off, as it would obviously be unprofitf.ble to risk a general engagement until the vast armies to be placed under his command can reach Manchuria. Whatever happens, however, it is not likely that the Japan csc can take Kuropatlin unawares.
 Repeated reconnoissances beyond the Japanese lines betray the strength and purpose of Field Marshal oyama's force. The Japanese really intend to advance, and it Is likely they will do so immedi- ately, and not await the arrival of the eighth Russian corps the first echelon of which is already at Mulxden.

RESCUE WORK IS
 SHOWING EFFECT
SALVATION ARMY HAS ALREADY SAVED TWO OR THREE WAY WARD GIRLS AND WILL DO MORE WHEN HUME IS READY.

The good effects of the rescue home which is being started here by the Saliva ton army can already be felt by those who are in touch with the police court of the city. Already three wayward girls have been rescued from houses of i'll re- pute In the city, and fourth went to the Salvation army people yesterday and signifed her intentions and desires to quit the kind of life she was leading, and to go into a home where she could reform.
 There has been some little delay about opening the home and in the meantime the women are being provided for in private homes in the city. Three of them are at present in these homes, and the fourth will be sent to one of these fami- Hes as soon as one can be found who will take her.
 The rescue home of the Salvation army is at Avenue A and Thirty-third street, and already there are ten rooms to the house, and five more are being built. The first payment. 31oO0. was made on the house yesterday, and the remaining 5000 will be made as soon as the money is raised by the army. The captain In charge here expects to be able to pay the remain ing amount in short while, as there is already considerable amount of money in the treasury for that purpose.
 One of the women who has slgnihed her intention of leaving the life she has been leading is young. probably not over 20 years old, and a very pretty woman.
 For some time the Salvation army has been trylng to get her to reform, and at last they have succeeded. It is believed by the officers here that the house will be filled within short time after it is opened, as there are several other women In the city whom the army expect to get into the home as soon as possible. Every energy is being bent towards getting the home open as soon as possible, so that the girls may come under the wholesome 1n- 1uences.

IA Hot Old Time.D

"A Hot Old Time drew another good house to the Bijou theatre last night. This musical farce seems to be pleasing Bijou patrons, and while 1t Is far from being so good as "Busy Izzy,' still there are redeeming features, and at popular prices the show is certainly worth the money. The trapeze act of Mile. Ami is alone enough to redeem the production from mediocrity. The musical numbers are be- ing well received and William McRobie continues to keep the house in roar with his comical nonsense.

ONE MAN KILLED AND
 ANOTHER FATALLY SHOT

the bullets passed entirely through Phillips body and fell from his cloth ing when he was undressed at the hospital.
 At the hospital Phillips stated that he had a row with the two Yarbor- oughs over a game of cards, and that he shot the older man, and the old man shot nim in the fight He claims that just as he was leaving the store by the front door Jesse Marlborough shot him with a shotgun. Phillips was being operated on at 1 o'clock, and at that time the physicians stated that it would be two or three hours before they could tell whether the wound would prove fatal or not.
 At the city jail at North Birming ham young Marlborough stated to Chief Price that he shot Phillips because the latter had shot and killed his father. The young man will be brought to Bir- mingham and placed in the county jail today, awaiting the result of Phillips wounds.
 Until recently Phillips was em. ployed as check wei3hman in the plant at Lewisburg, which is a mining town about seven miles from Birmingham.

ESCAPE TO THE NOUN FANS

Kansas City, Mo-, November LA spe- eial to the Times from Cody. Wyo., says:
 Four heavily armed outlaws from Hole in-the-Wall country this afternoon held up and robbed the First National bank of this place, and after shooting and killing Cashier Frank Middaugh of the bank had a running fight with cowboys and hunters and escaped Into Rattlesnake mountains, where tonight they are being pursued by half a dozen different posses. A battle Is imminent.
 The Hole-in-th Wall bandits are noted as the most desperate outlaws in the west and the Cody posses are determined to wipe the bandits out of existence.
 Buffalo Bill himself is en route from Omaha in a special car, having with him party of titled Englishmen, and two of his Sioux Indian scouts, and has tele- graphed orders for horses to waiting his party at the station. He will take the trail in person immediately on his ar rival.
 Just before the close of the bank today, a party of four roughly dressed men rode up to the First National bank in the heart of the town, and immediately across the street from the Irma, Buffalo Bills fine notel Three men dismounted and entered the building, the fourth stay ing out and guarding the horses. As soon as the outlaws entered the bank one of them covered Cashier Middaugh who was the only occupant of the room and de- manded the cash from the vault. Instead of complying Middaugh grabbed reyol- yer and made game fight for life and money. firing several shots even before the outlaw leader could fire, but Mid daugh was excited and his bullets went wild, while inc bandits single shot pierced Middaughs brain and he died instantly.
 The shooting attracted the attention of party of hunters, who had reached the Irma from the opposite side of the build- ing, and as these rushed around the cor ner of the hotel they took in the whole situation and opened fire on the outlaw horses. But the outlaws in the building rushed out, and under cover of each others fire, mounted their horses and rode down the street, firing in all directions escaping into the prairie and from there into the mountains, seemingly without g scratch.
 One of the posses led by Sheriff Jeff Champion overlook the outlaws at dusk twenty miles south of Cody and battle i ensued in which Champion had horse shot from under him but was uninjured The bandits obtained fresh horses at [ ranch nearby and escaped.
