FIVE TRA!NMEN HELD.
CSsener's Jury Declares Them to Blame
In Doremus Wreck.

Ala OOTCIuuS w IGCAs
Five men were declared criminally re-
sponsible for the Doremus wreck In
which eighteen persons were killed and
scores injured on July ID, one-half mile
south of Glenwood, Ill. This decision
Of the coroner's jury was followed By ts,s
arrest of four Of the accused. The fifth,
Engineer Hoxie of the Chicago and East
ern Illinois freight train, Is a fugitive.
The verdict of the jury was the result
OF five hours elaboration. Besides charg-
ing the employees with criminal careless
ness, the jury censured the railway COM
pany for using antiquated passenger cars
and for working its trainmen too long.
Freed of its legal yerbiage, the verdict
OF the jury reads:
From the testimony presented we be-
lieve the passenger coaches used were in
an old and dilapidated condition and not
TT to carry passengers.
eve censure the officials Of the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois Railroad Com
pany for using such coaches, and believe
that If modern, strong cars had been used
number Of lives would have been saved.
''And we find that the freight employees
Of the railroad company are worked too
many hours in succession and are not
able properly to perform their duties.
''And we recommend that the proper
authorities take steps to make laws pro-
hibiting the working Of railroad employees
longer hours than they are able to per-
form their duty and protect the lives Of
the public.
"We censure the officials of the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois Railroad for
requiring their employees to work longer
hours than they are able properly to per
form their duties.
eve believe that the conductor of the
freight train, Frank Cooper, was Grim
tnally negligent in the performance Of
his duty and recommend that he be held
to the grand jury until discharged by due
course Of law.
"And we believe Charles FL. Wright,
brakeman; Patrick Costello, fireman, and
Frank e. Hoxey engineer were crimi-
nally negligent in the performance Of
their duty and recommend that they be
held to the grand jury until discharged
by due course Of law.
"And we believe that il Frederick o.
Whiteman, train dispatcher, had given
orders to the freight train at the proper
time and place the collision would not
have occurred. We believe he was Grim
inally negligent and recommend that he
be held to the grand jury until discharg-
ed by due course Of law"

STATUS OF STRIKE.
PACKERS TAKE AGGRESSIVE AT
The CHICAGO YARDS.
Plan to Speedily Man Plants Eight
Hundred Live Stock Handlers Throw
Aside Their Allegiance TO Allied
Trades and Return to Work.

The Chicago packers at noon Thurs
day seemed to have won an important
victory in the big stock yards strike,
the first emphatic gain that has been
made by either side since the general
walkout was declared in effect. Eight
hundred live stock handlers threw
aside their allegiance to allied trades
and at the noon hour began to handle
cattle indlscriminately, both for the
packers in the combine and for the in
dependent companies. Most of these
800 men went to work yesterday morn
ing to handle the goods of the ''inde-
pendents," and they had worked on
this basis until II o'clock Thursday.
This action on the part of the ham
dlers is regarded as a most serious loss
to the cause Of the strikers, and in
some quarters it Is believed to be a
forerunner Of stampede and deser-
ton of the unions.
Following close on an announcement
that the packers did not care to make
further agreements with the union men
who quit work, operation Of the plants
was continued with larger forces than
before, the employers formally an
nounced system Of delivery which
would do away with the drivers who
haul meat from the yards. Hereafter
the packers will do no teaming, but
their own wagons to take away their
purchases.
Though the big stock yards strike Is
now we'll under way and the time is
about at hand when the police expect
serious rioting to develop, turbulent
scenes failed to develop up to Thurs
day night, and the outbreaks of strik-
ers and sympathizers were chiefly con-
fined to hanging eff1gies in front OF the
homes Of persons in disfavor.
The packers kept their plants rum
ming persdstently, and Thursday after
noon reported that satisfactory days
work had been accomplished. The re-
ceipts Of stock were large enough to
keep the nonunion butchers and han
dlers busy, 5000 cattle, 1900 hogs and
1900 sheep being received.
While the union leaders proceeded to
perfect what they regard as adequate
arrangements to keep the strikers in
line, rumors were continuous through
out the day that the ranks Of the NAL
contents were breaking. Emphatic de
malls were made by President Donnelly
and his confreres, but close observers
OF the situation declared that the men
seemed to be losing heart, as was evil
denced, they said, by the fact that
picketing was less pronounced.

The great military event of the last
week was the battle south of Tatche-
kiao, between the forces Of Oku and
Kouropatkin. The Russian command
er-in-chief was present in person.
The Japanese had strongly fortified
Kaichou, which is 20 odd miles south
of Tatchekiao, both town lying on the
railroad. Early In the morning the
japanese began to press forward from
Kaichou. Their advance engaged in
severe skirmish with the Russian rear.
The Muscovites gradually broke
ground, their movements being accel-
Grated by the japanese artillery. In
the afternoon the japanese ceased to
advance, and the troops on both sides
rested on their arms. This fighting
took place In severe heat, many Rus
SLAMS succumbing to sunstroke.
The following day the fighting began
again. The Russian batteries showed
unexpected strength and accuracy and
at one time gained preponderance of
fire over the japanese guns. This is
the first time such thing has occurred
during the war. The fighting contin-
ued all day, and was severe. At night
fall the Russians withdrew in good or
der to Haicheng. The Japanese made
no effort to follow them up. The cas-
ualties were in the neighborhood of
1000 on each side.
The main Japanese attack in this
battle was directed from the south by
the forces under Gen. Oku, but the
Takushan army lay Immediately east
Of the Russian position in such way
as to threaten the Russian left flank
The Muscovites did not know whence
the attack would come. Gen. Kouro-
patkin in his report makes no refer
ence to the presence Of the Takushan
army to his left, but Japanese reports
speak Of it's presence, and a Russian
newspaper correspondent present at
the fight says that the Russian general
was befooIed in that he expected the
main attack from the east and was
surprised to have it delivered from the
south.

kiao the Japs took Newchwang. At
