JAPANESE PUSHING ON
TOWARD PORT ARTHUR

LONDON. May 2s.-Tbe Toxic dispatch
to the Associated Press and Japanese off,
cial accounts are the only detailed descrip-
tions that have yet reached London on the
brilliant japanese victory at Kin-Chou,
which is hailed by the London press as es-
tablishing an even stronger claim than
did the japanese operations on the Yalu
river to their superiority on land. as well
as by sea, since in the case of Kin-Chou
the Russians had ample time to carefully
prepare their positions 1t appears that the
conclusive victory was Immediately fol-
lowed up. for the Morning Posts Toxic cor
respondent asserts that the japanese have
swept the Russians from their defenses
west OF Talien-Wan. And if the Daily Tel
egraph's generally well-informed corre-
spondent is correct. and the Japanese are
nearing Port Arthur, the Russians must
have suffered complete rout at Kin-Chou
That this is the case would also appear
from rumors of the capture of Russian ar
tillery. The correspondent of the Tele
graph says he learns that the Japanese
troops are now within twelve miles of Port
Arthur and that the Russians suffered
heavier casualties than the Japanese, who
have taken guns and other. material and a
few prisoners. He predicts a further sur
prise. as Japan is now increasing her ef-
forts in all directions.
The Toxic correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle says that the Japanese captured
many guns at Kin-Chou.
According to the Daily Mails Toxic cor
respondent. the Fifth japanese Division of
Veterans. which is destined for the storm
ing of Port Arthur, already has landed on

SCRUBBERS AND
CLEANERS COMBINE
Long Feared Trust MATERIAL
ICES, by Filing Articles of
Incorporation.

ScrubWomen and window washers in
st. Paul and Minneapolis were thrown
into panic yesterday by the an
nouncement of the incorporation of
the Twin City Window Washing,
House Cleaning and Renovating COM
pany."
The long-feared trust had become a
fact, a fact backed by ample capital
and uncempromising organizers.
IT'S little chancet poor woman
will be afther havin' these days with
her bit Of a broosh, I'm thinking" said
a scrubber last night in the hallway Of
a Fourth street office building.
She was a-comin', I dun knowed
she was a-comin'," confessed a gray
haired uncle" as he opened lime
barrel at his modest home in Temper
ance street; "but fore Gawd, who'd
s'pose she was gwinter come tuhday!
Well, I'll see dat company termorrer;
dey'H buy me, I'm shoh dey'n buy me-"
Yes, l suppose we control the field,'
said Scott r. Walker, president of the
new combine, when questioned last
evening at his saloon, 374 Minnesota
street. I'VE have absorbed the ST. Paul
Whitewas hing company, and Wen re-
tain the same headquarters, at 366
Minnesota street. Our branch office in
Minneapolis will be opened within a
few days.
We anticipate very little opposition.
The smaller concerns in this territory
are weak financially and are made
quately equipped. The largest opposf-
ton plant in the two cities consists,
I'm informed, of two ladders, six
brushes, a reel of garden hose and a
broken foot pump, not to mention a
Few mopS for interior renovating
The enlarged scope of our transact
tons, together with the economies
made possible by our centralized ad-
mlnlstratIon, will assure our ability to
provide the fpubIic with better service
at reducedL rates. We can buy a bar
rel OF soft soap, for example, where a
small concern could not obtain one gall
ION. The tariff will be mere uniform.
A window in Robert street will be
cleaned hereafter for no more, and no
less, than window of CORES ponding
size IN Sixth street. Wasteful COMPETE
ton Will be eliminated"
This policyswas agreed upon by the
directors of the trust at their first
meeting, held last night in Mr.. Walk
erS Office. Mr.. Walker was elected
president; Robert K. Brown, late of
the Pullman service, was chosen vice
president and manager; Walter FL.
Han, who has also retired from the
Pullman company. was made secre-
ary-treasurer. The board of directors
Will be the officers ex-off1cie. 1t was
voted that the capital stock, sic. 900;
need not be fully paid within ninety
days
The beginning Of this combine was
also the work of a. well known resident
OF minnesota street-CIayton Gordon.
A year or more ago he enlisted the aid
Of another scoIored man and. established
the st. Paul Whftewashing company.
OF which the stock was closely held.
Upon the recent death of his associate.
Mr. Gordon acquired his interests in

himself, about to leave the city, has
transferred his properties to stronger
and more enterprising competitors.

MUST TELL BANK
YOUR REAL NAME
Supreme Court Says Man Can't
Recover Money He Depos-
Tied i'm Another'S Name.

When you deposit your money in a
bank, tell your real name, is the moral
of a supreme court decision handed
down yesterday.
This precept is deduced from the ex-
perience of Harry Arkofsky, who de-
posted $3.50 in the State Savings bank
ances, Harry Sachs
The reason for this subterfuge, as
given by Arkofsky in the trial of the
case, was that he was paying atten-
ton to a girl at that time and did not
wish her to know he had SO much
money. AS it developed, Arkofsky
would perhaps better have let the girl
know of his plant" for the true Harry
Sachs learneA Of it and drew $3.50 of
the money out of the bank.
Arkofsky brought suit against the
bank and the jury gave him a verdict.
but Judge Jaggard set aside the YER
dict and ordered Judgment for the
bank.
The supreme court upholds Judge
Jaggard's order, and in the oDinion
which is written by Justice Brown.
says: -
When the plaintiff deposited his money
IN the name of Sachs without informing
the paHk ofneerS he put 1t In the power
OF Sachs to withdraw the money from the
bank at any time. If he should be Der1
mltted to recover a rule would be estab-
Iished which would be exceedingly dan
gerous to banking Institutions
The syllabus in the case is as fol-
lows:
Trial Court Sustained.
Harry Arkofsky deposited in defendant
bank the sum of $3.50 in the name of an
acquaintance, Harry Sachs At the time
the deposit was made he gave his name to
the officers of the bank as Harry Sachs.
made out and left with with them a de-
post slip or Identification card in which
ne recorded his name as Harry Sachs. Civ
ing his place of residence and other in
formation He did not inform the officers
that his true name was Arkofsky. nor did
the officers know that he was other than
Harry Sachs.
Sachs, having learned of the deposit in
his name, subsequently drew out a mart
Of the money, and Arkofsky brought this
action against the bank to recover the
amount
1t Is held that plaintiff cannot recover
for the reason that he was guilty of neg
hgence in deposftfng the money in the
name of Sachs without informing the
officers of the bank of his true name: that
me bank acted in good faith in paying
the money to Sachs, and without knowl-
edge that 1t belonged to plaintiff The
trial court properly ordered Judgment for
defendant.

SMOKE SCARES THEM
Blaze In Globe Composing
Room Creates Panic Upstairs.

A 30-cent blaze which occurred in
the composing room of T h e GI b e
yesterday afternoon caused consterna-
ton among the occupants of the build
ing, and came near leading to some
sensational attempts to escape from
the upper floors.
Shortly after 3 o'clock a blaze start
ed in some unknown manner in the
composing room, on the second floor,
which filled the corridor with smoke.
The blaze was eXtinguished before any
damage was done, but the smoke was
still in evidence, and the elevator boy
made a hasty trip to the eighth floor,
stopping at each landing long enough
to yell Fire" a few times.
From out of the numerous offices on
the different floors poured DOCTORS,
dentists, lawyers. insurance men and
other occupants of offices, together
with a half hundred stenographers and
other women employed in the building.
THE building is on fire and we are
shut off," shouted some one on the
seventh floor, and the word quickly
spread that escape by the stairway was
out of the question. Some of the young
women screamed; others did things
equally as foolish.
One girl rushed to a window on the
sixth floor, but could not get it open.
Down in the street far below was the
fire department, with crowds of peo-
pie on the other side of the street; she
tried another window, but gave UP in
despair.
By this time thoughtful tenant on
the fifth floor opened his office and in
VIted the young woman to escape by
means of his window to the roof of the
F1eld-Schlfck building, and there was
rush for his office. Considerable
difficulty was experienced in prevent
Ing the young women from jumping
to the roof and a panic was only avert
ed when a janitor entered the room
and announced that the fire had been
out for some time.
With sighs of relief the young wom-
en- gradually resumed their self COM
posture, and within a half hour all of
them were back in their respective Of
fees attending to their numerous du-
ties.
MY, but that was a narrow ESCAPED"
said one, as she passed through the
corridor of one of the upper floors.
The fire caught in the room where
the mailing lists are kept, but was
easily put out before the arrival of the
fire department. The damage was es-
timated at 80 cents.

WEST END WANTS
MORE POLICEMEN
improvement Associations May
Ask Charter Commission to
Provide More Money.

@Better police protection is needed for
the West Seventh street district said
j.. {. Markham, secretary of the West
End Improvement association, last night
at St. Francis hall e
only two policemen now patrol the
wide territory between Seven Corners and
Fort Smelling, and this section is included
in the Central district. We have called
upon Chief O'Connor, and he has assured
us that he would be only too we'll pleased
to give US more men if he had them to
give. He said he is now running his force
on a limited appropriation, and that if
anything is to be done in the way of pro-
viding better police protection a Change
must be made in the city charter allowing
the police department more money.
81 understand that the police depart
ment has prepared petition to the char
ter commission for an Increased appro-
priation, and l should urge this associa-
ton and all others in the city to indorse
it. The ST. Paul police department is
running ON a smaller annual allowance
than any police department in any city of
it's size in the country. Some cities not
larger than this give their police depart
ment as high as 100000 annually. while
THE annual appropriation of the ST Paul
department is only $1S5.o00, the same
amount it was getting in 1885.
Wants Joint Meeting Called.
"a special meeting of the executive
committees of all the improvement aSSo-
Citations of the city should be called to
take action in regard to the recommended
tions before the charter commission. The
commission is in session at present and
holds a meeting each Monday evening at
the court house. The improvement assoc
Citations should watch its proceedings, for
matters of vital interest to the city are
involved
IAN effort should be made to secure a
police substation for this end of the city.
1t is remote from the Central station and
it should be given a station of its own.
The association registered a complaint
against the express companies, which they
say will not deliver packages further
than Randolph street A committee was
appointed to make a request to have the
express service extended to TuscarOra
street.
Business is rapidly increasing in this
vicinity said Anthony friedman, presi-
dent of the association land we need ex-
press service. The company will not de-
liver goods beyond 999 West Seventh
street, and we are greatly incenven-
fenced.
