TIME TO TELL TRUTH.
Russian Newspaper Criticises Naval
Policy.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 27.-In an out
spoken article in reply to the Russians
not to openly criticize the condition of
the navy, the Russ today declares the
time is passed for silence in view of
the fact that the old system of con-
cealing facts is responsible for the loss
of 150,000,000 rubles worth of war
ships and has covered US with shame
and grief 1t would be absurd to hide
the defects that can still be repaired
in the ships which remain at Cron-
stadt and Libeau. We have already
criminaly wasted enough time.
The Russ enumerates the defects in
the ships still in Russian waters,
averring that the peculiarities of the
structure of several vessels destined
for the far east make the voyage dan
gerous, and the torpedo boats are in
such a shocking condition that it is
matter of surprise that the authorities
accepted their delivery. Torpedo boats
intended to reinforce Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky must clearly not be dis
patched with the numerous defects
which have been proven to exist in
them.
In conclusion the Russ says: fEven
if Admiral Rojensvensky is a clever
leader and his $4,000 comrades are
heroic Sailors every one knows that
we have imposed upon them an almost
superhuman task in consequence of
our not being furnished with a true
account of the gravity of the events
which have occurred since the fatal
night of February s"

the headquarters of the association.
President Bushey is in receipt of
letter from G. Stanley Hall, president
of Clark university, Worcester. Mass,
stating that he would leave there on the
25th, arriving here some time To-Day.
Last year DR.. Hall was not able to come
and the lecture which he was to give
was consequently postponed. This time
such disappointment will not be ex-
perienced. His lecture will be given to-
morrow.
One of the things which promises
sensational developments is the rumor
that superintendent Dayhoff's record
in the matter of personal expenditures
while in office will be investigated by
a committee appointed from among
the members of the association. The
charge is made that Mr.. Dayhoff has
been taking advantage of his position
as a public official and charging up
items of a personal nature during his
trips to his home in Hutchinson.

Herington, Kan, Dec. 27.-The people

the murder of Herman Duval, a Rock

On Sunday evening Duval was walk

When near Main street Hirt, who was

him { vile name. Mr.. Duval then struck
Hirt with his lantern which he had in
his hand and knocked the man down.
When he arose he drew a revolver and
shot Duval in the left side just below
the heart. Mrs. Duval had hold of her
husbands arm when he was shot and
screams brought Policeman Dairy, who
was only a short distance away, to the
scene and he arrested Hirt who sur
rendered the revolver he held in his
hand without protest. The street was
crowded and Mr.. Duval was at once
carried into the Avondale hotel but he
was dead before he reached the hotel.
The bullet had pierced an artery leading
to the heart and death was almost in
stantaneous. He did not speak after
he was shot.
Hirt was locked up in the city prison
and on Monday was taken to the coun-
ty jail at Abilene. There was talk of
lynching but no attempt at violence
was made by the excited people. Hirt
was arraigned and charged with muir

the confession of Charles s. Dodge,
who was brought here from Texas on
charge of perjury which grew out of
the Morse-Dodge divorce ENHANCEMENT.
This confession is said to involve con-
spiracy on the part of men we'll known
here to defeat the ends of justice, but
the district attorney is understood to
take the position that corroboraion of
the statements is necessity to secure
a conviction.
Dodge, who returned from Texas last
week in charge of United States Mar
shall Hanson, to answer to a charge of
perjury, suffered a collapse in his room
at the Broadway Central hotel yesterday
and a physician was speedily summoned.
Later second physician was called in
