CHICAGO TO HAVE
MURDER BUREAU
New Methods Of Securing Evil
dence Evolved From Ban
dts Case.
Longest Murder Trial in History
Of Illinois Furnishes
Plan. \
New York Sun Special Service

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, March 11.-Taking as an
Illustration the completeness Of the
evidence against the car barn bandits,
Assistant States Attorney Olson said
yesterday that the formation of a
murder bureau would be the out
come Of the case. The states case
was made complete, he said, and the
defendants prevented from perfect1ng
cutting officials got to work on the case
within a few hours. To the jury Mr..
Olson said
We got there first. They had had no
time to get together on defense. They
had no opportunity to destroy evidence.
The lesson this case has taught will not
be lost. There has long been need of a
murder bureau by means of which the
state can get to work on it's case as soon,
at least, as the defense's plans are begin
ming to form. The proper officials are
preparing to take such measures that
will make the unusual zeal,'' of which
the defendants complain in this case. the
common characteristic Of all subsequent
murder prosecutions.
Mr.. Olson said later that the states
attorney and the police will organize
a sort Of flying squadron" to look
after murder cases. The work of
catching murders will still be strictly
police business, but the evidence will
be secured under the direction Of the
states attorney.
It is expected by night verdict
in the car barn murder case will have
been reached, closing a trial which
has been in progress since Jan. 6, one
Of the longest murder trials in the
history Of Illinois.

.ROSEBERY TAKES
BALFOUR TO TASK
Liberal Lord Angrily Protests
Against British Premier's
Recent Speech.

London, March lin the house Of
lords yesterday Lord Rosebery asked
Lord LansdoWne, the foreign secre-
5tary, what jurisdiction existed for the
use by Premier Balfour, in recent
debate, OF the word .calumny,'' in
reference to assspeech by Lord Rose
berry in the fiscal controversy. .
Lord LansdoWne admitted the
premier had used the word in the heat
of debate. He said he thought that
the circumstances justified some
warmth, but said Mr.. Balfour said
he did no. desire to impute to Lord
.Rosebery a deliberate attempt to mis-
represent him.
Lord Rosebery again rose, and, de-
sclaring the explanation had not been
satisfactory, he fercely attacked the
premier, whom he accused of being
too thin skinned adding:
People who live in glass houses
should not throw stones. It is all very
we'll to defend such language by say
ing it was due to the heat of debate
and only Pretty Fanny's way. If a
man cannot curb his tongue better
than that he is unfit to be the first lord
of the treasury.
IT do not personally care a farthing
what language Premier Balfour uses
about me, and only brought the mat
ter before the house in order to point
out that there are decencies of debate
that should be used even by those who
occupy the highest position"

RUSSIANS RETREATING,
superfiuous Troops Withdrawn from
Port Arthur to Hardin.

New York Sun Special Service,
Tientsin, March THE Russian
I authorities auth are reported to be with
drawing all the superfluous troops Of
the Port Arthur garrison to Hardin
and K1rin, owing to the shortness Of
provisions At Port Arthur supplies
;: @. cattle are being obtained surreptI-
.tlously from Shan-hai-kuan.
1t is also stated that explosives are
being placed in the houses at DaIny
IN preparation for the occupation OF
the town by the japanese, which ap-
parently is regarded as inevitable in
the near future.
The Russians at Niu-chuang are
prepared to block the river and scut-
tie the gunboat Sivoutch in the event
Of the Japanese advance on that
town.
It is probable in that case that the
Russian troops would withdraw. It
is doubtful whether they will be able
to hold either Niu-chuang or Port
Arthur against a resoIute attack.
Besides 10000 men at Niu-chuang
under General Kondratovitch, there
are said to be 10000 at Port Arthur.
while Kin-chau and Fu-chau are both
strongly held, thereby commanding
both banks Of the mouth Of the Lao
river, where heavy guns are mounted.

Less than three months have passed

British Officer Declares Port Arthur's
Fall Is Main Object.

Victoria, B. c., March 11.-Captain:

rived here yesterday from Japan
He says that when the japanese
cruisers Nishin and Kasuga, which
were purchased from Argentina.
passed the Suez canal, they were pur-
sued by a Russian squadron. The
japanese cruisers, however, were too
speedy for the enemy and got safely
away.
Captain Hill says japanese admirals
told, him that the main object of the
Japanese operations at present was to
take Port Arthur.
No effort, the naval minister as
sured Captain Hill, would be spared
to capture the Russian stronghold as
quickly as possible. It would then
be fortified by the Japanese, who:
would remain there instead Of follow
ing the Russians into the wilds Of
Northern Manchuria and Siberia.

last item was finished and a report

found that the sections from which
this trespass was made were sold that

$3.50 thousand. The law requires
value of the timber in case Of uninten-
tional trespass, and treble value If the
trespass is wilful. On the cruisers re-

London Base ief on Lack Of News
from 5rOnghold.

London, Mar : lit is believed
here that the Japanese have made q
final and successful assault by land
and sea on Port Arthur and that the
Russian stronghold has fallen.
This belief is based on the fact that
for twenty-four hours there has been
no direct news from Port Arthur. The
last dispatch received, to the effect
that the Japanese had again bonn
barded the town. was dated Thurs
day, March 10, 10 a. m.
It is now nearly Saturday morning

Japanese have been repulsed, 1t would
have been reported before this.
