permitted to go to the front, though
the native newspapermen will be al
lowed to do so.
The Telegraph, in an editorial on
the unprecedented severity of this CEN
sorship, suggests that Japan has some
new and important move to conceal,
possibly the re-embarkation of a per
ton of her Nforces already in Korea
for some other point in the theater OF
war, and is anxious to guard against
the possibility Of leakage through for
eign correspondents who might SYM
pathize with Russia.
A correspondent Of the Telegraph
at Seoul reports that the Russians are
evacuating the positions they occupy
in Korea.

INFANTICIDE CASES.

Hospital whose Propristors Have
Beeu Committed TO Prison.

PhllduolpnlA, April Ia SAuo"uo W
DR.. Dugan, the coroner, against o syn
dictate Of alleged physicians which, he
says, exists in this city, has resulted
in the arrest Of four persons. Three
are awaiting the action Of the grand
Jury and the fourth is under indict-
ment, charged with being accessory
to the death Of children.
, Mrs. Elizabeth Ashmead, also known
as "Dr. Condo" and "Dr. Moran" is
the principal in the case. The cor
oner says that many young women
and countless children have come to
their death through treatment re-
ceived at Mrs. Ashmeads hospital.
The woman, her son, Rowland Ash
mead, Jr., and Or" Mathew Nc
Wicker have been committed to prison
without bail. DR." David A. Mosier,
whom the coroner styles as the king
of the syndicate" is under Indictment
and is said to have made confession
revealing the names OF others en-
gagged in the same work.
Children sold at auction at the rate
of $50 each, children palmed off on
families who wanted heirs, children
starved, maltreated, killed and thrown
into sewers or abandoned in churches
and alleys-these were features re-
vealed in the inquiry yesterday.
The revelations formed a fitting
chapter to follow the evidence OF the
cremation of children at the Ashmead
house. The coroner turned search
light on the entire system Of baby
farms" and put the proprietors un-
der a rigid cross-examination.

Fulton County Honored.

Fulton county has long been
noted for buckwheat, hoop poles
and Methodist preachers. The
quality of the buckwheat has nev.
er been questioned; and while we
have not had tull report of the
hoop-poles, and cannot speak of
them, we modestly say of the
preachers that their work has
been widely pralsed-many of
them having been long enough in
the field to make records that do
great honor to their church, their
conference, and their native coun-
ty.
Two of these preachers, name.
ly, Amos S. Baldwin and George
w. Stevens, are now presiding
elders In their conference.-the
Central Pennsylvania, the only
brethren of the whole number
that have been appointed to this
office. That these brothers are
serving their church and confer
ence with increasing acceptable
ty is proved by the fact that the
conference, by large vote, hon
ors them with the responsibility
of representing, as delegates, in
the General Conference which
meets next May in Los Angeles,
