Russians
Are Praised for
HeroiSn.

MUKDEN, Tuesday, Dec. 13.-An in
teresting army order has been issued
calling attention to the exceptional
heroism, self-sacrifice and devotion of
two comrades, wounded infantrymen,
Harzamatoff and Ischenko, who, with
a dozen other wounded men lay for
forty-four days in abandoned trenches
between the Russian and Japanese
lines, suffering from the bitter cold and
lack of food Harzamatoff, who was
only slightly wounded, assisted the
others into the trenches, took coats
from the dead to cover them, bound
their wounds and dug a well. japanese
came and took away the coats and
filled in the well. Harzamatoff again
got the coats, reopened the well and
obtained a little dry bread and rice
from dead Russians and Japanese. The
men also were compelled to eat raw
millet.
Japanese made several visits to the
trenches, but paid no attention to the
wounded and rendered no assistance.
The Russians feiegned death, fearing
tC fall into the hands of the Japanese.
The sufferers frequently attempted to
crawl back to the Russian lines, but
were compelled by weakness and the
Pdih VI NAClA WOOHOSs az Wei 90 eAAS
steady firing, to abandon each attempt.
Finally, when only three men were
left alive, three Japanese came, one OF
whom accidentally stepped on the leg
of a soldier, who groaned aloud from
pain. Finding him alive the japanese
dragged him away from his comrades,
who were too weak to help him, de-
spite his despairing entreaties. One
OF the Japanese kicked Ischkeno in the
side, but left him for dead.
Harzamatoff and Ischkeno finally re-
solved to make a last desperate effort
the next night to creep back to the
Russian lines, which were 400 PAGES
distant. After dragging their bodies
slowly and painfully portion of the
distance they were observed by Rus
sian sentinel and met with volleys from
Russian rifles, forcing them to lie still
in the millet until the firing ceased,
when they finally succeeded in reaching
the lines. They were cared for, fed
and sent to a hospital train.
The army order paints the sublime
heroism and modesty of these two men
in glowing colors. especially that of
Harzamatoff, who, being but slightly
wounded, could have Joined the Rus
sian troops sooner, but preferred to re-
main with his comrades.
His regiment" the order says,
should be proud to have such a man
in its ranks"

WRIT OF PROHIBITION IN
CHINESE GAMBLING GASES
Eighty-Two Celestials Ask Superior
Court to Stop Police Court Pro-
ceedings Against Them.

Attorney George D. Collins, repre-
senting Leong Sing and eighty-one
other Chinese, who were arrested in
the recent raids of gambling houses
in Chinatown, yesterday applied to the
Superior Court for a writ of prohibi-
ton preventing Police Judge Fritz
from proceeding further with the
cases against them. An alternative
writ was granted by Judge Sloss re-
turnable Friday, December 23, when
an attack will be made upon the con-
stitutionality of the ordinance under
which the Mongolians were arrested.
The complaint against them, 1t is
set forth, was based upon the ordi-
nance relating to the keeping of
premises in which gambling devices
are displayed behind doors barricaded
to the police. 1t is charged that this
ordinance was executed solely against
the Chinese and not otherwise and
that the Chinese are denied equal pro-
lection under the law, in violation of
the fourteenth amendment.

BOILING WATER
DELUCES THEM
Three Men Lose Lives
and Four Are Terribly
ScaIded on a Battleship
GASKET is BLOWN OUT
Naval Lieutenant HerOically
Rescues the Survivors
From the Death Trap

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15.-Caught
IN q trap and helpless TO save them
selves, three men lost their lives and
four others, including Lieutenant Will
liam C Cole, were terrible scalded to-
day by a rush Of steam and boiling
water in the FIRE room Of the battle
ship Massachusetts,, lying at the
League Island navy yard The dead:
EDWARD BUB, married; boilermak-
er and civilian
ANDREW HAMILTON, married;
boiiernaker and civilian
CHARLES RITZEL, bOilermaker and
civilian.
The injured: Lieutenant William c.
Cole, II. s. ", assistant chief engineer
OF the Massachusetts,. scaldeG about
the head and back: William Anderson,
chips bOiiermaker, badly scslded;
James Wilson, boiiermaker helper and
civilian employe. scalded; Joseph A
Duran. boilermaker helper and civilian,
scalded.
With the exception Of Lieutenant
Cole all OF the killed and injured re-
side in Philadelphia Lieutenant Cole
received his injuries in a heroic effort
20 rescue the others.
The accident was caused by the Civ
ing way Of a gasket or rubber washer
or a boiler on the starboard side of
the ship. The Massachusetts has
been al the navy yard for some time
undergoing extensive repairs, particu-
larry TO the boilers and machinery. The
boiler on which the accident occurred
had recently been cleaned and
thoroughly tested, and the boilermakers
were to-day at. work on another boil
er. Without warning, the gasket be-
tween the boiler plate and the boiler
head gave way and a terrific rush of
steam and hot water occurred. The
doors Of the fire room were closed at
the time and the only avenue Of escape
was a safety ladder. Only one man,
Bramlet, a ships fireman, thought of
the ladder and he escaped without a
scar
Few on the upper decks knew what
had occurred until the steam came
rushing up from the seething pit be-
low. The work Of rescue was prompt
and TO this promptness those who
escaped death owe their thanks. The
first 10 enter the firehole was Lieu
tenant Cole. Without hesitating,
though scalded BY the hot water, he
dragged the men from the place to the
d. or. where they were taken in charge
by others. Bub and Hamilton were
dead when found and Ritzel died a few
minutes after being taken on deck.

Sacrifice 10 Party Harmony by
Executive Committee

CHICAGO. Dec. 15.-After an all
day session of the Prohibition Nation
al Executive Committee. where heat
ed debate varied from personal invec-
tive and vilification Of motive TO a de-
mand for prayer for guidance, Nation
al Chairman Oliver w. Stewart of
Chicago was at midnight deemed a
necessary sacrifice to party harmony
and his resignation was practically
demanded by a vote Of "a to 20 of the
members of the national committee.
Immediately following the passage
OF the Stewart resolution came a CEN
sure resolution Of William +. John
son. managing editor of the New
Voice. the official organ of the party,
cOndemning him for 'reprehensible
conduct" in aiding the defeat of Stew
art for the Legislature. Then the fac
tiOn opposed TO Stewart sprung an
other resolution calling for the i'm
mediate resignation of National Sec

bled under adjournment and will be

rows meeting.

TWO INJUNCTION SUITS
AGAINST POLICE CHIEF
jackson Street Raids Cause Tenants
to Apply to Court for Damages.
Restraining Orders Granted.


Restraining Orders Granted.
Police activity in the neighborhood
of $40 Jackson street has resulted in
two suits for injunction and dam
ages directed against Chief Whitman,
Captain Thomas S. Duke and the
''John Doe" members of the force.
Edward Moran, one of the plaintiffs,
alleges that he is a lodger occupying
suite in the Standard lodging house
on jackson street. On November H.
he says, "a force of officers threatened
to break into his rooms with a sledge
hammer. He admitted the policemen
at that time, but on December 8 he
objected and they broke down his
door. He alleges that the acts of the
officers were without warrant and he
has been damaged in the sum of $10,-
600.
The other suit was brought by Sc
bastian Ravani, owner of the cigar
store at $40 Jackson street. He had
like experience with bluecoats and
sledge hammers and two of his Gus
toners, who, he says, We're not Grim
inals, were arrested on December 5.
His claim for damages is, for $4,000.
In both cases Judge Hebbard granted
temporary restraining orders to pre-
vent repetition of the police raids
pending the trial of the suits.

REPORTS CRUISER ASHORE.
Steamship Captain Alleges Disaster to
japanese Vessel.

CHEFU, Dec. 15.-Captain Hansen
Of the German steamship Tsingtau
reports that on December IA he saw
a japanese cruiser apparently ashore
in Yungching Bay, ten miles south of
the Shantung Promontory, and that
a large merchantmen was seemingly
giving assistance to the warship.
kilograms sent to Weihaiwei and
Tsingtau brought forth no confirma-
ton of Captain Hansen's story. In a
reply received from Weihaiwei it was
explained that warships sometimes
coal in Yungching Bay from colliers
and this is generally accepted as the
explanation of what Captain Hansen
saw.

CHILE BORROWING TROUBLE.
Japan Will Take Revenge if Warships
Are Sold TO Russia.

TOXIC, Dec. 15.-The Japanese are
watching with great interest the al
legged plan of the Russian Govern
ment TO purchase warships from the
Governments of Argentina and Chile.
In response to a diplomatic inquiry
the Government of Argentina frankly
disavowed any intention to sell war
ships TO Russia, but the answer re-
ceived from Chile is said to be eva
sive.
There is a growing feeling of resent
ment here against Chile. Discussing
the question to-day an official said
that, in the event of Chile selling war
ships to Russia, Japan would unques-
tionably take the first opportunity 10
settle the score. The Japanese Cow
ernment is being urged to pointedly
inform Chile that Japan will demand
indemnity when free to enforce such
demand at the end of the war with
Russia.

GRAND JURY
PLANS WORK
Inquisitorial Body Gives
Evidence of Intention to
Probe Corruption Reports
ADOPTS A RESOLUTION
Business Like Announce
ment Is Made and Commit
tees Are Appointed to Act

The first meeting of the new Grand
Jury brought out the attitude of that
body toward graft and stories of graft
in municipal offices. The members
voiced their sentiments plainly. show
ing their determination to go to the
bottom of the scandal of levies on gam
bling and nd-extortion from fallen women.
There will be no Intellectual investiga-
tions if the new body carries out its
declared intentions
The Grand Jury met at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and the follow
ing resolution was adopted by the
unanimous vote of the seventeen
members present:
Whereas 1t is common talk among the
public and openly charged in the daily press
that certain officials and certain departments
OF our city government are not properly con
Quoted: and
Whereas 1t is the first duty of the Grand
Jury, without fear, bias prejudice. to sft
and Investigate such matters; be 1t therefore
Resolved, That this Grand Jury recommends,
advises and instructs its foreman to arrange
for such experts as may be necessary and that
the various committees of this Grand Jury be
ordered to make most thorough searching
and rigid investigation into the conduct Of
such officials and such departments they
may deem proper.
AIM AT THE. POLICE.
The certain officials and certain de-
partments' is the blanket form used to
provide for future contingencies. Just
now the Police Department is that
which concerns the jurors.
The process server is to begin work
this morning. Foreman Andrews has a
very businesslike manner of going at
things, and If fair amount of unanim-
ity prevails among the jurors in prob
ing $5-per table collections where fam
tan has flouriShed in Chinatown and in
exposing the graft in the tenderloin
districts there may be a shaking up in
the affairs of the municipality that
only the drastic powers of a Grand
Jury could bring about.
The first Indictment returned by the
new jury was against Abe Schwartz,
who is accused of embezzling $4,000
from the Phoenix Savings and Loan
Association. He has recently been ap-
pretended in the City of Mexico. and
indictment was hastened in order to in
stitute the extradition proceedings at
once. There are several charges against
him.
Mrs. M. v. Collins was appointed Of
