PLANNING IMPROVEMENTS.
Santa Fe Hospital Grounds May Be
Converted Into a Park.

The Santa Fe Hospital association
will in a few days let a contract for
grading the west half of the block
upon which the hospital stands, at
Sixth and Jefferson.
The hospital grounds are up about
eight feet above the street grade, and
have uD to this time been surrounded
by a stone wall. The plan is now to
cut all the west half of the block
down to street grade and convert it
into a park for the use of the pa
tents. 1t will necessitate the moving
of about 1900 cubic yards of dirt,
which is being sold to people in the
east part of town who have lots to be
filed up. BY cutting this part of the
hospital grounds down to grade, the
appearance of the building will be
made much more beautiful. and will
make a finer showing from the east
approach.

FOUND IN ASYLUM.
Rich Man Who Ran Away to Escape
the Law.

New York, Aug. 11.-Godfrey Bloch,
who fed from the federal authorities
nearly two years ago rather than tell
of his connection with the alleged silk
frauds which involved the firm of A.
S Rosenthal & Co., is reported to
have become insane and is now an
inmate of a sanitarium in this state.
His condition is said to be hopeless.
Bloch disappeared in October, 1902,
when the case was pending before the
grand jury, and it was then said that
he had gone away by order of his ply
stefan in an attempt to regain his
health. He was later located in Mont
real, but soon left that place and went
to Lyons, France.
His family Joined him there. Bloch
had been acting peculiarly as a result
of mental anxiety, and it was found
that his brain had given way. Mem
bers of the family communicated with
the federal officials, and in view of
the mans unfortunate plight the
promise was given that if he were
placed in a retreat no further proceed
ings would be taken against him. Ros-
enthal, head of the firm, disappeared
while under Indictment, FORGETTING $780,
600 bail. The alleged irregularities
involved imports of silks valued at
millions of dollars which were said
to have been undervalued by an ap-
praiser- Bloch was stated to have
been silent partner in the firm.

DRIVEN TO SEA
Continued from First Pageo

tackled the Russian positions there
July 25- Five Japanese divisions
moved across the plain to the assault
under cover of their guns. The onset
was so desperate that it almost verged
on frenzy 1t was said at Port Arthur
that Field Marshal Omya commanded
the Japanese forces in person and sew
eral princes of the blood and veteran
generals led on the attacking forces,
source previously unequalled. The
Japanese artillery received a fresh
supply of ammunition the previous
evening and never before was there
such terrific hail of projectiles, but
the efforts of the Japanese were un-
availing against the determined stand
of the Russians, who proved them
selves worthy sons of the defenders of
Sebastopol. and the attack was re-
pulsed with enormous losses. The
refugee gives the Russian losses at
1.500 and those of the japanese at
10000.
After the battle General Stoessel
ordered out every available surgeon to
dress the Japanese wounded, but the
Russians were unable to bring them
into the fortress, where the problem
of feeding the noncombatants is too
serious. Consequently the Japanese
wounded were left on the field of bat
tie to be taken off by their own people.
The refugee also said that Japanese
spies were swarming along the rail-
and from TienTsin to Sin NINTH. He
claimed there were spies in every car.
The Chinese are crowding into Lao
Yang from the villages which are
threatened with becoming involved in
the approaching battle.

MCCARTHY ALLOWED TO PLAY.
Omaha Manager Settles Controversy
About Saints New Player.

Dennis McCarty, Topeka's new pitch
e. may play ball with the Saints. A
wire was sent to Manager O'Rourke of
the Omaha-WeSteTn League team which
read as follows: sMay McCarty play
minor league ban?' This answer came
back: Yes" So the Celestials have
another good twirler. He was scheduled
for slab duty this afternoon.
McCarty. ably seconded by Dusty"
Miller and some other Omahog, pro-
ceeded to give Manager O'Rourke a
good licking a month ago, and it made
the latter very angry as might be ex-
pected. He promptly suspended both
of them, and then leniently gave both
permission to get down into the brush
league somewhere and play out the rest
of the season, but told them to keep
clear of Glass B baseball. McCarty
told the Topeka mana cement the cir
cumstance of his suspension, but it was
taken with a pinch of salt, for when
lola protested him on Wednesday, he
was taken out and Hughes put into his
place.

Delaney Is Lucky.

The Wichita Star says: OF all those
from Wichita who had chances in the
Rosebud land drawing L. r. Delaney,
local agent of the Santa Fe, is the
only one to draw land of real value.
Delaney'S number was 203, and he
ought to get claim worth $4,000. He
registered for fun He can hardly
use a farm. OF course he would not
quit railroading in order to farm, and
he has no wife to hold down the claim
while he holds down the job. 1t would
have been much more fortunate had
the Star man drawn the number rath-
er than he But so it goes.
1t is barely possible that the Santa
Fe man may consider the proposition
of taking a partner to hold down the
claim for him.

superintendents in Conference.

E. E. Marshall, superintendent of the
Hutchinson reformatory, is in Topeka
today to confer with Dr. Biddle, super
intendent of the Topeka insane asylum,
relative to removing one of the reform
atory inmates to the asylum. The law
allows the directors of the reformatory
to send inmates to an asylum if they
become insane, but the asylum authori-
ties do not like to receive such in
mates. There is at present a large col
ored man. in the reformator who is in
sane and becomes violent at times.
superintendent Marshall says he not
only cannot be properly cared for in
the reformatory, but he destroys dis
cipIine among the other prisoners.

Mother and Son Had Not Set Foot on
Street in That Time.

New York, Aug. 11.-Mrs. Theresa
Born, 81 years old, and her son Paul,

a hospital from a back room in a
Blocker street house where they had
existed 10 years without having set

ley car for the first time while on his
way to the hospital and he became
greatly excited when he was carried
to a room there in an elevator.
Fifteen years ago Paul fell sick. He
was attended by his mother, and when
their means failed they were sus-
tanned by agents of various charitab BILE
organizations and by neighbors. Re-
Gently the mother was stricken with
paralysis and PauPs condition rapidly
grew worse from lack of food and
care Finally neighborS became
alarmed for fear both would starve
to death and notified the authorities
who removed the invalids to the hos
pital none too soon.

LOST IN ADIRONDACKS.
Son of Wealthy Parents Has Been
! Missing Four Days.

New York, Aug. 11.-More than a
score of parties, led by experienced
guides, have been searching the
Adirondacks during the past four DAYS
for some trace of Aaron Frost jr., of
Brooklyn, whose disappearance has
just been reported. Frost is IS years
old and is the son of a wealthy partner
in a big Fifth avenue jewelry store
He was camping with a friend in
the mountains and failed to return
from a fishing trip upon which he ven
tured alone. Being an experienced
woodsman. it was supposed he had
gone further than intended and would
return the following morning. Upon
his failure to do so the alarm was
sent to the nearest camp and a viGor-
Gus search at once began. Not the
slightest trace of the lad has yet been
discovered.

A FINE OF ONE CENT.
But the Costs in the Case Made the
Total Much More.

Isaac NJ. Frisbee, about so years of
age, who runs a restaurant on East
Fourth street. was fined one cent and
costs in the city court this morning for
disturbing the peace of Lafe Clark
who is about the same age.
The costs in the case amounted to
S19.45- Judge McCabe thought that the
size of the latter would more than
make up for the light fine, so he let it
go at the minimum sum. The trouble
occurred about August 1 and both in
sisted that il come to trial A big lot
of witnesses were summoned. making
the cost exceptionally high for the ma
ture of the offense.
