STOLE MONEY
ANDREW sALsTAD TRIED TO
MAKE TT APPEAR THAT HE.
TOO, WAS ROBBED.

Andrew Salstad, 20 years old, is
locked up at Central station charged
with stealing 5000 from his friend and
roommate, John Nelson.
It is alleged that while Nelson was
away, Salstad opened his trunk and
took out the money. To make it look
as tho burglary had been committed,
he broke the lock on his own trunk
and scattered the contents about the
room. When the two came home from
york they expressed equal surprise.
Salstad, however, could not keep up
him.
Shortly after salstad was arrested
last night he broke down and told the
officers that he had taken the money
and that tHey could find it at certain
point under the sidewalk on Twentieth
avenue N. The officers found the
money according to directions.
In police court this morning Salstad
waived examination and was held to
the grand jury in $500 bail

Many Killed in storming of Russian
Positions 1908 Meter Hill
Reported Retaken.

Toxic, Dec 6-The diary of the
fighting around 203-Meter hill, which
is published in the Japanese papers,
describes the terrible losses involved
in the storming of the Russian posi-
ton from dawn of November % till
IL o'clock in the forenoon of that day.
During the night six Russian counter
attacks were repulsed. One, which
was launched at four o'clock in the
morning, was characterized by several
bayonet attacks, and was persisted in
until noon of December 1, when the
hopelessness of the attempts being evi-
dent the Russians retired.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 6.-Neither the
admiralty nor the war office is able to
confirm the report from Chefoo that
the japanese have been unable to hold
2O3 Metre hill, but this news is quite
in accordance with expectations. Ex-
perts here are convinced that the cap
ture of 203 Metre hill will be of no adj
vantage to the Japanese unless they
can gain possession of the neighbor-
ing forts.

salient features of the annual report of
Frank P. Sargent. commissioner general
of immigration. The report says that
during the past fiscal year 812,87O aliens
arrived in the United States, of which
549, 100 were males and 263, no females.

in very enfeebled condition through
out the postal investigation, during
which his name conspicuously figured,
and which finally resulted in his remov-

which he was acquitted was a heavy

Mr.. Tyner was born in Brookyllle,
Ind, January II, 1926. He had been

of the time since March, 1861, when he
was appointed special agent in the
post office department. The sensational
climax to Mr. Tyner's official career oc-

marily removed by Postmaster General
Payne, following the taking by Mrs
Tyner and Mrs. Barrett of papers from
the safe in the Office of the assistant at
torney general, of which Mr.. Tyner was
then the head. Mr.. Tyner was ill at
home and the office was under investi-
cation by post Office inspectors. Law
Clerk Christiancy, who was the acting
head of the Office, was removed shortly
afterward because he permitted the pa
pers to be taken Mr.. Barrett, who had
retired from the law clerkship to prac-
tice law before the department was in
dicted with Mr.. Tyner on charge of
conspiracy in connection with the use
of the mails by certain alleged 'sget-

quilted on this charge.
