ADDICES FUNDS GETTING LOW2
Senator Alice Quoted as Saying He Paid
Registration Fees Out Of Own


There is an impression among politi-
clans of all creeds that the Addicks
funds are getting low and the state
ment is being pretty generally accept
ed.
In substantiation it is quoted that
Senator Alice openly stated that he
paid out of his own pocket to bring
about the registration of voters i'm Kent
county, and Secretary Of State Layton
is said to have done the same thing in
Sussex county.
AS a matter of fact few Union Repub-
lican voters have registered as yet in
New Castle county. Whether they are
holding off because Of the lack of the
registration fee. or want to make a
showing at the last. is matter Of con-
lecture. There are only three more
days for registration, and tNs much is
certain: Unless they register and pay
the registration fee next Saturday the
Union Republicans will not be quail
fled to vote at the county primaries. at
which time candidates for the Legisla-
ture are named.
1t is rumOred on what seems good
authority that the Union Republicans
have appealed to the Republican Ma
tional Committee for aid, but so far
without success.

.RUM0RS THAT ICE MAN
DISAPPEARS WITH MONEY
Company by Whom Man
Was Employed Denies
the Story

1t was rumored this morning as COM
ing from the police that an employe OF
the Diamond Ice Company has been
missing since last Monday and that
when he left the city he took with him
S25 belonging to the firm.
II is said that after collecting the
money from customers of the company
who reside in the Forty Acres on Mon
day morning he drove his wagon to the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad station and
alighting from the vehicle told his as
sistant that he would return i'm ten
minutes. 1t is said that the latter watt
ed from 10 until 10 o'clock. but his SUI
perior failed TO return and the SUPPOSE
ton is that he bought a ticket at the
station and left the city.
When seen relative to the matter this
morning Secretary James Bowers, of
the Diamond Ice Company, absolutely
denied the story. He sa:- she man in
question left the employ Of the COM
pany Of his own accord and that his
accounts were all right.

Chefoo, Aug. 1S.-Reports received
here today say that the condition Of
the beleagured garrison is hourly be-.
coming more desperate.
Japanese mortars and big guns are
spreading death and destruction, and
to add to the horror, fires are raging
in several quarters.
Exploding shells have ignited coal in
barges and buildings, and it is feared
that, should the flames spread sutiic-
iently to reach the stores of powder
and ammunition. the final assault of the
Japanese will find the Russians unable
TO defend themselves.
The lines of the besiegers are mar
rowing rapidly. They have captured
position within two miles of the de-
fenses and boast that the fortress will
be taken in five days.
The defenders are still doggedly de-
termined to fight to the last and, while
they admit that they must capitulate
eventually, they claim to be able to
make a successful resistance for two
months.

Russia Calls For Men.

St. Petersburg. Aug. 1S.-Vice-Ad-
miral Rojestevensky, commander of the
Baltic fleet, today announced his nag
and staff appointments. Captain
Clapier Becolong is made Chief Of
staff.
The demand for naval officers is so
pressing that all the officers detailed
for duty at the Naval College have been
ordered on active service, and the col
iege has been closed.
The mobilization Of the reserve troops
lin five Of the seven districts of the
province of st. Petersburg has been
completed and the mobilization OF those
of the Russian capital itself is expected
to be announced in a few days.
Probably thirty thousand men will be
taken out of the population and called
to the cOlors. Many factory and mil
hands will be included, but the effeci
industrially will be lessened becaus'
most of the manufactures are running

THESE ARE QUEER DUCKS;
WILL NOT TAKE TO WATER
The Twenty-four Placed in
the Fish Pond Seem to
Prefer Dry Land

In addition to the ducks presented
to the Park Commission by DR.. James
H. Morgan and placed in the fish pond.
DR.. Morgan yesterday contributed two
to the collection. They are Chinese
ducks and are among the prettiest fowl
ever seen in this city.
There are now twenty-four ducks in
the pond. including Chinese. scoveys
and mallards.
A peculiar fact in connection with the
fowl. is that they absolutely refuse to
take to the water Beyond dipping
their bills in the water they seem to
have no further use for it and huddle
together on the shore.
John ID. Kelly recently placed a huge
sea turtle i'm the pond and some believe
that the ducks are afraid of it. Park
Guard James Richmond. however, says
that the ducks acted as peculiarly be-
fore the sea turtles arrival.
