Russians Say They Don't Use Forbid

st. Petersburg, March 1.-THE
charges against the Japanese of violat-
ing the rules of civilized warfare in us
ing explosives forbidden by The Hague
convention find no echo in responsible
circles here. The Japanese are ac-
quilted on that score by a high naval
officer who holds a very responsible po-
iStGn and who said, today:
1.-The acquisition against the Japanese
of using explosives to produce poison
Gus gases is based on a miscOnception.
1t is notorious that the bursting of I,
molenite shell between decks generates
fumes from which the men are liable
to asphyZiltion. but the Russian shell
is no better and no worse than that
used by the Japanese. We have not
complained in this respect whatever
we may think about the manner in
which Japan began hostilities.'

very much agitated by his nine-year-
old sons disappearance, the lad not be-
ing seen by his father since Monday
morning at seven o'clock.
Tuesday afternoon becoming alarmed
at the continued absence of the boy ne
| left work at three o'clock and came into
town in search for him. The boy was
last seen at Stevens & Frosts market at
eight o'clock. Tuesday morning. Later
according to the statement Of Joseph
Norris he was seen riding with Green
vile =. Hall on sled loaded with
farming tools, on the Newport road. to
all appearances headed toward Mr..
Halls home in Corinna.
1t is alleged that Mr.. Hall has been
DESTROYS Of having young boy to as
sist him on his farm, and meeting the
little Indian, made some sort of COM
pact with him to this effect. the boy TO
meet him Tuesday morning and go 10
his home in Corinna.
Upon discovering that Mr.. Hall kne"
something about the boys whereabouts.
warrant was sworn out by Romeo ana
placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff
William f. Priest, who proceeded 10
Corinna and brought the boy back 10
his anxious parept.
1t is understood that Mr.. Hall ex-
planned the matter thus: Mr.. Hall saw
the boy Monday night and arranged
with him to go with him to Corinna 70
work on his farm. He told the boy 10
go home and meet him in the village III
the morning if he could go. The boy
met the farmer all right, but later de-
velopments disclosed the fact that ne
hadn't been home. 1t is not known
where he passed the night. AFTER
reaching home Hall thought perhaps
he might be in the wrong, that perhaps
the boys parents did not consent lot
him to leave although young Rohco
said they did, and 1t is alleged that he
wrote to Mr.. Davis to find out about
the matter.
Meanwhile Deputy Priest arrlveu
and took charge of the boy. Han
promptly paid the costs and the matter
was dropped, Ronco's only desire peiis

WHITES RESPONSIBLE.
German Socialist Leader on Southwest
African Troubles.

Berlin, March 17.-Herr Bebel, the
Socialist leader, speaking in the Reich
stag, today, during the debate on the
supplementary appropriation for Ger
man Southwest Africa, said the whites
seemed to him to be primarily respon-
sibIe for the instruction of the Here
ros. The colonial office in 1903. in or
der to lessen the traders exactions
ruled that debts Of certain kinds due
to traders were not collectable after
one year. and the traders proceeded to
force the collections by taking cattle
at ridiculously low valuations. This
ruling. intended to protect the natives.
Immediately multiplied the differences
about the debts.
DR.. Steubel. director Of the colonial
office said that the colonial office had
adopted the regulations which Herr
Bebel criticised. because it was seen
to be necessary to remedy the existing
evils in the relations between the trad
ers and natives.
Herr Bebel also arraigned the gov
ernmcnt for discrimination in the pun
ishment of offenders in the navy, which
brought the rejoinder from Admiral
Won TerpitZ. secretary of the admiral
ty, that Herr Bebel was not competent
to review the action of the courts.
