FRUSTRATED BY THE RUSSIANS

on the shores of Korea bay, between
Port Arthur and the Yalu river, April
IL, was frustrated by the Russians.
A japanese torpedo boat fotilla
secuted the shores of the bay, but was
received with such a heavy fire from
land batteries at Takushan, Chingtai-
tse, Tchanhe and Bedtime that it re-
tired. Vice Admiral Togo's flagship
then recalled nine transports, which
were on the way to land troops. A
squadron of ten warships, protecting
the transports, withdrew with them.
The Russians have 10000 troops con-
centrated at Takushan.

tourage of the court that ON hearing
OF the catastrophe the emperor wept
and, referring to Viceroy Alexieff, ex-
claimed, THAT man brings us nothing

MAY CHEAT THE GALLONS,
Car Barn Bandit Who Attempted Suicide
May Cheat Gallows of Victim.

Chicago. April 19.-Peter Neider-
meier, the leader of the car barn ban
dts, condemned to die on the gallows
Friday, made two desperate attempts
at suicide during the day: His condi-
ton as result is so precarious that
1t Is feared he will not survive. Should
he still be alive next Friday he will be
carried to the gallows and executed.
Neidermeier planned his attempted
suicide carefully. First he mastisated
and swallowed the heads of seventy
five or a hundred sulphur matches.
While the phosphorus was burning his
stomach he sawed at the radial artery
of his left wrist with a sharp pointed
lead pencil. Striking a bone in the
wrist he gave up trying to sever the
artery and turned his weapon on the
large veins on the outer side of his
left forearm and with jabs and see
saw motion he lacerated the flesh and
muscles of the arm and tore open the
veins, leaving large, jagged wounu
exposed, through which the blood
gushed in streams. dyeing his bed
clothing and running down over the
cell floor In pools. His second attempt
came after the wound
Had Been Dressed and Closed
by the county physician. Neidermeier
was lying apparently unconscious in
the hospital under guards care. His
right arm and hand were hidden by
the bed clothing and with hardly a
discernible motion he slipped the
bandage off his left arm and with his
sharp finger nails tore away the thread
in the wounds and, inserting his fore
finger in the ragged hole. he worked
again at the veins and sought to reach
an artery. He unconsciously uttered
q groan and made a convulsive move
ment, which attracted the attention of
the physicians, nurses and the guard,
and, on throwing back the coverlids,
the attendants saw with horror that

Governor Hunt Discusses Affairs In
Porto Rico.

New York, April Ex-Governor Hunt
Of Porto Rico arrived here during the
day on the steamer Ponce from San
Juan. He will remain in the United
States about two weeks. Governor
Hunt said he had not heard of his ap-
pointment as judge of the United
States district court of Montana and
Wyoming and would say nothing about
his intentions in regard to the appoint
ment. He will spend considerable
time in Washington in connection with
his official duties and In any event
will return to Porto Rico at the end
Of two weeks. Speaking Of conditions
on the island Governor Hunt said: ~:
Public affairs are in excellent con:
dition. It is probable that the value OF
the exports Of the current fiscal year
will exceed tho value of imports by
81 900, 900. Trade with the United
States increases rapidly and will con-
tinne to grow, as the sugar, tobacco,

Neidermeier had torn away the ban
dages and reopened the wound. Mel
dermeier opened his eyes and with a
leering, wan smile exclaimed:
"I.et ME die, Doc. Go away and let
me die. You were almost too late the
first time. Now. why do you try to
save my life?"
Neidermeier lost a large quantity of
blood and was almost pulseless for a
time. The most danger, however, is
that the poisonous phosphorus has
burned him SO severely that his life
cannot be saved for it's final snuffing
out on the gallows.
Neidermeier says he got his idea of
swallowing phosphorus when a pris-
oner in the Jail
Committed Suicide in That Manner
while Neidermeier was awaiting trial.
For the last two weeks Neidermeier
has been saving the matches he was
able to fitch and beg. He even gave
UP smoking to some extent so he could
secure them.
A letter written by Neidermeier
prior to the attempt at suicide was
found concealed in his cot. In the let
ter the writer incidentally expresses
repentance at his career and he re-
grete leaving the few who have loved
him, but chiefly the letter is a morbid
glorif1cation of the writer's courage
and his loyalty to his kind in contrast
with Neidermeier's associate, Gustav
Marx. The letter says:
There are four reasons why
