New York, March IA we'll
dressed young man, pale of face and
greatly excited. darted out of the up-
town branch of the Chase National
Bank, at Fifth Avenue and Eigh-
teenth street today and started up the
avenue at break-neck speed.
Close at his heels rushed the pay
ing teller, bareheaded and waving his
arms wildly, stop, thief" shouted the
teller. The cry was taken UP by Wo-
men as well as men, who raced up
the sidewalk after the fugitive.
Fashionable equipages also took part
in the chase.
At Twentieth street the young man
ran into the arms of a policeman who
took him to West Thirtieth street sto-
ton. There he gave his name as
John Edmundson, his age as nineteen,
and said his father was a tobacco
merchant in Raleigh, n. G. He said
he was a clerk employed by the
American Tobacco Company, the pay
ing teller declared that young Ed
mundson had tried to pass a bogus
check for $175.
HE handed me the check, which
bore the name of the American To-
bacco Company and was countersign-
ed by William Luhman, the auditor,
said the bank teller. 81 became sus-
picious and started to telephone the
tobacco company. AS did so this

ONLY A SMALL PART AT TIE PASS
Most of Kuropatlxin's Troops Still
Struggling on the Way.

At late hour Sunday night the
Associated Press summed up the war
situation in Manchuria thus:
While General Kuropatl<in has ap-
parently succeeded in saving more
of his artillery than seemed possible,
his losses in men. ammunition and
commissariat supplies in the battle of
Mukden are far greater than earlier
reports indicated, and even that por-
ton of his army which he succeeded
in extricating from the positions
danger The Japanese generals,
realizing that with a little more speed
they could have inflicted a crushing
defeat on the Russian army after the
battle of Lao Yang, determined not
to again allow an opportunity to
pass and are following after the de-
feated and sorely tried Russian force.
While a small portion of Kuropat-
kin's army has reached Tie Pass, the
greater part of those who escaped
from the battle of Mukden are still
struggling northward, being at last
accounts between twelve and sixteen
miles from their goal, with the Jap
anese, flushed with victory and re-
enforced by fresh men, harrassing
them from all sides.
Even should the remnant of the
army reach Tie Pass, it is hardly pos
sible for it to make a stand there
against the overwhelming force OPP
posing it, especially as the Russians
must be worn out and weakened by
the loss of men, guns and ammunltlon
It is more likely that Kuropatkin Will
fall right back to Harbin with what
he can save and wait there for the
re-enforcements that St Petersburg
already has promised him. possi-
BILE obstacle to the plan is General
Kawamura's army, which has not yet
been located. and which may also be
heading for the northern capital.
Third of His Army Lost.
General Kuropatkin admits that
4.190 officers and 46,991 men are not
responding to roll calls. This is
rather vague. 1t may or may not in
clude the thousands of wounded who
have been sent north. and again it

WHY Poncorn Pona.

The popcorn season is with us. but
how many. people know why corn
pops? An explanation of the popping
Of corn furnished by man of science
is that the great enlargement Of the
kernel and change in form and texture
are caused by an expansion of moisture
In the starch cells. Each Individual
cell is miniature sealed bomb, the
walls of which are sufficiently dense
to retain the moisture until it has been
converted into steam under pressure.
When old and dry corn was soaked
for twelve hours and then dried for an
equal time 1t did not pop well. II ker.
nels were allowed to dry for twenty
four hours longer the resulting kernels
of popped corn were found not only to
be very large. light and laky, but had
absolutely no suggestion Of toughness.
