FRONT NINETY MILES LONG.
Batteries of Both Armies Keep Up a
Heavy Fire.

Aside from some brief official announce
ments. the army department remains unin-
formed of the trend of events in Manchu-
ria. 1t Is evident that there is consider
able activity along the entire front, which
is roughly estimated to be ninety miles
long, but it is doubtful if any general &C
ton has yet been commenced. News Is ex-
pected here soon of a severe battle at
Chuiping Tai. where the Russians rallied
after their defeat at Tsinkhetchen. 1t is
estimated that the Russian force there ex-
ceeds a division with many guns.
Unofficial reports say that the Japanese
vanguard is already in touch with the Rus
sian outposts at Chuiping Tai.
At imperial headquarters nothing can be
learned of the time and nature of the gen.
eral movement at the front. The Russians
seem to be concentrating troops on their
center and left, while contracting their line
on the extreme right.
The batteries of both armies continue to
exchange heavy fire.

WILL NOT WHITEWASH

The Minnehaha park scandal, accord

tom will probably not be found after
the charges against Officer O'Brien
have been disposed of. The mater is

by the grand jury, which is to be fur
nished with the stenographic report of
the proceedings of the Tuesday eve

The subcommittee on employment
and supplies, which has the investiga.
tion in hand, is said to be divided.

O'Brien and further investigation,
while W. F. Decker is credited by both
parties with being on the fence.

no attempt at whitewash. If necessary

.RISKED Her LIFE
TO SAVE BABIES
MOTHER, IN EXCITEMENT, HAD
FORGOTTEN THEM.
Mrs. Jesse Pohl's Quick Thought and
Action Saved Lives Of Three Children
of Mrs. Samuel Goldfnger in Tene-
menthouse Fire on the Northside.

Hearing screams from the rear Of the
house and realizing that the three little
children of Samuel Goldfnger had been
overlooked in the wild rush from a
burning two-story tenement at 603
Third street N, Mrs. Jesse Pohl yester-
day afternoon risked her life to save
the children.
The tenement is occupied by several
families including the Goldfngers and
the Pohls. Mrs. Goldfnger discovered
fire in the loft above her kitchen. For,
getting for the moment that her three
children, Abbie, Cyrus and Henry, aged
4, 3 and 2 years, were playing in the
room back of the kitchen, Mrs. Gold
finger rushed out, giving the alarm as
she ran thru the halls.
The tenement is an old-fashioned one
with winding halls, and in the corfu
sion the Goldfnger children were for.
gotten until Mrs. Pohl, who lived in the
rooms directly in front Of the Gold,
fingers, and who was among the last
to leave, heard their cries. f',
Making her. way back thru the smoke
Mrs. Pohl entered the Goldfnger rooms
and Selling the children in her arms
carried them from the burning building
When the fire department arrived
flames had broken out in the Goldfnge1
rooms, and it was only after hard
fight that they succeeded in combining
the blaze to the back part Of the build
ing. The room where the children had
been was completely filed with smoke
and in the opinion of the firemen, the
slightest delay in their removal would
have resulted in their death.
