Russia Believed to Have Sent Army
 Into Northern Korea.
 Victoria, B. C.. Jan. 5.-Mail ad- vices received by the steamer Empress of Japan state that the Russians have built a series of redoubts about Muk- den and Tehling similar to those flank ed at Liaoyang by, the Japanese. Five oommissiarat stores have been estab- lished between Tehling and Fushan and large stores of ammunition are &C., cumulating at each. Four trains with troops run south daily.
 At vladivostok great preparations are being made, though the garrison was weakened by the dispatch of much field artillery to Mukden. The garri- son is not being materially increased. no troops being diverted from Muk- den. Thirty vessels with stores and munitions have arrived since August. mostly from Hong Hong, Shanghai and Saigon. There is a plentiful supply of coal and flour. but medicine is scanty. The steamer Calchas, which arrived at Nagasaki in mid December from Vladivostok, reports that cruis- CT not previously seen there was en- tering as the vessel left.
 Japan has been advised of the in- creasing numbers of Russian troops in Northeast Korea and it Is consid- cred in many quarters that Russia Is sending an independent body in that direction from Fushan with the object of attacking the Japanese right and rear at the Shakhe while the main forces are giving battle In front of the Japanese positions along the river. The river Liao began to freeze at its mouth December 20. and transport service was interrupted.
 With Yinkow blocked by ice,' the Japanese will use Dalny, whence troop trains are running regularly to Liao- yang since the guage was altered and the, Japanese locomotives put into ser- vice. The Seoul -Fusan Railway was completed December 15, and traffio started connecting with the military line from Seoul to Wiju. Thence carts are carrying stores over the Pekin road to augment the supplies taken by rail and road on the Liaoyang pen insula.

CLASH OF AUTHORITY
CONTROL or MRS. CHADw1cK THE
 ISSUE.
The County Solicitor and the Diafrict Attorney Vary in Legal Opin-
 Ions Submitted to the Ls.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 5.---As the result of a clash between the federal and county authorities that has been on since Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick arrived from New York. as to who has Juris- diction over the prisoners care while she Is fin the county jail. the federal authorities tonight definitely said that they would assume control under au- thority vested in them by a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States 1 ma similar case in another State and which they think can be ap- piled in this instance.
 The dispute has arisen because of the privilege assumed by former Sher- if Barry in permitting her husband and ohter persons to call on Mrs. Chadwick contrary to an order of the Federal Judge that written permission for such interview or call should first be obtained from that court.
 Sheriff Barry retired from ofice last Saturday at midnight. He was succeeded by George c. Mulhern.
 As a county officer. Sheriff Mulhern today obtained from the county soIici- tor an opinion to the effect that inas- much as the Jail was a county insti- tuition, a United States prisoner was no more than a county prisoner while confined therein and was under the authority of the sheriff.
 An opinion was handed to the Sher- if by District Attorney John J. Sulli- van, later in the day, to the effect that the Federal authorities controlled Mrs Chadwick's case and that no persons shall be allowed to see her without permission. It was main tained by District Attorney Sullivan that Mrs. Chadwick is a Federal pris- oner and the Sheriff is for the time being a Federal keeper. To enforce its order two deputy marshals have alternated in the County jail today and tonight in guarding the way to Mrs. Chadwjcks cell.
 Not even her attorney, J. P. Daw- ley, was allowed to see her today be- cause he had not obtained permission from the Federal officials. Dawley. who is a very prominent lawyer, as- serted the prerogative of his calling to see his client. but the powerful dep- uty marshal refused him entrance to the womans corridor in the jail. Daw- ley was furious and said to the mar shal that if he had half as much phys ical strength as he had he would throw the marshal out of the window
 The trunk belonging to Mrs. Chad wick was opened today by Attorney Louis Grossman. The trunk contain ed only wearing apparel for Mrs. Chadwick, consisting of four dresses and an entire suit of moleskin. the whole being worth, Mir. Grossmap thought. perhaps four or five thou sand dollars.
 Both the trunk and satchel which were carefully guarded while Mrs. Chadwick was in New York city, have been opened and the contents exam ined by MT. Grossman. The result shows nothing that will add material ly to Mrs. Chadwicks assets.

COULDN'T GET BATTER.
Police 0nlcer Graham Returns from
 Nashville.

FOuco UmceE Gf8n0m E&ctutue IfOm
 Nashville.
 Special Ofiicer E. W. Graham of the Montgomery police department return ed to Montgomery last night from Nashville, Tenn, where he went to bring back with him Paul Battier, charged with robbing Montgomery jewelry stores.
 Mir. Graham was unsuccessful in his mission owing to complications which arose in regard to the claims of Ala bama and Tennessee for the criminal.
 Speaking of his trip. Mir. Graham said. when I reached Nashville. I discover ed that Chattanooga also wanted the man on some kind of a charge. The Nashville authorities wanted to let me have Battier, but the Governor of Ten- nessee seemed to favor Chattanooga and withdrew his approval of the reauisition. The Nashville police rather than let Chattanooga have him. swore out two warrants charging Bat tier with bringing stolen property into the State of Tcnnesse, a felony. and he was indicted by the grand jury there on the testimony of J. A. Weiss. a Montgomery jeweler. The case was made by Mir. Weiss identifying a dia- mond booch found in Battier's possess sion as his property.
 T don't think that we will be able to bring Battier here for some time and doubt seriously if we will ever get him."

MUST STAND TRIAL.
etoesseI Must Face Court Martial for
 SurrcnderinG Port Arthur.


 Surremdering Port Arthur.
 St. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-Few incidents of the whole war have aroused more bitter criticism than the blunt an- nouncement. officially issued by the general stan. that General Stoessel will have to come home and stand court martial for surrendering the fortress of Port Arthur.
 quite according to law, 1t is bitterly nouncement should have been gratui- tiously made in the same bulletin con- taining General Stoessers appeal to the Emperor for "lenient judgment on a garrison reduced to shadows, who have done all that was possible for human beings to uphold the honor of Russia in the face of her enemies"
 The Novoe Vremya despite the ex- ample made by the suspension of the Russ yesterday, says:
 By all means, let us have a court martil and make it. if possible, severe. The cruel judge will perhaps, deal leniently with those who have given their blood and lives for their country. Perhaps. also, the court will determine why a fortress known to be threatened with blockade is not sup piled with necessary food and muni- tions to enable it to hold out. Per haps such court will bring to light many dark. hidden things. and expose the creeping. underground enemies of Russia, who are infinitely more dangerous to the nation than the foe who fights in the open"

Ripley Asks For a Re.
 hearing.
CRITICS OF THE SECRETARY
Opportunity Desired for Him
 to Answer Them.
President of the santa Fe wisAe. shst ReIations of His Road and Colorado Fuel and Irsn
 Be Fully Explained.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-The Record Herald will say tomorrow: President E~ F. Ripley of the Santa Fe Road has wired the Interstate Commerce Commission asking for a rehearing in the now la nous Colorado Fuel and Iron Company case.
 His purpose, as indicated in a state- ment made later, Is to endeavor to clear his railway of charges. of lawlessneas. and to give to Secretary of the Navy Paul Morton an opportunity to answer his critics. At a late hour tonight Mir. Ripley had not received q reply from the commission, but there is It, tic doubt that the request will ne granted and an early date set for the hearing.
 The commission was not asked to have the hearing at any particular place. but as the matter came to a head at Chicago, 1t Is expected that the in- quiry will be resumed here.
 President Ripley tonight said that should a rehearing be granted, he would take the stand ana make full disclosure regarding the Santa Fefa dealing in the Colorado Fuel and Iron case. Asked if Secretary Mok5an <Aag would be a witness. he said fN7 8s did not doubt that he would. aMSSough he had not communicated with% Vim on tHi9 pOiHts Sikputu~ MAAc 34I~ clared. that Mir Morton woN1d insist upon being heard and I've nof doubt he will do SOL
 santa Fe Not . Law Brfaker.
 q have asked the commission for ( rehearing because the santa Flo has been branded in public pfint all over the country as a fiagraHt and bare faced transgressor of the law and also because of an apparent attempt to in- jure MT. Morton. now a member of the cabinet. The santa Fe is not ' law-breaker. and in the case undss discussion we have done no wrong nos transgressed the law, as we under stand the law"
 .What will be the gist et the Santa Fe's defense before the Commission7 q
 That it was simply an agreement between the Santa Fe and the Fl Paao and Southwestern whereby the former was to accept s2 go ton on all coal up to Deming, provided 1t was des- tined for any of the industries on the line of the Fl Paso and Soutkwestern The rate applied to all industrles and left them open to buy coal from any one. That is. any shipper of coai could get the same rate. I am mot sure that through tariffs were on his with the Commission and think thas perhaps they were not. We do moi understand however, that the publica. tion of through, tariffs was necessary and this was an agreement with the Fl Paso regarding supplies consumed by the industries along It's lines. Al we understand the law such supplies are an exception to the rule.'

Discusses Higher Criticism of Bible at
 New Orleans Conference.
 New Orleans, Jan. 5.-The Southern Rabbinical Conference devoted the day to reading papers. Rabbi A. J. Messing discussed higher criticism of the Bible and claimed 1t had made no inroads on the Jewish faith.
 Rabbi ]. Friedland spoke of the place of the Messiahic ideal in Judaism, holding 1t was not an essential, and favoring ,Zionism as a national hope.
 In strong contrast to this was the address by Rev. Moses P. Jacobson, who placed America above Judaism, and said Zionism had no place in IsraePs future. He favored restrict ing immigration so as to bar out. the undesirable and urged a plan of syna- gogical charity in which each congre- gation would take care of its own poor, eliminating indiscriminate help.
