ROWING NOTES.
There was great activity at both
headquarters yesterday afternoon.
The Healani senior pair-oar coached
by F. B. Damon, We're out for the
first time.
The Healani freshmen still row bit
ragged, but Coach Jarret has done won |
6lers with what looked to be an un-
promising boat.
The Myrtle seniors and juniors and |
the Healani freshmen crews had |
brush across the harbor yesterday. The |
latter may have unduly f1attered them |
selves on their showing.
The Myrtle seniors take the eye nice |
~ and look like going close for the |
main event.
The Myrtle juniors appear to be a
whole long way behind their elder
brothers.
The Healani juniors are a husky out
fit and will take lot of beating They
catch well and apparently have lots of
reserve strength.
The Healani's afternoon practice is
delayed on account of the club having
onIy two barges to their opponents
four.
The Healani juniors are the same as
won last years freshmans race with
he exception that Blackman takes
-ishman's place at bow.
This is the last year the races will
pc rowed over the old course. With the
larbor improvements the lighthouse
will be moved about 200 feet back, al
owing a straight shoot from the rail-
Dad wharf to the spar buoy.

HEADQUARTERS of the japanese Army,
at Port Arthur. Jan. 9.---Via Tien Tsn.
Jan. l7.-When the Kwangtung pen
insula was bisecced by the second Jap
anese army the entire Russian force
in the military district of Talien. which
includes Port Arthur and Dalny was
$4,000. The Russian force at the bat-
tie OF Nanshan was 1000 and 1000 of
these were lost. There have actually
surrendered at Port Arthur between
nine and ten thousand soldiers and
sailors, of whom MANY were unfit for
duty. The sick and wounded number
$4,000. Fifty per cent. of the officers
of the garrison were killed, and only
90 went through the siege unscatched.
The fortress could have held foI
some time longer but for the fire of
the japanese IL inch hoWitZers. which
destroyed the food depots, the work
shops and the ammunition stores and
made the repair Of defensive works
impossible.

Dozens of guns were smashed and

fire. Between Wantai Hill and 'P
fort a battery of 10 inch howitzers had
been emplaced. and every one of these
guns was damaged, while some OF
them We're totally destroyed. One gun
was evidently being loaded and ready

done proves to have been much greater
than any one on the Japanese side

Negress Whom Our Yankee
Friends Designate as Mrs.
elias
CRy tho Associated Press


New York. Jan. 1.-THE trial OF
the suit of John r. Plat the octoge-
merriam millionaire. to recover from
Hannah Elias, negress. nearly three
quarters of a million dollars which he
alleges she extorted from him during
d period extending over more than
twenty years, was begun before Jus
tice O'Gorman in the Supreme Court
today.
Former Governor Black. senior
counsel for Mrs. Elias moved that the
case be dismissed on the ground that
the plaintiff had been guilty of mex
cusable delay in bringing his COM
plant The motion was denied by
Justice O'Gorman as was another mo-
ton asking for jury trial.
When Mr.. Plat arose in response
to a call from his counsel he appeared
to be very feeble and was assisted to
a chair in the witness stand. Guided
by questions from his counsel, spoken
in a very loud tone, the witness told
of his first meeting with Mrs. Elias
more than twenty years ago. His
story was practically the same as that
told when he was on the stand in the
magistrates court. His memory was
extremely poor and he could not re-
member the amounts of money he had
loaned to Mrs. Elias.
Mr.. Plat told of many times when
he gave Mrs. Elias money in various
amounts TO settle bills which she told
him might result in law suits if not
paid. He made these payments be-
cause he feared that if any of the
cases should get into court his name
would become involved and his rela-
lions with the woman would become
known. Mr.. Black handled the wit
ness very kindly in animation.
his apparent desire being to show that
any money given Mrs. Elias by Plat
was given voluntarily. He said he had
no feeling against Mrs. Elias and that
he never intended to sue her.
Mr.. Elias entered court during the
progress of the trial. ACCOMPANIED by
a white man and q white woman. She
allowed it to become known that her
companions We're a bodyguard to pro-
tect her against any possible demon
stration.
Mr. Black read from the testimony
taken before a police magistrate in
which Mr.. Plat said he was not afraid
Elias would not expose him unless she
had to.
Mr.. Plat conceded the testimony az
read was correct. saying:
''As the boys say, l believe she ould
have staad pat"
And if your brother had let you
alone YOU would have stood patti"
81 would"
THAT is ALL Mr.. Platt." concluded
Mr.. Black. and Mr.. Plat left the
stand. The hearing was adjourned
until tomorrow.
