FIRST DAY OF BATTLE
STORY OF HOW JAPANESE PUT
RUSSIANS In DISORDER.
The Defeat of Cars Fleet caused by
Good Gunnery of Togo's Men-Cen.
tered Their Fire on FIagships Un.
til They Went Down-Japanese Tor
pedo Attacks Were Persistent.

From the accounts of participants in
the battle of the Sea of Japan, as CIV
en- at Vladivostok, can be constructed
a picture of the first day of the recent
fight.
When the Russian fleet found itself
120 miles south of Tsu island 1T was
headed for the straits in three col
umns, the battleships and five cruisers
on the left, the light cruisers on the
right and the transports and torpedo
boats between them. The weather
was foggy, and the view, therefore,
difficult.
At $3.50 in the morning the Japanese
feet was discovered by the cruiser
Idzuma, which Numbered onto them in
the fog.
The Japanese cruisers disappeared,
and the Russian fleet proceeded
through the strait.
Suddenly, at 1912 o'clock in the
morning, a silhouette of Japanese YES
sells, their greenish blue paint making
them scarcely visible in the fog, LOOM
ed up to the westward of the Russian
vessels. This japanese fleet consisted
of four cruisers and three battleships.
They Immediately opened heavy fire,
which was especially directed against
the flagships of the various squadrons
of the Russian fleet.
Admiral Rojestvensky signalled to
the transports to place themselves on
the right Of the squadron of light cruis-
RI
from the fighting portion of the feet,
which was now holly engaged and suf-
fering under the we'll aimed fire of the
japanese.
Enemy's Fire Deadly.
Owing to the precision of the Japa-
nese gunners and the concentration of
their fire on the flagships, within an
hour and half the Kniaz Souvaroff
and the Osliabia were reduced to
wrecks and soon sank.
The battle continued until o'clock
without any further noticeable change
in the situation. Soon thereafter the
battleship Alexander III. began to list
badly and dropped out of line, but was
quickly repaired, resuming her place
and reopening fire. The Japanese, no.
ticing the condition of the Alexander
I'LL, concentrated their fire upon her
and she droppeu out of the line, this
time finally, and disappeared.
The heavy fire of the Japanese II
inch guns were then directed on the
Borodino, which was soon disabled
and sunk.
Broke Up Russian Fleet.
The battleship Sissoi Veliky was now
ablaze, but was firing every available
gun. At this hour the onslaught of
torpedo boats from the coast of Japan
and the closing in on the battle
ships from the left broke up the Rus
sian feet, all of which, except four
battleships and the converted cruiser
Ural, had been holding together.
During the night the Japanese tor
pedo attacks continued, the result of
which was not known until the report
of the commander of the cruiser
Izumrud, which sank near Vladimir
island.
The bodies of Lieutenant Machlis of
the cruiser Almaz and other officers
and sailors brought by the Almas have
been burieu at Vladivostok.

GIRL REoAiNs HER VOICE.
"
Reproved by Father She Startiss All
fsf Dy vsrhaliy Protesting.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Jan. 1o.-Un-
able to utter j.. a syllable. even to
whisper, for. years, but all the time
with her hearing unimpaired. then In
lost power Of speech and voice as
sweet and rounded as II for half her
life 1t had not been mute-this was
the startling experience of Miss Emma
Rogers, whose home is at 701 South
Illinpis street. Indianapolis.
Dr.. Judson d. Moschelle. who is In
vesting the case, declares that 1t is a
manifestation of aphasia so rare as
to be almost unheard of.
Some time ago an attachment sprang
up between Miss Rogers and a young
man of her acquaintance. The young
man did not. however. meet with the
approval Of the girls father, sister ana
brothers. On last Christmas day the
young man called to see Miss Rogers
and the following day her father stern
|
ly reproved her. Harassed and angered
by the reproof. Miss Rogers gave way
to a burst Of vexation and became hys-
terical. Suddenly clasping her hands
about her throat the girl gasped and
exclaimed:
"Oh, II mamma were alive you would
not treat me this way
The members of her family were
dumbfounded at the words coming
from the lips that had been for so long
silent. The shock of once more hear
ing her own voice threw Miss Rogers
into violent Mysteries. She fell asleep
and when she awakened in the morning
she again tried her voice and found
that she could speak as clearly and
nuently as she had done 1$ years ago.

FALL WHEAT IS BACKWARD
MANY FooTHlLL FARMERS WILL
BE COMPELLED TO REsEED
THIS SPRING.
Lack Of Moisture Last Fall Respen.
sibIs sfor Existing Conditions
. Says Daniel Lamb.

Reports from various sections OF the
foothill district are to the. effect that
fall wheat is very backward and in
MANY instances farmers will be COM
PEELED to reseed this spring il they ex-
pect any kind OF a crop. In the Dixie
neighborhood is this especially true,
according to Daniel Lamb, a well
known Dixie farmer who is in the city
for few days. Mr.. Lamb said:
THE outlook for fall wheat in the
Dixie district is very discouraging to
say the least. SummerfalIow in many
sections is perfectly bare Of vegetation
and the only conclusion to draw is
that the seed has rotted. Lack of
moisture last fall is responsible for the
existing conditions. The only thing TO
do is to reseed this spring and trust
to there being ample rain to produce a
crop"
State Senator Reser who was in the
city Saturday stated that in his neigh
borhood fall wheat was very backward
and that in many instances the far
mers would be compelled to reseed.
The seed has not been affected by
frost but just simply failed to make
a start owing to lack of rainfall.

MAY STOP PRizEFIoHTs.
California Legislators Considering thu
Merits Of the Bill.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. i0.-Of all the
measures that have taken shape, and
of even those important ones that have
been in the air since the legislature
convened. the anti-prize fight bill. pro-
posed by Senator Ralston, is at present
engaging more attention than any,
thing outside the senatorial fight. It
has been discussed by members in
both houses. and while nothing is said
particularly of the merits Of the bill,
the general talk runs to the brutality
of the prize ring. ..
There are those among the legisla-
tors who favor the placing of some
restrictions upon the game in the state
others who would not like to abolish
any sort of legitimate sport and still
others who stand ready and willing to
give their earnest support to the bill
Of the man from Melones. @
There are only a few in the San
Francisco delegation who will commit
themselves in the matter, the majority
of them desiring to await and decide
by the decision of the committee when
it considers the bill. The feeling runs
against the possibility of fake matches.
and it is very likely that if Senator
Ralston's bill is found to be too far
reaching it will be amended SO that the
sporting public will be given some pro-
lection against fights of such a char
acter.
There are many who have no knowl-
edge of the provisions of the bill, but
among these are men who have ex-
pressed themselves as being opposed
to the manner in which fighting is con-
Quoted in California. Some favor the
limitation to amateur bouts only, and
it is in this coterie that Senator Rails
ton will find his stanchest supporters.

Interstate Commissioner Prouty Talks
Of the "1arefaesd Disregard Of
the Law.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-'Tn all my ex-
periences with railway operations I
never saw such barefaced disregard Of
the law as the Santa Fe railroad and
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company
have manifested in this coal case. For
years the. company has received less
than the published ratesxfrom the COL
orado Fuel and Iron company, while
its competitors have paid higher rates
but not always the published rates.
The evidence in this case will. be. pre-
scented by the commission to the at
torney general"
This statement by c. A. Prouty Of
the interstate commerce commission
covers the story Of an alleged deliber-
ate conspiracy between the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company and the Atch-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad to
bankrupt the Caledonian Coay COM
pany, and thereby throttle competi-
ton in the coal fields of Gallup, N
M, and in the trinidad district of Col
orado, which has been related to the
interstate commerce commission in all
it's sensational details t
The conclusion Of the story was
given before the commission when W.
B. Biddle, freight traffic manager for
the Santa Fe, took the stand and ad
mitted that for years the Colorado
Fuel Iron company had enjoyed a
rate on coal shipments which was be-
tween 81 and $1.15 per ton less than
the published tariff on file with the
commission in Washington. When
asked why this was done, the reply
was. For business reasons"
The story was developed by Attor-
ney Neill Brooks Field, brother of c.

SWEET CLOVER.

We believe that the sweet clover
which grows SO very thriftily and luxu-
rianltf aaH along the railway rights of
way through the west and which seems
perfectly at home on a sterile gravel
knoll or cinder heap or food deposit Of
sand has use not as yet given to it
in an agricultural way. From the very
manner and type of its growth under
unfavoring conditions it is very plain
that as a legume it Is a great gatherer
and storer Of nitrogen in the soil equal
If not superior to any one Of this nu-
merous family. It seems to be in no
sense an intruder or soil brigand, as
are most of our weeds, and Is very
easily confined to the odd places where
it seems Indigenous, never, so far as
we have noticed, spreading into field or
pasture. We believe that this clover
might be sown to advantage on run
down soils, the crop to be .pastured
when it is young and tender. at which
time stock will eat it, and later be al
lowed to make big growth, as it will,
and be then plowed under for fertiu-
zer, thereby greatly enriching the soil.
We would like to see an experiment
carried out with this plant on the lines
indicated.

BETTER ROADS.

Referring again to the new method
Of treating the earth roads by the use
Of the road drag, it is interesting to
note with what remarkable rapidity
the idea is spreading. Thousands Of
miles of the worst dirt roads in the
west are by this process being trans
formed into splendid highways at a
most trlfling expense. The plan is tax
ing with the farmers everywhere, and
another year will see the plan gener-
ally adopted all over the country and
contracts let each spring by the town
ship authorities to have all the roads
in each township dragged at the proper
time throughout the season. The plan
is also being taken up by many towns
for the care Of the dirt streets and with
the greatest success and satisfaction.
1t is cheap and practical solution of
one Of the most difficult problems
which face nearly all communities,
whether municipal or urban. No mat
ter what state you live in, if you have
bad earth roads it will pay to look
this plan up.

THE FARM HOME.

One Of the most delightful farm
homes and at the same time one Of
the best and most profitably conduct
ed farms Of the west is owned and per-
sonally conducted by a college grad
uate, while the owners wife has been
a club and society woman and is also
a graduate Of an eastern college. The
home is a model of culture and refine
ment, while the farm work is don't
under business system and manage
ment which would do credit to any
large manufacturing establishment.
Perhaps the curious thing in this case
is that both the husband and wife are
greatly in love with their work and
tell us that under no circumstances
would they exchange the freedom and
independence which they enjoy for
any kind Of city environment. The
most beautiful homes In old England
are found in the country, and Eng
lands best people live in them. 1t will
be that same way in this country some
day. Perhaps the greatest barrier in
the way Of country life today Is the
difficulty of obtaining reliable help,
the working classes preferring city
life even IL they cannot make as much
money.

DANGEROUS 1MPoRrAr1oNs.

All importations Of animal, bird and
Insect life are in way a violation of
natural law, for the reason that all
such forms Of life have in their native
country some agency to properly hold
them in check, and this is hardly ever
imported with them. If the conditions
are favorable to the increase of such
imported life it is easy to see that it
may soon become pest unhinGered by
its natural checks. This is very clearly
seen in the case of the importation of
the English rabbit into Australia, there
being there none of the rabbits natu-
raj enemies to be found, such as wea-
sells, stoats. hawks and foxes, and, food
being abundant and climatic condi-
tons favorable, the rabbit soon be-
came great national pest and is to-
day. In the case Of the English spar
row imported into this country the
same thing is true. In England the
common house cat is the natural enc
my of the sparrow and does more than
any other one agency to hold this pest
in check. There for hundreds of years
the cat has been acquiring the sparrow
habit and will climb trees and the cor
nices Of buildings in search of their
young while the American cat hardly
knows enough to catch one in bush or
on the lawn when it has the chance

SUCCESS WITH POTATOES.

A man in southern Minnesota wants
to know how he can raise 400 bushels
of potatoes to the acre. He says that
the average crop of his locality is
about 125 bushels per acre. He can
not do it on old and poor land He
cannot do it unless he is willing to
spray his crop and protect it from
blight and insect pests. He should
have preferably a piece Of new hazel
brush or timber land or a clover sod
turned over the previous season in
September, with the second crop turn
ed under. On this field he should put
twenty loads of we'll rotted stable ma
nure with spreader early in tue
spring, then disk both ways and Sc
cure garden-like condition of the
soil. He should plant in drills three
feet apart the one-half Of good
sized potato sixteen inches apart in
the row. The field should be dragged
every day when it is dry from the
time the potatoes are planted until the
vines are six inches high. This should
be followed by repeated cultivation,
hilling the vines slightly until the
vines are in bloom and, should the
weather be dry, with surface cultiva.
ton afterward. If he sprays at the
proper time to head of the blight and
the bugs in addition to the foregoing
he will come very near getting his 400
bushels.
