Japs Capture Da Pass

BY Associated Press
HEADQUARTERS RUSSIAN ARMY
HUAN MOUNTAIN, Manchuria, Feb.
2S--The Japanese attack was renewed
at dawn yesterday along the whole
eastern front and Da pass was taken
after fighting of the most stubborn
character. An engagement simultan-
eously was in progress on the front ex-
tending almost twenty miles from the
extreme left, eastward of Kandolesan,
where the Japanese opened a heavy ar
tillery fire, to the district of Lao Lin
zan where the Japanese advanced In
great force, meeting with stubborn re-
sistance.
The capture of Da pass opens the
road to Fushun east of Mukden and
Tie pass, but the Russians are gather
ing a strong force to meet the threat
ened attack on their line of communi-
cations. The Japanese attack was sup
ported by a strong park of artillery, a
reserve of seven batteries being dis
covered east of Kandoesan which is
yet silent.
The Japanese army now holds a line
from Syahobe, opposite Dzhantan
through shahopao along the Shakhe
river to Vankpudsi and thence to Da
pass and Toumadzi, southeastward
The Japanese have effected a cross
ing of the Shakhe at Vankpudzi and
attacked the Russian center under
cover of darkness February 26, driving
back the Russian advance posts, but
supports came up and stopped the jap
anese advance The officer in COM
mand of the japanese heard the Rus
slams cry out that their cartridges were
exhausted, and they thereupon ad-
vanced incautiously and received a
volley at point blank range, losing
heavily.

GROUND TO DEATH
BY EXPRESS CAR
continued from Pare oneO


eording to the landlady, Mrs. II. c.
Bowers, the girl said she could blame
no one for the affair. The car was
travelling so fast that IL was impossi-
BILE to stop It in time to save Mrs. De
La Monte's life.
There was considerable comment
relative to the speed at which cars are
operated on the Hill street line among
those residing in the neighborhood Of
the accident. One man declared that
cars are sometimes run beyond the
forty-mile an hour mark.
City Attorneys Opinion
City Attorney Mathews said yester-
day in reference to the accident:
This Office has always held and now
holds that no street car company has
any right to run freight cars over the
streets of Los Angeles. The single
exception that can be noted Is the
pur-railroad- privilege granted a
few days ago to the Pacific Electric to
run its cars into the Huntington build
ing.
TT has always been the theory Of our
office that these cars are illegally run,
violating the franchises under which
street railway companies are permitted
to do a passenger business only. We
hold that there is nothing in their
franchise that give them any freight
privileges"

BY Associated Press
TOXIC, Feb. 2S.--Oficial reports OF
the battle of Tsinkhetchen Indicate that
severe fighting occurred. The
Japanese attacking force began the
occupation of points on the left bank
of the Taitse river February 10, but
the topography of the country. the
hills, the river and the heavy snow, de-
layed the attack. The first line at
tackled Tsinkhetchen at noon February
%, assaulting flercely. The Russians
held strongly fortified positions with
distractions protecting them, and re-
sisted stubbornly. The fighting con-
tinued February 20, and was resumed
at dawn February "a. At 10 in the
morning the two lines closed and at
tackers and defenders exchanged hand
grenades. While continuing their
frontal attack the Japanese executed a
flank attack, with the result that the
Russians abandoned and burned tho
town and fled northward in confusion.
The Russians left 15O dead on the field.
The Chinese estimate the Russian
loss at Tsinkhetchen at 1000. The jar
anese captured three machine guns,
many rifles, quantity of ammunition,
number of maps and twenty-four
prisoners. The reports say that none
of the Japanese suffered from frost
bites in spite of the intense cold.

STRUCK BY CAR; RIBS BROKEN
Chop House EmpIoye Severely ln-
iured-May Die

William Foley, an aged dishwasher,
employed in Second street chop
house, was struck and painfully, per-
haps fatally, injured by a Vernon car
at the corner of Second and Los Ange-
les street about $3.50 o'clock last night.
Foley was crossing the street on the
way to his lodgings and did not see
the car, which was going east on Sec
ond street at rapid rate. The man
was directly in the middle of the track
when the car struck him and the force
of the impact hurled him distance
of ten feet, but clear of the car wheels.
An examination at the receiving hos
pital by Drs. Quint and Bonynge dis
closed the fact that four of the ribs on
the left side Of Foleys body were dis
located. The cuts in his head and arm
We're stitched and the fractured ribs
were set in place again, after which an
opiate was administered and he was
put to bed.
Owing to the age of the injured man,
who is 65 years old, but little hope is
entertained of complete recovery.

IMPoTENcY OF POLICE
Terrorists PIacard st. Petersburg
a. Public Buildings With Notices

BY Associated Press BY ~
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 2S.-The
utter impotency of the police in the
face of terrorist organization is shown
by the increasing boldness of the latter
all over st. Petersburg. Even on the
side of the public buildings simple
notices of Grand Duke Sergius death
were found They read:
THE sentence Of death passed upon
Sergius Alexandrovitch was executed
February II.
(Signed) "The Fighting Organization
of the Social Democrat Party"
Moreover, the notices were neatly
printed thing unknown in the days
Of the late Interior Minister Won
Plehve, when similar notices were al
ways run off on copying machines. The
secret police then were too close on
the heels of the terrorists to permit the
use of a printing press.
The Grand Duchess Marie Pavlovna.
whose husband, the Grand Duke Vlad-
demned to death, Is trying to shield
his life with her own. Since Red
Sunday" the grand duke has not only
been showered with threats and warn
ings, but has twice received from
abroad fomal letters signed by differ
cnt groups informing him of his SELL
tence to death and of the assignment
OF men to execute 1t. At the same time
the Grand Duchess Marie, like the
Grand Duchess Elizabeth In the case of
Grand Duke Sergius was notified that
her life and her sons life would be
spared. and she was appealed to not to

Vladimir Aging Greatly
The letters naturally terrorized the
family and household of the grand
duke, who has aged greatly during the
last few weeks under the strain of
what he insists is the unjust criticism
which placed the responsibility for the
bloodshed of January 22 wholly on his
shoulders. Although the grand dukes
health had been failing for over year,
he is now almost a complete wreck.
For a time the entreaties of his fam

VERY FEW PEOPLE
Are Free From Some Form Of
Indigestion

Very few people are free from some
form of Indigestion. but scarcely two
will have the same symptoms.
Some suffer most directly after eat
ing, bloating from gas in stomach and
bowels, others have heartburn or sour
risings, still others have palpitation of
heart, headaches, sleeplessness, pains
in chest and under shoulder blades,
some have extreme nervousness, as in
nervous dyspepsia.
But Whatever the symptoms may be,
the cause in all cases of indigestion is
the same; that is, the stomach for
some reason fails to properly and
promptly digest what is eaten.
This is the whole story of stomach
troubles in a nutshell. The stomach
must have rest and assistance and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give 1t both
by supplying those natural digestives
which every weak stomach lacks,
owing to the failure of the peptic
glands in the stomach TO secrete suf-
fcient acid and pepsin to thoroughly
digest and assimilate the food eaten.
One grain of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat. eggs or other
wholesome food, and this claim has
been proven by actual experiment,
which any one can perform for him
self in the following manner: Cut a
hard boiled egg into very small pieces,
as ii would be if masticatedi place the
egg and two or three of the tablets in
a bottle or jar containing warm water
heated to 9S degrees (the temperature
of the body and keep it at this tenn
= perature for three and one-half hours.
at the end of which time the egg will
be as completely digested as 1t would
have been In the healthy stomach of
a hungry boy.
The point OF this experiment Is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
do to the egg in the bottle they will
do to the egg or meat in the stomach,
and nothing else will rest and invigo-
rate the stomach so safely and effectu-
ally, Even a little child can take
Stuart's Tablets with safety and ben
eft IL it's digestion is weak, and the
thousands OF cures accomplished by
their regular daily use are easily ex-
planned when 1t is understood that
they are composed of vegetable es-
sences aseptic, pepsin, diastase and
Golden Seal which mingle with the
food and digest ii thoroughly giving
the 'oyerworked stomach chance to
recuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia; nei-
ther do pills and cathartic medicines,
which simply irritate and inhame the
intestines.
When enough food is eaten and
promptly digested there will be no
constipation, nor in fact will there be
disease of any kind, because good di-
gestion means good health In every
organ.
The merit and success OF Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are worldwide and
they are sold at the moderate price Of
so cents for full sized package In ev-
cry drug store IN the United States aud
Canada, as well as in Europe,

noon the upper house refused to adopt
the report Of the special committee ap-
pointed to investigate the financial
system at the state DIVERSITY and Incl
dentally to look into the defalcation
OF former Secretary McKowen. Before
considering the report in it's entirety
the senate struck out the recommenda-
tinn to hold the regents responsible for
the theft Of 51,47s.7O by McKeowen.
Senator Ralston's anti-prize fight
bill was defeated in the senate by a
vote of IS to 10. The debate was linz
tied to three minutes for each MEM
ber after a protest from Shortrldge
against gag law.
Shortridge said the bill was pernic-
ious inasmuch as it limited the per-
sonal liberty of the citizens. He said
further that the representative citizens
of San Francisco could be found at the
ringside at the Corbett-N Nelson contest.
Senator Hahn's bill providing for
the establishment of a highway from
San Francisco to San Diego passed the
senate. The bill carries an appropria-
tion of $4,000.

MANY CHANGES BELIEVED TO
BE IMPENDING
Coming Anniversary Of the Emanel-
patton Of the serfs Looked
to With General
Expectancy

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, March Next
Saturday being the anniversary of the
emancipation Of the serfs rumors have
been in circulation that the day has
been selected for notable events of
divers natures. According to some of
these rumors, the workmen are plan
ming an immense revolutionary demon
stratlon, while according to other re-
ports the government intends to COM
memorate the anniversary by issuing
a manifesto establishing some form Of
representative legislative body. 1t was
stated positively, however. that there
is no intention on the part of the gov
ernment to signalize the anniversary
by any special manifesto
On the other hand, 1t seems certain
that the recently revived council of
ministers at It's weekly sessions is con-
sidering the all-important question of
reform and evolving governmental al
terations of a momentous character
but what form these changes are to
take it is impossible to ascertain with
positiveness. Presumably the council
is discussing means of bringing the
government and people in closer touch.
According to current reports the de-
cision has been reached that a zemsky
tabor would be an unsatisfactory agent
for doing this, and that the ministers
are now considering other measures
looking to the same end. A definite
announcement as to their decision or
the nature of the proposed reforms is
not expected for some time.

Sentence Temporarily Suspended
Today Grand Duke Vladimir received
a letter from one group, which had
previously warned him, saying his SEN
tence was temporarily suspended. and
the is attributed either to more COR
rect appraisement of his share in the
events of January 22 or to a general
decision of the terrorists to give the
autocracy a breathing spell, and await
the result of the assassination OF
Grand Duke Sergius.
The latter comedies with the views

REPLY TO DIR. REED.
The Panaman Commission RefuteS
Charges of Encouragement.

washington, March 19.-The Panaman Canal
Commission has prepared and flied with the
Secretary OF War reply TO criticisms made on
its conduct of affairs in the Isthmus of Panama
by DR.. C. A. L. Reed. The charges are con-
sidered in detail.
Taking UP DR.. Reeds criticism of the organ
ization Of the Health Department the commits
sion says that ''Dr. Reeds assertion that much
Of the report on a plan of organization was
formulated over the respectful protest of the
medical men is without any foundation what
ever"
The commissioners fatty contradict DR.. Reeds
statements that authority TO purchase an x-ray
outfit fl Washington was denied. This state
rnent," they say. evidences either woful igno-
rance or wilful misstatement of fact"
The salaries Of medical officials on the isthmus
are quoted to refute the charge that the COM
mission wants cheap doctors there. In this
connection they quote DR.. Reeds statement
that only $50 month is paid for internes, and
gay:
The fact IS that graduates from medical col
lsges without experience are useful as in
ternes in the hospital organization on the 18TH
mus as they are in hospital organization in the
United States.
Exception IS taken to DR.. Reeds structures on
the salaries paid TO clerks. The commissioners
say that their system contemplates advance
Of about % per cent on salaries paid In the
United States and that the plan has been very
carefully worked out
In refutation Of the charge made by DR.. Reed
that the commission is responsible for the pres
ence Of yellow fever on the isthmus a letter
from the commission, OF February l. to Chief
Sanitary Officer Gorgas is quoted. In that letter
the opinion is expressed that the appearance of
fever is not traceable TO delay in the importa-
tion Of medical supplies.
The commissioners also say:
Every reasonable step is being taken and viii
be taken TO reduce malaria To this end an
efficient sanitary corps for the canal zone has
; been organized and a vast amount Of good work
has been accomplished. Any one who knew the
isthmus before May 4, 1904. and who visits it
now, testify TO the changed conditions.
On the general question Of sanitation the COM
mission says:
The commission understands the immense i'm
portance Of the sanitation of the isthmus as
factor in the building OF the canal. 1t is certain
that the chiefs of the sanitary department are
aware of the grave responsibility resting upon
them. If the statements of DR.. Reed were true,
are intended 10 convey of sanitary conditions on
the isthmus they would convict the sanitary
staff of a gross abandonment Of duty in failure
70 inform the commission thereof. Neither
from official conferences nor from correspond
ence. from interviews with members Of the
staff has il been learned that the plan is de-
fective in scope or elasticity or that troubles
have occurred except such as inevitably attend
the organization Of great enterprises
