CURED during the recent raid on Yin
kow and the Japanese communications
south of Liaoyang. A Japanese infan-
try company under Captain Yasuhara
was surrounded by about 5000 Cos
sacks at commissary depot. The Jap
anese were greatly outnumbered, but
they kept the enemy at bay for over
seven hours. The building in which
they were making stand caught fire.
Captain Yasuhara. who was wounded,
ordered as many men as were able to
retreat. He and several others then
committed harikari and threw them
selves into the flames. A surgeon
named Nambim was wounded. In
spite of the fact that a Red Cross band
was attached to his arm the Russians
arrested the surgeon and threw him

usually large margin between the price

ing price of refined oil and its by

tions have resulted in whole or in part
from any contract, combination in the
form of a trust or otherwise or con-
spiracy in restraint of trade and COM
merce among the several states and
territories or with foreign countries.
ALSO to see whether the said prices

joint stock company or corporate COM
bination in purchasing crude oil or pc

LOUIS MANN
Who Is to Be At the Opera House Friday
Evening, Feb "a.


Boston, Feb I6 This is the last
week of the engagement of Louis Mann
at the Park, and large audience was
there last evening to see him play ''The
Second f iddle," that is to say the
drama of that name. In this. work Mr.
Mann has his audience laughing with
him in the most uproarious fashion,
and the next instant the heart is touch
ed and the great throng Is quiet in
sympathetic interest
''The Second Fiddle" is a work that
combines good, wholesome. fun and
tense sympathy, and thus Mr. Mann
has an abundant opportunity to show
his vers ability in a two-fold fashion,
as laughmaker and as an artist of
pathos.
The play is especially interesting,
for it is laid in the musical circles of
Paris, and prima donnas, composers
musicians and the like elbow one
another and form an atmosphere that
the playgoing public has been unac-
quainted with up to this time. The
types are all interesting, but the best
of them all is the young Viennese
musician so superably played by Mr.
Mann, who has been deceived and had
his opera stolen from him, but who
comes out all right in the end.
The second scene OF the play is laid
behind the scenes of one of the theatres
of Paris and it is here that some OF
the greatest realism of the play is
provided. One gets a capital idea of
the way that theatrical affairs are car
ried on there.
The whole play is fascinating and de-
serves the prosperity which 1t has re-
ceived here in Boston. tits we'll acted
through out Boston Globe.
