GENERAL ATTEMPTS
DARING MOVEMENT
Leaves Only a Screen OF
Treeps to Hold Lineyitch
in Check While Siberian
Stronghold Is Besieged

GUNSHU PASS. los miles north of
Tie Pass, April General Mistchenko
has moved forward into close touch
with the Japanese and keeps up. con-
slant skirmishing.
Native reports, which may be taken
for what they are worth, state that
the Japanese are leaving before the
Russian front only a screen, capable,
with the help of the Mukden and Tie
Pass fortifiications and garrisons, of
holding in check General Linevitch,
and are transferring the bulk of their
1--WE armies to Vladivostok. and, by
means of a wide movement through
Mongolia, to Tsitsihar. Considering
the great distance involved, the plan
appears too bold and almost imprac-
ticable; but the Japanese intoxicat1on
from continued success. bold initiative
and determined perseverance, must be
regarded. The situation affords an op-
poftunity for Russian cavalry, which
thus far has played an insignificant
role, to distinguish itself by ascertain
ing the japanese intention.
General Linevitch has ordered the
resumption of drills, Keeping the SOL
diers occupied in the daytime, and
there is music in the bivouacks at
night. An energetic regime is being
instituted. The soldiers are much at
tached to the new commander on ac-
count of his simple. soldierly style of
living.

Sends In His Resignation
SAYS HE REPAID COIN
George c. Holden Admits He
Accepted Money From a
Company in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, April 2.-George G.
Holden, the inspector in the United
States postal service attached to the
Philadelphia division, who admitted
yesterday that the Storey Cotton Com
pany, most of whose officers are fugi-
,tiveS from justice, advanced $1100 to
him as loan for a few days, has sent
his resignation to Washington. Holden
declares that he received the money
and paid it back few days later, with
out any understanding or agreement
with the Storey Cotton Company that
he was to protect the concern against
investigation by the Postoffice Depart
ment. He admitted, however, that in
accepting the loan he was indiscreet,
and he thought it best, in view of the
revelations in the case, to send his res
isnation to the, postal authorities at
Washington.
The discovery that Holden had re-
ceived a loan from the company was
made by United States attorneys while
making an examination of the books OF
the defunct concern The matter was

vestigation of Holden's dealings with
the Story Cotton Company.
In statement made by Holden he
says the loan was paid back within a
few days and he was surprised to learn
that it had been entered on the books
of the company, because ii was per
sonal loan from f. Ewart Storey. He
believes. he said, that the loan was
placed on the books to do him injury.
Since the loan was made, he says, he
has sent three separate reports to
washington recommending that fraud
orders be issued against the Storey
concern
Holden tonight in an interview said
he had been sent to the offices OF the
Storey Cotton Company to make an
investigation as the result of COM
plant While there he met Storey.
Holden was about to leave the office
wren. in conSersd> IL with Stor@y, be
incidentally mentioned that he had to
go out and raise some money quickly
to tide himself over in a stock trans
action Storey insisted. he said. in
helping him out, and Holden finally ac-
cepted a draft. Holden says he realized
a few minutes later that he had acted
indiscreetly and made every effort to
pay the loan back as quickly as pos
sible This he did in a few days.
Holden declares that Harrison j.
Barrett. formerly of the Department of
Justice, Washington. and nephew of
the late Jamas Tyner. who was in
volved in the postoffice scandals. was
the attorney for the Storey Cotton
Company while he was actually con-
nected with the Department of Justice.

What is the real charge against the
prisoners, in plain words?" Garvan was
asked.

threats against life," he replied.
The attorney would not say against
whom these threats were made. but un-
questionably Caesar Young was the
person from whom the alleged extor-

CALL BURAD POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Senator Ell
kins, chairman Of the Committee on
Interstate Commerce. has sent invita-
tions to all the prominent railroad
presidents in the country to give testi-
mOny on the rate question before this

lngs on April IL.
Every one Of these presidents, who
viii appear. viii tell the committee
that any proposition. which looks TO
Government supervision of railroad
rates is dangerous to the business in
terests Of the country. and all viii op-
pose the Esch-Townsend bill or any
other measure with the same object in
view. Elkins has sent for the rail-
road presidents. because when Con-
gress adjourned he said that only one
side had been heard and that was the
side represented by f. p. Bacon. the
attorney for the Shippers Association.
Nearly all the testimony before the
Senate committee at the last session
was in favor of Government super
vision Of rates. and one of the argU-
ments for postpOnement by Senators
Elkins and Kean was that such impor-
tant legislation should not be framed
Snd passed on the testimony of one
side alone.
The coming hearings will be held
ia Washington until the hot weather
sets in, when the committee will go to
various important railroad centers
and shipping points. 1t is probable
the hearings viii be continued with
only short Interruptions up to the
opening Of Congress in October.
