ODDS FAVOR KAUFMAN
Betting 10 to ? That He Whips
Jack O'Brien Tonight

San Francisco. Cal, Oct. 27-At the
abnormal odds Of 60 to ,. in favor Of
Kaufman, there is no O'Brien money
in sight. This fact is causing consid-
cradle comment and the sports are
wondering If there is not something do
ing. There are rumors about OBrien's
condition, and also much talk of ter
rife punch Kaufman is reserving for
the real estate dealer and travelling pu-
gilist from Philadelphia. Reports from
both camps say the men are in fine con-
dition. but the betting proposition here
is hard to understand.

TRAIL OF TRAGEDY
FOLLOWS TRIAL
Four Violent Deaths Traced to
Influence of Mabel Scofeld
Murder Case.
Special to Tho journal.

Des Moines, Iowa, March IA trail
of tragedy has followed the conviction
of Charles Thomas for the murder of
Mabel Scofeld in Des Moines five years
ago. -Four deaths are directly charge

the reports Of the trial. Two suicides
which have been directly the result of
the Mabel Scofeld mystery are espe-
cially sad, because neither of the vic
Tins had shown any evidence of un
balanced minds until they became con-
cerned in the proceedings Of the trial.
John Huffmaster, wealthy farmer
residing near Ames, was the first vic
tim Of the Scofeld sensation. AS soon
as the trial started he began reading
the newspaper accounts aloud to his
family. 1t was his stern belief that
his daughters and sons would profit by
pure lives when they went to the city.

The relatives say that Walters haC

ONLY HOPE IS RETREAT
Russians at Home No Longer Look for
Victory.

V1CLOEy.
st. Petersburg, March ALI hope
that General Kuropatkin will be able to
turn defeat into victory is rapidly van
ishing.
The position Of the Russian army has
been growing increasingly desperate
during the last twenty four hours.
The gravest danger is from the Jap
anese left, which has been pushed north
ward on the Sin-min tin road to point
eight miles northwest Of Mukden, where
it has Joined thanking column from
the west around the village Of Ta-tche-
kiao.
The battle ragged with terrible bit

reserves hurried to the scene to block
the stroke at the Russian line Of COM
munioations.
General Baron Kaulbars, who is de-
Tending the right wing, is only able to
hold his own.
Counter Stroke Abandoned.
On account of the desperate situation
there, General Kuropatkin has not at
tempted to drive home his counterstroke
at the Japanese center and his offensive,
which was abortive, has been aban-
doned.
At the same time, encouraged by the
progress of the main turning movement
on the west, General Kuroki again
pressed forward from the east yester-
day against General Linevitch, forcing
the Russians to give ground.
Order to Retreat Too Lats.
II is rumored that Kuropatkin has al
ready given the order to retreat, and
that he is gradually withdrawing
forces from the center, but experts are
inclined to believe that he has waited
too long, that he must fight it out in
his present position, and that it is i'm.
possible to extricate more than the rem
nants Of his army.
At the war office it is said that the
Japanese siege guns from Port Arthur
with range of eight miles, are caus
ing terrible punishment. Nothing car
stand against them.
The only news Of today received al
the war office up to noon today is that
the battle was resumed at daylight thi:
morning at Ta-tche-kiao.

STRIKE AFFECTS

Subway and Elevated Roads Tied

Troubles.

New York, March THE 5000 or
more employees Of the Interborough
Rapid Transit company, controlling the
subway and the Manhattan Elevated

labor disturbance affecting practically
every citizen and extending in it's effects
to the, remotest section Of the five
boroughs.
The organization of the men was per-
feet and for the first few hours after the
word had been passed practically not
a wheel turned on the great system.
and But the ogg to- Tas RsspaRfsa
who had been held in the harbor for
several days, were rushed to the lines.
By the time the first ripples Of the
human flood which daily pours down the
length Of Manhattan island had started,
an irregular service was in operation in
the subway. 1t was bettered little by
little as the morning wore on, until by
the great rush hour the number of
trains in operation had been increased
sufficiently to care for portion Of the

measure helped to relieve the enormous
tax on the surface lines. Apparently
the company greatest effort was d.
rected toward maintaining the subway.
The elevated lines were to certain
extent left to, shift for themselves ana and
was 50 insufficient and so irregular that
it hardly deserved notice: :,
Up to noon no serious disturbance mad
occurred. One or two minor c0!llslons
between strikers and strike breakers,
few demonstrations in stations, and an
occasional personal alteration between
the old employees and the new men, was
the sum total Of disorder.
Each train in the underground car
ried three, and sometimes four, men in
the motormen s box, and on the rear
platform of each was policeman. In
every station a pair of uniformed men
patrolled the platform, while at the big
express stations small squads of police
were stationed. Plain-clothes men, too,
were distributed about the system at
what the authorities considered as dan
ger points.
New Men Won Away.
In this respect the strike is almost
unique The strikers are apparently re-
lying on persuasion, and have won over
a large number of the new men. The
. physical conditions of the subway, how
!, ever, are such as to make this slow
work. Access can only be obtained tC
the non-union men, at the station az
their trains draw in for their brie1
stop, and the strikers can only work
