NO CERTIFICATE OF MEETING
SENT TO PRESIDENT OF
THE SENATE.
Returns on Election Should Have Been
in Washington First Wednesday
in January.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-Thirteen
states including Minnesota, North Da-
kota, wisconsin and Washington have
violated the federal statute which re-
quires that there shall be in the hands
of the president of the senate, not later
than the first Wednesday in January,
following presidential election, Ger
tificate from the electors in each
state, setting forth the results of the
done by them, in pursuance of law, at
a meeting they are required to hold
in December to arrange preliminaries
for the final count of the electoral vote
If such a meeting of the Minnesota
electors was held last month, no word
of it has reached Washington, and it
is certain that no report Of that meet
ing has yet been received by Senator
Frye of Maine, although the law says
it should have been here two days ago.
The federal authorities will wait a
little while, and then, If the delinquent
states are still delinquent, steps will
be taken to have the electors famil-
iarize themselves with the law.
A heavy penalty is prescribed for
violating the statute, but in all prob
ability it will not be enforced in the
cases under discussion, as the viola
ton has undoubtedly been the result
Of ignorance.
The electoral vote will be officially
canvassed by the two houses of con-
gress in the hall Of the house, Feb. 8.

No Relation to Boston Man.
The elder Lawson, who was no re-
lation of the Boston family, was well
known to shipping men, as he supplied
ships with bagging. He was born in
Scotland sixty-seven years ago, and
came to America when thirty-four
years old. Last October his family
doctor urged him to retire from bust
ness, as a complication of diseases
threatened his life. He refused to do
so, and worked up to the day of his
death. He lived with his son James
at No 343 Hoyt Street, Brooklyn. The
night of December 20. he retired to
bed feeling weak. The next morn
ing his son and his little grandson,
Arthur, entered his room to call him.
The child ran to his bed, crying, Good

SOME INTERESTING SiDELlGHTS
THROWN ON GREAT CONFLICT
IN THE FAR EAST.
Russian Lieutenant Writes of His Per-
sonaI Observations During War
Has Praise for Chinese.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 12.-Many
interesting sidelights are thrown on
the great conflict in the far east by
the letters received here by relatives
and friends of the Russian officers at
the front One of these letters recently
made public is from Russian lieu
tenant, who writes as follows:
The Chinaman, they say, is big
coward. but that must be after he is
grown up. The Chinese child of under
twelve is a hero, and no mistake. At
the Sha-ho fight l saw the funniest
thing imaginable. Not hundred
yards from the left of our trench sat
perched on a stunted tree three Chi
the slaughter. The bullets and shells
whistled around, but they gaped open
mouthed as if at a play, and sat firm.
Our captain told them to run, but
they didn't seem to understand. Some
of the outfanking Japs got right I'M
derneath the tree, and our machine
guns moved them down. The Chinese
puppies looked down and grinned and
one pulled off a twig and tried to drop
it into dead Jap's mouth.
What happened to them l don't
know, as we retired a moment later.
But farther on along the road We came
upon whole crowd of children smil-
past One of them had an artillerists
cap on his little head. l suppose the
heathens have no souls and don't feel
things. Or perhaps they didn't I'M
