THREE CHINESE WOMEN LAND
THROUGH MISREPRESENTATIO
CelestiaIs Claim Them as Wives, but 1t
Is Later Shown That Evidence
Was False.

Three Chinese women who arrived on
the Siberia were allowed a landing last
Monday on the representation of three
Chinese, claiming nativity here. that
they were the husbands of the women.
1t transpired. however, that the
women were brought to the United
States for immoral purposes. One of
them got into communication with the
Methodist Chinese Mission on Wash
ington street and was rescued. This
woman made a confession to the effect
that she was not married to the Celes-
tiaI who claimed her and was at once
given the protection and care of the
mission.
The Chinese bureau, learning of the
deceit which had been cleverly prac
ticed, put its machinery to work in
the hope of capturing the two remain
ing women, but in spite of the search
their whereabouts had not been found
out yesterday.
At the mission it was stated that
Mrs. Davis, the superintendent, was out
of town and would not return until to-
morrow, and that in the meantime no
information was to be given out.

FINSEN PROVES LIGHT Is
FATAL TO DISEASE GERMS
College Professor Tells I'm Medical
journal About Scientific

1t may be laid down as a rule, with
few exceptions, that medical discussions
have little interest for the lay reader;
but a paper on the "Finsen Light" in
the Pacific Medical Journal for August
by Dr. +. c. Keck, professor of electro
therapeutics in the College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons, is worthy of COM
ment.
While in Europe recently Dr. Keck
made study of Finsen's discoveries.
and brought back with him a Finsen
ray machine. Although little attention
has been paid to it in America, in Eu-
rope the Finsen light has cured thou
sands of persons of skin diseases. DR..
Finsen believed that the concentrated
rays of sunlight, robbed of the heat
rays and leaving only the violet. and
ultra violet rays, would kill disease
germs He proved that his theory was
correct. In 1903 he already had rec
ord of having cured 500 cases of lupus
besides many less virulent skin dis
eases
It is no longer necessary for persons
to suffer from skin diseases since Dr.
Finsen's invaluable gift to humanity
cures them. and even removes birth
marks

JOSIE MILLER
GIVEN LIBERTY
Discounted PawnbrOkers to
Cause Her Rearrest, but
Conviction Is Not Certain
FOUND MANY VICTIMS
Bogus Jewelry Is Clever I'M
itation and Satisfied the
Tests Made by Dealers

Josie Miller who, with an accom-
plice, Hooded the town with spurious
leweIry, was released from custody last
night, but it is likely that she will be
arrested again this morning on COM
paint of several of the pawnbrokers
VINO fell the victims of her wares. De-
tective Tom Ryan, who has mad charge
of the case, notined the dealers that
they must make complaint against the
woman, otherwise she would be granted
her liberty None of them appeared at
the appointed hour and the prison doors
were thrown open to the prisoner, who
hastily left the Hall OF Justice.
Soon after the woman's release from
police custody two of the disgruntled
victims rushed to the hall, but Detec-
tive Ryan had left for his home and
they were told to get Il warrant for the
woman's arrest to-day. This they prom
ised to do. and despite the fact that
they were told d charge would hardly
be sustained before any court they were
willing to take a chance on the prose-
cution.
1t is the opinion of the police that
Miss Miller committed no crime. She
merely worked a game which some
pawnbrokers often work on the unsus-
pecting public, and offered the same eX-
cuSe for her conduct as they do when
their victims assert they did not receive
their moneys worth. She requested the
loan of money on her wares, and the
brokers. believing them to be gold in
stead of lead and heavy plating, paid
the amount asked. According to their
statements, the woman did not repre-
sent the articles 10 be gold, but allowed
them to judge for themselves according
to weight, tests and appearance. The
pawnbrokers, scenting a bargain, de-
livered up the loan.
Miss Miller told the detectives that
she originally owned forty-seven arti-
cles of jewelry of this character. She
has disposed of thirty-eight of them
throughout the city, and, until she ran
amuck of Rosenburg and his file, she
met with success. She says the chains
cost her about S11 apiece and that she
only doubled their cost price when she
disposed of them. The jewelry is very.
good imitation.

Judge Conlan, whose pronouncement was

P. Previau informed the court that he

than life itself, not only because of its
silvery tone, but also on account of his
long possession of it. He might have
forgiven Signor Mifret's purloining of it
If the motive had been other than mer-
cenary, for he (Signor PreviatD could
hardly resist stealing the superb instru-

is the violin, and as he pawned the
splendid cornet for a sickeningly small
sum- Sgnor Previati could not condone
the larceny.
Signor Mifret will be sentenced this
morning.

 BY JAPANESE WHO
 MAKE GOOD DEFENSE

St. Petersburg, Jan. 30-Gen. Kuro- patkin's attempt to break through the Japanese left wing and outflank Field Marshal Oyama's position on the Shakhe river seems to have failed entirely. Few details, however, are available beyond the information con tained in official dispatches.
 Fleid Marshal Oyama, as at the bat tie of Shakhe River. appears to have arrested the Russian advance with a counter offensive movement, but no disposition was shown to carry war fare into territory held by the Rus sians.
 Preparation was entrusted to the Second Army, under Gen. Grippen- berg. and was to be the capture of Sandepas, which, once in Russian hands, would serve as a pivot for the l flankiRg movement against FielC

 The rioters avoid open conflict, but seize every opportunity to wreak sly vengeance on the troops. Many people are afraid to venture into the streets. but young women of the low CT and middle classes court danger in the worst disturbances, merely for the love of excitement.

Great Mandarin road.

Great Mandarin road.
 The Russians appear to have been completely successful on the defens- i've, repulsing all Japanese attacks. Under the circumstances Gen. Grip penberg decided not to press attempts to storm Sandepas, which is situated in a flat country. and therefore more difficult to take by assault than pO- sition in hilly country,
 Owing to the flat territory and enormous penetration of modern pro jectiles. the capture of the outer line of trenches on Thursday entailed heavy casualties. There is no off cial estimate of the losses, but it is expected some thousands on both sides were killed or wounded.
 News of this defeat, coming at this time, is especially hard for the gov ernment. The popular idea contin- ues to be that the advance was under taken in order to divert the attention of the people from events in European Russia.
 Lieut.. Gen. Grippenberg. command CT of the Second Army, has telegraph ed Emperor Nicholas that the Rus siaEs have occupied Santatiz. He also reports that Generals MIstchen ko and Kondratsvitch are wounded. The war offic gives no estimate of Russian losses, but they are believed to be heavy.
