Streets Filled with Dead.
Diushantun was the scene Wednes-
day OF the bloodiest and most desperate
fighting of all this terrible battle. It's
possession was vital to the Japanese,
who stormed it again and again. The
Russians dislodged them, but the Jap
anese finally recaptured the village
after much hand-to-hand fighting. Eye
witnesses say the dead, scattered in the
streets, courtyards and houses, have
been unburied four days. Rifles and
other arms lie about Wrenched and
twisted. Hand grenades were thrown by
the Japanese and the garrison was sub
jected to the concentrated fire of as many
as a hundred guns.
Worst Fears Confirmed.
st. Petersburg, March H.. - The dis
patches from Toxic and Yinkow Friday
announcing that Mukden had fallen and
that the Japanese had captured thou
sands of prisoners and enormous guam
titles OF stores and guns only confirm
the worst fears entertained here, the
dispatches received here on Thurs
day night having shown that the
trap was sprung. The announce
ment furnished miserable end
to the Russian carnival week. This be-
ing holiday, the war Office was closed
to the public, hundreds of people in
quest OF news besieging the doors III

Of1lcers stood around discussing the ca

hope. An officer who was asked by Il
correspondent for his opinion of the re-
pa sA"I tAC lAdJO4 pOIllOu Ol tuc ar
mics of Gems. Bilderling and Kaulbars
were cut off said he thought that, con-
sidering the situation, anything was
possible. 1t was his idea that Kuropat-
kin may have deliberately sacrificed
100000 men by hurting two or three
corps at the Japanese in order to bring
off the bulk of his shattered army.
Declare Retreat Was Planned.
Paris, March 10. - The Russian en-
bassy officials explain Gen. Kuropat-
kin's retreat as being part of settled
plan. They say the real struggle will
occur at Hardin, where the Russians
will concentrate large reinforcements.
The Japanese occupation of Mukden is
generally considered here as definitely
showing that the Japanese have won u
victory and that Gen. Kuropatkin's re-
verse may soon reach the magnitude of
disaster. The French military critics
say the Japanese capture of Theta prac-
tically cuts off Kuropatkin from re-
treating northward. They also attach
much moral Importance to the capture
of Mukden, the capital of Manchuria

All Sante Fe Trains Held at Albu.

Albuquerque, NJ NJ. March 11.-Au
Santa Fe trains for the west are held
at this point indefinitely. Heavy rains
to the west and south have swollen all
streams along the Santa Fe-Pacific and
the Rio Grande divisions OF the Santa
Fe, and the line is badly crippled.
The big blue water dam on the Rio
San Jose and the Cubero dam on the
same stream have gone out and the
floods have played havoc with the Santa
Fe tracks which cloesly parallel that
stream for nearly two miles. The huge
steel bridge at Rio Puerco station,
where the railroad crosses the Rio
Puerco, buttressed with immense stone
walls and piers at enormous cost
year ago, is SO badly damaged that it is
impossible to get trains across it. and
it is feared the bridge may be swept en-
tirely away. The track along the Rio
Grande near La Joya. south of this city,
near the confluence of the Rio Puerco
with the Rio Grande, is badly damaged
large stretches being completely washed
away. The company has ordered sew
eral carloads of sacks of sand to this
point to prevent more serious damage.
Five hundred Indians and Mexicans are
at work at Rio Puerco to save the bridge
and get the track open for business.

Licking having 24-foot rise Friday.
Over 100000 logs have passed into the

court DISM|SSES
TWO MINOR COUNTS
JUDGE TAYLER HOLDS THESE
CHARGES AGAINST MRS. CHAD
WICK NOT ESSENTIAL.
COUNSEL BEGIN THEIR
ARGUMENTS BEFORE JURY
Case Will Probably Be Given Into
Hands of the Twelve Men Satur-
day-Government Attorney Makes
Opening Speech.

NAcRcldAu; ~. MARCH 4l.-JEQSe Iay-
Ter Friday freed Mrs. Chadwick on two
Of the 16 counts in the Indictment.
These two counts were based on check
that was made payable not at the time
it was drawn, but on a date in the .fu-
ture. The defense claimed this and the
judge agreed with them that because it
was made payable in the future the So
called check was no check at all. So
he threw it out. There still remained
on the indictment ii counts based on
seven checks.
Almost Ready for Jury.
The Chadwick case will be given to
the jury at some time on Saturday. It
has not been the custom of the federal
court to hold regular sessions on Sat-
urday, but Judge Tayler said Friday
afternoon that if the case was not fin
ished Friday he would hold court
for it on Saturday.
When court opened Friday morning
Judge Tayler asked the counsel on. both
sides to indicate the length of time they
would require for their arguments. He
had no desire, he said to limit the argu-
ments in any way, but wished the attor-
neys to reach an agreement of some
kind.
After conference between District
Attorney Sullivan and Attorney J. P.
Dawley, for the defense, it was agreed
that the arguments should be practical
ly unlimited. Neither MIR. Sullivan nor
Mr.. Dawley was able to say just how
much time would be required, but both
were of the opinion that all the argyll
ments would consume more than the
two sessions of Friday.
Opening Argument.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas
H. Garry made the opening argument
for the government. He confined him.
self chiefly to the law of the case, claim
ing that an agreement to commit an
unlawful act was in itself conspiracy
and that the agreement carried with it
the intent to violate the law.
Mr.. Garry spoke for about one and
one-half hours. He was followed By
Judge Wing, for the defense. The
closing arguments will be delivered by
Mr.. Dawley, for Mrs. Chadwick, and
District Attorney Sullivan, for the gov
eminent. Mr.. Garry's argument was
at times decidedly disconcerting to
Mrs. Chadwick. With a pale face and
handkerchief pressed tightly against
her mouth she listened anxiously to
every word he uttered.
When the list of her loans was given.
showing that she had received from the
Oberlin bank total of $187 900, and
100000 in one day, when the amount
which the bank could legally sloan to one
person was $4,000, she sank back in
her chair in weary fashion, only to
sit upright with jerk when fresh
attack upon her financial methods was
made by the prosecutor
When Mr.. Garry finished his argu-
ment Mrs. Chadwick appeared much
worried. Her son, Emil Hoover, who
sat beside her, passed his arm over
her shoulders, as If to comfort her.
She grasped his fingers in an agitated
manner and twisted them nervously un-
til Judge Wing rose to make the OPEN
ing argument in her behalf.
