the public would like to know how

mortars simultaneously.
The Japanese are reported to have
suffered more from the cold than the
Russians during the fighting westward.
The hospitals at Liaoyang are reported
to be crowded with frostbitten men.
According to the Chinese the Japa-
nese reserve brigades are being moved
eastward, indicating the direction of
the Japanese offensive when it begins.
Reports from the same source say that
General Nogi will command the ex-

Rumors continue that the Japanese
are quietly shifting heavy forces from
their center to their flanks, the con-

While the nights are still cold the
days are warmer and the time is ap-

Spring In Manchuria is not marked
by rainfall. The great battle which
all are expecting and which may spell
ruin to either army should occur within

Whatever grounds may exist for the
charges that the Russians are violat-

"A Just Measure.
Representative A. s. Gibbens

Representative A. s. Gibbens has
introduced bill in the legislature to
amend certain sectins in the present
code so as to require railroad compan-
les to furnish cars to shippers within
70 hours after the time of application,
for the shipment IF grain, live stock,
ETC., and to prevent discrimination in
the distribution OF cals in favor of the
elevators companies, corporations or
other large shippers as against indi-
viduals or small shippers. We have
read the bill over and consider it q
just worthy and necessary measure,
and one that should have the support
of large majority Of the members of
the legislature, whose constituency is
almost wholly of the class that is des-
ignated by the term individual or
small shippers, and in fact the ma
jority of the Legislature itself is Of
that class. It is fact that at the
present time the elevators are favored
in the distribution of cars, and on
first looking over the bill we were in
clined to think it would not be ex-
actly fair to hold the elevator, which
takes in the grain Of many farmers,
down to an equal allotment with the
farmer who has but one or two cars to
sell, but on further consideration we
find that it is an injustice to each in

Mrs. Edwards Opinion Of Action os
Pardon Board.

Reading, Pa, Feb. 16.-When the
news of the rehearing In the Greason
case and a continuance for Mrs. Ed
wards was sent to the jail Mrs. Ed
wards was lying on her cot, moaning
and sobbing and giving full sway to
her feelings. 1t was explained to her
that she had at least been granted a
new lease of life. It was hard to
make her understand and her replies
were incoherent. She said that it ap-
peared to her as If her life was only
spared to prolong her misery. She
apparently realizes that she is only
saved from the gallows to enable her
to testify in favor of Greason.
The latter, when told of the boards
decision. said:
Il knew it could not be otherwise"

WOMAN ALSO HAS HIS NECK
SAVED FROM MOOSE.

Harrisburg, Pa, FeD. l6.-On rec
ommendation Of the board Of pardons
Governor Pennypacker has withdrawn
the death warrants in the e&se of Mrs.
Kate Edwards, the white woman, and
Samuel Greason, the negro, who are
under sentence to hang together in the
Berks county jail at Reading for the
murder of Mrs. Edwards husband in
1901. The case of Greason will now
be again taken to the Pennsylvania
supreme court and If that tribunal re-
fuses to reopen the case the attorneys
for Mrs. Edwards and Greason will
have to appear before the board OF
pardons next month.
The supreme courtroom was crowd
ed with spectators when the board of
pardons convened at 10 o'clock to take
up the cases and other routine busi-
ness. In the crowd we're many men,
bers of the legislature and also the
delegation of women who presented a
monster petition to the governor Tues
day in behalf of the condemned wo-
man.
When the pardon board went into
session some minor cases were dis
posed of, after which the Edwards
case was taken up. Elwood H. Deys-
per, of counsel for Mrs. Edwards, made
a motion that the case Of Mrs. Ed
wards be continued. He made this
motion, he said, because Mrs. Edwards
had confessed that she had committed
the crime and that Greason had no
hand in it and because counsel for
Greason
Wanted to Take Dispositions
and also examine Mrs. Edwards with
regard to the authenticity Of the con-
fession. Counsel for Greason, he said,

ued, because they were both under

attorneys for Greason. supported Mr..
Deysper and also pleaded for a re-
hearing in the case of their client. Mr..
Sadler Informed the board that he had
four witnesses in behalf of Greason
who had never been examined. The
board retired and after celebrating
twenty minutes returned to the bench
and announced that the board had de-
cided to take up both cases and imme-
diately continue them.
After the announcement of the
boards decision Lieutenant Governor
Brown informed the attorneys for Mrs.
Edwards and Greason that both cases
would be taken up next month to-
gether by the board unless the su-
preme court in the meantime inter-
fered.
Greason's case has been in the su-
preme court six times and twice be-
fore the board of pardons. The death
warrant has been read to him ten
times. Mrs. Edwards case has never
been in the supreme court. but the
board of pardons has twice refused to
commute her sentence.
After the governor was officially In
formed of the action Of the pardon
board q messenger was sent to the
sheriff of Berks county withdrawing
the death warrants.
