LONDON, Jan. 2.-The news that
Port Arthur had surrendered caused
great excitement in the city. There
were early gatherings at the clubs
to discuss the news.
Baron Hayashi this morning ex-
pressed his belief that the moment
Gus announcement might be expected
in less than "a hours.
A Toxic dispatch states that Ad-
mirals Togo and Kamimushu have
received at the war office Informal
ton that Stoessel had surrendered.
1t is said the terms were finally
drafted as proposed by Togo.
1t is also stated that the Russians
demanded that the remainder Of the
garrison be escorted in safety to the
mainland, pending negotiations for
their liberation and that all those
persons now in the old and new
lows and unable to leave are to be
protected. These terms were agreed
to.
The Japanese embassy Today was
besieged by Hayashis countrymen,
who called to offer congratulations.
First Secretary Kaike said:
1--WE have not received the official
news of the definite capitulation of
Port Arthur. We interpret the stu
alton that Generals Stoessel and

Some time between Saturday night
and this morning a robber, who found
the combination numbers on the
wall, opened the safe of o. f. Smith,
proprietor of the Spokane Marble
works at 1901 North Monroe street,
and stole q diamond ring valued at
$500, about $25 In cash and guam
tity of postage stamps. A number
of postoffice orders and package
II notes in the same drawer with
the ring and money were left undis-
turbed.
Mrs. Smith acts as clerk for her
husband and she left the little office
I'm the rear of the marble shop on
Saturday evening about o'clock,
taking pains to turn the combina-
tion, locking the safe. When she
opened the office this morning the
safe door was closed and everything
was apparently all right.
About 10 o'clock today, having oc-
CASTOR to go to the safe, she found
1t unlocked and further investigation
disclosed the fact that the lock on
the inner door had been carefully re-
moved.
Notwithstanding the picking of the

Watermelon seeds are not the only
thing Mrs. John l.. Sawdey, 1908
Boone avenue, swallowed between
four and five years ago.
One day last week the osteopath
attending Mrs. Sawdey removed a
cherry stone from the womans
stomach.
1t will be remembered that a week
today The Press printed a story of
how six watermelon seeds had been
removed, after remaining in the
stomach for between five and six
years. The fact that Mrs. Sawdey
had no teeth may account for the
seeds being swallowed.
Many practitioners treat the story
of the case incredulously, claiming
that the gastric juices of the stomach
would have eaten the seeds in less
time than stated.
DR.. F. c. Taylor, 321 Fernwell
block, a graduate of the Northern
Institute of Osteopathy of Minneapo-
lis. who is attending Mrs. Sawdey,
gives the history of the remarkable
case and the results accomplished
by csteopathic treatment.
Since the story of Mrs. Sawdey's
physical condition was given Deem
Der 26 in The Press, which stated
six watermelon seeds had been taken
from her stomach after being depos-
tied there for five years, 1 have re-
moved one cherry seed in good condi-
tion," said DR.. Taylor.
1.-THE case is most peculiar and ane
that 1 am devoting all the knowleds,
at my command to master.
when Mrs. Sawdey came to me,

sort and after being treated by near

placed and locked in the safe. Men
about the shop and several having
intimate knowledge or Mr.. Smith S
affairs have known for months that
he kept the mortgaged property in
the little safe.
There is a large safe standing in
the shop which the robber passed by
undisturbed. The robber evidently
knew just what he wanted and just
where 1t was.
Mrs. Smith was afraid she might
forget the numbers in the combina-
ton and had carefully written them
on the wall above her desk in the
office. Several men knew what the
figures were.
1t is a most unusual thing for a
thief to be furnished by the owner
of n safe, containing valuables, with
the combination to the outer door,
and sharp drill with which to open
the strong box inside.
The robber evidently entered the
marble shop through the front door,
as the windows were fastened down
and not disturbed. The lock to this
door is a common one and any pass
key will open it,

CHADWICK STORY

with the Publishers Press, are be-

DRAIN NAY NOT
BE ABLE TO DEFEAT THOSE ASKING THAT HE BE NOT
APPOINTED by GOVERNOR MEADE

A few days ago Governor Mead
publicly announced that he had de-
cided to reappoint Adjutant General
Drain. At that time the expose Of
the crooked armory deal had not been
made 1t is believed that when the
facts are presented to the governor
he will reconsider his determination
to reappoint man who is hand IN
glove with the owner of the news
papers which stopped at nothing in
the last campaign to bring about
Mead's defeat.
The reappointments Of General
Drain under such circumstances
would be direct slap to those who
have so Loyalty supported the gov
ernor against the extraordinary OPP
position created by the man who has
proved a baneful influence in the
policy of the adjutant general.
The wave of opposition to the pro-
posed armory site and bond issue is
increasing in colume since the ex-
pose of the Cowles-Drain deal. The
Press is in receipt of many congratu-
lations over the fearless stand taken
and has received assurances from
many prominent business men of the
city that they are giving hearty sup
port to the movement to reconsider
the selection of the armory site.

fact that the adjutant general Of the
state has shown that he is influenced
by Mr.. Mead's bitterest enemy, w.
II. Cowles, who is charged with engi-
neering a plot to locate the armory
on the unsuitable Riverside site. 1t
will be shown that Cowles and Drain
held private conferences and that for
some unknown reason the adjutant
general swung the commission, under
instructions from w. H. Cowles, to
the point of choosing the Riverside
site against the wishes Of at least
three of the members of the COM
mission.
Messrs. Collin, Boyd and. Gill of
the armory commission are quoted
as frankly saying that they desired
another site, but yielded to the
strong representations made by Ad-
jutant General Drain, who was after
wards found to be working in har-
mony with the governors enemy.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-01-02

Because Of his alleged connection
with the job to locate the new ar
mory building on a site chosen by
selfish property owners with the
view Of boosting their own property
holdings in the neighborhood, a fight
against the reappointment of Adju-
tant General Drain has been started
in Spokane.
Letters have already been sent to
Governor-elect Mead setting forth
the accusations made against the ad-
jutant general and asking that before
his appointment is made the state
ments of reputable Spokane citizens
and Mead supporters be given full
consideration.
In addition to the letters sent to
the governor elect a small delega-
ton Is going to the coast to make
personal fight against Drains re-
appointment.
The delegation will point out the

all the local men available through
northern Ohio to gather in forma-
ton. These men compiled material
which filled about two pages of the
Press, and it was all published two
days in advance of any other news
paper or press association. Then
with all the details of the case at
their fingers end. the members OF
the staff were able to cover the de-
velopments that occurred in such
quick succession thereafter in the
most thorough and reliable manner.
All in the handling of the case by
the Scripps- McRae and Publishers
Press Associations is conceded to
be one of the most remarkable pieces
of news gathering of the year.
