EXASPERATING DIFFICULTIES

Threat From Freight Handlers Union
Spectator in Escaping Crowd

CHICAGO. April 17.-Exasperating diff
cuities were experienced at every turn to-
day by the wagons of Montgomery Ward &
Co.. whose transfers and garment workers
are on strike. At the Michigan Central
freight houses. in South Water street the
police escorting the Ward caravans met
with stubborn opposition on the part of the
transfers in sympathy with the strikers.
The anti-Ward Transfers loaded or unload
ed their wagons with provoking slowness
and told the police. I'VE are not pieces of
machinery"
Many of the transfers in the street lead
ing to the freight houses insisted that they
had been waiting for two hours, and when
the police made way for the Ward wagons
to be loaded earlier than other wagons there
was loud complaint from each teamster.
Freight Handlers Threaten.
Members of the Freight Handlers Union
gave indications that unless the police
ceased to give the Ward wagons right to
unload before transfers who had been walt

THE JAPANESE PURSUIT.
Resumption of Heavy Fighting Near
Tie Pass is Anticipated.

Resumption of Heavy Fighting Near
Tie Pass is Anticipated.
Toxic, March IL, 6 p. m.-The jap
anese pursuit of the Russian armies
continues, and a resumption Of heavy
fighting in the vicinity of Tie Pass is
anticipated. Tie Pass, which is nat
urally strong, ha been extensively
fortified, and it is thought the Rus
slams will rally there in an endeavor
to check the Japanese.
The Notwithstanding armies al
ready are in touch at Tie Pass. The
Russians evidently are confused and
exhausted and possibly are short of
food and ammunition, and it is be-
lieved here they will be unable to re-
sist a strong attack.
Succeeding field reports increase the
extent of the Russian disaster. 1t
will require months to resupply and
reorganize the Russian armies. Esti-
mates of casualties given by captives
reach 40 per cent. The artillery losses
we're specially heavy. The captured
stores and munitions are valued at
millions of dollars. This loss material
ly adds to the Gripping Of the Russian
armies.
The Japanese people are receiving
details of the victory with calmness,
Toxic and other cities are exceedingly
quiet, and the recent admonition to the
people to refrain from spending money
in celebrations and devote their saw
ings to wer charities is being univer-
sally obeyed.
The Japanese press editorials, in
discussing the possible effect Of the
victory upon peace declare Japan will
continue the vigorous prosecution of
the wal and has no suggestion to make
to Russia, directly or indirectly.

MRS. CHADWICK CONVICTED.
Found Guilty on All Counts Not
Withdrawn From Consideration
VIII Take AN Appeal.

Cleveland, o., March 13.-Mrs. Cas-
sic L. Chadwick was found guilty of
conspiracy to violate the United States
banking laws by conspiring to procure
the certiication of checks on a nation
al bank when there were no funds in
the bank to her credit. She was found
guilty on every count of the indict-
ment upon which the jury was at lib
erty to judge her, seven in all. The
original indictment contained 16
counts. Two of these were ruled out
during the trial by Judge Tayler, and
of the remaining IA, one-half charged
her with securing the certification of
checks without having the proper en-
tries made OF the books of the bank.
Judge Tayler, in his charge, directed
the jury to disregard these counts, and
consider only the remaining seven,
which related to the c%ertifcation with
no funds on deposit. On all of these
the jury found against her.
Under the law she can be fined on
each count not more than 10000 nor
Imprisonment more than two years on
each count.
In speaking of the verdict, j. P.
Dawley, Mrs. Chadwick's senior coun-
sci, said that it was not in accord
with the terms of the indictment, and
that the ease would be taken to the
court Of appeals as soon as possible.

TENNESSEE SENATORSHlP
The Death of Senator Bate Opens
the Way for Gov. McMillin to
Secure the TOGa.

Nashville, Tenn, March 10.-The
Tennessee legislature adjourned soon
after it was called to order out of re-
spect to the death of Senator Bate. 1t
was decided during the brief session
to elect a successor to the late senator
on March 81.
Gov. Frazier, former Gov. Robert l..
Taylor and Hon Benton McMillin are
mentioned to succeed Mr.. Bate, but
the impression prevails that the legis-
lature will decide upon Gov. McMillin.
The governor, who was Gen. Bates
most active opponent during the last
campaign, withdrew in favor of Sen
ator Bate, with the understan} ng that
should Senator Bate retire he (McMil-
'in) would become the candidate.

BREEDERS LAW REPEALED
Repeal Bill Had a Tight Squeeze
Through the Missouri Senate.
Only a Reconsideration of the First
Vote, which Lacked Constitu-
tiOnal Majority, Saved 1t.

Jefferson City, Mo, March 10.-The
bill for the repeal of the breeders law
was passed by the Missouri senate at
$40 Thursday evening by a vote of 1S
to 10. The senators voted as follows:
Ayes-Avery, Bradley, Clarke. Dew
ilbiss, Dickinson, Dowell, Ely, Fields,
Frisby, Gilmore, Hicks, Humphrey,
McDavid, McNatt, Peck, Worries, Walk
er, Young.
Ayes-Avery, Bradley, Clarke, Dev-
Farris, Joseph W. Farris, Gardner,
Kinealy, Kinney, McIndoe, Morton,
Nelson, Reichmann, Sartorius, Worn
all.
On the first vote the senate stood II
to IA, and apparently the measure was
lost. Senator Hicks, on the first roll
call, voted against the repeal, thereby
making the total for repeal one less
than the required constitutional ma
iority.
A moJlon to reconsider was then
made, and when Senator Hicks name
was called he arose and said dramat-
ically:
In casting my vote this time, Mr..
President, | desire to say that | am
voting against my constituents but for
l.. d. Hicks.
The result of the second ballot was
IS ayes and - noes.
This vote repeats the breeders law,
the bill having been already passed by
he house.
Senators Curry and McAlister were
absent from Jefferson City.
The senate was crowded at the time
the vote was taken. When the result
was announced the spectators broke
into wild cheers.
"Hurrah for Hicks" came from a
dozen threats, and the refrain was re-
echoed by a hundred others.
Farris, of Crawford county, when Or
der was restored, moved to take up
house bill TIC, which prohibits book.
making and pool selling. Senator
| Clarke moved an adjournment under
the rules. This was carried.

New York, March 11.-Although the
local leaders are continuing the fight,
despite the fact that the national lead

breakers quickly learning their new
duties, while many of the old men are

to the recent discovery that an ordln.
airy healthy tree may be successfully
pressed into service, in place OF a

made by Maj. Squire, Of the United

END OF STANFORD INQUEST
The Jury Says Death Was Due to
Strychnine Poisoning.
rs Generally Used for Medicine,
But the Conrser lend.

Honolulu, March 1.-THE coroner's
jury has returned a verdict that Mrs.
Jane L. Stanford died an unnatural
death.
The verdict says that
Death was due TO strychnine
poisoning, the poison having been
introduced into n bottle of bicar-
Donate of soda with feIoniOus in
TEN by some person or persons to
II jury unknown.
The end of the inquest, with a posi-
tive verdict of murder, leaves the po-
lice of Honolulu as much without q
clew as when Mrs. Stanford died.
High Sheriff Henry said after the in
quest that it was his opinion that the
%strychnine was placed in the soda in
San Francisco by a member of Mrs.
Stanford's household.
At the inquest DR.. Shorey testified
that THE STRYCHNINE USED, AS
SHOWN BY THE TESTS, WAS
STRYCHNINE SUCH AS is NOT
USED GENERALLY FOR MEDICI-
NAL PURPOSES, BUT USED PRIN-
CIPALLY FOR POISONING AMI
MAILS.
This statement is regarded as of pos.
sible assistance in tracing the pur-
chase of the poison.
The jury returned its verdict after
about two minutes elaboration.
The detectives, who are expected to
arrive from San Francisco on the
steamer Alameda, may be able to take
up the investigation on new lines. The
| local police admit that they are at sea.

would fill a reservoir that was 1.62
