The character and reputation Of

a most laughable period Of comedy.

"And isn't it fact. that you are
sore at Davis because he printed in

ON MURDER CHARGE
Sensation Caused by Arrest Of Two
Men Suspected Of the Murder Of
Thomas Reed Near Brooklyn.

BROOKLYN. June "A genuine sensa-
ton has developed here in the last two
days, caused by the arrest of Phil
Martin and another man named Fin
ley, charged with the murder OF
Themes Reed of this place last winter.
+ The details of the cold blooded
crime were peculiarly revolving. Reed
was an aged veteran Of the Mexican
war who lived the life of a recluse on
the edge of town near his sons. He
was rumored to have some wealth
conceded about his premises. One
night last winter robbers broke into
the old house where he lived and the
next morning he was found lying
where he had been shot and killed.
Bloodhounds were secured from Lynn
vile but could not follow the trail and
the search was given up by all save
Poweshiek countys veteran sheriff,
George Binegar, and his deputy, his
son, Edward Binegar. 1t now devel-
ops that they had their suspicious
aroused from the first toward two men
named Phil Martin and Finley. both
local characters about town.
For months the officers have worked
on the case, even following Martin to
to Seattle at one time for evidence. At
last they decided that they had enough
to Justify arrest and on Wednesday
night Martin was quietly arrested
here and yesterday morning Finley
was also arrested at Williamsburg as
an accomplice of Martins in the
bloody deed.
So quiet was the matter kept that
no one knew Of it until County Attor-
ney w. C. Rayburn Of Grinnell cana
down here yesterday to conduct the
preliminary examination against Mar
tin, which was held behind care
fully guarded doors yesterday and
which is expected to consume all of
today. Meanwhile the men are kept
separate, Finley being locked UP in the
county Jail at Montezuma awaiting his
hearing.
While it is impossible to learn any
thing of the evidence from the officers
who are maintaining a very strict 81
lsnce in regard to the whole matter.
vet from reliable sources comes the in
formation that the officers believe that
they have abundance of evidence to
convict both men of murder.

Immediately became evident. The
sinking of battleships and armored
cruisers by shell fire testities to the
deadly accuracy of the japanese guns
and destroys the theory that it is inn
possible to sink such ships by shell
fire.
Japanese Believe Victory superhuman.
The attitude of Japanese naval men
towards the victory is curious. Togo's
message to the emperor says that the
victory was the result of the emperor's
superhuman influence on the navy.
The officers openly say that the
marvellous result obtained was impos-
sible by mere human achievement
alone.

Good Offices is Appreciated.
st. Petersburg, June 3.-The cabled
reports of President Roosevelt's con.
versation with Ambassador Cassini at
Washington yesterday, implying the
president had practically rendered the
good offices to Russia created quite a
sensation in diplomatic circles here.
While the idea that the president has
taken such step aroused surprise in
some quarters, it was received with
unconcealed satisfaction in the belief
that 1t would hasten the decision Of
Emperor Nicholas. the European
powers being, it is pointed out, no
matter how ardently they desire con-
clusion of peace. more or less embar-
rassed. There is very good reason to
believe, however, the reports did not
correctly state the presidents attitude.
Cassini's report of the conversation
has been. cabled to Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff. by whom it will be laid
before the emperor.

THE CONTINGENT FEE.
dubuque Telegraph Herald.]

fDubuQue Telegraph Herald.J
It has been proposed to prohibit the
acceptance Of cases on contingent
fees by legislative enactment. Federal
Judge Mcpherson has recently taken
occasion to criticise lawyers for ac-
cepting contingent fee cases. He is
reported to favor the talked about law.
The lawyer who takes a case on a
contingent fee agrees to take a stfp7
ulated sum if he wins and to receive
nothing if he loses. The plaintiff in
the action takes no chances to lose
dollar. The lawyer puts in his time
on the chance that he will be paid for
it by winning the case.
Suppose the contingent fee were
abolished. John Smith, poor and de-
serving, who thru no fault of his own,
is run down and injured by a. street
car, and is rightfully entitled to dam
ages for the injuries sustained, would
be estopped from bringing suit, from
securing justice-for it amounts to
that-because he has not enough mon
ey to pay lawyer Now with the con-
tingent fee lawful, Smith can get
lawyer to handle his suit on a contln-
gent fee. He thus secures equality be-
fore the law, which would be otner-
wise denied him.
On the other hand, suppose Smith
was a mere CRATER and was acquaint-
ed with "shyster' lawyer, who, tho
Smith had suffered an injury no worse
than a scratch, should start suit on
contingent fee basis with the only in
tention of mulcting the company for
settlement that would give him and
Jones a few dollars. The contingent
fee ambulance chaser is pest and
nuisance. So is the shyster, If there
be any difference.
Men start libel suits against news
papers on contingent fees and the
newspapers in states where the libel
laws are less equitable than here, are
forced TO go to much expense fighting
the actions, which most often have
little or no merit. 1t is unfair, of
course, to enforce this hardship on the
newspapers.
But it is better, since some one must
suffer injustice that those best able to-,
bear it, 1t is we'll to retain the con-
tingent fee but to deal harshly with
the unprincipled, grating lawyer. :.

MAY EXCUSE NEeoGAToFF.
Statement That Ammunition Was All
Gone Palliates AdmiraIs offense.

/ 81. s
st. Petersburg, June s.---The state-
ment that the ammunition on board
Rear Admiral Nebogatoffs $ ships were
exhausted when he surrendered, was
received with some relief, this being
one Of the conditions under which, ac-
cording to Russian naval regulations,
a commander is allowed to surrender.
Nevertheless, most naval men contin-
ue to be Of the opinion that the sea
cocks should have been opened and
the ships sunk. Stories of mutiny on
board the Russian vessels continue to
circulate, but the admiralty will not
admit it has received any information
tending to substantiate them. The Of
ficials admit, however, some sailors
mutinied off the Madagascar coast and
that number of them were shot by
Rojestvehsky's orders.

CAPTURE, CT RoJEsTvENs<Y.
Details Of the Taking Of the Russian
Admiral.

Toxic, June s.-The torpedo boat de-
stroyers, which have returned to Sase-
bo, furnish the. details of the capture
of Rojestvensky. The destroyers Kas-
uni. Usugmo, Sazanami and Kagerou
were ordered to attack the Russian
swarships on the night Of the 9th and
were steaming ahead, when suddenly
they encountered number of Russian
ships. Kasumi narrowly averted a col
lisioal with Russian icruiseb the
closeness Of which seems to have saw
ed the destroyers from being damaged
by the heavy fire which the Russians
directed at them. During the Russian
attack the vessels forming the Destroy
er aotilla divided. Sazanimi and Kag-
erou continued to search for the Rus
sian ships thruout the night and in the
morning discovered two torpedo boat
destroyers. One of them steamed away
but the other was unable to do so. On
approaching the latter the Japanese
discerned a white flag flying from the
foremost and a Red Cross flag astern.
She proved to be the Bedovi with
Rojestvensky and staff on board. The
Bedovi signalled her engines were
damaged and that she was short of coal
and water All armed guard was sent
on board the Bedovi to receive the sur
render. The Russians requested the
japanese not 10 remove Rojestvensky
and other officers on account of their
wounds and the Japanese complied,
with the understanding that the guard
would execute RojestvensiSy in the
event of delay leading to a meeting
with Russian ships and thus running
danger OF recslpture. The Sazanami
ran line to the Bedovi and began to
tow her. The line parted twice. In
the morning the sazanami met the
japanese cruiser Akashi which con-
Hsysd the two destroyers to sasebo.

WHY RUSSIA WAS DEFEATED.
Japanese Officers Admit the Advan.
tage Was With Togo.

Toxic. June 3.-The cardinal causes
of Rojestvensky's defeat have been the
subject of general discussion here. One
japanese expert gives the following
analysis:
First-An imperfect reconnaissance
and incomplete, faulty, and misleading
intelligence.
'Second.-An imperfect battle forma-
tion which indicated that Rojestven-
sky did not expect to meet Togo off
Tsushima.
"Third-.The weather the direction
Of the wind, and the sunlight were un-
favorable to the Russians, Togo hav-
ing the sun behind him and firing with
the wind, while the Russians had the
sunlight in their eyes and fired against
the wind.
"Fourth--The Russians wasted their
ammunition and eventually ran short.
It is believed that the surrender of
Nebogatoff was necessary because his
ammunition had been expended.
"Fifth-'The marked inferiority of
the Russian gunnery."
Some experts criticise Rojestvensky
for essaying the Tsushima channel.
Others uphold him saying that his only
chance lay in going thru the channel.
The impression prevails that Rojest-
vensky was totally unaware of the
presence of Togo's entire fleet off
Tsushima. Many believe that it was
necessary for Togo to take a station
at pivotal point from which it would
be possible to intercept the Russians
entering either the Tsushima, Tsu-
gura channel. Togo's real whereabouts
placed this pivotal point on the west
coast near the western entrance to
Tsugura channel. Togo's real where
abouts were known to many Japanese,
but the secret was successfully guard
ed and furnishes an example. of the
willingness and of the ability of the
Japanese to preserve military secrets.
Leaving aside the question of pre-
paredness and superior conditions the
superiority of the japanese personnel
fresh from fifteen months successful
campaigning under all possible cond
tions, must be taken into considera-
ton. Many ascribe the victory en-
tirely to the superior marksmar ship of
the Japanese. Togo, realizing that it
would probably be necessary to fight
in the open sea, gave his crews long
training III firing during rough wealth
er with heavy wind blowing and the
ships rolling. When the hostile fleets
