Suffolk, Va, March 1O.-A. H. Cobb
died by his own desperate hand In
the office of the Suffolk Banking and
Trust Company here today about
noon.
Mr.. Cobb was president and hall
owner of the Suffolk Banking and
Trust Company and the Suffolk Knit
ting mills.
Nervous dependency was the cause
of the deed. the result of trouble
brought on by large embezzlements
by the cashier of his bank and the
book-keeper of his mills.
The cashier and book-keeper both
fled for parts unknown some weeks
ago.
The banks strength was not i'm
paired by the defalcation but the
complications in the finances were
large.
A runner of the bank left Mr.. Cobb
in his office today, and when he re-
turned. a few minutes later, he dis
covered the financier lying on his back
behind the cashiers window with his
head in a pool of blood. A pistol was
found on the counter, and at first foul
play was suggested because of the pe-
culiar location of the revolver. This
theory was soon abandoned. however.
because of the doctors treatment of
,ne unfortunate man and the evidence
of friends who had heard the banker
talk.

SWINGING TWIXT HOPE
AND DESPAIR.
Mrs. Chadwick's Nerves Chameleonic
She Flushes or Pales.
(By the Associated Press. }


Cleveland, o.. March 10.-Saturday
will see the close of the present trial
of Mrs. Chadwick and the case viii
probably be given to the jury some
time during the afternoon. Just be-
fore adjourning court for the day
Judge Tayler announced that it was
his intention to keep at the present
case until it is finished and he direct
ed that all other court business be
passed until Monday morning.
The entire day was given over to
arguments, half of the total number
having been disposed of. These, how
ever, We're but the light artillery and
the oratorical siege guns viii lopen in
the morning. Assistant District At
torney Thomas Fl. Garry spoke in the
morning and Judge Wing, for Mrs
Chadwick, took up all of the afternoon
with the exception of one half hour
just before the adjournment of court.
This time was taken by j. p. DaWley,
senior counsel for the defense, who is
OF deliver the main argument for Mrs
Chadwick. After him will come Dis
trict Attorney Sullivan, who will close
for the government.
1t was a trying day for Mrs. Chad
manner showed that the strain of the
trial is. telling on her. During the
greater part of the afternoon she sat
back in her chair as if greatly ex-
haustad. The attack made by Mr..
Garry upon her financial methods dis
turbed her greatly. When he showed
the jury by her own checks, that
without having any money in the bank
she had secured loans amounting to
$1S7 900 and 100000 of it in one
day, when the total amount which the
bank could legally loan to one person
was but $4,000 the prisoner sank back
in her chair as If she believed the
statements of the attorneys must have
great effect on the minds of the jury
men.
She was greatly discouraged at the
time Of the midday adjournment and
said:
I have about given up all hope.
/ haven't any chance in this court.
During the afternoon when her own
attorneys were making arguments she
frightened up very much. Judge
Wing argued that the offense of con-
spiracy had not been proven by the
government.

sanitation would more thoroughly
minimize the dangers of the climate.
Leaving the discussion of the physical
construction of the canal Mr.. Porter
dwelt at some length ON it's CONNER
cial and strategic value. 1t would re-
open and re-establish, said he the inn
portance of the Mississippi as a
worlds highway, and it was not too
much to suppose that its completion
would eventuate in the whole North
American continent ultimately coming
under the control of the United States
1t would strengthen the control of
adjacent waters and make us d power
in Asia.
The contest was closed with the
speech of Mr.. A. t. Kenyon, whose
subject was Should the Navy be IN
creased Mr.. Kenyon is a thick-set
young man with a beetling brown
thick hair, a big chest and an easy
though ponderous carriage. His voice
was revelation. 1t was deep and
full and resonant. As to moduIation
and control of his vocal energies Mr.
Kenyon distanced his competitors. He
seemed to have perfect confidence
and the easy and rhythmical delivery
of the orator born. His sentences
came out of his throat with a bull
like sound going with slow and peace
full flow to their conclusion with fine
regard for emphasis. They sounded
on the ear like the Cleveland sentence
strikes the eye and appeals to the
brain. His voice gloated over a big
word and rang the changes on 1t till
it became alive; the concluding phrase
was run down with the sense that it's
capture was a matter of predestination
and his pursuit a pleasure. Many in
the audience thought that Mr.. Kenyon
was entitled to the victory He cer-
tainly has the ability to talk WE'LL He
ought to be a jury lawyer. His voice
with cultivation could be made in so
a hypnotic instrument.
Mr.. Kenyon dealt with the navy as
a necessity for war inevitable unless it
was too dangerous to be tried. He
had small hope of peace conferences,
unless the parties thereto We're strong
enough TO force respect. The Ameri-
can people had been too prone, said
he to rely on tradition and the thought
that we could lick the world. The
against junk shop navy: the next
would not furnish so easy a role to
play. Mr.. Kenyon made a strong
impression and was very literally ap-
plauded.
Upon the return Of the judges to the
hall Mr.. Gilmer was introduced and
stated the appreciation of the COM
mittee with all the speeches and that
they had been troubled no little to
come to decision. He spoke of each
effort in turn and in awarding the
medal to Mr.. Porter did so i'm very
graceful speech of commentator and
congratulation over a victory from
worthy competitors.

'SmaII's Genius viii Real
ize His Dream.
A Clause in the River and HaFbOF Bill
Passed BY Congress Commits the
Government, as Stated, to Build
ina the Route From Norfolk
- pnonSo.t
to Beaufort.

Especial to News and Observer)
Norfolk, va, March 10.--An inland
waterway between Norfolk and the
sounds of North Carolina with a
depth of sixteen feet was practically
secured by the passage of the River
and Harbor Bill in the late Congress.
Representative John Ell. Small, OF the
First North Carolina District, who has
worked so indefatigably ia the interest
of this waterway having succeeded in
placing in the House bill clause in
connection with the Improvement of
the harbor at Beaufort which COM
mits the National government to the
waterway scheme and means its ultt-
mate establishment.
The route determined upon is the
Cooper Creek route" and the United
States engineers who made the sur
vey, estimated the cost of construc-
tion to ge over $10,000,00 The route
for the waterway runs from Norfolk
to Beaufort inlet and is nfeant to per-
NIT vessels of quite heavy draught to
proceed North and South, thus avoid
ing the great dangers to be encoun-
tered in rounding the Hatteras shoals
on the North Carolina coast, and 1t is
also contemplated that smaller naval
vessels may IN the I1l1e or war
especially use the waterway to great
advantage.
Discovery by Experts.
The discovery of the governments
commitment to the waterway was made
here today by experts who point out
that the few lines incorporated into
the River and Harbor Bill as passed
and signed by President Roosevelt
read as follows:
For improving Beaufort, N. c.
harbor in accordance with documents
submitted in House document No. 563,
Fifty Eighth Congress with a view to
secure a channel twenty feet deep,
$45, ,000."
Section 2 Of the bill recites: "The
government shall not be deemed to
have entered upon any project for the
Improvement of any waterway or har-
Dor mentioned in this act until funds
for the commencement OF the pro-
posed work shall have been actually
appropriated by law
Now the work at Beaufort is the
initial work of cutting the inland
waterway. The clause appropriating
money for the commencement of work
there was submitted today to the high
est authority and it was held that it
needs must be construed to mean that
the government is committed TO the
inland waterway project, and subse-
quent appropriation must be made to
complete the work.

Mukden, Thursday. March 80 a.
m.-The Japanese last night pushed
up from the south across the ADAM
dOned plain between the Shakhe and
Hun rivers and are as this dispatch
is filed, about five miles south of the
latter and from the Hun opposite Ma
chiapu and northward japanese bat
terieS are pouring in a ceaseless fire.
The Japanese succeeded in emplacing
siege guns and mortars at Diusantun
about six miles west of this city
whence they opened fire before dawn.
Diushantun was the scene yesterday
of the bloodiest and most desperate
fighting of all this terrible battle Its
possession was vital to the Japanese
who stormed it again and again. The
Russians dislodged them but the Jap
anese final ~ re-captured the village
after much hand-to-hand fighting.
Eye-witn esses say the dead scat
tered in the streetsS court yards and
houses have been lying unburied four
days. Rifles and other arms lie
about wrenched and twisted. Hand
grenades we're thrown by the Japanese
and the garrison was subjected to the
concentrated fire of as many as a hum
dred guns With Diushantun in thei,'
hands the Japanese can train guns on
Mukden railroad station and it has
been held at a frightful cost.

The VAST HOST OF
RUSSIA IN FLIGHT
Field Marshall 0yama Telegraphs Toxic That His
EnveIopiLg Movement Has Resulted in
Complete Success

to distinguish detectives, both armies
necessarily ceased to a large extent
their artillery and rifle fire and a
strange boding quiet reigned was along
the western and northern fronts.
There is reason to believe, however.
that the Japanese column spent the
day III an unintermittent movement
northward to occupy positions for a
still more vigorous attack on the rail-
road the minute the storm clears.
The situation is too extremely serious
to discuss and owing to the censorship
details cannot be given, but in gem
eral the lines held by the Japanese
yesterday west and northwest were
as follows:
Beginning at the village of Hun
river and running north through the
village of Lifuyantun, six miles west
of Mukden railroad station at Tatchia-
kiao, thence turning northeast along
the valley of the Pu river to the village
of Taudatun nine miles northest
of Mukden and six miles west of the
ally northward toward Tie Pass. In
places the Japanese bent their lines
sharply inwards to the Imperial
Tombs which their shells are reach
ing and where the railroad turns
eastward.
Trains Steaming Northward.
One small body of japanese crossed
the railroad to the east of the line.
Behind this screen columns of Jap
anese with artillery were moving
north. one after another until the
evacuation of Mukden became impera-
tive. All day long military trains
were departing northward and the
railroad line was closed to civilian and
passenger traffic. Both the railroad
and telegraph lines We're several
times damaged by the japanese whose
shells reached the railroad.
The Red Cross. both nurses and sur
geons distinguished themselves by
working under fire and a regiment of
the imperial rifles fought with inde-
scribable valor. The double eagle
on top of the standard of this regi-
ment was carried away by shell and
should, it is claimed, here, be replaced
by a st. Georges cross which every
survivor has earned.
The commissariat arrangements
We're working better than expected
in the face of such battle, the troops
receiving hot victuals.

reported that the Russian strength
west of Mukden consists of two corps.
The Japanese, who destroyed the rail-
road are pressing the Russians north
ward along the Mukden road is now
engaged six miles north of the Hun
River.
s'The extreme Japanese right is
within five miles of Fushun.
Nearly all the Russians heavy guns
and many field guns have been cap
tured. The Russians seem to be
moving eastward toward Fushun with
the object Of retiring north.
The above reference to the fighting
north of the Hun River conflicts with
the official reports, but possibly is
later news.
