voted by the federal grand jury Tues
day against the president OF one OF the
FIVE big packing companies. 1t was not

DESPITE all precautions for secrecy, is a

Unless that practice ceased at once
such prosecution is certain. The true

eral assembly yesterday afternoon.
number of propositions for change in the
control OF this branch coming up for con-

that no definite action could be taken.
Owing TO the fact that several matters
concerning the reduction OF the size OF

ST0ESSEL
SEVERELY

Portland Ore. March 3l.-A Verschinin.
civil governor Of Port Arthur before the
surrender OF that fortress 10 the Japan
ese. passed through Portland, enroute
from the Orient 20 Russia
Mr.. Verschinin bitterly resents the sur
render OF Gen Stoessel, which. he be-
lieves. could have been postponed for
two months at least. When asked what
import attached TO these two months. the
former governor replied that the sur
render by releasing 100000 Japanese and
an immense amount OF heavy artillery
was undoubtedly responsible for the de-
feat OF the Russians at Mukden.
The commanders. TO whom Verschinin
gives the credit for resisting the Japanese
during the long siege, are Gems. Smirnoff
and Kondratenko. who, he declares, FAR
exceeded Cen Stoessel In ability.
Mr.. Versohinin speaks in the highest
terms OF the Japanese soldiers He does
not, however. attribute their indomitable
perseverance, in battle so much TO
bravery as TO lack OF feeling which he
asserts is an impossibility for any Euro
pean race.
