BOMBS SENT As

"oRANGES"
Scores Of Boxes Find Their Way
Across the Frontier to Be
Used In Fighting
Troops

BY Associated Press
ST PETERSBURG, March t.-Vast
quantities of hand bombs are being
imported into Russia. The discovery
was accidentally made by the customs
authorities at Wireballen, Russian Po-
land. on opening an ordinary fruit box
marked Oranges" which was found
to contain a hundred small bombs.
Scores Of similar boxes have been COM
ing in for weeks and the authorities
hear they are already distributed. The
bombs are not Of the type of those used
by the terrorists.
They are more like hand grenades,
and it Is thought possible that they
were intended for distribution among
the strikers as weapons with which to
fight the troops. The efforts made by
the police to locate the plotters have
as yet been unavailing.

has come as a great shock to all of us.
She had been so brave and strong that
we hoped for her return well rested
and that her last look on earth might
be on her beloved Palo Alto. But 1t
was a joy to her to have been spared
of her husbands life and hers firmly
and fully established. Hers has been
a life of the most perfect devotion to
her own and her husbands ideals. If
in the years we knew her she ever
had a selfish feeling no one ever de-
tected it. All her thoughts were of
the university and of the way to make
it effective for wisdom and righteous
ness. No one outside the university
can understand the difficulties in her
university, and her patient deeds of
self-sacrifice can be known only to
those who saw them from day to day.
Some day the world may understand a
part of this. 1t will then know her
for the wisest as well as the most
generous friend of learning in our
time 1t will know her as the most
loyal and most devoted of wives, who
did always the best that she could do.
Wise, devoted, steadfast prudent, pa
tient and just every good word we
can use was hers by right. The men
and women of the university feel the
loss not alone of the most generous of
helpers but of the nearest of friends"

FIGHT AT sHAkHE BRIDGE
Thicket Taken and Retaken by a
Series of Furious Rushes

BY Associated Press
RUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS Huan
Mountain, March 1.--After an all night
battle the Russian forces which seized
the railroad bridge across the Shakhe
river retired after having DESTROYED the
Japanese fortifications at the further
end of the bridge and thrown the Jap
anese forces into CONSERVATION. The
Japanese losses were heavy.
The attack on the bridge began at 8
o'clock Tuesday evening. Under cover
of heavy bombardment Russian
chasseurs dashed forward and crossed
the bridge, drove back the defenders
and occupied the further end OF the
bridge. There the chasseurs threw up
hasty entrenchments and soon drove
the Japanese from their defenses at
the head of the bridge. An hour later
the chasseurs rushed across the bridge
and seized and fortified thicket oppo-
site, overcoming a number of wire en-
tanglements and blowing up the Jap
anese redoubts. An artillery company
kent up the bombardment and sue
ceeded In demolishing the Japanese
searchlights.
Desperate Struggle in the Dark
A stubborn fight in the darkness be-
gan, the gloom being but slightly dis
PEELED by the pale light of the stars
and the reflection from fires kindled by
the explosion of shells. The Japanese
brought up their quiokfire guns and
forced the Russians to abandon the
thicket, from which position the Jap
anese proceeded 10 lombard the regi-
ments holding the head of the bridge.
The night was desperate and at close
quarters. The Japanese rushed up
heavy columns of reinforcements and
charged repeatedly across the river.

The ministers with whom the emf
peror has discussed the problems since
the inauguration of the cabinet council
three weeks ago, entertained divergent
opinions, but by a process of elimina-
tion two propositions have been def
ntely rejected the first a constitu-
tlonal monarchical regime based upon
western models, with parliament 90
frame laws and control the budget, and
the second the zemsky tabor. The
former proposition has been rejected on
the ground that Russia is not yet ripe
for constitutional government, and the
second because the zemsky tabor is
now an anachronism.
In substance, the proposition which
the emperor is now considering with
the council of ministers is the estab-
lishment of national assembly based
on direct class representation, to sit
in n consultative capacity and propose
laws. In other words, to yield the
form while retaining the essence of

in human nature and in the good

is in line with the refusal of the Con-
gregational ministers of the country
to agree with DR.. Gladden's resolution
against tainted money, which he in
troduced and tried to push through to
adoption at the last meeting of these
ministers.
Rev. Leach is on sound and solid
ground. He has looked at the tainted
money problem from both sides and
has decided that the concrete view is
much better and more practicable
than is the abstract view. He be-
lieves that money or talent or ability
used in a work is bound to bring
about benefit to that work, no matter
what the source of that money. that
talent or that ability. If. Dr. GLADDEN.
would carry out his view on tainted
money he would have as much excuse
to say that a drowning man could not
be pulled out of the water except by
professional life saver and that if he
was rescued by a passerby the death
so closely approached would overtake
him Immediately any way. Any num-
ber of foolish ideas might be advanc-
ed with as much strength as has the
tainted money theory of DR.. GLADDEN..

SHAW ON CURRENCY.

Because he has made a long and
careful study of finances and especial
ly because he is about to retire from
the cabinet and give up the office of
secretary # the treasury, Secretary
Leslie M. Shaw's views on the elastic
currency idea, which are the same
now as when he first came out as an
advocate of the plan, are of much in
terest. In his speech to the Ohio
bankers convention at Cleveland yes
terday Mr. Shaw said:
The fact-and / think it is fact
that the United States has the best
currency system in the world does
not imply that the currency system
of the United States is perfect or
that it cannot be improved. 1t is as
safe as any system in the world, be-
cause it is established on the only
safe basis known to -lan-the gold
standard.
1T is the most convenient system
in the world, because it is construct
ed on the decimal or metric system.
The system is not perfect largely be-
cause it is nonelastic. 1t fails to re-
spond in volume to the changing
needs of seasons and Of localities.
Attention has been called to this
many times and by many people.
That there will be no further curren-
cy legislation until we shall have ex-
perienced panic occasioned by this
want of elasticity am convinced.
I'VE do not need and must not have
imitation. The average amount of
money is abundant. The difficulty
lies in the fact that the volume re
mains stationary.
Shall the remedy oe asset curren-
cy? In the popular acceptation of
that term, | answer, no! Asset cur
rency, as commonly understood, would
mean imitation, and that we must not
have Shall it be emergency curren-
cy? answer, no! The United
States originates more commerce
than any other country on the map,
but our chief commercial city is not
the worlds clearing house. 1t ought
to be, but it is not
Among the many remedies suggest
ed none appealed to me so strongly
as the authorization of additional ma
tional bank circulation. This method
involves the right of national banks
to increase their circulation in an
amount perhaps equal to so per cent
of their outstanding volume of gov
eminent bond secured circulation, on
which the bank should pay a tax of S
or per cent during the time it is
