San Francisco. March S.--One more
expert detective will be dispatched to
Honolulu tomorrow to pick up the
scattered threads of the Stanford mys-
terry and will endeavor to track the
murderer. II murder really was COM
mitted, Reports of the San Francisco
chemist who analysed the mineral
water of which Mrs. Stanford drank
on January H. declares positively that
there was strychnine in the water sub
mitted to him for examination.
Although every effort has been made
to solve the mystery of the alleged
poisoning OF Mrs. Stanford, few new
developments were made today. The
autopsy at Honolulu has not been COM
pleted and 1t has not been proven that
death was not the result Of natural
causes. A cablegram from Honolulu
intlmates that there are indications OF
acute indigestion which may have
caused the fatal illness of Mrs, STAN
ford. who before dying recalled the
previous stories of the attempt on her
life. AS yet no arrests have been
made, but detectives are engaged in
the matter, but have
made no direct accusations, although
all the members of the Stanford house.

Japanese Forces Occupying STRAIT.
egic Points in Manchuria
Province.
FIERCE BATTLE IS RAGING
Russians Defeated at Every Turn and
Are Forced to Retreat Under Su-
perior GeneraIship of Japan
ese Officers.

General oku's Headquarters, Feb.
l2S delayed In Transmission)-- The
Russians have been very active for
several days. evidently expecting the
Japanese to move. That portion of
the japanese line lying west of the
railway has continuously bombarded
night and day with heavy guns as well
as field guns.
The left wing, following the ex-
ample Of the extreme right moved for
ward driving in the outposts and oc-
cupying line running from Shotze-
nun to Kalama on the east bank OF
the Lao river, IL miles north of the
Shakhe river. This completely blocked
any attempt OF the Russians to turn
the japanese left.
1t is probable that the commence
ment Of general Battle is only mat
ter of hours. The Russians are spend
ing the days heavily bombarding the
Japanese lines and at night making
small attacks on many points. sending
out detachments of one or two COM
panies.
All the attacks are easily repulsed
by the Japanese who are suffering no
serious loss. The most serious attack
occurred last night when five COM
panies of Russian infantry desperate
ly assaulted Lamuting. which has been
attacked a score of times since the
battle of the Shakhe. After a desper-
ate fight lasting one hour ana half
the Russians We're repulsed. They left
behind so dead and some prisoners.
A severe bombardment is continuing
today The Russians using additional
heavy guns, but firing blindly The
Japanese are responding lightly, There
is every evidence that both sides are
preparing for what may prove the de-
cislve battle of the war. Probably
fully a million men win be ready to
move when the battle is Joined.
The battle must be fought before
general thaw comes, making the roads
impossible fcF several weeks, The
Japanese troops are in excellent health
and spirits, despite the long winter of
unaccustomed cold. A few Russian
soldiers are surrendering daily, the
number being largely increased the
last few days.

Doubts Exist II Mrs. Stanford Was

OPINION OF PROF. JORDAN'S

Stanford University, March g.
President Jordon of the Stanford uni

lutely no theory as to who could have
had any motive In killing Mrs. Stan.

poisoned drug must have come from
the same bottle that poisoned the min

OPPOSE BILL BOARDS.
Public Opinion in Portland Against
Nuisance.

Portland. March 3.-=Public opinion
seems TO be well nigh settled in re-
gard to the bill board nuisance. Tho
elimination Of this method of adver.
tising 10 regarded as very hard, but its
regulation Is held to be within the
powers Of the city. All are agreed that
the unsightly billboards should go, but
realize at the same time that 1t is, a
difficult task. The only relief at hand
lis strict regulation on the part OF the
city; not so much, some say, in the
way OF higher license. but as to the
location of the bill boards.
The majority Of the people requested
to express their views on this ques.
tion did not hesitate to say that the
billboards were an eyesore to the city
They are generally unpopular but be-
come more so when unsightly adver-
tisements are posted on them. In other
instances they are a nuisance because
they hide dirt, filth and debris be-
hand them.
