PLEADED NOT GUILTY
MRS. CHADWICK ARRAIGNED IN
U. S. CIRCUIT COURT.
Charged With Aiding and Abetting
False Entries by Cashier Spear Of
the Oberlin Bank.

= CLEVELAND. Ohio, April 14.-Mrs. Cha'l-
wick, when arraigned in the United States
district court today, pleaded not guilty to
the new Indictment recently returned
against her by the grand jury, charging
her with aiding and abetting Cashier A. b.
Spear of the Oberlin bank in making false
entries in the banks books and in making
untrue statements to the controller of the
currency. Spear was also arraigned today
and pleaded not guilty to the joint indict-
ment.
The court increased Mrs. Chadwick's Bail
from $4,000 to $27O 900. OF the $1,000 added
5000 was to cover the new indictment,
while 81 600 was named on each of two of
the old indictments, upon which no bail
had been specifically fixed heretofore.
Governments One Chance.
In reply to a question of Attorney Wing,
counsel for Mrs. Chadwick, in court to-day
District Attorney Sullivan stated that Mrs.
Chadwick would not be tried on any of the
indictments standing against her during the
present term. This is taken to mean that
the government will not try Mrs. Chal-
wick again unless she escapes punishment
on the conspiracy charge upon which she
was recently tried.
1t is known that Mrs. Chadwick's attor-
neys are quietly at work in another at
tempt to secure bail for her. Including the
bond demanded in the state courts for the
release of Mrs. Chadwick it will now re-
quire a total surety of $4,000 to obtain her
release pending the decision of the circuit
court of appeals on the motion for new
trial.
Mrs. Chadwick was apparently in much
better health today when she appeared IN
the court room than during her trial. She
was fashionably attired in a black silk
costume, with big picture hat.

Nan Patterson Relieved in
Conspiracy Case,
MOVED BY PROSECUTION
RAND ADMITTED A
MISTAKE HAD BEEN MADE.
He Reserved Right to Resubmit - Eff
feet of Action-Fight Over Re-
turn of Letters.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE indictment
charging Nan Patterson with conspiracy
with j. Morgan Smith and Mrs. Smith,
wrongfully to obtain money from Caesar
Young, was dismissed in the court of gen.
eral sessions today at the request of Assist
nant District Attorney Rand.
Counsel for the Smiths demurred to the
indictments against the Smiths and de-
clared that the facts alleged against them
did not constitute a crime. The court re-
served decision in that case. Counsel for
the Smiths endeavored to secure the return
of property taken from the Smiths, but
failed.
Miss Patterson, who is about to be tried
again for the murder of Caesar Young, was
brought into court with the Smiths. Mr.
Rand told the court that a mistake had
been made in drawing up the indictment
against Miss Patterson and that it tended
to prejudice her position in the capital case.
Remanded Back to Tombs.
In asking for the dismissal of the indict-
ments against her he reserved right to re-
submit. Miss Patterson was then remanded
back to the Tombs prison.
The effect of the action will be to pre-
vent her counsel from getting at the grand
jury minutes, which might have aided in
her defense.
Counsel for the Smiths then asked the
court Tor an Ofder competing the ulStrict
attorney to return the letters and docu-
ments taken from the Smiths, and prom
ised to produce them whenever they were
wanted. The court refused the motion.
In support of his contention that the
facts charged against the Smiths did not
constitute conspiracy, their counsel read
an intercepted letter from Julia Smith to
Caesar Young, in which the writer stated
that Miss Patterson was about to become
q mother which was one of the allegations
in the charge of conspiracy to get money
from Young.
Counsel said that statements as to Miss
Pattersons health did not bear out the
allegations, and that the alleged threaten
ing of Young with a revolver, If true was
an independent offense. He declared that
false pretenses could not be considered
eXtortion.
Judge Foster reserved decision on the de-
murrer and allowed the counsel to submit
briefs later in the day. Smith and his wife,
who were excused from pleading, were re-
manded to the Tombs.

Russians Have Kept Up a
Gradual Retreat.
MAIN FORCE AT KIRIN
REARGUARD OF $4,000 IN TOUCH
WITH MIKADO'S TROOPS.
Changchen Rallying Point for Chang
tn and Fakumen Divisions
5000 Retard japanese.

TOKYO, April IA, 8 p.m.-The following
official announcement was made today:
Our force, advancing eastward via the
Fushun and Hailing road, encountered and
defeated the enemy on the morning of the
18th at Erhhoulu, seven miles east of Yinss-
pan. The enemys strength was one regi-
ment of infantry, six squadrons of cavalry
and four guns. Our force then occupied
Tsangshih, about nineteen miles east of
Yingpan. The enemy, in retreating toward
Hailung, fought at every step.
1.-The enemy on the Kirin road has grad
ually retreated since the 18th. portion of
this force still remaining to bar the pas
sage of the Yushu river.
mo change has occurred in the Changtu
or Fahkmen districts, except occasional
cavalry skirm:shes.'
Russian Main Force in Kirin.
1t is reported that the main force of the
Russians which retired in the direction of
Hsingking, has reached Kirin. The rear
guard, which is estimated at 12,O00 men,
continues in the vicinity of Harlungcheng.
closely in touch with the Japanese van
guard. The main force, which retired from
kaiyuan over the kirin road, is reported
at Kirin with a rear guard of 5000, at Itsu
chow, Hakusu and at Sulipao, keeping in
touch with the Japanese forces.
Changchen is evidently the rallying point
for the Changtu and Fakumen forces. AL
though a force, estimated at 1900 men,
has been detailed to occupy Fenchua, and
5000 to hold Pamiencheng, the latter force
seems assigned to check and retard the
japanese advance.

REGARD ACT AS FRIENDLY.
Russian Comment Upon Statement
From Washington.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 14--Dispatches
from Washington showing that Japan Off
cially notified the United States when the
rupture with Russia occurred that no act
of hostility would take place till after a
formal declaration of war had been made,
whereas hostilities broke out February s.
and the declaration of war was not for
mally made until February 10, attract much
attention here.
Although the dispatches arrived too late
for newspaper comment this morning, there
is considerable speculation to the cause
of the publication of the statement at this
time.
1t is regarded as a friendly manifestation
toward Russia on the part of the United
States, Russia having always contended
that the statement of NJ. Kurino, former
Japanese minister at st. Petersburg, to
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, when he pre-
sented the note severing diplomatic rela-
tions, in which he expressed the hope that
the rupture was only temporary, gave Rus
sia no reason to anticipate an attack with
out warning in the shape of a declaration

FLAMES LIT UP CITY
100000 FIRE IN NEW YORK
EARLY THIS MORNING.
Blaze Spread to Two Six-Story Struc-
lures Adjoining and Others Scorch-
ed-Watchmen Missing.

NEW YORK, April 14.-Five persons were
badly hurt, fifty others narrowly escaped
death or injury, and hundreds were driven
from adjoining tenements in a fire early
today which entirely destroyed the seven
story sweatshep building at 127-131 Hester
street and extended to and damaged several
other nearby buildings. When the fire was
at Its height the flames lit up the whole
of the lower part of the city and the East
river with a glare that could be seen for
miles. The damage is estimated as close
upon 100000.
That there were none of the usual fatali-
ties accompanying a big East Side fire was
due to the fact that the destroyed building
was used almost wholly by small clothing
makers, and there were no children and
only one woman, the wife of the janitor
in the place.
Watchmen Leaped for Life.
About fifty men, some employed as watch
men for the various clothing factories. and
others friends of the watchmen, whom they
permitted to sleep there. We're in the build
ing. AS the fire started on the third floor
and spread so quickly that escape by the
stairs from the upper stories was soon cut
off, more than half of these men had to
jump 10 the roofs or adjoining buildings
some across the chasm of an eight-foot
alleyway, to save their lives. All of the
injured were hurt in making the leap for
life,
Before the fire was controlled it spread
to two siX-story tenements adjoining and
singed the fronts of four big tenements and
a public school building on the south side
of the street.
Police and firemen searched the ruins of
the burned building, expecting to find the
bodies of the watchmen, several of whom
had not been accounted for.

and in others unjust replied Mr..

Senator Dolliver questioned Mr.
Morawitz about the agreements be-
tween companies as to rates. The lat
ter replied that there were no "agree-
ments.'
The railroad. he said, talked things
over. and reached an understanding as
to what rates would be from COM
petitive points. He said these rates
were fixed on a remunerative basis.
Senator DOlIiver asked why inter-
mediate points were compelled to pay
higher rates than the competitive
points. He maintained that the inter-
mediate points were really benefited by
such action.

+a5r a conference, and all our efforts
bains turned down, it was decided to
call on our brothers on the main line,
to see if they could not bring influence
ia hear on the company to grant the
Coast Line bOilermakefs a conference
ssOn April 10, 1905, a committee
from every shop on the system went
into their respective master mechanic 5
ofice, and requested them to use their
influence to bring about a conference
between the company ana the poller-
makers on the Coast Lines and also
announced that after that date they
would refuse to work on any engines
belonging to the Coast Lines. After
the company having had four days
time in which to grant this request
and showing no disposition to grant 1t,
every union boilermaker and helper
on the Santa Fe system was called out
in sympathy and in support OF their
brothers on the Coast Lines.
The strike on the coast lines would
have been at an end long ago If the
company had not sent work from the
coast line to be done in Topeka tJiat
should have been done there. They
could not do this work on the coast for
the reason that they could not get com
petent men to fill our places. Before
the strike there were 1S0 full paid boil
ermakers between Albuquerque ana
Point Richmond, and now they have
not over 40 full paid men, so II is eas1-
" to be seen why the boilers from the
coast lines were sent here to be over
hauled.
The company claims that they make
no discrimination between union ana
non-union men; they have discharged
so men at Topeka, Argentine and Fort
Madison within the past two nonJns'
and they were told that they were Gls-
charged for belonging to the union
These men were all first class mechanlcS
and the company needed them badly,

men from organizing. If these men
were not discharged for belonging TO
the union. but owing to a Iull III Dusl-
ness, why did not the company when
they started hiring men again snort
time ago, put these men back TO WOrk
They. were old residents of Topeka, and
had their homes here, and were entitled
to the first opening
Situation Declared Well in Hand.
I'VE have the situation we'll in hand,
and we know that the company can
not get competent mechanics to I'LL
our places, for there is a great de-
mand for boilermakers all over the
country, and the company viii have a
hard time finding men that Will come
here to take our places, when they are
working under better conditions else
where.
1--WE are prepared to stay in this
fight to the finish, if it takes ten years
but We are open for a conference any
time. and will meet the officials of the
company when ever they are ready
to make settlement with the boiler
makers.
Including Ottawa men, who were
called out this morning (and II men
out of 18 men responded to the calD,
we now have 1872 men out. but expect
to have fully 200 men out by the end
of this week, as the pickets are getting
men to quit every day. We have sue
ceeded in getting % men to leave the
company's service since the strike was
ordered at this point"

PRICES CUTAT ENPORlA
standard sells oil at Nine Cents a
Gallon Wholesale

Emporia. Kan, April 19.-The
Standard Oil company has cut the
price on oil here, making the whole
sale price 9 cents per gallon. The
Standard has been selling oil at 9 Il
cents for some time. While the Web
ster company has been selling at 10
cents. This move of the Standard is
taken by the Webster people as an
invitation to take Up a rate war. The
Independent refinery announced that
it will not drop it's price below 10
cents, and its supporters among the
zeal merchants claim that they will
use the Webster oil at a reasonable
price, no matter what the Standard
price may be. A noticeable effect of
the new DISCRIMINATION law is the
lowering of the freight rate on Web
ster oil from Humboldt here. The
former rate of $56 per car has been
dropped to SIS. The freight rate on
barrel lots to the smaller Lyon county
towns has been cut twO-thirds.
CUT ON OIL, NOT GASOLINE.
Enporia, Kan, April 19.-The report
sent from Topeka that gasoline is being
sold at Emporia at 9A cents proves to
be untrue. The Emporia wholesale
price is 1215 cents, a cent lower than
that at Topeka. The difference in dis
tance from the refinery is, it is stated
responsible for the advantage in the
price given at EmpOria.
Nine cents is the Standards price on
coal oil, while the Webster people here
ask 10. The independent refinery sells
no gasoline at Fmporia.
1.-THE wholesale price of gasoline in
Topeka is 1919 cents and coal oil 9
cents. The price of coal oil was reduc-
ed z a cent on Tuesday
