YOUNG coRBETT KNOCKED OUT.
AureIio Herrera Whips Ex-Champion i'm
 the Fifth Round.

the Fifth Round.
 Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 12.-Aurelio Herrera of Bakersfield, Cal. knocked out Young Corbett in the fifth round tonight at the Pacific Club pavilion. Herrera's victory was an easy one. Corbett's exhibition was disappointing. He lacked the vim and dash that had won so many battles fer him and his once forceful blows failed to inffict any damage upon the we'll conditioned body of his opponent.
 The fight came near ending in the first round In the last minute of the round Herrera caught Corbett on the jaw with left and right in quick sue cession and sent him staggering against the ropes, but over anxiety to land the finishing blow caused him to swing wildly and Corbett quickly gathered his wits and stalled off defeat for the time being.
 In the fourth, Corbett showed brief burst of his old-time form, twice fore ing Herrera to the ropes and landing with both hands.
 Early in the fifth round Herrera started in countering solidly with his right on Corbett's jaw and the Denver boy staggered. Quick as a flash the Californian was upon him and with Q series of rights and lefts sent him to the uoor. CofDett got up iHheuiateiy but again went down from right swing that caught him on the side of the head. He struggled to his feet at the count of six and tried to clinch. Herrera pushed him against the ropes ana setting himself swung vicious right flush for the jaw
 Corbett fell upon his face and lay in that position until he was counted out. He was carried to his corner and it required five minutes work by his seconds to bring him around There was much betting on the fight. At first the odds were 10 to 9 in Corbett's favor, but today the betting switched to even money and tonight there was no Corbett money at 10 to with Her rera faVorite,

SINGLE DAYS STRIKE.
Ne work on Red sunday In the Russian
 TCsnufre


 Ne work on Red sunday In the Russian
 Empire
 St. Petersburg. Jan. 12.---The work mems council, after consultation with the leaders of the other proletariat or ganizations, today decided that the cei- ebration of the anniversary of January 21 (Red Sunday should take the form of a general pacific strike for single day. Delegates were appointed to go to France, Germany and England, as well as to other places abroad. for the purpose of thanking the workers of those countries whc propose to join in a general observance of the anniver- sary.
 A three-cornered discussion is in progress among General Martynoff, the MoIva (Russ) and the Novoe Vremya over the question of the personal brav- cry of the Jews. The controversy was precipitated by the publication of an article signed by General Martynof in which the Jewish soldiers were stig- matized as towards and in which it was declared that they resorted to ev- cry conceivable ruse. even to the extent of mutilating themselves in order to avoid service. The article said that those who actually reached Manchurfa feigned sickness before every fight and that the fright of the Jews in battle was enough to shake the morale of all entire regiment The Jews, the article said, were guilty of constant desertion and it was alleged that there were 256 assertions of Jewish soldiers from single division as compared with the desertion of eight Christians. In con cluding his article General Martynon said that the Jews. on account of cow ardice and physical weakness, were not fit to be soldiers.
 The Molva took up the cudgel in be- half of the Jews, warmly defending their personal courage and giving them credit for bearing the brunt of the revolutionary struggle and explaining that any faults they may have shown at the front were born of their detest- ation of the rule of their oppressors. Tie Novoe vremya sided with Gen eral Martynoff, but acknowledged the abilities of the Jews, who, it said, were the real organizers of the Russian rev. olution. It insisted, however, that while the Jews had furnished brains and arms to the workmen, just as they furnished bombs to the terrorists, they had done little actual fighting.
 In continuing it's side of the argu- ment, The Novoe Vremya berates those foreigners in the United States who raised money to buy weapons for the defense of the poor Russian Jews, which in reality are used to fight the Gov ernnent Then the foreigners blame the Government for the harsh measures adopted to quell the rebellion.

VICTORIES ARE EASY
LIBERALS MAKING SWEEP IN ENG-
 LISH ELECTIONS.
Odds Befng Laid That Former Premier Baifour win Not Be Returned
 to the House of Com

London. Jan. 12-The general eIec- tion opened this morning and by 10 clock the name of the first member of the new parliament was announced Sir Christopher Furness, liberal, being returned for Hartlepool Sir Christo- pher, however. was not opposed. A It, tie later the score was evened by the unopposed reelection of Austin Taylor for East Toxeth.s In the course of the day two more libera.I were elected without contest.
 Nominations were made up today in 1S0 boroughs. The elections in these boroughs will commence tomorrow and last for several days.
 The liberals made an encouraging start in the election struggle today which elected the two liberal candi- dates by large majorities. Daniel Frank Goddard was reelected and Felix Cobbold defeated Charles Dai- rymple who for several years has rep resented Ipswich in the conservative interest. Ipswich was the only Dor. I ough which boiled today. For the last ten years the borough has returned one conservative and one liberal. One of the remarkable features or the campaign is the extraordnary number of seats handed over to the lln- erals without any attempt of the union l ists to contest them. This is attributed l III COnSGTNatlVe ClTCicS tU IHC VI NN'Aaes l that the liberals will win the election, I it being argued that it Is better to re- serve the conservative strength for q later struggle. which is anticipated 1 after the liberals have held ofhce TOT | a year or two. There is, however, great uncertainty, on all sides as to the extent of the liberal victory. The liberal enthusiasts claim that their par ty will have a working majority inde- pendent of the Irish nationalists but I more conservative estimates give Pre- miier Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman q majority of only sixty or seventy, leaving the Irish nationalists the bali ance of power.
 Athur j. Balfour's seat. East Man | chester, apears endangered. Vim ] ston charchill's amazing vitality and enthusiasm have spread beyond his l own division (Oldham. near Manches- ter,) and have infected the whole city of Manchester. 3@ .
 There Is little betting on the result as the earlier relations on which the
 fate of such important candidates as MT Balfour, George Wlndham, teon- servative, Doyer,); Sir Gilbert Parker
 (conservative, Gravesend,) and Win
 ston Churchill, all of whose contests
 take place tomorrow, are liable to have
 widespread influence on the voters in

SUCCESSOR OF HARPER.
Roosevelt wanted as President of ChfcaEO University.

Chicago, H., Jan. 12.-Talk of elect ing President Roosevelt as the success sor of the late President Harper at the head of the Chicago University has be- come strong in university circles. It is declared to have been one of the hopes of Dr. Harper during the last month of his life that way could be cleared to have President Roosevelt take the head of the university at the conclusion of his Presidential term. To bring this about it would be neces- sary to alter the constitution of the university which declares that only a Baptist may be the president Presi- dent Roosevelt worships m the Dutch Reformed Church.
 It has been definitely decided that the final resting place of President Harper shall be in memorial chap ter to be erected on the university campus. Until the completion of the chapel the body will remain in the vault at Oakwood cemetery.

JOHN RYBIN is BOUND OVER
Albright saloon Keeper Held for
Buying RevOIvers from United
states Soldier.

John Rybin, a saloonkeeper of Albright
was given a preliminary hearing before
United States Commissioner Anderson
Thursday morning for the alleged pur-
chase OF six revolvers from a soldier at
Fort Crook early in February. Rybin was
bound over to the federal grand jury in
the sum Of $780, His defense was that he
did not know that revolvers were govern
ment property, and that he did not know
that 1t was unlawful to purchase such
things from soldiers. The pistols were re-
covered by the government having been
voluntarily surrendered by Rybin to the
chief OF police Of South Omaha, upon his
learning that It was against the law to
have them in his possession
Judge Ben s. Baker. who defended Rybin.
said during the hearing:
ut is not generally known that the pur-
chase Of arms and clothing and other ar
ticles belonging TO the government from
soldiers is a penitentiary offense, and ]
wish some of the Omaha papers would give
this fact publicity in order to put people
on their guard against innocently commit
ting a penal offense. According to the stat
utes IL is also an offense to have govern
ment property in ones possession unless
the possessor can conclusively show he
came by the property legally
More or less soldiers, or ex-soldiers. are
always in or about Omaha or South Omaha
and some of these may be but recently dis
charged and can tell a plausible story
about the property they seek to dispose of
as being their own. and the purchasing
party does not always know they are lying

DEPOT WILL Be ENLARGED
Webster Street Station Must Be Made Big
Enough for Increased Business.
NO MORE PASSENGER TRAINS THERE
They VIII PatrOnize Union station
and Old Depot with Addition
he Used Exclusively
for Freight.

Important Improvements will be made by
the Chicago. st, Paul, Minneapolis <
Omaha road at the Webster street station
and work will begin at once, the plans
having all been prepared. All passenger
trains now run into that station will be
diverted to the Union Pacific tracks and
run to the Union station and the present
station will be turned into an exclusive
freight depot.
The present station will be- enlarged and
extended until ii will be 35x5O feet Of brick
for receiving freight and another new
building, also OF brick, 5OOxS5 feet will be
constructed to be used forwarding
station.
These improvements have beeii-in con-
temptation for some time as the growing
needs of the stations demanded something
be done at once to accommodate the busi-
ness. The Omaha road has been using this
station, as we'll as the Missouri Pacific, as
a passenger station for some of it's trains
which will be diverted to the Union sta
ton.
The sum OF $4,000 will be expended upon
these improvements including the change
in trackage which will be necessary. The
Burlington was recently forced to make
separate departments for receiving and for.
warding freight, and this change was neces-
STATED by the largely increasing volume
Of business which is going in and ont from
Omaha.
The division Offices of the Omaha road
will not be moved.
