THE FISHER CASE
American Consul Refuses 10 Rec. 0Qnjze the Russian Admin,
 istrati0n at Harbin

Berlin, April 9.--With reference to the Fisher incident at lIarbin, the Associated Press was authorized to- day to declare that the assertion that the German consul at ilafbin had received instructions to side ith either the Russian or the Ameri can consul was incorrect. F. D. Fis.er, the American consul at Harbin, has consistently refused since his arrival there to recognize the Russian ad- ministration of this territory and he has been firm in his assertion that he was credited solely to Ch'na. Furthermore he has supported the protests of China against the es>ab- lishment by Russia of municipalities in the railroad zone at Harbin and Chailar independent of !he Chit ese government. His attitude in .his matter prompted Russia to seek ar explanation of his course at Wish ington. The statement that the fer man consul at Harbin had sided 'Tith MT Fisher against the demandi O. the Russian authorities originated in St Petersburg. The German co lsul had reported the case to Berlin and the question is now under cOnsidara- tion, but no instructions have yet been sent him. Nevertheless the i'm pression was conveyed That Ger many would adopt position not un- favorable to the course pursued by Mr Fisher.

 With Japs and Americans
SORRY IT HAPPENED

Straight. the American consul general there was an excitable man, given to exaggerating trifles and difficult to deal with. Otherwise the legation mlnlmlZed the occurrence and deplOred it. A court of inquiry has been order ed by NJ. Kato, the Japanese consul general at Mukden and full report will not be submitted to either Wash lngton or Pekin. pending the report of this court. 1t is hoped that this in- Nestisation will lead to an acceptable explanation and proper reparation.

Young Man Who Bas Relatives Here Was Beaten By
 Robbers.

The Joseph Cassidy concerned in the following story is thought to be a nephew of Mrs Mary E. Cassidy ot S91 East Main street. The young man has often visited in this city. Although Mrs Cassidy has not received any word to the effect that it was her nephew who was assaulted, her daughter said to-day that it might possibly be he, as when they last heard from him he was working in cigar store

AS a result of the assault Cassidy is now at his home with a broken wrist and a possible fracture of the skull.
 The three men entered the store when the clerks back was turned and attacked him with blackjacks in an attempt to get possession of $900, the days receipts, in the cash regis ter. Cassidy resisted them stoutly but was beaten unmercifully and would have been killed if help had not arrived. The assailants fled, but two of them, Frederick Griffin and Edward Haywood, were caught by the police.

BARRY'S PLEDGES
Chicago Man Signed Two 50 That He Might Bave Chance
 10 Break One.

Chicago, April 9.--The value and convenience of signing the separate pledges to abstain from indulgence in alcoholic liquors were demon strated yesterday in one of the hearings before the police trial board. The members of the civil service commission often have sought to account for the prevalence of double pledges in the police de- partment but never had satisfac- tory explanation been offered. Pat rick Barry, a patrol wagon driver, was on trial on charges of intoxica' tion and making false official re- port. In proof of his total absti- hence from the use of liquor Barry submitted documentary evidence 1R the shape of pledge he had signed some time ago. Inspector McCarr also produced pledge which Barry had given him personally.
 Why were two pledges secured? asked Commissioner Mckinley.
 T caught Barry drinking ssome time ago. explained the Inspector. T found he had signed two pledges. Barry excused his condition by ex- plaining that he had signed two pledges and thought it would no no harm to break one of them.
 Thereby keeping the 1,ner in tact, ,"~ observed Mir Mckinley.
 The commission discha 'Ged Barry from the service.
