San Francisco, Oct. 2O.-The
Young China Association here,
which claims to be receiving dis
patches over secret wire from near
Hankow although communication
with that city has been severed, stat
ed today that battle fought along
the Hankow railroad yesterday re-
suited in heavy losses to the imperial
troops with 1000 of the emperor's
men killed and hundreds wounded.
They were enroute to reinforce the
troops defending the city. Rebel
losses are stated at less than 200
men killed and wounded.
Hankow is said to be entirely sur
rounded by the advancing revolutions
lists, and another attack is expected
before more government troops ar
rive.
Imperial arms are thought to have
lost the general in command of Ping
Chow Flu, although the truth of this
report cannot be authenticated.
The district of Wong Chow Flu, in
Hupeh province, Is said to have been
captured by the rebels, Many are
said to have been wounded but the
exact number of the dead is not stat
ed.

Hall of Records, Los Angeles, Cal,
Oct. 20.-C. B. Manning, a farmer,
Democrat in politics, and F. D. Green
a real estate dealer and ranch owner,
a progressive Republican, became ell
igible today for service on the jury
which will try James B. Mcnamara
for the murder of Charles Haggerty
in connection with the destruction of
the Los Angeles Times building on
October l, 1911.
Both men were passed for cause
by the state at this mornings session
of the court. They can now only be
removed from the jury box by the
exercise of peremptory challenges by
either side. In the case of Manning
it is believed he will be on the origin
al jury, inasmuch as he admitted a
prejudice to circumstantial evidence,
but even with that prejudice the state
refused to challenge him for cause
There will be no session of the
court tomorrow, as Judge BOrdwell
desires to read over the record in the
cases of the veniremen now in the
box against whom challenges have
been interposed. Three of these are
on behalf of the defense and two for
the state. In addition the defense has
laid foundation for the challenging
of still another.
When court reopened this after
noon only four occupants of the jury
box remained eligible for examination
by the state, two vacancies having
been created through the elimination

One thing which has already been
absolutely demonstrated is that many
veniremen are opposed to circum-
stantial evidence where the death
penalty is involved. This single OBJ
lection is certain to greatly hamper
the attorneys in qualifying a jury.

WARNER VALLEY
STOCK COMPANY
TROUBLE ENDS

Attorney-General Crawford today
returned from Lakeview, where he
effected a final settlement between
the state and the Warner Valley Stock
company, concerning whose lands
there has been continual litigation
in the state and federal courts and
the United States land department
for the last 26 years.
According to the settlement the
state secures $500 acres OF land, the
settlers little over 5000 acres and
the balance, about 10000 acres, goes
to the company. The company pays
the expenses in connection with all of
the litigation, amounting to about
$500.
This brings to an end one Of the
bitterest feuds in the history OF Ore
gon--a feud which lasted for more
than a score Of years, and in which
several lives were sacrificed.

CHECK
SHOWS UP IN
SALEM SALOON

That the forgery of the pay checks
of the North Bank road are vast in
their extent was evidenced by the
fact that yesterday Geo. ORGY, a bar
tender in the Dick Madison saloon,
was presented with one of the checks
but having read of the wholesale for
geries in the newspapers, he de-
clined to honor it.
The North Bank road uses a speci-
fic kind of a check in paying off its
employees. Clever forgers secured
duplicates of them and succeeded in
passing checks aggregating thou
sands and thousands of dollars in
Seattle and Tacoma. Some of the
checks were presented in Portland,
but the first to reach this city, so far
as known, was presented at the Mad
ison bar yesterday.

One OF the projects involved is the

Pasadena, Cal, Oct. 2O.-After
safely completing the first lap of his
journey, Aviator Robert G. Fowler
arose early today and went to Tour
nament Park to prepare for the sec
ond days flight.
A heavy fog hung over the valley
this morning and Fowler said he
would not start until it lifted. His
machine was in excellent shape and
he expected no difficulty once the
weather cleared. Fowler's route to-
day led directly east from Pasadena
along the Southern Pacific tracks to
point north of Banning, thence
turning southwark to that village,
where he said he would alight. Con-
oitions there, he said, would deter
mine his progress further.
Fowler expressed confidence in his
ability to cross the desert, and de-
eiared he would defy the hoodoo that
apparently had followed him since
MS first attempt.

Boston, Oct. 2O.-The warrant
charging Richeson with first degree
murder was issued at 11:25 o'clock
by Judge Duff in the criminal court

cation Of Richeson by William Hahn,

Within a short time after his ar
rest Richeson was arraigned for pre-
liminary hearing. He pleaded not
guilty.
Hahn declares that he has known
Richeson for years. He said that on
October 10, Richeson came to his
drug store and said that he had a
dog at home creating a disturbance,
and wished to kill it. Hahn ex-
pressed surprise, saying that he did
