London, Jan. 15.-The eastern field
of war again resumes prominence
with the Russian offense by the Rus
slams in Bessarabia. Vienna now re-
ports that the Austrian lines have
been again attacked, but that the Rus
slams were repulsed. although, in great
numbers they advanced five times to
the assault. The Austrian artillery
proved deadly in stopping them.
1t is claimed by the Austrian war
office that since beginning of winter
operations in eastern Galicia and
Bessar bia, 500 Russians, including
thirty officers. have been taken pris-
oners. The Russians, also, have
claimed numerous captures, and have
declared that notable gains of ground
have been made during the operations
north of Czernowitz, along the rivers
Stripa and Styr.
The Austrians who at present are
the most actively engaged of any of
the belligerents, are pressing their
campaign against Montenegro and an

the southwestern frontier. which in
cluded the storming of Mount Lovcen
and the capture of Cettinje. The
Montenegrins are in retreat and are
suffering losses in immense numbers

The cruelty Of the deaths of the 10
Americans slaughtered by Villas ban

was brought home to Topekans at the
Rock Island depot last evening when
the bodies of George W. Newman and
Herman c. HHase passed through on
the Golden State Limited.
ase, who lived in Kansas City,
was flotation man for the Cusi Mining

beaten and sabered to death. The
bruises on his corpse show that he was
dubbed to death with the butt of

Newman was a mining engineer. His
home is at Keene, n. H. His body
has two bayonet wounds, a gun shot
wound, and many bruises from the
beating he received from his muir
derers.
r. B. Rawlings, of Ell Paso, Tex. a
travelling auditor for the Ell Paso &

of the bodies and he was taking them
to relatives. Mr. Rawlings did not
care to talk about the Mexican situa-

wrought up over the murders These

TRIM OFF FAT FEES

Stock Merchants.
PAP FOR WICHITA CONCERN
Insurance Company Put Pre-
MUM on Stock.
Proposed to Spend S225,0OO to
Float Issue.

Twenty-Five per cent for the sale of
stocks floated at two hundred per cent
premium, is too fat for even COM
mission merchant or soft spoken
stock salesman, according to the de-
cision today of the state charter board.
The decision was taken by the state
board in the case of the Guarantee
Bonding and Insurance company, a
Wichita corporation.
Before the charter board today,
promoters of the new insurance COM
pany asserted that they wanted to
establish surplus for their business
SO they proposed to float stock issue
Of 100000. which was to be sold for
800 per cent, or 100000. They pro-
posed to pay brokers twenty-five per
cent of tho entire amount, for handling
the issue-or S225,00OO for selling the
stock of the company.
1t Looked Too Soft.
When the proposition came before
the charter board the members looked
serious. They couldn't understand
why the stock should be boosted to
three hundred per cent. With it all,
they couldn't understand why such
premiums should be paid the brokers
if the company really earned divi-
dends on three times the face value
of its stock issue. S. NJ. Brewster. at

Fortunes for Americans.
Many fortunes await Americans in
their own country by exploiting val
aable drug substances contained in
the dandelion roots, jimson weed and
corn silk, was a declaration made this
morning by Professor L. D. Haven
hill of the pharmacy department of
the university at Lawrence, in an ad-
dress delivered before the Academy of
Science at Memorial hall at it's annual
meeting. Exploitation of these valu-
able substances in the present Ameri-
can pests would not only make purses
cumbersome but would make America
Independent in obtaining drugs from
Europe for which such high prices are
demanded. Much capital is involved
and several years will eIapse before
this is done, he said.

Havenhill, that the roots of the
dandelion contain medicinal sub
stances which are worth 25 cents a
pound if the roots are dried and prop

the men of this country can prepare
them in a certain way and sell them
for pharmaceutical use at the same
high price Hungary is selling them to
the United States for at this time.

hundred employers of labor asking
their judgment as to the annual
amount necessary to maintain a self
supporting woman in frugal, but re-
spectacle condition in their respective
communities. information as 10 WORK
ing hours and hygienic conditions is
also sought from the employers. Added
to this information Miss Bresette has
gathered reports from more than 1000
working girls concerning their weekly
wage, hours of employment and
amount spent for actual and necessary
living expenses. In a number of in
stances the reports showed that the
girls spent more money than their
regular wage and that they were in

BY CHARLEs p. sTEWART.

day. American delegates rushed
madly about, packing trunks and
making final sightseeing jaunts pre-
paratory to their departure for
America aboard the liner Rotterdam.
tonight. They will leave for Rotter-
dam late this afternoon.
Several of the Ford lieutenants are
remaining in Holland to help start the
permanent peace tribunal on its way.
No session will be held for several
weeks. The Scandinavian countries
have not named their members and
no word of acceptance has come from
William Jennings Bryan, Miss Jane
Adams or Ford himself, who were
elected American members.
Quarrel Over Election.
The Schwimmer and anti-Schwim-
fight over the positions on the per-
manent tribunal. 1t is considered
probable that neither Bryan, Miss
Adams nor Ford VIII accept, and the
scramble is over the cnoice of three of
the five alternates elected yesterday to
take their places.
Besides the Is mo mberS of the per-
manent peace tribunal-five each
from Holland. Norway. Sweden, Den
mark and the United States-eight-
cen other Ford employees, including
stenographers and advisers, will re-
main in Holland at Ford's expense. 1t
is estimated that the tribunal which
Ford hopes will arrive at a peace pro-
gram, will cost him $4,000 a week.
DR. Charles F. Aked of San Fran
