BATTLE SEVERE 8 HOURS

valdivostok, April 5.-(A. P.)-
Japanese troops today occupied Vlad
ivostok, after eight hours of severe
fighting in all parts Of the city.
The japanese imperial flag is fly
ing in the place OF the Russian en-
sign from all government buildings.
Some of the officials of the revo-
lutionary region have already been
arrested and deported. Russians
have been disarmed.
Throughout last night the Japa-
nese fought with rifles, machine guns,
grenades and small artillery in all
portions of the CITY, Their lncessant
firing met little opposition, as the
Russians were taken by surprise, the
Japanese moves towards occupation
having been unexpected by the party
in power.
Many Russians escaped into the
hill country behind the city, whence
they had come two months ago,
when the all-Russian government of
Admiral Kolchak fell before the at
lacks of a revolutionary army.
Yesterday the Japanese launched
their attack in the Korean quarter,
which they occupied. Later they
marched Korean and Russian troops,
tied with ropes, through many streets
Of the city.
The last of the American eXpedi-
tionary force, under Brig. Gen. Will
liam S. Graves, left Vladvostol1
April J.. A few hours subsequent to
their departure a proclamation was
posted throughout the city stating

Siberia at the present time. The
proclamation warned all inhabitants

increased hourly since that time un-
til the clash today.

 This is but half of the repair work, for in going over the bridge, the engineers found t to be badly frac- tured in many points and it was deemed necessary to gut out the con crete work of the supporting structure as well as the floor of the bridge, at several points. in order to properly re inforce and to provide the proper eN- pansion joints.

in two ways: First. that the bridge IS being utilized for traffic while under going repair, and second. that the structure is capable of being repaired at all.
 In order to proceed with the repair work without interfering with the traf- fic elaborate preparations had to be made by the state engineering forces. and many intricate problems are pre- sented in the tasks which have been accomplished and which remain to be performed.
 The principal defect in the. Tempe bridge. is the pier which stands mid stream of the present channel. Ever since last Thanksgiving day, this pier has given evidence of being under mined. and with each successive flood stage. there was a continual sagging together with deflection down stream.
 How to remove this sag, which now registers twelve inches-how, in other words. to raise dead weight of 300 tons. and still not interfere with traf- fic. is the seemingly impossible tasl which eonfronts the state highway de partment.

PLAN MORE OSTRICH PLUMEs

An effort is being made by South
African ostrich farmers to increase
the plume quills of ostriches. and Pro-
fessor Deverden believes this can be
done by as much as % per cent. but
w. P. Pycraft. the great English nat
uralist. is skeptieal.
The number of plumes from each
wing averages sc. and occasionally
runs as high as AZ in the South Afri-
can species and 80 in the North Afri-
can. The latter is the larger bird
and Its bones are denser The Groot-
fonteiD School of Agriculture Is trying
by proper mating to breed a race of
~ plume birds.
Professor Pycraft writes in the Illus

tor of the ostrich undoubtedly pos

along the forearm, probably did not
