BELITTLE THE CAPTURE. Russian Critics on Recent Taking of Fort at Port Arthur. St. Petersburg, Dec. 22.—DMilitary eritics here do not attach vital im- portance to the capture of the north fort of Keekwan mountain. They de- clare it is not part of the main line of defenses of Port Arthur and, there- fore, is without divect influence on the fate of the fortr Says Syveton Was Murdered. Paris. Dec. 22.—M.

Former Minneapolis Police Superin. tendent a Free Man. St. Paul, Dec. 22.—Fred W. Ames, the former Minneapolis police super- intendent, who was sentenced two yeais ago to serve six and a half years for accepting a bribe, was granted an unconditional pardon at a special meeting of the pardon beard held at | the capitol during the afternoon. Mrs. Ames, the plucky wife of the prisoner, who has worked unceasingly for his release since the day he was sentenced. was at the capitol awaiting the action of the board and when the news of the pardon was conveyed to her in the governor's private office the joyous shock was so great that she fainted. Fred W. Ames was convicted of hav- ing received a bribe on Dec. 1, 1902, but the case was appealed to the su- preme court and it was not until July 10, 1903, that he commenced serving his term. His conviction grew out of the famous Minneapolis scandal cases, which resulted in indictments being returned against his brother, Mayor A. A. Ames, and a number of other men connected with the Ames administra- tion. MAKING I;f MANSLAUGHTER. ta Law on Killing Man fer a Deer. St. Paul, Dec. 22.—A state law mak- ing it manslaughter in the first degree for a hunter to kill a man, mistaking him for a d-er, is recommended by the staie game and fish commission, which adopted its annual report to Governor S. R. Van Sant. The report calls at- tention to the large number of deaths each year resulting from the careless- ness of hunters and expresses the opinion that a law of this kind would rednce the number of such accidents to a mimimum. “The public is becoming aroused be- cause of the deaths from accidents by careless ‘hunters,” says the report “While Minnesota has fared well as compared with some of her sister states, still the accidents are alto- gether too numerous and our board is of the opinion that a law ought to be passed making it a penitentiary of- fense, manslaughter in the first de- gree, for one man to kill ancther in the woods, mistaking him for a deer, and that the defense that such killing was an accident ought not to be considered in the trial.” BITTER GHAPTER ENDS RUSSIAN OFFICIALS ADMIT PAR: TIAL WRECKING OF PORT ARTHUR WARSHIPS. MEEDS SAILORS AND HEAVY GUNS GENERAL STOESSEL SAYS FOR. TRESS WOULD FALL ONLY FOR SHIPS' AID. Bt. Petersburg, Dec. 22.—While de- elining to give details the admiralty admits that Russian advices from Port Arthur sent by General Stoessel sub- stantially confirmed the Japanese ad- vices of the partial wrecking of the Russian ships in the harbor and the censor has been instructed to permit the publication of the dispatches. It is claimed that several of the larger ships and a respectable number of tor- pedo boat destroyers are still seawor- thy, but they are not being considered as a factor in the coming fight between Admiral Togo’s ships and the Russian second Pacific squadron. The whole series of misfortunes which has at- tended the Port Arthur squadron is a bitter chapter in Russian naval annals, but since the arrival of the latest ad- vices there has been less disposition to criticise Rear Admiral Wiren’s fail- ure to make a sortie, General Stoessel having decided that further defense of the fortress would be impossible if the guns of the warkhips and the sailors landed were re-embarked. Had the ships been able to go out under the conditions existing they would have been at the mercy of the Japanese and have been sacrificed without hope of inflicting commensurate damage. If the fortress is relieved it is believed that most of the ships will be raised wnd saved. The reports that a Japanese squad- ron of forty vessels had already sailed to meet the second Pacific squadron is regarded at the admiralty here as being incorrect and circulated for a purpose. MOST EXTENSIVE OF THE WAR. Mobilization of Reserves in Seven Rus- sian Districts. St. Petersburg, Dec. 22.—Mobiliza- tlon of the reserves has been an- pounced in seven military districts. This is the third and most extensive mobilization of the war and will add about 200,000 men to the army in the Far East. It is thought that the whole force can be placed in the field by spring, when the problem of food and fuel will be more easily met and the transportation of the troops will create less stress upon the Transsiberian railway. It will bring General Kuro- patkin's effective force, roughly esti- mated, to 680,000 men. i The mobilization afiects a portion of about half the military districts of Russia. While some of the reserve men called to the colors will be used to complete the strength of the regi- ments going to the front by far the greater portion will be formed into re- serve units to replace troops which have already gone to the Far East. This year the conscripts taken number about 500,000 men, being about double the number usually called to the col ors. The number of young men an- nually liable to military service is over 800,000. The new mobilization will entail additional relief measures for the families of reserve men, which will probably be met by increasing the credits of the zemstvos. OF VITAL IMPORTANCE. Question of Ability of China to Hold Russians Seeking Refuge. Tokio, Dec. 22.—The examination of the cargo, passengers and crew of the British steamer Nigretia, which was seized by the Japanese cruiser Tsu- shima Dec. 19, is progressing at Sas- ebo. Seemingly it is undetermined whether parole breaking Russian offi- cers are on board the Nigretia. The Japanese are carefully investigating this feature of the case because of the question of the ability of the Chinese oificals to properly conduct the intern- ment of Russians who seek refuge at ports in China. It is considered vi- tally important. MAKES TASK EASIER. Capture of Fort Will Aid in Taking Keekwan Mountain. Headquarters of the Japanese Third Army Before Port Arthur, via Fusan, Dec. 22.—The capture of the north fort of East Keekwan mountain Dec. 1§ by the Japanese is of much impor- tance, because it opens a way up the gorge to the highest hills and will ren- der easier the capture of the moun- tain. It gives much additional foot- hold for a general assault on the west- ern half of the eastern fortified ridges. The Japanese now hold five of the seven protecting forts.

THURSDAY—— —THEZBEMIDJI DAILYGPIONE: ER— - DECEMBER 22 POSTMASTER GENERAL REMOVES OFFICERS OF RURAL CAR- RIERS’ ASSOCIATION. T00 ACTIVE DURING REGENT ELECTION DISCHARGED MEN SAID TO HAVE _MADE EFFORTS TO INFLU- ENCE LEGISLATION. ‘Washington, Dec. 22.—Postmaster General Wynne during the day re- moved two more rural carriers for al- leged efforts to influence legislation, the employes being H. E. Nivin of Berthoud, Colo., and J. W. Whitehead of Medina, O. Nivin is chairman of the executive board of the National Rural Carriers’ association. White- head also is a member of the exec- utive board and is secretary of the Ohio state organization of the carri- ers. The report on the investigation points out that Nivin’s plan was that the rural carriers in each state should look into the question of supporting the candidates for election or re-elec- tion to congress in their state and to such of these candidates as proved “true” to the carriers the association would pledge its support for any po- litical honors sought in the particular state. The correspondence indicates that Representative Overstreet of In- diana was a special target of attack by the carriers because he refused to give them any pledges or promises as chairman of the house committee on postoffices. FASHIONABLE CLUB' BURNS. Spark From Electric Wire Causes Loss of Building. ‘Washington, Dee. 22.—The Metro- politan clubhouse, the home of the most fashionable club in Washington, was gutted by fire during the day, in- volving an estimated loss of from $60-, 000 to $100,000, partially covered by insurance.

House Adjourns Over Holidays. ‘Washington, Dec. 22.—The house ad- Jjourned at 12:39 until Jan. 4, after Mr. Mann objected to unani % take up the inat COUNSEL FOR NAN PATTERSON ADDRESSES JURY IN PRIS- ONER'S BEHALF. BUILT OF MOST FLIMSY MATERIAL R, CASE OF PROSECUTION CALLED A FAILURE AND ACQUITTAL ASKED FOR. New York, Dec. 22.—The case of Nan Patterson, the former show girl charged with the murder of Caesar Young, will not go to the jury for an- other day. This announcement was made during the afternoon by Justice Davyis, who said that the physical con- dition of some of the jurors was such that they could not stand a night ses- sion. The entire forenoon session was taken up by Lawyer Abraham Levy, leading counsel for Miss Patterson, in the closing argument for the defense. As Assistant District Attornew Rand will speak three hours in closing for the prosecution it was evident that the charge to the jury would be de- ferred until morning. Upon the opening of court Mr. Un- ger, of counsel for the defense, re- newed his motion for Justice Dayvis to order the acquittal of Miss Patterson without further proceedings, but the court denied the motion and directed counsel to proceed with the argu- ments. Mr. Levy then began the clos- ing address to the jury for the de- fense. Mr. Levy impressed upon the jury the fact that Miss Patterson was not being tried for immorality. No woman becomes bad because of innate de- pravity, said he. She becomes bad because of the incentives of man and the weakness of her nature. If a man takes his life because of a love of her why punish her? If her soul was as black as-the gates of hell she was nevertheless entitled under the law to as fair treatment as if she were the sweetest and purest. Attorney Grows Dramatic. “You cannot bring back the dead,” said Mr. Levy, “but if Caesar Young were here today I think he would speak a few words for this poor girl he has made his plaything.” He argued that the whole case of the prosecution was constructed of the most flimsy material and that this, if nothing more, should raise a doubt in the minds of the jurors. Mr. Levy claimed that the prosecu- tion had failed utterly in its attempt to show that Miss Patterson had any motive to take Young’s life. On the other hand, it had shown that she had every reason to want him to live, He supplied her plentifully with money, ensuring her a life of ease and aflluance, and she loved him. The prosecution failed at a vital point in its case, he declared, in not being able to prove that Miss Patterson had a revolver. He maintained that it had been proved conclusively that she had no pistol and suggested that the man who purchased the weapon at Stern’s pawnshop might have been Young’s brother-in-law, Luce, and that the pis- tol might have been given Young by Luce when he saw him just before the fatal cab ride began. Quotes From the Bible. Mr. Levy read from the Bible the story of the meeting of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, concluding with Christ’s words to the woman: “Go and sin no more.” Then, pointing to the defendant, he said to the jurors: “Do not send her to her doom now ‘when the entire world is rejoicing. See, she sits there abandoned by all except that old man, her aged father. I leave her in your hands, confident that you will acquit her and restore her to her devoted old father at a time when everything proclaims ‘Peace on earth, good will to men.” I ask that you allow her to take him home to the aged wife and mother, who awaits them, and give her a chance to live a new life with them in her home.” The court was filled during the aft- ernodon when Assistant District Attor- ney Rand began his closing argument. Mr. Rand began by complimenting Mr. Levy on his plea for the client, say- ing: “If we did not listen to it with acquiescence we did at least with respect.” ANOTHER SATCHEL MISSING. Thought to Contain Valuables Belong- ing to Mrs, Chadwick. Cleveland, Dec. 22.—Still another satchel, one thought by Receiver Loe- ser to contain valuables belonging to Mrs. Chadwick, has been found to be missing, This developed in a short examina- tion of Mrs. Mary Londravis, Mrs. Chadwick's former housekeeper, held before Referee in Bankruptcy Reming- ton.

Attempt to Bribe Jury. = Portland, Ore., Dec. 22.—The Ore- gonian says that it has become known that the grand- jury which is investi- gating the land fraud charges has been approached for the purpose of in- fluencing its decisions.

Eoth men fought like tigers throughout the long mill, Nelson doing most of the leading. Britt’s superior skill earned him the decision, which was strictly on points.
