N “On Tuesday, May 24, about 8:30 o'clock, I came home after sleeping on a steam roller all night,” he said, “and went upstairs to sleep some more. I had only got to sleep when my mother came upstairs and told me to get up, | and if 1 did not get up she would throw me downstairs. “My mother grabbed hold of me to throw me downstairs, but I threw her first and she fell to the bottom. I went downstairs and found that her head was twisted to.one side. I then saw that she was dead, and then I straightened her neck and covered her up with a cover from my bed.” After concealing the motionless form of his mother the boy went to | a neighbor’s with his tale of how she had left him alone while she went visiting to Philadelphia. It was not until the following Sunday that sus- picion was finally aroused and the body was discovered.

He displayed three cheap watches which, he said, he bought, and when asked if his mother had not had a considerable sum of had | money in the house he admitted that | she had $50. e .

The Fifth Regiment, | which was.posted on this spot, stood its ground heroically. The fire of this regiment, as -well as that of our bat- teries and the'gunboat Bobr, off Khou- noucza, inflicted enormous losses on the Japanese. “Our losses amounted to thirty offi- cers 'and 700 men killed or wounded.

Russian General Awake to Fact That Japanese Are Strategists. NEWCHWANG, June 3, morning.— Every -effort on the part of the Rus- sians-to communicate with the south- ern part of the Liaotung Peninsula has resulted in failure. The Japanese are in control of all avenues of communica- tion and they allow no messages to pass. With the exception of the au- thorities, the Russians in Newchwang are daily growing more depressed at the outlook. One officer of high rank, who has -arrived here from Mukden, spoke as follows concerning General Kuropatkin. “He s awaking to the fact that the Japanese are worthy of praise,” said this officer. “He declares that their recent operations prove them'to be among the greatest strategists in the world, and to this must be added great daring, capacity-for work and “ability to stand punishment. The general did not believe this before, but now it has been demonstrated.” The mills at Harbin are being worked day and night in grinding Manchurian wheat, and their daily output is esti- mated conservatively at 750,000 pounds of flour. The Russian authorities are encouraging the ‘farmers to plant larger crops than ever before. They are not depending on the trans-Siberian Railroad for the transportation of sup- plies. ¢ ey ) MILLIONAIRE FORCIBLY SECURES HIS CHILDREN Philanthropist Phipps Takes His Two Daughters From Their Mother's New York Home.

Littrell, a son, was appointed administrator on the showing being made that there was no will. He and a brother, Francis J. Littrell, bought out the interests of three other children in the estate, as all had shared alike in the distribution. All went well until recently when Mrs. Anna Bidwell, a sister of the two men, alleged in court that there was a will and had John J. Littreli cited to ap- pear and produce the instrument. The hearing came up to-day and Francis Littrell, who- recently fell out with his brother John, took the stand and testi- fied that two days after their mother’s death he and John went over her papers and found a will, by the terms of which John was bequeathed but 3$5. he testifled, and he, the witness, had never seen it since. For interests of his own, the natute of which he did not confide to the court, the witness kept the exist- ence of the will a secret, but said that his conscience has been bothering him and he wanted to make a clean breast of the entire affair, even if he had to go to State prison for it. John Littrell testified that Mrs. John Littrell, his wife, was with Francis and he when they went over their mother’'s papers and that no will was found. Mrs. John Littrell corroborated the testimony of her husband. Judge Head found at the conclusion of the hearing that Mrs. Anna Littrell had left a will, but that it is not in possession of John Littrell, which means that if the heirs who are anxious to have the will produced can show the contents of the instrument they IS the document. ———————— ELOPES ON THE EVE OF uER GRADUATION enteen-Year-Old Girl Leaves Her Parents’ Home in Escondido to Wed a Liveryman.

The report was adopted. It provides that the executive boards of the American Federation of Labor and the American Labor Union be asked to join with the Western Federa- tion of Miners in a conference for-amal- gamation, and that all national and international labor organizations be in- vited to send representatives to the conference. The call for this confer- ence will' be issued by the executive board of the Western Federation of Miners “at an opportune time.” The abolition of the transfer card was brought up for consideration at the afternoon session, and a heated debate of nearly two hours ensued. The cham- pions of the present system were united in their opposition to any radical change, and the delegates who held the opposition were animated by a fervor none the less genuine in their contention that the method now in vogue be re- voked. A vote was at length taken, and though a majority of the delegates put themselves on record against the trans- fer card, the constitutional two-thirds was lacking. The old system will there- fore be maintained.
