The Call this morning presents a frank l statement of the situation by | General Kodama, chief of the | Japanese general staff, who | | planned the operations for the capture of the Russian strong- hold and is directing them from the headquarters of General Nogl. Kodama's confidence is illustrated by his remark, as he outstretched his closed hand, “I hold Port Arthur here.” He declares that the Japanese will winter in the forts now manned by Stoessel's warriors. The confidence of the Japan- ese strategist, however, is not shared by war correspondents who have been closely follow- ing the progress of the siege. The latter report that the en- | tire line of Russian forts is in- tact and express the belief that Stoessel may hold out until re- lief reaches him. Slavs Repulse ] Series of On- slaughts.

Frank Krupa was brought before Justice McCormick in Shamokin, Pa., charged with having been disorderly. The evidence was clear and the prison- er was sentenced to thirty days in jail, whereupon he began to curse the court. His Honor calmly kept tally on his blotter the number of vaths Krupa uttered and found that they numbered sixty. The State law provides a fine of sixty-seven cents for each, making a total of $40 20. When told he would have to pay that amount for his swear. ing the prisoner began cursing again. The Justice, when Krupa said he had no money, added sixty days to the orig- inal sentence, making it one day per oath. Then his Honor picked up his pencil expectantly, but Mr. Krupa had enough und kept quiet as he was led away to jail.—Chicago Chronicle. e e Porto Rico—which pays for neither army nor navy—is the most lightly taxed country on earth.

The Great Kidney Remedy, Swamp Root, strengthens the kidneys and through them helps all the WOMEN suffer untold misery because the nature of their disease is not always correctly understood; in many cases when doctoring they are led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for their ills, when in fact disordered kidneys are the chief cause of their distressing troubles. amp-Root a Blessing to Women My kidneys and bladder gave me great trouble for over two months and I suffered un- N ) i ies £ AvsTiv 137 told misery.

The final eeting of the oil companies that are to make up the Producers’ Independent Agency is to be held in this city to- | morrow at the new office building, the | Ol Exchange. When Chairman M. V.: McQuigsg calls the meeting to order to- morrow the agreements which have | been drawn up for the signatures of | the producers will be signed by those | who have decided to cast their fortunes with the agency. The agreement was drawn at the meetings held in San Francisco and in this city under the direction of Attorneys Franklin K. Lane and George Lane. The idea of entering into a contract with the several companies forming | the organization has been carefully avoided for the reason that such con- | tracts cannot be enforced. But accord- ing to the plan evolved each company leases his property and his oil the central organization, which constitutes the sales agency. This sales agency immediately gives back to each com- pany the same rights and privileges | that it has at the present time to oper- | ate its property and produce its oil. By this plan all of the oil produced by. each member of the organization will be compelled to pass through the agency and will be sold at such prices only as are fixed by the board of direc- to‘r:s‘; to this time no salaries have been paid to any officer of the independent, but naturally there will be expenses in operating its extensive business. Pro- vision is made for meeting these ex- penses by a clause providing for a tax of two cents on each barrel of the product handled, the tax to go into a sinking fund. After the expenses are met from this sinking fund any bal- ance remaining on hand will be dis- posed of annually as a dividend, paid to the several members of the organiza- tion pro rata, according to the amount of oil that the association has shandled for each producer. The independents to-day received cir- cular letters from San Francisco in- timating that an amount in excess of twenty-five cents can be secured for their oil in the not distant future and requesting the companies to withhold thelr signatures at the meeting to be held to-morrow. It is not expected that this eleventh hour communication will have any weight with the producers, who have been offered 12% cents for oil and now see before them a certainty of 25 cents, with a future prospect for the industry that looked so unpromis- ing a few months since. ————————————— ‘End Comes to General Terrell.

AREINADEQUATE Secretary of the State Board of Health Makes Recom- dations in Official Report e Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 22.—In an of- ficial report filed to-day Dr. N. K. Fos- ter, secretary of the State Board of | Health, says: “Typhoid fever has in- creased to a considerable extent and is quite prevalent throughout the | State. In locations in which it exists | the water supply should be examined, for it is in the water the disease is generally found to originate.” He rec- ommends that all water should be boiled before using until the purity of the supply is established. Dr. Foster says the laws governing the State Board of Health were passed in the early '70's and are not adapted to present needs. At the present tim the Board of Health has no authority to enforce the reporting of vital sta- tistics and as everything is optional the results are of little use. “To modernize our laws,” says Dr. Foster, “and to make possible the good work which the State Board of Health can do we have drawn acts which will be presented to the coming Legislature.” —————— PRISONER BELIEVED TO BE THE MONEY ORDER FORGER Man Arrested in Santa Monica for | Raising Currency May Have Long Record. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22.—In the man shot and arrested by Officer Calk- ins at Santa Monica several weeks ago on the charge of passing “raised” cur- rency the United States secret service officers believe they have the much- wanted money forger who has operated on the Paclific Coast from Seattle to San Diego. The prisoner gave his name as James Mathiason. His wounds, re- ceived while attempting to escape at Santa Monica, have kept him in the hospital some time, but he has recov- ered and is awalting a Learing before the United States Commissioner. Secret Service Agent Cronin, who had been working on the money order forgeries, now believes that in Mathia- son the *Government has the man sought for. He says Mathiason fits the description sent out from Washington by the Postoffice Department of the money order forger. Besides, Cronin has discovered that the prisoner wore a paif of shoes bought in San Diego with a forged money order. —_—— Thanksgiving Day at Santa Cruz.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22.—Maris Russell, aged 14, daughter of M. D. Russell of 631 West Sixteenth street, died late to-night from the effects of a large dose of strychnine, salf admin- Istered with suicidal intent. The child had purchased the poison early in the evening and going to her room took enough to kill a dozen persons. She was found in convulsions by her mother, who summoned a physicion, but it was then too late to save her life. The members of the family refuse to | 8ive the slightest inkling of what the | &irl's motive was, and there is no con- firmation of the statement by neighbors that the child chose death rather than submit to the treatment which was ac- corded her. She was of an extremely sensitive disposition, and for several days had seemed to be in great troubls. At the Russell residence all requests for information were met with a gruft refusal to say anything. The Coroner took charge of the body and stated to-night that he will sum- | mon all the members of the family, and all the neighbors if necessary, to solve the mystery. —— The massed navies of the world in- clude 560 battleships, 471 cruisers, 1255 gunboats and 1600 torpedo craft.
