BOSTON. Auir. 18 General Tasker H.
BllfK and hl Invading army of the reds .
rested tonight at least flva milea nearer j
Boston than they were 1 houra asro. as
a result of today's operations In the war
frame.
The extreme left of the Massachusetts
army of defense, known as the blues,
under command of Brigadier-General
William A. Pew, were hammered unmer
cifully, so that the entire left winy w-as
forced to retreat. The blue army also
differed the losa of one battery and a
wagon train.
Far superior In actual numbers and In
cavalry, the red force swept down upon
the blues left and drove them first Into
one position and then another with Ir
resistible force. For the last three days
General Bliss has moved his army In
three divisions massed, with the full
trengrth of his cavalry on his left flank.
Cavalry Good Work.
The work of the cavalry arm was most
brilliant and of untold assistance. Prom
the beginning of the "war" the red troops
cf cavalry have practically done all the
lighting for General B'lss, and It was
only In the last hour of today's "battle"
that the infantry strength of the red
army waa ordered Into action.
While today" fighting forced General
, Pew to retreat and move his division
. headquarters from Robins Pond back to
Fouth Hanson, the engagement was re
garded as merely preliminary to a greater
'battle" that will be fought, probably to
morrow. General Pew endeavored this morning
to move bta right wing, the first bri
gade, by a retrograde movement from
its position in and around Brldgewater
' to a point cast of South Hanson, there
to reinforce the second brigade on the
left wing, which was facing the entire
red army. Forced marches were made
during the entire morning, but up to 1
P. M., the hour when fighting ceased,
they had not arrived in sufficient num
bers to be of any assistance.
Bllaa Changes Tactics.
While General Pew waa making this
endeavor General Bllsschanged his tao
tlcs and. forming his entire army in one
long single column, with the cavalry
well on his left flank, drove straight for
the blue extreme left. The forces met
at North Plympton, when the blues
had only the Fifth Regiment, part of
the first corps of cadets and Battery B.
Although the comparatively small force
of the blues made a bold stand, they
were driven back by superior numbers.
The blues made a stubborn .retreat,
making stand after stand to cover the
withdrawal of theiriagon train, which
was moving north as fast as possible
toward the main base at South Han
son. An attack on Boston was successfully
repulsed tonight. The attack was by
army transports, representing battle
ships, which attempted to land on Kan
tasket Beach. They were repulsed by
the Eighty-first Corps. Coast Artillery.

OPIUM HABIT SPREAD AROUND '

Fifth of Celestials In United States
Use Drug-: Habit Grows In
Philippines.
I OS ANGELES, Aug. 18. The feature
of today's session of the American Phar
maceutical "Association was the reading
of the report of the International Opium
Commission by Dr. Hamilton Wright, of
Washington. D. C, special agent of the
Government in Investigating the opium
traffic. Concerning the traffic in the
United States, he adds:
"Of all the Chinese In the United
States, at least 20 per cent are addicted
to the opium habit In some form or other.
The yearlv Importation of the drug
amounts to 1B1.000 pounds. Only a small
part of this is consumed by white people,
so that Jt would seem the Mongolian pop
ulation is mainly responsible for the
spread of the drug habit throughout the
world. Nevertheless, other Asiatics as
well as Caucasians use the drug in quan
tities. '
"The spread of the opium traffic in the
Philippine prior to March, 1903. when
laws were passed prohibiting the traffic,
was enormous. In 1S99 the importation
was S1.0U0 pounds; In 1900. 155.000 pounds,
and In WB. 23.000 pounds. Of the total
revenue of the islands in 190T, amounting
to more than" J17.000.000, JfiOO.000 was for
Import duties on opium.
"The appalling danger of the spread of
the traffic Is lust beginning to be real
ised, and all the governments of the world
are taking up means of abolishing the
traffic."

Hunter produced the company's records,
.showing entries of the payment of com
missions to Schively, and also a report he
said was made out and delivered- to
Schively when the latter retired as pres
ident. Hunter identified marginal notes
on this report to be In Schively s hand
writing. Perjury Evidence Adduced.
Then, getting down to the Perjury
charge proper, the State produced J. H.
Pelletler. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
of Spokane County, and Ben F. Da;
foreman of the grand Jury, who testified
that in the grand jury investigation of
the affairs of the insurance company
Schively had sworn there was no agree
ment between himself and W ard; that
he did not execute and deliver 812C0 In
notes to the president of the company,
that he had not paid the notes or ever
seen them; that he was not paid as pres
ident by Commission, but drew a rial
salary of 400 per month.
For the first time today the members
of ;the Senate exerted their prerogative of
submitting written questions to the wit
nesses. The following questions were sub
mitted to Mr. Schrock: . '
Written Questions Submitted.
Senator Cox Who paid the notes,
Schively or the company?
Answer The notes were paid by the
company and charged to Mr. Schively s
account. , .
Senator Stevens What was. that ac
count? . ...
. ,.&... .An.in wn credited With
Answer iua o v . . .
Tis commissions at the rate of 8 mills on
all business up to tJm.wJ-
Senator Cotterlll Did you see Schively
sigrrthe notes?
Answer I did. Schively signed first,
then the company signed .with a stamp
with my signature as general manager.
Senator Bassett Did the company sign
as the principal or as the lndorser?
Answer The company signed simply to
acquiesce in the transaction or to give
the deal Its O. K. The company signed

During the discussion of the notes, there
was a clash again today between Schlve
ly's counsel and I P. Page, manager. v
Mrr Edge declared at the time the
grand Jury was in session a search had
been made for the notes, but was unsuc
cessful. Not having them, he said all the
state could do was to produce testimony
concerning their existence.
Missing Notes Discussed.
"Some one from that side of the table
yesterday suggested that I ask my client
about them," said Schvlely's attorney,
"and I said I had done so and he told
me they never existed."

Schrock as to the fate of the notes. Mr.,
Schrock testified that If given proper ac
cess to the compariy's files in Spokane he
believed he could find the notes if they
had not been removed. He said the au
thorities there had not given him a suf
ficient opportunity to produce them. The
cancelled notes, he said, were turned over
to Charles Murray, the first receiver of
the company, but between the end of the
first receivership and the second the notes
were back In the possession of Schrock,
who testified he had them in his posses
sion about 90 days, keeping them in the
company's, safe. Thereafter they were
given over to the second receiver.
The company books produced by R. J.
Hunter tiave entries purporting to show
the payment to Schively In a period of
three months In 1906, of the sum of
t37.8o from which was deducted $351.80
paid to him for fees as Deputy Insurance
Commissioner. According to Schlvely's
statement that he received a flat salary
of $400 per month, his compensation for
the three months would have been. $1200.
Today's proceedings closed with the
testimony of Ben F. Davis. The state ex
pects to conclude its testimony Friday.

Measure Requiring Paid Lobbyists
ito Register Goes Down.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Aug. 18. (Special Cor
respondence.) Scant courtesy was given
a bill Introduced In the Senate today by
Bassett ofvAdams, designed to carry out
the Governor's recommendation that paid
lobbyists shall be required to register and
give the Identity of their employers.
After the bill had been read, the usual
motion to read a second time by title
and order It printed was defeated, the
Senate dividing on factiona lines. A mo
tion Indefinitely to postpone was defeated
also, but Senator Bassett, after making
a canvass of his colleagues, announced to
night he would not press the measure.
Sentiment, he said, was that the time
of the Senate was too fully occupied to
take up such legislation at this time.
The Piper resolution providing that
members not present at roll call each
day shall be in contompt of court was
enforced today as to Whitney of Spokane,
who was assessed $5 for being tardy this
morning.
