amazement, horror and despair upon the,

Then, as the magazines ground out their

to surge backward, tried to save them
selves In flight. It was awful! the rifles
made no smoke to hide, the hideous spec

the magnitude of the confusion prevented
retreat or retaliation. The little Japan

their feet and redoubling the rapidity of
their fire. "With blanched cheek and set
teeth the foreigner watched this terrific
curtain to the bloody drama in which
he had participated. He saw the white
tunics melting into the mud like snow
under a .sleet shower. He saw a mad
rush toward the cornstalks balked by
tne intensity or the fire. He saw such of
the Russians as remained upon their feet

stretch out their naked hands toward
the rifles that were annihilating them.

who wired his request to the President
direct.
For some time there has been friction
in the District Attorney's office, and since
the close of tho Puter-Watson trial Mr.
Hall has had nothing whatevor to do
with the conduct of the cases now being
investigated by the Government and the
grand Jury.
Just what the trouble Is has not been
learned, but It has been noticed that Mr.
Hall was falling Into tho background, as
far as. active participation In the conduct
of the investigation was concerned, and
much comment has resulted from the
fact.
It has been rumored that the friction
was on personal grounds, that Mr. Hall
did not relish 'the Idea of Mr. Heney's
coming to Portland, taking the lead" In
the cases and appropriating all of the
credit for the convictions that were ob
tained. This, however, did not seem to
have foundation in fact, for the reason
that Mr. Hall had a largo share in the
conduct of the first case, the only one
tried.
- Close Ties With Accused.
It Is now rumored, however, that the
cause of the action was the too great
friendship of the District Attorney for
those "who were being involved in the
case: that he could not. being under obli
gations to many of them and having ties
of friendship to them, carry on the cases
against them. It is further asserted that
he has not been as active In the prosecu
tion of the cause of the Government as
one In his office should be. and that It Is
upon these grounds that Mr. Heney asked
for his removal.
Mr. Heney was seen last night before
he left for California and was asked what
he would say In regard to the removal of
the attorney.
Mr. Heney's Statement.
"I have no statement to make," he said.
except that Mr. Hall was reappointed
upon my personal recommendation and
request, because I thought that it was
not fair to ask him. or to expect him to
go Into the prosecution of the- cases I
knew to be pending, without some assur
an co that he would not have to depend
upon the support and recommendation of
the Oregon delegation for his office.
"Also, since I had charge of the cases
and would perhaps get a good deal of the
credit for any convictions which might
come, I thought that it would be but
right for Mr. Hall to have the office given
to him permanently before the prosecu
tlons were begun.
"At that time," continued Mr. Heney,
'I believed absolutely in Mr. Hall's loy
alty to the Government and was willing
to give him all the possible credit in the
conduct of tho cases.
"I was authorized to give Mr. Hall the
assurance that he would be appointed
after the election, and ho received his
notice the day following that event.
"Mr. Hall was removed," concluded Mr.
Heney, "at my request, and for reasons
which I considered amply sufficient to
Justify the action. Further than that I
do not wish to discuss the matter at this
flme."
Hall Will Disprove Charge.
Mr. Hall, when seen at his home last
night, did not wish to discuss his re
moval.
"You would not believe me If I told
you that I enjoyed it," he said.
"I do not know upon what charges the
action, of tho President was based," he
continued, "but I do know that I Intend
to go to the bottom of them it I can find
what they are. I think that I can. It
given the opportunity, convince any fair
minded man that I have at no time in
my official life done anything that would
throw discredit upon me, either publicly
or privately.
"I am surprised that the action should
have been taken by the President without
giving me a chance to- defend my name.
The office Is of small moment to me com
pared with4 my honor and my good name,
and I shall leave no stone unturned to
prove to the people of the State of Ore
gon that I am Innocent of any wrong and
have been attacked In the dark and be
hind my back by misrepresentation and
falsehood."
In the absence of Mr. Heney, the bus!
ness of the office will be conducted by
"W. "W. Banks, Mr. Hall's assistant. "When
Mr. Heney returns he will assume full
charge of any and all business done dur
ing his connection with the cases now
pending.

point on the New Year's eve festival, the
mob of down-town revelers moveo. nere
horns hooted the old year out, while the
chimes, which for years have rung the
half hour before the dying year's last
midnight, sang their nappy omen ot me
Incoming season. The cafes In Upper
Broadway and the Bohemian restaurants
of the East Side were crowded with
those who helped the old year" out and
the New Year In with songs and merri
ment, and In contrast were the watch
meetings, with their wealth of religious
sentiment.
The Subway, Elevated and Surface
roads were crowded to their utmost ca
pacity tonight with parties bound to get
as near to Trinity as they could. The
Brooklyn bridge and all the down-town
ferries added their quota, until by 11
o'clock Broadway was completely jammed
from the City Hall down to the Battery.
The streets running to the ferries were
lined ali day with venders who did a
roaring trade In tin horns, rattles, whis
tles and other ear-spllttlng devices.
The din that rose high above the multi
tudes on Broadway slackened for a few
moments when at 11:43 the solemn
chimes of Trinity pealed forth their
parting to the old year, followed by the
bells of nearly every church In the city.
Almost instantly the tumult of horns
and whistles commenced, growing every
minute In volume, until, as the' midnight
hour struck, the whistles of a thousand
steamers, tugs and ferryboats swelled
with their hoarse blasts the mighty
diapason of welcome to'the New Year.
STRANGER THAN FICTION
A Itemedy Which Has Revolutionized the
Treatment of Stomach Troubles.
The remedy la not heralded as a won
derful discovery nor yet a secret patent
medicine, neither Is It claimed to cure
anything except dyspepsia. Indigestion and
stomach troubles with which nine out of
ten suffer.
The remedy Is In the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lozenges, containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic
pepsin (Government test), golden seal and
diastase. The tablets are sold by drug
gists under the name of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets. Many Interesting experi
ments to test the digestive power of Stu
art's Tablets show that one grain of the
active principle contained In them Is suffi
cient to thoroughly digest 3000 grains of
raw meat, eggs and other wholesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after-dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which simply Irritate and In
flame the Intestines without having any
effect whatever in digesting food or cur
ing indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and as
sisted In the work of digestion It will very
soon recover Its normal vigor, as no or
gan Is so much abused and overworked as
the stomach.
This Is the secret. If there Is any secret,
of the remarkable success of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets, a remedy practically un
known a few years ago and now the most
widely known of any treatment for stom
ach weakness.
This success has been secured entirely
upon Its merits as a digestive pure and
simple -because .there can be no stomach
trouble if the food is promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely
on the food eaten, digesting It completely,
so that It can be assimilated Into blood,
nerve and tissue. They cure dyspepsia,
water brash, sour stomach, gas and bloat
ing after meals, because they furnish the
digestive power which weak stomachs lack
and unless that lack is supplied it is use
less to attempt to cure by the use of
"tonics," "pills" and cathartics which
have absolutely no digestive power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found
at all drug stores and the regular use of
one or two of them after meals will dem
onstrate their merit better than any other
argument.
