Browa Men, However, Cleared Way
to Port Arthur.
Tono, May 29. The Japanese cas
ualties at Nan Shan are now estimat
ed at 3500. The number of Russian
guns captured exceed 70.
"While Japan paid heavily for her
victory she scored a sweeping and
valuable victory over the Russians,
in capturing 57 big guns, clearing the
way to Port Arthur and inflicting
losses on the Russians, which, in the
end, are expected to total 2000 men.
It is doubtful if the Russians will
stand again north of Port Arthur.
They retired from the field beaten,
and they failed to rally at Nan Quan
Ling, where it was anticipated a sec
ond stand would be made.
The desperate onslaughts of the
Japanese on the heights of Nan Shan
were telling, for the Russians left
300 dead in the trenches there. A
complete search of this field is ex
pected to show a greater number of
dead.
Nan Quan Ling was occupied yes
terday morning by a force of infan
try, artillery and engineers under the
command of General Nakamura. The
mam Japanese force spent Friday
night billeted in the villages around
Nan Shan. The soldiers were great
ly fatigued as a result of the constant
fighting, but they entered with much
spirit upon the new operations.
A force of Russians held San Chi
La Fa station, which is northwest of
Dalny, but the Japanese drove them
out The Russians abandoned and
burned.the station and retired in the
direction of Port Arthur.
The estimates of the Russians en
gaged in the defense of Kinchou, Nan
Shan Hill and the south shore of Tali
enwan Bay vary, but it is evident that
the Russians drew for men from the
forces at Port Arthur and offered
all the resistance possible. It is un
derstood here that Lieutenant-Gen-
eral StoesseL commander Of the mili
tary forces at Port Arthur, was in
personal command of the recent op
erations.
As soon as the Japanese troops
have rested they will press on the
south.
The Japanese assault on Nan Shan
Hill was one of the fiercest and blood
iest affairs in modern warfare. In
the earlier rushes of the engagement,
every man participating was shot
down before he reached the firat line
of Russian trenches. It was found
necessary to stop these infantry
charges and renew the artillery fire
from the rear before the final and
successful assault on the Russian po
sition could be made. The success.of
this assault was brought about by
one -detachment of Japanese troops,
more intrepid than their comrades,
who succeeded in piercing the Rus--sian
line.
A aril ivt 3 .1 nfilri fst fntlm r.nn
the discovery and destruction by the
apanese of the electric wires lead
ing to the mines at the eastern fcot
of Nan Shan Hill. This prevented
the Russians from exploding, these
mines when the Japanese infantry
crossed the ground ,wn"ere they had
been placed. It is possible that the
brtunes of the day hinged upon these
mines. It tne Kussians naa oeen auie
to explode them at the right time
osses among the Japanese troops
would have been tremendous, anil it
is possible also that the Russians
would have been able to hold the hill.
WAS SPLENDIDLY DEPENDED.
Nan Shan was splendidly defended.
Nearly 50 guns of various sizes were
mounted on the various emplace
ments, and there were also two bat
teries of quick-firing field pieces
The artillery was sheltered behind
loop-holed trenches on the terraces
of the bill. The infantry manning
the field pieces ran with them around
the hill, thus using these guns for the
protection of the most important
points. Japanese began the fight by
bringing all the field guns into action
and concentrating their fire on the
emplacements on the hill. By 11
o'clock in the morning the principal
Russian batteries had been silenced,
The twp Russian field batteries then
withdrew to Nan (uan Ling Hill, and
from there continued to fire on the
Japanese until nightfall
"After the Russian batteries had
been silenced the Japanese artillery
ODened on the enemy's trenches, the
Japanese infantry advancing mean
while to within rifle range. The Jap
anese gradually worked forward to
within 400 meters of the Russian
lines, where they encountered wire
and other entanglements. They suc
ceeded in discovering an opening in
these obstacles and getting finally to
within 200 meters of the Russian
trenches, they rushed for the line,
several successive charges were
maqe, out every officer ana man in
the attacking parties was shot down
20? or 30 meters from the line. The
charges were then stopped and the
Japanese artillery renewed its prep
aratpry fire on the enemy's position
Toward evening a detachment of Jap
anese carried a section of the Russian
trenches, breaking through the ene
my's line. Hundreds of the comrades
of these men, inspired by their suc
cess, sprang forward and then the
entire Japanese line swept up the
bill, driving the Russians from their
positions. It was in the desperate
infantry charges that the Japanese
sustained the bulk of their losses.
Softening CM The Breln.
The Eugene Guard last Thursday said
Attorney Lee M. Travis, of thia city
was. arrested this afternoon at 2:30
o clock by United States Deputy Mar.
shal Jacob Prosbetel on the charge o
presenting lorgea amaavits in a pension
claim for himself to the department at
Washington.
Mr. Trans was taken at once before
United States Commissioner J. J. Wal
tofi,. where he waived examination
Jadge Walton placed him under bonds
of ?500, -which were furnished.
Tbe Cmsax.
Ib the complaint against Mr. Travis,
F, N. Libby, of Portland, deposes and
alleges as follows: That on Feb. 27. 19
03, Lee M. Travis made a claim for him
self for an invalid military pension,
That he procured and transmitted to
the commissioner of pensions at Wash
wgton, D. C, a forged writing in the
form of an affidavit purporting to be
subscribed and worn to br E. H. Church
of Bgene, Oregon, before L G. Hulin,
a notary public of Eugene, Oregon. It
is farther alleged that Travis on Decem-
oer 16, 1903, transmitted to the'eommis-
sinner of pensions a certain false and
forged writing in the form of an affidavit
purporting to be subscribed and sworn
to by Dr. B. M. McKinney, of Eugene,
Oregon, before Louis E. Bean, a notary
public.
Retained Counsel.
Mr. Travis has retained L. fiilyeu
and A. C. Woodcock as counsel. When
asked by a Guard reporter for a state-
meat this afternoon, Mr. Travis referred
hist to bis attorneys, who declined to
say anything.
The many friends of the accused deep
ly regret that he is in trouble, but have
confidence that when the case comes up
before the federal authorities in Septem
ber that he will be cleared.
Mr. Travis was first apprised of the
fact that he was to be arrested to-day
when a reporter showed him a dispatch
to tbe Guard from Portland announcing
the coming of Deputy United Slates
aaarsnai mis aiternoon. ne was very
much suprised at the announcement
and at once made arrangements to se
cure attorneys. At that time he made
the statement that he had applied for a
pension on account of severe illness
while a member of the Second Oreeon
Volunteer Infantry regiment in tbe
Philipines, and which rendered him a
physical wreck fora long time afterward
The writer and a large number of other
young men of this city who were mem
bers of Company C. remember that Mr.
Travis was for a long time at the point
of death with the fever while the regi
ment was stationed at Cavite. Ills
friends cannot believe that he is guilty
of forgery. Earl H. Curch, who is nam
ed in the complaint as being one of the
persons whose name was forged to the
affidavit, could not be found this after
noon, bo no statement could be obtained
from him.
Mr. Travis is one of Eugene's best
known and prosperous young attorneys.
He was nominated by the Democrats at
tbe recent suite convention for prosecut
astorney for this district, but he declin
ed .the nomination on the account of his
extensive practice and home affairs.
He war only recently married.

Wrote 222 Words In A Minute.
In a dark room where he could see
nothing but the outline of his machine,
with a stop-watch held on hini and six
witnesses present, John A. shields, of
Ottawa, Kan , clattered off 222 words on
a typewriter in a tiiiiiute, thus making a
new world's record and demonstrating
his right to be hailed as the champion.
Charles McGurrin has for several years
held the world's record at 212 words a
minute.
One who ha9 never run a typewriter
does not. perhaps realize what thia
means. During a single imnuto each of
the 39 keys on a shift-key machine was
struck 27 1-3 times, or 17 2-3 keys hit
every second. It further means that
there weru 1004 depressions made in 02
seconds, the machine running one and
three-quarter seconds after time was
called. These strokes were so automa
tic that there was not a pileup in the
entire work.
There were more than 212S distinct
muscular actions, taking the expansion
and contraction of the muscles as separ
ate movements, during the 02 seconds
for an experienced stenographer to run
the carriage 72 spaces, taking the letters
s 1 s 1, and shields wrote a. connected
paragraph.
The speei which to-day holds the
world's record showed that the muscles
of the hands and forearm had been so
trained mat tney neeqeu not tho incen
tive of thought tq direct their move
ment. It is constant practice tq which
the champion says his record is due
Shields is 19, but looks younger. He
graduated from a business school two
years ago, and since been employed prin
cipally by one of the typewriter coin-
panies.
I do not see that I have done anything
so wonderful. What brought my atten
uon 10 my speeu was a challenge i re
ceived. I went into training for a week
or so. I then learned that I was pass
ing the 200-a-minute mark. When I
got ready for the contest the challenger
refused to wnte. Determined not to be
outdone I invited some friends to wit
ness the demonstration, and make a first
record of 218 words.

the presence of six witnesses,

had previously invited. They made
affidavit that I had done the work in
one minute and since then my challen
ger has kept qniet.
The main principle underlying the
record is practice. I have sat lefore

after letter, line upon line, and f have
run over and over that keyboard until
far into the night. This unceasing work

but simply that old, old story persever-
ence. 1 know that it takes work and
hard work, but it is this one thing that
so many are not willing to pjy.
Ul course 1 have methods of practic
ing that are my own I have some meth
ods of fingering that I obtained from no
one else, I have my own idea as to the
kind of material one should use when
practicing for speed, and I might say
here that it is not writing one 72 space
sentence over and over.
For two weeks after Mr. Shields had
made his record of 218 he was regarded
as a prodigy. Since his second record
he has been regarded differently. One
of the faculty of Ottawa University said
that he was hypnotized or be could
never have written that many words in
a minute. Those who know him best
agree that this is the case, but add that
he hypnotized himself by hard work.

The Duty of Oregon Republicans.
Salem Statesman J
Every Republican in Orecoti should
bear in mind that his dutv is to no to
the polls on election day and cast his
ballot for tho candidates which repre
sent the political organization to which
he belongs. It is a duty which cverv
Republican owes to himself, to those de
pendent upon hini and to his country.
Industrial conditions prevailing in the
United States are largely the result of
the republic politics enforced by the
party in control of the Government.
This is an admitted fact, admitted by
both parties. This history of the coun
try has repeatedly shown what these
opposing politics will do for its Indus
tries and what their effect will be upon
the people. It is of so much conse
quence that no republican can afford to
neglect his duty in so important a
matter.
Tl.cTha uever in the ontirc history
of the United States leen a period em
bracing eight successive years, when all
kinds of business maintained so high a
standard of prosperity as has been the
case during the last and present Repub
lican administrations. The conditions
prevailing during the four years of Dem
ocratic supremacy just preceding this
period, are well remembered.
The great importance of our election
next month rests upon the fact that it
wih be the first public expression by the
people relating to President Roosevelt's
administration and of his candidacy for
election to the position he now holds.
That the President is very popular in
Oregon everybody knows, and this ap
proval should not appear to be lukewarm
by a neglect to give it expression at the
ballot box. In every state in the Union
public attention is drawn to the result
here in June, and tbe real condition
should be fully reflected in the popular
result.
Democrats Not to b; Trusted
Handle the Tariff Question.
to
In the seventh plank of the democrat
ic etale platform there is made a declar
ation that is evidently intended as a
notice to the people that the democratic
party intends to give conspicuous prom
inence to the anti-protection issue in
the coming campaign.
"Reasonable revision of the tariff,
needless duties upon imported raw ma
terials weiili heavily upon the manu
facturer and are a menace to the Ameri
can wage earner, and by increasing the
cost of production shut out our products
from foreign markets."
The people know what the democratic
idea is of "reasonable" tariff revision.
The Wilson bill of 1S94 was a materiali
zation of that idea. Democratic revision
of tbe tariff without disturbance of the
princip'e of protection is inconceiva
ble. When reasonable revision has been
clearly demonstrated to be necessary,
the people will want it done by the
party whose tariff policy has been
proved by long experience to be right;
not by the democratic party, wboe free
tradeward striving has ever been a men
ace to American prosperity.
If there are "needless duties" the fact
will appear, and tbe republican party
will apply the obvious and necessary
remedy. Thus far it has not been dem
onstrated that there are needless duties.
Tbe democratic party's assertion that
there are will never be accepted as evi
dence From its standoint all duties
that are not for revenue alone are
"needless."
Our steadily expanding foreign com
merce is the best proof that our products
are not shut out from foreign markets.
The party, which, during all the years
that have elapsed since it became con
suiuieu as it is at present, lias been in
the wrong on the tariff will not be able
to fool the people once more, as it did
ten years ago. Ex.

It is already evident that the Demo

normal tactics of partisanship. The
party out of power seldom fails to arraign
its opponents for wasteful disbursement
of the public funds. It is undeniable
that the appropriations have shown a
marked increase, not only for the ses
sion just ended, but for some years.
Tbe war with pain ushered in an era
of liberal spending and general pros
perity has tended to prevent any pro

the praying tho Czar has been doing
has not kept the boilers from scalding
and the tubes from leaking, and the
practice of faith cure on the hulks has
had no beneflc!al effect. The Czjr has
forgot tho old proverb: "Trust in God
but keep your powder dry."

Ontario Argu.
the Republican party has stood for
the home and native land, for freedom,
universal suffrage, National lienor and
positive policies. It is the party of the
present and of the future. The dutv
and privilege of Oregon at June election
is to set an example for other states in
the matter of a strong vote for the Re
publican ticket. The administration o'
President Roosevelt is a matter of nride
to every thoughtful American, and it calls
for the indorsement of a future term.
It ia unfortunate that in Orecon the tiro
elections are not held as one in Novem
ber; likewiso important that a strong
Kepublican vote be polled next month.
