W IL L USE
HIS T O R P E D O FLEET.
T o g o Will Not Risk His Big Vessels
Against the Russians.
London, April 19.— Baron Hayasbi,
the Japanese minister to Great Britain,
expressed the opinion to the Associated
Press today that Admiral Togo would
not give battle to Admiral Rojestven-
sky with his entire squadron, but
would continue the cautious tactics
which has characterized his attacks on
the Port Arthur squadron, not because
he feared defeat, but owing to bis de
sire to inflict the greatest amount of
damage on the Russians with the least
possible loss to himself.
W hile confident of his ability to ac
complish the total destruction of the
Russian squadron in a big battle, there
is danger of Togo losing one dr two of
his big ships. Therefore, Baron Hay-
ashi believes, Togo will employ his
torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroy
ers, which number more than 100 and
are vastly superior to the Russian tor
pedo boat flotilla, in harassing the Rus
sians while gradually picking off the
Russian warships.
He said the coasts of Japan, Corea
and Formosa lend themselves to night
work with torpedo boats, while the
narrow channels will make the maneu
vering of large war ships difficult and
dangerous.
CRUSHED TO DEATH
Four Boys Killed and Many In-

AFTER FREE THEATER TICKETS
Hundreds Were Waiting at Indianap
olis Masonic Temple When
Panic Started.
Indianapolis, Ind., April 18.— Fren
zied by a false alarm of tire, several
hundred eager newsboys, struggling to
obtain their share of free tickets to a
local theater, which were being dis
tributed by a traveling representative
of a patent medicine company, stam
peded in a narrow stairway in the Ma
sonic Temple tonight, crushing the life
out of four boys and seriously injuiing
several others.
Long before the time approached for
the distribution of the tickets, the
stairs of the Masonic Temple, at the
southwest corner of Washington street
and Capitol avenue, were crowded with
a pushing, yellin g'crow d of newsbovs,
each anxious to be first to receive his
pass.
When the distribution began,
the excitement became more intense,
and the efforte of several policemen
who had been detailed to prevent
trouble were unavailing.
It is alleged that one of the boys, in
the endeavor to hasten the exit of those
who had received their passes, shouted
“ F ire !”
Immediately those at the
top faced about and aimost with super
human strength began to force their
way to the bottom of the stairs.
Shrieks and physical encounters fol
lowed for a few seconds, when from
some cause those near the top fell head
long on the struggling mass at the bot
tom.
Immediately policemen from
the central station, who responded to a
riot call, began the work of rescue.
Four of the boys were dead when ex
tricated from their position at the bot
tom of the stairs. Others, believed to
have been fatally crushed, were taken
out as fast as they could be disen
tangled from their freni ied compan
ions, who fought and clung to each
other in desperation.

Supreme Court Declares New York
Bakers’ Law Unconstitutional.
Washington, April 18.— In an opin
ion by Justice Beckham, the Supreme
court of the United States held to be
unconstitutional the New York state
law making ten hours a day’s work and
90 hours a week’ s work in bakeries in
that state.
Justices Harlan, W hite,
Day and Holmes dissented and Justice
Harlan declared that no more import
ant decision had been rendered in the
last century.
The opinion was handed down in the
case of Lockner vs. the state of New
York, and was based on the ground
that the law interferes with the free
exercise of the rights of contract be
tween individuals. The court of Ap
peals of the state upheld the law and
