Fair
Special to The Globe
ST. LOUIS. Mo., Nov. 24.—N0
Thanksgiving feast today was more
joyful than that at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. C. H. Way. 1510 Cleveland
avenue, the occasion being the meet
ing of the first time in forty years of
Mrs. C. H. Way, nee Tome, and her
brother, Henry Tome, postmaster of
Pine Island, Minn. Mrs. Way was hos
tess of the East St. Louis room in the
fraternal building at the world's fair
Nov. 3, 4 and 5, being a member of a
number of fraternal societies and al
ways taking an active interest in them.
Saturday afternoon a gentleman en
tered the East St. Louis room while
looking through the building, and ask
ed Mrs. Way if he could rest a bit. She
told him he was welcome to rest as
long as he desired and he and she soon
had started a conversation- He intro
duced himself a» L. N. Irish, a bank
er of Pine Island, Minn. Mrs. Way
remarked that she had a brother,
Henry Tome, whom «=he had not seen
for forty years. Mr. Irish informed the
lady, that he was well acquainted with
a Henry Tome, who was postmaster at
Pine Island, and he had been for the
pa« twenty years. Mr. Irish was in
vited to the Ways' home in East St.
Loui.=, where he Identified a picture of
Mr. Tome taken when a boy. Then
Mr. Tome was notified by wire.
"My brother was the oldest of ten
children and I am the youngest."' she
said. "He left home at Corydon, Pa.,
when I was two years old, and return
ed for a Phort visit when I was twelve
years old, he-then being thirty. From
that time to the present none of the
family heard from him. We all mar
ried and moved to different parts of
the country. When he arrived at our
home I did not know him. We have
made arrangements and will do the fair
for a week. Then Mr. Way and I will
accompany him home for a short visit
with his family."
SHOWS HOW IT PAYS
TO ADVERTISE
Newspaper* Profit by the System of
Direct Primaries
Special to The Globe
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 24.—A
new influence which operates strongly
toward* the popular primary plan of
Wisconsin. Minnesota and Michigan,
according to W. L. Joyce, of Detroit, ■
who is now here, is the advertising
which this system throws to the news
papers. Direct primaries were a great
issue in Michigan during the recent
campaign, to the complete exclusion of
all national questions. Mr. Joyce re
lates that in Detroit forty-two candi
dates for office each advertised in the
newspapers, with his picture, and that
the effect of substituting the popular
will for that of the management of
caucuses is to double the importance
of newspapers as factors of influence in
shaping pubic opinion. Advertising
"oiumne feel the effect of this so that
all the newspapers of Michigan ap
pear to have been enthusiastic in sup
port of direct primaries, to the full
length of the system. «

MURDER SUSPECTS

Police Investigate Their Alibi
Stories and Find Them
to Be True
There ie little likelihood that Henry
"Wilson, Henry Brayden and Louis
Wilson, the three men arrested at
Granby, Minn., Wednesday night on
suspicion of being implicated in the
hold-up and murder at Columbia
Heights Tuesday night, will be held to
answer to the vharge of murder.
The men claim an alibi, and an in
vestigation of tlieir stories convinces
the police they are telling the truth.
According to their stories, at th«j
time the murder was committed, they
wer*. in a saloon on First avenue south
in Minneapolis, where they remained
from 8 o'clock to midnight. Then they
went to the Dakota hotel at 122 Wash
ington avenue south, where they re
mained the rest of the night, and an
inspection of the register shows their
names were inscribed there.
Start for Duluth
In the morning they started for the
Great Northern yards for the purpose
of boarding a train for Duluth, where
they say they live. They were found
in the freight car by the brakeman,
who notified the Minneapolis authori
ties and locked the door. They were
alarmed over the action of the brake
man and cut a hole through the door
and loosened the lock. When the train
arrived at Cambridge they fled for the
woods and made their way to Granby.
five miles north. There they met the
station agent who showed them a
newspaper containing a report v of the
murder. Realizing the gravity of the
charge and their ability of proving an
alibi they waited at the station until
the posse arrived and surrendered
without resistance.
Yesterday morning they -were
brought to Minneapolis by Sheriff
Palmer, of Anoka county, and Detect
ive Helm, of Minneapolis, who was sent
to assist him, and locked in the central
police station away from the prying
eyes of the newspaper reporters.

Russians and Japanese Both Re
pulsed in Skirmishes Near Mukden
LONDON. Nov. 25.—The correspond- 1
ent at Moscow of the Telegraph claims
authority for the statement that Gen.
Stoessel's dispatch sent by the tor
pedo boat Rastoropny informed Em
peror Nicholas that the Port Arthur
garrison was being starved out, with
other frank details of its actual condi
tion, showing that the fall of the for
tress is inevitable.
Driven Out by Bayonets
MUKDEN. Nov. 24.—The Japanese
made a fresh attack on Poutiloff on the
night of Nov. 22. Their advancing
ranks wefe decimated by the Russian
fire. Some of the Japanese secured
lodgement on the slopes of the hill,
but were driven out at the point of
the bayonet, when the whole Japanese
contingent fled. A similar attempt
was made the night of Nov. 22 on
Erdazgao, which also was repulsed
with a bayonet charge. The Japanese |
lost heavily, while the Russian loss
was thirty killed.
A band of about 500 Chinese bandits,
with six guns, under Japanese officers,
coming from the direction of the Liao
river was in conflict with three eotnias
of border scouts near the station of
Kaiuan early on the morning of Nov.
23. The scouts charged without giv
ing the bandits' battery time to come
into action. The bandits made feeble
resistance and fled in all directions,
leaving 200 of their number dead. The
Russian loss was trifling.
A Japanese column of two com
panies attempted to penetrate the Rus
sian eastern flank on Nov. 23, "but was"
met by two squadrons of Russian cav
alry and driven oft with severe loss.
Something May Be On
. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 25.—Un
official advices bring affairs at the
front only up to Nov. 23. and the ab
sence of official news of later date
either from Japanese or Russian side
warrants the belief that more import
ant' opefations than heretofore may be
progressing. Reports from correspond
ents from tne front show renewed
skirmishing, including a fresh attack
on Nov. 22 on Poutiloff hill, in which
the Japanese were repulsed with heavy
losses, and also a hot fight with Chi
nese bandits near Kaiuan, in which 200
Chinese were killed.

The fact of Duffy's poverty, while his

did not know where he would secure ]

Atlantic. That affair -was the result
of a bet between Roche and Russian
admiralty officials in a club at St. Pe
tersburg. The officials were belittling
the bravery of the British, and declar
ed the reason Russia had not got any,
vessels in England was not because'
British linns were unwilling to sell.,
but because no Englishman could be
found with courage enough to take a
boat away and deliver it to Russia.
Roche, stung by these taunts, bet
£500 that if the officers could get*a:
boat he would deliver her. Roche was
a member of the British parliament'
from 1596 to 1900.
Suspect Yachts
LONDON, Nov. 24.—A telegram from;
Port Said says: \ '
"There is considerable interest her©
in- the movement of three fast yachts, I
the Fiorentina, Catarina and Emerald,!
i which have just traversed the canal to ;
Suez."
The Fiorentina is owned by Comte i
de Vofall, of Marseilles; the Catarina |
belongs to the firm of Camper & Nich- i
olson, of Gosport, and the Emerald be- j
longs to Sir Christopher Furness. The I
latter, however, 1s not on board and it
appears that both the Emerald and
Catarina have been chartered by in
dividuals whose names the agents re
fuse to divulge at the request of the
.charter's. . . •
The Catarina and Emerald have been
in the Mediterranean since Nov. 3 and
Nov. 1, respectively. The Catarina'g
"avowed destination is India. The
Emerald was at Jaffa Nov. 20. Furness,
Withy & Co. say the Emerald was
chartered for a pleasure cruise and
emphatically deny the suggestion that
the charters were either Russian or
Japanese or in any way connected with
people of these"nationalities.
The Fiorentina flies the French flag
and the Catarina and Emerald the-Brit
ish flag. The mission of the yachts is a
mystery, but it is suspected that the
boats have some connection with the
Russian admiralty and that they wiil
precede Vice Admiral Voelkersam's di
vision of the second Pacific squadron
to explore the route in the Gulf of Suez
and around Shadwan island. At the re
quest of the Russian officers the police
regulations have been relaxed suffi
ciently to allow bumboats alongside
the warships.
