Coroiier Finds Two Dead Bodies in Road He Followed Directions Telephoned by Unidentified Man From tin Unknown Place. EAST ST. LOUIS, 111., Sept. 5. By following directions telephoned by an unidentified man from an unknown place, Coroner McCracken tonight found the dead bodies of a white man and negro lying in the middle of a road about 100 feet apart.

"When the Coroner, who was driving a wagon, reached the bridge, he was met by a man, who told him that "what he was looking for was about 200 feet farther on." Before the Coroner could question his informant the latter walked hastily away and boarded a street-car. A short time later the police made one arrest and the man is being held on suspicion. He refused to give his name and, on being questioned by the police, declined to give an account of himself. CORTELYOUSEES ROOSEVELT National Chairman and President Hold Long Conference.

Erring hus bands who come home at 2 a. m., search unsteadily for an elusive keyhole, and then crawl upstairs on their hands and knees lest their devotion to Bacchus and Gambrinus cost them a broken home, plucked up courage today when they learned of the noval contention made by Francis T. Brown, Jr., 1127 Hinmnn avenue, Evanston, in the di vorce suit brought by his wife. Wifo Know His "Weakness. Because his wife knew of his weak ness for intoxicants during his court ship and never attempted to reform him after marriage, Mr. Bryan set forth In the cross bill filed in the Circuit court In his behalf, that Mrs. Bryan's neglect to act as his mentor In things spirit uous should bar her from obtaining a divorce.

Army of Brown Men Is Now. Within ; Thirty Miles of the City. MUKDEN, Sept 5. Preparations for the evacuation of Mukden arc pro ceeding. The Japanese advance is within thirty miles. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 6. 3:20 a. m. It is Impossible at this hour to ob tain any statement from the authori ties regarding the reported prepara tions for the abandonment of Mukden. This is the first Intimation that such a courso is contemplated. If it turns out to bo true, it means the abandonment of the whole of southern Manchuria and the winding up of the present campaign. In fact, should Mukden b2 evacuated, there would be no point for wintering the army of a quarter of a million, with Its many wounded, short of Harbin. Oyama Will Control Railway.. On the other hand, the evacuation of Mukden would give Field Marshal Oyama commodious winter quarters and the practical control of two lines of railway. The KJnchou-SInmlntln line, tapping rich Chinese territory, stops little short of Mukden, with which it Is connected by a good wagon road. The report of the prospective evacua tion of Mukden, if well founded, would indicate that the crippling effect of the Liao Yang fighting on Kuropatkln's army is more serious than has as yet been Intimated. Position of Russian Army. A summary of the war situation to date shows that the whole Russian army, or at least the main portion of It, is already above Yen Tal station and Is pushing on toward Mukden. Field Marshal Oyama's entire army has crossed the Taltse l'lver and part of it Is hanging onto Kuropatkln's Hank. A strong Hanking column on the east is pushing rapidly north, In nn effort to head off the Russians. Harassing Kuropatkin. Against this column Gen. Kuropat kin has sent out a strong cavalry di vision to the northeast, which, It Is believed, Is already in position to check the Japanese Hankers, while to the westward Kuropatkin is moving a di vision toward SIngmlntin, thirty miles west of Mukden, to meet any Interfer ence that may be attempted from the direction of YInkow or Newchwang. Oyama's advance Is reported to be en gaging the Russian rear, but It Is not expected to develop anything more se rious than a series of rear-guard ac tions, tending to harass Kuropatkin's i'fitivn t- Heading Off Russians. The Japanese have thrown a strong flanking column across the Taltse river at Benitzu, about thirty miles north east of Liao Yang. This column Is hur rying to the northeast and endeavor ing to get In between the Russian army nnd Mukden- It is against this move ment that Kuropatkin has dispatched Lleut.-Gen. Renncnkampf with a strong Cossack division, which, it is be lieved, already Is blocking the eastern hlchroad. Kuropatkin has three roads over which he Is marching toward Mukden, besides the double-tracked railroad. Tho latter is chiefly occupied in the transportation of guns nnd of equip ment, of which there aro great quan tities. The soldiers are mai'chlng In light order and most of tho wounded have been already dispatched north by rail. Rear Guord Fight, Gen. Kuropatkin, in a telpgram to the General Staff, Hied at 1 p. m. Sep tember 5, north of Yen Tal, says tho Japaneso on Sunday engaged his rear guard south of Yen Tal, the flght con tinuing until Monday. The telegram details tho precautions taken to check mate the Japanese Hankers. Kuropatkin estimates his losses up to and Including September 4 at 16.000. This is considered to be a very con servative figure. Tho loss to tho Jap anese probably will bo double this num ber, owing to their position as attack ers. Kuropatkin Not Wounded. Kuropatkin says nothing regarding the loss of guns, but It Is probable that some of the heavier emplaced guns at Liao Yang hud to be abandoned. There is no truth, either, in tho report that Kuropatkin has been wounded or that Lieut -Gen. Llnevltch Is moving to his support Gcu. Llnevltch Is still at Vladivostok . i Jap Victory Is Celebrated Tokio Illuminates and Celebrates Over tho Russian Rout at Liao Yang. TOKIO, Sept. 5. A mass oC official reports on the battle of Liao Yang reached the imperial headquarters to day, but they will not be given out until It is possible to put them in order and make from them a connected dnd detailed story. In the meantime head quarters Is refraining from giving any thing to the public. What Is Generally Known. It is generally known that Gen. Ku ropatkin succeeded, by means of a desperate rear-guard action and strong and well-handled flank movements, in withdrawing the great bulk of the Russian army, and that he cut bridges to hamper the Japanese pursuit. Operations Japanese Right Wing. Critical Interest centers In the opera tions of tho Japanese right wing, which occurred late Friday night and early Saturday morning. Gen. Kuroki then swung to the westward, his movement being designed to Hank the remainder of the Russians left at Liao Yang It self. Will Capture Many Russians. It is believed here that Gen. Kuro patkin Is bound to lose many prison ers to the Japanese. It is possible, however, that the tonocrrarjhical diffi culties and the overwhelming opposi tion of the Russians may check this movement on the part of Gen. Kuroki. Japanese Officers Killed. Among the Japanese officers reported killed In the battle of Liao Yang are Lieut Teraouchl, son of Lieut-Gen. TeraouchL Minister of War, and Lleuts. Fukushima and Maratta, both sons of Japanese Generals. Official figures of the Japanese losses and a list of the trophies captured are ex pected to reach Toklo tomorrow. Stand at Mukden.
