A Fan as a Wanning Pan.
If one can believe the American
Electrician?and its authority is high?
the electric fan that is used to keep
one cool during the summer can also
be used advantageously to heighten the
temperature of a room during the winter,
where the steam radiator is either
too small or the steam pressure too
low to maintain a comfortable temperiture.
"Place the fan," says the Electrician,
"so that the current of air will
blow against a large surface of the raliator,.
and in a very short while the
room is changed from cold to warm."
rhe production of that effect in that
svay is very hard to understand, and,
therefore, not easv to believe, but the
Electrician ought to know what it is
talking about, and the experiment is

Tokio, Japan.?Every official repor
from the front ndds to the raagnitudi
of the Russian disaster, and the indi
cations are that the whole truth o;
the crushing blow delivered by Fieh
Marshal Oyama to the Russian arm:
will not be known for some days, ow
ing to the fact that the casualties ar<
so great and the spoils so large that i
is impossible as yet to get aecurati
figures.
As an indication of the losses inflictec
on the enemy, a dispatch received ai
.headquarters states that the Kussiar
losses in front of the armies in the
Sha River direction alone were 40,(XX
prisoners, including Major-Genera
Nashimoff, and 26,500 dead left on th(
field. It is estimated that the tota
killed and wounded number about 90,'
000.
The spoils taken by the .Tapanest
comprise a number of colors, sixtj
guns, GO,000 rifles, 200.000 shells, 25,
000,000 rounds of small ammunition
2000 horses, twenty-three cartloads ol
maps, a vast supply of provisions, fod
der, fuel and clothing, railway and tele
graph materials, accoutrements anc
supplies of all kinds. Every dispatch
received adds to the number of prison
ers taken and guns captured.
The official dispatches state that the
pursuing detachments which started
from the right bank of the Hun Rivei
reached a line thirteen miles north oi
the river. . On the fcfllowing day the
pursuit of the retreating Russians was
vigorously continued.
A detachment which left the Pu
River, thirteen miles from Mukden, on
the Tieling road, that forenoon had an
engagement with a large column of the
enemy which was making its way
northward as rapidly as posible. The
.TanflnpsA phnrcpri thf? Russians nnrt a
? ?
hand to hand fight occurred. Ultimately
most of the column was surrounded
rind captured. Those of the column
who succeeded in escaping continued
to fight hopelessly for awhile and finally
surrendered. The whole field was
covered with Russian dead. The Japanese
have since been engaged in burning
their own dead and those of the
enemy.
The Japanese casualties reported
since February 26 number 41,222.
No report has been received from the
Japanese operating in the direction of
Haingching.
Reliable unofficial reports state that a
detachment of the extreme Japanese
! left has reached Sintun, on the Mukden
road, ten miles south of Tieling. A
detachment from Fushun has occupied
Lanniwo, ten miles north, having repulsed
several flank attacks by Russian
forces from the mountainous district
to the northeast in the direction of the
Kaiyuan and Talin road.

Chadwick was found guilty of conspir- |
ing to defraud the United States in
e
conspiring to procure the certification
of checks on a National bank when
t there were no funds in the bank to
? her credit. She was found guilty on
" every count of the indictment upon
c which the jury was at liberty to judge
1 her?seven in all.
3 The original indictment: contained
sixteen counts. Two of these were
ruled out during the trial by Judge
Taylor, and of the remaining fourteen
one-half charged her with securing
the certification of checks without
having the proper entries made upon
the books of the bank. Judge Taylor
in his charge directed the jury to disregard
these counts and consider only
the remaining seven, which related to
the certification with no funds on deposit.

each count, not more than $10,000 or
not more than two years in prison on
each count; or she may be fined a
maximum of $10,000 and also imprisoned
for two years on each count.
The jury left the court room at 3.33
p. m. It was announced two hours
later that a verdict had been reached,
and the jurors asked to be taken out
to dinner. Word was sent to Judge
Taylor at his hotel, and he set 8.30 as
the time at which he would appear in
court to receive the verdict.
The jury went out at 6.15 and returned
at 7.30. Court was opened
' promptly at 8.30, and the verdict was
1 read at 8.33. Mrs. Chadwick came
' into court i.bout five minutes before
the jury. She was accompanied by
! her son, Emil Hoover, and two trained
i nurses. She sank into the seat she
has occupied during the trial, and
i rested her face in the p.ilm of her
i right hand?a position she had almost
i constantly throughout the session of
court.
During the afternoon she had suf
fered severely from a cramp in her
1 right arm, being at times barely able
to use it. She forgot all about the
cfamp at night in her excitement, and
' moved the arm as though nothing had
'j ever troubled it.
The jury sat silently in their chairs

room stood perhaps thirty persons?
' newspaper men, bailiffs and attaches
of the office of District Attorney Sullivan.
Of Mrs. Chadwick s counsel.
Judge Wing alone was present, and
| he sat with a frown of apprehension
upon his face. Emil Hoover, close behind
his mother, was ready to rejoice
with or console her, as the case might
! be.
Mrs. Chadwick soon composed herself,
raised her head, wiped her eyes,
and rose to her feet with an air of
bidding defiance to the worl$. Attend1
ed by Deputy Marshal Clobitz, Emil
Hoover and Judge Wing she walked
steadily to the hallway to take the elevator.
It was not there, and in the
slight delay Mrs. Chadwick's compos
ure deserted her utterly.
. She violently threw off the arm of
! Deputy Marshal Clobitz and that of
her son, exclaiming:
"Let me go. Oh. my God, let me go!"
"I'm not guilty!" she exclaimed, and
then, weakly, she moaned again and
i again:
"Oh, let me go! let me go! I'm not
guilty, I tell you, let me go!"
* Suddenly she fell against Judge
Wing. He caught her by the ShOUlrl^rs
nrtrt- tonf hoi* frrtm foIHnir unH! I
; Deputy Marshal Minder came upon
the other, side. Together the two men
1 lifted her bodily and bore her into the
elevator, which descended one floor,
and she was taken, half walking and
half carried, into the office of United
States Marshal Chandler and placed
upon a sofa.
An attack of hysterics followed that
> lasted fully fifteen minutes, her sobs
L and cries being distinctly audible in
the hall outside. The two nui'ses were
' in prompt attendance and applied res
toratives diligently. In about half an
: hour from the time she entered the
1 Marshal's office Mrs. Chadwick was
restored to comparative composure,
and then was taken to the jail. From
the time of leaving the Marshal's
office until the door of the jail closed
? behind her she kept up a continuous
moaning.
The verdict was unexpected by the
attorneys in the case, and the attaches
) of the District Attorney's office were
J jubilant over their victory. ATr. Sulli
van, after the verdict had be.en rendered,
said: "I don't care to say anything
about it. Not now, anyhow.
She's a woman, and the prosecution
came in my line of duty. It has not
been a pleasant case, but I believe
that an honest verdict has been giveu."
Judge Wing declared: "Of course, I
had hoped for better things, but the
f case is not ended yet. We will take It
up to the higher courts, and fight it to
' the finish."

Moscow. Russia.?Insurrectionary violence
is rampant and dynamite was employed
with probably fatal effect in
the thick of a throng in Theatre Square,
several persons being injured more or
less severely. A bomb that must have
been of exceptional size was hurled
into the centre of a crowd crossing the
square when the evening promenade
was .at its height. It exploded as It
struck the ground, the sound being
heard at opposite ends of the city.
Fearful confusion followed the explosion.
and when the smoke and dust
cleared away at least ha'lf a dozen persons
were prostrate a short distance
from the spot on which the bomb
struck, and. dozens of others were
struggling to their feet in a large ring.
Groans from the injured mingled with
the shrieks of women, ihe cries of
frightened men. the curses of Cossacks
and the signal whistles of detectives
mixed with the people.
The crowd fled to the opposite side
of the square, then paused and turned
to ascertain the result of the explosion.
A few of the more courageous hastened
back to the spot to lift the wounded
from the'ground. Three of those who
did so were seized by the police and
rushed out of the square to a barracks
in a neighboring street. A sotnia of
Cossacks responded to the call of members
of a Cossack patrol, who scattered
in search of the larger body immediately
after the bomb burst. The whole
company of soldiers charged the crowd,
slashing right and left with their whips
and felling more than a score of persons
with the flats of their sabres.
Five arrests were made in all. One
of the captives was nurc ternoiy o>
a fragment of the bomb that struck the
side of his bead, stunning him and inflicting
a deep gash. He was uncoDscious
when dragged from the square
by Cossacks. Indignant cries Ijirok^
from the watching throng when!- he
was seized, and it was then that the
sotnia, in close formation, made its
charge It is reported several bad casualties
resulted from the onslaught of
the soldiers and that Ave or six of the
injured were hurried from the place
by their friends before the police obtained
their names. Terror reigned in
all that part of the city after the explosion,
and at an early hour in the
evening the square practically was deserted.
Uprisings are reported from all sides,
accompanied by plunder of wealthy
estates and the burning of country
houses. One of the most aggressive of
those movements was the sack of a
mansion owned by Grand Duke Michael
Alexandrovitch, in the Orel government
Everything portable was
taken from the house by the marauders
and the rest of the property was
burned. Hundreds of prize cattle were
driven off or killed and outbuildings
went under the torch. Similar outrages
were perpetrated in the plunder
of an estate in the Dmitrov district that
had belonged to Grand Duke Sergius.
That property is close to Moscow and
the flames were seen from the city.
Cossacks were hurried to the estate,
but they got there too late to capture
any of the mob.
Warsaw. ? Mutiny by reservists in
Wolkowsk to escape Manchuvian service
resulted in the sentence of four of
them to penal servitude for life, and
of eight mutineers' to twenty years.
Five o? their comrades were put to
death on Monday. The mutiny was
regarded as particularly dangerous, because
the reservists evidently exerted
strong influence over the other troops.
Wolkowsk is an important recruiting
station in the government of uroano,
and if the disaffection bad not been
cheeked promptly it probably would
have assumed perilous proportions.
The mutineers did everything in their
power to stir other commands to rebellion.

ROBBERS MAKE BIG HAUL
,v
Banking Company of Genoa, Ohio,
Robbed.
Fifty-two Thousand Dollars Take.i Froui
Vaaltg? Burglars Escape in Bajjgj
and Hand Car*
Freemont, Obio.?Three men blew up
the vault of the Genoa Banking Company,
of Genoa, early in the morning,
escaping after the crime in a buggy
which they had stolen.
Posses -went in pursuit of the robi
bers and the sheriffs of the surrounding
districts were notified. Plunder amount,
ingto $52,000. of which $2000 was in
cash and $50,000 in negotiable paper,
was obtained.
The raid on the bank was made a
little while before dawn. \ Several
strangers have been noticed in the
town lately, and it is believed they
were looking over the bank and getting
the lay of the land.
A.heavy explosion awoke several persons
living near the bank, and many
dressed hurriedly and ran out to investigate.
The ilrst man to reach the bank
saw two men in a buggy. As he approached
one of them levelled a revolver
at him and fired, the shot going
' wide. He saw a third man run out of
the bank and leap into the vehicle. The
horse was lashed into a gallop atad the
robbers quickly disappeared.
On examination it was found that
entry to the bank had been forced with
JlLUUiltTD. IX LJUULge UL Ilk LI V~?l J LCI 1UC
was used to open the vault. The job
was clean and workmanlike and had
evidently been done by experienced
men.
The vault door was badly wrecked.
The interior had been rifled, but a large
I sum in' bills had been overlooked.
The robbers with great coolness had
broken into a barn nearby and bar'nessed
and taken out a horse and
buggy. Apparently one mau had attended
to this, whiie the other two were
busy in the bank.
A posse of men armed with rifles
ind shotguns was hurriedly formed and
pursuit began along the road taken by
the robbers. The pursuing force was
loaded into three wagons.
The trail led to the railroad, where
the abandoned buggy, with the horse
.exhausted and dripping with sweat,
was found. A handcar was missing
from a switch at that point. In all
probability the escape was carefully
. planned, and the handcar placed there
during the night, before the gang
started for the bank.
The handcar was found later in the
day, the robbers having abandoned It
and started across country, in all probability,
after first dividing the plunder
and dispersing. ; j"'

Knrii? Daring Early Mornlnsr Honrs *
-Moil of Dead Found on Top Floor
?Policemen and Firemen Blake
Heroic Bescnei. .
Notr York Citv. ? Nineteen sheeted
bodies of persons who were burned to
death or were suffocated in a fire
which swept the thickly populated
tenement at 105 Allen street earlF in.
the morning were laid in a row in the
Eldridge street sta-tion, and eleven
victims, suffering from severe injuries,
were sent to Eellevue and Couverneur
hospitals. Desperate rescues by
policemen and firemen, and scenes of
terror among the thousands of East
Side dwellers who swarmed about, the
blazing rabbit warren of a house, * /
marked the horror. Most of the dead
and wounded were children.
Spreading with rapidity astonishing
even in a thin-walled tenement,'the
flames had shut off hope of escape by
the staircases almost before they had
been discovered. The fire escape at
the rear proved a path to safety for
scores, thanks to the cool headedness
of a policeman, who saved dozens of <.&
lives and who finally fell three floors
while busied in his work of rescue.
The other rescues were effected from
the front of the tenement.at a' time
when nearly every wiudow waa belch
' f .g fire and smoke and practically the
.rhole interior was a ragtag furnace.
In all there were about 120 Inmates
in the building, divided among twenty
families. There was some talk that
tbe lire was the work of an incendiary,
but the police could find little on which
to base this theory.
The kndwn dead are:
Mrs. Rosie Wiener, twenty-three
years old, wife of Benjamin Wiener;
Sandor Wiener, Mrs. Wiener's fouryear-old
son; Ida Miskowitz, ten years
old; Mrs^ Jessie Kobn, twenty-six
years old, wife of Harry Kohn; Moritz
Mueller, five months old, and Bose
Mueller, four years old, the children it
Jacob Mueller; Harry Kaufman, nine
years old; Isaac Sol<M?ogv eighteen
years old; Jacob Solomotfc eighteen
years old; Mrs. Rachel Solomon,' forty-five
years old. The unidentified
dead included four boysy two women
and one girl.

oa the top floor would, sot indicate
that they were .all tenants of that part
of the house. Some of them, dwelt
further down, but were driven upward
by the flames which quickly converted
the lower floors into a blazing furnace.
They fled to the garret, only at the
last to be cut off from .ill hope of. rea- . '
cue and killed by the flre or smoke.
The building, a ttve-story brick atrueture.
of double tenement design,, and
packed from basement to attic with
Jewish and Russian families, stood
at 105 Allen street, extending back to
a small payed yard in the rear of 144
Eidridge street. TUe apace razed by
the city along Delancey street for the
approach to the. WiiliamsburgABridge
ends just to the north, so- tha* from
three sides there is- a clear view of the
house.
The tire had attained great headway
yrhen discovered, and it is more than
probable that at least half of those
wiirt npcishpri ww(> bpvond human aiiL
although still living perhaps, when tbe
alarm went in.
The tire was discovered at 3.40
o'clock in the basement on the south
side. The room where the blaze is
supposed to have originated was occupied
by Stanislaus Stenblock, who
ran a small sausage store. The adjoining
basement store was tenanted
by Isaac Davis, "who discovered the
blaze, and who sells grape juice and
light drinks.
Davis probably spent several precious
minutes in a frantic effort to extinguish
the lire. before giving the
alarm. /
The barkeeper- iu a saloon at Broome
and Allen streets heard Davis' cries,
and without waiting to investigate
guessed the causc and sent in an
alarm by telephone. ,
Manr thrilling rescues were made by
the police and fire departments' men
upon their arrival. EC
