Crowd of Newsboys Grow Wild and
Four Are Dead.
Indianapolis, Ind., April 18.—Fren-
zied by a false alarm of fire, 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 on a narrow stairway In the Ma-
sonic Temple, Monday night, crushing
the life out of four boys and It believ-
ed fatally Injuring several others.
Ixtng before the time appointed 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, yelling crowd of newsboys,
each anxious to be first to receive his
pass. When the distribution began the
excitement became more intense and
the efforts of the police were unavail-
ing.
It is alleged by a witness that one
of the boys, in the endeavor to hasten
the exit of others who had received
their passes, shouted “fire!” Imme-
diately those at the top faced abo«t
and with almost superhuman strength
began to torce their way to the bottom
of the stairs. Shrieks and physical
encounters followed for several sec-
onds, when from some cause those
near the top fell headlong upon the
struggling mass at the bottom. Imme-
diately policemen from the Central
station, who responded to a riot call,
began the work of rescue.
Four of the boys were dead when
evtrlcated from their position at the
bottom of the stairs. Others believed
to have been fatally crushed were tak-
en out as fast as taey could be disen-
gaged from their frenzied companions,
who fought and clung to each other in
desperation.
No Session Tuesday, But There Is
Plenty Doing all the Same.
Austin. Tex.. April 18.—Because of
the number of new laws being dumped
into the office of the Secretary ot
State, and the changes in the laws af
feettng the fees ot' that office and the
franchise taxes of corporations the
force in that department Is doing
overtime to keep up with the work.
The new franchise tax law went into
effect on March 1. necessitating a very
material change in the work of the of-
fice. Last week that law was amend-
ed, making another change necessary,
and yesterday the Bowser bill became
effective, rendering another change
necessary. The new franchise tax law
left insurance companies out. But the
free conference committee which
handled the Bowser bill provided that
insurance companies should continue
to pay franchise taxes. So notices will
be sent to all insurance companies
that they must pay the franchise tax
by May 1 or quit business. They will
receive this cheering intelligence on
top of the announcement that life in-
rance companies must pay 2 per cent
’ tax upon gross premiums instead of
, 1 per cent, as formerly, and that fire
companies must pay 11-2 per cent
upon
1 cent.

Sudden Death of Prominent Citizen.
Texarkana: Peter S. Ratrfseur, one
of the oldest residents of Bowie Coun- -

Hooks, twelve miles west of here,
Sunday afternoon. He was going after
Doctor Rochelle to see Mrs. Ramseur,
who was ill. and when in sight of the
doctor’s house was suddenly stricken
The matter will come up with paralysis. He was lifted from his
. ■ buggy and taken Into the doctor's res
1 idenre where he died within an hour.
The deceased was one of the wealth-
iest and most popular citizens of the
county. He was one of the original
settlers of Texarkana, but moved away
about twelve years ago, returning to a
farm near Hooks. Mr. Ramseur was
54 years old. He leaves a wife, but no
children.

The GueeaerB Are at Sea a» to Prob-
able Action
Paris, April 18.—The dispatch from
Saigon announcing the presence of
Russian warships at Kamranh Bay
is considered as showing that Admiral
Rojestvensky is not moving north as
fast as expected.
The fact that Admiral de Jonquierre
the French naval commander at Sai-
gon Is proceeding to Gamranh Bay and
the departure from Saigon last night
of a vessel having on board a cargo
ot Russian stores combined to indi-
cate that the Russian rendezvous is
not distant from Saigon and probably
that it is near Kamrah Bay.
The officials here say that no gov-
ernment dispatches have been receiv-
ed. They have been privately inform-
ed that the Russian squadron was off
the coast of Indo-Chlna two days ago,
but are positive that the squadron is
now further north, probably sheltering
along the coast of Annan. This local-
ity is considered particularly danger-
ous owing to the rocky coast, the cur-
rents and the prevalence of tropical
storms.
The appearance of a case of beriberi
at Saigon causese, apprehension, as
the malady rese>»Vs yellow fever
and is similarly infectious.
The halt of the Russian squadron
apparently was due to Admiral Rojest-
vensky's desire to have an opportunity

To Save His Large Vessels He Will I
Make Torepdo Fight.
Ixmdon. April 19.—Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister to Great Britain I
expressed the opinion to the Associat- I
ed Press that Admiral Togo would not I
give battle to Admiral Rojestvensky
with his entire squadron, but would
continue the cautious tactics which
characterized his attacks ou the Port
Arthur squadron not because he feared
defeat, but owing to his desire to in-
flict the greatest amount ot damage on
the Russians with the least loss to
himself. While confident of his abil-
ity to accomplish the total destruc-
tion of the Russian squadron in a big
battle, there is the danger of Togo
losing one or two of his big ships.
Therefore', Baron Hayashi believes,
Togo will employ Ms torpedo boats
and torpedo boat destroyers, which
number more than a hundred and are
vastly superior to the Russian torpedo
boat flotillo, in harassing the Russians
gradually picking oft the Russian war-
ships. He said the coast of Japan,
Korea and Formosa I<*nd themselves
to night work with torpedo boats,
while the narrow channels w-ill make
the maneuvering of large warships
difficult and dangerous.
Paris, April 19.—The Russian naval
attache here, Caut. Yepantchine, In an
interview says he believes the strate-
gic situation will lead Admiral Togo
to await Admiral Rojestvensky off
Nagasaki, Japan, where Togo will
have a base to repair his damaged
ships. This, Capt. Yepantchine adds,
is Important owing to the Japanese
not having reserve vessels. The cap-
tain further says Togo's strength rep-
resents seven battleships, against Roj-
estvensky's five. The gun power of
the squadrons, he asserts, is practical-
I ly the same. Togo's heavy guns, dis-
mounted for use at the siege of Port
Arthur, have been replaced by new
I guns of English and American make.
