Russians Lose 3000 to 4000 Men in Yalu Battle
A Russia report to the emperor from General Kuropatkin dated May 4 details heavy combat on May 1 near Wiju Turenchen and Potietinsky. It notes 3000 to 4000 Russian deaths, Japanese assaults, numerous batteries, and intense shelling as Russian forces receded under pressure from Japanese troops.
Turenchen Front Falls Back Under Japanese Fire
Reserves could not reach the advanced force in time as our troops retreated to a rear position behind Turenchen. Japanese batteries pressed a heavy fire on the new position while turning our left flank toward Chin Gow. Lag-Fun-Hou was occupied by two battalions and a battery, enabling our advanced line to retire. The 11th and 12th Regiments suffered heavy losses, with several colonels among the fallen, and guns at Poulemetts were disabled. Up to 820 wounded, including 14 officers, have been brought in.

Murder Stirs Mahanoy City in Philadelphia Girl Killing
In Mahanoy City Pa May 4 the murder of 11 year old Philadelphia girl Lillian Humes at the reservoir site Monday evening remains a deep mystery. Deputy Coroner Dr George W Reese and other physicians visited the scene and questioned the family but offered little new light. A double barreled shotgun and shells were found.

He returned from work at 5 o clock to find the child dead on the kitchen floor with the top of her head missing. No lead on a bloody faced foreigner seen fleeing the scene.
