AUSTRIANS ARE REPULSED
Petrograd, July 18. (Via London.)
Russian victory over Teutonic
forces in southern Volhynia has re
sulted in their being driven across
the river Lipa and beyond that
stream, says a war office statement
issued today. Indications are, the
statement adds, that the retreat was
effected in the greatest disorder.
Theofficial statement says:
"In the Riga region there was an
artillery duel. The Germans at many
places attempted unsuccessful to re
capture lost trenches.
"As the result of the latest skillful
operations of General Sarakoff's
troops in Volhynia we gained a vic
tory on July 16, which brought us
13,000 prisoners and thirty guns, as
announced yesterday, and enabled us
to sweep the enemy completely from
the left bank of the lower Lipa, driv
ing him to Krassoff and beyond the
river. Judging by the abundance of
war material the enemy abandoned,
he retreated in great disorder- Some
of the seventeen heavy guns captured
were yesterday already bombarding
enemy positions on the south bank of
the Lipa."
Austrians Pressed Back'
Vienna, fulv 18. (Via London.)
Austrian advanced posts in tne region
of Zabie and Tatarow, south of Kolo-

issued today. The main Austrian
positions, however, have been firmly
held. .
In Volhynia, in the region south
west of Lutsk, Russian attacks failed.

Soldiers' Families
Cannot Be Evicted
In Pennsylvania
Pittsburgh, Pa., July 18. Families
of soldiers in service of this state or
the federal government cannot be
Evicted by civil process for non-payment
of rent while the soldiers are m
such service. Since the military units
in Pittsburgs went to the front, hun
dreds of families have been notified
to pay their rent or move out. Mayor
Joseph G. Armstrong and City So
licitor Charles A. O'Brien will enforce
the state law, passed by the 1915 legis
lature, providing against just such a
contingency. Payment of rents can
not be forced until thirty days after
the soldier has been mustered out of
service. The law of April 9, 1915, is
a barrier against landlords' warrants.

to grow, and estimates of $15,000,000
damage probably will be increased.
Measures frV the relief of passen
gers on trains marooned near Ashe

manufacturing plants were demolish
ed, crops were ruined and the popula
tion was described as being in need

Believe That They Kill One of
Raiders Opening Fire
Across River.
NO OFFICIAL REPORTS
EI Paso, Tex., July 18. A party of
mounted Mexicans exchanged fire
with Company L of the Ninth Massa
chusetts infantry near here today. Ac
cording to reports the guardsmen
were doing outpost duty when the
Mexicans rode up on the opposite side
of the Rio Grande and opened fire.
The guardsmen suffered no casualties,
but reported they believed they had
killed one Mexican.
Captain Hickey of Dorchester,
Mass., commanding the company, es
timated the number of Mexicans at
fifteen, but asserted that he was un
able to determine whether or not they
were soldiers. Approximately forty
shots were fired on each side, it was
said.
Deny Report Received.
Both General George Bell, jr., com
manding the El Paso military district,
and Lieutenant Colonel Leon Buck
Ion, acting garrison commander in
Juarez, denied that they had received
official reports of the incident and
both said that it seemed trivial.
The shooting occurred in an iso
lated district about three miles down
the river from El Paso, known locally
as "the island" section. The Massa
chusetts company was doing border
patrol duty in this district, one-third
of the sixty men being on patrol and
the remainder being held 111 reserve
in the camp about half a mile to the
rear.
Captain Hickey said that through
out the day small parties of Mexicans
appeared from time to time on the
Mexican bank of the riev.r which is
about 300 yards wide at this point.
Then, he said, a mounted detachment
appeared.
Creep Through Brush.
The Mexicans rode up to the river
bank, dismounted and deployed as
skirmishers, creeping through the
underbrush which dotted the river's
edge.' One of the Mexicans "fired his
rifle, the bullet crossing the river and,
according to Private; Charles Pscott
of Natick, Mass., ; dropping at his
feet. . "-'' ' ' '
Screening thetnselves as much as
nossible bv little clumps of mesquite,
the Americans returned the fire, and
by the time the reserves reached the
river to reinforce them, they had
driven the Mexicans back to their
horses. Before reaching the picket
line, however, the militiamen asserted,
one of the Mexicans stumbled and
fell into a clump of greasewood and
did not arise.
. The exchange of fire continued less
than ten minutes and when about
fifty shots had been fired on each
side, according to the company offi
cers, the Mexicans, riding south .dis
appeared behind a hillock.

Washington, July 18. The allied
embassies here expect the German
underwater liner Deutschlaud -to
start on its return voyage at any hour,
probably within a day or two. It was
made clear today that the embassies
have made no protests and prbabbly
will make no further move until after
it has sailed.
Agents of the allies have pointed
out to the embassies that the corre
spondence of Captain Franz Von Pa
pen, the withdrawn military attache
of the German embassy mentioned a
Paul Koenig in connection with the
plots to destroy the Welland canal.
No attempt has been made, however,
to identify Captain Koenig of the
Deutschland as the same man.
Eight members of the crew of the
Deutschland were shown through the
White House and President Wilson's
offices today. The sailors took turns
sitting in the president's chair. They
I were under orders to return to Balti-

Baltimore, July 18. That the Ger

by tonight and be ready to leave with

of observers who have been closelv
watching the boat and activities about
it since it was docked here on Mon
day morning of last week
It was recalled that Captain Paul
Koenig had stated when he entered
his arrival at the custom house, that
he thought he would sail on his re
turn voyage within ten days. Tha'.
period is up tomorrow.
An attache of the German em
bassy appeared at the wharf this
afternoon and delivered a large pack
age tc Captain Koenig. It was pre
sumed to be from Ambassador Von
Bernstorff.

1 ,l,-vitK FOR REPRIEVE
f London, July 18. Without hearing,
the attorneys for the crown, the conn
of criminal appeals today dismissed
Sir Roger Casement's appeal from
the verdict of the lower court, which
found him guilty of treason, for which
Viscount Reading, the lord chief jut
tice, sentenced him to death.
For a day and a half Alexander Sul
livan. Sir Roger's counsel, areued be
fore the court, quoting many author
ities in tavor of his contention that
the offense of treason depended upon
whether the accused dwelt under the
protectio.i of the king and that the
crime could not be committed with
out the realm. He abandoned his
other points in regard to the lord
chief justices definition of the of
fense. As soon as Mr. Sullivan had con
cluded his argument, the court re
tired to consider whether the attor
neys for the crown would be called
on to reply. It soon decided to the
contrary, which indicated that the
appeal had gone against Sir Roger,
who was present during u argument
and when judgment was given.
A further appeal to the House of
Lords is possible only if the attorney
general giv.es a certificate that the
decision of the court of criminal ap
peal involves a point of law so ex
ceptionally important that if is de
sirable in the public interest that a
still higher court should deal with it.
Attorney Michael Francis Doyle of
Philadelphia, ot counsel tor air
Roger, expressed an opinion today
that it was improbable the attorney
general would certify the case for
appeal to the House of Lords, as the
appeal court did not consider it
necessary to hear argument for the
government. Powerful influences are
working for a reprieve, said the at
torney, and there were strong hopes
of one being granted.
Arredondo Has
Conference With
Acting Sec'y Polk
Washington, July 18. Eliseo Ar
redondo, Mexican ambassador desig
nate, called on Acting Secretary Polk
at the State department today just
before the latter went to the White
House for the cabinet meeting. It
was understood Mr. Arredondo bad
reeeivtd instructions from his govern
ment approving a tentative plan for
the settlement of differences with the
United States by: means of joint in
ternational commission. ( :'
There are indications that Henry P.
Fletcher, ambassador designate to
Mexico, will head the three American
commissioners if the plan is adopted.
Mr. Fletcher was present at today'
conference.
At the close of the conference Mr.
Polk said there was nothing to be
announced further than that the con
ferences were . "progressing favor
ably," and he intimated no announce
ment might be expected for several
days. Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Arre
dondo continued in conference after
Mr. Polk had gone to the cabinet.
Mr. Arredondo said his negotiations
with Mr. Polk were proceeding fa
vorably, and that formal announce
ment of the plan to be followed might
be expected before the end of the
week.
Senate Approves '
Big Navy Program
By Viva Voce Vote
Washington, July 18. The senate
today adopted the enlarged building
program of the naval bill by a viva
voce vote. It provides for the con
struction, within three years, of 157
war vessels of all classes and for four
dreadnaughts and four battle cruisers
to be built next year.
By a vote of 48 to 18, the senate re
jected an amendment to require three
of the new battleships to be kept on
the Pacific coast. It was argued that
the amendment would be an infringe
ment on the constitutional authority
of the president as commander in
chief of the -navy.
James H. Moore,
Financier, is Dead
Chicago, III., July 18. James Ho
bart Moore of Santa Barbara, Cal
brother of Judge H. W. Moore, with
wtjom he formed great corporations
known as the Moore group, died at
Lake Geneva, Wis., today. The
"group" was capitalized at $187,000,000
and was later absorbed by the United
States Steel corporation.
The Moorcs were Chicago lawyers,
who, early in the development of
great corporations got control of the
Diamond Match company and pro
posed to control the match industry
of the world. The Diamond Match
corner, which failed, is famous in
Chicago's financial history. It led
to a local panic and the closing of
the stock exchange.
The Moores made a new fortune
shortly afterward in National Bis
cuit. They paid off debts of $4,000,
000 and gained control of the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific, now
in the hands of a receiver. Their
combined wealth has been estimated
at $100,000,000.

Meeing at St. Paul Becomes
Prohibition Revival and
Love Feast.
F0S3 MAY BE NOMINATED
St. Paul, Minn., July 18. John M.
Parker's rallying cry to surviving
progressives, end his call, issued last
Saturday for a new national conven
tion , of the party in Chicago August
5 was blamed by prohibition leaders
here today for the collapse of their
plans.; fdf great "get-together con
ference, at which they had hopes to
enroll scores of prominent progres
sives, republicans and democrats.
Instead of a "get-together" event,
the meeting became a prohibition love
feast and revival services. The lead
ers had expected such men as Wil
liam Allen White and Victor Mur
dock of Kansas, Judge Albert D. Nor-
toni ot St. Louis, and perhaps Loloncl
Parker, himself, to meet with them
and pledge their affiliation with the
prohibition party.
None of these appeared today.
"Thev are afraid to join with us
until tlicy know we intend to go after
the votes with a ticket every progres
sive can support conscientiously,"
said Chairman Hinshaw. Mr. Hin
shaw indicated an intention to re
double his efforts to induce the
Parker convention to endorse the
ticket which the prohibitionists will
nominate here this week.
Eugene Foss returned to the list
of nomination possibilities today with
a telegram to Mr. Hinshaw in which
he said he would "give the nomina
tion every consideraton."
Havng received no reply to the
telegram, he and National Commit
teeman Patton sent last night to John
M. Parker asking whether he would
accept the vice presidential nomina
tion, H. P. Farris of Clin:on, Mo.,"
treasurer of the prohibition national
committee, inaugurated a boom to
day for Dr. Ira U. Uandntn ot wasli
ville, Tenn., for president and Miss
Ada Brchin of Chicago for vice pres
ident.
Dr. I.andrith is the first choice of
many delegates for vice presidential
honors, with William Sulzer, J. Frank
Hanly or Mr. Foss as the presiden
tial candidate.
The "get-together" meeting was
given up principally to speeches
prophesying victory for the prohibi
tion ticket in 1920 if not this year.
Eugene Chafin of Tucson, Ariz.,
acted as temporary chairman and
James M. Ingersoll of Poeatello,
Idaho, the only representative of an
other party who answered the the call
of the "drys" for the "get-together"
meeting, was permanent chairman.

Fiume and Vicinity
Shaken by Quake;
Is Greatly Damaged
London,' July 18. (12:36 p. m.) A
Central News dispatch from Amster
dam says great damage has been
caused by an earthquake in the region
of Fiume, Austria. In the city of
Fiume, the dispatch says, a terrible
panic was caused by the earthquake.
Fiume is a city of about 40,000, at
the northeastern extremity of the
Adriatic Sea. It is an important sea
port. There have been several earth
disturbances recently in the region of

Immigration Bureau Votes
To Admit Ciprianoo Castro
Washington, July 18. The immigra

Wilson Asks Senators to Pass
Child Labor and Workmen s Bills
Washington, July 18. Shortly after
noon today President Wilson went to
the capitol. It was the first visit he
had made there in months.
At the capitol the president con
ferred, in his private room, with Sen
ator Kern, the democratic leader. It
was understood that the president is
very desirous of having the work
men's compensation and child labor
bills included in the legislative pro
gram. They were sidetracked by the
caucus.
The president's visit to the capitol
was unexpected. There was no one
to meet him. Seeing a' senate at
tendant, the president said:
"Young man, could yet get Sen
ator Kern for me?"
The clerk returned with the ma
jority leader from Indiana. They
conferred for several minutes, after
which Senator Martin of Virginia and
Vice President Marshall entered the
president's room.
The conference concerned the legis
lative program and the time of ad
journment of congress, which the
democrats have tentatively fixed at
August 19.
The president, it is understood,
urged that the child labor and work
men's compensation measures be in
cluded in the imperative legislative
program. He sought to bring about
an arrangement that would not delay
adjournment, as he wished to begin
the campaign not later than Septem
ber 1.
Mr. Wilson was besieged for an ex
planation of his visit. ,
"It is simply a matter of program,
declared the president. "I wanted to
see several of the senators about a
legislative program and thought it
would be simplier to come here
rather than call them to the White
House." i
