On the East Prussian frontier the
assuming the aggressive, and at some
points the Russians have even crossed
into German territory. In this region,
however, the German retreat was not
marked by serious losses. Some Of the
military experts here explain that the
passing of the Germans from the Of
fensive to the defensive Is due to the
corps from Poland to the western
theater of war
While the retreat of the Austrians
operating in South Poland and Galfcia
is not SO marked as that OF the Ger
mans, the official reports indicate that
they have moved perceptibly back

The suspended siege of Przemysl.
which is much acclaimed by the Aus
trians. is explained by the Russians as
to the cholera epidemic prevalent there.
Germans Frozen to Death.
Reviewing the situation ON the east
ern battle front, the Daily Mails Pc
trograd correspondent says:
Difficulty in living in the trenches
in the bitter weather already has be-
gun. Cases of men being frozen to
death among the German troops have
occurred because the trenches were
dug in marshy soil and now are filed
with ice. In such experiences the Ger
mans are far less able to endure the
winter than the Russians.
The correspondent adds that the Ger
mans are somewhat discouraged, owing
to the fact that the Austrians are now
fighting better than the Germans. This
fact is due, he says, to the wedding
of the Slay clements out of the German
ranks.

FEDERALs IN DEFEAT
HUERTA FORCES LOSE $500
TROOPS, is THE REPORT.
Rebel Commander Places Number of
His Men Wounded at Over 5000
Others Put 1t Lower.

Juarez. Mexico, April 16.-A nine
days battle, reported to have been the
bloodiest of the Mexican war, has been
won by Gen. Francisco Villa and his
rebel army.
The rebels, numbering 10000 or
$4,000, came upon the federals at San
Pedro de Las Colonias, in Coahuila,
40 miles east of Torreon. The fed
erals, numbering $4,000 men, we're
composed of the troops which re
treated from Tampico under General
Valesco on April 2, the forces of Gen
eral Mas, General Hidalgo,, General
De Mours and two others.
Official reports say the federals
were routed completely. Another re-
port had it that the federals having
been defeated all along the line, re-
treated in the direction of Monterey.
Losses In killed and wounded were
heavy on both sides. An official dis
patch from General Villa to General
Carranza says the rebels alone lost
5000 men in wounded. General Car
rama forwarded the report to Rafael
Zubaran, his secretary of the interior,
who remained here after Carranza and
other officials removed the provisional
capital to Chihuahua Mr. Zubaran is
inclined to think that the reference to
5000 wounded" was an exaggeration
due to telegraph mistake. and he
wired for confirmation.

SONG STOPS PANIC
IN FILM SHOW FIRE
NINE. TETRAZZlNI MARBLES AND
HALTS THE CROWD RUSHING
TOWARDS THEATER EXITS.
Noted Opera Singer Rises in Play
house When Someone YeIIs "Fire"
and Sweet Strains From Her
Voice QuelIs Tumult.

Canton. - Nine. Louisa Tetraz-
zini, the noted opera singer, arose
from her seat in a motion picture
theater and sang to stop panic
caused by the burning of draperies
drawn across one of the exit doors
The little theater was crowded with
"flm fans" watching the enactment of
a melodrama An incandescent bulb
on the wall exploded and the hot wires
fired the thin drapery curtains. AS the
flames shot towards the ceiling, some
one shouted Fire" and instantly a
panic started.
AS the women and children, making
up most of the audience, rushed toward
the exits, Tetrazzini stood up near the
center of the house and urged the peo-
pie to remain quiet. No one paid any
attention to her admonition, and going
down the center aisle toward the or
chestra pit, the noted song bird began
one of her concert selections.
Uhe song had an immediate effect.
The frightened people stopped their
mad rush and turned face about to
listen to the extraordinary voice.
Ushers quickly extinguished the
flames and Nine. Tetrazzini returned
to her seat and saw the rest Of the
show without anyone in the house
having recognized her.
1T was nothing" said the singer,
when interviewed after the incident.
Il was as much frightened as any of
them, but Thought of the singing right
away and it stopped the trouble"
Motion picture shows are passion
with Nine. Tetrazzini, she declared
here.

ACCUSE WANAMAKER
FEDERAL GRAND JURY REPORTS
CONCERNING lMPORTATioNs
FOR HEADS OF CONCERN.
OTHER LOSSES RECOVERED
No Indictments Returned by Grand
Jury for Alleged Duty Frauds Owing
to Failure to Place Personal Re-
sronsibility.

Philadelphia, April 17.-Investiga-
ton by federal grand jury of alleged
customs frauds was completed on
Wednesday when the jury made re-
port to the United States district court
recommending that the government
proceed to recover the duty losses suf-
fered because of alleged Irregularities
In the importation of personal goods.
The report of the jury stated that
"the investigation has concerned i'm
portations made by 'Wanamakers' dur
ing a period of upward of thirteen
years, both in general merchandise
cases and in so-called sample cases"
The jury finds that, with few excep-
tions, the importations made in gen.
eral merchandise cases have been
regular.
As to the importations made in
sample cases, the jury finds irregu-
larities both as concern importations
of merchandise for the use Of the busi-
ness and as concern importations Of
goods for the personal use of the
heads of the business"
The report further states that Gin
March, 1918. 'Wanamakers' paid the
government 100000 in settlement Of
the civil claim for unpaid duties
arising from the Irregularities concern
ing importations of merchandise" but
that alleged irregularities concerning
certain importations Of personal goods
were unknown to the government at
the time of settlement and therefore
the jury recommends that the govern
ment proceed to recover.
In the report, prior to its discharge
by Judge Thompson, the jury desig-
mated the defendants in its inquiry
merely as ''Wanamakers," but 1t is un-
derstood that the firm of John Wana-
maker is referred to.
The report further says: "The jury
returns no indictments. This is so be-
cause personal knowledge of these ir-
regularities on the part of the heads OF
the business does not appear with suf-
fcient clearness to warrant the find
ing of an Indictment"
John Wanamaker in a statement
said the amounts involved in the al
legged irregularities were small. He
also said he had confidence in his en-
ployes handling imports.

AT TRIAL, is CHARGED WITH
VIOLATING CONSTITUTION.
SEEK TO ANNUL SENTENCE
Georgian Convicted and Sentenced to
Be Hung for Murder of Mary Pha-
gan in Alleged slayer's Factory, May
Have Supreme Court Hearing.

Atlanta, Ca, April 18.-Possible ba-
Frank, under death sentence for the
murder of Mary Phagan, fourteen
year-old employe in his pencil fac
tory, to the Supreme court of the
United States, was laid in motion
for annulment of his sentence, filed
on Thursday in superior court here.
The motion charges that L. S. Roam,
the presiding judge at Franks trial.
advised counsel for the defense that
in the event their client was found
guilty it would be unsafe for him to
be in court when the verdict was an
nounced, an| that such action was in
violation of the federal Constitution.
This action stays the prisoners exc
cution
The motion was filed by a local law
firm hitherto not connected with the
case and attorneys who haye been in
charge of Franks defense said the
action was taken without their knowl-
edge. They had completed prepara-
tions, they said, for fling within few
hours an extraordinary motion for
new trial on ground of newly discov-
cred evidence.
The supreme court already has con-
firmed the young factory superinten-
dents conviction, but the point raised
by the motion was not brought before
that tribunal. Neither was it included
in the copy of the extraordinary mo-
ton previously fled

verdict in his case was announced on
August 25 last was waived by counsel
for both prosecution and defense. The
motion just filed argues chat these
waivers. did not make the proceedings
legal.
No results of the investigation being
made by Detective William J. Burns
are included in the motion. 1t is un-
derstood Burns report may be used
in amendments to be made later.
The body of the girl employe was
found in the basement of Franks plant
here on the morning of April 27, 1913.
Conley, the negro factory sweeper, tes-
tilted that Frank killed the girl in the
factory and that he aided in hiding the
body.
Frank was convicted on the first bal
lot of the jury.
