Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Vienna, Oct. 16.-(By mail to New
York )--Roman Catholic circles here
have been aghast ever since the fall
of Lemberg. concerning the fate hang
ing over the head of the old bishop Of
Lemberg. The earliest rumors to
reach the Catholic diplomatic circles
here were that the bishop of Lemberg
had been imprisoned by the Russians
These rumors were vague and could
not be confirmed. But within the past
few days an Austrian business man
from Lemberg has succeeded in reach
ing Vienna with the positive informa-
tion that the aged Roman Catholic
bishop of Lemberg is to be executed
by the Russians.
l happened to be the American
embassy here when two black frocked
priests from the Catholic diplomatic
circles here, were received, their
faces stamped with worry and dis
tless. They asked Frederick Penfield,
the American ambassador, who,
through the tangle of war, represents
the Russian government in Austria
Hungary, to save the life of the Lem
berg churchman.
Whether Mr.. Penfield will succeed
in his efforts is a question I wanted
to know why the Russians wanted to
kill Roman Catholic bishop and in
vestigation in Vienna disclosed the
fact that the war between Russia and
Austri-Hungary is in certains sections
holy war. 1t is the Greek against
the Roman church. j cannot find that
the statesmen of either country divide
their issues on this line, but the Rus
sian soldier in the field fights for his
true Cross, the Cross of the Greek
Catholic church and the Austrian SOL
dier fights back for the Cross of
Rome.
1t is only on the border between
the countries that severe fighting has
taken place and it is among the bor-
der peoples of both countries that the
religious feeling is paramount to pat
riotic sentiments. IL the Russians
penetrate farther into Austria-Hungary

(Written for the United Press)
New York, Dec 5.-Killing the fight
game in California may be fine for civ
ilization, but it will be pretty tough
on the fight game experts and the
real champions. When the last twen-
ty-round battle is fought on the coast,
it will mean that there will be left
only one place in the United States
where that length fight can be pulled
off-New Orleans.
This will mean that there will be
vastly more championship battles Of
ten rounds length pulled off than ever
before In ten round fight, the best
title holder that ever lived. stands
more showing of losing his title than
in longer affray. Ten round fights
very seldom end via the sleep route,
and everyone knows how lightly decis-
ions are hurled about after battle,
in which neither side wins decisively.
It doesn't take a professor in ap-
Piled mathematics nor man with

condition, the woods, prairies and cit
les will be full of champs, near-champs

Chicago, Dec. 5.--Police Capt. John
Halpin, Lieut.. John Tobin, Detective
Sergeant Walter O'Brien, were in
dicted by the grand jury in probing
the charges of wholesale graft in the
police department.
Their bonds have been fixed at from
$4,000 to $4,000. Another detective
has been indicted. His name will be
announced Monday The grand jury
declares that dozens of the policemen
took graft from clairvoyants, pick
pockets and crooks generally.
Bertsche, who with James Ryan,
was convicted of having swindled
Mrs. Hope L. McEldowney of La
Crosse, Wis, of $4,000, has been at
outs with the police department since
the revolver fight on busy down
town corner some time ago. Detec-
tives James Monaghan and William
Egan, Bertche, Nathan Spira, who had
just been convicted of arson, and one
or two bystanders, all went to hospit-
ais with bullet wounds.
After leaving the grand jury room
Bertsche told of an agreement he said
he had made with Capt. John ]. Hal
pin, until recently in charge of the
detective bureau, and Lieut.. John To
bin, by which Frank Ryan and his
men were to have a monopoly on the
clairvoyant business down town. "The
price was $500 per month for each
place" he said, ''but the police raised
it to $4OC and they tried to shake us
down for more"
Halpin and Tobin, both Of whom re-
Gently were transferred from the de-
tective bureau, denied Bertsche's
story.

Annual Event Tomorrow in Club
Rooms Impressive Ceremonies
for Departed Brothers Pre-
parations are Complete
The PUBLIC Is
CORDIALLY INVITED
Hon. B. M. Parmenter TO Deliver
Memorial Address Musical Pro-
gram Includes Misses Campbell,
Mrs. Trawick, Mrs. McKain

Inc annual memorial services OF
the Benevolent and Protective Order
OF Elks will be held at the Elks' club
rooms tomorrow at o'clock D. m. The
public is cordially invited to witness
the sublime teachings Of Elkdom as
exemplified on these occasions. An
elaborate musical program will be
rendered.
The services will not be of such a
solemn character that one is oppress-
ed, on the contrary the virtues of
brotherly love and fidelity are strong
ly impressed. Hon. B. M. Parmenter
OF Lawton, Okla, will deliver the
memorial address. He is an orator of
wide repute and his ability as a speak
er promises an Grafton that will linger
long in the memory of those fortunate
enough to hear him.
Exalted Ruler S. c. Durbin and the
officers and members of the local
lodge No. 755 have spared no efforts
to make this service the most inter-
esting in years and the presence of
the public will be deeply appreciated.
One of the most beautiful and pa
thetic customs of any order is that
established by the Elks to devote a
special day every year to their beloved
dead. The steadfast observance of
Elks Memorial day is in keeping with
the noble principles of Elkdom. 1t is
but natural that those practice unsei-
fish loving charity to their brothers
and adopt as principle: "The faults
of our brothers we write upon the
sands; their virtues. upon tablets of
love and memory" should observe a
special memorial day" to honor the
memories of their departed members.
Throughout the length and breadth
of the land Elks assemble together on
the first Sunday in December to par
ticipate in solemn and impressive
memorial services. The teaching of
loyalty 10 departed DrOtnerS is firmly
impressed upon the hearts and minds
of every Elk, and those outsiders who
attend these beautiful services must
realize that there is remarkable de-
gree of pathos, love and fidelity in
the great brotherhood of Elks. 1t is
noble custom which commends itself
to every kindly heart and gives to the
outside world different opinion of
the order which so many people asso-
ciate only with fun and frivolty. 1t
shows the solemn, serious side of Elk
dom which is much in keeping with
the noble teachings and lofty princi-
pies Of the order.

INDIAN IS
INJURED in
POOL HALL

Joe Humming Bird, an Indian start
ed out to view the sights along the
Boulevard de Plaisance in South
Town last night. In his innocent and
guileless wanderings he entered
Emanuel Reid's pool emporium. Dur
ing the staccato clicks of gyrating
worries some one smashed Joe across
the frontal bone with the butt end OF
billiard cue. Excuse me" muttered
Joe and ran from the premises. His
friends searched for him all the night
and found him on the depot platform
this morning with eyes swollen shut,
a deep cash across his forehead anl
his clothing starched with blood. He
could not tell what had happened, or
where or from whom he received his
injury. DR.. Emanuel dressed his
wound at the county jail office this
morning. Joe's friend, VIM. McKin-
ley, will take him to a camp near Car
negie, Okla, tonight. Officers are

ming Bird; if apprehended, Joe will

against him. There was a report
abroad that a murder had been COM
mitted, but the facts are about as
above related.

In TOLLS
OF THELAW

Mrs. Eta Wray, young wayward
woman of 16 years, is again in the
city Jail under the charge of lettering.
She was arrested by officers last eve
ming after o'clock. Recently His
Honor Mayor Burton and Mrs. NJ.
Coryell. manager of the United Chari-

that she mend her ways and seek as
sociations that would elevate rather
than besmirch her future. The mayor
suspended former fine and permitted
her to go to Oklahoma City with a sis
ter, hoping that she would stay away
from vicious companions in Chicka-
sha. She came back and fell into the
cid ways and is now in the custody OF
the chief of police pending the pay
ment of $40 fine.
There is something pitiful about this
case. In city of good people, influ.

and what is it? Mrs. Coryell would

FATE OF OLD PRIEST
AT CITY OF LEMBERG

the chances are that the religious as
pect OF the present conflict will dis
appear The Russian charge against
the priests in each town they have
taken is that they are acting as spies.
The border towns in Austria-Hungary
contain many Slavic inhabitants who
always wildly welcome the coming OF
Russian soldiers and it is these Slav
town folks who are Greek Catholics
and who usually accuse the Roman
Catholic priests in their town of act
ing as spies, The Russian soldiers and
officers hear these charges eagerly
and though definite information is
lacking | am told that no less than
fifty Romish priests have been exc
cuted as the Russians advance into
Austrit-Hungary.

cut their way out with bayonet at

The Germans at last succeeded in
cutting through the Russian lines, but
at the most terrible cost Of life. The
Teutons fell in rows but their COM
rades climbed over the dead bodies
and pressed on in Their determined ef-

practically annihilated, some having
less than 100 men left when their sup

German tales of Russian inefficiency
to bolster up the faith of the kaisers
people. Here is one that was widely
circulated in German military cir
cles;
After the battle of Tannenberg the
Germans who were routing the Rus
SLAMS over an open country we're sud
denly astonished to see an entire Rus
sian brigade turn and rush against
them. They cut down the Russians
with machine guns and bayonets but,
after the battle, not a sign of Rus
sian officer could be found. Three
hours later in a town farther on all
the officers in this Russian brigade
were found drinking in cafe where
they had spent the entire day. They
had wound up their brigade, much
as a child winds up a toy wagon, start
ed it off toward the German lines
without a single officer in charge of
it and then began a day of drinking in
the village tavern. Their luggage in
eluded many trunks which were fill
ed with the laciest of lingerie, silk
stockings and other delicate articles
of feminine wear.
"Why do you carry these?" asked an
Austrian officer of his prisoners.
"Oh, we wouldn't let our women
come into the danger zone," answered
a Russian.
