for First Session, at Which Time
Officers Will Be Named.

any guest who 1eeces the management
of hotel with bogus checks or other
wise.
Foe Protection.
Mr.. Bertelsen in an interview this
morning said: "It often happens that
a guest will hand us q bogus check.
After we discover it we try to make
/ it good, but often fail. Often a man
who puts one over on us here will go
| to Davenport the next time and do
the same at some hotel there. With
this association of clerks, we can put
| each other on guard"
| The meetings will be devoted also
/ to social diversion and following the
regular business, each time the clerks
| gather, refreshments will be served
and an hour or two devoted to socia-
bility.
1t is planned to hold the meetings
each week at various hotels in the
three cities, a session one week being
held here, the next in Davenport and
the following one in Moline
At the meeting next Friday night
the constitution and bylaws will be
adopted and officers for the year elect
ed. The Rock Island and Moline clerks
are members of the Illinois Hotel
| Clerks association and the Davenport
greeters are affiliated with the Iowa
Nebraska association.

announcement this afternoon as fol

"The slackening of the artillery fire
of the enemy was, noted all along the

Two infantry attacks directed against

easily repulsed.
"There was no other engagement on
the rest of the front in Belgium and
as far as the Disc, nor was there any
action on the Aisne or in Champagne.
Nevertheless Rheims was rather vio.

An official Austrian statement is 10
the effect that the fighting has assumed
the character of a continuous battle.
In Western Galicia, it is said, the Rus-
slams have been repulsed by the Aus
trians. Latest advices from Berlin
state that the outcome has not yet been
decided, although partial German VIC
tories are reported.
opposed to this are the unofficial
statements from Petrograd, Paris and
London that the Germans have been
defeated decislvely and Earl Kitche.
ner's announcement in Parliament that
Germany has suffered the greatest re-
versal of the war. For nearly a week
these claims have been made with the
utmost confidence, yet the Russian
War Office withholds any word of de-
cisive developments.
In some particulars a similar situa-
t1on prevails in the west. London ex-
pected this week would witness one of
the most important and deadly strug-
giles Of the war as result of a renewed
German effort to break through to the
English channel. Official statements,
however, indicate that only sporadic
fghting is in progress. and as to the
results there is no reconciling the re-
ports from Berlin and Paris.
There is corresponding conflict
concerning the campaign in Servia.
The Austrian War Office asserts that
the advance into Servia is being
pushed forward successfully and that
the Serbs were beaten in two engage
ments. An official statement issued at
Nish, however, contains no reference to
such occurrences, merely saying that
the battle continues along the main
front, near the Kolubara river.
A holy war, which might seriously af.
feet the issue should it bring to arms
the millions of Moslems of the eastern
countries, has been formally pro-
claimed, as decided upon ten days ago.
The proclamation, signed by the Sui
tan Of Turkey, calls on Moslems the
world over to join in the war against
Great Britain, France and Russia.
Fears Of friction between European
Powers and countries of South America
over alleged violations of neutrality in

CROKER is MARRIED AT II
Tho Ceremony Was Delayed and Plans
Altered to Avoid Publicity
Bride Is 23

New York, Nov. 27.-Richard Cro-
ker, aged II, the former leader Of Tam
many. Hall, and Miss Bula Benton Ed
mondson, aged 23, the descendant of
chief of the Cherokee tribe of In
dians, were married yesterday at the
home of Nathan Straus, at 27 West
Seventy-second street, just two hours
after the wedding had ben scheduled
to take place in the rectory of st.
Agnes Catholic church. Previous to
the wedding the bride and bridegroom
had been playing hide and go seek
with large number of reporters, pho
tographers and moving picture men.
This, Mr.. Croker said later, was large
ly responsible for the delaying of the
wedding.
So great was the interest of persons
in the neighborhood of Forty third
street and Lexington avenue in the we'd
ding that for fifteen minutes before and
after the hour at which the ceremony
was scheduled to take place the street
was blocked in front of st. Agnes
church. This crowd consisted largely

When the wedding finally did take
place in the Straus home, it appeared
that the principal difference between
the "Indian' wedding and other we'd
dings lay in the presence of three best
men-Thomas F. Smith, secretary of
Tammany Hall; Andrew Freedman and

SEEKS TO GET OUT OF JAIL

Upon the ground that he has been
jailed on a warrant issued in alleged
irregular proceedings, Peter Stolics, a
foreigner, has obtained from the Dau-
phin county court writ of habeas cor
pus against w. w. Caldwell, warden of
the county Jail, to compel Caldwell to
show by what authority he is OBTAINING
Stolies. The defendant has retained
Robert Sucker as his counsel and a
hearing on the writ will be held to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Until recently Stolics was "board-
ing boss" in South Bethlehem. His
boarders, he declares, left him without
paying their board and he, being with
out funds, could not pay a grocer's bill
amounting to sos.
The grocer brought criminal action
to recover the claim and upon a war
rant issued in that case the accused
was jailed here on Wednesday. The
babeas corpus proceedings were brought
against Warden Caldwell because Stol-
les is now in Caldwell s custody. A
South Bethlehem constable likely will
be a party to the proceedings. Stolics
declares he left South Bethlehem and
came to Steelton in search of work.
