HINT POLITICS IN
KUEHNLE'S PARDON
FieIder's Consent Said to Have
Been Spurred by Ambition
to Be U. S. Senator.
Especial to tho Evening start

TRENTON, April 16.-Politics is
seen in the pardon of Louis Kuehnle
former Republican leader of Atlantic
county: eX-Sheriff John Zeller. OF
Hudson, and other officials who will
soon leave State prison. 1t is limited
that Governor Fielder freed them
with an eye to his United States SEN
atorial candidacy in 1916, and
Kuehnle and Zeller and some of the
others control large portion of the
States voters.
Not since the wholesale jail de-
livery in 1890, when sixty five ballot
box suffers from Hudson county
were turned loose after serving five
months of their prison sentences, has
any act of the Court of Pardons pro-
veked so widespread comment and
criticism Governor Fielder Is the
first chief executive so far known to
personally go to the State prison and
take charge of the work of preparing
the way for the liberation of the pris-
oners.
Governor Fielder went to the prison
IN person last week TO look into the
cases of Commodore Kuehnle, for
mer Sheriff Zeller and the other Of
hcials charged with grating in public
office. Another singular phase of the
matter is that except in cases of
death sentence or life Imprisonment,
pardons and paroles are usually
granted. The Communication of sem
tence" for political prisoners, so that
they are to go free June |, is a
method heretofore rarely, If ever, en-
ployed with ordinary convicts.
RumOrs of Deal.
Shortly after the election it was
noised around that the Atlantic City
prisoners would be liberated. Since
then there have been rumors that
action favorable to the Atlantic City
gang would be taken and that this
would likely pave the way for Glenn
ency for the thirteen Democrats con-
victed of ballot box stuffing in the
primaries In Hudson County last fall
These latter prisoners who have
been given sentences of one to six
years have not come to Trenton as
yet.
There is considerable speculation
as co the political advantage Gov
ernor Fielder may get out of the
pardons, should he enter the race for
United States Senator two years
hence. Kuehnle is concededly a great
power in the organization politics of
South Jersey and could doubtless
throw many thousands of votes to
any candidate he desired to favor.

Regiments AnnihiIated
by Big Surprise Attack
Special TO The Telegraph


Milan, Aug. 14.-How 500 Cossacks
ennihilated two picked Austrian cav
airy regiments from Lemberg is told
graphically in dispatch which reach
ed the Corriere DItalia by way of
Trieste.
Emboldened by the withdrawal of
Russian forces to some Is miles on
their side of the frontier, cavalry from
Lemberg made a forward dash as far
as Bielgaraj. No sooner did the Rus
sian Governor of Hablin get wind of
the invaders rally than he rapidly
collected a horde of Cossacks and put
himself at the head of this force.
Supported by field artillery. they
moved in the dense forest skirting the
main road for a couple of miles out
side of town and then set about the
preparations of the ambuscade for the
enemy. Owing to the heavy rains
and consequent overflow of the River
Weepz, a tributary on which Biel-
garaj stands, the whole country was
converted into a vast swamp.
Toward evening the Austrians had
to pass this spot on their way back to
headquarters from their predatory
excursion. Their advance guard trot-
ted TRANQUILITY past, for none of the
Cossacks could be seen. Only few
peasants, toiling here and there in the
fields, were visible. All of a sudden
the main body of cavalry founC them
selves in the midst of a ferocious on
slaught both front and rear.
Not a single Austrian escaped to
tell the tale.

Dearth, Not War, Sends
Up Prices, Says Armour

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Vigorous de-
NAL that packers have made the
European war an excuse to put up
meat prices was made to-day by j.
Ogden Armour, president of Armour
and Co, in a statement. He said that
the reason for the advances was that
receipts at the stockyards here for the
last two weeks have been approach
ing a famine" basis.
In that time, the statement ex-
planned, Armour & Co, have killed
fewer hogs than during any similar
period in the history of the concern.
THE nine Armour plants killed
only 14,73S hogs last week, against
70,33S the week before the war" the
statement read. They killed only
17,512 cattle last week, as against
21,S36 the week before the war, and
only 80, ,334 sheep last .yeek, as
against 46,S95 the week before the
war"
Mr.. Armour said the packers have
contended with n shortage of live
stock for year, and lately with the
natural tendency of the producer to
hold back his stock in hopes of war
time prices.

DIVIDE HONORS IN
DAVIS CUP MATCH
Williams Loses in First Contest; /;
But Mclaughlin Has the
Best of Brookes
Special to The Telegraph

Forrest Hills, N. Y. Aug. IA. -
Americas chances for retaining the
Davis cup are still fair, for as result
of to-day's opening matches at the
West Side Tennis Club courts in For
rest Hills. l.. l.. the defenders are tied
with the challenging Australian team
at one point all.
AS result the winner of the trophy
and championship cannot be decided
before Saturday.
Anthony F. Wilding, of, the chal-
longing team, defeated r. Norris Will
liams I'd, of the American defenders,
in straight sets. Us, 6-2. 6-3. Not the
least disturbed by the defeat of his
teammate, Maurice F.. Mclaughlin
evened the days score by defeating
Norman e. Brookes captain of the
Australasian quartet, and considered
the worlds master at tennis, in three
stirring sets by scores of 1918, 6-3,
SO.
The score. 17-15, set a new world S
record for cup tennis, supplanting the
1914 match played between Wilding
and Lowe. of the Australasian and
English teams, respectively at Boston
| last week.
The play during this opening en-
counter of the match was so perfect
and spectacular that the thousands of

rounded the courts were tense with

George Warns Subjects
Against Traitorous Acts
Special to The Teleerabk

Philadelphia, Aug. 14-Two impor-
tant Royal proclamations issued by
King George were received by Sir Will
fred Powell, at the British consulate
yesterday. One proclamation an
nounced the articles Great Britain
would regard as contraband of war in
her war with Germany. The other
was warning that the King would re-
gard as traitors all subjects who con-
tributed to, or assisted In the floating
of any loan by the German govern
ment during the continuation of the
war.
The articles regarded as contraband
of war were named under two sched-
ules. The first schedule specified the
articles looked up as absolute con-
traband and referred to materials
having direct application to naval or
military armaments. The second
schedule named articles that will be
treated as conditional contraband or
those that are fit for but not neces-
sarily having direct application to
hostile uses In both classifications
the subjects of neutral powers are
forbidden to supply the articles nam

Marietta, Pa, Aug. 14.-This sec

visited by a severe electrical and rain
storm, with considerable damage on
Wednesday night and lightning struck
several buildings at the White Swan

her. At the Rudisil homestead bolt
followed the water pipes and Mrs:

winner.
The stroke execution, skill in place
ment and change of pace were so
evenly apportioned that at times the
racquet masters appeared to play like
machines rather than human beings
with worlds championship at stake.
Aside from the wonderful play of
Mclaughlin and Brookes, the opening
matches were chiefly remarkable for
the brilliant assembly that witnessed
the contests at the new home of the
West Side Tennis Club. Every avail
able seat of the 1850 included in
stands and clubhouse was occupied
and several hundred late arrivals were
unable to obtain admission to the en-
closure.
Society, as represented throughout
the Long Island country colonies and
the astern cities. was much in evi-
dence. the attire of the women fur
nishing a setting rivaling in brllliancy
that at the recent International polo
games at Meadowbrook.
The spectators of both sexes ap-
peared stunned at the east with which
Wilding defeated Williams and feared
apparently that Brookes would follow
with a victory over Mclaughlin. since
the AuStralaSian team captain de-
feated WildinG in straight sets in the
English all-comers' tournament played
at Wimbledon early in July. When Ii
was seen. however, that the American
champion was holding his own against
Brookes the applause which followed
each winning stroke could be heard
several blocks away.
The doubles match was scheduled
at o'clock this afternoon, with
Wilding and Brookes representing the
challenging nation and Mclaughlin
paired probably with his regular part
ner, T. G.. Bundy, playing for the
United States. The Americans must
win this match or take both singles on
Saturday in order to retain the cup.

NEW YORK, May live have

IeY LEASED WIRE1

CHICAGO, May 11.-For the first
time in the history of Chicago base
ball, three major league clubs played
in this city yesterday when according
TO the experts something like $4,000
fans gathered in the three big league
parks to witness the national game.
Careful estimates showed that the
Federals outdrew the other two Chi
cago clubs, the White Sox running a
close second. Estimates as made by
experts are: Chicago Federals,
$4,000; Chicago White Sox, 10000;
Chicago Cubs, 10000.
The above figures clearly show that
organized baseball is not the only
drawing card in the game. On the
West Side the great Hans Wagner was
the shining light. On the South Side
Ty Cobb was the big noise, while on
the North Side Mordecai Brown held
the center of interest.
