ARTILLERY FIGHTING
ALONE IN THE WEST
Infantry and Cavalry Move
ments Have Been Aban-
dOned for the Time-B Being
but Lull May Be Prelude
to Greater Effort

Storms and floods, the enormous loss
of life and the strain of incessant hight
ing apparently have taxed to the limit
of human endurance the armies facing
each other in a death struggle in Belgium
and northern France. Another lull has
come in the great battle which, presum-
ably, is but a prelude to one more des-
peiate effort.
To-day's reports from the front indi-
cate that assaults by infantry and ar
tillery have been abandoned for the mo-
ment except for minor engagements and
that only the artillery is continuing op-
erations with vigor undiminished.
Meanwhile the fighting continues on
many other fields. The Russian invasion
of Turkish territory from Caucasus has
been halted. The great campaign of the
Russians against the Austro-German
armies continues with varying fortunes
in different localities, with the chief in
terest now centering on the new Ger
man offensive movement against the Rus
sian center. In Servia the Austrian ad-
vance is being carried on, according to
Vienna reports, with further success.
Reports that Cracow is in flames after
the Russian onslaught, that the populace
OF both East Prussia and Silesia is flee
ing and that the Servians had been driv-
er further into their own country by the
Austrians figured in the dispatches re-
ceived in London to-day, and although
what really happened in Cracow is not
known the trend of the news seemed to
indicate that the Germans and the Aus
trians for the moment were at the bot
tom. Berlin is interpreting the retreat
of the German forces from Warsaw as
a strategic masterpiece but the people,
according to travellers, are expressing
widespread ehagrin.

HOT WATER SCATTERED WOMEN.
After Cold Stream Had Failed to Rout
Them at Yonkers.

Yonkers, \. V, Nov. 1.-Two hun.
dred women engaged in making sugar
bags went on strike yesterday at the
Federal Sugar refinery here, hurled
stones and bottles through windows and
were dispersed only when a stream of
Eot water was turned their way through
a hose. Cold water had failed to rout
them.
The women had been paid a dollar a
day; they went on strike because they
were notified yesterday morning that
in the future they would be paid at
the rate of one cent bag. They said
this would reduce their pay one.fourth.

f. C. Furlow. vice president of the

which elevators of his firm have been
placed. He was the guest of Robert

interested in the Ridgely apartments
where Otis elevators will be placed
MIR. Furlow was taken over the city
yesterday
II am greatly Interested in Birming-

by its wonderful building record given
our company unusual patronage, FIR
which we have at all time been CRATE

say that l was very much surprised
i have always heard that Birmingham
was great and growing greater every
year. but I was not prepared for such

got out of range of battle).
(After things had cooled down.
Commissioner Weatherly: This whole
matter has arisen out of misunder-
standing. 1 understood at the time that
these reports were introduced only as tho
reports OF Captain Eagin.
Judge CASTOR: l did not so understand
it. | never charged anything else, but [
Just wanted to call attention to the fact
that they were not all his reports.
Commissioner Weatherly: You can con-
tinue now.
This last remark by Commissioner
Weatherly was made after Captain Eagan
had succeeded in making everybody sit
down.
Just as Sle stenographer left his seat
and failed to get what was being said.
there were several things happening. On
ont side of the reporters table stood

On the other side of the line of battle

Everybody was talking and everybody
was striking the air. The room was
crowded to the doors and every man in
the room had arisen to his feet and was
trying TO see and hear everything that
was going on. In the bedlam of voices
could be heard Judge Lanes and Com
missioner Weatherly's saying: do your
duty, Captain Eagan. Ycu know what
to do chief. Do your duty, captain"
This is the situation which presented
itself to the eyes of Mr.. Brazelton as
he stopped listening and glanced up from
his note book.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-01-04

that he had never studied law; that the
city had a legal department; that a
club license gives house right TO
play cards and use chips but not keep
closed doors; that "touts' for gambling
houses are usually one-armed or Grip
pied men, and when they are arrested
for vagrancy the court turns them loose
because they are not able bodied; that
sometimes there are difficulties in Sc
curing convictions in higher courts;
that there Is nearly always long delay
before trial and that for that reason
witnesses sometimes are hard to find !:
that he believed his inferior officers
were faithful to their duty; that he
always reported gambling conditions
to grand juries and that proprietors of
some places were indicted and others
were not; that he had full sway with
instructions from the chief to do his
best; that he and his gambling squad
had put gamblers out of business a
few weeks ago and that he could have
done something at any time If he had
had same men; that the gambling
squad was composed of himself and
three other men; that grand juries did
not effect gamblers very much; that
when Captain Johnston was on gam

Witness stated. he had told McGll
that gamblers at Undine had 1t III
for McGill' and that he should not stay
there by himself as his life was in dan

was cause of enmity toward McGill
at Undine; that the day after, Chief
Bodeker was present at Undine when
McGill and gamblers there got into an
other disagreement and that Bodeker
told McGill also that his life was in
danger there and he should leave some
other officer work at the Undine; that
E. II. Hickman was arrested for run

be caught.

FRISCO SEEKS TO
ENJO|N ORDINANCE
OF TOWN OF DORA
File Petition in the Federal
COurt-Ordinance Limits
Speed of Trains to
Six Miles

Bill of complaint was filed yesterday
IN the United States court by James w
Lusk, W. c. Nixon and W. B. Biddie
as receivers of the st. Louis and San
Francisco Railroad company directed
against the town of Dora. The COM
plainant asks that a restraining order
or interlocutory writ of injunction be
issued enjoining the town of Dora on
its agents from enforcing an ordinance
to regulate the speed of trains running
through the town and to refrain from
arresting the agents or servants of the
railroad company.
The litigation is the result of the ac-
train service at Dora. which was fol-
lowed by the town authorities adopting
an ordinance prohibiting trains from
running through the town limits at a
higher rate of speed than six mile an
hour imposing penalty of a fine not
exceeding 500 for each offense or a
street sentence of not exceeding sis
months.
In the bill of complaint the company
contends that it has acted fairly with
the town of Dora in regard to train
service and that the ordinance, If ems
forced, will work an unnecessary hard
ship on the campany. The date of hear
ing has not been set.

Be HEARD TODAY
Treble Clef and AriOn Unite
i'm Chorus WOrk-Public
Invited

The larger part of Handels great ora
torio the Messiah" will be presented

soprano; Mrs. James w. Dean. contralto;
Arthur Thomas, tenor, and John Thomas,
basso. Miss Cornelia Handley will be at

While all the chorus numbers of the
Messiah" are stirring and beautiful. it
was thought best to give only selections
from the work, so as not to make the
programme longer than that of the modern
concert recital This will be the first
performance of the principal parts of the
Messiah in Birmingham since Mr..
Guckenberger so ably directed 1t many
years ago.
1t will be the first appearance of the
Treble Clef and the Arion this season.
Their next appearance will be the latter
part of January or the first week in Feb
ruary. The Treble Clef as it's name indi-
Gates, is made up of women, and the
Arion is composed of men, In the united
chorus today there Will be about 80 voices.
The Treble Clef has a membership of 10,
and the Arion 81.
This afternoons performance is to be
complimentary, and the public Is invited.
AS all music-lovers will be especially in
terested in this great music presented un-
der such excellent auspices, the church
will doubtless be filled to overflowing.
