GERMAN OFFICER PUT ON TRIA
In Russian Poland.

LONDON, Sept. 16.-A dispatch to
the Express from Rome states that
the two Austrian armies commanded
by Generals Dankl and Auffenberg
have joined forces at Rzesow, thir-
teen miles northeast OF Jaroslau and
thirty-two miles due north of Pre-
mysl. In the course of this opera
tion, the dispatch says, they lost 40
per cent Of their numbers.
The Petrograd correspondent of
the Exchange Telegraph company
quotes the military critic, Micha-
lowsk, as saying that Russia's VIC
tory during the last week over three
Austrian armies on the line from the
vistula ito the Carpathians leaves
the road to Budapest, along the
northern base Of. the Carpathians,
completely open. The first period
o fthe war on the Western frontier,
ne adds, thus ends.
Depends on Germany.
The debscle-for 1t seems nothing less
in the Austrian armies, means that Ger
many will have more and more to rely
mainly on itself; hence there will be
a greater fnterdependence OF events in
the eastern and western fields Of opera
tions.
What new forces Germany can put into
the campaign in the western area must
henceforth depend in a great measure on
how far 1t can neglect the Russian move
ment on Breslau. the capital of the Prus-
sian province of Silesia, 100 miles south
east of Berlin.
According to reports today. Emperor
William, himself. has gone to East Prus-
sia to take chief command of the Ger
man armies opposing the Russian invad-
ers. He may have gone there, but little
credit is attached to the assertion that he
proposes to take the active command out
Of the hands of a fighting general OF the
caliber of Won. Hindenberg.
There is the usual diversity of stories
today regarding the Austro-Servian oper-
ations. The Austrian general staff claims
to have driven the Sorvians out of the
province of 'Banat and from the eastern
district of Slavonia.
The Servians however, hitherto have
shown a marked capacity for reappearing

In the City Hall today the buck was
being passed between the Municipal
Court and the prosecuting attorneys
office. Each blames the other because
Weigle was allowed to get away with
out appearing in court.
Chief Justice Olson openly blamed
Walter Rooney. Rooney says the girl
wanted to drop the prosecution. But
the girl from the first has declared
she didn't get much of a chance to
say anything.
Accompanied by DR.. Thompson,
Miss Mckinney went to the offices of
Chief Justice Olson yesterday and
complained to him of the manner in
which the case had been handled.
After hearing the girls story, Olson
said:
There is no doubt in my mind that
Judge Graham was imposed upon and
that Prosecutor Rooney is to blame
for this miscarriage of Justice, 81
have often called attention to the fact
that our city prosecutors seldom do
their duty in that respect, and here is
a clear piece of evidence to substan-
tiate my charge.
Miss McKinney's story impresses
me. l believe she has been dealt a
great injustice. AS the case now
stands her friends are led to believe |
that she lied when she made the |
charge against the man. can cas-
lily understand how she was blindly |
led into the plan to free the man.
For the sake of Miss Mckinney |
and all other girls who might be an
noyed, this man, if guilty, should be
sent to the Bridewel for thirty days.
A good jab with a long, sharp hatpin
would soon discourage fitrts, and 1 |
should advise the young women to be
so armed"
The girl will appear before Judge
Graham this afternoon and formally
demand a rehearing of the case.

WANTS TO DIVIDE SEXES

Chief Gleason has come to bat
with a new stunt. He proposes to
have the movie theaters divided into
three sections. In one section will
be unescorted men, in another, un-
escorted women, and in the middle,
as sort of a barrier, will be placed
the men and women who come in
together.
The chief is very serious about the
idea. He's going to try and have the
judiciary committee of the city coun-
Gil recommend it for passage.

Fred Fake, a former Municipal
Judge and a power in the Chicago
Bar Association, may also be sum-
moned by Graham to tell what he
knows of the manner in which the
case was disposed.
1t is expected that Officer Fergu-
son of the South Park police, who
grabbed the offender when Miss Nc
Kinney complained against him, and
Officers Mcnamara and Kane Of the
Hyde Park station, who handled the
case, will be summoned.
Mrs. Leonora q. Meder, Commits
sioner of Public Welfare, brought the
hand of the city into the case when
she came out openly in condemna-
ton of the man and suggested a war
against the "foxy grandpas'' who
make business of annoying girls on
cars and trains.
Representatives of various wom-
ems societies will appear in court in
behalf of the girl. Though at first
Miss Mckinney was loath to press
the case on account Of Weig1e's wife,
she is now determined to see justice
done.
