The fastest time ever made over
course in gulf coast regatta IS
expected here on July Fourth, when
the annual regatta OF the Pensacola
Yacht club will be given. The list
or entries in the various events al
ready has reached thirty and marv
more are expected as entries do not
close until Saturday at noon.
All indications point to the most
successful regatta ever given, as in ad-
dition to the long distance race from
New Orleans many other events have
been planned. A letter received last
night from New Orleans said that the
entries in the long distance race are
at West End. ten miles from the CITY.
and have been provisioned ready for
the start Thursday afternoon for Pen
sacola.
Some fast time is expected for the
reason that the owners Of speed boats
are getting their entries in shape.
Capt Brown has two fast boats that
have been entered and W. A Durham
has two of his fastest in the races. The
aviators at the navy yard have already
entered one boat that on her trial trip
yesterday made a record of between
30 and 40 miles an hour and they ex-
peCt to put in another equally as fasr.

ELIZABETH NEEDS ONE
LEG TO WIN TROPHY

Captain Albert Mackle's cruiser
Elizabeth has won two legs on the
Carlo trophy. Should he win this next
race the cup will become his perma-
nent property. But Eliza beth will thls
time find herself in uncommonly f. st
company; faster than she has yet tack
led on this big race, with the possible
exception Of Captain Bob McClure's
Wait There is Commodore Jahncke ;
magnificent yacht Glendveer. and Z.
Commodore Thomas Sullys Dot" II
should prove an interesting contest as
between these three, and besides we
must reckon with Fleet Captain Percy
S. BenediCt's Violet, which beat Glen
doveer almost up-and-up in the annual
motor boat regatta of the s. I. c, 4
short while ago.
As We have already indicated, the
race is a gamble, at best, because Of
the many conditions and elements Of
chance which enter into it. The skip
per who steers the most direct course
and whose engine works the most con
sstently has, beyond any question, the
best chances of landing winner.
4 thorough good time is awaiting the
S y. c. yachtsmen at the Pensacola
end of the race. The Pensacola yachts
men are princes as entertainers. The
races on the Fourth of July-sai and
motor-under the auspices of the ?.
Y and NJ b club will be followed By
a big banquet and dance. In the in
term between the time Of the arrival
Of the S. Y. c. racers and the begin
ming Of the regatta other entertain
ments will be crowded in.
Commodore JahnCke has announced
that he will offer a special cup for the
race from Pensacola back TO West
End. which adds materially to the gin
ger of this big annual event.

AUSTRlANS DRIVEN BACK
THE Enemy has Marched Into Tamau,
Joseo. n krosno," Says Cryp-
tic Report from Vienna.

New York.-Russia has driven the
Austrians out of the towns Of Tarnow,
Jaslo and Krosno, in Galica. and the
Austrians probably now are retreating
toward the .Carpathian Mountains.
The enemy has marched into Tar
now. Jaslo and Krosno," is the cryptic
style in which the Vienna officials an
nounce this reverse to her arms. Pet
rograd merely announces the taking
of krosno, with heavy losses to the
Austrian al guard. Nothing is said
OF the other two towns in the Russian
official report.
On the western battle front the al
lies are said to have retaken Dixmude
from the Germans. This report is n
official, and has not been confirmed
by either Paris or London. Fighting
in the vicinity of Dixmude and also
around Hpres continues to be extreme
ly violent.
In the western zone both the allies
and the Germans make claims to sue
cess at various points. These claims,
however. do not carry with them an
nouncements of decisive victories at
any point.
The Germans say their marines at
Newport inflicted heavy losses on the
allies; that they captured 700 prison
ers.

New York.-Soldiers fighting in
trenches knee deep in water and
swept by driving rains is the story

a slight progress on the right wing,
the capture Of several hundred
French ami British In a preliminary
encounter, and the taking of a strong
French point in the forest of Argonne.

ments of late have been somewhat
elusive. appeared on Friday at Kol-

burg, according to a dispatch from
Basel, Switzerland.
Petrograd continues to report sue

FRANK DENIED NEW TRIAL
Only Recourse Of Albanian 10 to U. 8.
Supreme Court-ls Under Death
Sentence.

Atlanta.-Annulment of the death
sentence pronounced on Leo NJ Frank
for the murder Of 1~4-year-old Mary
Phagru was refused here by the su.
preme court of Georgia. 1t was the
sixth time that legal efforts in Franks
behalf had failed.
Hope of saving the life Of Frank,
who was superintendent Of a large
pencil factory here. now rests in a
possible appeal to the supreme court
of the United States or an appeal to
the governor Of Georgia to exercise
clemency. His counsel announced late
that an immediate attempt would be
made to take the case to the federal
supreme court.
The motion to set aside the verdict
OF guilty was based upon the ground
that Franks absencs from the court
room when it was returned by the
jury was a violation of the constitu.
tional rights Of the accused.
Franks absence was suggested BY
Judge d. S. Roam, who presided at the
trial. He informed the attorneys for
Dotn II STATE and the defendant thae
he feared a demonstration against the
prisoner II a verdict Of acquittal were
returned with Frank in the courtroom.
Counsel for Frank, with one excep-
ton, and the states attorneys agreed
to the absence. When 1t was decided
to ask for an annulment of the verdict
on that ground. Franks attorneys, who
had agreed to the proposal, issued q
statement saying that the defendant
knew nothing Of the plan for his abb
sence and did not give his consent.
They announced. however. that since
they had agreed to the plan, they
would not participate in the annul-
ment appeal, and it was entrusted to
other counsel.
