automobile bandit, from the two
banks he held up and robbed yester-
day before he was mortally shot in
pistol duel with three policemen.
Patrolman Edward Knaul, the officer
shot by Hohl, was operated on early
today and the attending physicians
held out very little hope for his re-
covery.
Hollis body still lies unclaimed
ut the city hospital His wife. Mrs
Bertha Hohls who was arrested last
night, declared she would not claim
the body. She denied knowing any
thing about the robbery, saying that
she was even ignorant OF the fact
that Hohl had been in the city. Mrs.
Hohl said her husband left her more
than a year ago because she would
not take an active part in his career
of crime.
Policeman Knaul. who was shot by
Hohl yesterday during the latter's
pursuit, died today in hospital here.
The police were busy today search
ing for another woman. whom they
believe was the bandits confederate
and whom they think he gave the
$1S.100 that he obtained from the
two banks.

SWALLOWS POISON
TO TAKE HER LIFE
Woman Who Says She is Mrs.
Ray Cork May Die As Re-
suit of Her Act.

At the noon hour Friday woman
saying she was the wife OF Ray Cork
stopped in front OF drug store on
Fourth street and complained that
she was Ill. When she was given
permission to enter the store, as re-
Quested by her. she informed the
druggist that she had swallowed two
tablets OF deadly poison. A physi-
cial was summoned.
If 1t is true that she swallowed
what she said she did, she will likely
die.
Asked why she swallowed the
poison, she stated that she wanted
to die because Ale had been mis-
treated.
The woman and Cork were married
four or five weeks ago. She origi-
nally came from Warrington, where
her parents reside. Her maiden
name was Grace Bennett. She Is
said to have been married to another
man before she and Cork were mar
ried.

Berlin is Gay with Flags But
Petrograd Refuses to Con-
cede Victory to Invaders.
RUSSIANS FALLING BACK
In Western Arena Allies Seem
to Be Forcing Germans Out
of Trenches Inch byInch.

: LONDON, Dec. 1S-Again the
Germans and Austrians seem to be
on the crest of q wave of battle as
the struggle in the west continues,
again Berlin is gay with flags and
again Petrograd declines to concede
victory to the invaders. Berlin and
Vienna, contend, however, that tho
Russians. are falling back along the
entire front from the Baltic to the
Carpathians with the invading center
less than thirty miles from Warsaw.
To the south where few weeks
ago Russians were pouring over the
Carpathians into Hungary combined
Austro- German columns have now
forced them back through the passes
and 1t Is asserted have advanced two
thirds of the way across Galicia and
are nearing the fortress of Lemberg,
occupied by the Russians early in
the Galician campaign.
The Russian official announcements
admit none of this. They dismiss
the happenings in Galicia as unin-
portant, class the operations to the
west of Warsaw in the same category.
1t is claimed, however. that the ex-
IRENE Russian right near MlaSa has
thrust the Germans back and that
Russian cavalry has swung across
the southern border of East Prussia.
In the western arena there have
been no events of great importance.
at least none has been reported.
Foot by foot the allies appear to btl
forcing the Germans out OF their
trenches in Flanders and maintaining
the pressure elsewhere on the front
from the sea to Switzerland.
The British press today naturally
makes a feature of the annexation Of
Egypt and the Sudan, which takes
from the Sultan Of Turkey 10000
900 subjects and 100000 square
miles of land. This action moreover
robs the Turk of his last foothold in
Africa. Italy having taken Tripoli
from him a few years ago.
All England Is still buzzing with
talk about the German raid on the
east coast, interest having been stim-
ulated afresh by the latest accounts
coming out of Hartlepool. Many of
the, naturalized Germans arrested on
the east coast after the German raid
have been liberated.

COOLEST
Weather of the Season as to
Feeling but Thermometers
Do Not Show It.

Moisture in the atmosphere led
many persons to believe that Friday
morning was the coolest of the late
cold snap in Clarksburg but the tenn
perature was not SO low as It was
Wednesday morning. Zero weather
prevailed, however, and several Their
mometers in different parts Of the
city registered zero and one or two
degrees below. The big thermome-
ter in front of the Waldo hotel was
exactly at zero at 8 o'clock in the
morning. a
The dampness in the air made the
cold much more PENETRATING than the
cold wave of Wednesday, hence Fri
day mornings weather was felt as
the coolest weather of the winter.

In Freight Rates to Many Of
the Railroads by the Inter-
state Commission.
WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS
Advanced Rates, 1t is Estimat-
ed, Will Increase Annual
Income $50, 100000.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-1ncreases
In freight rates approximating five
per cent on all the railroads between
the Atlantic seacoard and the Miss
issippi north of the Potomac and
Chic rivers were granted today by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in a divided opinion excepting upon
certain heavy commodities which
comprise a large bulk of the traffic.
The increases will further apply
to the railroads west of Buffalo and
Pittsburg which were granted partial
advances in the decision of last Au-
gust which denied them altogether to
the roads east OF these points. 1t is
estimated that the advance rates will
increase the annual income OF the
roads about s30,000,000. The com
mission made Its decision upon the
showing Of the railroads that in addi-
ton to conditions from which they
previously asked relief they now are
confronted with an emergency be-
cause Of the European war.
With Commissioners Harlan and
Clements dissenting the majority Of
the commission declared:
Whatever the consequences Of the
war may prove to be, we must rec
ognize the fact that it exists, the fact
that it is calamity without prec-
edent and the fact that by it the com
merce of the world has been dis
arranged and thrown into confusion.
The means of transportation are
fundamental aud indispensable agen.
cies in our industrial life and for the
common veal should be, kept abreast
OF public requirements"
Summarizing the basis Of it's d.
cision the majority report OF the
commission said:
The facts disclosed and occurrences
originating subsequent to May 80,

Tearing may be summarized under
