: tion in Interest of Economy

Fittsburg, Dec. 5-An action which

during consideration. of the next year
budget, cut their own salaries $1,000
a year and passed, a motion which
practically demands that every city
official from the Mayor down volunteer
to accept proportionate cut.
Other motions which were consider
ed and which will be taken up after
a conference with the Mayor and his
cabinet will effect reduction OF 8
10 Is per cent on every salary above

opinion delivered at Annapolis yestcr-
day upholds the validity Of the acl
of the Legislature Of 1905 known as
Chapter 24S. which contains the
Jim Crow provisions. as pertaining
to railroad and railway companies
operating within the State. The
colrt. in its opinion. holds that Of
icials of all companies operating for
a distance of 20 miles or more from
an Incorporated city have the right
TO designate separate seats for white
and colored passengers ...
The decision was rendered in the
case of the state against James Jen-
kins, coiored, who appealed from the
ruling of the Criminal Court of this

holds that the statute was intended

interstate traffic would be in conflict
with the Federal constitution. This
suit had its inception in case on

Gates That kaiser's Troops Have
Been Hurled Back 20 Miles.

London. Dec. 5.--Ten thousand
Austrian and German prisoners ar
rived at the Russian fortress OF
Kiev on Wednesday of this week.
Reports from Petrograd state that
$50. 900 Austro- German soldiers and
$500 officers made prisoners by the
Russians have passed through k'eV

ports that the Lodz battle has term
mated in brilliant victory for the
Russians, have been confirmed.
The Russians captured many prls-
oners cannon, and machine guns.
The Russian official statement,
while claiming no complete victory
indicates that the Germans have
been swung back twenty miles at one
important point in their main line Of
advance toward Warsaw
Desperate fighting is now in prog
ress along the main road between
I.owicz and Lodz. Glovno, mention
ed in the official statement as being
in the 'ine Of The fighting front, is
about half way between these two
points.
The Official statement, therefore,
indicates that the Germans have not
been driven from Lowicz. the east
ernmost point reached in their ad-
vance but, with this town as pivot,
have been swung bacn twenty miles
from Skiernievice upon Glovno, di-
rectly west.
The Germans continue to nold the
left bank of the Flstula. The Rus-
SLAMS, however are making a deter
mind effort to cross the river, and
this would mean serious thrust at
the German line OF communications.
The Germans maintain a wedge iIs

apex, but their front has evidently
been extended by the Russian at

The German advance over the
western roads toward, Lodz and Pio-
