GERMANS take Three
TOWNS in POLAND
War Office Is Confident of Victory
Which Will Wreck Campaign
of Russians.
By FREDERICK WERNER.

Berlin (via Amseerdam), Nov. o.
Steadily. pressing forward south OF the
Weichsel CVistula) River, the German
forces in Russian Poland have captured
the three towns of Lowiez, Debsko and
Rozlazlow, according to a semi-official
dispatch received here from the front
early today. These three towns are on
the Bzura River. RozlazIow is only
thirty-one miles west of Warsaw.
News Of the capture of Lowiez, which
Is on the south bank OF the Bzura, indi-
Gates that the Germans have crossed thar
stream in force. Lowiez is an important
railroad point, two lines from there run
ming to Warsaw. one through Skiernie-
vice. the other through Socharzew, just
across the Bzura from RoZlazlow.
That English warships which recent
Gently resumed their bombardment of
German positions along the Belgian
coast, have been driven on by the Ger
man artillery and that the Germans
are making gains in the Argonne
region of France. capturing trenches
there. are the chief points brought out
by an oficial statement issued at the
war office today. 1t also states that
the situation in East Prussia is un-
changed. The appearance of Russian
re-enforcements in Poland from War
saw resulted in postponing the de-
cision of the battle in the region Of
CzesIochowa. To the northeast of Cra-
COW the Austro-German offensive is
maintained.
The utmost confidence was expressed
at the war office today that the re-
suit OF the battles now raging in Po-
land would be a decisive victory for
the Germans and Austrians and would
settle the fate of the Russian cam
paign.

LAWYERS open FIRE
ON n. H. INDICTMENTS
Former Directors Start Fight Against
Governments Suit-Make Long
Technical Objections.

New York, Nov. 2.-ThIs was the day
fixed by law for the twenty-one directors
and former directors Of the New Haven
Railroad. Indicted by a Federal grand
jury November l, to make final pleadings
on the indictment.
To the charge that they crIminaliy con-
spired to monopolize interstate commerce,
William Rockefeller, Robert W. Taft,
Charles F. Brooker, William Skinner, and
James S. Elton answered:
That the names OF the grand Jurors
who heard the evidence and charged
them with criminal violation Of the law
were drawn by a deputy clerk instead OF
the clerk OF the court;
That the deputy clerk lives out of the
Federal district, viz. in New Jersey;
That two stenographers were unlaw-
fully present in the grand jury room dur
ing the hearing Of the case.
That the term of the indicting grand
jury had expired and should not have
been continued.
T. De witt Cuyler, another indicted
defendant, answered that on February
Z. 1913. he appeared before the grand
jury which indicted Mellen, Chamber
lain. and Smithers in the Grand Trunk
merger and therefore is immune from
prosecution on the charge of con-
spiracy.
John L. Billiard put in a similar plea
of immunity on the ground that he
testified before the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Heaton Robertson and James S.
Hemingway presented demurrers to
the indictment. which set forth that
the facts charged do not constitute a
crime, that each OF the charges being
separate and distinct offenses are void
because Of duplicity. and that the
means and methods complained of are
not set forth with sufficient certainty.
Arguments will be heard tomorrow.

CHICAGO FIRST CITY TO
reopen STOCK MARKET
Cleveland Exchange Also Opens.
Prices Are Firm on July 30
Closing Basis.

Chicago. Nov. 23.-The Chicago Stock
Exchange opened its doors today and
trading was resumed where 1t stopped
on July 30. when, with other trading
centers. the exchange closed because of
the European war.
The Chicago exchange is the first Of
the great offcial markets in securities
throughout the world to resume opera
tons. Business began with the closing
figures OF July 60 as a basis for transac-
tions.
In the first 10 minutes 100 shares
of various stocks changed hands.
a representative crowd OF brokers
was on hand and smiles and congrat-
ulations passed between the traders.
Since August IA deals have been
transacted through the medium Of a
trading committee which authorized
transfers OF stocks at figures higher
than the July 30 prices.
The first transaction was a sale of
10 shares OF ST. Paul stock on the
same level as the July 30 closing on
the New York Stock Exchange.
Stocks traded in the first half hour
were Union Carbide. Peoples Gas, and
Canal and Dock. OF the strictly local
stocks. Union Carbide was the most ac-
tive, selling at sixteen points above the
July closing figures. Other stocks were
well above the July % close.
A cheer greeted the opening OF the ex-
change, but there was a dearth OF big
selling orders and a surplus Of buying
orders. which could not be filled. Holders
did not appear to be anxious to dispose
OF their stocks.

FRANK LOSES POINT
In SUPREME COURT
Justice Lamar Denies Writ of Error
in Murder Case-Decision With
held for Conference.

Associate Justice Lamar, OF the United
States Supreme Court, yesterday denied
the application OF Leo NJ. Frank, of At
lanta, for writ OF error to bring be-
fore the Supreme Court for review the
record Of the conviction and sentence OF
Frank for the murder OF Mary Phagan,
a little girl in Atlanta.
The text of Justice Lamar's decision
was sent to Franks attorney. but was
withheld for the present at the request
OF the attorneys pending a conference to
determine what further steps should be
taken for their client. 1t is probable Rp
plication will be made to other Justices
of the highest court and probably to the
full bench when it meets Monday. but II
is evident the attorneys have little nope
Of winning. Frank was under sentence
to be executed in October. His case
was passed upon by the Georgia Su-
preme Court which held. as did Justice
Lamar. that no error was committed that
amounted to an invasion OF the consti-
tutional rights OF the accused when he
was not present when the verdict was re-
turned in the trial court. The trial
judge had suggested to the prisoners
counsel that he ought not be present as
public feeling against the defendant was
running SO high that violence was
feared.

MAY OPEN STOCK EXCHANGE

New York, Nov avail Streets hopes
for an early opening of the New York
Stock Exchange were strengthened today
by intimations that the banks were ready
for that event, and were awaiting only
the arrangement OF details before organ
izing a call-money pool. Governors of
the stock exchange will meet tomorrow
afternoon for the purpose OF deciding the
question Of resuming business in bonds
on a restricted scale. A plan for resump-
ton came to grief last week.
According to statements made in
Wall Street, a call-money pool for
the protection of the stock market
can be accomplished readily, money
now being in plentiful supply. In ali
probability. any pool formed would be
under the direction of Albert H. wig
gin, chairman of the clearing house
committee.
As outlined today, the plan for re-
opening may be put in effect before
the end of the week; It is the same as
that practically agreed upon last week
that is, trading in bonds on a mimi
mum scale of prices to be fixed by a
committee, the prices to be changed
daily, IL in the judgment of the COM
mittee conditions warrant.
Bankers in q position to speak with
authority say that the stock exchange
will be opened for business this week,

VAR CODELOSE
SUPPORT OF U. S.
London Declaration Broken
by Governments An
nouncement. -
RATIFICATION IS HELD UP
Uncle Sam Will Stand on Rights
Under Inte.. nal Law
Principles.
RATIFICATION IS HELD UP

The complete breakdown Of the declsra-
ton Of London as a system of rules Of
naval warfare to govern in the present
war became known here last night with
the announcement that the United States
has withdrawn its suggestion that the
London convention be the guide for the
procedure Of belligerents in the war.
The United States has served notice
on all belligerents that, as far as 1t is
concerned, 1t will stand on its rights un-
der the established principles of interna-
tionaI law. This policy is already in
force in connection with the numerous
maritime questions growing out Of the
war. which have been the subject of dis
cussion with Great Britain.
The reason given by the government for
this position was that some beIligerents
In the present war did not care to ratlfy
the convention without substantial
amendments. These proposed modiica-
tions in the rules Of the Declaration Of
London, which were accepted in full by
the United States were of such vital i'm
portance that it was regarded as impos-
sibIe and impolitic to attempt to base the
position OF the United States In any con-
troversies which might arise with bel
Igerents on the London convention.
The announcement Of this action by the
United States came as the result OF the
making public at the German Embassy
of the text of a pro-memoria sent by the
German government 10 all the neutral
governments, discussing the attitude "t
the French and British governments to-
ward the London Declaration in the pres
ent war.
The pro-memoria pointed out the
radical departures from the rules OF
the declaration made by France and
Great Britain, in the face of the an
nouncement by the British that the
London convention would serve as a
guide to the British admiralty, with
some notifications.
It is alleged by the Germans. how
ever, that the British practices with
regard to conditional and absolute con-
traband. the invocation of the doctrine
Of continuous voyages" the classif-
cation of contraband and disregard of
the list Of noncontraband contained in
the London convention, the British
rules as to blockade-running, seizure
OF. ships and the forcible removal from
neutral ships Of enemy citizens liable
to military service are not mere modi-
hcations Of the London convention
rules, but 'wanton disregard" of its
principles.

DAIRY PROBLEM SOLVED.
q. NJ. s. TAFT Perfects Device to
PasteurIze Milk.

The problem of pasteurizlng milk while
in the bottle, which has baffled scientists
and civil health workers for years, has
been solved by Godfrey N. s. TAFT, a
consulting engineer of this city, and has
been patented by the Dairy Appliance
Company, of Washington. d. c. All pre-
vious devices have proved expensive, but
Mr.. Tait's appliance enhances economy
in the dairy.
The new invention saves labor by the
elimination OF a large amount Of hand
work; increases sanitation by permitting
the bittles to be filled while at a sterilia-
ing temperature, and reduces heat ex-
penses by the use of the fireless cooker
principle in sterilization. At each stage
Of the pasteurizing. which requires only
forty minutes under the TAFT system, the
process can be carefully followed by re-
cording thermometers and thermostats.
The system already has been installed
in one large dairy In this city.
