CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD
 THROUGH THE MAILS
Three Men Enter Pleas of Guilty
 "Fly-by Night" Store Scheme.

New York. June 24.-AdoIf Jacobson, his son William and Julius Cohen, on trial here for engaging in a conspiracy to defraud through the mails, entered pleas of guilty today when a former employe on the witness stand told how he had been sent all over the United States and to Canada and London to establish what the government prose cutorS termed 'dy-by-night'' stores. Jacobson was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary at Atlanta, his son was given five years, and Cohen a year and a day in the same institution.
 During the trial evidence was pro- duced to show that eight confederates. operating as the Manufacturers Trad ing company, perpetrated commercial frauds totalling $200,000 on the ratings of reputable business concerns. The goods were ordered through the mails. Before the government put a stop to their operations, the Jacobsons and their associates operated fifteen retail stores in this and other cities. The places were maintained as long as creditors forwarded goods. When the bills began to arrive, the stores van ished and their operators opened up in other locations. In Albany they op- erated the Albany Drug company; in Buffalo, the Buffalo Jewelry company, and in Hartford, the United Supply company.
 On cross examination the former employe, Frederick Gleason, said: q have been Q crook ever since l >met Adolf Jacobson in 1905."

WITNESSES TESTIFY THEY
 BELIEVE THAW RATIONAL
Thaw Showed Evidence of His Satis-
 faction at Testimony Given.

New York, June 24.-Harry K. Thaw, sitting beside his lawyers at the jury trial to test his sanity, today heard sixteen more nesses-nearly all of them friends he had made during his HOjourn in Canada. and New Hamp- shire-testify that they believed he was a rational man. One was a phy- Bjcian who had attended to his sprain- ed ankle. another had sold him an au- tomobile, another had gone fishing with him, another camping, one was the sheriff who was his custodian in New Hampshire for sixteen months, one an alderman of Sherbrooke, Que, that he had invited him to settle down there as one of the city's business men. All declared that Thaw conducted him. self like a gentleman. had no deluSions and was rational both in speech and actions.
 Thaw, turning frequently to news papermen who sat near him, gave evil dence of his satisfaction at the mass of evidence his counsel was presenting to the jury in his favor. The attorneys for the state, however, never failed in cross examination to ask each witness whether Thaw had at any time dis cussed women with them or any of the circumstances that led to the mur- der of Stanford White. None would say that these topics were brought up whereupOn the states examiners would make the point that a paranoiac such as Thaw is alleged to be might con- verse ratioually except when lis one delutiOn was mentioned.

New York, June 24.-President Will son is considered by Col. D. M. House as the man most likely to restore peace to the world.

Petrograd seems to be in no wise discouraged over the enforced re- tfrement of the Russian troops from Jemberg. the capture of which by the Teutonic allies is being celebrated with great rejoicing in all the towns of Austria and Germany. Neverthe- less, the Russian army is still in full retreat, so far as advices from the Lemberg district indicate. although strong Russian rear guards are oppos- ing d further Austro- German advance with the utmost determination.
 Russians Fighting Desperately.
 Further south. however, along the Dniester River, another Russian army is fighting to prevent the Austrians and Germans from breaking through. The German general Linsingen, Berlin reports has succeeded in crossing the river, which is taken as an indication that capital that his advance cannot PetrogTad that at only one place in the entire length of the Dniester have the Austro-Germans managed to es- tabIish themselves with any perman- ency on the right bank.
 The latest Austrian communications say that the Russians are retreating on the Dniester between the Vistula and the San and that north of the Nistula the Russian rear guards were driven beyond the Kanienka River, the Austrians occupying Ostrowiec and Sandomierc, in Poland near the Galician border.

HEAD-oN COLLISION ON
 WESTERN MARYLAND.
Eight Persons Known to Have Been
 Killed and Fourteen Injured.

Gettysburg. Pa, June 24 Eight persons are known to have been kill ed and from twelve to fourteen were injured in a head-on- collision be- tween the Blue Mountain Special and a local train on the Western Mary Dixon line tonight. The trains which were going at high speed, met on a bridge spanning a deep ravine between Hlghfield and Thurmont and it is feared that some of the passengers were thrown from the bridge. The loca- tion of the wreck is isolated and darkness prevented rapid search. Tel egraph wires wee carried down and it was difficult to obtain information.
 \ mistake or misunderstanding of orders is believed to have been the cause. The trains had orders to stop but an error had occurred and the fast express was going almost sixty miles an hour when 1t struck the To- cal train on the bridge. The en- zines were telescoped, three members Of the engine crews and baggage master being killd. Three and pos sibly four passengers were killed.
 The identified dead are: Charles Cook, engineer of the accommoda- tion train; Charles R. Fritz, fireman; Luther Hull, baggage master: Mrs. ChipchaSe, of Baltimore, and her son.
 A baggage car apparently was the only one that left the bridge but one of the parlor cars was suspended over the side. One of the cars of the special train were of steel construction The injured were taken to Hagers- town and Thurmont, but the relief work was difficult.
 The private car President Gray con- taining a number of officials of the Western Maryland, was on the train, but none of the officials was killed.
 The bridge on which the accident occurred is 200 feet high and it was considered miraculous that both trains were not precipitated to the bottom of the ravine.
