GRAND JURY WILLING
THAT U. S. COURT TRY
ANY CLASS OF CASES

The suggestion made few months
ago in the report of federal grand
jury to the effect that certain classes
OF statutory cases should be tried in
the police court and not allowed to
drag through the United States court
here, evidently has not been forgotten
by the district attorneys office. T.
In examining the members of the
grand jury for the April term today,
Mr.. McCarn wanted to know if there
was anyone on the jury prejudiced
against the trial in the federal court
Of any certain class of cases, mention
ing statutory matters as an instance.
No answer was heard to his question.
The jurors were pronounced qualified.

GERMANS lose HEAVILY
IN fighting IN POLAND
By The United Press.

D1 AN NhAAfu AAA7es
PETROGRAD, Feb. 2.-Important
victories, both in Poland and in the
Carpathians, were claimed in the Of
fetal statement from the war Office
today. The Germans have lost 5000
in killed and many more wounded
and taken prisoners in attacks west
of Warsaw, it was stated. In three
days fighting in the Carpathians, the
Russians have taken 4,163 prisoners.
The battling along the Bzura, west
of Warsaw, has cost the Germans
heavy losses. it was stated. General
Won Mackensen hurled six regiments
against 'the Russian positions south
west of SOchaczew in repeated
charges for four days. His object was
to cut a path toward Warsaw that
would cause an abandonment of the
Russian campaigns toward Thorn
and Konigsberg.
Heavy artillery tore great gaps in
the Germans lines. While the infan-
try was engaged a force of German
sappers tunneled their way nearly 100
yards to the first line of Russian
trenches. BY chance a Russian Of
fcer discovered the mouth Of the tun-
nei as a little group of Germans came
pouring out. They were made pris-
oners. Two machine guns were rush
cd to the mouth Of the tunnel and a
company of Germans was slaughtered
underground.
BY weight Of numbers, the Ger
mans forced the Cars army at this
point to retire from their first line OF
| trenches and followed up this ad-
vantage by Smelling the Russians out
of their second line positions. Rein
! forcements were brought up ana the
Germans forced to evacuate the cap
tured positions, with the exception OF
100 yards of trenches on the Russian
right.
On the right bank Of the Vistula, the
Russian right continued its success
4 full advance toward the Prussian
frontier. Near Biezun, on tho Vkra
River, a Cossack charge drove back
a regiment of German infantry from
\ the army of General Francois. and
captured a position only ten miles
from the Prussian frontier
The Russian left, now 30 miles iron
the Prussian fortress of Thorn, bea
back German drive. along the line fron
\ Iipno to Dobrzyn. The Germans at
tackled desperately, attempting to out
flank the Russian left by inserting
wedge along the right bank of the Wis
tula.
In the Carpathians the Austro-Germa
forces have been unsuccessful in at
tempting to force their way northwar
to relieve Przcmysl. An Austrian arm
! that penetrated the mountains south
: Lutoviska. is being rolled back towar
, the Hungarian frontier.
The War Office today had no dii
patches bearing out report from rounc
b about sources that the Austrians ha
been overwhelmed near Tarnow,
