(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, June 19.-Russian forces
in Galicia are standing at bay today
along the Grodek line, where with
both fianks strongly protected by the
almost impenetrable marshes of the
Dneister river, they have entrenched
themselves, and will offer resistance
to further Austro-German movements
directed toward Lemberg, capital Of
the province, and which fortress has
been in Russian control since early
in the war.
The position selected by the Rus
SLAMS for this new stand against the
Teuton armies is naturally we'll for
tilted on two sides, and modern works
have been constructed behind which
the army is now sheltered. Big guns,
it is stated, have also been brought
up and it will require tremendous
army to dislodge the troops of the
Car.

Neither Army Active.

Neither army during the past "a
hours, has reported much activity, and
the foregoing statement is the out
standing feature of today's early news
from the near eastern zone of the war.
Petrograd dispatches declare that
between the rivers Dneister and Pruth,
south of Lemberg, and in the neigh
borhood, where a Russian army was
recently reported as partially sur
rounded by division of Gen. Mack
ensen's command, the Austrians have
been hurled back on their cwn terri
tory and that Bukowina is now open
for Slav invasion. These dispatches,
however, are hardly looked upon as
thoroughly reliable in view of recent
statements coming from the Russian
capital, and London newspapers are
publishing this feature of the days
news without comment.
French Drive Succeeding IN West
From the western theatre of the
war most encouraging news for the
allies comes today. Then French, who
have recently succeeded in ousting the
Germans from several minor positions
north of Arras, continue to hold their
advantage, and the latest dispatches
from Paris indicate the successes at
tanned by Gen. Joffres corps have
been even greater than claimed.
North of Arras, the French army
holds an important strategic position,
and positions on three sides of the

Peach Arrested;
Commits Suicide

J. S. Peach, a horse dealer, for
whose arrest a warrant was issued i'll
this city last Thursday, committed
suicide Saturday night at Truckee,
after having been arrested OF a
charge OF forgery.
Peach was well-known throughout
Nevada and California and up to last
July was buyer for the Denver House
and Mule company, Tor this part OF
the country. At the time mentioned
above it is said he was discharged by
the company, but last week he bought
twenty-five head OF lprses in Car
son valley, issuing a draft OF the
Denver firm for the money.
The deed that led to mis- arrest was
the issuing of a check, endorsed by
Arthur R~aycraft, which was later re-
turned stamped mo funds
Just how he expected to get away
with the deal aud escape arrest is a
mystery, but evidently he was pre-
pared for the worst, for when taken
to the Truckee Jail, at a moment when
the officers backs were turned, he
shot himself through the temple, dy-
ing instantly.

GRAND JURY PROBE
IN CREEK COUNTY
VIII Investigate Alleged
Election Frauds at
Drumwright.
snecial 10 THE World.

Special TO The World.
SAPULPA, Okla, Jan. u. - The
campaign against graft and crime IN
Sapulpa took a sensational turn to-
day when It was learned that q peti-
ton for a grand jury had been quietly
going the rounds and had received
The signatures Of hundreds of the best
citizens of the county, regardless OF
political affiliations. Far more than
enough signers had been secured this
afternoon and two Of the petitions had
not been brought back to the office
from which they had originated. The
fight over the county commissioner
ship now held by Charles Lovett was
primarily responsible for the action,
but both Democrats and Socialists
Joined In circulating the petition.
The most important information
concerning the officials of the county
was the request that the attorney gen
eral Of this state be asked to act as
special prosecutor because the pres
ent county attorney was assistant TO
Vic Decker during the last admins
tration and may be put on the grill
on his own account when the grand
jury Is I'm session.
one Of the particular phases of the
late election that will be looked into
will be the enormous registration and
voting in Drumright. At the time there
was much talk of the manner in which
that precinct was conducted.
The men who are back Of the peti.
ton believe that this is a good Op-
portunity to make an expose Of Green
county official action, because a new
Democratic district judge has just
been installed and the new Democratic
state administration would likely be
glad to take a hand in showing up
any official rottenness in a Republi-
can county

which met last Saturday at Okla
homa City. The date of the conven-

Inasmuch as the Tulsa Clearing
House association was only yesterday
Informed Of the decision Of the execu-

as yet been prepared for the reception
Of the one thousand or more bankers
and wives who will attend the meet
ing.
1t is likely that Convention hall
will be used for the sessions of the
convention. Details for entertaining
the visitors will be arranged through
the clearing house association.
This Is the second time the bankers
have met here, the previous event
having been three years ago, just sub
sequent TO the completion of Hotel

TIE COMING JEWISH NATION.
Freedom of Palestine May Result
From War.

We have seen England encouraged
to make the utmost sacrifices and
the whole empire brought to more
perfect unity for the sake of the idea
OF a free Europe. These are Won
derful things, but to men with a his
toriCal sense they are less wonderful
than the vision conjured up by the
thought Of an autonomous Palestine.
For the only nation which looks on
Palestine as its home is the Jewish
nation.
1t Is close on 1000 years since the
Romans destroyed the temple and
blotted out the last visible embodi-
ment OF Jewish independence yet
throughout the centuries the idea OF
a return to Palestine has never been
absent from the thought Of the Jew
ish race Within the last few days
it has suddenly appeared conceivable
that the great wheel Of time may now
come full circle, and that the Jews
may cease to weep when they remem-
ber Zion.
And at whose hands may they re-
ceive their country back again? At
the hands of Russia, France and
England-the representatives of the
three great branches -- orthodox,
Latin and Protestant - In which
Christianity has divided itself.
1t seems as though We were on the
threshold Of the greatest reconcilia-
ton that history has ever known. 1t
is no mere vision. Solid considerations
Of interest dictate the policy OF the
re-establlshment OF an Independent
Palestine. British and French needs
demand q neutral zone between Syria
and Egypt. Russia must settle the
Jewish question IL her plan FOR the
regeneration of Poland is 10 be car
ried out-London Outlook.

on April 2. 1914, John W. Miles
and Leo c, Brown two young men
Of Tulsa, were shot and killed I'm

The officers said they had killed

yesterday against the receivers of the
Frisco railroad and the two officers,
asking $50 coo for the estate Of John

ministratOr, through G. B. Rogers,
filed the suit for the widow and
2-year- old child Of Miles. A similar
suit is to be filed in the Brown case.
The petition alleges that Miles and

they were shot down by the two off

He Was Misquoted in

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 12.-What
promised to be a tilt between Demo.

representatives. today fnally deVel-
oped into a TRADE against the Daily
Oklahoman, as a result Of an errOn'
eous article published by that organ
In its Sunday issue and reflecung
upon the Socialist delegation in the
house.
Soon after the house convened this
forenoon, Representative W. X. Dunn
of Pottawatomie county rose to q
point Of personal privilege. He read
an article clipped from the Sunday
Oklahoman, in which it was stated
that at a banquet given by the So
Cianst legislators here Saturday night,
one of them, c.. II. Ingham, in a
speech declared that he was glad TO
get out of the legislative hall for a
brief spell and look once more upon
honest faces"
Denies Making Remark.
81 think that statement, II it was
made" declared Representative Dunn,
is a reflection upon this body, indlV-
idually and collectively, and l would
like to ask the gentleman named In
the article if he really made sucn "a
remark"
Representative Ingham quickly
arose.
'I not only deny having made such
n statement" he said, in loud tone,
"but | deny ever having thought Of
such a thing. l do not intend to re-
fleet upon any body with which ! am
working, and most certainly not upon
this legislature. | have no disrespect
for this audience at all and ] am sur
prised that anyone would take the
Oltlahoman as evidence that | said
anything of that nature
At his caustic reference to the
Democratic organ the house broke
into loud applause and the speaker
had to rap for order before the tumult
could be quelled.
Representative d. c. kirkpatrick,
another Socialist, also referred TO
the article in question as having made
q speech "agin" the government, asked
for permission to make a statement
In explanation Of his position.
Not in Europe.

ne said, that ! had come here with
bombs ready to throw them into the
Democratic crowd, but | assure you
such is not the case. In my speech
Saturday night l never even men

or by inference"
Representative Dunn thanked the
members for their explanation, and
assured them that the Socialists Of
the house would be treated with the
Eamel respect and courtesy that was
accorded the Republican members.
