Los Angeles, Feb. 2S.-An investiga-
tion was under way Saturday of the
death of Clarence Chandler, motion
picture actor, killed yesterday in the
staging of battle scene in the San
Fernando valley near here.

tacking party instructed to capture
soldiers barricaded in a cabin. Before

firing, a single shot was heard, and
Chandler fell in the midst of his COM
panions, shot in the forehead.
All threw down their weapons. No
one laid claim to the one revolver with
a discharged cartridge.
The pistol had been provided with
bullets to produce realistic scene in
shooting down the door of a caD!n.

London, March 1.-The Russian Of
fensive operations appear at the
present time to extend along the
whole front-an indication that they
have been able to bring very strong
reinforcements into the field. They
have successfully checked the Ger
man advance in North Poland, where
the Germans are reported to be in
retreat, and the recapture CT Przas-
nysz, after severe fighting, has given
them an excellent pivotal point from
which to carry On their further op-
erations.
All the Petrograd correspondents
refer to the capture of a large num-
Der of Germans as a new phase of
the var and credit it to lack Of
officers among the German armies
and the large number of young, un-
trained men who have been drafted
into them.
The Russian oHenslve extends to
what is now known as the Bzura-
Rawka front, where they successfully
opposed Field Marshal Won linden
burg's attempt to advance on War
saw in December and January.
There also has been heavy fight
ing in western Galicia and in the
Carpathians. but without bringing
any notable change in the situation
In eastern Galicia the Russians re-
port another repulse for the Aus
trians, who have again lost a num-
Der of prisoners.
With Russia. it would seem to be
a case of keeping up the supply of
ammunition, which the opening of the
Dardanelles would greatly assist.
The attempt to force the straits
by the allied fleet is indeed of mo-
mentous importance to the allies.
The opening of the straits would
release the Russian grain which the
allies want and would give to Russia
war material which she herself can
not produce, while it would be GER
tain TO have a marked effect on the
future of the Balkan states.

SHERIFF GARRETT INTERFERES
IN A LITTLE "PlAY" AT CAMP.

PIECES OF SUSPICIOUS PAPER.

Sheriff Garrett took a person, Civ
ing his name as c. S. Mcdonald, and
his residence as Rush Springs into
custody at the Campbell rooming
house last night on a charge of
forgery and obtaining money upon
alleged worthless checks.
1t seems that Mcdonald, who has
been staying at the Campbell house
for several days, presented a check
for eight dollars late Saturday night
in payment, and obtained a tri1ing
amount of money on it, telling the
proprietor to keep the check as Sc
curity until it could be cashed at
the bank this morning.
Last night he showed up with an
other check for ten dollars, drawn
on a First National bank check of
this city, and endeavored to nego-
tiate another loan on this piece of
paper. Sheriff Garrett was called,
and after examining the two checks,
told Mcdonald that if he was not
able to identify the man whom he
claimed to have given him the check
he would go to Jail.
After a brief search for the miss
ing man, the prisoner announced that
he was ready to go to Jail. where
he was Immediately taken by the
sheriff and locked up.
Mr.. Garrett stated this morning
that he had evidence to prove that
Mcdonald wrote both checks and
signed them himself However. Nc
Donald will be permitted to tell his
version of the affair in the prelimi-
nary hearing. as soon as his case
can be reached.

PASS.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Congress

day in debating the general defcien-
cy measure, with Interruptions now
and then to dispose of conference
reports.
The senate added about eight
million dollars to the naval bill as ii
passed the house, providing in the
two battleship construction program
for five seagoing submarines instead
of one, for 16 instead of II coast
defense submarines, for a gunboat
and a hospital ship, and adding one
million dollars for an armor plant
and 100000 for a projectile factory.
Senator Smoot vainly sought to
have authorized the construction OF

ines, declaring that mo man can
tell when the European disturbance
will involve this country in diff

This precipitated a general dis
