EASTLAND NOW
NEARLY RIGHTED
BY UNITED PRESS.

CHICAGO. Aug. 1.-THE doom
ship Eastland, which three weeks
ago this morning toppled over in
the Chicago river with $500 chill
dren. women and men on board, had
been drawn nearly upright early to-
day by wrecking tugs. There was
growing belief among the wreckers
and officials that the estimate of
bodies, placed as high as 500. still
held in the charnel ship, would be
found TO have been grossly exagger-
ated. With only 10 on the coroner's
missing list and s4S bodies recov-
cred II was believed that the death
list might not go over 1000 at the
outside. The search In the hulk
was expected to be completed late

1.-THE second phase OF the cam
paign on the eastern front Is draw
ing rapidly to q close-the Russian
center giving ground with little ~
sistance In It's retreat to the KovnO-
Brest Litovsk line.
Attacking the Russian wings are
Won Hindenburg and Mackensen.
the two greatest generals Germany
has produced In the. world war.
Kovno Is being subjected to ter
rife assault under the eye OF Won
Hindenburg. and there Is not the
slightest doubt here that the for
tress must soon succunb. Mackenr
sen Is pressing slowly northward
upon Brcst Litovsk, dealing heavy
blows at the Russian left flank.
Military critics here believe the
operations against Russia will be.
entirely completed within a few
weeks. They do not expect to see
any march on Petrograd. despite
the fear Of drive on the Russian
capital felt In the allies capitals.
The general opinion here is that
Russia already has been dealt =
blow from which she can scarcely
recover before the allies are forced
into peace negotiations. The popu-
lar demand is that Germany shall
wheel her armies into q new cam
paign on another front.

that there is a lot OF gambling ~
Detroit. and great excitement pre-
walls around police headquarters.
Up to the time that the mayor told
the police commissioner that he was
satisfied there was a good deal OF
gambling going on. Commissioner
Gillespie was about the only person
In Detroit who wasn't "in on the Sc
cret," and now everybody. including
the commissioners, knows about 1t.
So. Friday night, Police Supt.
John b. Downey, Commissioner Gil
lespie and Mayor Marx held q long
session in Commissioner Gillespie's
private office--the superintendent
having been called In from his vaca.
tion to hear about the gambling, and
the commissioner also coming from
points afar to join In the conference.
And the upshot Of It all was that
the mayor told the commissioner
and the commissioner told the SUI
perfhtendent, and the latter told the
free lance" squad, commanded by
Detective Lieut.. William Black. that
there must be no more gambling OF
any kind, in Detroit, from now on.
and Detective Black and his merry
men we're delegated to tell that to
the gamblers, and-if they resisted
to arrest 'em.
The mayors order was issued
early In the afternoon.
II was most sweeping order. In
winding It up. and telephoning the
contents TO the absent commission
er and superintendent, the mayor
stated: II have this day istructed
Police Commissioner Gillespie and
Supt. Downey that drastic action
must be taken by the department.
to the end that every gambling
game In Detroit will be stopped. and
that every slot machine and gamb-
ling device of any sort will be con-
fiscated Immediately"
After the conference in Commits
sioner Gillespie's Office, Friday
night. the order trickled down to
the free lance" squad, and 1t was
10 minutes before midnight when
the squad started out 10 execute the
order-which means, to enforce the
law.
Most of the cigar stores, saloon
gaming rooms. and private clubs
where gaming has been carried on
freely. had closed up their gambling
games by that time, but the squad
went about their duties faithfully
They called at Frank Hibbler's
Harrington hotel. where open def
ance OF the law has been checked
only by occasional raids. Notice
was served that no more gambling
must be done.
In the Burns hotel similar notice
was served
The Walters club and a few other
places Of the sort we're also visited.
In none of the places was an arrest
made. Among the other stops made
were Joseph Corban's cigar store.
