Russ Believe Enemy Has
Lost More Than a Fourth
of Its Total Strength
sy Associated Prcss

Petrograd, May 81. via London,
12.45 p. M.-An official statement re-
ferring to the recent fighting in the
Carpathian mountains was issued here
to-day and reads:
'In the fighting of the past three
weeks. since the beginning of the op-
erations of the enemy I'm Carpathians,
their losses on May 10, II, IL and IS.
during which the fighting lost some of
its intensity, averaged 10000 n day.
On the other seventeen days they were
much heavier, especially during the
period between May Is and May 10
when they amounted to several tens
OF thousands daily.
Certain regiments of the enemy
have been reduced to a single COM
pany. Their total losses during this
period, including 10000 prisoners cap
tured by US, have undoubtedly reached
to one-fourth or perhaps one-third of
their total strength"

WALSH ATTACKED FOR
SEVERE QUESTIONING
Other Members of Committee
Want Him to Be More Con-

Washington, May 21.-Just before
John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., resumed his
testimony to-day before the Industrial
Relations Commission, the commits
sioners met in executive session to
consider the round robin sent last
night to Chairman Walsh calling for
more moderate treatment of witnesses.
Some OF the commissioners did not
conceal that they thought the chair
mans questioning OF Mr.. Rockefeller
yesterday should have been modified.
After. the executive meeting the 9TH
er commissioners did not make pub
lie their letter to Chairman Walsh,
which it was understood they would
do should their suggestion go unheed-
ed. Chairman Walsh said he did not
know what had happened in the exc
cutive session.
1.-THE examination of Mr.. Rookie
feller," said he, has and will be con-
Quoted with due consideration and the
truth will be arrived at"
Mr. Rockefeller began to-day by
reading a prepared statement which
related to Chairman Walsh's question
ing on his view of the regularity of
the convention of John r. Lawson a
mine workers leader. Mr.. Rookie
feller spoke of sinister reflections"
and said Chairman Walsh's questions
had been framed to make Il appear
had been wilful tampering with the
courts.
When Mr.. Rockefeller concluded
Chairman Walsh said:
eff there are any questions 7 ask
that you think should not be answered
you may state the fact, and the COM
mission will consider what should be
done. I suppose your high regard
for law extends to all offices charged
with administration of the law?"
"Yes, it does" said Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter.
You haven't contempt for officers
of the law who do not do your bid
ing?"
''I don't undertake to direct the Of
ficers of the law"
DO you undertake to coerce off,
GERS of the law?"
I'VE don't undertake to get officers
of the law in any position. That is
entirely improper"

COURT COSTS MAY BE DIVIDED

Syracuse, n. V, May 21.-The jury
in the Barnes Roosevelt suit came in
shortly before IL o'clock to-day and
the foreman announced that the jury
had agreed upon a verdict for the de-
fendant. When the roll was called
by the clerk of the court, eleven of
the jurors said they were in favor of a
verdict for the defendant but the
twelfth, Edward Burns, a Syracuse
motorman, arose in his seat and said:
Il am for the plaintiff"
Justice Andrews himself had been
informed before the jury entered the
room that a verdict had been found.
The spectators were warned that any
demonstration would be met with Sc
we're punishment Then the jury was
brought in and the foreman made his
announcement. After Burns had dis
sented Justice Andrews sent the jury
back to its room.
Justice Andrews was informed by
the foreman that the jury stood unani-
nous in favor of a verdict for the
defendant in case the costs were split
between the plaintiff and defendant.
The jury debated upon the question of
the costs when 1t returned to its room.
1t was said.
The j1ry was trying to decide the
question of costs and that alone. II

that some of the jurors were in favor

loser in a contest must pay the costs
of the action. Lawyers said there was
no way in which the costs could be
divided If a verdict was returned. In
the event it was said of Juror Burns
refusing to agree with his eleven COM
panions, the costs would be split.
Roosevelt Is Pleased
Colonel Roosevelt declined to com
ment for publication upon the action
bf the jury. BY the expression on his
gace, however. 1t was most apparent
that he was as pleased as he possibly
could be. His counsel said their client
was perfectly willing to divide the

could be done. They made IL plain

Bird Sounds Burglar
Alarm at WrightsvilIe

York. Pa, May 21.-A mischievous
flicker has taken a fancy to sounding
the burglar alarm over the First Ma
tional Bank in Wrightsville The first
few times the bird indulged its odd
whim the false alarm attracted a stir
in the neighborhood.
1t is suggested that an insect on the
surface of the bright gong may have
been pecked up by the strong -beaked
bird. and thus its knowledge of the
musical qualities of the bell was ac
quired.
The flicker being of the woodpecker
family, its rapid tattoo exactly initiates
the manner in which the gong would
be sounded by the electric Taper.
