Wilma Army Escapes

London, Sept. 22, 4:10 a. m.-The Russians have escaped the tolls of the Wilma salient and retired in good order, destroying all military works and a considerable portion of the railway, according to the Petrograd correspondent of the Post, who says: ''The strategic value to the Wilma salient has been enormous. It was held by some of Russia's best troops, and therefore risks were taken profit ably which might have been fatal under other circumstances. The stubborn holding of this salient nulli fled German designs upon Riga, and the German left flank is still up in the air"

| in this section to give way. The | charge which actually caused the ac- l Cident was a regulation dynamite l charge and the cave-in was not due l to any carelessness on the part of our | employes. Rather it was due to the ] crude, loose formation of the dirt which We unexpectedly came across. '' ! The dynamite blast which resulted ] in the cave-in was set off almost dt- rectly under Seventh avenue and Twenty fifth street, according to Chief Engineer Jones of the construction company. He told the fire commits sioner that the blast had hurled a large rock against portions of the un- derpining, knocking this away and al- lowing the pavement overhead and portions of the side walls to collapse
 Several Laborers Caught.
 There were between seventy and eighty laborers in the excavation at the time of the accident Although most of them had withdrawn some distance from where the blast was set off, others were reported to have been caught by the cave-in. Five of the dead were said by police to have been laborers
 That more persons were not killed or seriously injured was due to the fact that the major portion of the sidewalks on both sides of the avenue did not fall.
 After rescuers had worked four hours in the debris-filled excavation it was announced the number of in jured would total between 85 and 100.
 Three Girls Dying.
 The Rev. Father McMahon of St. Vincent de PauTs church said he ad- ministered the last rites to three young girls who were dying.
 Among the numerous injured re- moved to S.. Vincent's hospital was an unidentified woman, whose condi- ton was so serious surgeons said she could not recover.
 Dr. Wolf of the United States Realty company, which had charge of the excavation, told the police that there were 700 or 800 workmen in the excavation at the time of the cave-in.

Russian Army Safe

London, Sept. .22, 11:55 a. m.- Special despatches from Petrograd agree that the Russians have with drawn safetly from the Wilma alient the strategic value of which was con- sidered so great that the Russian staff felt justified in risking some of the best troops to defend it to the last possible moment. In their with drawal the Russians are said to have destroyed everything of military util- ity, as has been their practice since the gigantic retreat began.
 While the main army probably is safe, it is hardly. likely the whole Russian force will escape without heavy losses in men and guns. Field Marshal Won Hindenburgs cavalry, which was expected to complete the encircling movement, is still held up between Smorgon and Molodechno. On the Vilna-Lida- -Slonim flank the German advance is proceeding steadi- ly, but Prince Leopold's progress is slower, while Field Marshal Won Mackensen has come to pause be- yond the Pripet marshes.
 Germans Must Act Quickly.
 If the Russian retreat is to be stop ped successfully, the swiftest move ment must come from the south and the Germans must reap the full ad- vantage of their efforts within a week.
 As was predicted, the Zemstvo con- ference at Moscow, petitioned Emperor Nicholas to recall the Duma and sum- mon a cabinet responsive to the wishes of the people.

HELD FOR FRAUDS
Paris Agent of New York Firm Must Stand Trial in Correctional Court of French Government.

Paris, Sept. 22, 5:2O a. m.-Inves- tigation into the case of Hans Sea- pira, Paris representative of A. Musi : ca and Son, of New York, who was arrested shortly before the outbreak of the war, has been finished. Sea- pira was sent foE' trial to the Correc- tional court charged with defrauding bankers and others of sums alleged to amount to s260,O00.
 The firm of A.. Musica & Son was composed of Antonio Musica and h!s three sons, Philip, Arthur and George. All four of them were arrested at New Orleans in 1913 for fraudulent dealings in human hair, involving more than $500,O00. They were charged with swindling banks here and abroad by false invoices on inn portations and exportations of hair goods. Branch offices were. estab- lished in London and Paris
 Philip Musica, the leading figure in the United States Hair company, con- fessed that he had engineered the fraudulent transactions. He was aid- ed materially by the operations of the London and Paris agents who, he said, sent him bogus cablegrams to which were appended the names of prominent bankers. These messa ses helped him obtain money from banks iii this country on false invoices.
