FEAR VIOLENCE IN
MOVING CAMP BELL

Joliet, ILL.,, June 25.--Fear that vio-
lence might be visited on Chicken
joe Campbell, the negro convict ac-
cused Of the murder of Mrs. Odette
Allen, wife of the warden of the prison
here, If he were removed to the county
jail to await grand jury action, is the
influence which Is keeping the accused
man in his solitary cell in the peniten-
tiary.
1t was decided last night that the
usual procedure of taking persons
awaiting trial to the Jail be followed,
but today it was considered best to
keep the man in prison where he will
be safe from possible mobs.
The long session held by the corn
er's jury last night was due, it is said,
not to any hesitation about holding
Campbell, but to considering whether
others we're involved In a plot against
Mrs. Aliens life. The jury was un-
able to reach decision on this point.

War Summary

Galacia and its borders continu-
ed to be the present main field Of
military activity. The Russians
are fighting hard in the Galician
territory, which remained to them
after the Teutonic drive to Lem
berg and beyond, either to save
that territory for themselves or to
give their retreating armies
chance to retire in good order.
Desperate battles, according to
the official reports, are continuing
along the Dniester, where the
Russians claim to have retained
the advantage, despite their ad
mission that Austro- German forces
have pushed their way across the
river in two places. In both cases
the crossing forces were pushed
back to the left bank of the
stream, the Russians assert. In
the Kosmierjine district the Rus
sian troops are on the offensive
and claim to have carried strong
iy fortified height by assault.
Accounts of conditions in Lem.
berg during the Russian occupa-
ton received in Berlin, tell of
hardships suffered by the families
of officials displaced by the change
from. Austrian to Russian auth
ority.
Activity along the front where
Austrian and Italian armies are
facing each other is still chiefly
in the nature of %tillery engage
ments, with occational inter-
ludes of infantry activity The
Italians claim, however, to be
gradually advancing along the
Isonzo and to have repulsed Aus
trian attacks at several points.
The latest French reports show
progress for that army only in the
ridges east of Metzeral in the
Vosges, and this only to slight
degree.

CHIEF SUFFERERS
PROMINENT PEOPLE
OFFICIALS WITH UNPAID SAL
ARIES FORCED TO BEG ON
STREETS AT LEMBERG.

Berlin, June 25.--A dispatch to the
Berlin Tageblatt from it's correspond
ent at Lemberg says:
Reviewing the nine months rule Of
the Russians in Lemberg, it is found
that among the chief sufferers in the
Galician capital were certain former
government officials, whose salaries
could no longer be paid. Prominent
families were reduced to begging in
the streets and compelled to satisfy
their hunger in the kitchens of other
people. Well known men of Lemberg
chopped and sold wood, while their
wives baked and peddled bread and
cakes around the city.
"The price of food reached exhorit-
ant figures. Butter cost IS cents a
pound The city of Lemberg issued
emergency two crown notes, which.
however, have had barter value Of
only one crown.
Regular Russian policemen and
Cossacks patrolled the city. The
schools were permitted to stay open
only with the express consent of the
military governor At least five hours
every week had to be devoted to the
study of Russian language. Only text
books approved for use in Russian
schools were permitted in Lemberg.
The Russian calendar was introduced.
Certain prominent men, favorable to
Russia, assisted the invaders, and one
of these, NJ. Gluszkiewicz, q well
known Ruthenian leader, was later
rewarded by being named mayor of
Przemysl.
"All men Of military age were taken
into custody by the Russian author
tiles, as were also all pensioned Aus
trian and Hungarian officers.
''The Russian municipal officials left
before Lemberg fell. Emperor Mich
olas visited Lemberg once while it was
under Russian control. Ruthenian
books were destroyed, and kilograms
and letters In the Russian language
were prohibited"

FORCES IN DUELS
At MEXICO CITY
Zapata's Men Engaging in
Artillery Matches With
Carranza's Army

| Washington, d. c., June 25.-Zapata
forces defending Mexico City have en-
gagged the attacking Carranza army in
series of artillery duels and delayed
its advance. No details were contain
ed in the advices reaching here today,
where were the first indications that
| the Carranza advance would be re-
| sisted
Communication with Mexico City
has been cut off since June 18 when
General Gonzales, the Carranza COM
mander, cut the wires to Vera Cruz at
Otumba, twenty-five miles east of the
| capital. Consular advices from Vera
Cruz today said the wires were still
down and it was improbable that COM
munication would be restored before
the Carranza forces entered the city.
Vera Cruz dispatches to the Carranza
agency here have insisted Gonzales
was delaying his occupation ito save
the city from the horrors Of attack"
and had been ordered to exhaust every
measure to induce the Villa-Zapata
troops to withdraw without resistance
To Delay Red Cross.
The Carranza war department urges
that the Red Cross relief expedition be
delayed until after the occupation of
the capital General Carranza has
promised full cooperation with it.
G. E. Bates, an American arrested at
Caborea, Sonora, charged with having
imported Carranza currency into Villa
territory, has been ordered brought to
Nogales, where Consul Simpich report
ed today, he expects to obtain his re-
lease.
The foreign embassies interested in
the Mexican situation have been given
to understand that the president will
determine on some action in line with
his recent statement on Mexican af-
fairs after he returns from Cornish, N.
H., the first week in July.
\ Some of the diplomats who have
been following the situation closely,
particularly the famine in connection
with statements that while the popu-
lation is starving food is being export
ed to buy munitions Of war, have re-
ceived official statements indicating
that during the first three months OF
1915, four hundred thousand dollars of
foodstuffs we're exported to Cuba from
the territory held by Carranza.
Send Ammunition In.
Douglas, Ariz., June 25.-A shipment
Of ammunition, clothing and shoes,
which was reported to have been held
UP at the Mexican border by United
States soldiers Monday because 1t had
not been declared at the customs
house, was allowed to cross the border
after manifest had been made, 1t be-
came known here today.
The clothing and ammunition were
not for Villa troops but were being
rushed to Carranza forces at Bavispe.

together, both running at high speed,
on the bridge which spans a mountain
ravine through which the creek, a
shallow stream, runs over rocky bed.
So great was the impact with which
the trains met that the two engines
were almost completely telescoped.
Locked together. their combined
weight held both to the track and per-
haps prevented greater catastrophe.
