GERMANS ARE AT
GATES OF WARSAW
The Fall of the Third City of Russia is Hourly Ex-
pected-Hope in the Allied Countries Is Not for
Warsaw, But for the Continued Cohesion of the
Russian Army

LONDON, July 3O-Warsaw, the third
,ty of Russia and the goal for which the
German armies in the east have been
striving since October, is at last in the
throes Of abandonment
Germans in overwhelming numbers are
at the gates Of the Polish capital and des
patches both from the city itself and from
Pctrograd say that further resistance
would be uuwise.
The fall Of the city is expected hourly
md the problem now is to move the Rus
sian armies intact, threatened as they
arc from the south by the Austro-Germans
and more seriously from the north. This
lttcr menace, the British press admits, is
imminent. and the hope IN the allied
countries now is not for the safety of
Warsaw, but for the continued cohesion
of the Russian army.
The Warsaw postolliec already has been
shifted to some point to the eastward.
The populace has been warned to re-
main calm and presumably for days Rus
sian troops have been stripping the city
of anything of military value
German aviators are lowering over the
city, and according to German adviccs,
plans. have been completed for the trium-
phal entrance OF Emperor William accom-
panied by his consort.
With Warsaw captured, whether or not
it proves conquest of lasting strategic
advantage, a great wave of enthusiasm
will sweep over Germany and Austro-
Hungary and it is predicted that the ar
mics of the central powers will then seek
TO force period Of trench warfare III the
east, meanwhile calling great weight OF
men and guns to the west with the idea
of rcsumng the battering toward Calai.
and perhaps Paris.
In the west there has been little in re
cent days to break the monotony of min
ing and bomb throwing from the NORTH
Sea to the Swiss frontier
The British public is so little impressed
with events in the east that David LloyC
George, the minister Of munitions, il
speech yesterday apparently thought i
necessary to drive home the gravity o
the situation in the minds Of those in
clined to over optimism, reminding then
that revcrses in Russia would mean in
creased pressure on the western allies, ant
summing up his opinion with admonitior
that the situation was serious if not peril

GOOD PROGRESS ON
FEDERAL BUILDING
Brick Walls Built on Three Sides of
Basement = Course of Limestone
Trimmings Laid Next.

Rapid progress has been made the
past week on the brick work on the
basement walls at the federal building
site. The walls on three sides are
nearly up to grade. Among the brick
layers are some from New York. A
course of red limestone, which will be
used for trimmings throughout the
building, will be laid next. Contractor
Abbott is uncertain as to whether the
steel necessary for the flooring will be
received in time to prevent a delay.
The small building erected by the
contractors for their own use near the
sidewalk at the southeast corner of
the lot has been moved westward and
the contractors are erecting larger
building on the site for the use of
the government inspector, Charles r.
Marsh.

WILSON SPARES INDIAN.
Death Sentence Of Man VINO Killed
Wife COMMITTED.

WASHINGTON, July 80. Presi-
dent Wilson has commuted to life i'm
prisonment the death sentence inn
posed at Milwaukee, Wis, on James
Waupoose, an Indian who pleaded gull
ty of murder of an Indian woman. The
fact that if Waupoose had stood trial
a jury might have recommended a
lighter penalty, influenced the Presi
dent s action The Indian, convicted
in the federal courts, was liable to the
death penalty under the laws of the
United States, but as there is much sen
timent against the death penalty in
Wisconsin, where that form of punish.
ment was abolished many years ago,
the President took his action of yester-
day.

BECKER CASE MAY
CHANGE STATE LAW
Amendment to Take the Pardoning
Power from Governor Before Con-
vention aG Albany.

ALBANY, July 30.-An amendment
to change the situation which has come
about in the Becker case, wherein a
district attorney who convicted muir
derer is called upon as governor to pass
on the same man S appeal for clemency,
was reported favorably to the constitu-
tional convention
1t creates state board of pardons of
three members, of which the governor
is not to be one, to take over the
pardoning power now vested exclusive
ly in the governor.
The amendment was reported by
Judge Clearwater, chairman of the
committee on prisons and the preven-
tion and punishment of crime. and the
amendment was introduced by Louis
Marshall of New York city.
1t provides that 'tthe legislature
shall create a state board of pardons to
consist of three members, which shall
have the power to grant reprieves,
combinations and pardons after eonvic-
tion for all offences except treason and
in case of impeachment, upon such con-
ditions and with such restrictions and
limitations as the board may think
proper
They shall be appointed by the gov
ernor by and with the consent of the
senate.
Judge Clearwater stated that he had
communicated with Gov. Whitman and
with every ex-governor of the state
now living, a majority of whom most
decidedly favored the creation of such
board.

NO BODY FOUND
IN BRANDON POOL
Dynamite Is Exploded, But Nothing Is
Brought to Surface - Young Viii
marth Still Missing.

BRANDON, July 3O-After exploding
dynamite in the pit of the Vermont Mar
bic company's quarry on High street the
selectmen have decided that there is not
suicides body beneath the pool which
they were led to think might be the case
by finding clothing, shoes and hat near
by.
Thinking that John L. Wimarth, the
missing Addison youth, who is wanted in
connection with shooting his sweetheart,
Miss Stella Cross, in that town Sunday
evening might have taken his life by
drowning in the quarry pit, Sheriff Olin
Smith of Addison, Deputy Sheriff George
Farr of Bristol and Wilmarth's father,
Fred L. WiImarth, were present while the
search with explosives was conducted.
Mr.. Wilmarth, after examining the
clothing found near the quarry pit and
the hat found floating in the pool said
that the apparel did not belong to his son.
The Addison county officers said that
Miss Cross continues to steadily improve
and, although the wounds in her head are
serious, physicians are satisfied she will
recover She is still in an extremely weak
condition
Those acquainted with the young woman
insist that there is considerable mystery
about the affair (which has not been e,,-
planned. The young woman, so far as
known, has not made any statement as to
what preceded the alleged attempt upon
her life by her p years old lover.
1t is known that though Wilmarth was
madly in love with his attractive neighbor
the young woman had decided, for some
reason, that she did not care to recipro-
cate his attentions.
If the young woman's condition contin-
ues to improve it is not unlikely that she
will be urged by the authorities to make
| statement explaining the circumstances
which led to the shooting
| 1t is said in Addison that Wilmarth had
| ample opportunity the night of the shoot
| ing to make his escape across Lake Cham
| plain and that he is sufficiently acquaint-
| ed in towns bordering the lake shore to
make his way to place of safety in the
| Adirondacks However, word was sent
across the lake last Monday that lookout
be kept for the young Vermont farmer
and thus far no word has been received
which would indicate that Wilmarth made
his way into New York state.

Il Was q Street Incident That Led Up
to the Glover Feat.
Feats with an umbreila-of the Jap.
anese kind-are very common. The
tuggler throws up ball, catches it on
the top Of an open umbrella and, by
twisting the handle rapidly. causes the
bali to run round the edge of the um-
with curtain rings and with coins. The
smaller and lighter the coin the more
difficult the feat.
All these feats were originated BY
q street performer in Japan. One day
while passing under the walls Of
castle a small audience collected on
tho top of the wall and playfuly drop
ped some tangerines on to the comedian
Of the company Of struggling tugglers.
(No such company Is complete without

dian was treated in the same manner,
and 30 he put up a paper umbrella to
shield himself. The shower Of tan
gerines broke through the umbrella.
Then the leading juggIer of the COM
pany saw his opportunity. He took
the umbrella. twisted 1t quickly and
by making it revolve caused the tan
geries to hy OF. While he was doing
this he was helped by lucky accident
One of tho tangerines rolled round the
umbrella once before dropping on the
ground. The juggler picked up the tan

was invented.
