 The Russians also assert that they lave thrown back the invaders near Svientsyany, where the German cav airy cut the Petrograd railroad be- tween Dvinsk and Wilma. The Ger mans battery still holds out at the bridgehead near Ovillsk, although the Russians apparently are holding their opponents in check in this region.
 Counting their captures in ;;alicia, the Russians lately have been taking more prisoners than they have been losing. In England hopes are rising that Earl Kitchener did not make an incautious prediction when he declared Germany had shot her bolt, but that his statement was based on facts. It Is said here that Won Hindenburg's drive is losing its vigor, while Won Mackensen is striving to overcome the difficulties of the marsh country and the Austrians appear to be unable to. regain the upper hand in Galicia.

HARVARD DEAN SUICIDES.
Body of Prof. Thayer Found Floating in Charles River.

Boston, Sept. 1e.-The body of Prof Ezra Ripley Thayer, dean of the liar ward Law school, was found floating in the Charles river today. He had been missing two days. Medical Ex- aminer McGrath said it was a case of suicide.

to force open the door to Halperns room. The key was on the inside of the door and the additional bolt on the inside of the dor was open. Ma rene insisted that the door had been bolted from the inside ana he had had to burst it open with his knee. Investigating the bolt and the door jam pr. Elcock found that the bolt plate had not been broken as would have been the case had the bolt been forced. After an experiment he concludes that the door. which open ed hard, had probably stuck and Ma- rene, in his excitement, had forced 1t, thinking it was bolted.
 Partial Identification Made.
 Early this afternoon the medical examiner and police made a more thorough search of the dead mans belongings. They found that both of his travelling bags were labelled wv. D L., Uniontown, Pa.," that he wore a gold signet ring with the same initials, wv. D. L. Papers in his bag indicated that he had been veteran of the Spanish American war and letters found were adressed to "W. D. Lewis, Uniontown, Pa., Cuddy's room." From a license such as Is obtained at fair 1t was found that the dead man had been in Pennsyl- vania no later than September 4. He had a quantity of good clothes and apparently came from a good family. A group photograph found in his bag contained what might have been a picture of himself when about twenty years old in company with his par ents and sister.
 Another significant thing found in the dead mans effects was a small water bag such as is used to apply to "n ear or to relieve neuralgiac pains in the head. One theory is advanced that the man may have been a victim of some such malady and suffered so intensely that he shot himself to end it all. '.f.l..@t
 ...u Dope Fiend, Say Police.
 The police are of the firm belief that the dead man was a dope fiend They say that they found complete set of instruments such are used by 'bing shoters," including hyperdermic needles, etc. They believe that 1t was possibly to get morphine that he wanted to locate a doctor last night and think that without his dope" he may have become so frenzied that he grabbed the revolver, which he ap- parently always carried with him in his travels, and ended his life.
 At late hour this afternon neither of the dead mans friends had been located, so positive Identification is not yet possible. Sergeant Bamforth went to the fair grounds this After- noon in an endeavor to locate one oT- both of the men.
 This afternoon Acting Chief of Police Thomas w. Grace sent a tele- gram to the chief of police at Union- town, Pa., informing him of the local suicide and asking for information.

lodging in the mattress. Dr, Elcock found the bullet on the bed clothes The revolver must have been wrapped in the burning comfortable as it was intensely hot when picked up. The dead mans right hand and
 pgers were also blackened and the
 esh had been burned away from the bones. He was smooth shaven and apparently about thirty-five years of age, and of slight build.
 Murder Theory Secuted.
 The conditions under which the dead man was found left slight possi- bility that he had met his death by -another's hand but this possibility is slight, according to the medical ex- aminer. It is admitted. however, that it would not have been impossible for the man to have been engaged in a quarrel with some other person and when revolver was pointed at him at close range he should throw up his right hand to protect himself. This Would account for the bullet passing through his knuckle. There was an- story af1oat, to which no credit was attached, to the effect that he had been shot by another person who had 2 tried to set fire to the room to hide e his crime.
 # > Suicide Is Believed.
 The suicide theory is believed un- uuesti onably by the medical examiner and officials as everything point to that Dr. Elcock is of the opinion that the suicide may have been fol- lower of fairs and had become des- pondent because luck was breaking against him and in fit of desponden- cy took his own life.
 The man left no note and nothing { about his effects would tend to give kYny clue as to why he should want { to take his life. ..ss
 The only mystery which Dr. Elcock Encountered in this case was the state meut made by MeSena that he had

OLD STORY OF WOMAN'S
FAITH AND MANS CRUELTY


Miami, Sept. 30-Gomplaint was
registered with Deputy United
States Marshal E. R. Lowe yester-
day by a widow who has three child
rem, that she was the victim of mis-
representation by one G. A. Black,
who, several weeks ago deserted his
two children and left them without
home or any other means, going to
Georgia.
The woman, whose name was re-
quested withheld for obvious reasons,
formerly resided at Grant Park, la.
In some manner correspondence
ensued between her and G. A. Black,
who at the time resided in Miami.
The woman claims that Black in
a letter to her, promised to marry
her on her arrival in Miami, but
stated that he would prefer that she
borrow money with which to pro-
cure transportation for herself and
children to Miami, as he might get
in bad with the federal authorities
for violation of the Mann white
slave act" if he sent her railroad
fare. ..
She thereupon paid her railroad
transportation with money she bor-
rowed from friends at Grant Park,
and arrived in Miami last Saturday.
1t did not take her long to ascertain
that Black had left Miami and the
manner in which he left. leaving
two small children without protec-
/ tiln, hall starved and in the streets
without a home.
II have taken the matter up with
United States District Attorney Her
bert l.. Phillips, at Tampa" Deputy
Marshal Lowe stated last night
and if we find that there is any
statute cCrcrina such cases. Blaeh
will be arrested and brought bach
to face a cnarge~of white slavery, d
whatever Jurisdiction the case
comes under. To my way of think
ing this fellow certainly ought tt
be placed behind prison bars and i
can do anything to that end / GER
tainly shall do So
The deputy marshal stated tina
! the woman arriving here Saturday
!, was practically destitute and woul
have to secure employment of som
sort Immediately, and for this reasO
, he requested that her name be kel
y out of the papers.
1t is believed that Black is sti
in Georgia, where he went follow

UNIQUE RECEIVER
SHIP IN TEXAS

Houston, Texas, Sept. 0.-Prob-
ably one of the most remarkable re-
ceiverships on record in the United
States has been established here by
Judge Burns of the Federal court.
He has appointed Judge Henry l..
Borden receiver of the bales of cot
ton washed from railroad platforms,
warehouses and other places during
the recent gulf hurricane and scat
tered along the coast for distance
of more than one hundred miles 1t
is stated that more than one million
bales of cotton are involved in the
receivership. Much of it came from
the shipping docks and warehouses
in Galveston. It was swept across
the bay by the wind and water
landing many miles inland in some
| instances. 1t will be the duty OF
Judge Borden to gather up the scat.
i tered bales, pass upon the question
of ownership and to settle any con.
I testing claims that may arise.

FLORIDA'S NAVY
AND NEW FISH LAW

Florida has made good start to-
ward securing navy.
The first armed craft to fly the
State flag will be known as the
Roamer, which has been purchased
to roam the west coast. The Roamer
was recently purchased in New York
and is now en- rodte to Apalachicola.
which is to be her home port. She
is equipped with guns fore and aft
and Is not to be played with when
it comes to enforcing the new law
regulating the salt water fish in
dustry.
Whether or not Shell Fish Com
missioner Hodges expects trouble is
not known. 1T is stated that there
may be some objection to the pay
ment of what is known as a tonnage
tax, applying to all boats 16 feet in
length or over engaged in the oyster
or fishing industry. He has received
an opinion from the attorney general
wherein it is held that the State is
within its rights to impose tax up
on tonnage wherever boats are doing
business with Florida ports. Just
how far-reaching this opinion is a
a question. Whether or not it
means that the great fishing smacks
plying out of Pensacola and other
points, and fishing in waters we'll out
of the limits of the State will be af-
fected is a question. Should this be
attempted it is expected that lively
fight will be precipitated.
1t is said that Commissioner
Hodges las received threats that il
will not be we'll for him to enforce
| certain provisions of the new salt
water fish law, but it is expected
| that nothing will come of them. The
guns on the Roamer are certainly
not intended to COW anyone into sub
mission, but as a matter of protec
| ton. They will probably never b'
used, but it might be said that Flor
| ida is now far ahead of most of tn,
States having seacoasts, in the mat
ter of building up their ''navies. -
