SUIT OVER OLD RACE TRACK
Three Philadelphians Contest David
Baird's Claim for Gloucester
Speedway.

Suit to clear the title to the old Glcu-
cester City race track, famous In days
gone by as a mecca for the sporting fra
ternity OF the East, was brought today
In Chancery Court in Comden by David
Baird, Republican leader OF South Jersey.
Three Philadelphians contest his claim.
Baird, In his declaration, claims title
through a deed made out by Henry j.
West trustee Of the bankrupt estate Of
the late William j. Thompson of Glou-
cester city, Democratic leader. The deed.
which was executed October l5 1913. Is
antedated by a deed of purchase convey
ing the property to the late j. r. Brick.
September 25, 1851. Three of his descend
ants, Conrad Brick. 2033 Vine street; Mrs.
Matilda Everhardt. 1907 Race street, and
Mrs. Fannie Cassidy, 1850 North 18th
street. claim seven and three-quarters
acres OF the property. They declare
Thompson obtained possession of the
tract through foreclosure proceedings on
mortgage which was not acted on for
SO years, thus making the subsequent
transfer void. Vice Chancellor Backes
of Trenton. will decide the case.
The tract, which is situated on Little
Timber Creek, south of Gloucester City.
has problematical value. One man con-
versant with realty values placed II at
$4,000. but other widely diverging esti-
mates have been made. The mile track
was abandoned about 10 years ago. when
racing was legislated out of New Jersey.
1t Is surrounded by many deserted struc-
lures, including a number of hotels.

ARRESTS SPOILED PLAN
FOR THTEVTNG TRUST"
Three Young Men, Held for
Theft of Tools, Confess They
Meant to Form Combine.

Three young men confessed today that
their arrest for robbing the Hebrew Or
pbsns Home, 18th street and Queen lane,
was the only thing that stopped them
from starting company" the chief pur-
pose of which was to rob. They had OBJ
tained important assets at the home, a
suitcase full of tools, with which to break
into houses in Germantown.
Victor Neff, ~ years old, used to work
as a laundryman at the home He knew
where he could find the tools used by j.
Burt Naegele. who does repair work in
the boiler room there. Neff engineered
the expedition, being assisted by william
Householder and Nicholas Yaeger. They
all lived at 4456 Germantown avenue. Act
ing Detective Bramwell made the arrests
and Neff was held in $1,000 bail for court
by Magistrate Pennock today at the
Rranchtown station, and the others in
5000 for a further hearing next Wednes-
day.
A letter found on Householder from his
mother in Harrisburg warned him that
he was wanted for robbing the house at
$50 Broad street, that city, and also de-
manded the return of her suitcase which
he had taken. The young man had spent
% months in the Huntingdon Reforma-
tory.
The contribution box I'm the Hebrew
Orphans Home was broken open and
robbed Saturday night, when the tools
were stolen there. The prisoner denied

DOMINION DOCKS HERE
AFTER EXCITING TRIP
Vessel, Twice Reported Sunk,
Sighted Three Submarines.
ia Passengers Landed.

Excitement and thrills were thrown in
with the price of passage on the Ameri-
can Line steamship Dominion. which
docked today at the Washington avenue
pier. The Dominion sailed from Liver
pool May 81. She was twice reported
sunk, and three submarines gave the
messengers discomfort the second day
out. Lights were covered and warnings
against loud talking were issued by Cap
tain Ingham while the ship was making
her way through the German war zone.
Late at night on the second day out a
stewardess in the second cabin jumped
overheard and was lost
The stswardess was Mrs. Mary Pritch-
ard Of Liverpool She has sailed with the
Dominion for nearly two years. No ono
mt the watch was on deck when she
climbed the afterrall of the main deck and
leaned overheard AS she jumped, she
shrieked loudly and the watch was called
out boat was lowered and illuminated
life buoys were thrown over the side. the
woman had disappeared II was reported
that her body had been picked up by a
trawler,
James Henderson. of Liverpool, and sew
eral other passengers saw three subma-
rines near the Dominion on the morning
OF the second day out. one came as near
as 100 yards and then dived. Ships Of
hcers discredit the story that they were
German, as they argue that the Domin-
ion, which sails under the British flag,
would have been attacked.
ThiFty-eight second cabin and 76 steer
age passengers were on board the
Dominion. Nearly all were English and
most OF these bought railroad tickets to-
day for Texas and the Canadian north
west, where they will settle on farms.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward SpittlehOuse, of
London, brought over hve small yellow
haired girls. their children. whom they
viii take 10 a farm in Texas. 1t was
raining hard when the Dominion docked
this morning, and the weather dampened

AUSTRO- GERMANS LAUNCH NEW
OFFENSIVE ON RAWKA- -BZURA FRONT

RiUer8-StrW Wrested From Russians Who Lose
Three Forts Defending Preemgs on North

Petrograd officially admits violent
offensive launched on the Bzura,
Rawka and Pilica Rivers, where the
foe is using poisonous gases Close
contact of the foe. at Przemysl within
200 PAGES, and at stryJ, is admitted, but
according to the War Office the Teu-
tons have been beaten back at Forts
No. and No II.
Apparently the Austro- German left
wing Is attempting supplementary
movement in the old war zone of the
South Poland River. This supports the
main Germanic campaign in Galicia,
and holds large forces back from re-
enforcement Of Przemysl.
Austro- Germans, according to the
latest Vienna and Berlin reports, have
triumphed at two of their detectives in
the Galicia sweep eastward. Three Of
the fortts girdling Przemysl as north
ern defenses have been captured Stryj,
important centre of the Stryj Valley
and dominating routes to the Carpath-
ians, has been wrested from the Slavs.
Unofficial reports state the Russians
have been forced out of Radon, 81
miles south of Warsaw.
The French have driven the Ger
mans from the town of Ablain. BY a
bayonet charge, the French took the
cemetery outside the town and then
Ablain itself. Four hundred Germans
surrendered and ran to the French
lines, pursued by hail of bullets from
German ra mid fire guns
Southeast of Ntuville the French
have taken several German positions

ITALIAN OFFICERS
HERE CALLED HOME
Residents in Downtown Colony
Receive Letters Demanding
Their Services.

Italians in this city who are officers Of
reservists have received letters from
Rome notifying them that they must re-
turn TO their native country to take their
places in the forces at the front.
Among those who have received these
letters are Doctor Kramer, druggist at
1ith and Tasker streets. who, in spite Of
his German name, is an Italian; Lieu
tenant Costantine, one Of the editors Of
LOpinione, and Dr. V. De virgiiis, a
dentist.
The letters came as somewhat OF sur
prise as it had not been expected that a
call for reservists In America would be
sent out for several weeks II is believed
to indicate that Italy is preparing TO
throw into the field her fun strength.
particularly in view of the fact that some
OF the men who have been summoned are
in their thirties, and therefore in classes
that would not be called into action at
the beginning of the war.
