Russian Board with Power
to Spend Unlimited Money
for War Munitions
ALSO CONTROLS ALL
PRIVATE INDUSTRIES
Country Realizes That Disaster to
Grand Duke Nicholas Was Largely
Due to Lack of Munitions and
Equipment-Bulgaria Tcetering.

LONDON, June 80. = The Russian
reply to the brilliant series of the
Austro- G German victories in Galicia is a
law setting up board of munitions
empowered to spend unlimited money
and given virtually unrestricted pow
er over all private industries in the
whole country.
The celerity with which the law
was adopted, according to Petrograd,
was absolutely astounding, which is
taken to indicate that the country fully
realizes recent disasters to the forces
of Grand Duke Nicholas were largely
due to lack of munitions and equip
ment
With comparative quiet prevailing
on all fronts except that separating
Russian Poland and Galieia, the at
tention of the English public has been
turned toward diplomatic and domes-
tie problems. Several dispatches from
the Baltic declare Bulgaria is not
dissatisfied with the territory Offered
her by the allies, that Turkey has not
lost hope of conciliating her dangerous
neighbor is shown by news that the
Turkish-Bulgarian negotiations will
be resumed in Constantinople.
Rumors of break in the diplomatic
relations between Italy and Turkey
again are rife.

5000 Dead Found in the
Trenches on Front Taken
by the French
ARTILLERY FIRE
SWEEPS THEIR LINES
Arc Meeting with Difficulties in
Bringing UP Reinforcements and
Supplies, While Allies Have Every
Facility for Supplying Needs.

PARIS, June 30.,-A Havas Agency
despatch from Athens says the ex-
haustion Of the Turks facing the
French forces on the Gallipoli penin-
sula is evident and leads to the belief
that the Turkish positions at Krithia
aeon will be taken by assault In q
recent advance made by the French it
is said 5000 Turks were found dead in
The trenches on the fronts taken.
Recent fighting in the Dardanelles
has resulted in appreciablc advance by
thc allies, the despatch declares, the
Frcnch troops particularly distinguish
ing themselves.
Facing the French, the correspondent
continues, the Turkish front does not
exceed three and one fourth miles,
which artillery fire swept continually.
The Turks are meeting with growing
difficulties in bringing up reinforce
mcnts and supplies, while the allies
have every facility for supplying their
needs.

PLANNING FOR NEXT
REUNION OF ALUMNI
Meeting in High School Room Last
Night-Facts Concerning Regis
ter and 1890 Trophy Cup.

The executive committee of the Alumni
association of the high school held
meeting last evening in the high school
room with representatives of the class of
1890 The treasurer of the association
gave a report showing balance on the
right side, and the editor of the Alumni
Register, Will Il. Smith, gave report.
PLANS for the 1916 reunion were discussed.
While no definite action was taken, it
seemed to be the sentiment of the commit
tee that the basis of award for the reunion
trophy cup offered by the class of 1890 at
the last reunion would have to be the lists
of graduates submitted to the editor Of the
Alumni Register
Requests for class records have been sent
to all classes, beginning with the class of
1871. Twenty-four out of the 43 classes
.have sent in their lists The 21 classes

1906 inclusive, 1908, 1910, 1914 and 1915.
The secretary of the association has not
the names of the secretaries of the classes
Of 1879 and 1876. Any member of those
classes would confer favor if he or she
would send in a list of the members to the
secretary, Harry c. Freeman or the editor
of the Register If all those who are in

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

The Germans and Austrians are
pressing the Russians hard in their re-
treat through northeastern Galicia and
southeastern Russian Poland toward
the river Bug.
The energy of the pursuit, however,
is costing the Tcutonic force dear, ac
cording to Petrograd statements, which
mention enormous losses inflicted upon
the enemy during the Russian with
drawal from the Dniester region.
Meanwhile Russia is endeavoring to
accomplish the better organization of
a munition supply system. Having
been given unlimited money and vir-
tually unrestricted power the new
board of military supplies is expected
to remedy the shortage in munitions to
which the Russian reverses in Galicia
have been largely attributed.
Reports from the Tyrol and Trent
districts mentions notable activity of
the Austrian artillery confronting the
Italian invasion. Italy S forces are
making slow headway on the Isonzo.
Unfavorable atmospheric conditions
being mentioned as interfering with
the operations there.
German submarines have claimed
two more Norwegian steamers.
Mytilene dispatches record an ex-
ploit of a British gunboat in lombard
ing three Turkish forts, destroying
dcpots and several small vessels.
No loss in the driving power of the
Teutonic armies before which the
Russians are retreating eastward is in
dicated by the latest official reports
from the front. All along the line
from eastern Galieia northward vel
into Russian Poland Grand Duke
Nicholas 5 forces are being pushed
| back.
The French are hammering away al
the German positions in the Arras re
gion and making some progress, mean
while frustrating German attempts tc
gain new ground in the Vosges, the
| possession Of which has alternated re
Gently.
The Germans report repulses of at
tempts by the French to regain tht
| territory lost in the Meuse hills. Pre-
dictions from French sources are tha-
important success for the allies in tn,
| Dardanelles are on the eve of achieve
ment, the claim being made that thc
Turkish troops on the Gallipoi PENN
sula are so exhausted that they vii
be unable to hold much longer thei
position at Kirthia. After recent at
tacks by the allies, resulting in al
appreeiable advance, it is declare,
that 5000 dead Turkish soldiers wer
found in the trenches of the from
taken by the French.

Attorneys for State to As
sault Evidence Given to
Prove His Sanity
EVELYN NESBIT THAW
SUMMONED AS WITNESS
Probably VIII Testify Next Week in
the Jury Proceedings in New York
to Determine the Mental Condition
of Her Husband.

NEW YORK. June 80. - Attorneys
Tor the state were ready to begin their
assault today upon the evidence submit
ted by Harry K. Thaw to prove that
he is sane and entitled TO his freedom.
When the hearing was continued the
state took up the crOss-examination of
the last of the Thaw witnesses. II was
expected the witnesses would be dis
posed of in time to permit the prosecu-
ton to open its case today with the in
PRODUCTION of documentary evidence.
Dr. &. X. Mills of the University of
Pennsylvania, an alienist witness for
the defense, who was on the stand when
court adjourned yesterday, was sub
Jected today to a rigid technical cross
examination on the manifestation of
lparanola. The witness refused to
modify his opinion that various acts in
Thaw's life which, the state alleges.
were symptomatic of paranoia, were
those of a sane man.
Thaw, DR.. Mills said, had told him
he had objected to the alleged
scheme on the part of certain lawyers
and alienists prior to his first trial for
murder to send him to Matteawan in
order to avoid publicity and protect the
reputation of Stanford White and 9th
ers.
Thaw wanted all the facts brought
out he said, "but that is not evil
dence that he had a paranoiac illusion
| in the matter.
DR.. Charles K. Mills of Philadelphia.
a witness in the jury trial TO test the
sanity of Harry K. Thaw, testified to-
day that Thaw believed his wife,
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, wanted him
kept in Matteawan asylum so that as
an insane person he would be unable
to make a will cutting her off from
his fortune. The question put by one
of Thaw's attorneys was said TO have
been prompted by a published item
lquoting Mrs. Thaw as being fearful
for the safety of her son if her hus-
band should be released.
Mrs. Thaw, who has been served with
a subpoena, is expected to reach here
tomorrow and to testify as a witness
for the state some time next week
l''Thaw told me, - DR.. Mills said,
that his wife had a motive in want
ling to keep him in Matteawan. He
didn't think she had anything against
him personally or was aPprehensive of
his son, but he thought she believed
as long as he was in Matteawan he
lcouldn t make a will cutting her off.
DR.. Mills was still under examination
lwhen a recess was taken. The state
Iexpected to open its case as soon as
this was concluded with the introduc-
: tion of documentary evidence which
may occupy two days.

POINTS IN DRY LAW
MAY COME TO COURT
People are Prepared to Obey the
Prohibition Act but Legal
Questions are still at Issue

Seattle-While Washington is pre-
pared to accept the prohibition law
which is effective January first, and
obey it in spirit and letter, several
legal points covering its operations
will have to be settled in court before
the law works smoothly in all its
phases. The advertising clause is
one of these questions.
The statute makes it illegal to ad-
vertise liquor in this state, or to adj
vertise places outside the state where
liquor may be got by mail order. This
clause is of doubtful legality, as it is
uncertain whether publications print
ed outside this state can be barred
from this state if they contain liquor
advertising. Such a rule would be
most extreme, as hundreds of stand
ard publications carry liquor advertis-
ing. If these cannot be barred, the
publishers of this state may claim
that it is discriminatory to prohibit
them also from printing liquor ad-
vertising. This clause is most in
volved one, and will probably have to
be settled by test case.
There is also a question at law
whether the clause limiting the
amount of liquor which citizen can
import from outside the state is in ac-
cord with the constitution of the
United States. In California a re-
cent decision holds that state cam
not abridge interstate commerce.
The brewers of the state expect to
carry into the federal court that fea-
ture of the law which prohibits the
manufacture of liquor in this state,
but there is apparently no intention
by retailers to make any further fight
for life. The initiative bill providing
for the sale of liquor to hotel guests
will be voted on in November, and will
form the object of new campaign
by itself.
