Won Mackensen Compelled to Re-
arrange Lines South of Warsaw.
Petrograd, July 26.-The Austro-
German forces are suffering heavy
losses on all three lines of their drive
against Warsaw.
In the south Won Mackensen has
again been compelled to change his
front He is now directing his main
move against position near Ire
vaika, three miles west of Cholm.
Every step costs him dear. He found
1t necessary to exercise extreme eau
ton and is literally feeling his way
in the hope of finding a weak spot
where he may be able to catch the
Russians unprepared.
In the north of the Narew, severe
casualties have been inflicted on the
Germans.
In central Poland the Russian line
from Blonie, about 10 to 20 miles in
front of Warsaw to Ivangorod, is very
strong.

SHIPS CAPTAIN IS
BLAMED FOR WRECK
Harbor Chief Says He Warned
Petersen of Danger.
STARTLING TESTIMONY GIVEN
Refused to Open Bridge for Vessel
Until It Was "Trimmed"-As-
serts Disaster Was Due to
Too Rapid Filling of Tank.

Chicago, July 29.-Blame for the
Eastland disaster was put square up
to Capt Harry Peterson by Harbor
Master Adam F. Weckler, a marine
expert, who gave startling testimony
before the coroner's inquest.
Weckler testified he noticed the
dangerous list of the vessel and
warned Captain Peterson that the
Eastland could not pass the Clark
street bridge to go out into the lake
until he had righted the vessel.
week.-Mrs. theory is that hasty at
tempt to take on water ballast sent
the Eastland to it's tragic plunge.
w. K Greenebaum, general man
ager of the Indiana Transportation
company, charterer of the boat, who
preceded Weckler on the stand, re-
layed responsibility for the lives to
hOodwink inspection by government
officials and to the fault of the East
lands officers in Encouragement of
the water ballast.
q arrived at 7:10 a. H." said
Weckler, and the first thing 1 no.
ticed was the Eastland's list
I won't give you the bridge until
you trim that ship l warned the cap
tain. The captain called back that he
was trimming her as fast as he could.
"The tug was in place to tow the
boat away from the dock, but l or
dered it not to start until the boat
was steadier."
What, in your judgment, caused
this catastrophe?" asked Coroner
Peter Hoffman.
Taking on water ballast too fast
on the post side," responded Weckler.
why, l believe the tanks were abso-
lutely dry when l warned them"
Who is to blame?"
THE captain said Weckler.
WAS the Eastland overloaded"
1T certainly was. That boat ought
never to have been allowed to carry
more than 1900 passengers"
Had the boat good or bad -repu-
tation?"
Its reputation among all marine
men was decidedly bad"
James R. Linn, assistant harbor
master, testified that in his opinion
Captain Peterson was guilty of negli-
gence for not ordering his crew to get
passengers off after he had failed to
fill the water ballast tanks in II mill
utes. The fact that there were bub-
bles on the surface of the water
showed the Eastland was stuck in
the mud, he said. The mud undoubt-
eddy prevented the water from being
pumped into the ballast tanks, he
said.
Federal Judge Lands issued bench
warrants for Capt Harry Petersen
and First Mate Delbert Fisher of the
Eastland; Martin Slaton, traffic man
ager of the st. Joseph-C Chicago Trans
portation company, and Chief Engi-
need Erickson of the Eastland. They
will be brought Thursday before the
federal grand jury investigating the
ship disaster

NEVADA'S EXHIBIT AT
 THE HAMPSTEAD FAIR

That a little trouble and smaller expense will get results was clearly demonstrated last week at the Hemp stead Union Fair when an exhibit sent from this, Nevada County, won the highest prizes.
 Our county came first over seven others. Among them there were the banner agricultural counties of Ark ansas-those that had always been ribbon winners at the state fair and other big exhibitions over Arkansas. The sweepstakes-three of them were awarded to Nevada, Hampstead and Faulkner, followed Nevada.
 Too much credit cannot be given to Sam R. Young, who devoted great deal of time and considerable money to arranging this exhibit. MT. Young known how to arrange and exhibit. He also knows what it takes to make an attractive one and he went after the products of Nevada county. Our booth, assembled by MT. Young was the most attractive, secured 42 rib bons and created more comment from visitors than all the others there.
 That it will be of great value to the county is a certainty and too much praise cannot be given to those who were instrumental in getting it to- gether. We will give al ist of the prize winners next week, if possible to get them.
