JUDGE SCORES SHEA, A COP, FOR
HIS ROTTEN TACTICS
) Mrs. Anna Stahl, suspected of be-
ing a prostitute, was wanted by the
police.
ToNget her they watched her house,
212S w. Madison ST., for a solid
month.
One of the officers assigned to duty
in front of Mrs. Stahl's home was
Frank Shea. Shea was determined
to make the arrest, it seems. He
stood outside the door. If Mrs. Stahl
would have ventured out she proba-
bly, would have been nabbed at once.
Finally Mrs. Stahl had eaten all
the food in the house and became
hungry. Afraid to venture out, she
phoned a restaurant to send in her
lunch. When the food arrived Shea
demanded that he be let in with the
waiter. He would not permit the food
to be sent into the house, Mrs. Stahl
said.
The waiter went back to the res
taurant, but in response to the ap-
peal of hungry Mrs. Stahl made
second attempt. This time Mrs.
.Stahl driven to taking chances by the
gnawing pangs of hunger, slipped the
latch of the door to let the waiter in.
Shea forced the door, dragged her
out and arrested her.
Today she was hailed before Judge
Mahoney on a disorderiy conduct
charge. The Judge released her after
severely scoring the police for the
employment of such tactics. The po-
live have no right to crag a person
from their home in the manner in
which Mrs. Stahl was handled, said
Judge Maloney.

Russian Army Forced to Abandon

Army Defeats Italians.
.(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, June 24.-Oficial dis
patches from Berlin this morning
state that the fall of Lemberg was
followed by a general retreat on the
part of the entire Russian force. In
the district around Lemberg, the
Austro- Germans are said to be driving
the Russians before them.
The Russians are also retreating
fcom the territory to the northwest
of Przemysl and as far north as
FAie;ce.
Dispatches from Russian Poland
say the Russians strongly resisted the
Austro- Germans at Lemberg, but that
shortage of ammunition made it i'm
possible to hold that city longer. The
Russian army is not crippled for lack
of men, but is sorely In need of am
munition and other supplies. In their
retreat from the city the Austro-Ger-
mans cut their line to pieces and many
y, ere killed.
Car Nicholas has rushed to the
front in an effort to save the day. He
will assume personal command of the
army that has evacuated Poland
Dispatches from Rome and Vienna
establish the rumor that the Aus
trian forces have been reinforced by
troops from Galicia and that the
Italian invasion of Austria has been
stopped
Reports from Constantinople claim
fresh victories for the Turks in the
Caucasus. Fresh positions have been
taken there they claim.
With the exception of small front
along the Dneister, the Russian army
is now entirely on Russian territory.
The "On To Berlin" campaign institut-
ed months ago has failed and the
Russians are beginning to see visions
of an "On To Petrograd" march.
In the western battlefield both ar
mics claim minor successes. Several
fierce counter attacks by the Ger
mans were repulsed by the French
troops.

'~~~NN0~
PARIS, June 24.-The matrimonial
mobilization precipitated by the call
to arms last August is far from COM
plete; in consequence there are thous-
ands of women wearing mourning who
are legally debarred from the rights
of widow.
Two thousand five hundred mar
riages of soldiers called to the colors
were celebrated in Paris alone dur
ing the first two weeks following the
outbreak Of war Several thousand
more were obliged to leave for the
front without regularizing situation
that has become hopeless for many
women and children and will become
hopeless for many more.
The procurator of the republic did
what he could by ordering mayors to
disregard the rules; parliament helped
by authorizing marriages at the front
even by proxy, but red tape had
wound marriage so tightly in it's tan
gle that even with carte blanche from
their superiors, the mayors were un-
able to satisfy all demands. War
will have had the effect of remedying
this but in the meantime incalcula-
BILE harm has become permanent.
Doctor Chervin stated before the
Society of Statistics that $4,000 fami-
lies in Paris are in an irregular situa-
ton before the law and society. A
large proportion of these would have
been regularized if less difficulty were
placed in the way of marriage. A
great many persons are unable to pro-
.duce the birth certificates required
their own and their parents. Many
others hesitate in the face Of the in
evitable posting of their names ten
days beforehand on the walls of the
mayors office thus giving a choice
opportunity to the gossips of their
quarter.
A vigorous campaign has begun
among members of the Institute tC
hasten legislation that will remove all
routine obstacles to marriage. join
ing their efforts to those who are
fighting against the depopulation OF
France, they are confident of over
coming the apathy of parliament

LONDON, June 24.-Since the Gen.

tion of the details of the visits of
German aircraft London is full sof
daily rumors that spread all over
town. There has been no general
criticism of withholding the locality
of the raids, as it may be helpful to
the Germans to hear where their
bombs dropped But suppression of
details has had its customary effect
and every day there are stories of
raids that never happened and Of de-
struction that never took place. In
fairness to the censors it should be
admitted that while their facts when
published are meagre they are re-
garded as true, though the delay in
issuing them is hopelessly needless
from newspaper point of view. IN
the case of the worst raid, happening
around midnight as usual, the facts
were not published in time for the

pers of the following day. Meanwhile
rumors had piled on rumors and the

WASHINGTON, D. c., June "a
Official hope that the heads of the
warning military factions in Mexico
would settle their differences with
out interference by the United States,
waned today with the receipt of
communication from Gen. venustiano
Carranza, reiterating his previous as
sertion that he would not agree to
truce with the Villa army pending the
discussion of measures calculated to
bring about peace and restore normal
conditions in the republic.
A spirit of manifest pessimism re-
garding the whole Mexican situation
became evident in official circles inn
mediately following receipt of the
Carranza communication, which was
transmitted to the state department
by United States Consular Agent Ca
rithers, who is now at Vera Cruz, the
text being later confirmed in cable
message received from Consular Agent
Silliman who is practically at the head
Of American affairs in Mexico. The
note, which is interpreted as indicat-
ing the ultimate attitude that will
be assumed by Carranza toward in
terference by United States military
authorities in Mexican affairs, is re-
garded in certain circles as of serious
consequence, and may lead to an ear
ly rupture between the Carranzaistas
and representatives of the Washing
ton government
One immediate consequence of the
pertinent tone of the note that is
looked upon as certain, is the dis
patch of note addressed to Gen
eral Carranza, which will set forth
more clearly than has heretofore been
done the impatience with which Pres
ident Wilson and the administration
views the efforts of contending fac
tions in Mexico to settle their affairs
by military methods, and will urge
Carranza to make certain specific con-
cessions in the effort to establish
peace in the troubled republic. Among
these concessions which, it is stated,
will amount to practically demand,
will be the recognition of truce
with Villa until some definite status
for the establishment of normal con-
ditions can be arranged. Unless Car
rama agrees to this, it is said on high
authority, the expected note will curt
ly inform the doughty Mexican that
his IdCllOH Call uSNeI uOpS W Sdll
either the moral or military support
of the United States, which would
amount to notice that he abdicate
without delay.
Carranza, prior to the receipt of
his latest communication has been
held in high esteem, by Washington
government officials, and has been
looked upon in many quarters as the
logical man to head Mexicos ma
final government during the recon-
struction period through which the
nation must pass, and considerable
SURPRISE has been expressed today
concerning the tone of the communi-
cation.
