PETROGRAD, July 31.-German
troops have forced crossings of the
Vistula and Vieprix rivers. They are
striking at the railway lines upon
which the Russians depend for their
retreat from the Vistula front. At the
same time large German forces are
advancing upon the Niensn river fort
fress OF Kovno. whose fall would lay
open to attack the railways running
from Warsa VITO Petrograd.
The successes Of the enemy on the
Vistula and on the Vieprz has pierced
the Russian front at two points, the
war office admitted today. but at the
same time 1t was asserted that the
main Russian armies had reached po-
sitions that removed them from any
danger of an enveloping movement
such as the Austro-Ge German general
staffs have apparently planned.
The crossing of the Vistula was ef.
fected at its junction with the Rad
omka river, northeast of Ivankorod.
The German forces which crossed have
been attacked by Russian forces who
are attempting to prevent the bridging
Of the river for the passage Of the en-
emy's main army.
The Vieprz was crossed at Travniki.
after that town had been taken by
the enemy.

ATLANTA WOMEN
ARE SMOKING MORE
Habit Is Decidedly on the inccease,
Particularly in the Young SO-
Ciety Circles, 1t Is Said.

ATLANTA.-Smok is decidedly
on the increase among the women of
Atlanta, particularly in the younger
society circles, according to the state
ment of conservative observers. 1t
is attributed principally to the fact
that Atlanta girls visiting in New
York and the Eastern cities, and In
Europe, have brought home with
them and gradually introduced in
this Southern city habit which has
been more or less general in other
sections of the globe several years.
And the cigarette smoking by wo-
men apparently has no relaxation
whatever to the usual laxness of man
ner or character which in the past
has been supposed usually to accom-
pany it, since some of the young mat
rons and older debutantes who smoke
their scented cigarettes are young
women of refinement and delicacy
and firmly fixed social position.
A more deplorable fact seems to
be that the smoking habit is being
initiated to some slight degree, it is
said. by few of the high school girls
who don't see why they shouldn't
smoke if mother and older sisters are
doing it.
Even at that, it will be long time
before smoking among women be
comes nearly so general here as it is
in fashionable circles in the North
ern cities.

.FITE RAISES new POINT
RAILROAD ALLEGED TO HAVE
VIOLATED PROHIBITION ACT.
Indicted in Whitfield County Jointly
With Firm That Made Shipment
From CHATTANOOGA.

DALTON, Ga.-Judge Fite has
taken a decidedly new step in his
Interpretation of the prohibition
laws, the result being he has had the
grand jury indict the Southern Rail-
way Co. Jointly with the Chattanooga
Supply Co., Harry Miller and M. c.
Motlow of the supply company, the
bill being returned true" Friday af-
ternoon.
The indictment charges that the
defendants did ship from Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, over the Southern rail
road to, into and through Whitfield
county, Georgia, for the purpose of
illegal sale in Georgia spirituous,
malt and other intoxicating liquors. "
The whisky, according to the tes-
timony in a car-breaking case in
which the wet goods were taken from
Southern railway car here, was
shipped by the Chattanooga Supply
Company to Elsie Hollingsworth and
Will Saxon in Atlanta. Mr.. Miller is
manager of the company and Mr.
Motlow, who holds clerical position
With the company, placed the liquor
in a carton, it is said and then the
railroad hauled it to Dalton. Judge

guilty party.

FRANKS CELL NOT
A PALATIAL ABODE
THE REPORTS CONCERNING THE
LUXURIES AND COMFORTS
ARE DENIED.
NEITHER PICTURES NOR RUGS
AdoIm His Regulation Cell, But He
Awaits His Hour Behind Triple
Death Cell Lock. His Face Color
less and He Has Lost Weight.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The frequently
published stories that Leo M. Frank S
cell in the Fulton county tower has
been converted into a comfortable
study with a roller top desk, rugs on
the floor and many books are wide
of the mark. Leo Frank awaits his
fate IT. a barren death-cell, behind
triple locked steel doors. There is
not a picture on the wall, not rug
on the floor nothing but the prison
cot, the chair and one bare wooden
table on which are piled copies of the
briefs and other legal papers in the
case.
Visitors are not admitted inside
the cell at all, but have to talk to
him through the grated door. Ru-
mOrs that he actively directed the
management of the pencil company,
of which he was former manager,
from within his cell are apparently
without foundation, and half the
stories published have given an en-
tirely wrong impression of the cir
cumstances which surround Leo
Frank in Jail.
A reporter who visited him yester-
day for the first time, and who is a
newcomer on the Atlanta newspapers,
vouches for the correctness of the
above statement.
The precautions taken around
Frank are precisely the same as with
any other condemned murderer, and
he enjoys no more special privileges.
The only time the cell door is opened
at all is when a guard takes Frank S
food to him The triple lock is the
kind used only on death cells. At
the right of the door is a steel box,
about eighteen inches in diameter.
The guard first unlocks this box with
key. Inside this box is a second
box which he unlocks with a key,
and inside the second box is a mech
anism which connects with the lock
on the cell door. Only after this
mechanism is worked can the cell
door be unlocked at ali.
Through the middle of the cell is a
rectangular steel pillar. The cell is
about eight feet wide and eight feet
high. Behind the pillar is Franks
iron cot. At the right is the wooden
table. Frank usually sits on a wood
en- chair with his back propped
against the pillar. His face is color
less, and he has apparently fallen off
in weight from the long imprison-
ment. He reads practically nothing
but the daily newspapers and the
briefs of evidence in his case. His
iron nerve has never broken. His
demeanor is still calm, his hand still
steady. He smokes occasionally, but
not to excess.

STIRRED HORNETS NEST
GAME WARDEN WENT TO EARLY
COUNTY TO AID PROSECUTION.
One of Defendants Alleges Warden
and SOlicitOr-GeneraI Usurped Au-
thOrity and Acted Illegally.

The Cuthbert Leader reports that
one of the interesting features of the
recent session of Early superior court
was the Indictment of large number
of prominent citizens of the county
charged with the violation of the
state game law by batting and shoot
ing doves in a baited field.
Hon. Chas. l.. Davis state game
and fish commissioner, went in per-
son to Blakely to look after the pros
ecution of these cases.
Since the return of the bills of in
dictment one of the defendants has
filed a plea of abatement to the in
dictment in which ne alleges the bill
of Indictment is illegal on account of
unlawful and improper conduct upon
the part of the commissioner, and in
which he makes a rather salty attack
upon the commissioner. He alleges
in his plea that lone Chas. L. Davis,
known as state game commissioner,
appeared at court, and, Wanted by
his official position and without the
knowledge of or any authority from
the court, and by no other authority
than that which he arrogantly as
sumed by reason of the fact that he
is game commissioner, went into the
grand jury room and gave in charge
to the grand jury the provisions of
the game law" that in addition to
this he not only laid indictments
against him and other citizens, and
although he was not a witness nor a
member of that body, he actually re-
manned in the grand jury room dur
ing the Investigations and participant
ed in the deliberations and encour-
aged the return of bills against them.
The plea accuses the commissioner
not only of arrogantly usurping the
authority of the court but also of the
solicitor-genera1.
Counsel for defendant says he has
authority to show the interference of
the commissioner was illegal and
makes the bills void, and If the court
below does not uphold him he will
let the higher courts pass upon the
questions raised.

ATLANTA PASTOR
SUED FOR ISLANDER
Owner of Vaudeville Theatre Wants
$4,000 From DIR. White On
Account of Recent Sermon.

ATLANTA.-The Rev. J. L. White,
D. D., pastor of the Tabernacle Bap-
fist church, this afternoon was made
tie defendant in suit filed in the
superior court charging him with
SANDER. The plaintiff, A. K. Jones,
owner and manager of the Mill Vau-
deville theatre at No. SO Wh1tehaII
street, seeks $4,000 damages.
The suit was filed by j. MeSWaln
Woods, attorney for Jones, and is the
outgrowth OF remarks credited to Dr.
White in his sermon on the nlght OF
April IS, in which he is reported to
have said that There is one place ID
our city which presents nothing, SO
far as l am able to discover, that
could be called decent. 1T IS the
MILL
Jones, in his suit, alleges that since
Dr.. Whites sermon was delivered the
earnings of the amusement mouse
have decreased daily from $50 to less
than $40.
The petition cites several remarks
from DR.. Whites sermon upon when
the suit is based. They are as fol-
lows:
s'There is one place in our city
which presents nothing, so far as l
can discover, that could be called de-
cent. 1t is the Mill. 1t can be said
to the credit of our good people that
it is not largely patronized. Very few
women are ever seen in it. l don
see how the managers can afford to
run it, but since it is being run ana
is of such a character as it is, lnde-
cent and vulgar, it ought to be closed

CLAIM SPEAKER
WILL BE ELECTED
Prohibition Forces of the State Are
Sure of Enough Votes to Land
One i'm Sympathy With Cause.


ATLANTA, Ga.-The prohibition
forces of the state claim that they
will be in a position to elect speak
er of the house of representatives this
year who will see that their new pro-
hibitiOn measure gets full consider
alton on the floor OF the house, and
that it will not be blocked by COM
mittees.
Of the five candidates for the
speakership, according to the editor
of THE Commonwealth" four are
men from whom temperance has
nothing to fear.
Either one of these four" says
the editor, would give temperance
and law enforcement questions fair
treatment, and would see that the
temperance bill is not killed in COM
mittee or chloroformed by the com
mittee on rules. These four and
their friends will get together in due
time. So far no candidate has enough
pledged votes to elect him. Take it
from us, this is official. A large
number of legislators have not COM
mitted themselves to any candidate.
1t is politics to say 1 am elected but
there is a wide difference between
claiming it and having it. That the
prohibitionists will elect the next
speaker is a safe prediction. And
when indicted into office he will
not appoint an anti-prohibitionist
chairman of a so-called temperance
committee composed of a majority of
ants"

WAYCROSS, Ga.-Honors belong

Crawford w. Long, are not going to
be given to another man without pro-
test, as indicated by the action taken
here by the Ware County Medical
Society. Resolutions calling atten-
ton to the statement being made
from one of the chautauquas that is
operating in the South this spring
have been adopted by the Ware soci-
ETY. and forwarded to the State Med

urer who gave the honor of discov-
ering anaesthesia to DR.. VIM. T. G..
Morton of Boston, Mass.
Sylvester A. Long, who lectured
here Friday in reviewing the nota-
bles of America, referred to DR.. Nor

The Ware society points with pride
to the fact that a Georgian, DR.. Long,
discovered and used anaesthesia four
and a half years before the alleged
discovery of the Boston dentist.
