FRENCH TAKE STEINBACH
Strike Victorious Stride in AIsace.
Advance on Muelhausen and
lombard AItklrch.

Paris.-Steinbach has fallen. The
Alsatian town to which the French
laid violent siege week ago and which
they later invested and forced their
way into, fighting from house to house
and gaining ground only foot by foot,
was carried by the French, according
to the official statement issued here.
Cernay (called Sennheim by Ger
mans) is being violently attacked by
the French. This town is but three
miles from Steinbach and the general
offensive is directed against these two
French guns massed before Altkirch
continue their bombardment of that
important railway center, which also is
but about eight miles from Muelhau-
sen, but slightly west of south. Stein
bach, Cernay, Thanh and Aspach are
grouped just north of west of Muel-
hansen. Thus Muelhausen Is threten-
ed from two quarters, its front on the
west and its left flank on the south.
So important is the success of the
French in these operations that staff
officers of the French army have ap-
piled to their attainment that word
which has been treasured by even the
most radical spirits for use only in de-
cided triumphs-"victory."

GERMANS DEVELOP

BERLIN CLAIMS PROGRESS

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Statement
Announces Advance In the Ar
comes and Around Arras.

Paris.-A violent German counter OF
fensive developed in the Argonne re
gion about Verdun and in front o.
Steinbach, In Alsace. Air scouts re
port the arrival of important bodies o.
re-enforcements brought to strengthen
the German lines in the Argonne and
along the Aisne.
Evidently deeply concerned at the
rapid progress made by the French
forces on this eastern wing, the invad
ers began the day with terrific ar
tillery fire all along the line, concen.
trating on the region Of Lassigny on
the trenches held by the French at the
crossing of the road from LIE Four de
Paris to Varennes and the Haute Chiv-
auchee road and upon the works to the
north of Verdun. These cannonades
were followed at intervals by infan-
try attacks, but all were repulsed by
the French, who maintained their po-
sitions inviolate throughout
The French artillery position on the
ridge, which dominates Steinbach,
and from which the fire was directed,
which finally dislodged the German
forces when they were compelled to
evacuate on Monday, was subjected to
a particularly violent bombardment,
but the condition of the hillsides and
the country all about, due to the heavy
rains, made further attacks by infan-
try impossible.
Resumption of the offensive at Stein
bach and the bombardment of Thanh,
where the hospital was made the tar
get of German shells, are believed to
be closely related to the attempt of
the German troops to thrust forward
a wedge between the French northern
column, attacking the outer defenses
of Muelhaasen from the direction of
Mount Bonhomme, and that which is
advancing from Thanh through Stein
bach and Cernay.
The third of Gen. Pau's columns,
which is advancing from Belfort as its
base, has so far penetrated the VI
ley of the II to the southwest of Alt
kirch, the key to the south door Of
Muelhausen. that they have taken
a position in small forest two and,
one-half miles from Altkirch.
Here the French "75s" have batter
ed the German guns into silence and
have established themselves in posi-
lions which command the earthworks
which defend the town in three lines
on the south and southwest.
Elsewhere on the 350-mile battle |
front artillery duels were fought at a
number of scattered points, but the
weather conditions have been so bad
that operations of extensive character
have been impossible.

PANIC IN NEW YORK SUBWAY
700 Face Death When Crowd Gets Elk.
Observation-Disclosures Cable 10
the Cause OF Trouble.

New York.-The worst accident In
the 10 years history of New York's
subway occurred during the rush hours
when 700 passengers in two stalled
trains were stricken with panic In the
darkened tubes by dense smoke and
acrid fumes from short-circuited ca.
Bile. In the struggle to escape some
zoo persons were injured, one, wom-
an, fatally. Others, overcome, were
rescued, unconscious, by police and
firemen, while scores struggled to the
street, historical, their clothing torn
and faces blackened by smoke.
The city was thrown into the throes
OF transportation blockade without
parallel In its history. 1t was not I'M
I'll eight hours that a wheel again
turned in the subway, and then only a
limited local service was maintained.
The. hundreds of thousands of passen-
gers the subway ordinarily carries
were diverted to elevated and surface
systems, and when the home-bound
rush began neither system had ade-
HNsN AoSAAAtiCo. HOlC WtI0 uO SUI
way trains running to Brooklyn and
dense mass of humanity, concentrat-
ing at the Brooklyn bridge, prolonged
the rush hour period for two hours in
struggle to board trains and cars.
The accident occurred between the
F1ftieth and Fifty-ninth street sta
lions and called out virtually the en-
tire fire and ambulance service on
Manhattan island. The two trains, an
express and local, both packed, came
to stop midway between the stations
and the lights went out.
A large feed cable had blown out
In Its conduit, some SO yards distant,
and soon the cars were filled with the
FUMES of burning rubber. This soon
grew unbearahe and it took little to
start a panic in the darkness.

ARIZONA ANT|A[|EN
LAW HELD INVALID
SPECIAL COURT OF THREE FED
ERAL JUDGES MAKES RULING
IN FRISCO.
INJUNCTION is PERMANENT
Court Holds That the Statute Violated
Guarantees of Life, Liberty and
Possession of Property Made
to All Alike.

San Francisco.-The Arizona anti
alien employment act, adopted by the
people of the state at the November
election as an initiative measure, was
declared unconstitutional, null and
void by a special court of three fed
eral judges.
The court held that the statute VIC
lated the guarantees of life, liberty and
the possession of property made to all
alike, whether aliens or not, under the
Fourteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition; that if the state of Arizona
could forbid any employer to hire more
than 20 per cent Of aliens, it could with
equal justice forbid him to hire one
per cent, or even an individual alien.
This struck at the vitals of the act
which ordered that any employer with
q pay roll Of five or more names must
see that at least 80 per cent of those
names were duly qualified electors.
1.-THE law was intended" said the
court, ITO be a police regulation, but
under guise of police regulation the
state was in effect depriving the COM
plainant of his right to labor, guaran-
teed to him by the Fourteenth amend
ment to the United States constitu
tion.
"The supreme court Of the United
States recently has held that the right
to labor is right of property. An
alien cannot be deprived of the right
of property under the constitution"
The court made permanent tempo
rary injunction issued by District
Judge VIM. H. Sawtelle restraining en-
forcement of the law.

o'ksefe In Charge.

Quietly and without a hitch or the
slipping Of any official or managerial
cogs. the change In the personnel OF
superintendent Of the penitentiary has
been effected, and Ed ]. O'Keefe, late
In charge of Rankin State Farm, has
taken charge of the entire property.
1t is a big responsibility which Mr..
O'Keefe has assumed, and 1t is ex-
pected that he will measure up to all
the requirements. The change was
effected yesterday, when DR.. ]. G.
Cuttings, superintendent since 1911,
received his successor at the Parch.
man headquarters, and turned over
that big farm together with all other
property, real and personal, to his
young successor.
A recent appraisement OF the pro-
perty has been made, which DR.. Gath
ings has turned over to his successor,
and this will be formally laid before
the board Of trustees at the monthly
meeting, at which time, it is presumed,
DR.. Gaithings will submit his final an
nual report
From Parchman DR.. Gaithings will
probably go to Tunica County, where
he has farming interests and where
he may resume the practice of his
profession Of medicine and surgery,
from which he had retired for several
years prior to accepting the superip
tendency Of the penitentiary.

May Ship Cotton.

Negotiations with a view to sending
a chartered steamship load of Missis
sippi cotton direct from New Orleans
or the Atlantic seaboard to German
ports, which subject has been tenta.
lively discussed for some weeks past,
have now assumed something like def
mite shape, and according to state.
ment Of Gov. Brewer it looks very
much as If the plans will be perfected.
The state has on hand, ready for de-
livery, between 1000 and 5000 bales,
and this, together with private cotton
held for market since the season
opened, would make up a cargo Of
something like 10000 bales of the
staple.
In this matter Gov. Brewer has the
active cooperation of the trustees of
the penitentiary, all three of whom are
heartily in favor of disposing of this
cotton by direct shipment, If the ex.
ira insurance and the war risk can be
arranged satisfactorily. Negotiations
are now going forward with view to
arranging for payment of the purchase
money, on basis of fraction over
20 cents pound at New York, on pro
duction of the bills of lading, direct to
Bremen or Hamburg. 1t is the under.
standing that on actual delivery of the
cotton on board ship, and production
of the bills Of lading, invoices and all
insurance, marine and war included,
provided for, New York exchange for
the amount represented would be
forthcoming.
AS stated by Gov Brewer, If they
are successful in tn negotiations now
pending, 1t will mean net income OF
something over $250,000 to the state
at the quoted rate for delivery at Ger
man ports.
