AUDACIOUS ATTACK
 RESULTS IN CAPTURE
 OF RUSSIAN GENERAL

Austrian Headquarters, June Fl. (via London, 9:50 D. m )-Details of one of the most audacious achievements pf the war-capture of a Russian gen- cral. colonel and almost 100 men by little squad of Austrian prisoners has reached here.
 The chief actor was Lieutenant Won Pindter. commander of patrol of land wehr and uhlans, who was captured by Cossacks after the battle of Tarnow in May.
 The Russian cavalry brigade to which the Cossacks belonged was retreatirc with Von Pindter and other Austrian prisoners when it came under the fire of Austrian artillery. Won Pindter, 1t is said, took advantage of the confusion and armed himself and six other pris- oners with Russian rifles and ordered the general to surrender and made him and colonel and 10 other officers and 3S2 men prisoners, and captured fifteen guns. a number of horses and carts of the transport column
 With the assistance of an Austrian machine gun detachment. which arrived later, Won Pindter, 1t is asserted. took his prisoners and booty to the rear and turned them over to the corps head quarters.

RAPID SUCCESSES
 SURPRISING EVEN TO
 PEOPLE OF GERMANY

Berlin, June 21-(Via London, 10:5o D. m.)-Rapidity of the Austro-German suc- cesses excites astonishment here. It was believed the Russians would check the allies advance for some days on the Grodek line; hence the bulletins issued to- day recorded results far exceeding. the expectations of the most optimistic ob- servers.
 Special dispatches from the front de- Grodek and the Russian resistance from Grodek and thre Russian resistance from the Tanew river to the mouth of the Wereszyca. Air scouts reported the Rus sians have fallen back on their last line of ,defenses protecting Lemberg, which is nine miles west of the city limits.
 The situation at Lemberg Is evidently precarlous, as General Won Mackensen to- day seized the railway between Lemberg and Rawa Ruska. the main line of travel northward. This. 1t is considered, gives the Russians the alternative af preparing for speedy evacuation or of trying to hold the city. with the risk of being enveloped by Won Mackensen's army sweeping around southeastward and forming a junction with General Linsingen's forces.

1 martial law, giving Major Catron full power
 Those on the governors porch could not see that the crowd was throwing missiles at the soldiers and a call for restoratives for Lieutenant Parker
 came as a surprise to those at the house.
 The missiles were hurled just as the soldiers were drawn up to disperse the | crowd The first line marched out of the gate and the crowd began to fall back. It was followed in a few minutes by another line and so on until all ex-
 cept about a score of men had marched
 out and were scattering the people right and lcft and forcing automobile drivers to get out of the martial law
 zone. The last 20 men were lined Up in the gateway with fixed bayonets
 and allowed no one to enter or de- part.
 The crowds dispersed reluctantly but within an hour the road in front of the governors estate had practically been cleared.

Arrival of Angeles in United States and RumOred Car ranza-Obregon Rupture.
 Both Significant
ANGELES CLAIMS HE AND VILLA ARE IN
 PERFECT HARMONY
Carranza Denies Break With Obregon. But Indications Tend to Prove the Two Are
 At Outs

Washington. June 2I.-'rhe unex- pectcd arrival in the United states of Gen. Felipe Angeles. General Villas principal military expert since the split In the Mexican constitutional move ment. and reports of friction between General Carranxa and his field lender, Obreson, have given rise to persistent rumors that certain clements In the contending factions nre about to in- auguppte n definite movement to bring about peace In Mexico.
 General Angeles, passing through Chi cago today en route to Boston, where he will visit his family, denied there had been any break between himself and Vil- la. This was asserted also by Villa repre- sentatives in Washington. Enrique c. Llorente, Villas special agent and Q close personal friend of Angeles. although dis claiming any official knowledge intimated that Angeles had been commissioned to discuss peace plans with the Washington government and that some of Carranza' S leading supporters, including Obregon and members of the Carranza cabinet, whose resgnations have been accepted, were eognizant of efforts to be made for solution of Mexican difficulties.
 Denies Break
 General Carranza, who thus far has de- clined to accept Villas offer for confer ence to devise plan for re-establshment of constitutional government formally notified his Washington repre esentative to- day that reports of a break between him self and Obregon were untrue Notwith- stantiI,s this. however, officials here were inclined to the belief that Obregon and other constitutionallst leaders who thus far have stood by Carranza in his uncom- promising attitude. were now ready to talk of peace negotiations.
 The resignations of a part of the Car ranz3 cabinet were regarded here as par ticularly significant In view of Carranza' s refusal to consider Villas appeal for a conference. It was reported that friends of General Carranza in the United States had undertaken to dissuade him in his de- cision to ignore Villas request for con ference.
 Britains Warned
 Of particular interest to Washington of- fici9ls was the announcement from Lon don late today that Sir Edward Grey, sec retary for foreign affairs. had warned British subjects against visiting Mexico unless absolutely obliged to do so. A few hours before news of this reached the United States advices reached the state department from Mazatlan that Yaqui Indians had raded the town of Mochls and had killed John Jamiston.

Tn the hope of getting a unanimous decision That was the situation in the Standard oil litigation.
 Close observers of the courts pro- cedure and the governments anti trust proceedings point out. too. that reargument Of the Harvester suit may have been ordered because of the many questions involved which have not been raised in trust cases hereto fore and because many of them come within the purview of the recently en- acted trade commission and Clayton trust laws.
 The case, which Is regarded as of first importance particularly in view of It's similarity to the Steel case, which the government recently lost in the lower courts, cannot now be de- cided before fall and probably the win ter months. A decision has anxiousiy been awaited in business and financial circles for months.

FEAR FOR SAFETY OF LEO FRANK

FEAR FOR SAFETY
 OF LEO FRANK
 A telephone message from Milledgeville, where the state prison is located and where Leo M. Frank taken today after Governor Slaton had commuted his death sentence to life imprisonment, said that trouble was feared there tonight and asked that the governor order out the Milledgeville company of militia. The governor told his informant that such request would have to come from the sheriff of Baldwin county.
 At midnight, however. the sheriff had rot requested troops
 The governor was surrounded in his home by about a dozen friends, nearly every one of whom was armed with a rifle or pistol. The unexpected arrival Of member of the family at dark corner of the front porch caused the gov ernor himself to hastily pick up large pistol
 In front of the governors house were Tore than 100 automobiles filled with persons evidently there to see what the crowd would do. The troops had great difficulty in clearing the road of these I achines and many of their orders were met with the retort of "shoot,'
 Late today crowds that had been demon- stratng on downtown streets practically had disappeared, but shortly after dark the main business thoroughfares became thronged. Later in the evening the po- lice had difficulty in keeping down rowdy ism. Finally the proposal that they r arch to Governor Slaton's home, four miles from the center of the city was accepted by several hundred men and boys.
 It was reported at the governors home that this crowd was on its way and he immediately got into touch with Sheriff Mangum, and state militia officers. The eheriff arrived soon after and swore in as special deputies each of the governors 8 friends who had gone to his home to aid in any emergency ttat might arise.
 Before the sodiersf arrived the crowd had ended it's long march and was be- coming threatening at the entrance to the governors spacious grounds. They were prevented from entering by several strands of barbed wire, stretched between huge pillars at the gateway. Behind the barbed wire stood several county police men. As the crowd became louder all llghts in the governors home, about 200 yards from the gates were extinguished His friends sat on the porch, rifles in hand, and all seemed relieved when sev- eral automobiles loaded with soldiers ar- rived at the gates.

INSTINCT OF THE RACE
Continued from page s

hind the old man. Green and had played
with fire, kindled and fed with the heart
strings of people, and now it was attaining
the dimension of pyre.
Green had noticed nothing unusual He
stepped forward in his most resplendent
manner. The young man turned to him.
ave are looking for the establishment of
M. Nicholsky," he said, holding out one of
our make-believe letterheads. ave do not
find the building at the corner"
And then Green knew! His eyes BETRAYED
him. He stepped before the bowed figure
on the bench.
@Send them away! Send them away!'
Nichelstein was moaning through his fingers
The young man took step forward and
peered at him curiously. Then his gaze
wandered over the rear of the shop. Sud-
denly his eyes lighted on little shelf above
the bench where, amid scrupulously clean
surroundings for the filthy shop, stood two
profile photographs in frames.
"Look!" he said, touching the dark girl
and pointing.
Green was too slow in his screening move
ment. The tense stiffness that fell in the
shop seemed to pound against ones ear
drums. There was the tinging feel of air
charged with static electricity Now for the
test of race! Now for the tryout of Green's
theory! Now for your blood instinct!
The girls face filled with surprise, anger,
humiliation. "Oh!" she cried, springing for
ward. "They are my pictures!' She spoke
the English of educated Russians. She
wheeled on Green, who barred the way
"Tell me at once, she jerked out with
stamp of her foot, @tell me what they are
doing in this horrible place in the possession
of that filthy old Jew!"
Green's eyes were raised from the floor.
His crimson gave way to palor and his eyes
took fire. A sudden flood of anger swept
away his last vestige of caution-not that
it mattered much now.
"You are Ruth Nicholsky," he said with
half-sneering look. "And you want an ex-
planation, do you? Well, you shall have
