WOMEN BEAT UP
NON UNION men
GATES OF PLANT TIED UP BY
STRIKE, ARE sToRMED BY
THE ANGRY FEMALES.

Roosevelt, N. j., Feb. S.--A crowd Of
angry women stormed the gates of the
Liebig and Williams and Clark ferti-
lizer plants here today where nineteen
strikers were shot by deputies January
19. and administered thorough beat
ing to Elmer Osborne, chief engineer
at the Liebig works, and Crank Davis,
a clerk at the Williams ard Clark
plant. Both men were rescued by
special policemen, sworn in yesterday.
The trouble started when some Of
the men attempted to go to work for
$1.6O a day. This was the wage they
received at the time of the strike, the
previous wage having been 50 a day.
The women jeered and hooted the men
going to work this morning and when
Osborne and Davis appeared attacked
them. One man who was in the crowd
of women was arrested.
The companies operating the plants
issued a notice yesterday to the effect
that unless the men returned to work
today they would be discharged. Strike
leaders said none of the strikers was
among the men who went to work
today. @

FORMER SLAVE IS
NOTED ATTORNEY
ONE TIME RESIDENT OF oskA.
LoosA is RECOGNIZED AS A
GREAT APPEAL LAWYER.

St. Louis, Mo-, Feb. S.-Three judges
of the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals listened with profound inter.
est to the plea Of negro attorney, q
one-time slave, who appeared before
them in the federal building here.
The attorney, Turner w. Bell, repre-
sented three men who are confined in
the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worth, Kas. serving sentences on con-
victions of conspiracy in the famous
structural iron workers dynamiting
cases two years ago.
Bells chief contention is that the
men could legally have been convicted
on but one charge under the revised
statutes Of the United States and that
the maximum penalty should have
been but two years in the penitentiary
or a fine of $4,000. They are charged
with having transported dynamite
throughout the country and with the
blowing up Of bridge at Indianapolis.
Bell has been practicing attorney
in Leavenworth twenty-eight years.
His hobby, he said, is appeal cases.
In 1914 he filed sixty-one appeals in
the United States courts, and was sue.
cessful in forty one Of them. In but two
cases were his clients negroes
Bell was born a slave in Tennessee.

BURIAL OF LIVING
PEOPLE CHARGED

Yonkers, N. Y, Feb. 8.-To the story
that eight feeble inmates of the Ger
man Odd Fellows home here had been
put to death because they were aged
and required much attention. was add
ed today the suggestion that two other
inmates might have been buried alive
while still under the influence OF an
anaesthetic 1t is believed that at least
two of the bodies would be exhumed.
The coroner today began an investl-
cation of this suggestion. There was
little tangible evidence for him to work
on, except reports founded on the fears
of the pre- mt inmates, with whom he
held long talk yesterday.
The undertakers who took charge OF
the bodies were to be questioned as to
what steps they had taken to make
sure that life was extinct before burial.

Warsaw, Russian Poland, Feb. s.
The reaction which followed the cessa.
ton of the fierce German aggressive in
the region of Humin and Borjimow
and the transfer of troops northward
to initiate a new offensive in the East
Prussian country which lies between
Tilsit, Gumbinnen and Lipno, has pro-
vided the Russian forces in Poland in
the opinion of Russian military obser-
vers, with an opportunity for the long
heralded offensive whose ultimate re-
suit will be the expulsion of German
forces from West Poland.
Ever since the German attack on
Borjimow which reached its climax
Thursday, the number of German
troops between the junction of the
Bzura river and Bolimow has been de.
creasing. Following their failure to
make material headway against the
Russian line which protected Humin
and Borjimow, the Germans shifted
their attack to the right bank of the
Vistula, northwest of Warsaw, between
Lipno and Sierpec. This offensive, how
ever, was not comparable in intensity
to the former and it evidently was only
an interlude to mask an important

RUSSIANS STARTING
ON NEW OFFENSIVE
Military Observers Believe That the Time Is Ripe for
Movement Which Will Expel the Germans From
West Poland; German Attacks Break Down

transfer of German troops in the direc'
tion of East Prussia.
The new Russian advance, according
to the latest and most reliable informa'
ton reaching Warsaw, already has
been successful between the Bzura
junction and Vitkovitze, where they
have taken a number of German
trenches and started the enemy on
precipitate retreat, in which the Ger
mans left large number of pieces OF
artillery behind them
Russian military observers In Poland
find in the disorder and disorganization
evidenced in this German retreat in
creasing proof of what they call the
weakening of the German morale.
Although 1t is expected here that the
Russian offensive will now extend over
the whole Polish front, even the most
sanguine do not look for any very rapid
in the resumption of aggres-
sive, since the Russians have detailed
information of elaborate German for
tifications extending from the Vistula
south to Skierniewic and Lavka. The
general consensus Of military opinion
in Warsaw today, however, is that the
Russians will retake western Poland in
the early spring.

Democrats Planning to Put
ODDOnentS on the Defensive

Washington, D. c., Feb. 8.-The lull
in the battle in the senate over the
administration ship purchase bill
came to an end today. The senate
had been in recess since Friday.
Meantime the democratic leaders had
been waiting for the arrival of Sena-
tor Newlands to reinforce their side.
The motion of Senator Clarke to re-
commit the shipping bill without in
struction still was pending, with indi-
cations that it would be allowed to
come to a vote Even with the vote
of Senator Newlands, the democratic
leaders admitted that they could not
defeat the Clarke motion.
The leaders, however, are pinning
their hopes on the motion of Senator
Gore to discharge the commerce com
mittee from further consideration Of
a substitute ship purchase bill which
he introduced last week. They are
confident that with the support of pro-
gressive republicans they can carry
the Gore motion. In that event the
substitute bill would be brought back
to the senate and the republicans
would be compelled to resume their
defensive fight.
With the arrival Of Senator New
lands and Senator Smith OF South
Carolina the parliamentary situation
was changed. Senator Smith had not
been expected to return on account
of serious illness in his family. With
his vote and that of Senator New
lands. administration leaders claimed
