DECLARE HIS CHECK
FOR AUTO Worthless
Miller in Market for Car
Had Only As Cents In
His Possession
YORK BANKERS ASK
THAT MAN BE HELD

In City Court today George Miller.
p years old. was arraigned on a
charge Of passing a worthless check.
At the request of Assistant City So
licit0r Lynn the case was continued
until Friday so the cashier of a York,
Pa, bank, on which the check was
drawn, could be summoned. Miller
was held in $500 bail.
Miller was arrested yesterday by De-
tective Benson on the charge of Civ
ing a check for $1,000 to Harry Par
tington, manager of the local branch
of the compassionate Motor Car
Company, in part payment for an au-
tomObile he had purchased
The check was drawn to Mr. Par
tington and signed by Miller. Il was
on the First National Bank of York.
Pa. When searched at the police
station several checks already filled
out in sums of $500 and $500 we're
found on Miller. but his actual cash
amounted to only 45 cents.
Miller who has been living at a To-
cal hotel for several days, began ne
gotiatiOns with Mr.. Partington some
days ago for the purchase of an auto
mobile. He said he was a civil en-
gineer and was going to work i'm the
lower part of the State on the road
improvements. He said he needed a
car to get around. He carried with
him big blue prints.
When he offered the check for ST.
600 yesterday in payment for the ma
chine. Mr. Partington became sus-
picious. While Miller was being en-
tertained by some of the employees
Mr.. PartingtOn went out and by long
distance telephone he talked to the
officers of the First National Bank Of
York, Pa. Mr.. Partington said the
bank officials told him that Miller
had no account there and that he was
wanted on charge of forgery. They
asked that the man be detained until
the police could be notified. Then
the bank officials telegraphed to the
local police to arrest Miller. saying
he was wanted in York and other
cities.
Detective Benson was sent after
Miller, and found him in the automo-
bile show room. When told that the
check he had offered in payment for
the machine was believed TO be worth
less, Miller became indignant. He
at once wrote a letter to the presi-
dent of the York bank telling him
he would withdraw his account there.
The letter contained other threats. He
offered TO send the check for proper
verification at the bank.
II was learned today that Miller
appeared at the Wilmington Automo-
bile Company Offices on Delaware
avenue on Saturday morning. and
opened negotiations with William L..
Hamann. manager, for the purchase
of an automobile. He rendered a
check on a York. Pa. bank in pay
ment. Mr.. Hamann became suspicious
and asked that the check be certified
or that he be allowed to telephone 10

was good. Miller said he would

Austro-GermanS Lose Posi-
tions in Early Stages Of
the ISonzo Battle
AUSTRIAN base At POLA
DAMAGED BY DIRICIBLES
BY The United Press.

ROME, June 8.-The battle of the
Isonzo has begun. Italian troops have
crossed the river at several points
under protection of hot artillery fire
and are striking at the railway lead
ing south to Trieste. Austrian guns
have opened a bombardment all along
the river from Tolmino to the sea.
Two Bersaglieri regiments fought
their way across the river at the out
skirts of Gradisca in a two-day battle.
A hostile force entrenched on the
west bank of the river was first she'll
ed out of its positions and forced back
across the Isonzo.
The Austrians destroyed the bridge
south of Gradisca in their retreat.
From a hill on the east bank they
sent shells crashing down upon the
pontoons the Italians were attempting
to throw across the river and for
twenty-four hours poured in an effec-
tive fire that held the Bersaglieri at
bay.
During the night a small body of
cavalry succeeded in reaching the
east bank at a point several miles
south of Gradisca. They dismOunted
and attacked the Austrian guns from
the rear. While the engagement was
in progress the Bersaglieri threw
bridges across the river at a dozen
points and rushed across. The enemy
retired upon their supporting lines.
the Italians entrenching on the east
bank. The advance at this point
imperils the Austrian positions at
Gradisca.
From Tolmino south to the sea, Ital-
ian forces have moved up to the river
bank preliminary to an attempt to
cross the river in force. Aviators have
brought word that large bodies of
enemy infantry are massed behind the
cliffs on the east bank of the 1sonzo
awaiting the expected attack.
"In the upper lsonzo valley we con-
tinue the severe battle against the
enemy esconced on the slopes" said
an official statement "We have
gained a sound footing on both banks
and are threatening Tolmino The
artillery duel is continuing with
greatest violence southwark to the
sea-"
The artillery battle in the Adige
valley around Rovereto and Riva has
been renewed, though heavy mists are
again hindering the effectiveness OF
the artillery. Aerial reconnaissance
have been rendered impossible by
weather conditions.
The minister of marine announced
today that he had reason to believe
the Austrian works at Pola were dam
aged in the second Italian dirigible
raid Sunday night.

The man killed was S. B. Jones.
The wounded were Thomas Mallard,

Mrs. Mallard and the baby were
shot in the stomach; Graves in the
spine. Mallard's wound was spoken
of simply as very serious-probably
fatal.
1t was not known positively, but
was taken for granted that Mallard
and Graves we're connected with the
oil industry in the Tuxpam terri
tory.
AS a result of their victory, the
Villistas held the town.
Consul Silliman reported from Vera
Cruz that General Obregon's victory
over Generals villa and Angeles at
Leon, Seemed confirmed" Obregon,
he stated, had occupied Leon.
Silliman added that it was rumor-
ed Obregon lost his right arm in the
fighting.
The engagement was said to have
lasted five days and Obregon claimed
to have scattered the Villistas forces
lin small groups"
Considerable other fighting, with
varying results, was reported by
American consuls at other points
throughout Northern Mexico. A num-
Der of reports we're also received
concerning famine conditions, the
situation in some places being de-
scribed as most serious and at others
as somewhat improved.
The State Department was informed
that the special train chartered to
bring Mexico City refugees to Vera
Cruz left the latter place yesterday,
with the British consul on board and
flying the British flag
American Consul Shanklin, w. p.
Gavin and J. b. Rowe were also on

It met with unanimous approval, in
cluding Secretary Bryan's. The let
ter wanted such modification as would
insure the negotiations continuation
even if Germany rejects the princi-
pies set forth. This was decided
against but the secretary neverthe-
less indorsed the communications

According to the best obtainable in
formation the note follows the lines
already indicated in administration
circles. standing firmly on Americas
rights under international law and
asking Germany TO recognize them.
The President said the message would
be dispatched In the Immediate flu

Secretary Bryan was very late in
arriving at the cabinet meeting and
this did. in fact, cause considerable
comment. II was explained that he was
delayed by important business at his
department, but the circumstances Of
his absence. In connection with the
/ objections. he was understood to
have raised to some features of the

possible significance
The President took occasion today
TO make AZ very plain that the delay
in the notes completion was not un
necessary As he put 1t 20 callers. nl

perts could not keep pace with certain
newspapers usually accepted as mouth
pieces OF the administration, in prepar
ing a note that would be proof agains

real split in the cabinet over th
line of action, have embarrassed th
administration greatly, IL was said, tlr

ident and his advisors, created an un
true impression that will be difficult
to remove.
The President frankly told caller
that when the note was up for con
sideration at the various cabinet meet
ings all sorts of suggestions were made
by the members This WIS especially
the case where Secretary Bryan WAL
concerned. The suggestions, however
were in every case of tentative char
acter and at no time did Secretary
Bryan, OF any other cabinet member
do more than urge their views as dc
sirable.

in any way concerned with the League
of Peace meeting to be held In Phila-
