the strong freshmen line of forwards
for substantial gains on almost every
try. Scovil particularly has improved
this week. Frank Butterworth, the old
plunging Yale fullback, has taken him
in hand, and has shown him how to
use his weight.
An added incentive is the voice and
opinion of Tom Shevlin, who followed
every play closely and gave his advice
to the men with absolute freedom.
Shevlin is the greatest man to drive"
a foot ball team that Yale has ever
seen, and this year is no exception to
his usual performances.

 Mayor Bloom said yesterday that he is of the opinion that the per capita street tax might be So handl- ed as to allow a balance sufficient to pay the expense of erecting the flcodgates.

Great Battle Developing for Possession of Height Dom
 mating Friuli.
CRUCIAL CONFLICT
 WILL BE- IN TRENT
King Victor Emmanuel's Armies Meet. ing With Strong Resistance from Austrians, Who Have Strongly
 Fortified Positions.

Rome, June 4.-The Italians have captured the summit and the slopes of Montenero, across the Isonzo, a position of great military importance and dominating two roads which are necessary to their advances on Trieste.
 This information was telegraphe a from the Italian general headquar,- CTS this evening.
 In the Trentino front, in the Tyrol, Italian batteries stationed on the As,ago plateau. after silencing the batteries of Luzerne and 'otitzeverle, have seriously damaged the batteries in forts Bslvidere and Busaverle, guarding Roveretoe, key to the Ital- ian advance on Trent On the Carnic front, the Austrian battery at Montecroce also was damaged.
 The battle at Montenero is de- valop.ng into large proportions. This height reaches 1900 feet above the sea, and guns mounted upon it's crest can dominate the whole plain of Friuli, across which stretch two roads leading to Polmino, where the Austrians. with the batteries on the Santa Mario and Santa Lucia hills, have been able seriously to hamper the crossing of the river by the Ital- ians On this front, extending from Polmino to Tarvis, the Austrians have established 9 line of batteries upon which they apparently depend to halt the Italion sweep into the valley of Sava.
 Encounter Real ResistanotN,'
 The report tonight received from general Headquarters seates that the Italians everywhere on this sector have encountered strongly entrench- ed positions, heavily guarded by artillery and batteries of quick fir ing guns.
 All day yesterday the troops of the king met with stubborn resistance, gaining at one point and losing at another, but never with heavy losses.
 While these efforts to penetrate the Austrian lines in the direction of Trieste are proceeding with success which is netting with joyful approv- al in Rome. it is believed generally by military observers here that the real battle for supremacy-the cru clal struggle of the 1talo-Austrian conflict-will not occur on the Isonzo front, but in the province of Trent, where the Austrians are mak- ing vast preparations by massing large forces. Great numbers of guns are being mounted in the mountain ous regions of Trent, where natural Notifications are afforded which make the positions, once guarded by heavy guns, almost unassailable ex- cept by strong bodies of troops.

NTSTRO-GERMANS CELEBRATE
Surprise In Two Countries at Speed!
 of Campaign.

Berlin, via London, June 4.-1he jubilation throughout Germany and Austria-Hungary over the fall of Przemysl is mingled with surprise at the speea with which the cam paign against this stronghold was brought to a successful end.
 Vienna, Prague and Budapest all have witnessed scenes of the widest rejoicing. over this latest victory in Galacia. Like Berlin, these three cities are bedecked with flags. Thousands of persons fill the streets alternately singing tie German and Austrian national anthems.
 Almost all the expert observers in Berlin expected a stubborn resist ance on the part of the Russian forces in 'Przemysl. Furthermore conditions within the stronghold show that the Russians were looking forward for long siege. and tha: they had endeavOred to prepare for it.
 } Siege operations on the part of the Austrian and German forces were necessary because the Russians dur ing their two months occupation had in a measure restored the forti- fications.
 The artillery attack reached it's climax on Sunday, when the forts literally were sprayed with shells The moment the German command CTS noticed a slackening of the Rus sian fire storming operations were begun.
 Tho Russians defended themselves until the last moment. They had no time to rescue any guns or material No details are available as to the ma terial captured or number of men taken prisoners.
 Tn an edtoral article. the Vos- sische Zeitung declares that the Rus sian menace in Austria Hungary has been broken forever, and that Russia. has been deprived of it's dearest wish the possession Of Galicia, which was to have become a new Russia.

 the JubilatiOn.

London. June 4-Close on the heels Of the Russ ans. rerreatng from Przemysl, the Austro- German armies of General von Mackenzen are prvss- ing their advance on Lemburg. The Russians are covering their retreat by violent rear-guard actions
 On the heights southwest of 'Medyka, on the Przemysl-Grodek railroad, they have posted considerable forces of artillery in an effort to stem the Teuton advance. Large forces of
 Germans aye storming these posi- tions.
 The collapse of the Russian cam paign in Galacia is near at hand, ac- cording to advices from Vienna and the Austrian Headquarters in the field. Despite this optimism how eve:, it is evident the Russians still hold strong positions on line which includes roughly the lower San, Wisnia and Dneister rivers. The terrain affords them some natural positions easy of defense, of which the great Dneister marshes are a part.

the centre than at the point near the end where the shoe strikes 1t.
 The movement of he piston opens valve, allowing air pressure from the air-Drake train line to enter . small air cylinder in the cab of the locomotive. This pressure forces . piston upward; and this piston operates crank controlled by an electric lock. The lock, mounted on an axle, revolves if it's magnet is de-energized, but does not revolve if the magnet is energized. Revolving, an arm attached to it operates a three-ported valve, allowing air pres- sure from the train line to enter the operating cylinder. This opens the engineman's air-brake valve, giving service application of the brakes. and closes the throttle.
 The electric lock Is operated by | current from the roadside battery conveyed through a wire extending from the shoe upward through pipe to the box in the locomotive cab which contains the lock.
 Thus the absence of the electric current at ramp, from any cause, will result in the application of the air-brakes. There Is train line pres sure in all pipes. and . failure of pipes or their connection also causes . stop.

A New Safeguard Against Railroad Collisions

A T last a device has been A invented and successfully
 tested which appears to solve the problem of preventing railway collisions. This device goes to the root of the matter, acting auto matically with the proper setting of train signals and relieving the loco motive engineer of all responsibility. Whenever the safety of the train and it's human freight depends on sudden stop. this device insures, without human intervention, the closing of the throttle and the set ting of the air-brakes.
 The most drastic tests covering . period of more than a year on 1O7 miles Of double track equipped with ninety locomotives, made a triumph ant showing in which there was not one failure of the device to operate. The road referred to is the Chicago and Eastern Illinois. The device and its operation are thus described in recent issue of The Railway Age Gazette:
 The apparatus IS electro-mechani- cal, so called. A ra4np fixed on the ties, p inches outside of the track rail, engages a member depending from he engine. The ramps are fixed in the rear of each automatic block Rfuhta Rasorv,.d
