500 MORE BURIED
TRUCKS USED AS H6ARsEs IN
THE EAsTLAND FUNERAL.
Many Bodies Placed In Vaults Because
Men Cannot Dig Graves Fast
Enough.

Chicago, July 30.-Five hundred of
the Eastland dead were buried
Wednesday.
They went to the cemeteries on all
the city's stTeets-long lines of car
riages and tomobiles-hearses and
trucks that were used for hearses.
They were so thick on the roads to
the burying grounds that one process
sion frequently had to wait until an
other went by. Undertakers were un-
able to get as many hearses as they
needed. 1t was no uncommon sight to
see five boxes on a motor truck
draped in black and purple and white
big boxes and medium and small
ones.
The burying took all morning and all
afternoon. Many bodies were placed
In vaults-for there were not men
enough to dig graves for them.
The city wakened early at the toll
ing of bells. 1t was raining, and dark,
and cool The undertakers arrived,
the carriages or automobiles pulled
up before the doors of the mourners,
and soon the professions were under
way to the churches, and then out to
Mount Carmel, Mount Olivet, Calvary,
Bohemian National. St. Adalbert and
Forest Home cemeteries.
Community services were held in
the Church of Mary Queen of Heaven,
Fifty-third avenue and West Twenty
fourth street, where 30 coffins were
laid out in the form of a cross.
The crowd stood outside, heads
barred to the rain The wet came in
through the chinks in the uncompleted
roof; the singing of the choir girls and
the chanting of the priests came out
to the crowd in undiminished volume.
Bishop Paul p. Rhode preached in
Polish and his eyes were wet at times
and his hand shook with emotion.

REBELS TAKE HAITI CAPITAL
Rout President and Set Fire to the

Prevails.

Port au Prince, Haiti, July 29.-The
revolutionary movement against Pres

der the leadership of DR.. Bosalvo Bobo
last March, showed itself here. After
several hours of fighting at the presi
Dental residence, where Guillaume
made a courageous defense against
the revolutionists. the president took
refuge in the French legation, whittier
he had been preceded by the mem.
bers of his family. The palace was
on fire before Guillaume decided to
seek refuge under the flag of France
The rebels captured the palace.
Included among the victims of the
attack on the presidential residence
was the chief of police of Port au
Prince. The exact number of casual,
ties is not known. but 1t is believed to

START TO EVACUATE
DISPATCHES INDICATE RUSSIANS
PREPARE TO LEAVE POLAND.
Cars Men Will Retire Eastward to
the Defensive Positions Along
the Line Of the Fortresses.

London, July 31.-The speedy evac-
uation of Warsaw and all of Poland
by the Russians is indicated in dis
patches received Thursday from Pc
trograd. Although the Russians are
checking the Austro-German attacks
along the whole front, Russian war OBJ
servers. after conversations with
competent military authorities"
seemingly are preparing the Russian
people for a new retreat.
The Rech says the Russian will re-
tire eastward to the defensive posi-
tions along the line of the fortresses
of Kovno, Grodno and Brest Litovsk.
These points lie just outside the Pol
ish border on the east. Such a move,
if carried out, would give the Germans
and Austrtans full possession of the
$4,000 square miles of Poland and its
population of over 100000.
The Petrograd correspondent of the
Daily Mail sent the following dis
patch:
"a momentous decision was taken
by the Russian general staff. The Ger.
man turning movement against the
Blonie line, south and southwest of
Warsaw, has succeeded so far that it
was judged wiser to carry out drastic
regrouping of the Russian forces.
This may carry with it the evacua-
tion of Warsaw, but the effect of that
has long since been discounted by the
Russian people and it must not cause
any undue depression or anxiety
among the allied nations. Voluntary
withdrawal is far better than defeat.
The territory evacuated can be re-
taken; an army annihllated cannot be
renewed. The result will not be af-
fected by what in a military sense is
a local incident so long as the Rus
sian army remains in the field"

MILITIA CALLED OUT
WORKERS KILLED BY STRIKERS
PAY WITH THEIR LIVES FOR
REMAINING AT POSTS.
Troops-offieers Beaten Severely
in Clash at Bridge.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Massena, N. Y.-Three companies
of the state militia from Malone and
ogdenburg arrived here and took
charge of the strike situation at the
plant of the Aluminium Company Of
America, after a riot in which several
workmen, who refused to walk out
were killed. Sheriff Day, of st. Law
renee county, who was called to Mas
sena at the first outbreak, was unable
to subdue the strikers. With deputies
and policemen he charged the strikers
at a bridge entrance to the plant,
which they were holding, but the Off
GERS were driven back. In this en-
counter four policemen were beaten
and injured severely. Finding it i'm
possible to control the 2,400 employees
on strike, Sheriff Day called upon
Gov. Whitman for troops, and the
three companies reached here. The
strikers, barricaded behind the bridge,
were charged by the troops with fixed
bayonets and dispersed at once Later
the troops took possession of the plant
and established patrol, the Sheriff's
deputies meanwhile being sent out to
arrest about 40 strikers responsible
for the outbreak While there was
promiscuous shooting near the factory
the militia took no part in it, these en-
counters being between strikers and
employees who had refused to join
them in a walkout. Representatives
of the men declared that their grieV-
ance was due to a demand for higher
wages which they claimed was not
granted. The factory has been rushed
with vast war orders. Officials of the
company charge alien influence in TO-
menting the strike.

neral professions made their way

tege led by the body of one Of the dis
aster victims. Every hearse in the
city of Chicago was in use. These
were not sufficient, and many bodies

IS now DEAD
FORMER POLICE LIEUTENANT
FIFTH TO PAY PENALTY FOR
MURDER PLOT.
RoSENTHAL CASE is ENDED
Execution Carried Out Only After
Every Legal Effort Had Been EN-
tended to Save the Convicted
Man. d,


Ossining, N. Y, July 31.-Charles
Becker, former police lieutenant in
New York, went to his death in the
electric chair in Sing Sing peniten-
tiary shortly before six o'clock Fri
day morning.
His was the fifth life which the
state demanded for the conspiracy
which resulted in the murder of Her
man Rosenthal, the gambler, who was
shot down in front of the Metropole
hotel in New York on July 16, 1912.
Becker had been convicted of hir-
ing band of thugs to do away with
Rosenthal to prevent the exposure
Of police graft in New York city's
Tenderloin.
The four gunmen who were convict
ed of the actual shooting-"Dago
Frank" Lefty" Louis, Whitley"
Lewis, and "Gyp the Blood"-were ex-
ecuted April 13, 1914.
Beckers execution was carried out
only after every legal effort had been
extended to save him. He was con-
victed in the first trial ending on Oc-
tober "a, 1912, and was sentenced to
death, but later was granted new
trial which, however, resulted in a Sec
ond conviction on May 20, 1914, and
the passage of the second death SEN
tence.
Then followed a long series of ap-
peals and delays, and on Wednesday
Supreme Justice Ford refused third
trial on the ground that new evidence
Offered, consisting mainly Of aff1davits
from convicts that they heard others
framing the case of Becker" was not
sufficient to warrant a reopening of
the case.
There remained only the hope that
Governor Whitman would extend ex-
ecutive clemency and grant a re-
prieve or commute the sentence.
A final appeal to Governor Whitman
who as district attorney prosecuted
Becker on both his trials-to spare
Becker's life was made by Mrs. Beck
er Thursday evening when she met the
governor at Poughkeepsie. When. the
governor told Mrs. Becker as gently
as possible that he could not inter
fere, the condemned mans last hope
of escaping death was dissolved.
Prior to seeing Mrs. Becker the
governor conferred for more than an
hour with Becker's attorney, who ap-
pealed for reprieve in order that
the case might be taken to the court
of appeals, and also asked the gov
ernor to permit former Justice Edgar
M. Cullen and Charles Andrews to
pass on the appeal for communication
or reprieve as specially appointed
commissioners.
The executive declined both re-
quests When asked to grant re-
prieve that new evidence might be
submitted, the governor said there
was none.

RUSS ARMY TRAPPED
ONLY ONE LINE OF RETREAT
LEFT OPEN TO cZAR's
GREAT ARMY.
THIS MAY NOW BE BLOCKED
London Experts Fear Marshal Won
Mackensen's Blow Was Properly
Timed and That Russia viii Soon
Be Eliminated From the Conflict.

Mackensen's Blow Was Properly
Timed and That Russia viii Soon
Be Eliminated From the Conflict.
London, Aug. with the Russians
straining every effort to withdraw
their armies and guns from Warsaw,
the Austro-German armies of Field
Marshal Won Mackensen have cut one
Of their two remaining lines of retreat
He has broken the Russian front be-
tween the Vieprz and Vistula rivers
and is astride the Lublin-Cholm rail-
way in the region of Piaski, half way
between the two cities.
Meanwhile General Won Buelow in
the north is believed to be almost
upon the vital Warsaw-Petrograd rail
way, the last remaining line of re-
treat for the Russians. He is in com
mand of huge cavalry forces and is
able to move rapidly.
In view of developments of the last
few days there is no longer any doubt
in military circles here that the Rus
sian retirement is we'll under way, al
though it may be several weeks before
the conquerors enter the Polish capi
tai.
The question now for the Grand
Duke Nicholas to solve is how to save
his armies. Even with two railroads
at his command he faces a serious
problem. Now he has but one railway
and it is seriously threatened.
Military experts believe it probable
that Won Mackensen timed his blow
in the south to coincide with a move
by Won Buelow. If this last line can
be cut the Russians will be practical
ly trapped between the tentacles o.
the Teuton armies advancing from
north ard south and Russia, to all in
tents and purposes, would be eliminat
ed from the war.
The offensive which carried Won
Mackensen to his goal, the Lublin
Cholm railway at which he has been
hammering for weeks, was COM
menced early Thursday morning. The
Germans had been heavily REINFORCED
by both men and artillery, 1t is re
ported, and great stores of shells had
been brought up. So fierce was the
bombardment directed against the
Russian positions that whole lines of
trenches and field Notifications were
blotted out. The attack was concen-
trated on the front west of the Vieprz
river in the region of Piaski
The Russian line wavered and
broke. The Germans driving through
pressed their advance to the railway
which they are now astride. block
ing the retreat of large Russian
forces from the Warsaw district.
The Russian front in the entire dis
trict between the Vistula and the
Bug, the Germans say, is now "wav.
ering" and the Slavs are maintaining
their ground only in the vicinity of
Groubieszow.
simultaneously with this success in
the south the German army of Gen
eral Won Woyrsch effected passages
of the Vistula at several points south
of Warsaw between the mouth of the
Pilica and Kozienice
