time Of three seasons Of playing or

any other leader of society orchstras

twelve clubs are regular patrons OF
| this popular orchestra
'tTheSe facts may be attributed tO
several reasons: Don Richardson is

adept in selecting the unique pro-
grams for his respective clubs. The

WASHINGTON, March 13-Con-
tinued anxiety for the safety of Amer

today, although administration Off
Gals expressed hope that the Zapata

affairs, however, that some officials
and diplomats believe no foreigners
life is safe.

out his announced intention to punish
persons guilty of killing John b. Nc

the Serbian army Nothing has been
heard of it in weeks. Official an
nouncements from Nish ceased some
time ago. Disease is rampant through
out Serbia, according to news dispatch

provisional capital, is said to be over
crowded with sick and dying.
The Turkish armies in Turkish Ar.
menia, along the Black sea, and in
northwestern Persia, are reported to
have met further defeats.
In Armenia and Russian are said
to have captured an entire Turkish

In Persia the Turks again have been

CESSION OF TRIESTE

LONDON. March 13.-Thc battle Of
Przasnysz, in the east, is now in it's
opening stages.
Operations arounr LaBassee, in the
west where the Germans are massing
troops in an endeavor to regain ground
recently lost is expected to develop
into events of military Importance du-
ring the coming week
In the meantime, the allies fleet
is continuing its efforts to force the
Dardanelles. The allies, however do
not claim that any more important
forts have been reduced. The bonn
bardment has been hampered by unfa-
vorable weather, but plans are going
forward for extensive land operations
France today is concentrating forces
in North Africa for that purpose.
Belated dispatches from CONSTANT
nople say that the allied fleet, up to
last Sunday, had not done any great
damage to the Turkish forts. The
fire of the ships is described as scat
tered and ineffective.

Matteawan in 1913, and subsequent
fights to regain his liberty have fur

to the already-famous case, was today
acquitted of the charge of criminal
conspiracy growing out of his escape
from Matteawan
He was returned 10 New York for
trial on this charge after his fight
had been taken to the higher courts
The jury also acquitted four men who
were indicted and sried jointly with
Thaw.
The appearance or attendants from
MatteaWan in the court Friday gave
rise to the report that Thaw would
be taken back to Matteawan r he was
acquitted. Thaw's attorney how
ever, have prepared a writ Of habeas
corpus for signature that | keep
Thaw within the jurisdiction of the
county. After retiring with tho case
the jury asked for instruction on
several questions. Attorneys argl-
ing for Thaw stressed the point that
the grand jury of the county in which
MatteaWan is located had not return
ed an indictment against Thaw.
Arguments as to whether Thaw will
be returned to Matteawan or returned
to New Hampshire, from where he was
brought, as a sane man, will be heard
