INVESTMENT OF LEMBURG.
Russians Preparing to Evacuate City
 Held for Months.

London, June 9.-The investment of Lemburg is nearing completion, according to dispatches from Vienna and Berlin tonight, and the Russians are reported to be preparing to evacuate the city.
 Terrific fighting, in which huge numbers are engaged, continues along the entipe Galician front, with the Teutonic allies everywhere suc- cessful, despite violent Russian counter attacks.
 The Austro-German right wing has stormed and captured Stanislaw, the most important railroad center in southeastern Galicia, and has cut the communications of the Russian forces operating north of Bukowina with those around Lemburg.
 Stanislaw has been in the posses sion of the Russians, with the ex- ception of few days, since last Mo- vember. It's fall is believed in Ber- lin to mark the collapse of the entire Russian campaign in southeast Cali cia.
 Cooperating with the Austro- Ger enan forces along the Dneister, a heavy force operating from north of Czernowitz yesterday advanced to the north of Kolomea and pressing forward to Stanislaw took the town by storm. This force. according to an official statement issued in Vien- ma tonight, is now driving forward toward Malicz. More than 800 pris- oners have been taken in the fight ing thus far.
 Slavs Fall Back to River.
 The capture of Stanislaw is taken here to indicate that the Austro- German offensive against the Rus sian left has been successful, and that the Russians have been com pelled to fall back upon their de- lenses on the Dneister river. These are of considerable natural strength and have been developed to thir ut- most by the Slavs.
 Regarding this fighting, however unofficial dispatches from Vienna state that the Austro-German armies have advanced for several miles beyond the river and are now east oi Micoll Uhlans, it is stated. have partoled to within 12 miles of Lem. burg itself.

Washington, June 9.-White house and state department officials are awaiting with anxiety the reply of General Villa to the presidents plan for peace for Mexico Semi-official- ly, the department is advised that General Villa might telegraph his answer tonight.

 "Mr. Bryans resignation from President Wilson's cabinet appears to foreshadow a more decided American policy-not necessarily intervention or war.

OFFICER ALLEN Is FINE FRIEND
OF BOYS-NOT!

A boy with the face that the kid
wears on Christmas morning was in
the boys court yesterday. He car
ried a box given him by tailor con-
tanning his first pair of long trousers
and he wore coat of the latest cut
and his shoes were brand new. But
behind the Christmas joy on the face
of the lad lies a story that almost
was tragedy.
Charles Banks is almost Is, but he

champion of the world. That's long
er than any other man ever held a
title in any other line The nearest
to that record is Frank Kramer, BIZ
cycle champion, Is years.
De Orc was born in Cuba. He came
to the United States when 10 to go
to school When he returned to
Cuba on a vacation trip he and his
brother started for church one Sun
day morning, but stopped at a pool
hall. De Oro's brother taught him to
handle the cue and he has been at it
ever since.
At the time of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war, De Orc was quite wealthy.
He lost nearly all his money and
went to playing pool to earn living
for himself and family.
The Cuban took part in a profess
sionaI pool tourney for the first time
in 1887. He won the title in 1889.
In 1890 he was beaten by Al Powers,
but won back the title and was I'M
beaten in Is years. Benny Allen of
Kansas City, much younger player,
took the title from him.
De Orc did not break into three
cushion billiards until 1904. Four
years later he won the championship.
Since then he has won it and lost it
several times.
In his match with Kieckhefer he
will play with two favorite cues. He
has used one of them 81 years, the

Charles landed in the boys court,
after spending the usual length of
time in filthy police cells. Both times
Charles, charged with disorderly con-
duct, was discharged for lack of evil
dence.
Monday, Nov. 1, he was arrested
by Officer Allen of the Woodlawn sta
ton. Allen charged disorderly con-
duct and the law requires that The
officer making the arrest must wit
ness the disorderly conduct or must
have a warrant if he didn't witness
it. Allen had no warrant and no evil
dence and Charles was discharged by
Judge Trude on Teusday, after he
had spent night in a cell.
Wednesday, Nov. 3, Charles was in
a candy store talking to boy friend
when Officer Allen, walking with Of
ficer Mcclure, spied him and Mcclure
sent a boy into the store to call
Charles out, whereupon, again with
out a warrant, Allen rearrested the
lad and charged him with disorderly
conduct. He was in a filthy cell all
night and again on Thursday morn
ing he was hailed into court and Allen
had no evidence against him.
Judge Trude became suspicious
and asked Miss Sara Blumenthal of
the Jewish Aid Society to make an
investigation and continued the case
until Nov. 10. Miss Blumenthal found
the lad bore splendid reputation,
but when the case came up on Nov.

When they were about six miles this

the snake was apparently uninjured,
But Mr. kirkpatrick was determined
to make good. 80 they stopped the car
