ASSASS|NS Of
BANKER OLIVER
FINALLY ESCAPE
GRAND JURY OF LEE UNABLE TO
FIX THE CRIME.

The grand jury investigation into
the assassination of A D. Oliver, the
Get-Rich-Quick Leesburg Wallingford,
was concluded today and without re-
suits, SO far as fixing the foul crime
upon the perpetrator goes. Judge 2.
A. Littlejohn strongly charged the Lee
grand jury to the end of sitting out
the mystery and the investigation,
which has just been concluded, lasted
nearly two days.
More than thirty witnesses were
examined yesterday and the day pre-
ceding, but no indictments in the SEN
sational case were found.
The fact that many persons did not
think Oliver was a good citizen, and
perhaps do not regret his taking off.
did not make those whose duty it is to
clear up the mystery of his death and
to bring his slayers into court for trial
any less eager to do their duty.
For such crimes to be permitted to
drop quietly into the past is to en-
courage a very dangerous sort of law
nessness; it is to lessen the value of
human life which already is too cheap.
Nobody should get into his head the
idea that he has right to try to make
the world better place by putting
load of shot into somebody he thinks
undesirable
The world is not to be made better
in that way.

COTTON BALES
TUMBLING WHILE
SCRAPPERS SCRAP

Americus warehousemen are wond-
ering just when the present cottonic
avalanche is going to cease and tran
guilty again be restored in the realfs
of the fleecy monarch. The market
took a high dive yesterday afternoon
and tumbled thirty or forty points,
probably the result of threatened hos
tilities between the Chinks and the
Japs, both of whom are large purchas-
ers of cotton. Within the past ten
Gays the futures market has gone off
nearly cent pound, which has the
effect of decreased demand for spot
cotton here. Buyers are chary about
taking hold again while the market is
in such an unsettled state, and there is
little doing about Americus ware
houses.

JOHN BULL WILL

Of COTTON FROM

LONDON, May 6.-Foreign secre-
tary Grey today told the house of
commons that Great Britain had re-
quested the government of Egypt to
prohibit the export of cotton to all
except France, Russian, Spanish and
Portuguese ports. This step was taken
to cut off the supply of Egyptian cot
ton from German and Austrian mills.

will be so strengthened as to practi-
cally stop all importation of cotton
into that county.

GERMANS MAKE GAINS
AGAINST RUSSIAN ARMY
Conditions at DardaneIleS Not FavOra-
BILE to Allies-Asiatic Coast Has Been
Freed of Allied Troops, Says Turkish
Statement,
(By Associated Press

LONDON, Mag 6.-For the first time
since the British troops forced the
Germans from Hill Sixty, near Ypres,
Emperor Williams soldiers have been
partially successful in their counter at
tacks there, and in the absence of ad-
vices to the contrary, it is presumed
here the Germans continue to hold the
positions obtained on the hill. The
German advantage at Hill Sixty, it is
asserted, was gained through the use
of asphyxiating gases, which the Brit
ish troops found it impossible to sue
cessfully combat. Favorable winds
materially assisted the Germans in the
throwing of the gases into the British
entrenched positions.
Massing Troops For Dash to Calais
Nearly all of today's special news
dispatches from Flanders and points
along the British front in Belgium, as
sert the Germans are massing huge
bodies of new troops in that vicinity
presumably in anticipation of a renew
ed dash toward Calais and the English
Channel coast, British and Belgian
troops resisting the German advance
are pictured in early dispatches from
the continent as "re-adjusting their
lines" this phrase being interpreted to
mean that definite retirements are III
progress at various points.
Turkish Official Statement.
Todays official Turkish statement
contains conflicting reports regarding
reported advances h allied troops in
the campaign against the Dardanelles.
This report asserts that British colon
ial troops landed on the Gallipoli pen
insula are in precarious position, be-
ing encircled by Turkish regulars, and
enabled to remain on Turkish terri
tory only through the assistance given
by the powerful guns of the Anglo
French fleet in the Gulf of Saros.
Athens reports regarding the occu-
patton of the town of Gallipoli and Ma
CARA at the head of the Narrows, by
allied landing forces, are denied in the
Turkish bulletin, which says the en-
tire Galipoli peninsula remains under
Turkish control, and that small land
ing parties put ashore under protec-
tion of the feet have been unable to
make progress inland. The Asiatic
coast, says Constantinople dispatches.
has been entirely freed of allied
troops.
German Galician Victory Increasing.
British obcervers who have siftel
the conflicting statements regarding
the Russian reverse in Western Galicia
today state the German victory in that
region has not been over-stated, the
sudden Austro-German movement be-
ing described as master stroke OF
military strategy. 1t is now admitted
the attack on the Russian front was
az numerous points, the
Teutons being partially successful all
along the line.
Reports of this recent Russian
disaster, at first discounted in British
official circles, continue to beadmitted
from Petrograd, and Berlin's claim
are being rapidly sumstantiated by la
ter advices from the front.

IS STILL TRYING
 TO RECOVER BOND
Peter SauskcIonis Forfeited $30 Bond Five Years Ago and Now wants
 It Back.

Arguments in the case of Peter Sauskelonis against the city and Ser geant Theodore NJ. Herting of the police department were made in the supreme court yesterday, Lawyer Charles H. Mitchell appearing for the plaintiff and Judge James E. Cooper representing the city.
 Five years ago next month Peter sauskelonis was arrested for a min or offense and he save a bond of $50 for his appearance in court the next day. Sergeant Herting took the bond. When court convened on the follow ing morning Sauskelonis did not ap- pear and the judge declared his bond forfeited. Later the accused hustled around to headquarters and asked that the forfeiture be erased and the case re-opened. His motion was de- nied.
 He then brought suit, alleging that as proper return had not been made on the warrant against him the city could not legally hold his bond. on June Il. 1912 the local court allowed the officers who had arrested Sauske- lonis to make a proper return on the warrant Subsequently the suit was tried before Judge Edward lI Smith in the court of common pleas and he
