Seattle, Wash, July 19.-Surprise
and regret at the attempt on the life
of Leo M. Frank by fellow convict
at the prison farm at Milledgeville,
Ca, was expressed here last night BY
Former Governor John M. SIaton Of
Georgia.
II do not believe that the attack on
Frank could be traced to any outside
influence working for Franks de-
struction," he said. II believe that
the criminal mind, aroused perhaps ny
newspaper reports, was responsible.
Frank was put in the safest place for
him in the state"
He said he had no reason to regret
committing Franks death sentence to
life Imprisonment. 'I would do 1t
again tomorrow II confronted with tho
same possibility Of mistake in the evil
dence by which he was convicted"
declared Mr.. Slaton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Slaton will remain
here few days and then go to San
Francisco.

GERMANS RUN OFF
GREAT DERBY RACE
WORLD WAR IN WHICH COUNTRY
Is ENGAGING DOES NOT
STOP SPORTS EVENT.

Hamburg, July 19.-The Deutsches
derby, the biggest sporting event of
the year in Germany, was won Sunday
by Haniel's Pontresina, with Jockey
Pluerchke up. The prize for the win
ner was sS1,250.
The race was run on muddy track
which put the favorites out of the
commission at the start. Archibald,
an American jockey, riding Roi Soleil,
finished bad eleventh, although heav-
lily backed to win.
In spite Of the war and its handi-
caps the derby had more starters-20
than in any year since 1902. All
previous speculation about the out
come was thrown into the discard
when the day opened with a heavy
rain which continued almost until the
horses were sent to the post. The
victory for Heinls stable was enhanc-
ed by the capture Of second place by
his Vanguard, ridden by Jockey Janek.
Both Pontresina and Vanguard got
away to a poor start but easily over
took the field and won in the mud with
out difficulty.

MYSTERY OF Ak
MURDERS SOLVED
MAN ARRESTED IN BUFFALO AD-
MiTs CRIMES; OTHERS ARE
LAID AT HIS DOOR.

Chicago, July 19.-Police of a num-
Der of cities today went into records
OF mysterious ak murders, while two
Chicago detectives and Mayor Jones
Of Blue Island, ILL.,, left for Buffalo to
bring back Casimir Areizewski, who is
said to have confessed to the murder
OF Jacob Mislich, his wife, his daughter,
Mrs. Mary Mansfield, and her baby,
Mary Mansfield, in Blue Island ILL.,,
July 5. 1914. Areiszewski was a boarder
at the Mislich home and he told the
Buffalo police that he waited until the
family was asleep and then killed his
victims with an ak.
The similarity Of the series of ak
murders, which began four years ago
IN Colorado Springs, stretched across
the country to Ellsworth, Kas., to Mon
mouth, ILL.,. then to Villisca, a., and
east to Boston, led the police to be-
lieve that perhaps one man was re-
sponsible for all the crimes. The muir
der Of the four persons in Blue Island.
ILL.,, In 1914, brought the total number
OF victims to thirty-one.
All the murders were committed by
man who used an ak and the crimes
were all the work of man who virtu-
ally left no clew behind. In each IN.
stance he waited until the persons
were asleep. All the crimes were COM
mitted on a Sunday night.

to which Areizewski will be questioned
when he is returned to Chicago fol

Mrs. A. j. Burnham and two children,

SUPPOSED HERO IS
CONFESSED FAKER

Reading, Pa, July 1e.-Harry F,
Westbrook, who last week went to a
Pennsylvania railroad tower near AL
toona, Pa, with piece of pipe con-
tanning twenty sticks Of dynamite and
said he had found the explosive on
the tracks, was arrested here last
night, and today, according to the po-
lice, he confessed he had invented the
scheme in the hope Of getting re-
ward.
Westbrook, in his confession, accord
ing to the police, said he had conceived
the idea after reading of the exploits
of Frank Holt He made the bomb at
his home here, the police said. It
contained enough dynamite to destroy
city block. Last Thursday night,
Westbrook said, according to the po-
lice, he went to point near Altoona,
placed the bomb on the track, later re-
moved it and told the officials Of the
railroad he had found it.

Russians Are Hard Pressed
Along the Whole Line
From Baltic South
ADVANCE GREATEST
WORLD EVER SAW
Cars Army May Be Forced
to Evacuate Warsaw to
Avert Big Defeat

London, July 10. Attention is now
centered on the gigantic operations in
the eastern field of war where fighting
is in full swing in nearly every section
of the Russian line from the Baltic to
the Dniester.
General Won Buelow, who was on the
left of General Won Kluck in the first
invasion of France, now commands the
extreme left of the German advance
toward Riga, which is being conducted
by cavalry on scale exceeding any.
thing heretofore during the war. Ber.
lin claims steady advance and Petro.
grad comedies an advance after the
Russian forces had made stubborn
contest.
On Won Buelow's right is General
Won Eichhorn, who is being held up by
the great Russian fortress. Ossowetz.
On Won Eichhorn's right is General Won
Gallwitz, whose name appears for the
first time in large operations. After
capturing Przasnysz, he is now press
ing a German attack on the Narew
river and it's tributaries.
On the famous Rawka and Bzura
lines there Is comparative quiet, which
is also reflected on the south side OF
Warsaw, but southeast the movement
against Lublin, which was temporarily
checked, is again in full swing.
The Russians must fight q defensive
battle for the possession of Warsaw, or
abandon all of Poland. The Germans
are considered undoubtedly to prefer
the first issue, hence the Russians, in
the opinion of many military observers
are likely to attempt complete with
drawal with their armies intact. These
tremendous activities by the Germans
in the east suggest that they have lit
tie reserve left to devote to the wes-
tern campaign, which offers the en-
tente allies respite, either for the
completion of munition supplies, or a
concerted attempt to recapture Lille.
Another view holds that the best SER
vice her allies could give Russia at this
time would be the forcing Of the Oar.
danelles. It Is possible that the allies
may combine both suggested attempts,
but it is unquestionable that for the
time being the center OF gravity in the
war has shifted to eastern Europe.
The western front continues quiet
without sign Of any new development.
The Italians report some progress in
the mountains east of Trentino. where
the invaders are now striking towards
one of the two railroads serving
Austria's Trentino forces.

agent in Mexico, against continued
destruction Of foreign owned property.
General Carranza stationed a guard
at the large American owned sugar
plantation at Protero. Zapata troops
went to the plantation and hanged the
CarranZa men to tree.
Although Mexico City has been cut
of from direct communication with
Puebla for three weeks. couriers with
newspaper dispatches have been ar
irving here internationally. Sometimes
the messages are seized by soldiers
and destroyed, as both sides seem u1l-
willing that news of conditions in
Mexico City become public.
Every city along the railroad has
been isolated from the territory back
from the line. The interruption Of
the receipts of food supplies, together
with the added burden of supporting
the invading troops, has caused in
creased suffering among the civilians.
Reports from the state Of Oaxaca,
which early in June declared it's inde-

Wilson and Lansing Agree
That Time Is Ripe for
Asserting Rights
NEW NOTE WILL BE
DISPATCHED AT ONCE
Officials Express Belief 1t
Will Be on It's Way to
Berlin By Saturday

Washington, d. c., July 19.-Presi'
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing to,
day discussed in detail draft of the
note to be sent to Germany this week
informing the imperial government
what the United States will do II there
Is further violation Of American
rights on the high seas.
The return of President Wilson from
Cornish, N. H., gave Secretary Lansing
his first opportunity to confer on the
policy to be followed as the result of
Germany's failure to satisfy the Amer
ican demands made in the note Of
June 8.
1t was understood that the presi-
dent and Mr.. Lansing found that they
had reached about the same conclus-
ion-that the next communication to
Germany will be of definite charac-
ter, making it unmistakably clear that
the United States cannot be expected
to remain passive in the event of an
other attack on an unarmed unresist-
ing ship with loss of Americans.
The note, it is now practically
agreed, will announce to Germany the
intention Of the United States to as
sert it's rights on the high seas in ac-
cordance with international law. There
probably will be little or no discus
sion on the principles already treated
at length in previous notes.
Prompt action in dispatching the
note was generally forecast. Tomor-
row it will be submitted by the presi-
dent to the cabinet and possibly may
be revised again at Fridays meeting.
In official quarters it was agreed the
communication will be on its way to
Berlin by Saturday
Although 1t is not certain whether
reference will be made to the attack on
the Cunard liner Orduna, 1t is known
that the incident has swept aside
previous suggestions that the next
communication would take into con-
sideration that German submarine
commanders in actual practice were
conforming to the rules of information
al law. Irrespective Of the details OF
the Orduna attack, the fact that YES
sci carrying Americans bound to the
United States and transporting no
contraband was attacked without
