Having captured PrzemysI, the

approached from the north and south,
so that the only communication with
Libau now is by sea.
Few details are available of the de-
velopment of the Italian campaign.
A statement from General Cadorna,

.K|ESS MAY DECLINE
COMM|SS|ONERSH|P
Friends Pleas and Business In
terests Figure in Decision,
1t Is Reported

Congressman Edgar r. Kiess, of
Lycoming county. will probably not
accept the appointment as Public Serv-
ice Commissioner rendered to him by
Governor Brumbaugh last month. 1t
is likely that he will choose to remain
in Congress as the representative of
the Fifteenth district, where he was
elected last Fal! by a flattering ma
jority in the face of big fight against
him by Bull Moosers, who brought
in Colonel Roosevelt to speak.
Conditions in his district and the
pleas of friends to remain in Congress
are said to have weighed heavily with
the congressman and he came here
last night with several friends and
had an extended talk with Governor
Brumbaugh at the Executive Mansion.
He will announce his decision in the
matter within the next forty-eight
hours He has not resigned from
Congress and has not taken the oath
as commissioner.
Mr.. Kiess was confirmed along with
the other commissioners on May 20
and came here the following week to
meet the Governor and familiarize
: himself with the work of the commits
sion. Almost Immediately he was be-
set by friends in his home district
who pointed out that he was the only
man who could command the united
support of the Republicans of the dis
trict for Congress and that if he with
drew there would be battle royal for
the nomination which might endanger
the election of a Republican. Repre-
sentative George w. Williams and
ex-Representative William Champaign
of Tioga, and Charles r. Wolfe. of
Lycoming, were put forward by their
friends, with a prospect of others. 1t
is also said to have been pointed out
to Mr.. Kiess that his appointment to
major office In the State government
would initiate against other appoint
ments being placed in the district in
the distribution which is to take place
soon.
Further it is intlmated that Mr..
Kiess could not only be reelected
when he wanted. but that his business
is extensive and requires much atten-
ton in summer 1t is not improbable
that Mr.. Kiess feels that in the future
he may be candidate for some high
State Office. as he has been frequently
mentioned.

S. P. c. A. Wants Sand

In letter to-day to City Commits
sioner w. Fl Lynch the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals asks
the city authorities to sprinkle coat
ing of fine sand over Market, Third,
Second and Fourth streets and Market
Square to prevent horses slipping. es-
pecially in wet weather. The plan of
scattering sand on the Mulberry street
bridge approaches has been tried out
with success.
Whether or not the request can be
complied With is doubtful, Commissioner
Lynch said to-day. inasmuch as the
blowing OF the sand when winds arise
would not only be Objectionable to
people. but the hoped-for relief might
not work out satisfactorily. Firms
and others who drive horses can read
ily remedy this difficulty themselves, :"
said Commissioner Lynch, "by seeing
that their horses are properly rough
shod."
