One of Two Remaining Lines of
Retreat Cut.
LAST LINE NOW THREATENED
Experts Believe II Won Mackensen's
Blow Properly Timed Russia, to
All Intents, wiz Be Eliminated
From the War.

London, Aug. with the Russians
straining every effort to withdraw
their armies and guns from Warsaw,
the Austro-Gernan armies of Field
Marshal Won Mackensen have cut one
Of their two remaining lines of retreat.
He has broken the Russian front be-
tween the ViepTz and Vistula rivers
and is astride the LubHn-Cholm rail
way in the region Of Piaski, half way
between the two cities.
Meanwhile General Won Buelow IN
the North is believed to be almost
upon the vital Warsaw-Petrograd rail
way, the last remaining line of re-
treat for the Russians. He is in com
mand of huge cavalry forces and is
able to move rapidly.
In view of developments of the last
few days there is no longer any doubt
in military circles here that the Rus
sian retirement is well under way, al
though it may be several weeks before
the conquerors enter the Polish CAPT
tai
The question now for the Grand
Duke Nicholas to solve is how to save
his armies. Even with two railroads
at his command he faces serious
problem. Now he has but one railway
and it is seriously threatened.
Military experts believe it probable
that Won Mackensen timed his blow
in the South to coincide with move
by Won Buelow. If this last line can
be cut the Russians will be practically
trapped between the tentacles of the
Teuton armies advancing from north
and south and Russia, to all intents
and purposes, would be eliminated
from the war.
The offensive which carried Won
Mackensen to his goal, the Lublin-
Cholm railway at which he has been
hammering for weeks, was COM
menced early Thursday morning. The
Germans had been heavily REINFORCED
by both men and artillery, it is re-
ported, and great stores of shells had
been brought up. So fierce was the
bombardment directed against the
Russian positions that whole lines of
trenches and field Notifications were
blotted out. The attack was concen-
trated on the front west Of Vieprz
river in the region of Piash.
The Russian line wavered and
broke. The Germans driving through
pressed their advance to the railway
which they are now astride, block
ing the retreat of large Russian
forces from the Warsaw district.
The Russian front in the entire dis
trict between the Vistula and the
Bug, the Germans say, is now "wav-
ering" and the SIavs are maintaining
their ground only in the vicinity of
Groubieszow.
simultaneously with this success in
the South the German army of Gen
eral Won Woyrsch effected passages
of the Vistula at several points south
Of Warsaw between the mouth of the
Pilica and Kozienice.

EVACUATION OF
WARSAW HAS BEGUN
According to Dispatches From Petro-
grad, Russians Prepare to Leave
the Polish Capital.

London, July 31.-The speedy evac-
uation of Warsaw and all of Poland
by the Russians is indicated in dis
patches received Thursday from Pc
trograd. Although the Russians are
checking the Austro-German attacks
along the whole front, Russian war OBJ
servers, after conversations with
competent military authorities" "
seemingly are preparing the Russian
people for a new retreat.
The Rech says the Russians will re-
tire eastward to the defensive posi-
tons along the line of the fortresses
of Kovno, Grodno and Brest Litovsk.
These points lie just outside the Pol
ish border on the east. Such a move,
If carried out, would give the Germans
and Austrians full possession Of the
$4,000 square miles of Poland and it's
population of over 100000.
The Petrograd correspondent of the
Daily Mail sent the following dis
patch:
"A momentous decision was taken
by the Russian general staff. The Ger
man turning movement against the
Blonie line, south and southwest Of
Warsaw, has succeeded SO far that it
was judged wiser to carry out drastic
regrouping of the Russian forces.
This may carry with it the evacua-
ton of Warsaw, but the effect of that
has long since been discounted by the
Russian people and it must not cause
any undue depression or anxiety
among the allied nations. Voluntary
withdrawal is far better than defeat.
The territory evacuated can be re-
taken; an army annihilated cannot be
renewed. The result will not be af-
fected by what in military sense is a
local incident so long as the Russian
army remains in the field.

CHARLES BECKER
IS ELECTROCUTED
Dies in the Electric Chair in
Sing Sing Penitentiary.
PARDON DENIED BY WHITMAN
Former New York Police Lieutenant
Is the Fifth Man to Pay the
Penalty for the Muir
der Plot.

Ossining, N. z, July 31-Charles
Becker, former police lieutenant in
New York, went to his death IN the
electric chair in Sing Sing peniten-
tiary shortly before six o'clock Fri
day morning.
His was the fifth life which the
state demanded for the conspiracy
which resulted in the murder Of Her
man Rosenthal, the gambler, who was
shot down il front Of the Metropole
hotel in New York on July Is, 1912.
Becker had been convicted of hir-
ing band Of thugs to do away with
RosenthaI TO prevent the exposure Of
police graft in New York city's Ten
derIoin.
The four gunner who were convict
ed Of the actual shooting-'Dago
Frank" Lefty" Louis, Whitley
Lewis, and "Gyp the Blood''-were ex-
ecuted April 10, 1914
Becker's execution was carried out
only after every legal effort had been
extended to save him. He was CON
yicted in the l1rst trial ending on Oc-
tober "a, 1912, and was sentenced to
death, but later was granted a new
trial which, however, resulted in a sec
Ond conviction on May %, 1914, and
the passage of the second death SEN
tence.
Then followed a long series of ap-
peals and delays, and on Wednesday
Supreme Justice Ford refused a third
trial on the ground that new evidence
offered, consisting mainly of af1davits
from convicts that they heard others
framing the case of Becker, was not
sufficient to warrant a reopening of
the case,
There remained only the hope that
Governor Whitman would extend ex-
ecutive clemency and grant a re-
prieve OF commute the sentence.
A final appeal to Governor Whitman
who as district attorney prosecuted
Becker on both his trials-to spare
BeckeTs life was made by Mrs. Beck
er last evening when she met the
governor at Poughkeepsie. When the
governor told Mrs. Becker as gently
as possible that he could not inter
fere, the condemned mans last hope
of escaping death was dissolved.
Prior to seeing Mrs. Becker the
governor conferred for more than an
hour with Becker's attorney, who ap-
pealed for a reprieve in order that
the case might be taken to the court of
appeals and also asked the governor
to permit former Justice Edgar NJ. Cul-
len and Charles andrews to pass on
the appeal for a Communication or re-
prieve as specially appointed commits
siOners.
The executive declined both re-
quests. When asked to grant a re-
prieve that new evidence might be
submitted, the governor said there
was none.

WAR CUTS U. S. IMPORT TRADE.

Exports From Germany Fall From
S14oo0,Oo to 100000.
Washington, July 30.-The effect of
the war on the trade of this country
with Germany is clearly shown in
statement of the declared value of
exports to the United States through
the ports of Hamburg, Kiel and Lue-
beck during the first six months of
this year, made public by the depart
ment of commerce. During the first
six months of 1914 these ports sent to
the United States goods valued at
$14,9945S5. This year, in the same
period, the shipments amounted to
S1.15S,257 Hamburg, which handled
the bulk of the trade, fell of from
more than $1S,0OO,0OO in American ex-
ports to a little more than $4,000

Appropriations Are Cut.

The assembly cut the appropriation
carried in the finance committee bill
for the support of the state charitable
and penal institutions for the next two
years by s39S,479 and then passed the
bill.
The total appropriation carried by
the bill as it passed the assembly is
S2,273,1 29. This is the exact sum spent
by the state on these institutions dur
ing the last two years. The vote by
which the cut was made was So to 81,
and that by which the bill was passed
was 50 to %.
Former Gov. James 0. Davidson,
president Of the state board of con-
troll, and NJ. J. Tappins, secretary of
the board, appeared before the assem-
bly, in committee of the whole and
said the cut was entirely acceptable to
the board and that none of the charit-
able and penal institutions concerned
or any of their inmates would in any
respect suffer from the cut. They said
the board Of control had fully con-
sidered the cut and had assented to it.
The cut was proposed in an amend
ment offered by Speaker Whittet
when the appropriation bill was taken
up for consideration Whittet said
the amendment had been drawn after
he had carefully gone over the appro-
priation bill with members of the
board of control. The cut first car
ried by the amendment was s374,479,
but when it came up for adoption it
was by the suggestion of the board
of control increased to S398,479. OPP
position to the amendment resulted in
a decision to consider it in committee
Of the whole during the afternoon.
President Davidson and Secretary Tap
pins appeared before the committee
Of the whole and explained the effect
of the proposed cut, and at their sug-
gestion the cut was increased to $685.
479. After long discussion the COM
mittee of the whole rose and reported.
The amendment was then adopted ard
the bill as amended passed.
Antiadministration members op-
posed the adoption of the cut because
it was inspired by the governor. They
charged that the cut was proposed for
political purposes, but the charge fell
fiat after representatives of the board
Of control said the cut would be en-
tirely acceptable to the board.
The members asked the representa-
tiyes of the board of control many
questions during the hearing and were
fully and frankly answered. The re-
plies completely satisfied all the mem
bers except those who thought there
might be some politics in the move of
the administration for strict economy
in the management of state affairs.
President Davidson said the policy Of
the state in paying prisoners in the
state prison $4,000 for labor could
well be abolished as it, in his opin-
ion, placed a premium on crime.
Think of the state paying a con-
Wet SIS a month, with food, clothes
and lodging after placing him in
prison for an offense committed
against its laws" said the former gov
ernor. He said that the custom should
be discontinued, but it should be done
so gradually so as not to bring on
a riot in the prison.
The following table shows the ap-
preparation for 1915-1917 as reduced
by the Whittet amendment:

500 EASTLAND
VICTIMS BURIED
Funerals Block Streets in the Stricken
District in Chicago-Trucks
Used as Hearses.

Chicago, July 30.-Five hundred of
Wednesday.
They went to the Gem eteries on all
the city's streets-long lines of car
riages and utomobiles-hearses and
trucks that were used for hearses.
They, were so thick on the roads to
the burying grounds that one process
sion frequently had to wait until an
other went by. Undertakes were IN
able to get as many hearses as they
needed. 1t was no uncommon sight to
see five boxes on a motor truck
dra ped in black and purple and white
big boxes and medium and small
ones.
The burying took all morning and all
afternoon. Many bodies were placed
in vaults-for there were not men
enough to dig graves for them.
The city Weakened early at the toll
ing of bells. 1t was raining, and dark,
and cool. The undertakers arrived,
the carriages or automobiles pulled
up before the doors of the mourners,
and soon the professions were under
way to the churches, and then out to
Mount Carmel, Mount Olivet, Calvary,
Bohemian National, st. AdeIbert and
Forest Home cemeteries.
Community services were held in
the Church of Mary Queen of Heaven,
Fffty-third avenue and West Twenty
fourth street, where 80 collins were
laid out in the form Of a cross.
The crowd stood outside, heads
barred to the rain. The wet came in
through the chinks in the uncompleted
roof; the singing of the choir girls and
the chanting Of the priests came out
to the crowd in undiminished volume.
Bishop Paul P. Rhode preached in
Polish, and his eyes were wet at times
and his hands shook with emotion.
