THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.

Fourteen of Terre Haute's leading
citizens" occupied a special car all
the way from their little Indiana city
to the door of the Leavenworth Fed
eral prison last week because these
men were not tried by "home talent,
but by government officials who were
not in the ring.
1t was not because these men vio-
lated the election laws of the state
and nation that they were sent to
Jail. Many election laws are violated
every year and nothing is done about
1t. But Terre Haute's mayor and
thirteen other prominent city and
county officials are doing the lock
step down to their meals at Leaven-
worth today because the United States
government stepped in and tried the
cases in Federal courts where the
gang had not obtained a hold.
II the case had been left to the
state of Indiana no telling how many
years these Indiana judges. who were
in the hands of the Terre Haute gang,
would have let the cases hang fire.
Perhaps all of the 116 cases in which
there were convictions would finally
have been dropped and the entire COM
pany of city offenders gone unpunish-
ed.
Undoubtedly the Terre Haute Incl
dent will be a warning to election
crooks all over the country. 1t should
also encourage some of the men who
have been fighting for honest cleo
tions. Let us hope the time is coming
soon when 1t will be so dangerous
to attempt election frauds that even
the most daring will fear to enter into
any such a combine as did the voters
and officials of Terre Haute.

Platoon of 100 Men captur.
Stronghold by Strategy.

Rome, June 14.-Italian artillery
yesterday bombarded the fortifca-
tions of Santa Maria, San Pietro, San
Marco, San Lucia and the other posi-
tions defending Corr, the capital OF
the crown land of Corr and Gradisca
% miles northwest of Triest and 10
miles east of the Italian frontier. The
railway lines running north and south
of the city have been interrupted and
the only communication remaining
between Corr and the rest of the Aus
trian Empire is by long and diff
cult mountain road along the CHA
povano valley.
Documents found on Austrian of
fcers taken prisoners indicate that
it was the plan of the Austrian Gene
raj Staff to prevent the Italians eros
sing the Isonzo River between Toll
mino and Corr. The capture of PLAYA
by Italian troops, however, upset the
Austrian plans for maintaining an
insurmountable barrier in that part
of the front through the cooperation
of the towns of Tolmino and Gradisca.
An official note, which sums up the
first offensive movement of the army,
follows:
an the Trentino zone our forces
went resolutely forward, correcting
at least in part strategical inconveni-
ences of unfavorable frontier such as
were imposed upon US after the cam
raisn of Of. 1856.
"Our brave mounted troops have
occupied defilcs and submits, the
names of which recall unforgettable
exploits by the brave combatants IN
Trentino half century ago. A pow
erful artillery crowns the SUBMITS
and pleateaus from where operations
more vast can be carried out later
Il is battering effectively forts of the
enemy considered up to the present
time almost impregnablee eand already
has: demolished some of them. :
an the upper; Cadore, rec0llec.
tions of Fortunate: .Calvi, are evoked
by the occupation of Costina and
other important points. Thus not
onlys are closed all routes for inva'
sion by the enemy, but gradually
there is being opened the way OF an
offensive action as soon as this Is
regarded opportune."

ANOTHER MANIFESTO
w. J. Bryan Expresses Satisfaction
With Relations Between the
United States and Germany

Washington, June IA Ex- Secre.
tary of State William Jennings Bryan
has issued another statement yester-
day afternoon:
81 am glad to note the change
in the tone of the press in regard
to the note to Germany. From the
time the papers began to publish
forecasts the jingo editors have been
predicting that the matter would
be dealt with great frmness'; that
Germany would be told that there
must be no more delay in the accep-
tance of this country's demands, etc
Instead of waiting until the note
was issued they took their own con-
ception in advance and colored it tc
suit their own purposes.
at is a relief to find the papers
are emphasizing the friendly tone oi
the note and pointing out that it doe:
not necessarily mean war. Something
has been gained if the warrior jour
nalist at last REALIZES that the countr.
does not want war, but that on tn.
contrary it will support the Presiden
in his efforts to find a peaceful so!u
ton of the difficult problem raise'
by the use of the submarine agains
merchantmen.

til the September term.
The grand jury made the follow

From the evidence before this
jury it would appear that numbers
of negroes, both male and female,
come to this city, apparently for i'm

the city of such characters by strict
enforcement of the vagrancy laws,
and such other methods as the au

WEIGHING EVIDENCE
Virginia Midshipman at Naval AcaI-
emy Merely Charged With Fail
ing to Report Use of Dope.

Richmond, June l4-Evidence be-
fore the court Of inquiry at the

napolis, Nd, is tending to exone-
rate Thomas w. Harrison, Jr, son of
Judge Thomas w. Harrison of Win
chester, one Of seven midshipmen re-
commended for dismissal for alleged
Cheating in their examinations.
According to this information, Mid
Shipman Harrison was never charged
with Cheating" in examinations. As
a matter of fact, it is asserted, there
was nothing questionable about any
of the examinations held in his Sec
ton, but he was alleged to have had
knowledge that other midshipmen had
received advance copies of questions
to be used in examinations He did
not report these facts to the authori
ties. and his failure to do so, it is
asserted, is the basis for the accusa
ton against him.
Bearing out the statements of Har-
rison's friends in Richmond is the
statement by Midshipmen Broadfoot,
president of the Virginian's class at
Annapolis, who testified before the in
quiry Saturday that he and his class
mates considered that Harrison and
l.. P. VESSEL. another nidshipman
recommended for dismissal were hon
est and that their honesty had never
been questioned Broadfoot indicated
that these two midShipmen IN particu-
lar had rot been fairly treated IL
the previous inquiry.

ily have offered their service to
Judge Harrison in his efforts to vim
dicate his sons reputation. K. r.
