CHARTER BOARD TO
GET TOGETHER FOR
BUSINESS SESSION
WHAT GIVES PROMISE OF BEING
AN IMPORTANT MEETING WILL
BE HELD AT 4 O'CLOCK THIS
AFTERNOON.

Converting for what gives promise
of an important session, the new city
charter board will assemble at 4
o'clock this afternoon at the city hall.
The board, which was organized at
the first meeting by the election of
P. K. Yonge as chairman, is expected
to discuss plans relative to govern
ment changes at today-s session, and
the meeting has excited a lot of real
interest in all quarters.
Copies of the charter under which
the city is now operating, during the
week, have been procured and fur
nished to each. member of the board,
and all will probably be in position
this afternoon to consider intell;gently
any proposition advanced, relative to
the present city charter. The report
was current in the city hall yesterday
that some departments of the city
government had been the subjects of
inquiry by members of the board, but
this could not be verified, nor what
departments about which inquiries
had been made could be learned.
City Clerk c. w. Eggart is also
clerk to the charter board, and he will
present the minutes of the organiza-
ton meeting this afternoon, as well
as report the proceedings of today's
session.

Chief Postofice Inspector Barry of
the Atlanta district, sends out a
warning to all police and sheriffs, and
asks them to look out for and detain
man which the letter names and
describes as party suspected of
stealing a lot of untitled money order
paper, which may be passed
According to the postof1ce inspec-
tors letter, the stolen orders are num-
bered from 37,625 to $1,000, inclu-
sive, and were said to have been
stolen in May from sub-postoffice
of the central Chicago Office.
Should the suspect be found instruc-
tions are sent police and other officers
to arrest and detain, and then notify
Inspector Barry in a collect" tele-
gram. Of course, Uncle Sam always
rewards any officer who arrests and
proves identity of a postoffice thief.

FINE FOR SPEEDING
FOUR MONTHS AGO
ORLO GRUBBS, A WELL KNOWN
TAXI DRIVER, PAID FOR AL
LEGGED RECKLESSNESS ON
STREETS IN FEBRUARY.

One of the last cases disposed of
by the retiring recorder, Judge A. E.
Zelius, yesterday, was that docketed
against Orlo Grubbs, a widely known
taxi driver, who was charged with
speeding, reckless driving an auto
mobile and injuring city property. He
was fined 50 and costs.
Grubbs was convicted of an offense
he committed last February. His in
juring of city property consisted of
driving his taxi from Wright street
to Garden street through the grass
plot for the entire distance, it was
claimed. The alleged wild drive was
done at night, but the police were
unable until yesterday to serve the
warrant and have the defendant ap-
pear in the recorders court.

SAND ON PAVEMENT
CAUSES AUTO CRASH
MACHINES COME TOGETHER AT
INTERSECTION OF NINTH AVE
NUE. AND GADSDEN STREET
LATE IN AFTERNOON.

Sand on the pavement, following
the heavy rains of the past few days
is said to have been responsible for
an automobile collision at the inter
section of Ninth avenue and Gadsden
street last evening. One car was
driven by D. ]. Hayes, and the other
by Mrs. Caro-, but no one was hurt,
and as the accident was unavoidable,
so far as the drivers were concerned,
there were no arrests. Neither car
sustained any great amount of dam
ages.
Street Foreman James O'Brien had
a number of men on the streets yes
terday when it was thought that all
rains had held up for the present in
an effort to clear away the large de-
posits of sand carried by overlooked
cross streets to pavement. Quite a
number of wagon loads were thus re-
moved, but the work was not com
pleted up to o'clock yesterday after
noon, and several drays will be sent
out to finish the work today.

London, Eng, June 15.-The terrific
impact of 100000 men backed by the
heaviest artillery bombardment yet seen
on the eastern 'front.'
Such is the great drive by which Rus
STA hopes to push the invaders out of the
czar's southwestern territory and again
capture Lemberg and other Austrian
strongholds taken and lost during the
earlier months of the war.
If this huge battering ram of men
and cannon does not go down in history
as the greatest offensive of the war. it
will certainly find place among the
most important movements of the entire
struggle.
The new Russian offensive was almost
five days old before the outside world
began to see its meaning.
Along the whole southern half of the
cars firing line, from the Pripet lakes
to Rumania, the Russians pressed the
weight of their overwhelming numbers
against the Teutons' lines
1t was the capture of Lutsk, one of
the triangle of important forts in Vol
hynia held by the invading Austrians,
that awakened the rest of the world to
the fact that the Russian bear had gone
on a savage rampage.

BARK ELSE RIGHTED
WITHOUT TROUBLE
EARLY IN MORNING
VESSEL WHICH WENT OVER ON
SIDE WHILE DISCHARGING
BALLAST, BACK ON EVEN
KEEL WITHOUT INJURY.

Without the least damage, and
costing much less than had been at
first computed, the Norwegian bark
Else, which went over on her side
Wednesday afternoon and rested pre-
cariously on the incline railway track,
was successfully righted early yes
terday morning, and by 7 o'clock,
after having been carefully surveyed,
was pronounced not damaged in the
least. In consequence thereof the
Else started loading cargo of tim
Der at that hour.
Railroad men and the vessels crew
were the ones who righted the Else.
A tackle, with a double purchase"
was rugged up in the slip and within
less than three to four hours of work
the ship began to come back, and
gradually settled in her right posi-
ton.
"Not ten cents worth of damage to
either ship or the railroad property"
was the opinion advanced by one in
authority on the docks yesterday in
response to a query.
A large number of people who
learned when they read The Journal
yesterday morning of the plight Of
the ship, made trips later in the day
to see the ocean-going vessel resting
on her side as their morning paper
account had described it, but were
disappointed when they reached the
water front and saw the ship stand
ing upright, just as if nothing had
happened.

The timing of the Russian drive shows
it must have a definite relation to the
movements of the otrhe allied fronts.
Without a doubt it has already relieved
the pressure that was bending back the
Italian lines on the A1stro-I Italian
border.
The cars strategists have also had
an eye on the massing of so many Ger
man troops before Verdun. 1t is only
reasonable to conclude they timed their
big smash at Austria to take place when
the kaiser would not be able to disengage
enough men to relieve the wavering
-Austrians without giving up hope of
capturing the French stronghold.
Russia learned a bitter lesson when
its first offensive into Austrian territory
was turned into a retreat by the arrival
of German reinforcements. This time
the cars advisors undoubtedly believe
that so many Germans are engaged else
where they will not be able to turn the
tide again.
Only the future can show whether this
is true. The Germans, however, are
showing signs of attempting to relieve
the pressure upon Austria by assaulting
the northern part of the Russian lines
where several German gains are reported.
