EIation In Petrourad

FETROGRAD. Feb. 16. (Via London, Feb. 17D-The fall of Erzerum. which had been confidently awaited since the forces of nine of the eighteen forts guarding the gateway to Asia Minor, is the cause of great el1tiOn in Petro- grad.
 Controlling the roads through Ar menia. with access to Trebizond Tab rig and Mesopotamia, the capture of ErZerum is calculated to have immense strategic importance in the Russian campaign ir the Caucasus and it will indirectly affect the Balkan campaign by relieving the pressure on the allies at SalCniki.
 The conviction entertained by all Russian military observers that Erze- rum ultimately would be forced to cap itulate was based on the fact that the remaining nine forts were of consid- erahly less importance than those al "eaGy in Russian hands and could be readily flanked CT even ignored, in forcing the evacuation of the Turkish stronghold.
 The taking of the first fort is be- lieVed to have destroyed the plan of defense, since the impregnability of ErZeTum rested on the assumption of he German engineers who constructed the Qualifications that the position was safc against assault from the south.
 Tn spite of the intense cold and deep now, the Russian troops took Kop mountain by storm and dealt the Turks the first staggering blow. Hav- ng driven them from this position, the Russian artillery broke through and 'larked the other positions which went ike a house of cards, the result of the Russian onslaught exceeding all eXpec- tations.
 The Caucasian campaign derived 'reat benefit from the Russian domin- ation of the Black Sea, which enabled

FROG INDUSTRY
 VERY PROFITABLE

After a tryOut of three years. J. R. Lambert of the Connors- Lambert Frog ranch, believes that the frog industry is one of the greatest in Ar iZona. Although Mir Lambert has not become a millionaire, he is well sat isfied with the business which has rapidly multiplied.
 The ranch is nine miles from the city and is located on St Johns Ditch. During the recent high water the loss estimated by Mir. Lambert did not exceed more than 800 frogs.
 Not much of a loss when you have 15O,000 frogs" said MT. Lambert. Tt certainly beats the COW business. There is scarcely any expense at tached to it. The water in the ponds must be kept pure but the frogs for age around for their own food. We had our first big frogs shipped il from Louisiana, the largest weighed about four pounds. Since we began business three years ago, we havt not imported any. We sell to Nev York and all the large eastern citie and get from $1.25 to $150 dozer for frog legs

 But do you think it fair"
 Having in mind the attitude Mir. Brandeis was taking at the time against the company. the statement was, I think, very much fairer than the statements MT. Brandeis was mak- ing to committees of congress-"
 Senator Cummins inquired as to the obpject in offering the pamphlet
 T offer it, replied Mir. Anderson. Ito show Mr Winslow's state of mind as to Mir Brandeis and as bearing on the campaign of publicity which this corporation has undertaken against MT. Brandeis When such things as these are circulated after a while some person may think there is something wrong about man
 The witness insisted he was not ap- bearing voluntarily before the com mittee and further that the document had been issued at a time when MT. Brandeis was carrying on cam paign of publicity against the com pany and the only way for the com pany to get it's case before the public was to make a statement setting forth it's side.
 MT. Anderson sought to disprove MT. 'Winslow's testimony that Noten Florshein and Jackson Johnson had attempted to secure $3000. 900 worth of the United Shoe Machinery Com pany's stock with a threat that they would make trouble if it was not sold to them and that Brandeis con- tinued to act as counsel for the manufacturers after being informed of their action. Mir. Anderson reat from the testimony of Florshein ant Johnson in suit brought against the United company in Massachusetts to prove that both of them swore they had no recollection of any sucf threat
 Mir. Winslow was excused at tht close of the night session. Tomorrow the committee plans to hear the tes. | timony of Moorefield Storey and Sher. man Whipple of Boston and othe, witnesses in regard to the Warre1 Will and Lenox bankruptcy cases | Friday it is proposed to hear MT | Fox make an opening statement as tt | charges his clients expect to prov, and to take the testimony of any wit

BANDITS VICTIM
 WAS WELL KNOWN !. N. t. D|ST|LLER
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1
 FL PASO, Feb. l6.-Guy Johnson, an American who was reported to have killed five bandits before he himself was slain December 26 last near Tejolo- cachi, Chihuahua, was in reality Guy Hartman, a wealthy North Carolina distiller sought by the American gov ernment in connection with revenue frauds according to stories brought here by refugees from the interior of Chihuahua.
 Government officials, however, re- fused confirmation, referring ques- tiOnerS to internal revenue officials at Washington.
 Hartman or Johnson fled to Mexico last year, it is said, and became q ranch hand just prior to the disclosure of the frauds which involved distillers and United States revenue officials in Tennessee and other states. Agents of the revenue service went to Chihuahua last October to induce Hartman to re- turn, but failed to see him. The man is said to have been trying to make his way from Chihuahua to Sonora when he was set upon by the bandits, five of whom were killed before they succeed ed in slaying him.
 The man worked as a ranch hand under the name of Guy Johnson for Henry Acklin cattleman, who was reported several weeks ago to have been killed by bandits. Acklin reached Fl PasO safely last week after having hidden out in the mountains west of Chihuahua city for several weeks
 Two carloads of hides offered for ex- port from Juarez, which American cattle men declared contained eighty per cent of brands belonging to owners who had no part in the transaction of the sale by the CarranZa authorities. were ordered today to be held a req sonable time to enable claimants to take the case into the United States l'courts.
 The hides, valued at 5000 were sold by General Luis Herrera, military chief or Chihuahua state, to representatives or New York firm of leather dealers under special permit which suspend ed the recent Carranza decree pro- hllbltlnS the export of cattle hides. The purchasers of the hides declared today they had no fear of adverse court rul- Ing, and referred to the decision of q ! New Jersey court ip a case involving a shipment of hides alleged to have been stolen by Villa and exported by him last year. This decision held that l Villa was the de facto ruler Of the | country under his control and had the right to confiscate property. With the ! Caffanza government formally recoe
 hlzed, the agents of the leather dealers
 peheved other courts would follow the precedent.

 AGED MEXICAN

Bernardo Secna, proprietor of a small fruit stand in the south part of town, received a bullet wound in the scalp in an encounter with an armed rhold-up man on Lincoln street between Second and Third avenues early this morning. Had the bullet struck an inch lower it would have blown the top of his head off. The highwayman made his escape and Secna, who was accompanied by his daughter, aged +about l3 years, was unable to. furnish the police with any description of his assailant.
 Secna and the little girl closed the fruit stand shortly after midnight They started home and noticed they were being followed by a man. At no time did they see him closely enough to secure q description. When Lincoln street was reached, the man approach ed them and drawing a gun made Secna throw up his hands. After relieveing Secna of s7.35, the highwayman de- manded more. Secna informed him that was all the money he had When the robber threatened to shoot if more money was not forthcoming Secna grabbed at the gun which was almost immediately discharged.

 assailant.

Letter From Crones?

NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-A letter pur- porting to be signed by Jean Crones, the fugitive Chicago chef who helped prepare the banquet to Archbishop Mundelein at Chicago at which many of the diners were poisoned, was re- ceived today by the New York Times. It's authenticity is being investigated by the police
 The author of the letter evidently is in or near New York. He says he has bleached his hair white; that he has a job and that he is living quietly in a village near this city.
 The letter, with it's imperfect gram mar and misspelling, follows in part:
 Everything I have read in the papers regarding my case is either foolish or untrue. I declare that my story is true. In America I am since the 9th May. 1913. and worked for three months in Casters old French restaurant, Grand City, Staten Island as chef. After that I worked for 1 jahr in New York and after that in Chicago, cleve. in the Country club and back to Chicago at the University Club l was chef of the old west room and did not have any thing to do with the soup.
 T always was in the Radical move ment as writer and as a true com rade to my fellow workers Mean while I have studied science (astron- omy and chemistry). As I love science, l hathe the religion and as have seen the menue for that diner F days before, I fought that it was a sanitary thing to make a good cleanup. And l started right away to work. I worked till late in the night every day and I prepared the poisons but the most hat a bitter taste. Later I agreed for arsenic and barium chloride.
 No one in the world has known those things before After I hat g placed the poison in little quantitie. in different dishes which were ready for the diner.
 After that I went home took g solution and made my hair white as schnOv. Two times was over kommen by the gases evolved. Ther left home with nothing but my chlotes some explosives and some poison, also an knife and a revolver These explosives are very dangerous for the smallest shok causes an ex plosion which will have terrible re suites. l deny there were any ex plosives in my room after I left.

 With the exception of the above the day passed quietly along the whole British front.
 The capture of 600 yards of our front line trench reported yesterday was preceded by a heavy lombard ment and tbe explosion of five mines. which rendered our front trench un- tenable. The attacks which extended over 1 00a yards of the front. were re- pulsed everywhere else with consider able loss to the enemy.
 The trench captured by the enemy fire luently las changed hands during the last year. For this reason it has been called the international trench.
