Further Successes Are
Claimed for Russians
fpy Associated Pross.l

PETROGRAD, Aug. 7.-(Via Eondon.)
Further successes for the Russians
along the Sereth and Graberka rivers
in northern Galicia south of Brody, were
announced by the war office today. The
Russians captured strongly fortified po-
sitions in the region of the villages of
Zvyjin, Kostiniec and Reniuv.
The statement follows:
"a squadron of seven enemy aero
planes bombarded several points in the
region east of the Stokhod river, caus-
ing but little damage.
AT some places along the Stokhod
the enemy took the offensive, but every
where was repealed. Our offensive con-
tinues in the region of the Graberka
and Sereth rivers. Our troops captured
strongly fortified positions of the en-
envy in the vicinity of the villages of
Zvyjin, Kostiniec and Reniuv. Fierce
bayonet encounters took place in the
woods in this region. The enemy made
counter attacks. Engagements are pro-
ceeding under difficulties owing to I'M
interrupted rains having reduced the soil
almost to a mcrass.
ION the River Koropiec the enemy
launched several energetic attacks in
the region of Velesnuk. All were re-
PEELED and the enemy suffered severe
losses
ION the River ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
south of Vorokhta, the enemy succeeded
in forcing back our cavalry outposts a
little distance"

PRESSING ,
/. OFFENSIVE AGAINST .
TEUTONS IN GAL|C|A
Cars Troops Are Nearing
Lemberg and the Entire
Austrian Front Is Rapidly
Being OutfIanked
(By Associated Press,)

WASHINGTON, Aug. General
Brussiloff is pressing his offensive
against the Teutonic allies in northern
Galicia where the passage of the River
Sereth was recently forced by the Rus
SLAMS along a wide front south of Brody.
Petrograd today reports further advances
with the capture of strongly fortified
positions along the Sereth and the Ora
berka.
The Russian forward push in this
sector is not only bringing them closer
to Lemberg but is pointed out by mill
tary critics as likely seriously to en-
the Stripa, to the south, which is rapid
ly being outflanked.
Heavy fighting continues on the west
ern front in the Verdun region. Ac-
cording to Paris, however. the Germans
have been entirely unsuccessful in their
efforts to regain ground lost in General
Nivelle's vigorous offensive last week
An attack on the Thiaumont wood is
declared to have been checked by the
French section barrier, while an assault
in the Vaux-Chapitre woods was broken
up by the artillery and machine guns.
In the Somme region todays Paris
statement reports only artillery activity
which, however, was intense near Chaul-
mes, north of the river.
British reports of the fighting east
of the Suez canal, in Egypt, show
crushing defeat for the Turks, who are
said to have lost fully one-fourth of
their electives, which numbered some
$4,000 men. The British took more than
3lO0 prisoners.
They are pursuing the Turks who al
ready have been driven Is miles into
the desert.
In the German East Africa the British
have driven the Germans beyond the
Central Railway line thus pressing them
into a comparatively narrow area on the
other side of which Portuguese forces
from the neighboring colony of Portu-
guese East Africa are operating. Lon
don dispatches report Premier Louis
Botha, of the Union of South Africa,
on the scene in anticipation that the
operation of depriving the Germans Of
| their last remaining colonial possession
will soon be accomplished.

Russians Pressing on
In Northern GaIicia
(Ry Associated Press.l

LONDON, Aug. I'm northern Cali
cia the Russians have struck another
hard blow at the Teutonic allies and
occupied along the Sereth and Graberli
rivers, south of Brody, six villages and
the entire ridge on which they are To-
Gated.
Furious fighting marked the engage
ment. the Russians being forced in the
villages to drive their adversaries from
house to house. The Austro-Germans
at last reports, were bombarding vio-
lently their lost positions.
In the fighting the Russians cap
tured a regimental commander and 10
other officers and more than $500 men
and also took numerous machine guns
and bomb throwers.
Berlin admits that the Russians nave
gained the left bank of the Sereth
river, but asserts that the Russians
have been driven from positions along
the Stokhod river, south of -Zarecze.
and that in the Carpathians the Ger
mans are still operating successfully
VICTORY OVER TURKS.
In Asiatic Turkey the Russians re-
mort the capture at various places of

kit-Cha river basin positions protected

sent Georgia in the extradition of per-
sons charged with crime in this state.
While solicitor general of the Ocmulgee
circuit 1 made frequent trips into a num-
Der of staes to have criminals brought
back here for trial, and neither nor any
other solicitor general that / know of
except Mr.. Dorsey, ever accepted either
a fee or expense money for this serv-
ice We did it because it was our duty
to do it,
1.-The only defense which ] have seen
that Mr.. Dorsey offers for accepting the
widow Nelms' money is in the shape of a
letter, signed by Marshall helms, her
son, in which ii is said that he and his
mother agreed with Mr.. Dorsey on a sat
isfactory sum for his expenses and time
Marshall Nelms was employed in the Of
flee of Mr.. Dorsey and it is not at all
remarkable that DR.. Dorsey was able to
obtain this letter from him.
ITO perform the service necessary for
the extradition Of the Illnesses, Mr.. Dor
sey had to make a trip to Washington
and also to make an argument before the
supreme court. Not over five days, at
the most, should have been required for
this trip and argument in the supreme
court. Therefore even if il were legal ii
would seem that Mr.. Dorsey exacted a
pretty stiff fee from the widow Nelms
for expenses and time.
But this isn't the worst of it. Seven
other separate indictments, which he
had drawn against the Illnesses, after
his arrangement for the fee with the
widow Nelms, we're thrown out by the
court because of the fact that the So
licitor, who was to prosecute the In
neses, had accepted this money from the
prosecutors. Thus it turns out that In
mes, popularity supposed to be the muir
derer of the Nelms girls, could only be
tried on the original indictment and
could only be given a sentence of seven
years Imprisonment, whereas had the
other seven indictments been allowed
to stand it would have been possible
for him to have been given penalties
aggregating about fifty years"
Mr.. Pottle renewed his attacks on Mr..
Dorsey for his alleged inconsistent and
insincere position on the matter of ex-
ecutive clemency. He said that Mr..
Dorsey, in his platform, declared against
the granting of executive clemency in
any case unless new and controlling
evidence had been discovered, which if
available at the time would have
changed the verdict of the jury. He
then read extracts from a number of
letters written by Mr. Dorsey while
solicitor general to the prison commits;
sion and the governor, urging pardon
paroles and combinations.
"In none of these cases" said Mr.
Pottlc, was there any new evidence
IL one case. that of a notorious high
wayman, who had been sentenced to
twenty years in the penitentiary, Mr..
Dorsey asked the governor to pardon
him, because he Dorsey entertained
some doubt as to the correctness OF
the jury's verdict, and for the reason
that the highwayman belonged to one
of the first families of Georgia and he
dorsey had attended college with the
highwayman's first cousin"
Mr.. Pottle then cited a number of
other cases in which Mr.. Dorsey had
recommended clemency with no greater
ba sis or justification.

SAVANNAH RECALL BILL
MAY COME UP FRIDAY
Resolution Is Offered in House
to Make This Measure a
Special Order

The Savannah recall bill, which has
precipitated one of the bitterest lights
of the session of the legislature, prob
ably will go to a vote in the house
this week.
Representative shelby Myrick, of
Chatham county, author of The house
bill, introduced a resolution Monday
morning to make the bill a special order
Friday The resolution was referred to
the rules committee.
1t is confidently expected by Repre-
sentative Myrick that his colleague
from Chatham county, Representative
Herman Shuptrine, who is a member of
the rules committee, will induce the
committee to place the Savannah re-
call bill on the calendar.
COMMITTEE Is NAMED.
Up to Wednesday all special orders
fixed by the committee must be sub
mitted to the house and be approved
by a three-fourths vote. But after
Wednesday the rules committee will be
IN supreme command of the calendar of
the house, under a standing rule which
places the calendar in the hands of the
committee during the last seven days.
Should the house pass the Savannah
recall bill, Senator Lawrence, of Savan-
nah, will undertake. to pass the house
bill as a substitute for the senate bill
which was laid on the table last week.
The house at the morning session
Monday passed a bill appropriating
100000 to build new dormitory and
administration building at the state
normal school at Athens.
A resolution was introduced in the
house by Representative Taylor, of Mon
roe, leader of the fight in the house
to repeal the tax equalization law, to
make the senate bill repeating the law
a special order. The resolution was re-
ferred to the rules committee.

CHILD LABOR LEGISLATION
ATTACKED BY 0VERMAN
Senator Asserts States Not
Congress, Have Power to
Act on Question
NV Associated Press,)

WASHINGTON, Aug. Proposed
child labor legislation should be sub
mitted to the states in the form of a
constitutional amendment, declared Sen
ator Overman in speech in the senate
today in opposition to the child labor
bill. He said congress had no conSti-
tutional authority to enact such law
For a hundred years or more it was
almost universally considered that no
legislation could be enacted which was
not authorized by the constitution" said
Senator Overman. Now with many 1T
seems to be the theory that anything
not forbidden by the constitution can
he enacted. That clause of the consti-
tuition which says all power not granted
by the constitution is reserved to the
people is regarded lightly, and is void Of
meaning.
IF this legislation is constitutional,
Mr.. President, there will be nothing left
of the rights of states, but there will
be an absolute absorption of the police
powers of the forty-eight sovereign COM
monwealths. and there will be no barrier
in the way of Capitalization of all power
in Washington, to which goal we are
now rapidly drifting"
Senator Overman declared that the ul-
innate purpose of the measure, under
the guise of regulating commerce. was
ture and the mills in the country.
1T is indirectly to do what you cannot
&c directly" he continued. ut is to put
a state under duress and compel it to
do that which some states have done in
order to have uniformity.
POWER or STATES.
LAS congress has the exclusive power
over interstate commerce, so the state
has the exclusive power to control its
own domestic and internal affairs, ard
question.
constitution remain limited; the reserve
let the integrity and autonomy of the
states be upheld; encourage state pride.
Capitalization would be a constant me-
mace to the liberties of the people, breed
Ing corruption and oppression. These
reserved powers are in the people of the
states It Is theirs to hold, it is theirs
to surrender; but when once surrendered
it can never be regained.
81 say with great judge who wrote
1t, that that government is the best
which, while performing all it's duties,
interferes the least with the lawful pur-
suits of the people"
Senator Overman submitted statistics
to support his contention that fewer
children were committed to jails and
warehouses in North Carolina than in
states where stringent child labor laws
were enforced. Statistics for 1910, he
said, showed that only Is children in
100 900 between IA and 16 years of age
in North Carolina were committed to
jails or warehouses; as compared with

SENATE DEFERs ACTION
ON NOTE OF FELDER's
Privilege Resolution of Sen
ator Minter Is Indefinite
Iy Postponed

The state senate Monday afternoon
just prior to adjournment voted to in
definitely postpone action on privilege
resolution by Senator Minter, of the
Twenty-fourth. requesting that Senator
Pickett, of the Forty-first. file with
the senate the alleged insulting note
delivered to him Thursday by a page
for Thomas E. Fielder, that such action
thereon may be taken as seems beftt-
ting the dignity of this body"
Introducing the resolution, Senator
Minter stated that the action of Mr..
Fielder during the debate on the Sa-
vannah recall bill came under the head
of contempt, but that as the time before
adjournment sine die was so short it
would not be practicable for the body
to take such action.
81 do think, however" said Senator
Minter. that this body should go on
record as taking some action in the
matter and it is for that reason that I
have introduced the resolution before
you"
Senator Boykin. of the Seventeenth,
speaking in opposition to the resolu-
ton, declared that the senate should
LEI the matter drop inasmuch as the
senate had gone On record last Friday
as emphatically denying that the stab
bling of Mr.. Fielder had anything to do
with the Savannah recall bill debate
and because the senator from the Forty
Srst was too noble a man to allow
himself to be dragged into the slime of
insult" The attack of Mr.. Fielder, he
concluded, was beneath any senator's
notice.
The motion to indefinitely postpone
was made by Senator Pickett, of the
Eleventh. The vote was 16 to s, Il bare
quorum voting.
PRECIPITATED BY WALKER.
The introduction of the resolution was
precipitated by a point of personal priv
iIege which Senator Walker, of the
Twentieth, made during the morning.
He explained to the senate that his in
terest in the matter was not personal
in the least, but that he thought that
The senate should take cognizance of
any attempt from the outside to modest
any member OF it's body.
He stated that he had in fact pre-
pared a motion requesting Senator Ros-
coe Pickett to produce the note which
it is claimed Thomas B. Fielder sent to
him during the session Thursday, but
that on a request from Senator Pickett
himself, who stated that the matter was
one personal to him and one which he
wanted to deal with as such, he put the
motion in his desk and took no further
action on it.
The press reports stating that he
would introduce such a resolution Mon
day has compelled him to make the per-

SIGNAL HORN
SHR|EKS WARNING AS
SUBMARINE IS SEEN
UnderSea Craft Sighted Off
Coast of Maine Is Believed
to Have Been Long-ExpeCt-
ed Bremen
(By Associated Press.)

MACHIASPORT. Me-, Aug. Cap
tain Small, of the Cross island coast
guard station. reported today that his
station had sighted a large submarine
bound west. It's nationality could not
be determined, but the captain said he
had no doubt 1t was an undersea craft
The submarine was coming to the
surface when it was sighted and after
running awash fifteen minutes again
submerged. IT was thought that the
vessel might be the German submarine
Bremen. So far as can be learned there
are no United States submarines on the
Maine coast.
The lookout who sighted the subma-
rine later said that he picked the vessel
up in clear weather FIVE miles to the
southeast AS the vessel came to the
surface the lookout said he heard sew
eral blasts from the signal horn at the
lighthouse on Seal island, British pos
session.
II is believed that the keeper of the
lighthouse was signaling to the keeper
at Grand Manan light, also British
owned. that a submarine had been
sighted
Immediately after the whistle sounded
the submarine submerged. A few min
utes later haze set in and it was i'm
possible to see more than four miles
off Cross island.
Lowell w. Dunn, the lookout on Cross
island. later reported that he had sight
ed a second submarine considerably
smaller than the first one.
Cross island lies close to the Maine
coast. If the vessel was the Bremen
she was either off her course or had
chosen to come in close to the enemy's
country in order to arrive sooner within
the three-mile limit Her course would
bring her within the three-mile limit
soon after she was sighted, and from
then on she would have plenty of water
to permit her to keep within the neutral
