Retreat of Austrians.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

London, Aug. 15.-Russians report
their offensive from Jablonitza. which
they captured, is continuing. Jablon-
liza is enc of the important gate
ways from Galicia to the HUNGARIAN
plains. This is the first news of the
advance of the Russian southern army
since the conquest of the Austrian
crownland of Bukowina was complet-
ed. further north the Russians are
continuing their driving operations
against the Austrians with apparently
uninterrupted success. Their troops
are pouring across the Zota Lipa riv-
er at several points.
Italians are pressing vigorously
their advance against the Austrians
on CarsO plateau, and Rome reports
the capture Of several sections of
Austrian trenches and the taking of
more than sixteen hundred prisoners.
Unofficial dispatches say General Ca
dorna is within thirteen miles Of
Trieste, and the Austrian fleet has
Trieste harbor.
Dispatches from Paris announce
that Tolmino, considered one of the
most formidable barriers between the
Italian forces and Trieste, is being
evacuated by Austrians and the Ital-
ians are in suburbs OF that town.
Germans admit the British have OBJ
tanned foothold IN the trenches on
the Thiepval-Pozieres front, and re-
port the repulse of violent attacks
by British and French in other sec
tors Of the Sonme front.
A small engagement occurred on
the Balkan front, between Bulgarians
and allies, Berlin announced.

THANFTRST REPORTED

According to a report which was re-

o'clock, the storm which was report
ed near Jamaica about a week ago
is of greater intensity than first re-
ports indicated. Up to the time of
last report, however, the future course
of the storm is uncertain, but there
is no uncertainty, it appears, as to
the intensity, judging from the fol-
lowing:
Advisory Warning.

The tropical storm is of greater
intensity than first reports indicated
At two p. m, the disturbance was

differences which threaten a nation
wide railway strike has, after two
days, progressed only to the point
where ground work for future neeo-

but the situation is frightened by the
possibility of settlement being
reached by ali railroads concerning
the principle of ala eight-hour day
and both sides settling collateral is
sues by some form of negotiations
as yet undetermined.
After communicating with Presi-

They are expected here Thursday and

KNOTT SHOWS EVIDENCE
PROVING CON SPIRACY OF
S T URKIE AND Cats TO
THROW ODIUM ON HIM

Mr.. Cats made speech at Or
lando last Friday. He talked long and
labored much. What he said was a
piece of the same old thing: False
hoods, Misrepresentation and AFRO
CANT demagogury.
/ feel that it is unfair to the peo-
pie of Florida, the honest right think
ing people, to permit some of these
statements of his to go unchallenged.
There are too many gross misrepre-
sensations, not to call them by worse
names, to notice them all at one
time, but I shall take occasion from
day to day to point out some of these
things that the people may know the
truth. Among these things l find
the following in his speech at 0rlan-
do, as reported by Prof. F. J. Stan
ley, principal, business department,
Orlando high school, in the Orlando
Reporter Star:
"Our detective has also found out
that one of the henchmen of Knott
has also stuffed the boxes in another
southern county to the tune of $50.
But gentlemen, we are not going to
have that man arrested until this
other can be arrested too. As soon
as he gets these proofs we will have
these men here and he will find out
the tracks of that midnight robber
who changed the ballot of 100 in that
county. These are not dreams from
the background of somebody's imagi-
nation, but they are facts and we
know two of the men and will soon
know who it is down here. In fact,
we know it already; but, because the
man was on the Knott side and is
now with Cats, he has asked US not
to talk; but it will all come out"
l am glad, indeed, that Mr.. Cats
has referred to this matter. It has
given me an opportunity I have de-
sired. ! had intended as soon as I

w. c. Singley, Johnnie

kins Arrested.
PAID OWN FARES,
CLAIM WOMEN
Conspiracy Charge May Be
Made Against Per
kins Woman.

W. C. Singley, Johnnie" Clark and
pet" Perkins, the two last-named be-
ing women, were charged with being
dangerous and suspicious characters
when taken in charge by city patrol
men yesterday afternoon. Officer
Murphy arrested the man and one
woman, while Officer Tarrance ar
rested the second woman. But their
troubles didn't stop there.
Three hours after they had been
locked up, United States Marshal
Perkins appeared at the station at
the station, holding a warrant charg-
ing one of the defendants with vio-
latlng the white slave act. The name
as contained in the affidavit was in
correctly spelled, and the marshal, de-
string that no inaccuracy figure IN
the case, refused to take the one in
charge, at least until the mans cor
rect name appeared in the warrant.
Arthur w. Davis, special agent for
the department of justice, lost no
time in going to the police station
when. he was informed that three
prisoners were locked up there, charp-
ed with violating the Mann act, and
when he Feached there, began ia
probe the case. Johnnie Clark, the
woman who II said I'll have been
transported from Meridian to Pensa-
cola, was closely questioned, but YER
little Information Of value was Oh
tanned from her. Both she and the
other woman denied their fares had
been paid by Singley.
The case will be further probed by
federal authorities today, with a view
to having the prisoners held, n the
evidence justifies, to the next federal
grand jury.
The Perkins woman was reported
to have stated that she had
adopted that name. She said that
she and man had had falling out,
and that she came on here with the
other woman, each of them paving
their railroad fare, The charge Of con-
spiracy will be brought against her
if today's investigation warrants.
Singley was well-supplied with
money when taken in charge, as well
as having number of pieces Of Jew
elry. The blotter at the city Jail yes
terday afternoon showed that the sum
of S48 had been taken from him
when search was made.

SEEMS To Be
POOR PIPING
Storm Sewer System at
Coyle Shattered-Due
to Soft Pipe.

That the breaks in the sewer sys-
tenn are due to defective piping,
seemed to be demonstrated when the
sewer was uncovered at Coyle, be-
tween LaRua and Belmont, Tuesday,
showing the pipe to be badly split
and crushed, due to softening when
water entered the material through
a defective glazing.
About twenty feet of the sewer
system was exposed. The 15-inch san
itary sewer, Il feet below the sur
face of the ground, was found to be
in good shape; but the 36-ihch storm
sewer, Is feet deep, is in very bad
condition.
Piping must be replaced, Tor the
breaks are too bad for concrete
patching.
Additional lengths of the System
will be uncovered.
When the sewer first began to
break, it appears, water leaked out
and undermined the foundation of
sand, causing the system to settle,
breaking the house connections and
fastening the full disaster, followed
by the caving of the streets.

The familiar whites of the Sea
Scouts were again noticed last NIGHT
on the streets as taSss re-organEzed
troop went through their drills and
many old friends hailed the young
sters and wished chem good luck in
their scout work.
After the drill the troop stood at
attention and said the Scouth oath.
"0n my honor I will do my best to
do my duty to God and my country
and obey the Scout law, to help other
people at all times, to keep myself
physically strong, mentally awake
and morally straight" After the oath
two scouts held the troop colors and
the entire troop repeated the flag
pledge: Il pledge allegiance to my
flag and the republic for which it
stands, one nation indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all" The ring
ing Sea Scout yell was then given and
the troop dismissed.
The next drill will be held on Tues
day evening at 8 o'clock at the Y. NJ.

SAILOR GETS WAGE:
WITHDRAWS LIBEL

Jeronimo Casalica withdrew his
libel against the British steamship
Strathearn, in the federal court Tues
day. and has been discharged from
further service by the master of the
vessel.
The libel Of Casalica was one of
four which was filed for the collection
which the men claimed were due un-
der the La Toilette seamen's act.
With the payment of wages and the
discharge from duty the case was
ended. No action was taken in re-
gard to the other three claimants, and
it is probable that they will be tried

The men sent here viii probably

the measure is so complete and near
