nor condone it. Neither do the great majority of the Monticello people, and the large contingent of local spectators in the grandstand and on the grounds were as much astoniehed and generally as indignant as anybody else. The player involved in the unpleasantness was released the same day. which was as much as any team in the League could have done In the minor difficult ty among the by. islanders the Dermott participant was entirely, or at the very least, largely, to blame.
 As to the statement that Monticello players have been guilty of similar offenses on numerous occasions, we ln- vite the News to trot out the said oc- casons To the best of our informa- tion. this is the first unpleasantness Tn which the Monticello team has been involved this season Certainly the games at Monticello have been almost entirely free from pickering, and if there haze been scenes worth men tioning elsewhere, they have been kept very quiet indeed The news has never got back home.
 The fact of the business Is. 1t was on. of the regrettahle incidents that bob up unexpectedly and might happen on anybody $ team. IL was of course unfortunate but could not possibly be foreseen Despite Dermotts holier than thou attitude. they haven t got corner on all the gentlemanly ball play CTS in the country.
 As to the News being absolutely wrong, We notice that the Warren pa per is also wrong. and in fact that everybody is wrong who doesn't un- questionngly accept Monticellos ul- timata
 The terrible indignation of the citizens of Monticello seems 10 have been tittingly expressed in the heavy fine of Sloo which was imposed upon Cawthon for his eowardly assault.
 As to 'trotting out the said occa- sions. We are ready to admit that SC far as We know this IS the first time that Monticello has inflicted an injury so serious that the physician feared t would prove fatal. and 1t seems that anything short of killing man s, ac- cordinu to their standard. being per feet gentleman.
 But when it comes to quarrehng and tussing and everiastinely stirring up trouble. Monticello has done that sort of thing so much that they have made for theMsel q most uneGviahle rep utatan. d. the article in the Warren paper quoted below, bears Us out in stating Ii the editor of the Advance and some of the other citizens of Mon ticello don't knew that then ball team has this kind of reputation. it cer- tairly would pay them to get away from home and find cut. fer net only l. this opinion generally entertained of their team, but the opinion is also generally entertained that a great number of Monticello citizens are backing them up in their apparent determlnation to win. if not ty fair means then by intimidation CT in som. other way.
 If this reputation IS unjust. let the Monticello players prove it by their future conduct. Dermott k not as suming "holer than thou attitude, but We do believe in far play and q s.,,or. 1.1l

send OUT SLEUTH TO
HUNT ODOR SOURCE

Admitting that the obnoxios stencil
that has permeated the atmosphere
Of the southwestern section Of the
city for months had eluded his olfac-
tory nerves in the same manner that
it has tripped the paid sleuths Of the
health department, Councilman Nc
Goldrick last night asked City Coun-
Gil to have the health committee fer
ret out the cause of the odor and to
report to Council next week Coun-
Gilman McGoldrick said that citizens
in his ward were compelled to vacate
their front steps at night to escape TIE
stencil.
This condition he said was a menace
to public health, and the only thing
that had been accomplished so far
was to have one industrial plant
blaming the others for the cause.
Councilman McDermott also spoke
on the question, saying that he felt
the health committee of Council
should start their investigation at
home BY this he explained that
Shipley Run sewer had not been
cleaned by the Street and Sewer De-
partment for three and a half years
at least.
Council instructed the committee to
report next week.

Delaware delegation to the Republi-
can national convention unable to
agree again this morning on a ma
tional committeeman, it is expected
that the vacancy in the committee
will be filled at some later date by
the national committee. The delega-
ton divided again this morning three
to three. Despite the opposition of
Alfred l. dupont, Edmund Mitchell
and Ruby r. Vale to the election Of
General DUPONT as national commit
teeman, il is believed among Repub-
licans here that General DUPONT will
be named national committeeman
from Delaware by the national COM
mittee. 1t is pointed out here that a
majority OF the Republican State COM
mitteemen in Delaware are favorable
to General DUPONT for national COM
mitteeman, and it also is contended
that Mr.. Vale, in opposing General
DUPONT is going contrary to senti-
ment in his county sussex. which
/ is strong for General dupont. For
mer Governor Pennewill. Alden R.
Benson and John w. Herring, dele
gates. are supporting General DUPONT
| for committeeman.
General DUPONT was placed in nomi-
nation as a candidate for President
in the Republican convention early
| this afternoon by Congressman
/ Thomas w. Miller, OF Delaware. who
was given the courtesy of the floor to
make the nominating speech. General
/ duPonts name was among the earliest
presented to the convention. His
friends are counting on five Delaware
votes for him on the first ballot. but
after that the delegation may scatter
its votes. II is conceded that Alfred

dupont. but may cast his first ballot
for Roosevelt

BY The United Press.

LONDON, June 9-Lemberg, the

Austria. about 15O miles from the fight
front east of Brody. is the immediate
goal of the onrushing Russian bear,
in the belief of the London correspon-
dents at the fr mt Lemberg is about
100 miles from and almost directly
east of Przemysl, the scene of some Of
the fiercest Of the eastern front fight
ing early in the war.
According to the Petrograd des-
patches the five Austrian armies along
the front are in full retreat in the
realization that they could not hold
their positions against the artillery
attacks of the Russians, the great
est of the war on the eastern front.
Petrograd now claims $4,000 Austrian
prisoners and sets the Austrian casu-
alties of the present offensive, five
days old, at nearly 200 600.
The greatest gain for the Russians Is
Lutsk, the third corner of the Nolhyniar
triangle Of fortrcsses. At this point th'
Russians drove the Austrians back -
miles practically without halt.
