Senior IN Bad
for Theft of
Rare Violin

Chicago. July 15.-Victor Vitromili,
%, said to be the heir to the wealth of
a prominent family at Buenos Aires,
will be arraigned in police court here
today on the charge of larceny. all for
the love of a rare violin. The instru-
ment, the alleged theft of which land
ed the young Spaniard in a cell, is the
property of Edward f. Morgan, a not
ed amateur painter and is said to be
valuable European importation.
Nitromili came TO Chicago two
weeks ago with letters of recommen-
dation from high Argentine officials.
Alfred F. Brickwood, Jr., Argentine
consul in Chicago, took an interest in
him and invited him to his home
where Morgan resides. One evening
the young Spaniard saw and played
upon the violin. After that his visits
became more frequent, each time his
one idea apparently being to play upon
the instrument.
AS his attachment grew, the police
say, VitrOmili sought to purchase the
violin but Morgan refused to part with
it Thursday night after VitrOmili's
visit to the BrikwOOd home, the violin
was missing and yesterday the young
man was arrested upon a warrant is
sued at the request of Morgan. Later
according to the police, he admitted
the theft and told where the violin
could be found.

THE WAR TODAY

The British in their offensive
have swept forward on four mile
front and captured several vii
lagos.
The strategic Importance of the
British successes is marked by the
strengthening OF their line in con-
formity with that of the French
who had hitherto advanced at
greater speed than their allies.
The brevity of the preliminary
bombardment and the fact that
British losses were comparatively
small. lend support 10 unofncial
statements that the German sec
Ond line was much less strongly
fortified than their first defenSeS-
French official statements that
bombardment of German positions
on the Belgian front had reached
great inteiSity are interpreted as
indicating that another great for
ward movement by the entente al
lies may be attempted at the e8-
IRENE western end OF the battle
line.
The only actions reported on the
YeTdun front Friday were assaults
made by the French.

WOMANATTACKED
WHILE MAN is OUT
Wife Of Attorney Found in Dying Con-
ditiOn on Husbands Return
From Fake Phone Call.

st. Joseph, Mo, July 15.-Mrs. Os-
car d. Mcdaniel, wife of the prose
cutting attorney of Buchanan county,
died at a hospital here today as
a result of an attack upon her in her
homo about midnight last night. An
assassin fired five shots at her hus-
band who engaged in a pistol duel
with the man. Neither was hit and
the man escaped.
Mcdaniel was told over the tele-
phone about 1870 p. m. that his broth
er was drinking in a saloon and that
he had better come and take him home
Mcdaniel went in his automobile to
the saloon and found the call was a
fake. He stopped his car in front of
his home shortly afterwards and a
man opened fire on him from behind
a tree and fed. The prosecutor hur-
ried to his wife's room, where he
found her senseless on the floor. Her
head had been terribly crushed with
a heavy blunt instrument
BloOdhounds are being used to track
the slayer.
The police connect the tragedy with
an anonymous threatening letter re-
ceived by Mcdaniel a week ago.
