shifted to the Italian front where the
Italians have won success in the re.
newal of their drive on Trieste
Southeast of Gorilla the Austro-
Hungarian positions have been pierced
at several points, the Italians advanc-
ing more than mile.
In the battles which began on We'd
nesday the Austro-Hungarians have
lost 10000 men in killed, wounded and
captured, it is unofficially estimated.
Fighting of the utmost violence con-
tinues In that sphere with the Austro-
Hungarians struggling desperately
On the western front the French
have not only re-occupied Fort Vaux
northeast of Verdun but have recap
tured part of the village of Sally on
the Somme front.
The Russians are attacking on the
eastern front. The German war Office
announced repulse of seven assaults
at one point
In Macedonia the fighting continues
with vigor. The Servians are giving
the Teutons no rest. Both the Ger

MURRAY PRESENTS
GOOD CLEAN BILL

One Of the cleanest bills filled with
pure amusement which has been
brought here in recent theatrical
seasons opened at the Murray theatre
yesterday in Around the Town." a
cleverly arranged musical fantasy
based on the craze for dancing. De-
spite the absence of the sordid alleged
burlesque wit, the play kept an IS. R.
O." audience in continual laughter last
night.
The playlet has as many songs as
musical comedy and several good ones
were put across. 1t was probably thhe
best trained and best costumed chorus
in Richmond this year. Dancing met
with approval from the strictest
throughout the five scenes.

YOUNG FOREIGNER
VIOLATES STATUTE

many unusual situations, in which a
voter may violate the law without
intention.
In one case here, young foreigner
who contemplated taking out his first
citizenship papers, as soon cs he
reached Fl, would become of age be-
tween registration day anu election
day. He registered. and was told later
he had violated the law because he
was not a citizen. But now, being
twenty-one, he proposed to file his
first papers.

WHOLESALE POISONING AT
BANQUET

More than 100 persons, including Wis
iting prelates of the Roman Catholic
Church, were poisoned at banquet in
the University Club of Chicago, on the
evening Of February 10, at which Arch
bishop George William Mundelein was
the guest of honor. Those partaking of
the soup, became seriously i'll soon there
after; violent vomiting resulted, which
doubtless saved the lives of the victims.
The illness was at first supposed to
have been caused by ptomaine poison
ing, but this theory seems to have been
abandoned upon more thorough inves-
tigation. It is said that quantitative
analysis, completed by the Chicago
health department, disclosed the fact
that each pint Of the soup served at the
banquet, contained probably 81 grains
of arsenic, an excessive amount which
must have ben placed in the soup pur-
posely.
A raiding of the room of the assis-
tant chef Of the University Club, who is
said to have repaired the lentils for the
soup, resulted, it is claimed, in the find
ing Of large quantities of five different
poisons, and trunk full of anarchistic
literature. The first arrest was made
on February 10, but the party most
wanted, has not been located, at present
writing.

IRON-CLAD PROHIBITION BILL
FOR DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

Senator Sheppard's prohibition bill
for the District of Columbia, now be-
fore the United States Senate, is re-
garded by authorities as the most thor
ough, comprehensive, iron-bound, steel
riveted lid ever devised" The residents
of the District have no vote or say in the
matter; it is all up to Congress.
The bill provides that the mere posses
sion of liquor shall be deemed sufficient
evidence to convict person of selling
it. Discovery of liquor on premises will
void the lease, and give the owner the
right to eject the occupant. Common
carriers are prohibited bringing alco-
holic beverages into the District. Any
scheme to evade the law shall be re-
garded the same as the sale of liquor.
The sale of any liquor containing more
than u of l per cent. of alcohol, is for
bidden @
This is understood tt include perfum-
cry, favoring extracts, proprietary
medicines, prescriptions and other pre-
parations. It is claimed that this would
preclude the use of vanilla by house
wives.

EIGHT-HOUR DAY DEMANDED BY
RAILWAY employees

The first official statement on the i'm
pending controversy between the rail
roads of the country and their train
crews, was issued on February 9, by four
brotherhood chiefs, representing 400,-
900 employees on 528 railway lines. The
statement declares that overtime in road
service, is due to the practice Of rail
ways in overlooking train so that it
cannot make it's mileage within the pre-
scribed time limit.
They claim that there is no justifca-
tion for the contention of railways that
the eight-hour day is impossible, as is
shown by the fact that many roads in
various sections of the country now pay
for overtime. The organizations de-
clare they are not opposed to arbitration,
neither are they pledged to accept it.
It is estimated that the demands Of
the trainmen, if acceded to, will expand
the payroll of American railways $780,
100000 annually.
