TRIANGLE
AND TWO ARE DEAD
Woman and Man Shot In
Jealous Rage in Seattle
by Frank Young

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 17.-Detectives
were searching near the university dis
trict today for Frank Young, who shot
and killed Miss Martini Antoine and
Jack Collinson in jealous rage near
rovidence hospital here at 9 O'Clock
last nght. They believe he took his
own life after the tragedy.
The woman died at fovidence hos
pital at 4:20 'cloch tkis morning, but
Collinson, said to be her husband, with
three bullets in his back died few
minutes after he had been removed
from the street where the shooting
occurred.
Young, known us Frank Won De
Hyda, l6 months ago when he ran a
rooming house at Vancouver, Il. C..
wished his rival "good luck " few
hours before he killed Collinson.
The pair had come down from British
Columbia at the request Of Young who
was suffering from a nervous break
down in Providence hospital.
Yesterday afternoon the three went
walking together and agreed to 90 tc
a moving picture show last night.
AT TAO p. m. Young received a tel
ephone call from the woman and slam
med up the receiver. Nurses noted he
was crying.
Ten minutes later he left the hos
pital. At 9 o'clock six shots were
heard across the street from the hos
pital.
Colinson, just before he died said
"Von De Hyda shot me, he pulled
gun-didn't say anytning-just shot
Family trouble. !"
He died a few minutes later.

Austrian Reinf orcements
Check CardOna's Advance
Toward Trieste
HOT COUNTER ATTACKS
BRING SLAVS TO A HALT
On the Solnme Both British
and French Make Gains,
Though Slight

London, Aug. 17.-Strong Austro-Ger-
man counter attacks have halted the
Russian and Italian offensives tempo
rarily, though the great battle of the
Somme continues to progress fayorably
for the allies.
For the first time in more than fort
night, the official statement from the
Russian war office today recorded no
further gains. Petrograd dispatches
carried the admission that enemy coun-
ter attacks have checked General Brush
lofts armies. The German war office
reported not only the repulse of all Rus
sian attacks but the capture of a dom
mating height in the Carpathians
The arrival of Austrian reinforce
ments and the necessity of stra;ghten-
ing out the Italian front have halted
General Cadorna's march southwark
against Trieste. Official dispatches
from the German, French and British
war offices regarding the outcome of
severe fighting on the Somme front
yesterday and last night contained
sharp contradictions. The Germans ad-
mitted the loss of 500 yards Of first
line trenches to the French south Of the
Somme, but announced that both the
British and French were driven out of
trenches they penetrated north of the
river.
General Haig in his first report on
yesterdays fighting on the Som
me front, announced the capture not
only of positions around Guillemont, of
ficially reported from Paris last night,
but also the taking of 800 yards of Ger
man trenches. The French war office
reported violent artillery struggles on
the Somme front last night, but said
the Germans made no attempt to re-
conquer positions captured by the al.
lies yesterday.
Similar contradictions are contained
in official reports regarding recent OPP
erations in the Balkans. A delayed Bul.
garian official statement today claimed
the repulse of strong French attacks
extending along q wide front, while the
French war office announced successes
in a number of local operations.

PAPERS
ATTACK GERARD
Claim English Censors Made
Public Correspondence
Putting Him In Bad

Berlin. Aug. ia vigorous attack
on Ambassador Gerard was made today
by the Berlin Morgenpost and the Col.
lege Gazette, the influential German
newspapers for the attitude toward the
German censorship he is alleged to
.aave displayed in a confidential com
municaton to the state department.
American correspondents in Berlin
recently handed to the ambassador a
protest against British censorship of
cable dispatches and mail matter they
had sent to the United States. They
pointed out that the British censor
badly mutilated many of their dis.
patches and that n large per centage
of their mail stories failed to reach
America at all.
In transmitting the report TO the
state department, Ambassador Gerard
is reported to have sent along n conf
Dental note, recommending that no ae.
tion be taken by the American gov
crnment unless Germany removed the
censorship on news sent to America.
How this alleged confidential note be-
came public property is not known, but
the contents Of the message soon be-
came known. in newspaper circles.
"The American government and its
organs already have endured many
brutal British infringements. said the
Morgenpost Even Americans re-
proach their officials. They have de-
graded themselves by giving up their
neutrality and honor as accompliees of
England, so it is p-esumable that they
will also andurp thia infrinpement and
the attitude Of their ambassador,
whereby the British infringement is
supported.
awe doubt whether the German for
eign office will be satisfied with Ge'
rard IS conduct. We nope the govern
ment will find means to correct his
strange attitude. The German censor
ship does not concern him and he has
no right to crtieise measures necessary
for the safety Of German interests
The Cologne Gazette editorial was in
similar vein.

If the French offensive mas carried

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE first OF
the $40 members of the railroad broth
erhood general committee began filing
into the East entrance of the White
House at 2:45 this afternoon. A large
crowd witnessed their arrival.
Although A. B. Garretson Of the sab
committee had copy Of the presi
dents proposal 10 lines in length
written on White House stationery by
the president himself-none of the gen
eral committee had read it. Lee, Car
ter and Stone of the subcommittee had
duplicates.
1t was not discussed, it was declared
at the meeting of the general committee
at the Biiou theatre, which lasted from
| O. o'clock until 2.
"The president himself is to present
it., said Lee.
As the men passed through the doors
Garretson, Lee, Carter and Stone identi
fled each, to make certain none but
members of the general committee gain
ed admission. The last man was inside
by 3 O'Clock.
Later leaders OF the men announced
privately that President Wilson's pro
posal is primarily for an eight hour
day with postponement Of less impor
tant matters until later. The men went
into caucus after leaving the White
House and leaders predicted they would
overwhelmingly accept the plan.
Wilson'S proposals were characterized
as following substantially the line Of
discussion in the press the past few
days, though the United Press informant
indicated that both punitive overtime
and pro rata overtime was suggested fol
later disposition.
The presidents proposition was very
short and what he read embodied th,
granting of the eight hour day immedi

by the president to be given full pow
ers Of investigation of orin un unur
ers of investigation by congress. The
commission would devote itself only tt
investigation of the collateral issues, in

hour day to railroad operation, it wa

ly surprised at such an important
change at this time.
General Trevino has personally di
rected the campaign against bandits
in Chihuahua and it is, said to be
largely because of his efforts that
the Carranza soldiers have continued
their operations against Villa and
other outlaw leaders on such a broad
scale. For that reason some regret
over the transfer was expressed here,
though officials say they were con-
fident that General Herrera would use
every resource at his command to con-
tinue the campaign.
General Bells despatch pointed out
that General Herrera was anxious to
have the mines and other industrial
activities in Chihuahua resume operz
ations as soon as possible. 1t was in
timated that he would make use OF
his new command to encourage foreign
development of Mexican industries
whose operations have been suspend
ed because the Carranza government
failed to protect them from bandit
destruction.
