RECoUNTS MAIL CONSPIRACY
Witnesses in Smuggling Plot Allowed
to Go Abroad.

Anthony Biorn, the waiter who con-
fessed TO the Customs officials his par
ticipation in the conspiracy to SNUG
gle mails to and from Germany in vio-
lation of the postal law, was examined
again yesterday in the Office of the
United States attorney. He repeated
the story told to Deputy Surveyor John
Raczkiewicz on Thursday and unfolded
the additional plans of the conspirators
to put German subjects through the
British blockade as stowaways on
Scandinavian and Norwegian steam
ships.
An opinion prevails in the Federal
Building that Hans Edward Thompson
and Fred Uffelman, who employed
Biorn, will never be prosecuted for a
violation of the postal law, which is
punishable by fine of $50. The ap-
parent unimportance Of the case was
disclosed yesterday when the United
States Attorneys Office permitted sew
eral stewards government witnesses
to depart for Bergen, Norway, on the
steamship Kristianiafjord.
Thompson and Uffelman, held on a
charge Of smuggling jewelry into this
country valued at $4,000, were unable
TO procure bail yesterday, and are de-
tanned in the Tombs.

Grand Duke Nicholas, with
Huge Force, Is Pushing
Steadily Ahead.
FORCES OF SULTAN
FAR OUTNUMBERED
Drive Toward Sivas To Be
Resumed Soon, Is Now
the Belief.

London. Aug. 26. The Grand Dukes
new campaign in the Caucasus is I'M
checked. Having turned the Turks
left wing, the Russian forces are again
advancing west of Erzigan, toward
Sivas, and in the Lake Van district,
where Bills is their immediate OBJ
jective.
With Mush in their possession, the
Russians have advanced to a ridge be
yond the town. The Turks fell back
before them. Meanwhile another army
is moving southwark toward Mosul,
pursuing the defeated Turkish troops.
The Turks in this sector are now in
a perilous position, according TO unof-
fetal reports, which reached London
to-day. This leads to the belief that
their resistance will probably be short
er than was expected
Grand Duke Nicholas now has an
army vastly superior to the Turkish
force in the Lake Van district Con-
stantinople reports that the Russians
have three times as many men as the
Turks. While the Sultan's troops were
engaged in their counter stroke the
Grand Duke was massing men for a
new blow. He holds the upper hand
completely now.
When the conquest of the Lake Van
territory has been completed and that
victory does not seem far OF the Rus
slams can resume with impunity the
drive toward Sivas. That offensive al
ready has been renewed, with added
prospect of success.
The Russian official statement says:
"On the line extending from the
town of Kygi to Lake Van stubborn
fighting continues. Our troops. after
having occupied the town of Mush, ad-
vanced to the ridge of Hurst Dagu,
where we captured a number of pris-
oners.
"ln the direction Of Mosul we con-
tinue to pursue the remnants of the
4th Turkish Division"

TALE OF ANOTHER HUBBARD"
It's First Entrance Into Hawaii and the Eternal Favor Which 1t
 Gained Thereby.

There Is story, vouched for by an influence of the Mother Hubbard there.
 Years ago, the story goes, an Amer ican was organizing sewing class among the native Hawaiian women, At that time they gowned themselves in seaweed and strings of shells, and th' American wanted to teach them to make more substantial clothes for their own use. So she sent home to the United States and asked that 8 pattern of the simplest garment pos. sible be sent her-something so easy that even fingers that had never be- fore yielded a needle could follow it.
 The Mother Hubbard had but recent. ly made it's appearance, and a pattern of this new and simple garment was sent to the worker in Hawaii. Ha- waiian women by the score emerged from seaweed fringe into cotton Moth. CT Hubbards, and white cotton gown modelled on this famous original be. came practically the national femin. inc attire of the islands.
 To this day you cannot persuade native Hawaiian woman of the low. CT classes that the Mother Hubbard Is not the native dress of American women. They have never changed their habit of wearing a cotton Moth CT Hubbard as badge of civilization.
