BEN RUBIN TO BE
SENTENCED FRIDAY

was serving a three-years' sentence
for this crime at the Lorton reforma-
tory when he escaped July 10. last.
and came to this city, where he COM
mitted the Anderson robbery.
When Rubin was arrested by De-
tective W. B. Thompson for this theft
the driver of the patrol jokingly told
him he would be charged with the
murder OF Eva Roy. Rubin replied:
How do you know / didn't do 1t!
Later he declared he killed the girl,
but upon closer questioning denied
his guilt. A special grand jury of
Fairfax county indicted him for mur-
der September &c, last, but he was
acquitted November 10, last.
The confession" of Rubin post
poned the trial of Lou Hall, wood
cutter, who also was charged with
the murder. Hall was tried last

not agree on a verdict.

jury in Justice Siddons' court, Ben
Rubin, who some months ago created
a sensation by making confession"
of having murdered fourteen-year-old
Eva Roy last July 6, near Burke's
Station, Va, will be sentenced Friday.
The testimony in the larceny trial
showed that Rubin made 1t a practice
last summer to go to the Tidal Basin
where he searched the clothing OF
bathers. This became known when
the detectives recovered property by
means of pawn tickets found on-him-
Among the articles thus recovered
were several watches, owned by Haw-

PROPAGANDA PROBE
TSFOR HOLIDAY

Senate propaganda probers today
took a holiday after its sharp session
with Samuel Untermyer. There are
prospects of another busy day to-
morrow, when District Attorney
Becker. of New York city. Is to testify.
A communication from Bradford
Merrill, editor OF the New York
American. protesting against some of
the testimony referring to alleged
employees OF Hearst papers, was read
into the record.
Merrill wrote that Edward Lyell
Fox, previously mentioned as a writer
of German propaganda, was never
employed by Hearst, and that there
was no record that Marshall Kelly
had been so employed. Kelly had
been previously referred to by Cap
tain Lester.
Replying to Merrilrs letter. Lester
submitted anidavits which, he said,
showed Fox was given credentials
from the Hearst papers when he went
to Europe. Much Information regard

US. .EMPLOYESASK
! 2TRANSFER POINTS

A dozen representatives of workers
at the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, representing 1000 en-
ployes, have filed petition with the
Public Utilities. Commission asking
that some relief be granted to the
employees of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing in the matter of uni
versal transfers.
The petitioners ask for universal
transfers at two points, Twelfth
street and Pennsylvania avenue
northwest Fourteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue northwest.
In asking for intercompany trans
fers at Twelfth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue between the Capital
Traction Company and the Washing
ton and Virginia lines, Il Is explained
that this would materially relieve the
congestion on the Fourteenth street
line of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company by diverting large
portion of the traffic over the Wash
ington and Virginia lines to the Ave-
nue. at Twelfth street. Under the
present method the major portion OF
the traffic Is over the Washington
Railway and Electric lines to Penn
sylvania avenue.
That the plan would be feasible Is
shown by the fact that a great many
cars of the Washington and Virginia
line en- route to the city in the after
noon pass the bureau practically
empty. Traffic is heaviest 81 this
time, and by diverting a portion OF II
through the granting of intercompany
transfers II would be possible to re.
Iieve the public Of what Is believed
by the petitioners an unfair discrimi-
nation, and the paymnet of the cents
for transfers."
According to the figures furnished
the Public Utilities Commission dur
ing the recent hearing for scent
fares, employees of the bureau bought
225, 900 2-cent transfers in a period
Of eight months.

Tuesday. july p

French and Americans have cross
ed the Marne over a front of II miles
between Jaulgonne, seven miles east
of Chateau-Thierry, and Reuil, near
where the German line crossed the
stream during the days when the
German offensive was at its height.
On the western flank of the Ger
man salient, the allies have taker
chy-le-Chateau, a mile north Of
Ourcq, and just west of Nanteuil-
Notre Dame, dominating point in
the German line Of communications.
They have also captured the town of
Buzancy, seven miles south of Sois-
sons, which bring them up to a ra-
vine that stands between them and
the heights to the eastward of Sois-
sons.
On the front between Rheims and
the Marne the British have taken
Petitchamp wood near Marfaux,
where they took the places formerly
held by the Italian forces.
News of these successes by the al
lies comes in unofficial London ad-
vices. 1t also reports that in spite of
the fact that only artillery duels
were reported from the French war
Office in its day statement the al
lies are making important prog
ress all around the salient in which
the Germans were caught by the ter
rife attack of the allies on Thurs
day morning.
At 8:15 o'clock this morning the
French launched an attack along a
four-mile front in the Montdidier
sector. In three hours they had ad.

attack was over a wider front thar
