Richmond Minister Makes Stirring
Appeal on Behalf of Prohibition al.i
Moral Laws.
Calling on the "forces of righteous
ness" to take an active hand in the
Encouragement of municipal affairs,
as the evil influence now declared to
be dominating Richmond can never
rid the city OF its vice and unlawful
liquor traffic, Rev. John A. Tate de-
livered sermon Sunday night to the
congregation Of the Cowardin Avenue
Christian church on "Can the Leopard
Change It's Spots?" He explained
the inability of a gigantic moving
force to halt it's motion without other
assistance. In part. he said:
"1f we confess that the mayor and
the police authorities have no DISPOSE
ton to cast out evil why demand that
the evil be corrected by those men?
They are fixed in their avenue of life;
to change in action and not in heart
is an impossibility. Remember the
divided house. The children of this
world are too wise Tor that.
"Nor will the ungodly citizenship
Of Richmond seek to have changed

stop praying in France because the
guillotine was before them? Did Dan

when he knew the edict was signed
He could not! Nor can the forces Of
evil stop when merely ordered to dc
so. They cannot arrest themselves.

SURROUND AUSTRIANS
Italians Press Hard After Retreating
Foe, Taking Heavy Toll = Defeat
Becoming DebacIe.

London, June 2j.-"The troops of
! Archduke Joseph and General Wurm
have been surrounded and must sur
render or they will be annihilated,"
the correspondent of the Gironale
d'Italia today wired from the front,
according TO an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch from Rome.
Earlier reports received overnight
! had emphasized the crushing manner
| in which the Austrians have been de-
teated. The magnitude Of the Ital-
ians victory grows more apparent
with every fresh report. The Aus
;rian retreat has been turned into
virtually a debacie.
Italian cavalry that crossed to the
eastern bank Of the Piave has pur-
sued the retreating Austrians merci-
lessly. Italian infantry divisions
pressed on close behind the cavalry
and the fleeing Austrians were given
no chance to reassemble their forces.
Thousands of Austrians have been
killed in their retreat The Italians
have advanced over ground literally
covered with bodies of Austrian sol
dierS. The Italians have rushed horse
artillery forward ar great speed and
:hc big guns have played havoc in
the ranks of the Austrians.
The latest report on the number of
prisoners taken by the Italians was
an unofficial dispatch from Rome
which stated that the prisoners now
totaled $4,000.
, The Piave is choked with enemy
dead and the debris of their equip
ment. The attempt OF the Austrian
war Office to represent the retirement
as voluntary is false. In only few
scattered places cos;:d the river be
forded and these were under con-
stant pounding by the italian artil.
ery and allied airmen. The handful
Of bridges also was peltered with
shells and air bombs.
It is positively established that the
anenN's losses are even greater in the
retreat than as Il direct result of the
Italian nter-offenSive.

MAY CALL MARRIED MEN
Wives Parents and Relatives Asked
About Ability to Support Them.

Washington, June 25-A new policy
in the United States apparently is de-
yeloping as a result of instructions
given local draft boards by the Pro-
yost Marshal Generai's Office to comb
our the deferred classifcations IN the
draft.
Many local boards are calling men
in Class a with dependent wives, but
no children, and questioning them as
to the ability of their wives to earn
suitable livelihood and as to the
ability Of the wife's parents or rela-
lives to support her properly. In
pine places every married man with
ut children has been called for re-
xamination. The boards have the
bower to summon the wife and her
relatives to testify as to the wife's
ability to work or of the ability and
willingness of her parents or other
relatives to take her back and support
her.
1t is understood that several loca!
boards have taken the position thai
wives capable of earning a good live
lihood and who have done so should
be removed as dependents and that
where parents are able and willing tc
care for their married daughters IL
cases where the husband is drafted
that the man should serve.
A ruling, Of General Crowder which
has led to this action is as follows
.'If registrant has wife but NJ
children and there are such othe
sources Of support available that tn
removal of the registrant will not de
prive the wife of reasonably adequat
support, lie goes in Class /, as no
being included in any other division
in the schedule"
Under this ruling some boards ar
holding that the parents of a regis
trans's wife may be called upon t
furnish the reasonably adequate SUP
port.

CANT SEARCH ON TRAIN
Decision of Police Judge of Alexan-
dria County in Case of Southern
Railway Conductor.


Virginia prohibition forces were
given a severe setback in Saturdays
decision of Police Judge William c.
Cloth, of Alexandria county, which
denied "dry" inspectors the right to
promiscuously search passengers on
trains leaving Washington for Viz
ginia. The opinion, if upheld by su-
perior courts, will prove a stumbling
block for prohibition agents who have
been searching passengers posses
sions after trains crossed the Potomac
into the Old Dominion.
The decision was rendered in the
case of J. c. Shellhorse, prohibition
inspector, who charged L. G. Royal, a
Southern Railway conductor, with
having impeded him from searching
baggage of passengers on train
leaving Washington.
Royal based his defense on an inter-
probation Of Federal law, which pro-
vided for specific warrants. He ex-
pressed his willingness to permit the
prohibition Inspector TO search any
person suspected Of smuggling liquor
into Virginia. but refused to allow a
general search o. all passengers on
presentation of warrant which did
not specify any particular suspect.
The testimony offered at the hear
ing showed that Shelihorse did not
carry out his threat 10 use force in.
the search after the conductor had
taken a resolute stand in defense OF
the rights of the travellers in his
charge.
Attorneys for Royal argued that the
prohibition law in effect prior to June
q required a specific warrant. Every
suspect and all possessions were to
be taken before the magistrate issu-
ing the warrant, the counsel for the
fense contended.
.Ater taking the case under advise
ment Judge Cloth rendered his de
cision, which upheld the conductor
The verdict has aroused the "drys" of
Alexandria county.

leases Lad on Probation, After Trial
en- Forgery Charge. ].
Petersburg. Va, June 25--In the
Hastings Court last week, Frank
Huckstep, Young white man, was
sentenced to the penitentiary for two
years Cor forgery. Yesterday, just
as he was about to be taken TO prison;
Judge Mullen suspended the sentence,
and placed the young naan on proba-
ton, giving him in charge of relatives.
Huckstep is nineteen. years old and
mas heretofore borne a good charac-
ter. It is stated that while employed
as clerk in hotel in Newport News,
Ben Little, a cook, also employed
there, placed some money in his hands
TO deposit in bank for him. Huckstep
claims that Little also gave him per-
mission to draw the money out OF
bank as loan if he wanted to DO so.
He did draw out most of the money
and was charged by Little with forg-
inc his name to the checks. None
of the young mans relatives knew of
his trouble until he wrote to his uncle
in Columbia, Va. The uncle promptly
came to Petersburg and interceded in
behalf Of the boy. asking that ne be
given chance to amend his life,
agreeing to pay al costs Of the trial
and restore Little's money to him.
This Judge Mullen agreed to do, and
therefore suspended the sentence. The
young man was taken back TO Colunl-
bia, under the promise to lead bet
ter life.
