Two Spirited Contests in Ward Caueuses
Last Evening.

Alderman J. p. Galleher was renomi
mated at the ward 4 caucus last evening
defeating g. II. Almon, whom Mr., Gale
her defeated by large vote two years
| ago. The name OF Alderman Gallehef
was placed before the voters by II. H.
Bailey, who set forth that Alderman
Galleher had tried to protect the city's
interests against the traction companys
franchise but that he was outvoted by
the mayors breaking the tie, lie also
spoke of Alderman Galleher's qualihca-
tions from experience ON .hc board
against new member. The name of
Mr.. Almon was presented to the voters
by Col. o. ID. Clark, who spoke of Mr..
Almon's success from n boy and how he
had advanced in prosperity through his
own efforts. The name of Mr.. Almon
was seconded by several men from the
ward. Mr.. Galleher's name was second.
ed by Charles McKenna and Mrs. o. II.
Richardson endorsed Alderman Galleher
as the best man for the place. Twenty,
eight women were factor in the fight,
although some of them voted for Mr. Al
mon. He gained over his vote of two
years ago by two votes, The result .of
the vote was; Total cast, 1874; necessary
for a choice, 90, OF which Mr. Almon had
70 and Mr.. Galleher 1906, and the latter
was declared nominated. Mr.. Almon did
not make the nomination unanimous, as
has been the custom for years in ward !.
In ward Alderman p. II. Ryan was
renominated to succeed himself. He will
be unopposed and, therefore, is sure of
the third term which breaks the unwrit-
ten law of two terms for an alderman.
However, If Mr.. Almon does not file NOM
nation papers Alderman Galleher will
enjoy the same honor. In the other /
wards there was little strife, excepting
in ward 9, where they voted until late at
night. In ward ! Alderman George ID,
Pitkin was nominated to succeed himself /
IN lnling out the unexpired term to which 1
he was elected when DR.. III. l.. Watson
resigned +. u. Field was nominated to
succeed himself as school commissioner,
while in ward II. j. NJ. Jones, although
lot a candidate for reelection, was again
nominated In ward DIR. p. l.. Temple
on was nominated TO succeed himself.
IN ward 6 there were also several women
'oters present. The result OF the first
,allot was: Carl Dudley, 50 A. w. Pres

CONFIDENCE MEN MAKE RICH GAIN
 UPON EAST SIDE

The old c. O. D. package game was worked successfully by gang of con fidence men upon the unsophisticated merchants of the East Side yesterday. The game cost one storekeeper $27, for which he holds 75 cent ring in security, and another shopkeeper handed out the sum of $66.66 without even turning 2 hair to the glib tongued gentlemen of leisure who introduced himself.
 Schawshen Magormy, of 555 Strat- ford avenue was busy yesterday after noon when a well dressed stranger en- tered his store and in a brisk business like manner informed the unsuspect- ing storekeeper that a c. O. D. pack age had arrived at his home across the street with $27 charges upon it. He had discovered that his wife had left the house to attend the matinee and had taken all the change in the place with her. Would he let him have the $27 for an hour or so and he would leave his diamond ring as se- curity? Of course, Magormy would oblige, had he not been in such a fix himself? So he handed over the money.
 The same tale was given to Carl J. Wolf, of 1052 East Main street by another member of the gang, who did not even put up a "phoney'' diamond but simply hypnotized the storekeeper into handing him $66.66.
 According to Captain B. O. Cronan, the method the men employed was for two of them to meet in a store se- lected for their game and both to make a trifiing purchase. One was to ask the other for job and would be told to come around to a certain address and go to work. The app1- cant remained behind and the alleged wealthy man would go out. In nearly every case the storekeeper would in- Quire who the other man was, and would be informed he was a wealthy contractor. The alleged contractor would thus have a credit and 9 great amount of respect established. He would return at another time and work his scheme.

MEN OF CRUISER
 MOST COURAGEOUS

Washington, July 20.---A statement issued today by Rear Admiral Pal mer, acting secretary of the navy, comments the exemplary conduct of officers and men of the San Diego citing particularly the courageous be- havior of Capt. Christy, who was the last to leave the ship.
 AS the ship was turning over the captain made his way over the side and jumped overheard. He and the executive officers were cheered by the men in the boats and as the cruiser went down the men sang the Star Spangled Banner"
 The statement disclosed that five or six mines were destroyed last night in the vicinity of the sinking and that no report has been received of a sub marine near there.
 That there was little if any loss of life is indicated by the fact that the ship was abandoned in good order.

(By the Associated Press.)
 Steady progress against increased enemy resistance, resulting in fighting of the flercest nature, attends further attacks by French and American forces on the front between the Aisne and the Marne.
 Around SoiSsons, on the north, the German defense is stiffening and the forward movement apparently is much slower than on Thursday, when the biggest gains of the day were made there. In the center and on the south, however, the Allied line has i, been advanced about two miles, mak- ing the average further progress about 1A miles.
 soissons still holds out, although 1t is believed that it's fall is certain. The Germans keep their troops south of the Marne, but withdrawal there becomes more certain as the Allies move forward northwest of Chateau Thierry.
 Gen. Mangin's advancing line which had a decided bulge south ot the Aisne, is strengthening out. On an eight mile front astride the OurcQ and Savieres, in the center, the Allie: have advanced more than two miles capturing important heights. Farther south the gain from around, NeuillJ St. Front to west of Chateau Thierry was not as great, but the Germans lost valuable positions.
 Officially it is declared that thu FrancoAmerican troops have captur ed in excess of 17,000 prisoners ana more than 360 guns. Unofficial re ports in Paris are to the effect tha the captures are much in excess o the official estimates. Much materia not yet enumerated, and many hun Sreds of machine guns also have beer taken.
 Berlin, apparently believing tn Allied offensive is in great strength tells of the repulse of efforts to breal through. Although denying the Al lies broke through, it admits that tn German lines have been driven bac and 1t was necessary to throw in larg reserves to keep the Allies fror making al large hole in the Germa defenses between the Aisne and tn Marne. No mention is made C American troops.
 Elsewhere on the Soissons-C Chatea Thierry-Rheins triangle the f1ghtin has died down. The situation her with the Allies holding firmly. depend on the outsome of the stroke on tn west. Berlins view of the f1ghhn khere is that the Germans had to pI flown strong Allied attacks on Thur dny. Seemingly. therefore, the Gel mans have given up further attempl

Sergeant Wilson Is
 Recruiting Officer

Sergeant H. J. Long, who has been in charge of the British recruiting station in the city for the last two months, will be replaced Monday by Sergeant R. S. Wilson.
 Sergeant Wilson is a member of the 14th Royal Montreal Regiment and is one of the veterans of Ypres. Dur ing one of the battles at Armentieres, Sergeant Wilson was wounded by a bayonet which was very serious con- sidering the fact that he was laid up for a year and a half, nine of the months being spent in the hospital. He was injured so bad by the bayonet that he was discharged from further military service. He enlisted in the Brieish-Canadian Recruiting Mission and came to the United States. Sergeant Wilson will remain in the city until the recruiting station closes August 10.

astride the Marne and they have not reacted against the French attack which drove them westward from Montvoisin.
 Further violent fighting is antici- pated in the battle triangle, as it is not improbable that the Germans will make every effort to nullify Gen. Foch's strategy and prevent the Allies from wiping out the salient between Soissons and Rheims, which becomes more gravely endangered as the French and Americans move forward The German offensive begun Monday is in bad way and the enemy will make furious attempts to save the reputation of the crown prince, al, ready seriously marred by the suc- cessful Allied counter blow. Berlin | says zO,OOC prisoners were taken in the four Lays beginning Monday
 The battle line is not yet clearly outlined, but runs nearly straight north from Torcy to Chauden, where 1t bulges northeastward toward sois- sons. The greatest gain has beer about seven miles on the north.
 In brilliant local operation ir Flanders Scottish troops have occu pied Meteran, which is on a neigh commanding a part of the Lys valley They took 300 prisoners. Just soutf Of Meteren Australian troops have ad vanced slightly and captured 80 Ger mans. On the other battle front there Is little activity. British avia tors have bombed German manufac turing cites in the Rhine district,
 The cause of the sinking of tn American cruiser San Diego off Lon Island is yet undetermined. It is no known whether any lives were lost Five persons are reported lost in tn sinking early this week off the Iris coast of the Cunard liner Carpathis
