Yours For: Low Prices I'S BESIEGE PRESIDENT WILSON Two Philadelphia Women After Long Wait to See Chief Executive Depart Disappointed. Washington, May 7.—President Wil- son was besieged in the White House vesterday by Mrs. Lawrence Lewis, jr., and Mrs. Harry Lowenburg, two Philadelphia woman suffragists, who refused to accept word from secre- taries that the president would be unable to receive a delegation of suf- fragists when he goes to Philadelphia Monday to address several hundred newly naturalized citizens. After a long wait the two suffra. gists discovered President Wilson had left for the golf links and they de- parted, promising to return when the president did and renew their vigil They returned to the White House at 5 o’clock, but were told again that it was impossible for the president to see them. They said they would re- turn today. Later they went to the state department to see Secretary Bryan, but the secretary was engaged with the Chinese minister, GERMA.. VICTORY REPORTS UNFOUNDED Statement From Russian Minister of | Foreign Affairs Defeat of Czar's Forces. Whashington, May 7.—The Russian embassy yesterday received the fol- lowing dispatch from the Russian minister of foreign affairs: “Petrograd, May 5, 1915. “The reports from Berlin and Vienna of a victory gained by the Germans and Austrians in = ‘Western CGalicia are absolutely unfounded. The battles that are proceeding now in that region give no foundation whatever to talk even of a partial suc- cess of our enemies. You are asked to contradict most emphatically the reports spread by the Germans. “(Signed) SAZANOFF.” Denies Crushing MIQUELON ARCHIPELAGO May Be Annexed to Newfoundland at Close of War. St. Johns, N.. F., May 7.—The pos- sibility that the Miquelon archipelago, the last north American possession of France, may be annexed to New- foundland at the. close of the Euro- pear war is being given serious con- sideration in this colony. The little islands of St, Pierre, Miquelon and Langlade, a short distance off the south coast of Newfoundland, have forced for two centuries ‘the advance base for the French codfishery on the grand banks. In recent years the prosperity of the tiny colony has steadily diminished and all possibil- ity of industrial progress for some time to come was destroyed when the French government, in February last, summoned all the able-bodied men in the islands to the colors. The town of St. Pierre, where most of the colonists live, is now inhabited only by aged men, women and chil- dren, It is considered probable that such of the conscripts as survive the war will be reluctant to return to a struggling existence in the colony and will seek wider opportunities .in France. Since bait fishing by the French has been largely supplanted by steam trawlers, the usefulness of the fisheries outpost has become. slight, It is the opinion of many New- fcundlanders, therefore, that France will find it to her advantage to turn the islands over to Newfoundland, in return for fishing facilities in 'these waters. WEBB-KENYON LIQUOR LAW. To Be Tested in Case Before Supreme Court Today. Washington, May '7.—The first case involving the constitutionality and construction of the Webb-Kenyon liquor law, by which congress sought tY divest liquor intended for use in olatlon of state laws of its inter- state character, was up for argument today before the supreme court.

Similar transportation of Hquor into West Virginia was con- cerned in another case which had been advanced to be heard with the Kentucky case. Cases of a llke na- ture have arisen in Oregon, Delaware, Mississippi, Tennessee, Iowa, Texas, Alabama, Kansas, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia, DELAY MOTHER'S FUNERAL. Hartford Youths Demand $6,000 from Stepfather, Hartford, May 7,—Shortly before sundown' yestérday, the body of Mrs. Shaia D.

TO SHARE CAMPBELL ESTATE, Decides Mrs. Burkham Daughter of Millionaire, St. Louis, Mo. May 7.—A unani- mous verdict in favor of the defend- ants in tthe Campbell wiil case was returned by the jury in the circuit court here last night. The verdict de- ciares Lois Campbell, now Mrs. Elzey Burkham, to be 'the daughter of James Campbell and, therefore, en- titled to half of his $16,000,000 estate, willed her by Campbell. Upon application of lawyers for the defense, Circuit Judge Kinsey, imme- diately after the verdict was returned, ajsmissed the entire case, thereby de- nying the contestants the right to a trial upon their Aallegations that Campbell was of unsound mind and that he was unduly influenced in mak. ing the will by members of the church to which the property eventually would go after the death of his wife and daughter. The contestants have four days in which to apply for a re- hearing.
