B Y s it Exat of Rerea - From Dunajec to San. Léndon, May 27, 12:12 p. m.—Not- thstanding the superb weather the gontenders in the western ‘arena of ostilities, realizing the terrible losses en an insignificant advance entails, ye reverted, generally speaking to ¥ tréench warfare of the winter, and it is Galicia in the east, the Darda- nelles, and perhaps the Iialo-Austrian fréntier which are most likely to fur- . mish spectacular developments during ‘the next fortnight. ' The Russians at last have admitted [\ithe extent of their retreat from the | Duynajec to the San, and while they f brotess that the Austro-German rush A8 beén held up and that Przmysi is 'mo danger, they pay tribute to the impetus and spirit of the advance of thelr antagonists at the same time piihat they laud the smoothness of the sian retirement. which théy -are ling ‘as masterly as that of the al- from IMons. - Bringing Up Reinforcements, ! Out of breath after their eastward spurt, the Germans and Austrians are now bringing up reinforcements ahd ‘frésh ammuntion and another great * battle will be fought to determine “whether the new lines to which the 'Russians have fallen back are tenable.

Henolulu, T. H., May 27.—The use of air to lighten the submarine boat F-4 in the final effort to drag the dis- abled war vessel to the dry dock, prob- ably will be resorted to it was said yesterday. ‘Work of raising the submarine boat, which contains the bodies of the crew who lost their lives when the craft went to the bottom, was halted tem- porarily yesterday by a heavy swell which parted two of the lines attached io the hulk. A scow will be brought alongside the submarine boat when it is raised to receive the bodies or tne crew. Orx- ders have been issued excluding the Dublic from the scene when the bodies are removed. % The F-4 has now been dragged within 260 yards off the‘harbor en- trance and lies only forty feet below 1he surface. REJECTED LOVER KILLS WOMAN AND HIMSELF Hazel Willins of Stamford, Shot After She Gels Divorce Papers. Stamford, May 27.—Angered be- ‘cause Hazel May Wilkins, aged 28, and pretty, had spurned his offer of marriage, Joseph Hennesik, 45 years léd considerably thelr line éast of No Important Engagements. Ttaly and Austria are now engaged the familar roles of fssuing con- dictory official communications rel- ve to the border fighting, but it is imed that theré have been as vet important engagements. Of the 250 il of common frontier between [t8ly and Austria, it is estimated that ¥ ‘one-fifth is of a character for eritical military operations and Italy's wf8rces now in the fleld are following course dictated by géographical cqssity, one army driving toward ¢ River Isonzo and Triest, and the ther into the Tyrol, where the rough ntry precludes any decisive .en- ements at so early a date. ondon was but little disturbed at rald.last night of a eZppelin air- iip at South End.

He left three notes telling of his contemplated ac- tion. One, addressed to Miss Wilkins said:’ “As we cannot be happy in this world, we will be happy in another.

Mrs. Corin Mathers, a dressmaker, who .lived in the same apartments with Miss Wilkins, witnessed the lat- ter part of the tragedy. She told the police last night that Miss Wilkins did net welcome Hennesik’s atten. tione, and on Saturday had requested him not to see her any more. Heénne- sik also lived in the -.same block, which was rénted by Miss Wilkins, and she asked him to leave. Yesterday Hennesik packed all his belongings in & trunk, and wrote the notes. He tald Mrs. Mathers he was going to leave, and asked if he might not see Miss Wilkins before he went. She told him that she was not feeling well, but that Miss Wilkins would see him at the door for a moment. Soon afterwards, Mrs, Mathers heard a scream, and the sound of revolver shotd, She rushed to Miss Wilkins' room in time to see Hennesik shoot- ing himself. 3 Hennesik was employed at a local store and Miss Wilkins worked at a candy shop. Little is known of either party here. Coroner Phelan of Bridgeport will conduct an ifguest to- day. UNEMPLOYED PUT ., . POLICE TO ROUT Wiehita "Officers Olash \With Men .

It was Mrs. Moskowitz, then Mrs. | Charles Israels, who closed up ' the | dance hall dives of the East Side when | these were a menace to the working | girls and the children of the slums | and put such notorious resorts as the | old Haymarket out of business.

Meanwhile the proprietors of the tango palaces are in a state of panic. Promptly at 2 o’clock yesterday morn- ing the lid was clamped down.

Orders were also issued to ‘‘cub the rough uff.” In some of the larger places there were few people. Kellys Have Family Reunion. Meanwhile the Kelly case as such has practically dropped off the boards. Miss Kelly spent yesterday with her mother and sister. Mrs. Kelly made a request that reporters please consider the case as closed. She is being inun- dated with letters of congratulation. It now develops that Miss Kelly was not induced to sign more than one promissory note, so thab her estate would be involved but little, even if that note were collectible. George J. Gillespie made that statement vester- day. The girl's jewelry, has yet to be found, but that will be returned ~in | due time it is thought. e Al Davis, Bonnie Glass and others of the set with whom Miss Kelly chummed are still missing from their Broadway haunmts.

Nor is Miss Kelly wanted. “Good things are good things so! long as they go right,” declaréd the mangger of one resort just east of Broadway last night; “that is until they go wrong. You sée Sweeney’s went the limit until some one lifted one ‘of the Belmont boys. Then you know what happened.

It is the same law that closed the once disorderly Haymarket., The situation is bad, but not new. “It is not in the night dance halls that the real danger lies; ‘it is the day dance that has: done the most harm. It is to these dances that young girls go without chaperons:. From the afternoon dance it is easy to graduate to the night dances. Young mar- ried women, left to their own re- sources during the day while their ‘husbands are at business, are in par- ticular dafiger. “The police say that they cannot get evidence,” was suggested. Committee Has Evidence, ““The committee has obtained evi- dence that it will be glad to present to the commissioner. Some member of the comittee will probably call on the acting mayor tomorrow.and lay This will be done not\so much to'begin a crusade agdinst any particular place, but to bring about a conference of the heads to the city departments, to the end comprehensive scheme of action may be worked out. “This Kelly case has done good in bringing the attention of the fathers and mothers of this city to the dan- their children. the poorer quarters of the city.

Oh, yes, they travel in style sometimes. Who pays for it is another story. “Just now the dives are tightening up. But thaey will reopen. There is no limit to the crimes committed in or planned in these places. Why, one crime expert tells me that $40,000 will not cover the amount of the robberies in one hotel that maintains a bac® room tango parlor. That place is in Just now it is closed. There you could see them snuffing coke openly and passing the stuff around to all who may wish to partake. y. Easy for Pickpockets, “If you could get hold of ‘squeal book’ at headquarters would get a small idea of the amount of robberies that are committed. At that not one in ten robberies gets into it. The victims dare not com- plain. It is easier for the.a to pocket their losses. ““That makes it easy for the pick- pockets and other thieves and gang- /the you | sters from the underworld of this amd other big cities that ean dance to reap an easy haryest. It is easy to lift a jewel or pick a pocketbook. And you seldom can sece a gangster that is not a dancer. “This craze for dancing has got so into contact with men who ordinarily would be shooed away from their back doors. Remember the tango burglar that got shot? There are lots of them that have not been shot or even complained of. Work all Games. “These crooks work ‘every type of robbery. The badge game and black- mail are good. bunches is that the pickings here are better than in any other place in the country. New York has more rich girls to be trimmed than any other city. ‘dChere are hundreds of girls in this town with §100 or $150 a week pin money and , as much more as they can coax of ‘“Pay’ and they are easy marks for these social gangsters, who are more dangerous . than gun- men, because they plunge these girls into ‘moral bankruptey. Have Women Working. “A lot of these men have women working for them, not on the streets, but around the hotels and dance places, picking up men to be fleecea in card games or in other ways. These lads can be seen around any of the tango places. Those are the sort of persons Mrs. Moskowitz has in mind when she says the police can get evidence. B “Close the dumps? Of course the police can do it. All they have got to do is to crack the whip, and, bang! the shutters are up. If you doubt fit, look at the way the dives closed up last night, or rather, this morning. Why, even the so-called clubs went Eight Tango Clubs. “There are eight gf these tango clubs according to the records at Police headquarters. ,All are incor- porated and some bear fancy names. Members of the exclusive Fifth avenue set will be interested to know that one of these clubs 1s known as the "Metropolitan club. Julius Rosenthal, Deputy Commis- sioner of Licenses, sald yesterday that no license is issued for dancing until the police have approved of the application. O’Brien Has Oomp‘a.lln. The tango scandal and the Kelly case were given a tinge of comedy yesterday by the complaints of Jay O’Brien that he had been unfairly dealt with by some newspapers using his name in connection with Al Davis and Miss Kelly. “I haven't had anything to say or do with Davis for months,” he de- clared, “and I never even spoke to the Kelly girl. I knew her by sight as a pretty girl. That was all.
