That event is likely soon to he followed by the pronouncement of a‘“united and semi-autonomous Po- : 14nd, embracing not only the territory Wrested from the Russian but the Austrian crownland of Galicia. i 4 Meantime. the Russian armies are fighting their way backward toward Russia proper, inflicting blows on the invaders wherever possible, trying o fend them off the raillways running north and south, in order that . the | ends of the German nippers may not .meet and, in closing bring disaster to ussian arms. Matter of Solicitude. The position of the army of Grand ! Duke Nicholas now is a matter of solicitude, ag the occupation 'of War- | saw is believed to be a prelude to the greatet purpose of enveloping the retreating forices. Petrograd reports show the Grand uke has retired to the right bank ot ‘the Vistunla both at Warsaw and Ivangorod destroying the bridges at both. points, and contesting the Ger- man advance across the river, Back of the retiring Russians i3 ' the vast moarass of Central Poland .with few railways . and primitivs roads, making virtually impossible » gduick, movemerit of guns and sup- plies, while ‘back of Warsaw, ths only fortress available ‘as a rallying point for the Russians is Brest-Lit- ovsk. Thus the Russians are menaced by Gen. Von Buelow’s columns hend= ing southward and by Field Marshal on .Mackensen’s southern army ending northward. TIvangorod Captured. ' The fall of Ivangorod proper, fore- cast in the Russian retirement from the west of the city, is officially re- ported today in ibulletins both from Berlin and Vienne. The.occupation of Warsaw now is centering attention on a series of im- portant events that are being ar- ranged. First will be the selection of a.German governor.

SCOTT TO CONFER WITH MEXICAN LEADERS Chief of Staff of U. S. Army Leaves Washington Tonight. { 1 ‘Washington, Aug. G.'—Major Geen- eral Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the United States army, accompanied by Lieut. Col. Robert E. L. Michie, a member of the general staff, will leave Washington at 6 p. m. today for E1 Paso, Tex. to confer with Gen- eral Francisco Villa and other revo- lutionary leaders there regarding the Mexican situation. The six Latin-American diplomats working with the American govern- ment to bring peace to Mex- ica had a series of conferences at the Argentine embassy today before they resumed their conference at the state department. They covered their | deliberations with the same secrecy as was thrown about yesterday’s meeting. Today’s meeting was expected to de- velop a line of actidn which the Latin- | Ameticans will submit to their home | sovernments, and, if they agree, all | the nations of Nortn and South | America will be asked for their ap- proval. General Carranza’s refusal to meet, the other factions in a peace confer- ence was the first obstacle to be dis- posed of, Secretary Lansing conferred. with Bragadier General Scott, chief of staff of the army, and Assistant Secretary | Preckinridge. Their meeting revived a report that General Scott might be chosen to persuade Carranza of the necessity of yielding. Such a sugges- tion submitted to cretary Lansing some time ago has not been, acted upon. The Latin-American diplomats are understood to favor for president of Mexico some man who will represent the great majority of Mexico's inhabi- iants who are not fighting under any military leader. Secretary Lansing satd that there might be some public announcement tonight, dependent upon developments. | A long telegram’ from Jesus Acuna, minister of foreign affairs in the Car- ranza cabinet, was forwarded to Sec- retary Lansing today by Carranza’s | Washington agents. It is said 8,000 additional troops were encamped in strategic points about Mexico City. “Yesterday,” the telegram sald, “‘General Gonzales advanced the mer- chants a half million dolars to pay salaries and for other disbursements. | All stores are now reopened ang there is general lowering of prices.” , It is considered likeiy that one of the first results of the conference will be a final appeal to all the Mexican factional leaders to accommodate their differences and restore peace. This probably will be sent n a few days, The message to Carranza will ask | that he lay down his arms and join | with his adversaries in setting up a States. recognize. It will insist that answer within a stipulated time. | The character of the final plans for | restoration of peace depends largely on Carranza’s response. I will | he | BRITISH STEAMER SUNK.

Bernard Montvid is dead. The ac- complice of Peter Krakas who assist- ed in the atrocious murder of Rev. Joseph Zebris and Eva Gilmanaitis on February § expiated his crime at the end of the hangman’s noose in the state prison at Wethersfield shortly after midnight this morning and the curtain was rung down on the stage of life for the young des- perado who has held the spotlight in the drama of crime. The condemned man went to his death in a cool man- | ner, protesting his innocence to the | end. Led oy Rev. O. T. Magnell, the prison chaplain, Montvid entered the death chamber at 12.06:20 o’clock and the trap was sprung which sent him to meet his God and Creator at 12:06:41. Dr Fox, the prison physi- cian, officially pronounced him dead at 12:18 o’clocky,./His ‘lifeless form was lowered into:a oiemn black cof- fin and the remains were taken in charge by Smith & Son who will inter them today in Mt. St. Benedict's cemetery at the expense of an anony- mous friend. Protests Innocence. The condemned man walked to the scaffold in a brisk manner with his arms pionioned to his side. The fea- tures were of a ghastly pallor as he entered the chamber. He gazed which dangled at the =nd of the rope which was to send him into eternity. The chaplain slowly offered a prayer which those in attendance could hear Montvid slowly | repeating as he entered the death house. As he neared the rope and as the straps were being adjusted about his knee and ankles, Montvid said in | a manner which denoted that he was ! resigned to his fate, “Good-Bye Father” and followed this with “Not Guilty,” in a tone that was even more distinct than his farewell to his spir- itual adviser. It was a second after that that the signal was given by Warden ‘Garner ;and the ’-hpdy was shot into the air. As it came back toward the floor there was a slight twitching of the lower limbs. This lasted only for a moment, however. After the prison physician had pro- nounced him dead the coffin which contained a handsome silver plate on which was inscribed, “Bernard Mont- vid, Died August 6,” bore the re- mains away. iis Last Day on Earth. Montvid arose shortly aftet 6:30 o'clock yesterday which was some- what later than what he had been ac- customad to get up. He busied him- self with his toilet until the arrival of breakfast of which he partook with a relish. He sa: for several hours with his head in his hands as | | which in a brief few hours he was to forfeit. his life. | He had been somewhat disconsolate | on the nor-arrival of any word from | his brother, Anton, of Chicago, who had been his best friend since he be- came entangled in nis plight, but shortly before 11 o’clock a letter ar- rived ahd when the guard handed it to the condemned man he hastily opened it and read it hungrily several times. When he had completed ab- sorbing the contents of the missive, tears came .to his eyes. This was the | first time that he had betrayed any | emotion. At dinner he again ate heartily and | when the guard informed him that he : was soon to leave the prison ward for his trip to the death house the con- demned man did not betray any signs of concern- Makes Startling Admission. In the arrival at death house he | was assigned to cage No. 1 and the death watch was placed over him. Father Magnell arrived at the prison early in the afternoon and began final preparations for the end. He talked | earnestly with the prisoner in regard | to the existence of the “Red Hand so- ciety,” which both Montvid and ! Kr: had maintained throughout | thrir trials wi instrumental in plan- ning the murder of the priest and his | housek=eper Father Magnell rea- | soned with Montvid to tell the-truth it snch was the case. The unfortunate man at first was ybdurate and continued to assert | that the society was responsible for | the double murder, but shortly after 4 o'clock he showed signs of weaken- ing in regard to the subject and a few further questions on the part of the priest, and the truth was out.

Mr. Willis was called upon and tes- tified that he was practically a life | | long resident of New Britain. 1 granted a license he would conduct | the place propertly. Asked whether Isadore Simons, the late licensee, was in any way connected with the hote) Mr. Willis replied in the negative, ex- cept as the owner of the property and the lessor. Judge Kirkham in summing up for hotel was one of the-largest in the city with an established business. He consid- cred Mr. Willis a suitable person to | operate the place and felt that no good reason existed why a license should not be granted him. The commissioners called for remon- strants but none replied and the hear- ing closed, the commissioners stating that they would make known their decision in due time. ERIE FLOOD SECTION “Scribe” Sheots Alleged Rob- ber of House Abandoned By Occupants. Erie, Pa., Aug. 6.—Troopers of the State Constabulary patrolied the flood section today and increased forces of | workers, in their search for bodies, went further into the masses of wreck- | age piled along Mill Creek byTues- day night's flood. i “Sensational rumors of looting dur- | g the night kept the police busy, and early today it became known that | Guy Fowler, a reporter vn the Erie Despatch, had shot a man who was alleged to have been sven taking ar- ticles from @ house that hai been | abandoned by its occupants, The man | was later taken to a hospital. - He had | been shot in the shoulder but his con- aition was not dangerous. Other re- | yorts of looting could not be verified. An order to the constabutaiy and the prolice was to suppress rioiing with a stern hand. Efforts to relieve the distress con- tinued. A citizens’ committee has been formed to care for those in ac- tual want and more tnan 400 were fed in the rescue station on State | Street during the night. <The armory housed many of the homeless and | private houses cared for many others. Additional offers of pecuniary as- ! sistance from outside sources came in, Lut the ‘committee deciined all of them, with the assurance that the city could take care of its destitute. C. A. Emerson, Jr., acting chlef en- gineer, and his assistants sent here by the state board of health, raced a hard problem in their efforts ro keep down disease. ,In addition to the bodies of | human beings believea to be in the debris, it was thought that numbers of cattle, hogs and sheep had been caught in the flood, anc their decay- ! ing bodies would soon become a menace. The ripping up of sewers and the destruction of the sanitary system throughout the damagea arca caused the engineers to bend tieir first ef- | forts in that direction while inocula- tion against typhoid fever was car- ried on with the assistance or the city ; health authorities. Ten funerals were to rake place to- day, and several tomorrow. S8ix of the fifteen persons reportea missing have been located and their names taken from Coroner Hanley's list. PAY TRIBUTE TO MRS.
