In this day’s fighting | there were captured sixty-five officers more than 2,500 soldiers, three cannon and two machine guns. “On May 16 the attack was renewed along the whole line. The Austrians captured a position on the eastern end of Folgaria Plateau which, accord- ing to an Italian order a copy of which was found, was designated as one of the chief points of resistance, to be defended to the utmost. In the Ter- ragnola Valley points of support which up until that time had been defended stubbornly were captured. “Austro-Hungarian troops advanced everywhere on May 17. They cap- tured territory to a depth of seven kilometres (more than four miles). At some points the victorious troops crossed the Ttalian frontier and at other points they advanced close to the border. “In order to appreciate the signi- ficance of these successes it must be remembered that the fighting is going ing in altitude as muchk as one thou- sand metres per kilometre. The moun- tains are still partly covered with snow and the transportation of sup- plies is exceedingly difficult.” Germans Concede Losses, British Headquarters in France, May 23, Via.

REFEREE FAVORS A DIVORCE FOR VICAR Wife Charged With Infidelity Was Prominent Atlanta and Washington Society Circles New York, May 23.—An action for a divorce begun several months ago by the Rev Charles B. Ackley, vicar of St Bartholomew’s church, in East Forty-second street, came to light yesterday by the filing of a report by Phoenix Ingraham, the referee ap- pointed by the court to take testi- mony in the suit. The report recom- mended that a divorce be granted, but Justice Giegerich of the supreme court reserved decision. Mr. Ackley hails from Wisconsin and a' member of a family famous for their works as pioneers and mis- sionaries. He came to this city as the curate of Grace church and devoted much of his time to the education of poor boys and to settlement work. Then he was made an assistant to the Rev. Dr- Leighton Parks, rector of St. Bartholomew’s church. For a time before coming here he was Archdeacon of Oriente, Cuba. Mrs. Ackley was Henrietta L. Owsley, and they were married at Atlanta, Ga., in December, 1907. Mrs. Ackley and her mother, Mrs. Lucy Owsley, are well known in their home city and in Washington, D- C. Mrs. Ackley is the Niece of General John B. Gordon, a former senator and gov- ernor of Georgia. Among her close friends were Mi Theodora Shonts and the latter’s sister, the Duchesse de Chaulnes- All the papers in the cluding the referee's report were sealed. It was said, however, that the co-respondent was Sam Charles, a wealthy man whom Mrs. Ackley is alleged to have met in Genoa, while she was traveling abroad for her in action in- health- Dr. Ackley lives at- 126 Claremont avenue. CHAPLIN LOSES Court Not A Bit Amused, Y'Know, ‘When Charlie’s Suit For Injunction Is Heard. New York, May 23.—Charlie Chap- lin yesterday lost his suit to prevent the Vitagraph-Lubin-Selig-Essanay interests from showing his “Burlesque on Carmen.” Chaplin who recently signed a new contract at a figure nearly nine times the §$75,000 salary of the president of the United States, asserted his old producers had padded out the film so that its exhibition would injure his standing. Justice Hotchkiss of the Supreme Court denied an injunction on five grounds. They were: The plaintiff’s right to enjoin the production because he has not ap- proved of the play is doubtful. The play itself is undoubtedly the property of the Essanay Film Manu- facturing compan The facts do no: justify the claim that the association of the plaintiff’s name with the play as produced amounts to a fraud on the public. Whether the plaintiff will suffer any damage from the production is problematical, while an injunction would certainly work considerable loss to the defendants. MANSDAUGHTER CHARGED. Hartford Man, Whose Auto Boy, Is Bound Over. Hartford, May 23.—Georga J.
