Berlin, July 30, via London.—The strong defensive of the Germans, says the official statement issued today, had an influence on the FEntente artillery in Flanders which yesterday did not attain the strength maintain- “ed on previous days. German troops are through the Suthawa valley, in thes Austrian province of Bukowina, towards the town of Seletyn, it was announced today by the general staff.

Portland, Ore., July 30.—By mak- ing of himself a sledge on the snow clad upper slopes of Mount Hood, Elijah Coalman, forestry service out- look on the mountain, brought to safety Hans Fuhrer, a badly injured mountain guide, who is in a hospital ‘here today and may recover. Fuhrer had guided a party of men and women to the summit 11,000 feet up. When a mile from the top on the descent Fuhrer fell on the sharp blade of an axe, sustaining a serious wound in the abdomen. Coalman had been watching the party through a glass from the sum- mit and saw the accident. He slid, coasted and plunged down the inter- vening mile in a few minutes. With other members of the party he hastily stanched Fuhrer’'s wound. Then throwing himself flat on nms back, he drew Fuhrer on his body and directed those in the party to attach a rope to his feet.

San Francisco, July 30.—The pres- ence of American troops on the eastern front would be fatal to Ger- many, according to General Michael Yassukovich, chief of a Russian mili- tary commission, who was here today. “If America will send 100,000 men to Russia she will furnish an army ‘which will be the nucleus of a Russian army of a million men that may be grouped with fatal results to Ger- many,” declared General Yassukovich. “Germany will not be able to faces such a combination in the eastern theater while France, Great Britain and America press her in the west. There is no doubt that splendid Rus- sian armies of a million men each, or- ganized, stiffened and encouraged by the presence of your troops, can be built up on’the foundation of each 100,000 Americans sent to our front.”* General Yassukovich is occompanied by a staff of four officers and a sec- retary. He is to go to Washington. PERSONAL TAX DUE Soldiers and Sailors, Not Enlisted on October 1, 1916, Must Pay Their $2 Rules Collector Eiliott. Personal tax delinquents are to be prosecuted early this year and Col- lector Charles J. Elliott stated this morning that he will give these de- linquents just one more wéek In which to pay up. If they do not pay, their names will be handed to the prosecuting attorney for prosecution. An added item of interest in this connection is the tax collector’s state- ment that many of the men now in the federal service must pay tiheir personal taxes. It has generally been understood, unofficially, by these men, that by enlisting in the army or navy they were automatically - exempted from having to pay this personal tax. This is a wrong idea, Collector Elliott declares, and, he states, any man who was not enlisted in the federal serv- fee on Octebér 1, 1916, will have to' pay his personal tax. This is because the tax which 1is: advancing'[mow due is not the 1917 tax, but thes tax for last year, LENINE - DISAPPEARS Russian Agitator May Have Escaped From Country and Returned to Germany by Way of Stockholm. Petrograd, July 30.—Nikolai Len- ine, peace agitator and alleged Ger- man spy has disappeared from his usual haunts in Petrograd and his ' whereabouts is not known to the authorities. The stories published in the United States that he had been seized by the police at Ozerki, Fin- land, on July 24 and that later he had escaped during a battle between government agents and anarchists at Tornea, Finland, are said by the officials to be untrue. A vague story was current in Pe- trograd July 28 that the suspected Teuton agent had fled from the capital to Kronstadt, that he had been smuggled through Finland to Stockholm and already had reached Germany. No official confirmation of this report could be obtained. An- other rumor current here yesterday was that Lenine was operating in Stockholm. ARE CONN. WOMEN SLACKERS? Secretary Houston Warns Against ‘Waste in Fruit and Vegetables, ‘Washington July 30.—Reports from 24 states showing large surplus of perishable fruit and vegetables with . loss prompted the issuance of a state- ment by Secretary Houston today urging the women of the country to respond immediately to President Wilson’s appeal to save products. The states particularly affected in- clude Connecticut, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Isind and Vermont. “In order to avold this waste,” said the statement ‘“there must be immediate, organized, intelligent energy expanded in canning, preserv- ing, pickling, drying and storing these products for location affected. ly. No federal or state governmental organization can solve it without the action of the women themselves in every city and town.” EXEMPTION BOARDS CHANGED. Hartford, July 30.—Governor Hol- comb today received from President Wilson the following appointments to exemption boards to provide for retiring because of the fact that he was under the 31 year age limit; Dr. H.

The men will re- turn to work at once. The agreement provides that the switchmen are to return to work with- out prejudice or loss of seniority. The settlement followed a series of conferences during the night, the last being a meeting of the conference committee of seven grand officers rep- resenting the Order of Railway Con- ductors, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engheers and' Brotherhood of Loco- motive Firemen and Enginemen, the latter representing the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. 3 This conference lasted for two hours, after which the vital questions at issue were disposed of and ' the agreement was taken to James Mur- dock, vice president of the Brother- hood of Railway Trainmen, who acted for the switchmen. He assented to the agreement and word was sent out for the men to return to work. i No Closed Shop Rule. Accarding to a joint statement made by the conferees the closed shop, which was claimed by the railroad managers to have been a primary causé for the calling of the strike ceases to be an issue, it being stated that “matters at issue are to be settled without the adoption of a closed shop rule or of any rule that might fairly be considered as equivalent to such.” The meal period question is to be settled by a commission of eight, meeting in New York. Appointment of yardmasters, rein- statements and employment of new men are to be'settled by a board con- sisting of seven representatives of.the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the managers’ conference committee representing the railroads. Many minor issues are vet to be settled, but arrangements were made for further meetings tomorrow at which time they will be taken up. According to a statement last Friday by Mr. Murdock representing the switchmen, no contention was made for a closed shop. The rules in dispute, he asserted, included the question of preference to yardmen in promotion to yardmasters or assistant vardmasters, the question of obtaining a rule which would prevent the com- panies from reinstating men justly dis- charged in disregard of the rights of other loyal yard men and committeas representing yard men, and the mat- ter of giying preference ta members of the brotherhood in émploying yard men. MICHAELIS CHOOSES AIDES Formal Announcement of Ministry Not Expected Until Chancellor Returns From Official Visits. Berlin, Saturday, July 28, Via Lon- don, July 30.—Official announcement of the appointment of new men to the Prussian ministerial positions is not expected to be made before Chancellor Michaelis returns from official visits to Vienna, Dresden and Munich the latter part of next week. Dr. Michaelis has been in active communication with leading party members of the Prussian lower house and the selection of men who are to assist him in carrying out electoral re- forms has been agreed upon, appoint- ment merely awalting the emperor’s approval. The chancellor is accom- panied on his initial official trip to the allied courts by Dr. Willlam von Strumm, under secretary for foreign | affairs. It is now taken definitely for granted that Baron von Kuehlmann will succeed Dr. Zimmermann, secre- tary for foreign affairs. Baron von Kuehlmann is 44 years old and en- tered the diplomatic service in Lon- don. He was in Washington at the outbreak of the war and in 1915 was transferred to The Hague legation. He was appointed ambassador to Con- stantinople last winter, NORWEGIANS V!

DERIDES DR. MICHAELIS’ SPEECH. Washington, July 30.—Ger- man Chancellor Michaelis’ peace interview is regarded at the state department as an- other German attempt to bol- ster up public opinion at home, appeal to the peace sentiment in enemy and neutral coun- tries and create dissensions be- tween the Allies. , At the Rus- sian embassy, it was stated to be wholly incorrect in fact. NEGROE TROOPS ON - RAMPAGE IN TEXAS Waco Passes Restless Night While Posses Hunt Dsturbers ANTI-WHITE DEMONSTRATION ‘Blacks Block Sidewalks Determined Not to Allow Caucasians to Pass— Provost Guard of .Own.Men Fires Into Group. Waco, July 30.~—~Expeditions consist- ing of provost guards of the 24th United, States infantry and members of a local police force early today were searching the environs of Waco for members of the 24th infantry who late last.night as the oulmination of a night of trouble on the streets with white citizens clashed with a squad of Will Jones, a negro trooper, -was shot in the head and patrolmen Todd, Edgar Willlams and Neal Harris. all white, were slightly injured. The troops arrived yesterday from iE1 Paso to do temporary guard duty over government property at Camp MacArthur, pending arrival of Wis- consin and Michigan forces. The trouble started shortly after 9 o’clock when the negro troopers massed before a negro picture theater opposite the city hall, refused to per- mit white citizens to pass. Police re- serves were called and the disorder subsided. Hostilitles Renewed. About two hours later hostilitles broke out again, when Patrolman Todd in a fight with one of the col- ored soldiers, broke a finger. White citizens soon after congregated on the city square when reports were received that a group of 14 negro soldiers had left their camp for town | to start a fight. °* | Enlisting the aid of a provost guard of the negro troops, Night Cap- tain James encountered the rebellious soldiers before an alley on North Second street. A volley was fired into the group by the police and members of the provost guard, with the injury of Jones, a member of the band of the recalcitrants. The invaders outnumbered fled at the first shots and the police returned to headquarters to obtain more guards from the military. They were joined shortly afterward by Captain Higginson and Lieut. Crom- ley, officers of the 24th infantry, to aid in the rounding up of the mu- tinous troopers. A posse with five motor cars com- mandeered by the police took a routs down the Brazos river while a de- tachment of troops under Captain | Higginson proceeded to beat the out- skirts of the city. Following institu- tion of the man hunt, the streets were cledred of pedestrians and quiet was restored after a night of excitement. All the negro soldiers who took part in last night's clashes with the au- thorities have been accounted for. Six were arrested long after the dis- turbances took place. Fourteen others who escaped to the environs of the city reported at camp this morning and were placed under guard.

OTIS, BITTER FOE OF LABOR, DEAD Was Owner of Los Angeles Times, | Blown Up in 1910 ‘ OF REVOLUTIONARY STOCK Gave Up Printing Trade Temporarily to Fight in Civil War, And Offered Services Again at 61 to Fight the Spaniards, Los Angeles, July 350.—General Harison Gray Otis, president and gen- eral manager of the I.os Angeles Times, died today at the home of his son-in-low, Harry Chandler. General Harrison Gray Otis, himself a veteran of two wars, came of a long line of military and statesmanship an- cestery. His grandfather was a sol- dier of note in the Revolutionary war and the Otis stock produced James Otis Revolutionary patriot and ora- tor, and the first Harrison Gray Otis, once noted as a senator from Massa- chusetts. Gen. Otis was 80 vears of age, his birth having ooccurred on a Washington County, Ohio, farm, Feb- ruary 10, 1837. Over . five years of General Otis’ life. was spent as a volunteer soldier of the United States. In 1861, at the age of 24, he enlisted in the 12th Ohio Volunteers, was promoted through all grades to a captain in 1864. 1In that vear a consolidation of regiments placed him in the 23rd Ohio Veteran Volunteers, his colonel and captain being respectively, Ru- therford B. Hayes and William Mec- Kinley. Altogether, Otis saw forfy- nine months of actual service in the Civil War, was twice wounded and re- ceived - seven promotions, including two brevets, retiring with the title of major and lieutenant-colonel, by bre- vet. Volunteéred Again at 61. With the outbreak of the Spanish- American war, in 1898, Major Otis, at the age of 61, volunteered his services to President McKinley and was made a brigadier general of Volunteers. He was assigned to duty, first at Camp Merrit, (Cal.) and then to the Philip- pines, where at different times he commanded various divisions of the Eight Amry Corps in the campaign for pacification of the native revolt. He led a brigade in person in the as- sault on Caloocan and participated in the capture of the Fiiipino capital. He resigned his command in April, 1898, returning to the United States. Upon discharge he was vreveted ma- Jor-general for ‘‘meritorious conduct in’ action.” i Following the Civil war, Otis re- | turned to the trade of printer, for | which he had abandoned school at! an early age, acquiring, finally in 1882, a fourth interest in the Los Angeles Times. Previously he had served for four years as foreman of the government printing office of the Times. Quite early in his career as editor and publisher of the Times, for he speedily secured full control. Otis ! came into conflict with organized labor and thereafter until the day of his death he waged an unrelenting warfare for what he termed indus- trial freedom. On October 10, 1910 his building and printing plant was dynamited and 20 of his workmen killed. The arrests and trials which followed were matters of nation-wide interest. General Otis acquired a large'for- tune, his interests aside from publish- ing being extensiv In politics, his paper ever reflected the attitude of its editor—aggressive, uncompromis- ing republican, Otis’ connection with that party dating back to 1860, when he was sent from Kentucky as a del- egate to the convention at Chicago which nominated Lincoln for the presidency. Aside from those mentioned, Gen- eral Otis held numerous governmen- tal positions at different periods of his life. He was prominent in the Grand Army of the Republic and numerous other patriotic orders and a member of the American Academy of Sciences. The bride of General Otis, young manhood, Miss Eliza Wetherby was his constant associate in journalism and literature until her death in 1904. Of the five children born to them, two daughters survive. Dirigible Lands in Terrc Haute, Ind., After Trip From St. Louis and Is Burned by Soldiers.

Although no definite action has beg!l taken by the naval authorities in this district as yet, it is confidently, | predicted by naval officers that with- in a very short period the naval re- £erves, coast patrol, known as Class 4, will be abolished and the men en- listed, including both officers and sail- ors, will be given their choice of re- enlisting as volunteers for possible foreign service, or receiving their dis- charge. base of the reserves at New Haven today elicited the information that while this action has not taken place, the government intends to do so. The naval reserves were organized last winter and, it is estimated, there are fully 200 New Britain boys en- listed, some of them being stationed It is at New Haven that most of them are being sent for training. The oath whch the men took wupon enlisting pledged them to serve for an enlist- ment of four years but specifically stated that their service was to be in American waters as a coast patrol. organized it was understood that the government was to build an enormous to guard the coast from submarine attack. Thus, the naval reserves came to be known as the ‘‘coast patrol” and ‘“mo- squito fleet”. Later in the spring op- portunity was given the men to vol- unteer for service in what is known as Class 2. This is the branch in which the men pledge themselves for foreign service in any naval capacity desired. Already a number have vol- unteered for this branch, but the ma- jority of those enlisted have been con- tent to continue in Class 4. The idea to abolish Class 4 has been in the mind of the navy depart- { ment for some time, but it was not until the transport service found itself short of men that actual plans were made. Government officlals including navy men, feel that it is not fair to others in the service to permit the naval reserves to remain at Thome, | while other naval men must go abroad to fight and even the civillan population between the ages of 21 and 31 that is not enlisted has to take its Queries made at the naval | at Brooklyn, Boston and New(Haven. | When this branch of the service was !
