\ ( WFortress of First (!hn. Forming End THE OMAHA SUNDAY BE AUGUST 8, 1915 5— -A RUSSIAN FORCES EVACUATE KOYNO of New Slav Line of Defense, Given Up. GOVERNOR AND AIDES GONE LONDON, Aug. 7.—A dispatoh to the Dally Mail from Copenhagen says: ‘““Fhe Russians are evacuating Kovno. The governor and his staff and the banks have gone. The popu- lation has been leaving for the past week.” Kovno; a fortress of the first class, is the capital of the government of the same name in northwest Russia. It has been stated that Kovno was to form the northern head of the new Russian line of Kovno, Grodno and Brest-Litovsk. The city has a population of between 75,000 and 100,000. Owed Landlady for Board, She Claims Body of Her Debtor PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7.—The coroner of Philadelphia today refused the re- quest of a boarding house mistress that she be given the freak body of her former boarder so that she could sell it to the highest bidder and thus get back money By A. RDWIN LONG. “Look after the kida? 1 should say not. That's what the old woman is for.” Thix statement, or the sentiment in substance, was heard so often from men who thought themselves tho busy to give their children any attention that Stymest Btevenson, A& lumberman of Council Bluffs, got cntirely disgusted with |s So he called a little meeting in the Madison avenve sohool in Council Bluffs some two years ago. Then he lectured the dozen fellows that came. He told them Jjust what he thought they, as fathers, owed to their children. “TWhat sort of father are you?' That & what he wanted to know. Some had little to say in defense of their at- titude toward their children. One man, hard pressed for an answer, finally ad- mitted that he had never given fifteen minutes & day to his children, aithough he wag the father of six. ‘Then and there Stymest Stevenson or- ganized the dozen men into a Fathers' club, the first in the world. Other neighborhoods followed the example, un- til today theré te a Fathers' club in every one of the fourteen ward schools in Council Bluffe; there are upwards of 1,000 members in all; they are united into a federation o! fathers' clubs, and have already, for a year or more, taken active part in municipal and state leg- islation on the matter of clgaret and tobacco laws, juvenile court matters, matters of sanitation in the ward schools and on the efficlency or non-efficlency of some of the teachers of Council Bluffs Tacoma, Wash.,, has caught the spirit and now has a club of 1500 members.

His heart was on his right side and Other |geqi of thought for years before he| organs were not in their natural position. Physicians had discovered his strange physical make-up and worry over his peculiar construction, it i« claimed, caused him to end his life. - Gutenmiller owed the woman a board bill and had borrowed small ‘sums from her from time to time, telling her that when he died she could get money for his body from a medical college. The coroner told the Wwoman that under the law he could not give her the body. It is probable that it will be turned over to the state anatomical board if no one claims it for proper burial. New York Moosers Vote to Stand Fast ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 7.—Ceorge W. Perkins and twenty-eight other pro- gressives from various parts of the state at a closed meeting here today adopted resolutions pledging unswerving feaity to their party and urging any voters who are dissatisfled with conditions in other parties to come into the' progressive camp. Harrison Deyo of Yonkers, who made public such mews as was to be given out, said that no conferee even suggested returning to the republican fold. Mr. Perkins in an addreas insisted that the United States should prepare for peace by canging the tariff and also prepare for war, If the war were to stop now, he insisted, Europe would flood this country with the products of cheap labor and great business depression would follow. The progressive party, he concluded, {s the only one that offers a plan looking to preparing this country to fight. the battles of the industrial marts in case of peace, or the battles of guns and men in case of war. Twenty Thousand to Aid Flood Sufferers BRIE, Pa., Aug. 7.—With hundreds of workers clearing ‘away the debris along the path of Tuesday's flood, about $20,- 0 was raised today for relieving the suffering of victims. Monday a committee of 100 business men will begin a canvass to raise a huge fund and from this money those who have lost their all in the aisaster will be given a new start in life. The state health authorities are taking sanitary precautions to avoid an epidemic. State police have taken charge of the guard work in the stricken district.

The trio, James S Roche and John H. ‘Welsh, attorneys, and James G. Clark, @ real estate dealer, left here Sunday in an automobile for El Centro in the Im- perial valley. Monday morning the car stopped in the sand. The passengers found the radiator empty and nud no water. Roche and ‘Welsh started after a mirage, which they believed was the FSalton sea.

Convicts Prefer Being Bumped to Being Shot SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 7.—~Thirty- seven convicts on a motor truck, which was crossing a railroad track here late today, realized that a collision with an approaching switch engine was inevitable, but they refrained from jumping for fear of being shot by armed guards following in an automobile. The engine crashéd squarely into the truck and seven of the prisoners were severely injured, two probably fatally. Twenty others sus- tained cuts and bruises. The convicts day's work in flax fields, They saw the engine in time to jump to safety, thought the guards in the automobile would not understand the bituation and would begin firing.

The defenses of Ivangorod, however, were de- stroyed by the Russians before their retirement.
