PRESSING ON TO RIGA. f Germans Plan to Clear Gulf of Mines and Use It as a Naval Base. LONDON, July 20.—The upper- Moat question concerning the East- @ta campaign now is when Warsaw ‘will be evacuated, rather than wheth- er it will be given up. With virtually ell of Courland in the hands of Field Marshal’ von Hindenburg, and with the Austro-German forces across the Bug, continued occupancy of the Pol- {eh capital exposes the Ru 5 to the danger of disaster. The Germans now threaten the foscss of Novo Georgievsk, which is olf, ten miles from Warsaw. The occupation of Windau by the Germans in the north is paralleled from the southeast by the advance of the Teutonic allies on the Lublin | Railroad, one of the chief arteries of communication with Warsaw. From Windau the Germans a reported to be advancing toward Riga, with the intention of seizing that port and clearing the nearby seas of mines, thus obtaining an- other naval base. All the glory has not gone to von Hindenburg, as his colleague, Field Marshal von Mackensen, is credited with the capture of Krasnostav. Military men here do not conceal their amazement at the Kaiser's dar- <‘ng in attempting by simultaneous @.tves to expel the Russians from their naval base at Riga, to capture the capital of Poland and to force General Russian retreat east’ toward Brest-Litovsk, 115 miles away, ® coup that would release great Ger- man armies for operations against the French and English. At least two million Germans are believed to be engaged. The censor permitted the Morning Pest to print a despatch from its }f Budapest correspondent reporting that MI the gradual evacuation of Warsaw has been ordered, though militar of- ficlals here discredited the report. The Russian War Office admits that ‘yon Hindenburg’s centre continues to @dvance upon the Narew front. The assumption here is that Russian troops have been withdrawn from this Portion of the line to reinforce the armies blocking Mackensen’s progress from the southwest. All Petrograd ispatches agree that the Russian general staff considers Mackensen's drive the main German offensive, PETROGRAD, July 20.—German columns have occupied Tukum and (Continued on Second Page.) ree NOT LINDON BATES JR.

WASHINGTON, July 2%. — Ten thousand dollars in currency, the sec- ond largest contribution to, the “Con- science Fund" ever received by the Government, arrived at the Treasury Department to-day In a plain envelope mailed yesterday at New York, ac- companied by an unsigned letter, fing: “The sender has paid double to the United States the amount he stole and still conscience is not satisfied. Here is another payment.” The package contained three $1,000 gold certificates, eight $500 certifi- cates and thirty $100 silver and gold notes, Treasury officials found nothing in the letter or the amount to indicate a connection with any of the Govern- ment losses by fraud or theft, so they placed it with $500,000 more which in the Treasury vaults from conselence stricken folk who have sent sums ranging from one cent to $18,669. “The largest sum ever received came in 1909, probably from some one who had committed @ customs fraud.

TWO SECRET WITNESSES Mrs. Becker Comes From Sing Sing With Husband’s Full Statement. Counsel for Charles Becker an- nounced to-day that they were pre- paring for an application for a new trial on the ground of newly discoy- ered evidence. This is about the only move they can take and they claim to have reasonable expectation of suc- cess. ‘They anticipate that if such a motion is entertained by a Justice of the Su- Preme Court the Governor will order another postponement of the execution to allew time for the submission of arguments and briefs. Becker ts now scheduled to die on July 28, The newly discovered evidence is belleved to have been furnished by Soemuel H, Wandell, a lawyer, of No. 2 Rector Streel, who is said to have acted for two clients, These clients are reported to be familiar with the inside of the Rosenthal murder. Tho alleged important evidence is said to concern $6,000 which is sald to have been paid to Jack Rose a few hours before Rosenthal was killed. “We have the evidence,” sald Martin T. Manton this afternoon, “and it is, we have no doubt, of sufficient weight to bring about a new trial for Becker. An application for the trial will be made as soon as possible—certainly before the end of this week.” In the event of the refusal of a Justice of the Supreme Court to grant a new trial on the new evi- dence counsel for Becker might make a last play by appealing to the United States Courts and ask for in- terference on the ground that Beck- er’s constitutional rights have not been conserved, Mrs. Becker went to Sing Sing Prison late last night and left a bundle of paper with her husband. This is supposed to have been Beck- er’s statement which his lawyers had been examining and which will prob- ably be given out for publication this evening. The gist of the statement was published exclusively by The Evening World yesterday. It is not a new story, but has been told in various forms several times since Herman Roserthal wag killed, Briefly, the story credited to Becker is that Rosenthal had been sent into the territory staked off as a gambling preserve by Bridgie Webber and other uptown gamblers, because he owed “Big Tim" Sullivan money and it was the only way Big Tim saw for Rosen- thal to get enough to pay up, Harry Appelbaum, formerly secre- tary to “Big Tim" Sullivan’ and his companion at all business meetings, said, after reading parts of the Becker story, that he didn’t believe Becker authorized it, and that it was a tissue of lies. He denied “Big Tim" ever gave Jack Rose $6,000 or any other sum of money for any purpose and declared "Big Tim” was not in- | terested in Rosenthal or his gambling house, house, or in any other gambling William Thaw’s Plane Shot To Ribbons, PARIS, July 20.—William Thaw has written that his aeroplane was shot to ribbons while a8 making an obser- vation trip above the German lines re- cently.

Colmar and Crown Prince’s Railway Base Bombarded by Aeroplanes. LONDON, July 20—Three big German taubes were destroyed in a battle royal in the air with twelve fast British aeroplanes off the mouth of the Thames a few days ago, ac- cording to circumstantial stories cir- culated here. The German aviators are reported to have crossed the North Sea, Intend- ing to raid the English Coast.

First the foremost Taube was seen to fall. Then a second shot downward in a mass of flames, plunging beneath the waves, The fight by this time had moved #o far seaward that spectators along the coast could no longer trace the tiny specs among the clouds. The following day naval boats found one of the German planes floating on the water, its occupants strapped to their seats with bullet holes through their heads. The third Taube is re- ported to have been lost.

Several hundred men on atrike at the Constable Hook plant of the Standard Ol! Company, at Bayonne, fought a dattle with the police guard detailed to watch the bullding to-day. ‘They were driven off when the police charged and fired over the heads of the strikers. Several policemen and strikers were struck with stones and fifteen prisoners were taken. Over 5,000 men, most of them for- @igners who have been in this coun- try but a few years, were employed day when a few tried to pass in to work, The strikers attacked the men entering the place, and practically the entire police force of Bayonne was hurried to the spot on the order of Director of Public Safety Henry Wilson. Inspector Daniel Cady led the po- lice they charged the mob with clubs, and he was struck with @ bets and injured, As the strike ered the policemen with stones per grappled with some of them Inspector ,| Cady shouted a warning and then or- dered the police to fire into the alr. The first volley scattered the crowd. Two or three shots were fired by strikers and policemen narrowly es- caped Injury. Immediately following the riot Gen- eral Manager George D. Gifford ts- sued an order shutting down the en- tire plant. With the adjoining Tide Water Ot! plant, it forms the source of the Standard Ot! supply of ofl, gaso- ne, naphtha and by-products. It Is said that in anticipation of a strike a large reserve supply is on band and the plant can remain closed for some ume. A number of atrikers were picketed about the plant all day, but they wore kept at a distance by the police. The principal fear of the authorities is that an attempt will be made to fire the buildings containing the great supply of gasoline and naphtha, and if there is ans further attack on the police Deputy Sheriffs will probably be called in to ald in guarding the place. —_—_——>—— LLOYD GEORGE SETTLES WELSH MINE STRIKE Brings Men and Colliery Owners Together and Ends Menace to Great Britain.
