The Russians east of War- aaw are retreating along the railway leading through Novo Minsk to ‘Stedlee. “In the fighting from Aug. 4 to Aug. 6," says the official report, “85 officers and 14,200 men were taken prisoners.

Between the Bug and the Vistula the German troops stormed the enemy positions near Ruskowola, southeast of Lubar- tow and northeast of Lentschna and forced the enemy to evacuate his positions there.” ‘The most desperate resistance of- fered by the Russians has been unable to halt the extreme wings of the German armies, under Gen, von Buelow in the north and von Mac- kensen in the southeast, The steady advance of the German flanks, coupled with the smashing attacks of von Gallwitz along the Narew and the effort to envelop the Warsaw garrison, is adding to the confusion fm the ranks of the retreating Rus: There is every reason to be- Heve that the Grand Duke cannot escape with armies intact, ——<——— GERMANS IN BELGIAN | GARRISONS MUTINY, Refused to March to the Yser Front —Ringleaders Reporied Shot.

MAGISTRATE GETS OUT. Decides Place Is Unsafe and Takes Cases to His Pri- vate. Chambers. Several policemen and court atten- dants were slightly injured and some women witnesses fainted when a sec- tion of the ceiling of the Manbattan Avenue court room, at Manhattan Avenue and Powers Street, Williams- burg, fell this morning just after the court proceedings opened. Magistrate E. W. Voorhees narrowly escaped in- jury. The building is old and dflapt- dated, but was being used while a new court room was being made ready. The policemen were assembled in front of the Magistrate preparing to present their complaints when thera was a sudden cracking sound and fif- teen square feet of the celling foll upon them. They were buried under the mass of plaster, which broke as it fol! and then sent up a cloud of white plaster. Some one In the court shouted that a shot had been fired. The crowd in the court room fought to get to the doors, The court attendants were trying to get the policemen out from under the debris and could not check the rush, Some of the prisoners were cocaine users, and two court attepd- ante with difficulty kept them from getting away as they saw an addition- al portion of the ceiling apparently about to fall. In the rush for the doors several women were knocked down and some of them fainted, Some men held their heads and picked the women up, plac- ing them on benches, but others fought harder to get out. Two men who could not get through the crowd turned and jumped front a window to Powers Street. In the midst of the panic the Mag- istrate, who had jumped back trom his desk when the plaster landed in front of him, rapped for order. When the crowd became quiet and it was found that several persons had been cut and bruised a call was sent for an ambulance. Among those injured were Patrol- man George Schaffer of the Herbert Street Station, Patrolman John Sarves of the Greenpoint Street Sta- tion, Court Attendants Charles Beeler and George Weltz and Complaint Clerk Thomas Peppard, who was talking to the Magistrate when the accident occurred, The Building Department was no- tified and the Magistrate decided it was unsafe to go ahead with the pro- ceedings in the room.

H. L. SCOTT LEAVING WASHINGTON FOR MEXICAN F RONTIER Who Took $22,000. PHONE CALL PUZZLES. rdered Dinner for “Hungry Party” for Night on Which He Disappeared. Edward C. Kindred, assistant cash- fer for the contracting firm of Booth & Flinn, Ltd, who disappeared ‘Wednesday with $22,000 belonging to a employers, han been indicted on the charge of grand larceny, Will- fam A. Flinn, head of the contracting firm, and Graham Caldicott, cashier for the Flinn-O’Rourke Company, a subsidiary of the Booth & Flinn Com- pany, were the prnicipal witnesses. Mr. Flinn and Mr. Caldicott still hold to the belief that Kindred did not intentionally steal the firm's money. The police theory is that the theft was committed on the spur of the moment. of this theory was obtained to-day by Acting Captain Deevy, who ia in charge of the case. Deevy found a business man in Harlem who said that at 8.30 o'clock last Wednesday morning—the 4d: the money was taken—Kindred tele- phoned to him and sald: “I wish you would go over to was the intention to coa-| Pabet's place in One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street and ord teale dinner for this evening, as three very hungry people are coming up there and I will be one of them.” An hour and a half later Kindred disappeared with the $22,000, Need- less to say, the “hungry” party did not appear in Harlem that evening. Another search of Kindred’s apart- ment in West One Hundred and Six- ty-third Street was made to-day by Deevy and Detective Dalton, who found a deputy sheriff's badge issued to Kindred in 1912, Next they visited the garage where Kindred kept tho touring car in which he left a down- town bank with the money on Wednesday morning. Records at the garage showed that the car had not been taken from the garage on the day before the robbery. ‘This contradicted stories told the po- lice by Frank Austin, a sculptor, and Giusseppe Pinatti, @M}street cleaner, who said they saw Kindred's car in Worth, near Centre Street, on Tues- day, [t was found abandoned in the same place on Wednesday, This tardy ‘atement from the garage people led persons who have been following the case to believe that the police have much valuable information re- lating to Kindred’s movements before and aftor the robbery which they are withholding. Another point with which the po lice were wrestling was that there was 4 woman in the case The suspicion of a woman in the case seemingly originated from a myster ious voice that telephoned W. A. Flinn It sounded like a man's for a time, but Mr, Finn thinks it might have | been a woman trying to disguise her | tones. ‘fhe person said he or she was a friend of Kindred and offered a pic- ture of ube missing man to be used in searching for him, explaining be |probably had suffered from sun \ stroke, or was wandering around in a laze. Mr. Flinn Was told to come to No. 1 Exchange Place and get the picture, but nobody of the name given sould be found there. Information is in the hands of In- epector Joseph A. Faurot to-day which indicates that Kindred went to Philadelphia, A New York business man telephoned last evening to Gra- ham Caldicott, cashier of the com- |pany, and wald he was sure he had be | seen Kindred on a train which left |New York for Philadelphia at 7 o'clock Thureday morning, Evidence in support Willing to Confer Victory.” .
