HEAVY BATTLE RAGES IN WEST

French, British and Belgian Troops '4'l Attempt to Stem Fierce GerVH man Bush.

TEUTONIC FORCES DRIVE ALLIES BACK LOSE GAINS

Opposing Armies Are Locked In Fierce Struggle In Flanders Similar to That Engaged In

Last Fall.

LONDON, April 24.-12:30 p. m.— Over an arc-like front in Belgian Flanders, which is roughly ten miles long, from the region of Bichoote in the north to St. Eloi in tho south, French, British and Belgian troops are locked with the Germans today in a series of engagements which recall the fighting of last October.

Driven from Hill No. 60 to tha sout.b of Ypres and failing to retake it by a counter attack the Germans launched a sudden advance northeast of tho town and alter stupefying and killing men in the fiisl trenches with deadly pases, according to British official reports, they drove their infantr/ forward, forcing .he French and Belgians back toward, and at some points apparently across the, Yser (Ypres) canal, a maneuver which at the same time compelled the British line north of Ypres to fall back to conform wim th\s French.

Although the advance of the Germans was considerable, extending, according to Berlin despatches, over a front of five miles, French, Belgian and British forces—the French occupying the center, the Belgians the ieCt, and the British the right of the line—immediately initiated a counter-attack, the result of which was to compel the Germans to give up some of the sround they had taken and force them in a northeasterly direction toward Langetnareck, from which place the attack started.

Break for Calais.

^Bame of the London newspapers toiflay characterize this German rush as another attempt to break trough to Calais, and some estimates say they have 500,000 men available for this effort.

By this time the British are presumably will strengthened and have consolidated their position on Hill No. 60. The hardest fighting consequently is expected north of Ypres.

Just as the Germans have been battering the Ypres salient held by the allies, so the French continue their pressure at St. Mihiel with some success. campaign in the east continues standstill, and there has been no siulhentic news of the movements of allied troops in European Turkey.

REORGANIZE BAR ASSOCIATION.

Lawyers Say They Will Weed Out Some Undesirables. Steps toward the elimination of lawyers of questionable standing from practicing in the courts in Vigo county were taken Friday afternoon when the Teire Haute Bar association was organized at a meeting in the Chamber of Commerce. The officers elected were: Judge John S. Cox, president Harry S. Wallace, vice president P. P. Gallagher, secretary, and Linus A. Evans, treasurer. The association elected Harry Baker, J. T. Walker and Elmer F. Williams to act with the officers as a board of directors for the first year, and the association will be incorporated.

The principal reason for the formation of the local association was to eliminate undesirable persons from acting as attorneys in the courts in Terre vJEaute. The social side of the association will be emphasized, however, and it is planned to hold monthly banquets.

Well known attorneys will be asked to speak at these banquets.

THAW AGAIN BLOCKED IN BATTLE FOR TRIAL

State Files Notice of Appeal From Ruling Granting Him Jury Test of Sanity.

NEW YORK, April 24—Harry K. Thaw, who went to sleep In the Tombs prison last night elated by his belief that he had won his long fight for a jury trial to test his sanity, awoke today to learn that he must await a decision of the appellate division of the supreme court before such a hearing would be granted.

This new check in his attempt legally to obtain his freedom from the Matteawan asylum to which Justice Page had ordered him returned was due to the announcement by Attorney-Gen-eral Woodbury that the state would make application to the appellate division for a writ of prohibition against the order for a jury trial granted yesterday.

Justice Hendrick. Mr. Wood­

bury's decision was made public after Thaw had retired for the night. The attorney-general contends that Justice Hendrick does not possess power to grant a jury trial on the writ of habeas corpus obtained by Thaw.

The hearing before a jury had been set for May 17, but it was considered likely that it would be postponed by the state's appeal.

BLACK FOUND NOT GUILTY.

Man Accused of Arson Is Acquitted By Circuit Jury. Leon Black, charged with arson, whose trial has been in progress in the Circuit 'Court for the past ten days, was acquitted by the jury late Friday afternoon after it had been out fifteen minutes. The verdict was a surprise to the state, as Black, it is said, offered to plead guilty to the charge when arraigned before Judge Fortune more than a year ago. The court refused to accept the plea on the theory that the man was of unsound mind. Judge Frank S. Rawley acted as special judge in the case, a change of venue having been taken from Judge Gerdink. John Hoke Beasley, the 18-year-old son of John T. Beasley, made his maiden speech in public, in behalf of the defendant. He is not a member of the bar, but by agreement he was permitted to address the jury, reviewing the evidence in the case.

WARNS SALOONMEN.

City Judge Douglas Says Fines Will Be Heavier Next Week. Violators of the Nicholson law next week will find the fines a little larger than those given Out last week, City Judge Perry Douglas declared SE .urday after John Zolin, a saloonkeeper, had been fined $10 and costs. The first week would serve as a warning to all liquor dealers, and there would be severe penalties dealt out next week to those found keeping open after hours or on Sunday, he said. "I have been lenient this week," said Judge Douglas, "but next week the fines will be heavier."

COPIES OF ACTS RECEIVED.

County Clerk John F. Joyce is in receipt of the shipment of the acts of the laat legislature, which are being distribued to members of the bar. When the last county clerk in the state receipts to the governor for the delivery of the acts to him, Governor Ralston will issue a proclamation declaring the laws to be in full force and effect. Until that proclamation is made only those acts are in force which had emergency clauses attached, and whi:h received the approval of the governor.

two that the evidence showed that Mayor Roberts did not issue the warrant for the payment of $100 to Attorneys Miller and Dowellins of Indianapolis but that the warrant was issued by other city officials. He raid the same held true for the third charge, that of giving' Eph Inman a check for $500.

The mayor was charged in the fourth count with purchasing machines for the city of Terre Haute which is against the statute. Mr. Slinkard said the evidence showed the machine was purchased by the purchasing agent and not the mayor. The same held true regarding the purchasing of the machine of Plumbing Inspector Henry Raeber, Slinkard said.

Road Bond Purchase.

He omitted the sixth and seventh charges, and took the eighth, in which the mayor is charged with falsely representing to the city council that there was at a certain time $240,000 in the general fund, while as a matter of fact there was about $90,000 in the fund, and through this alleged misrepresentation the mayor got the council to invest $50,000 in good roads bonds. Slinkard said that the testimony failed to show that the mayor made any such statement to the council, and that the testimony failed to show that the council did not know how much money was In the fund.

Slinkard said that no evidence was introduced to show that Mayor Roberts neglected any of his duties while away from the city at certain times during the summer, as charged in the ninth count, and said that at all times there was an acting mayor.

He omitted charge 10, and went on to the eleventh, in which it was said the mayor attempted to coerce the sinking fund commissioners to invest the money In the sinking fund into township road bonds. He said there was no evidence to show that the money was invested.

Charge of Malfeasance.

On charge 12, malfeasance and misfeasance in office, Slinkard said the evidence showed that the mayor was not guilty of either, but that the different boards were the guilty members, if anyone was. In the second part of the charge he said that the mayor had a right to discharge City Controller Griffith and City Attorney Batt when it was evident that a general interest in the city's welfare was not being shown by these men.

About the fourth part of the twelfth charge, that of bribery, Slinkard said the evidence showed that each and every councilman told the mayor that there would be no meeting of the council until it was certain that the ordinance would be passed. He said that when the money was returned by the councilmen to the mayor, the latter

said to each, "Well, this is for you anyway. Vote as you please." Mayor's Conviction.

He said that there was no competent evidence to show that the tnayor had been convicted of a felony and that if he had been convicted the evidence showed that an appeal was pending.

Slinkard then said that he had no motions to offer for the charges he omitted. President Skean then overruled Sllnkard's motion to strike the evidence from the files and Slinkard took an appeal from Skean's ruling, asking that the roll of the council be called with the result that Skean's decision was upheld, Councilmen Brannin and Savoree alone voting against Skean. Councilman Hanley said that except for the thirteenth charge he also should have voted against Skean. At this point a five minute recess was allowed.

On the resumption of the hearing, Attorney Slinkard moved the impeachment court on the evidence introduced to make a finding and a verdict of not guilty because the' evidence, he said, had wholly failed to convict and that there had not been sufficient evidence and not enough sufficient competent evidence to sustain each charge. He then asked reasonable time in which to explain his motion for a finding of not guilty. Judge Batt said that the law did not provide for any such talk and during a lengthy argument by Slinkard why he should be allowed to talk, Councilman Monninger interposed: "I beg your pardon, Mr. Slinkard, but I want to ask you if it was not a competent court in Indianapolis which found Mayor Roberts gtiilty of a felony?" "I think it was" said Slinkard. "Wasn't he given a fair trial there?" "As far as I know." "Then why should the people ol Terre Haute, some sixty odd thousands of them, he governed by a man in the penitentiary?"

This remark drew some applause, the first demonstration of any kind since the trial began Friday morning. Chairman Skean rapped for order.| At this point Mr. Skean denied Slinkard his right to talk and Slinkard again appealed to the council which voted him down. Councilman Deasee puggested that the council go into caucus and take a vote that the matter might be concluded. Judge Batt then said that Slinkard should be allowed to introduce his witnesses.

Deputy' Controller Called. The first man called was John Fitzpatrick, who said he has been acting city controller since April 17, and that he was appointed as deputy city controller. He identified certain record books from the controller's office, and then found notations in them relative to warrants issued in behalf of Mayor Roberts during 1914, when Roberts was drawing his pay monthly at the rate of $4,000 a year, or $333.33 a month. He also read from the records notations of the warrants issued to Miller & Dowelllng and to Eph Inman for $100 and $500 respectively, but said that Mayor Roberts' handwriting did not appear at a^iy place. He was reading the differenlj places where Mayor Roberts was paid his monthly salary when

The strongest bit of evidence offered late Friday afternoon was that of Councilmen Anton J. Bomberg and Gerhaxdt A. Monninger, who told of Mayor Roberts' attempt to bribe them to vote against the so-called boundary ordinance by placing $100 in their clothes.

Monninger said that he was called to the office of the mayor from the city engineer's office, where he was employed, and the mayor accused him of double-crossing him. Monninger said that he thought the measure was for the good of the people and that he intended to vote for It. Later In the evening, Monninger said he was called at his home by Roberts who asked him to come to the mayor's office at once. He said he did and in the Inner office of the mayor, following another short talk on the same matter, the mayor slipped $100 into his overcoat pocket He returned the money, he said, claiming that to accept it would be bribery but the mayor again thrust it into his pocket. He then went immediately to the home of President Harry Skean and told Skean of what had happened. A messenger boy was called and returned the money to Roberts' home, Mrs. Roberts receipting for the same. Doyne Huff, the messenger, told of returning the money and getting Mrs. Roberts to sign for it

Bomberg said that the mayor called him out of flre headquarters and into the hallway of Germania hall where he (the mayor) accused the councilman of double-crossing in going against the boundary ordinance. Bomberg said that Roberts slipped $100 into his coat pocket but that he returned it to the mayor, who again put it in his pocket. That was on Saturday evening. Monday morning Bomberg said he had a long talk with Councilman Monninger and that that evening before he went into the council chamber to attend a meeting, he took the money into Mayor Roberts' office, placed it on a table and told the mayor he could not accept it.

Mayor's Salary Raise.

William E. Huffman, superintendent of cemeteries and former city councilman from the Seventh ward, told of the passage of the so-called salary grab ordinance by which the mayor's salary was raised from $3,000 to $4,000. Huffman said that he did not remember

T. F. Grover, manager of the traction company, and M. M. Nash, superintendent, told of their arrest and detention at police headquarters witiiout being able to give bond on charges ot violating the city ordinance in cutting into the streets without first procuring a permit They said they were not released until a habeas corpus writ bad been issued from Judge Cox's court. Attorney W. T. Dbuthitt, traction rompany lawyer, corroborated the statement of the officials.

Councilman Deasee was another who testified that Mayor Roberts told him before the passage of the boundary ordinance, that if he voted against the measure he would receive $100 casn and $100 a year from the factories as long as they were allowed to remain out of the city. He refused the money and the offer in no uncertain terms, he said.

Fred Savoree, a saloonkeeper and brother of Councilman John Savoree, said that following the suspension of Patrolman Daniel B. "Bud" VanCleave by Mayor Roberts, the mayor called him and asked him if it was true VanCleave bought drinks in his place for women. Savoree said that he answered "no," that he never had bought a drink in there for any women and hung up the receiver in disgust.
