AUSTRIA DRIVES RUSSIANS FROM PASS IN HILLS Kaiser's Allies Clear Carpathian Posses and Vienna Expects Early Evacuation of Lemberg.

TURKS NEAR ZUEZ British Marines Cut Railroad Line of Turks at Alexandretta Affecting Transportation to Syria. BY FREDERICK WERNER Staff Correspondent The International News Service. BERLIN, Jan., 29. (By wireless) While an official report from the German general staff issued here this afternoon claims some gains for the Kaiser's troops In both the eastern and western theatres of war, the best news from the Austro-Oerman standpoint still comes from the Carpathians. The Austrian success in those mountains still continue, the Russians having been driven from the Nagy-Ag river valley. Vienna reports the probability of an early evacuation of Lemberg by the Russians. The lifting of the siege of Prezemysal and the recapture of Lemberg, the capital of Galicia, would constitute one of the greatest triumphs won by the Austro-German allies in the war. News was received from all theatres of war of freezing weather, which bids fair to continue for some days. East Prussia reports eleven below zero at Centrigrad on Thursday. BRITISH CUT TURK ROAD. CAIRO, Jan. 29. British sailors have carried the war into the Turks own stronghold by landing at Alexandretta and destroying several miles of the railroad through Syria which the Ottoman troops depend on for supplies in their campaign against Egypt. They returned to their vessels after achieving this feat without a single man being wounded. That some of the Turks invading Egypt have already reached the Canal Is indicated by news of a skirmish on Wednesday near Milestores. Only a few men were engaged. FRENCH STATEMENT. PARIS, Jan. 29. Continued success for the French troops in their operations against the Germans is claimed in an official statement issued by the French war office this afternoon. The French Infantry has gained a foothold on the great sand dune near Nleuport and a German flying machine has been destroyed by French artillery. There is a lull in the fighting at Soissons, Craonne and Rheims. The statement adds that an attack made bv the Germans on the French at Fon taine Madame cost the attacking forc es dearlr. As a result of the failure of the Germans to gain any great successes in the fighting that culminated on Emperor William's birthday, the offensive of the German troops has apparently slackened all along the line. FATHER WOULD PAY ESCAPED BOY'S FINE Moystner Learns of Son's Escape After Special Trip to City. Nothing has been heard of Garry Moystner, the young man who ran away from the court house yesterday where he was working with a squad of prisoners. Coincident with the escape of the Economy boy, was the determination of his parents yesterday to pay his fine of $20 and costs so he could be released from the jail at the expiration of his sentence next week. Mr. Moystner came to Richmond last night and was surprised to find that his son had just escaped from custody. He was deeply moved by this act as he said he has arranged for the boy to go to work as soon as he was released from jail. Since Mr. Moystner has said he will take bis son in charge and try to correct him after the expiration of the jail sentence, it is not probable that an additional sentence will be given the young man when he is recaptured.

Gold Weather Stings

Wilbur Kuth Reports Milder Winter in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Returning home for the first time in eight years from Saskatchewan, Canada, Wilbur Kuth, son of Stephen Kuth, the well known berry farm owner, looks longingly towards the north when the biting winters of south central Indiana sting his face. "I can't stand these winds," the Northern visitor declared, "The skin of my face is too tender and It cuts." "Yes, the teirfperaturS has been about thirty below right along where live but it's not this cold," he replied when acquaintances informed him the thermometer stood at twenty above sero just fifty degrees warmer than be has been used to. Snowfall Lighter There. "We are having the mildest winter In eight years," Mr. Kuth said. "There ire only 6ix Inches of snow on the ground. I ran down from Winnipeg thinking I would find some warm weather here but instead there is two teet of snow on the ground. Another local condition which Mr. Kuth cannot accustom himself to after eight years absence 1b the darkness. "Never bo much darkness at home,"

BIGAMIST FACES FORGERY CHARGE IN CONNERS VILLE Peter Paul Apkins, Former Richmond Man, Wedded Two Women in Two Weeks Gormon Ends Career. Peter Paul Apkins of Richmond, until May. 1911, a respected citizen and an employe of the Starr Piano company, who started his felonious career by marrying twice within a few weeks, will be brought from the Frankfort, Ky., Jail to Connersville in February and there prosecuted for forging the name of a Richmond saloon keeper. Former Chief of Police Gormon will be one of the chief "character" witnesses against Apkins, as it was Mr. Gormon who arrested the man after he had eluded the police of other cities where he was wanted. On May 20, 1911, Apkins forged three checks with the name of E. H. Mason, then of Richmond, for a total of $23.80. After cashing the checks he left Richmond with Mrs. Bertha Kohler, widow of Henry Kohler, 162 Fort Wayne avenue, and went to Paris, 111., where they were married. Returning to Indianapolis, Apkins told Mrs. Kohler to wait for him in Richmond, as he was gointr to Chicago to arrange their home. Mrs. Kohler never saw her husband again or heard of him until the police told her he was wanted for forgery. His marriage to Mrs. Kohler took place May 21, and on May 27 he married Miss Elizabeth Young, a Nicholasville, Ky., young woman. In a Cincinnati hotel he drugged and robbed her. The rapidity with which Apkins worked is shown by the fact that on May 31, ten days after his first marriage, he was in Stirling, Conn., where he expected to marry a young woman. After his arrest by I. A. Gormon, Apkins was given a two-year penitentiary term on a bigamy charge In a Kentucky court.

"MOTHER OF POOR" WANTS SOUP HOUSE FOR CITY'S NEEDY Mary Frame Selby Requests Mayor to Distribute Food to Men and Women Out of Work. Mrs. Mary Frame Selby, Richmond's official "mother of the poor" and tireless worker in their behalf, took time enough from her work of carrying food and clothing to poor families in every section of the city to call upon Mayor Robbins at the city hall today and request the establishment of a municipal "soup house.". "Conditions are the worst in the city's history at the present time," she said, "and the city ought to do something to help its poor people. It wouldn't be a disgrace to the city to provide a soup house. Conditions here, as bad as they are, are much worse in other cities and they have 'soup houses' open In those places." Willing to Work. Mrs. Selby also said that if the city would open a "soup house" she would take charge of it and would not charge the city a cent for her services. She was told that the police department had been feeding hungry men since the first of the winter, to which she promptly answered that nearly all of these men were transients and that hungry Richmond men, women and children were not benefited. "I know what conditions are," said Mrs. Selby. "I get out among the poor and find out for myself what the conditions are that confront them. Some landlords are raising rents, eight out of ten men can't get work and the suffering is acute." AERIAL RAID COST 4 GERMAN LIVES COPENHAGEN. Jan. 29. It is re ported in Berlin that four German airmen lost their lives in the Zeppelin raid on England. Three aeroplanes escorted the Zeppelins to Yarmouth. One is said to have been brought down by shells from warships there and another capsized, the pilot and observer in both machines being drowned. he declared. "At five o'clock in the afternoon the idea of turning on a light never occurs to us while all the lights In 'Richmond are on. We can still read our papers at S o'clock without a light." Mr. Kuth lives in Rosthern, Saskatchewan, about half way between Saskatoon and Prince Albert, 450 miles northwest of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The town's population is about one-half English. War Hits Provinces. The Canadian provinces are hard hit by the war, Mr. Kuth said. There are numerous special laws in effect. One of these makes it almost impossible to make collections. General business conditions are depressed. Mr. Kuth is in .the automobile and agricultural repair business. Automobiles are either summer or winter automobiles in Rosthern, Mr. LKuth explained. In the fall, the own ers have the axles shortened and the wheels set together the same distance apart as sled tracks. The roads are broken by the sleighs which are used instead of wagons.

DEADBEAT GUARDIAN SUGGESTED IN BILL

Senator Eikman Proposes to Help the Spendthrift Save His Coin. . BY LEASED WIRE. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 29, Pay your debts, "come clean" to the grocer, the milkman, the coal man; don't let the gasoline bill find yourself In the gentle and protecting hands of a "guardian," duly authorized by a court, drawing your pay for, auditing your affairs, paying your bills and making you an allowance for cigarette money, all under the proposed Eikman law. A guardian for the deadbeat is the proposition that is to be put forward in a forthcoming bill by Senator Eikman. This proposed bill is to be based upon the spendthrift law which is now in effect, and which provides for guardians for persons who persist in wild spending against the judgement and advice of persons interested in their well-being. Senator Eikman believes that if society is enough interested in the sower of wild oats, or in the spendthrift, to appoint a guardian to settle up the accumulated debts of the person who dodges the bill collector. Senator Eikman, seriously speaking, feels that a law to provide for applications for public guardians for deadbeats might have a Balutary effect along lines not yet covered by a garnishee law. He would substitute a guardian for a garnishee. The proposed bill is expected soon. OLDEST WOMAN DIES; LIVED FOR 94 YEARS Mrs. Sarah D. Starr Came to Wayne County When Small Child. Mrs. Sarah D. Starr, supposed to be the oldest woman in Wayne county, died at the home of her son, Oliver D. Starr, 223 North Tenth street, at three o'clock this morning.

APPEALS FOR HELP KEEP CHARITY BUSY After a lull of a few days, charity work has taken a spurt and the Central Bureau office was filled most of the dav. There were calls for food. clothing and fuel, the last exceeding the other two demands. Thfl charltv agencies in the city have now settled into the routine of relieving conditions and continually piling up case records ana statistics which will be of future value in showing the progress of constructive charity work. Secretary Melpolder said today the spurts are due to the cold weather and the fact that the same amount of supplies lasts many families an equal length of time, thus bringing them all back again at the same time. WELFARE CLUB PICKS MRS. GEIER AS HEAD Officers who will have charge of the domestic science work which has been incorporated in the St Andrew's parochial school, are as follows: President, Mrs. Peter Geier; first vice president, Mrs. A.

An officer of the Reliance foundry, where union molders are out on strike, complained to the police that a union man called a non-union man a "scab" and also threatened him. After an investigation today It was decided to file an affidavit because the evidence was Insufficient to make a case.

CITY ASKS LAW

TO GIVE RETURN ON LIGHT PLANT Mayor Believes General Fund Should Receive Six Per Cent on Amount Invested in Utility. WANTS LEGISLATION Necessity of Using Same Rate Schedule as Other Plant Makes Re-adjustment Fair to City. Mayor Robbins wants the legislature to enact a law at this session whereby the government of the city of Richmond, as well as the citizens of Rich mond, can obtain direct benefits from the municipal electric plant He would have a law enacted whereby at least six per cent on the plant investment would be paid into the general fund of the city annually. As the investment in the city plant is now in excess of $300,000 the city government would receive annually, on the six per cent basis, $18,000 for its general fund to be used for civic betterments. This proposal has been submitted to the Commercial club and It will be thoroughly discussed by the commit tee on public service corporations, the mayor and city attorney, and it is quite probable that within a short time a bill will be drafted and sub mitted to the legislature. City Wants Dividend. The plant is now providing nearly $8,000 a year for its sinking fund to meet its bonded indebtedness and the mayor believes the city is as much entitled to a reasonable share of plant earnings as the stockholders of the Light, Heat and Power company are entitled to dividends on the earnings oi mat plant. If the city could reduce its rates as low as possible the mayor says he would have no objection if plant benefits were derived solely by such an arrangement. But he calls attention to the fact that the state commission requires that the city plant shall offer (Continued on Page Five) FLEMING FLOPS BACKTOSENATE Asks Ralston Not to Consider Resignation Hastily Handed in Wednesday. BY LEASED WIRE. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 29. State Senator Stephen B. Fleming has reconsidered his resignation which was hastily presented to Governor Ralston Wednesday. In a letter to the Governor, Senator Fleming asked that the executive not consider his letter of resignation. In his letter to the Governor today Senator Fleming said that he was prompted to reconsider his action on account of the unnecessary expense that a special election in Adams and Allen counties would cause. Governor Ralston said he had not decided what action he would take in the Fleming case. It is understood that Senator Fleming if he retains his seat in the senate will only attend the sessions when his presence is necessary to further several bills in which he is interested. GOLD WAVE'S CREST PASSES AT MIDNIGHT Few persons knew when they started about their routine tasks today that- the crest of the cold wave which has been threatening the city for several days, reached the city at midnight and then passed on. But it did. as the government thermometer at Earlham registered 16 degrees below zero at midnight, and 4 below at 6 o'clock this morning. W. E. Moore, local weather forecaster, says: "The only way to tell how cold it was between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m. is to have a self-recording standard government thermometer, unless one chooses to sit up all night. If the crest of a cold wave passes about midnight as it did last night, the lowest temperature will occur about that time. It frequently happens that the temperature will rise between 20 and 30 30 degrees before sunrise. Weather Forecast FOR INDIANA Snow tonight and Saturday; warmer. Temperature Noon 15 Yesterday Maximum 13 Minimum 14 below zero Local Increasing cloudiness followed by snow tonight or Saturday; not so cold. General Conditions Area of low ba rometric pressure west of the Mississ ippi, river is expected to cause moderation in the intense cold of the last thirty-six hourse with snow.

JORDAN LIKES PLAN FOR MILEAGE BOOKS Regrets That Club Failed to Adopt Postmaster Beck's Suggestion. That the 1,000 mileage book plan suggested in connection with the Commercial club resolution favoring a two and one-half cent maximum fare for railroads, should have been adopted was the opinion expressed by Secretary Jordan today. This matter was brought up by Postmaster Beck, but as the hour was then late and there was other business to dispose of, the suggestion was not put in the form of an amendment to the resolution which passed as it was brought in. "It's a" rule all over the world that the man who buys in large quantities buys cheaper," Mr. Jordan said. "I believe this should be the case with buying mileage. If such a plan were adopted again, I would object to one feature of the old methods. That is the deposit of $10 with the first book. This money is refunded when the holder of the cover returns it, but at the same time it looks like a scheme of the railroads to get the interest on a lot of money which does not belong to them. If such deposits are required, the railroads should be compelled to pay interest on them."

INSURANCE BODY PICKS RICDND FOR 16 SESSION German Baptist Tri-county Association Re-elects Officers and Wants Lightning Rods Used.

NEW BANK BUILDING SKETCH ATTRACTS GENERAL ATTENTION Dickinson Trust Company Exhibits Colored Design of New Main Street Structure. A water color sketch of the handsome banking building to be erected at the northeast corner of Eighth and Main streets by the Dickinson Trust company today and it excited general favorable comment. The structure is to be of stone but attractive panels of ornamental red brick inserted on the front of the building add to its beauty and relieve the austerity generally noticed of building constructed entirely of stone. The new building will be a dignified and picturesque adornment to the city's busiest corner. The building is only one store, but its heighth will equal that of the old structure which now stands on the site. It will be forty-two feet in width and will have a depth of 110 feet. The The bank's interior will be as handsome as any banking structure in the United States.

No deals had been consummated as yet, he added. History Y. M. C. A.

COUNTY TO GET LOAN OF $25,000 OF BRIDGE FUND New Council Adopts Constructive Policy for Improving Conditions of All County Funds.

DEBTS EXPIRE IN 1916. Members Above Bond Issuees When Necessary but Believe Necessity Will Not Exist for Years. . Low finances may cause the county council again to tap the south side bridge fund for a few months by making a temporary loan of $25,000 to tbe county general fund. Auditor I S. Bowman informed members of the body at yesterday called meeting. While no action was taken on any Important matters except the reapproprlation of some small unexpended balances which automatically reverted to the general fund at the close of 1914, the meeting was important In drawing out to some extent the policy of the new council. Tbe council members inquired Into methods of financing closely. It was the general opinion that the county's financial condition can be much improved In the next two or three years. The policy of the council seemed to be for the upbuilding of all funds. Need About $25,000. There is now $12,000 to $15,000 available for general purposes and the county will not receive any of this year's income until June. To put the fund in the proper shape about $25,000 will be needed although that amount may not be expended. The auditor explained that under the Indiana laws, the county Is continually spending its money as it gets it, often before the taxes bring It In. As this condition cannot be remedied without actually stopping county expenditures and expenses for a year or cutting them in half for two years, the council members agreed that the best plan is a slow steady constructive policy. The low condition of the county treasury is attributed to the 1913 floods. In June the county general fund will repay another $11,000 of the $37,000 which is owed the south side bridge fund. Last month a payment of $11,000 was made and the final payment of $15,000 will be made next December. If the $25,000 needed this spring Ib borrowed from the fund, this money will be repaid In June 1916. Want $90,000 Fund. If matters are rushed through, the south side bridge cannot require any money before 1916 and with a little delay, it is hoped that $90,000 which will be in the fund by 1917 will be sufficient to make all payments up to that time. The auditor Informed the council that Wayne county's bonded Indebtedness would be paid off in 1916 and thus with the tax rate as it stand now. there will be available annually about $20,000 in 1917 and in future years. The council members will not be adverse to adopting the plan of President Bavis of the board of public works in issuing bonds to make improvements. Lee B. Nusbaum, president of the council said today the body would not take the initiative in general matters but would remain within their province by letting the county commissioners ask for what is needed. SNOW MELTING FAILS Heidelman's Experiment Costs City $40. John Heidelman, skipper of the municipal steam roller, has found that his plan of melting snow in gutters by dumping snow onto a pipe through which steam from the roller was forced, is not a successful one. The experiment was made at a cost of about $40 to the city. In the first place, the snow refused to melt to any extent when deposited upon the pipe and In the second place it took three men and two or three teams, of horses to get the roller back In its barn. of Quartet at Charity Coiwart, February 3.
