Accident Leads to Discovery of Attempted Lead Smuggling

NEW YORK, Sept 14. Accidental discovery that wire nails in a consignment for Sweden were covered with lead caps caused the custom authorities to hold up a shipment of S00 cases of the nails.

The cases have been standing on a dock for about three weeks. .The investigation will seek to . determine whether the lead was placed on the nails as a subterfuge to get needed war materials to German or whether it was there for some legitimate pur-":

NEW CABINET IS TO FOLLOW REVOLUTION

Kerensky Assumes Korniloff's Movement Has Failed Russ Troops Active. PETROGRAD. Sept. 14. After being received by Premier Kerensky at the winter palace and informed of the fate which awiated him. General Kruimoff, commander of the Korniloff troops . which were sent against Petrcgrad, returned to his lodgings tonight and shot himself. The general's wounds were not fatal. (By Associated Press) Convinced that General Korniloff s rebellion is definitely at an end, although the general himself has not formally surrendered, the leaders at Petrograd are setting about the reconstruction of the government. Formation of a new cabinet is said to be along toward completion. The submission of so many of the troops and leaders who are adhering to General Korniloff apparently has left the leader of the revolt in a position of helplessness.. He is said to have notified of his intention to surrender upon the arrival at his headquarters of General Alexieff who has become chief of staff under Premier Kerensky, now commander in chief of the Russian armies. One of Korniloff s principal supporters. General Kaladines, chief of the Cossacks, is reported to have been arrested. Army Gains Ground. Meanwhile the Russian army at the front, particularly in the northern sector, is displaying a fighting spirit and according to the official statement is gaining some of the ground recently abandoned to the Germans in the Riga district. Several villages have been occupied probably in a movement to consolidate the Russian positions and organize a defensive line which would be co hesive in case of attack. Activity on the other battle fronts except the Austro-Italian, where General Cadorna is still fighting determinedly for Monte San Gabriele, is not notable. The Germans are appar ently more demonstrative in the Aisne district on the French front than else where and Paris today reports an attack on French positions on the Case mates plateau. This was repulsed in hand to hand fighting. Summer Returns With Temperature of 81 Summer habiliments, discarded when Old Jack Frost skipped across the county, were again being sought Friday when the temperature registered 81 and Old Sol, smiling and happy, trying hard to raise it still higher. But it won't last long the weather forecaster says. Saturday will be warm, very warm compared to those recent cool mornings, but it will also be wet according to the prediction. Jupiter P. Rain was scheduled to drop around Thursday night but he didn't so now it looks like he'll be here sometime during the day or night. Rain may fall within the next twenty-four hours is the prediction. And the temperature is scheduled to go higher Saturday than it did Friday. Cooler weather will probably start for good next week. Presbyterian War Fund is Doubled ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 14.
