Austrians Are isolated
From eGrnian Armies
<By Pres*.*
LONDON. Aug. 2.—Military critics
claim the Ruaians have accomplished '
the isolation of the Austrians from the
German armies on the eastern front by
- the driving of a wedge into the Aus
tro-German positions along the Kovel-
Vladimir-Volynski line. The view »s
held here that if the Germans have tnus
accepted the severance from the Aus
trtana. te most decisive result ot th-i
whole of General Brussiloff s strategy
will have been obtained, it being argued
that without German support the Aus- I
train armies will become demoralize-!
and collapse.
The critics say that the Austrian
forces between the Lipa and Dniester
rivers are doomed.
f There has been no confirmation of the I
report received in Rome that Kovel and
Vladlmir-Volynaki have been evacuated.
l but the Italian capital usually Js well
in formed on Russian news
A correspondent with the Russian
forces reported that roads to Kovel are
'black with the retreating enemy."
Exactly where General Brussiloffs
next blow will fall is not known. The
Russians and Austro-Germans are vir
tually within the same distance of both ,
Kovel and Vladimir-Volynski and also
are prosing closer toward Lemberg.
Violent battles are being fought by '
the Russians and the Austro-German I
forces virtually on the entire front from !
the Prlpot river marshes in Russia
southward to the region of Buczacz. in
Galicia—a distance of about 200 miles.

CRANE HEARING TURNED
INTO SWEEPING PROBE
OF WURM MYSTERY
(Coattnued from Page Ona.)
steel plant when John did not appear for
breakfast and asked where he was. He
was told that they were hunting for
John.
Prof. Wurm was asked what John’s
duties at the plant were. He said John
was supposed to stay on the job all the
time, to keep tab on the men and see
that they were performing their duties.
"Was the work dangerous?" was the
next question.
"I was afraid that something woulfj
happen to him,” replied Professor Wurm.
"Had he any enemiee?"
Prof. Wurm replied that John had
mentioned the boy on the day timekeep
er's job as being jealous of him. "He's
the most selfish boy I ever saw,” the
father quoted his son ae saying.
HAD FEW ASSOCIATES.
Prof. Wurm said that his boy's as
sociates had always been only his friends
at school and Sunday school and boys
in the neighborhood. He replied, in an
swer to a question, that John did not
know any chauffeurs or drivers of au
tomobiles intimately.
The last time he saw John, he said,
was Sunday afternoon when he was
undressing in his room to take a nap
before going to work.
Prof. Wurm was asked if John had
ever said anything about having a dif
ficulty with Crane. It was the first
time the prisoner's name had been men
tioned. Prof. Wurm replied In the nega
tive.
R. W. Hastinge, who was In authority
over Wurm at the steel company, fol
lowed Prof. Wurm on the stand. He
said that Wurm's duties as night time
keeper consisted of making out service
cards and that he never docked the pay
of the men, and checked their time only
by what they themselves told him. He
said the job had been created for Wurm
and that no one haa filled a similar
job before or since.
MIGHT GO HOME EARLY.
The first time he knew of Wurm'S dis
appearance. he said, was at 7 o’clock
Monday morning when he arrived at
the plant and asked for him. He ex
plained that Wurm would very likely
not have been missed anyway as It was
not unusual for the night timekeeper
to check the men on Saturday and Sun
day nights and then go home early in
the evening.
As an instance of this he cited the
Fourth of July, when he said Wurm
checked out the men and left for home
within a short time.
Several questions were asked Hastings
by which was brought out the fact that
“Sherlock” Kimberly, supervisor of the
men and general overseer, was away
part of that Sunday night In the compa
ny's automobile, going after hands to
relieve some of the men who were over
come by heat In the plant.
Hastings said that the time slips for
that Sunday night which Wurm was
supposed to leave In his desk for the day
timekeeper, were not there Monday
morning and have never been found.
While Crane's trial was going on at
the court house Thursday morning, city
detectives were grilling Vaster Dogan at
police headquarters. Twice during the
morning they were closeted with him.

BILL TO REPEAL
TAX EQUALIZATION
LAW IS PASSED
Senate's Action May Be An
nulled by House, Which Has
Already Blocked Similar
Measure
The state senate Wednesday morning
: voted to repeal the tax equalization law
j of 1913 by the overwhelming majority of
30 to 7, six senators being absent when
the roll was called.
The repeal mil. Introduced by Senator
A. S. J. Stovall, of the Thirtieth, was
placed upon its passage with a favor
able committee report and at the outset
of the debate which preceded the ballot
ing It was seen that the measure would
pass without difficulty.
Minority leaders in the senate vigor
ously opposed the repeal o' the tax law,
considered the most constructive piece
of legislation enacted in recent years,
but there was no stemming the tide in
favor of the bill of the senator from the
Thirtieth, who, as a member of the
house from Elbert in 1913, fought the
bill he is seeking to repeal.
The repeal bill, as passed, carries a
referendum clause, submitting the ques
tion to the people In the next general
election in the event that the Stovall
bill survives the house. It Is in the
lower assembly that a similar bill has
been effectually blocked so far and It is
the hope of the friends of tax equaliza
tion that the senate bill will meet a sim
ilar fate.
Os the seven men who voted against
the Stoval bill, five spoke against it.
They were Senators Way, of the Second;
Akin, of the Fourth; Pickett, of the Elev
enth; Wrenn, of the Eighteenth; Minter,
of the Twenty-fourth.
Speaking In favor of the repeal were
Senators Moon of the Thirty-seventh;
Thomas of the Third. Adams, of rhe
Thirty-third. Boykin of the Seventeenth.
Pickett of the Forty-first, who also in
troduced the referendum amendment.
The vote on the bill follows.
For the repeal: Adams of the Thirty
third. Bailey of the Thirty-second. Bon
ner of the Thirty-first, Boykin of the
Seventeenth, Buchannan of the Ninth.
Burnside of the Thirty-ninth, Dobbs of
the Thirty-fifth, Fagan of the Twenty
third. Fletcher of the Twenty-sixth, Gil
lis of the Sixteenth, Goolsby of ’he
Twenty-eighth, Haralson of the Fortieth.
Harbin of the Forty-third. Harrison of
the Twenty-fifth, Holden of the Nine

Thirty-fourth; Stovall of the Thirtieth.
Thomas of the Third, Tlson of the
T»nth. Tracy of the Twelfth, Trammell

May Delay Operation
Os Anti-Trust Law
(By Associated Preaa.)
WASHINGTON, July 31—After a
conference between Chairman Overman
and President Wilson, the senate judi
ciary committee today considered an
amendment to the Clayton anti-trust
law to postpone for two years the ef
fectiveness of a section which after Oc
tober 15 would restrict dealings be
tween railroads and other corporations
having common officials or directors.
The plan is to delay putting the sec
tion into effect pending Investigation of
the entire railroad situation by the re
recently created joint congressional
committee. The proposed amendment,
which is earnestly desired by the rail
roads, has the support of the president
and efforts will be made to pass it dur

ssw Wurm crossing the yard toward the
blooming mill. This is the last fime
Wurm was reported seen alive. Lindsay
said he wore a gray cap.
CAP IS SHOWN.
"Is this the cap?” asked Detective
John Starnes, holding up a gray cap.
”1 don’t know.” said Lindsay. Sidney
Glenn, who has seen Wurm’s cap, told
newspaper men that that was not the
cap. Detective Starnes refused to say
where he got It.
Lindsay said that everybody was busy
that night working on a piston that had
broken In the blooming mill. He said
he didn’t think anybody from the me
chanical lepe.rtment, where Wurm
worked, was off.
“Did Wurm ever report the men for
being asleep?” the witness was asked.
He replied that Wurm never did, that
he told Wurm he had enough to do
without spying on the men.
When asked why he refused to an
swer the questions of detectives when
they quizzed him at the steel plant,
Lindsay replied that he “didn’t know.’’
He was followed by 8. E. Kimberly,
known as “Sherlock” and “Doc” because
he is general supervisor and overseer
in case of sickness or prostration at the
plant. He brought the first direct testi
mony against Crane, stating that when
he told the ex-watchman Wurm's body
had been found. Crane displayed marked
emotion.
Kimberly said there are five night
watchmen on duty at ths plant. He was
asked If the watchman on the front
gate had reported seeing Wurm leave
the plant. He said "no.”
SAYS DIET HELPS
CURE PELLAGRA
No Ix>nger Any Uncertainty About
Conquering Dreaded Malady.
Pellagra investigations conducted by
the U. S. Department of Health show
that diet is an important factor In cur
ing Pellagra. However, Dr, Hendon
advocates not only a nutritious diet to
help the patient gain strength but the
use of Baughn’s Pellagra Treatmen*,
which really effects a cure by getting at
the cause. The Baughn treatment has
been so successfu that it Is now sold
with a positive guarantee to cure pella
gra or the money will be refunded The
best way to find out all about pellagra
and its cure is to write to Dr. Hendon,
care American Compounding Company,
box 557-L, Jasper, Ala., asking for their
big book on pellagra, which is sent free
In plain wrapper.
Note: This firm is reliable and does

WALSH SCORES NAMING
OF JUDGE IS CANDIDATE
Senator Says Hughes Was
Named to Save Party,
Not the Country
■ (By Annotated Frets.)
WASHINGTON, July 31.—1 n a speech
today on the Thomas constitutional
amendment to make federal judges in
eligible to any elective office. Senator
Walsh, Democrat, declared that former
Justice Hughes was nominated for the
presidency by the Republicans “to save
his party, not to save the country," and
charged that no more deadly blow ever
had been aimed at the federal judicial
system.
Senator Walsh said it was appropriate
to defer action on the proposed amend
ment until a calmer time, and that the
election tn November would serve as a
referendum on the 'principles involved.
If Mr. Hughes were defeated, he said, no
political party would be likely to have
the hardihood again to name as its can
didate for president a member of the
supreme court; while if he were elected
the Republican party could not stultify
itself by submitting or consenting to
the amendment.
“A departure from the salutary rule
in consequence of which no justice of
the supreme court has ever until now be
come the candidate for any party for
the office of president,” said Senator
Walsh, “can be justified only in some
crisis involving the national life, or
when possibly the state of public morals
should become so corrupt that, as a
brilliant writer puts it, a Papinian or an
Ulpian at the helm of state may be the
only choice as against a Nero or a
Caracalla.
“What condition calls for a disregard
of it in the present exigency? What
radical change is demanded in order to
preserve the country or its institutions
from Impending collapse or ruthless de
struction? From what quarter is our
Independence threatened?”
Senator Walsh said that it was only
just to assume that Justice Hughes'
nomination came to him unsought and
“that he had no hand in the well-ordered
pre-conventlon campaign conducted In
his behalf,” but that “hfs success In the
election would excite hopes In the breast
of men less rigidly scrupulous and it
would, as a practical matter, be impossi
ble to differentiate between the man who
had remained discreetly but expectantly
silent and the man who had actively con
nived at efforts to secure his nomina
tion.”
Mr. Townsend, of Michigan, spoke In
reply. “It Is a compliment to Mr.
Hughes that no one has raised any other
issue against him,’’ he said. “He has
never pandered to classes or to public
sentiment, but has adhered to his duty
as he saw It. He was chosen to lead his
party against the opposition of the sa
called politicians. He accepted because
he believed the people called him and be
cause he believed a national emergney
does exist and has existed for two years
and a half.”

ernoon that they had passed her at that
point. The press boat then took a posi
tion near the dividing point of the Old
Point and Cape Henry channels and
awaited the .coming of the undersea
Vessel.
Shortly before 6 o’clock the first sight
of the craft was obtained Apparently
she was about five miles away and was
low in the water, only her conning tower
showing. The Timmins was a short dis
tance behind her and they were run
ning about seven miles an hour.
When near the entrance of Bobjack
bay the Deutschland sighted the press
boat and Immediately reversed herself
and appeared to be making for the bay.
After running for about two miles she
again head south until she was abreast
the Timmins and then both vessels put
on full steam ahead toward the press
boat. Suddenly they turned off as if to
go down the Old Point channel, but
when the dispatch boat made for the
same channel they again changed their
course and headed directly for Cape
Henry. •
As the Deutschland came on It was
apparent that she was carrying false
superstructure, slightly lower than her
conning tower. It was straw-colored
and blended with the oilskin coats worn
by her crew who crowded the deck. When
about a mile from the press boat the
submersible began to clear away the
false superstructure and taking sound
ings as If preparing to dive. The Tim
mins moved ahead of the undersea liner
and signaled that she intended to pass
on the starboard side. Immediately both
vessels Increased their speed and put
over the starboard.
As the Timmins eame alongside the
press boat at a distance of perhaps 190
feet and with the Deutschland moving
slowly close to her starboard side. Cap
tain Hlnsch, of the German warbound |
steamer Neckar, who had charge of the
clearing of the Deutschland, shouted*
through a megaphone, “Who’s that?” j
Upon being advised that it was a news
paper boat, he shouted the Information
to the Deutschland and then both vessels
moved rapidly.
Sailors on the Deutschland paid no
attention to salutes from the newspaper
boat. They gazed at her silently for a
while and then began putting on their
blue uniform coats.
The Deutschland was displaying red
and green lights set flush on ths two
aides of her conning tower. As she
passed the newspaper boat she put out
these lights.
The Timmins then moved over to the;
port side of the channel about 150 feet
from the Deutschland and they contli!-,
ued In these relative positions for a con-!
siderable distance down the bay.
By this time the sun was setting,,
casting a mellow glow over the water'
in which the Deutschland, resplendent*
in her new trimmings of green and gray
paint, stood out clearly. Within a few
minutes after the sun had set clouds
began to roll up from the horizon and
at a mile away it was difficult to nee
either the crew, in their dark clothing,
or the vessel, painted as she was to,
match the color of the water. The Tim
mins carried her regulation running
lights and during the next ten miles it
was possible to locate the Deutschland
cnly by her convoy.

Federal Reserve Board Sum
marizes Business of Coun
try From July District Re
ports
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. I.—The monthly
summary of business prepared by the
federal reserve board today from re
ports from the agents of the twelve fed
eral reserve districts shows domestic de
mand gradually taking the place of for
eign orders.
“The present trend of business is more
along the line of conservatism which
bankers and business men have been
urging,” the summary stated. "It tends
to a more permanent prosperity. The
pressure to place new orders and to
stock up heavily, which was so preva
lent a month or two ago, is disappear
ing.
“The general business outlook Is sat
isfactory, crops are better than average
In most districts, and the labor situation
is satisfactory everywhere except New
York, where the garment workers are on
strike, and San Francisco, where strikes
continue on the water front.”
ATLANTA'S REPORT.
Atlanta reports business conditions
considerably disturbed as a result of
the recent tropical storm. Cotton and
corn crops suffered heavily, but the
indications are more favorable for citrus
fruits. Jobbers and wholesalers report
light orders because of the storm. The
iron and steel market show little
change.
Richmond says It is difficult to pre
pare a correct report on conditions on
that district before of the demoraliza
tion of train and mall service by the
great storm which swept that section
July 15, causing the deaths of seventy
persons and destroying millions of dol
lars’ worth of property. Summer dull
ness Is said to have taken the edge off
business and crops suffered severely
from the storm. In the Dallas district
the grain crop is said to have been
saved practically without damage, al
thqugh the yield of corn will not be as
heavy as was promised. 801 l weevils
have appeared practically everywhere,
tut except in a few sections have done
no serious damage to cotton.-
“It is gathered from many sources."
says the report, “that trade is teeling
the usual summer depression.”
COTTON RESERVE CITIES.
Boston reports business in almost all
lines continues good, while New i ork
notes little or no change in the indus
trial situation. Statistics show large
increases in imports and exports, but
bank clearings, higher railroad earn
ings and postal receipts, more new cor
porations, greater activity in building
and fewer failures.
"Business continues very good and
the general outlook is encouraging,”
says the Philadelphia report.
From Chicago general satisfactory
business conditions are reported.
St. Louis says: “Business interests
throughout this district report an ac
tive trade equal to if not exceeding
that of the past few months. The out
look seems to be entirely favorable ’’
Minneapolis reports crop conditions
good, with a notable improvement In
corn prospects.
The Kansas City district has had A
fine harvest. General trade conditions
are reported reassuring.
San Francisco reports the financial,
commercial and industrial outlook as
favorable. •

WILSON'S POSITION ON
SUFFRAGE NOT CHANGED
Favors Votes for Women but
Believes It Question for
State Action
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.
Wilson has not changed his position that
the woman suffrage question should be
dealt with by the states, it was an
nounced today at the White House. The
statement was brought forth by the an
nouncement yesterday of Charles E.

Like a Boy at 50 Bubbling Over •
With Vitality—Taking Iron Did It
Doctor says Nuxated Iron is greatest of all strength builders—Often
increases the strength and endurance of delicate, nervous
folks 200 per cent in two weeks time.
NEW YORK, N. Y. —Not long ago a man
came to me who was nearly half a century
old and asked me to give him a preliminary
examination for life insurance. I was aston
ished to find him with the blood pressure of
a boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vi
tality a* a young man; in fact n young man
he really was notwithstanding his age. Tbc
secret he said was taking Iron —nuxated Iron
had filled him with renewed life. At 30 he
wa* in bad health; at 40 careworn and nearly
all in. Now at 50 a miracle of vitality and
his face beamed with the buoyancy of youth.
A* I have said a hundred times over, iron is
the greatest of all strength builders. If people
would only throw away patent medicines and
nauseous concoctions and take simple nuxated
iron. I am convinced that the live* of tbouaands
of persons might be saved, who now die every
year from pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kid
ney, liver and heart trouble, etc. The real and
true cause which started their diseasea was
nothing more nor less than a weakened condi
tion brought on by lack of iron in the blood.
Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your;
blood to change food into living tissue. Without I
it, no matter how much or what you eat, yonri
blood merely passes through you without doing i
you any good. You don’t get the strength ourl
of it, and as a consequence you become weak. I

ARE YOU ADDING
TO YOUR STORE
OF KNOWLEDGE?
At the end of the year, what will you have
added to your knowledge?
If you are regularly reading the really
great books of the world’s literature that
broaden your mind, stimulate your imagina
tion and train your power of expression,
these questions need not worry you.
But if you read only the current literature
of news stand and bookstore, if the classics
are only a name to you, and your reading
only an idle amusement, then these questions
are vital to your mental well-being.
In the great range of world literature,
there are books that appeal to every type of
mind and temperament. Somewhere the
books that will appeal to you, broaden your
vision and enrich your life are awaiting your
attention* But you cannot find them’with
out a guide.
This guide has now been provided by the
United States Bureau of Education. It has
called into conference college professors,
critics and writers. With their aid, it has
compiled lists of books, carefully selected to
cover the greatest possible range and variety
of what is really worth while. These lists
will guide you to the great minds that have
a message for you.
Six lists are now available and others in prepara
tion. When the book is not easily obtainable, publisher
and price are given. The first two lists are of the
world’s great classics, such as Iliad and Odyssey, the
Divine Comedy and Goethe’s Faust. List No. 3 is a
practical reading course for parents. It is a careful
selection of really authoritative works on child’s care,
and sex hygiene and allied topics. List No. 4is a selec
tion of fiction for boys. List No. sis a similar selection
for girls. These are the really great books which have
a strong appeal for youth. List No. 6 comprises thirty
great books of fiction. A reading of these will enable
you to discover your own tastes.
Any one of these courses may be obtained
by addressing The Atlanta Journal Informa
tion Bureau, Washington, D. C., and sending
a 2-cent stamp.
When ordering, please be sure to state
which list you desire.

I he favored an amendment to the fed
eral constitution giving the vote to
women.
A delegation of suffragists saw the
I president yesterday, and afterward Indi
; cated they believed he would make a
i new statement on the question before
I the convention of the National Amer
ican Woman Suffrage association in
, September. At that time the policy to
j be pursued in the presidential campaign
will be determined by the national suf
frage organization.
Today Secretary Tumulty discussed
the question with the president and
afterward announced that Mr. Wilsons
position on the subject was unchanged.
This position, as outlined several titnwi
I to suffragist delegations within the lux
; three years, is that, while he favors
votes for women, he is opposed to fed
eral action.
The president voted for woman’s suf
frage in New Jersey last year.

nouncement was final.
ordinary nuxated iron three time* per day after
meals for two week*. Thee test your strength
again and see for yourself how much you have
gained. I have seen doxene of nervsus, run
down people who were ailing all the while, 1
double their strength and endurance and entire- ’
ly get rid of all symptom* of dyspepsia, liver
and other trouble* in from ten to fourteen day* *
time simply by taking iron In the proper form. ,
And this after they had 1* some cases been
, doctoring for months without obtaining any
benefit. But don't take the old form* of re- "
dncod iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron
simply to save a few cent*. You must take iron
in a form that can be easily absorbed and as- -
slmilated like nuxated iron if you want it to ‘
d<> you any good, otherwise it may prove worse
i than useless. Many an athlete or priaeftghter .
' ha* won the day simply because he knew the
secret of great strength and endurance and
filled his blood with iron before he went into '
the affray, while many another has gone down '«
to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron, ■»

NOTE.—Nuxated iron, recommended above by , .
Dr. Sauer is not a patent medicine nor secret

prescribed by eminent physicians everywhere.
Unlike the older inorganic iron products, it is <-
