2 CENTS
RUSSIANS ARE DRIVEN BACK
HOT
DUEL ON AT PONCEY
ADMITS HE
TOOK CITY TO TRY TO
FUNDS RETAKE IT
Dr. Louis Hollander, formerly su
perintendent of the Battle Hill Tu
berculosis Sanitarium, Friday con
fessed before the city and county
committee in charge of the institu
tion to spending money for himself
that was intended for other employes
of the hospital. He said he did not
know the amount but would take it
for granted that most of the evidence
collected by Dr. Claude A. Smith and
Dr. J. P. Kennedy, city health physi
cians, was correct.
The confession came at the con
clusion of a lengthy examination by
the committee during which Dr. Hol
lander made rather indefinite answers
to specific questions.
“Do you admit taking money to
which you were not entitled?” Al
derman Edgar Dunlap, chairman of
the committee asked.
Doesn’t Know Amount.
"1 do,“ answered Dr. Hollander.
“How much did it amount to?*' con
tinued the Alderman.
“I can’t say but I could figure it
up from your list,” said Dr. Holland*
er.
"Yes," said Mayor Woodward ‘‘we
know you can do that but can you
figure it up yourself.”
“I do not know the amount you
have there, but I’ll admit it,” said Dr.
Hollander.
Dr. Smith said the total was $850.
Wife Drew Salary.
The largest single item was $450
marked to R. E. Scott, as housekeep
er, at $50 a month. Dr. Hollander
said thi^. was the maiden name of his
wife. He said she would "come out
occasionally and look through the
kitchen and about the hospital
Dr. Hollander denied evidence that
he took provisions from the store
room. In all other specific instances
he had an explanation. He said he
held back pay of nurses to buy them
uniforms and in other instances he
held back pay to see if they made
good. Only in answer to the general
confession did he incriminate him
self.
The records of his dealings with the
City Comptroller show everything to
be absolutely straight, the signatures
of all nurses and employees who had
testified that they failed to get the
money due them being on the pay
rolls.
“How old are you?” asked Mayor
Woodward.
“I am 32,“ he answered.
“Why did you do this?” the Mayor
asked.
Tempt ed.HePleads.
“I was in debt and temptation came
my way. In every other way I did
my best to run the institution well
and I think it will show it has been
run well since I went there more
than a year ago.”
“What do you think w'e should do
to you?" continued the Mayor.
“Speaking for myself. I don’t care,”
said Dr. Hollander. “My wife and
child are my only concern.”
He said if given a chance he would
do all he could to get the money and
repay the city.
The committee excused him from
the room and unescorted he went to
Dr. Smith’s office.
The committee, Mayor Woodward,
Alderman Dunlap, Doctors Smith and
Kennedy and County Commissioner
W. L. Gilbert, decided to confer with
City Attorney James L. Mayson be
fore deciding upon their next step.

BERLIN, May 14.—The Austro-
German army under General von
Mackensen, which has rolled back the
Russians through Galicia and from
their strong positions in the Car
pathians, is now' before Przemysl, it
was officially announced to-day by
the German War Office. Continuing
their victorious sweep eastward, the
Austro-German forces will attempt to
recapture the city, according to the
intimation in to-day’s announce
ment. At the same time it was Ad
mitted that the Russians had pene
trated to the German trenches at
Przasnysz before being repulsed.
The claims that the Germans are
f ln a position to give battle for the
possession of Przemysl is the most
important information given out since
she announcement of the battle in
Western Galicia and the subsequent
Russian retreat all along the line.
Przemysl was captured by the Rus
sians on March 22 after a siege of
many months, during which it was
gallantly defended by an Austrian
army.

WASHINGTON, May 14.—The
meeting of President Wilson’s Cabinet
to-day was devoted to an analysis of
the public reception of the President's
note to Germany. Most of the Cabi
net members make no secret of their
elation over the general satisfaction
and acclaim with which the note has
been greeted. Many telegrams were
read commending the note and prom
ising the President support in what
ever action he may take.
The Cabinet practically has aban
doned its consideration of routine and
departmental problems to devote its
time to the foreign situation. Dif
ferences said to have existed in the
Cabinet as to the treatment of the
Lusitania question now have disap
peared. and the President is receiving
full support of the Cabinet.
Expect German Refusal.
That Germany will not yield to the
demands of the United Staes. but will
Justify her submarine warfare and
will assert her right to continue the
plans she has laid out to destroy the
cgprimerce of England and all other
nations no# carrying munitions of
war and other supplies to her enemies
is the prevailing opinion in Washing
ton offleal circles to-day.
Then what?
Germany herself must determine.
But it is not believed that Presi
dent Wilson and hls advisers will go
further than to denounce Germany as
an outlaw among nations, for war—
actual fighting—is not regarded as a
possibility, as Germany is the one
belligerent that can not at this time
strike back at the United States. All
her warships, except submarines, are
behind fortifications, therefore she
can not send soldiers across the At
lantic.
To Avoid Warlike Step.
“On the other hand, it is not be
lieved that the United States would
send her soldiers to European waters
when there !s nothing visible to fight
The President, it is declared, will di
rect hls efforts to the avoidance of
war in any rorm. a warlike step to be
taken only when it becomes neces
sary to protect this country’s com
merce on the seas.
If things come to the worst, it is
said, the President would discontinue
diplmatic relations with Germany,
seize German vessels now Interned
in this country and designate tor
pedo destroyers to convoy merchant
vessels to European ports which are
likely to be attacked by aubmarinea
"Germany can never meet the Pres
ident’s demands,” said a prominent
official to-day. “It is out of the ques
tion for her to do so without aban
doning her submarine campaign
