(By International News Service.)
PARIS, March 13.—French troops
xn their counter attacks against the
left wing of the German army men
acing Verdun have scored a success,
the French War Office announced in
an official communique issued this
afternoon. The success was won in
Le Petre forest, where.the French
troops penetrated a German trench on
2 front of 200 yarde. The French re
turned to their original lines after
satting off mines.
The communique states that there
#as no infantry action in the region
‘0 the north of Verdun. It says:
“The bombardment continued dur
ng the night against Bethincourt and
‘n the region of Dovaumont, as well
as in the Woevre region. In the sec
ors of Moulainville and Ronvaux our
irtillery is showing great activity on
he entire front. '
“In Lie Petre forest a body of our
roops penetrated an enemy trench
near Croix des Cannes on a'front of
about 200 yards. Having exploded
mines and caused some losses to tho'
enemy, this body of troops returned to
wur lines with twenty prisoners.
“The night was calm on the rest of
the front. !
Air Squadron Busy. :
“One of our bombarding groups in a
night flight threw 30 shells of large
caliber upon the rallway station of
Conflans, where five houses are known
to have been set on fire. Though vio- ‘
lently shelled, all our machines re- |
turned undamaged.”
All along the Verdun front and far- 2
ther west along the Aisne River gi-|
gantic artillery duels raged all dnyi
Sunday and througout the greater
part of the night. ‘
The thunder of the big guns could
be heard on the outskirts of Paris.
Increased activity on the part of the
German airmen led to reports that the
Germans were carrying out fresh
troop movements behind their front
and that the German aviators were
trying to keep the French air scouts
from learning the destination of the
fresh reserves. ‘
Refugees are flocking into Paris in
great numbers from the Verdun dis
trict. They .tate that the small towns
of Eix, Moulainville, Damloup and
Bras, north and east of Verdun, have
been wiped out by the terrific big gun
duels.
Girl & Verdun Heroine.
Officers from the Verdun sector say
that last week's slaughter of Germans
| around Vaux reached a record mark
Among the refugees arriving here
was 15-year-old Josephine Denis, one
of the heroines of the Verdun fight
With her was an aged peasant woman
whose life the girl had saved. - When
the hamlet of Monthariens, a suburb
of Verdun, was bombarded the aged
peasant woman ocould not flee with
the other inhabitants because of il
ness. Josephine went to the sick
woman's side and remained with her
throughout the bombardment. When
the old woman war able to walk she
and Josephine left the ruined hamlet
together

failure to pay $75 a month alimony to
his wife, Mrs. Mary Waddiil Furnival,
who sued him and was granted a di
vorce in August, 1914, Captain Rich
ard Furnival, U. S, A, occupies a cell
to-day in the city jail. He can get
his release when he puts up a $4,000
bond required by the State Court of
Appeals, which has granted him a
writ of supersedeas. The army officer
was sent to jail by Judge Moncure, of
the Chancery Court, after being ar
raigned for contempt.
Mrs. Furnival, who is a daughter ot|
Judge Edmund Waddill, of the United
States Court for the Eastern District
of Virginia, was allowed alimony by
the Chancery Court after being
awarded a' decree of divorce. Cap
tain Furnival noted an appeal to the
Virginia Supreme Court. Meantime
‘he was ordered to pay alimony. He
had only recently returned from the
Philippines, where he was stationed
when the divorce decree was granted.

Police Board Control
Officials and politiclans who com
posed the nucleus of the defeated re
call movement were planning Mon
day, with boasts of success, to cap
ture control of the Police Commission
‘Tuesday night by the election of
‘(‘ommisuuner C. J. Vaughan, of the
| Fourth Ward, chairman, and the ce
menting of a majority of the board to
handle the affairs of the police de
partment
With five sure votes, they tn.lodi
their hopes of success on the atti
tudes of Harry G. Poole, the newly
elected Second Ward Commissioner,
and Robert Holland, of the Tenth
Ward, who is on J. I. Lowry's ticket
for Sheriff.
Commissioner Robert C. Clarke, of
the Eighth Ward, has had seven votesl
promised him for chairman, a major
ity agreeing on such policies as would
continue the present regime in conse
trol of the police. But the assurance
of Clarke's election and a continua
tion in control of the powers that be,
was brought into sharp question Mon
day by the counter claims for
Vaughan ,
Claims of Vaughan.
The Vaughan men make no claim
of support from Mayor Woodward,
Counciiman Edwin Johnson, Commis

King, with Clarke, make five.
On the other hand, Commissioners

Wardlaw, 1. F. Styron and Vaughan

The movement that has centeped
the fight with Poole and Holland s
operated by many wheels within

less control of affairs for a number of
years

i Anos companies,
Mrs. Hollie Pannelle, who shot o\
death her husband, L. Pdward Pan
nelle, in their home, No. 47 Chastaln'
street, last Wednesday, and in whouel
case the Fulton County Grand Jury
Monday returned a *“no bill,” was re
leased from custody Monday after
noon and left Police Headquarters
with her sister, Mrs. C. O. Pylant,
of No. 230 Hendrix avenue, with whom
she will make her home.
Mrs. Pannelle was overjoyed when
told of the Grand Jury's action, -
'“T knew ‘they'd free me,” she said.
“T just had to shoot him in self-de
fense. I'm so grateful to the people
who have alded me in this trouble,
and especially to Mrs. Mamie Heard,
the Police Matron, who has been most
kind and considerate of me while I
‘have been detained here in her quar
ters. I want to thank the newspa
pers, too, for the Interest they have
taken in my case.”
| The Grand Jury, F. J. Cooledge,
foreman, had consumed two hours in
iheartng evidence before itg decision
was made and a “no bill” rendered. |
The testimony of little Elva Pan
nelle, 15-year-old daughter of the
prisoner, was said to have been the
principal factor in swaying the Grand
Jury. Elva, who had maintained li-‘
lence ever gince the tragedy, broke
down and cried when the jurymen‘
questioned hsr, but she sivod braveiy
by her mother. She sa!d her father
had threatend to beat her, that her
mother had protested, and then her
father said he “would beat mothar
instead.” FElva said she ran out of
the room then and did not see the a:-
tual shooting
The two smaller children—Helen, &,
and Mildred, 4 -were questioned by
the jury and they told what they
could, though evidently greatly fright
enad. Pannelle's mother, Mrs. Annie
Farmer, and his sister, Mrs. C. C
Holt, were examined, as were De
tective W. F. Harper, Undettaker E 4
F. Bond, Dr. J. W. Hurt and several
relatives of the Pannelle family
The action of the Grand Jury prac
tically ends the case, it is belleved
Ilt can not consider the charges agains:
Mrs. Pannelle again, though a future
Grand Jury has power to reopen i.
It is not considered likely that a war
rant will be taken out for Mrs. Pan

this would merely hold Mr. Pannelle
for Grand Jury action, and in view of
Monday's decision this would be fu

WASHINGTON, March 13.—8ecretary of State Lansing made
public this afternoon the text of a telegram sent to First Chiefl
Carranza, of the Mexican De Facto Government, in which the
United States accepts in full the proposal for a reciprocal agree
ment in dealing with bandits along the Mexican border.
| Lansing declares that this arrangement is very gratifying te
‘the United States Government. In making public the text of the
telegram to Carranza, Secretary Lansing also issued the following
statement: :
“In order to remove any apprehensions that may exist either
in the United States or in Mexico, the President has authorized me
to give in his name the public assurance that the military opera~
tions now in contemplation by this Government will be scrupu
lously confined to the objects already announced and that in no
circumstances will they be suffered to trench in any degree upon
the sovereignty of Mexico or develop into intervention of any kind
‘in internal affairs of our sister republic.
| "'On the contrary, what is now being done is deliberately in
tended to preclude the possibility of intervention.” L
‘ TEXT OF THE TELEGRAM.
| The text of the telegram which was sent to Carranza was coms«
| municated to Ambassador Designate Arredondo here, It was ad«
| dressed to Consul Billiman, who is with Carranza, as follows:
| "You are instructed to reply as follows to Secretary Acuna’s
| note of March 10:
i "'The Government of the United States has received the cous
t’teous note of Benor Acuna and has read with saisfaction his sug
gestion for reciprocal privileges to the Amermican and Mexican
,authorities in the pursuit and apprehension of outlaws who infest
| their respective territories lying along the international bounfl
|and which are a constant menace to the lives and property of
| dents of that region.
i ““The Government of the United States, in view of the unusus}
|state of affairs, which has existed for some time along the inter
| national boundary, and earnestly desiring to co-operate with the
| defacto government of Mexico to suppress this state of lawlessness,
| of which the recent attack on Columbus, New Mex., is a deplorabls
|example, and to insure peace and order in the regions contiguous
'to the boundary between the two republice, readily grants permis
|gion for military forces of the de facto government of Mexico to
|cross the international boundary in pursuit of lawless bands of
| armed men, who have entered Mexico from the United States, com
mitted outrages on Mexican soil and fled into the United States, on
' the understanding that the de facto government of Mexico mnh
| the reciprocal privilege that the military forces of the United States
| may pursue across the international boundary into Mexican tervi.
|tory lawless bands of armed men who have entered the United
| Btates from Mexico, committed outrages on American soil and fled
[into Mexico
AGREEMENT IN FULL FORCE.
‘“The government of ;he United States understands M:
view of its agreement to the reciprocal arrangement proposed ’
the de facto government, the arrangement is now complete and in
force and the reciprocal privileges thereunder may accordingly be
exercised by either government without further interchange of
views. b
‘lt is a matter of sincere gratification to the government of
the United States that the de facto government of Mexico hag
evinced so cordial and friendly spirit of co-operation in the efforts
of the authorities of the United States to apprehend m
the bands of outlaws who seek refuge beyond the in
boundary in the erroneous belief that the constituted suthorities
will resent any pursuit across the boundary by the forces of the
government whose citizens have suffered by the crimes of the
fugitives. :
““With the same spirit so cordial friendship the government of
the United States wflfi’ exercise the pflme granted by the de
facto government of Mexico in the hope confident ix’tma :
that by their mutual efforts lawlessness will be eradicated and
peace and order maintained in the territories of the United States
‘and Mexico contiguous to the international boundary. :
