RUSSIA REPORTS SUCCESS
Attacks at Several Points in Poland

LONDON, Jan. 20. A Berlin dispatch
says:
"The Russian offensive at Radza
nowa. at Biesun and at Sierpec. in
Northern Poland, near the border of
West Prussia, reported in the German
official bulletin issued on Tuesday last,
appears to have been a part or a con
tinuation of the Russian offensive al
ready reported.
"The Russians seem to have received
reinforcements in this region and to
have advanced in an extended front
either directly northward toward the
Kast Prussian frontier or toward the
west. Their repulse is considered by
military officials here to have removed
any present danger in that locality."
The following communication from
general headquarters of the Russian
army was received from Petrograd to
day: "In the region north of Rawa the
Germans made two attempts at a par
tial offensive. The enemy was com
pelled to fall back.
"In the evening of January IS the
Germans In the region of the village of
Vitkoriuie (on the left bank of the
Bzura) made an attack against the
head of the bridge under the glare of
searchlights, rockets and burning
straw. This attack was repulsed by
our artillery.
"The same evening in Western Ga
llcia the Germans, after cannonading
heavily our positions south of the small
town of Radloff and setting on fire
two villages behind our positions, made
an attack on them. Compact detach
ments of the enemy reached our barbed
wire entanglements, but our destruc
tive fire prevented further progress.
They suffered heavy losses' and were
compelled to fall back on their posi
tion. "In Bukovain our troops have occu
pied, after some fighting, tho village
of Ichaneschti, about ten miles north
of Watra Dorna, where they captured
and made prisoners both officers and
men."
A Constantinople dispatch, received
via Berlin, says:
"During a night attack on the Eng
lish fotrs on the Shat el Arab River
in Arabia, the enemy was taken by
surprise and lost 100 in killed and
wounded. I
"A British cavalry division attempted
to surprise a Turkish cavalry division
near the junction of the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers. The attack was
made under the protecting fire of a
gunboat, but the British suffered
heavy loss and the gunboat withdrew.
An Jndian expeditionary force is op
erating in ithis region at the head of
the Persian Gulf. It was officially an
nounced early in December that the
Turkish forces at Kurm bad surren
dered unconditionally and that the
place was subsequently occupied by
the British, thus giving them control
of the country from the junction of
the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to the
Persian Gulf.

LICENSE PLAN PROPOSED
Xew Method of Regulation Suggest-
ed for Electrical Code.
and charging of an inspection fee, to
solve the question of regulating the
tng electrical work, may be included
in the proposed new electrical coae, in
place of a provision requiring con
tractors to furnish $100 cash bonds.
Labor organizations have opposed
bitterly the cash bond proposal because,
it is said, it would put individual con
tractors out of business because of
cash. The new proposal will require
every conuavuir w vo-y o.u .uuuai
cense of $25. Much stress has been
placed upon the need of regulating the
home owner who does his own elec
trical work. It is proposea now to per
mit any person to do wiring on his
own premises by paying the usual elec
trical permit fee of 50 cents.
LABOR AGAINST CHANGES
Unions to Ask Legislature to Sus
tain People's Vote Action.
The various labor unions of Portland
have been active for the past week in
shaping a proposed memorial to the
Legislature asking tnat tne peoples
will, whether put into effect by the
Initiative or the referendum, not be
tampered with by the Legislature. The
local unions are taking tnaivio.ua. ac
tion, and action through the Building
Trades Council and the Central Labor
Council, gradually getting the pro
posed memorial into shape for presen
tation before the Oregon State Federa
tion of Labor. The State Federation
then will be asked formally to memo
rialize the Legislature.
The committee of the local union of
the painters, decorators and paper
hangers in charge of the proposal is
composed of E. H. Pickard, O. W. Hart
wig and Albert Raymond.
THOMAS O'DAY 1S .ILL

Day. Judge O'Day is one of tho most
prominent lawyers and Democrats in

The girl who simulated an attempt

To add more realism to tne scene,
two of the Manhattan's crew cleared
a lifeboat instantly and lowered it into

the water and went through all the
maneuvers of attempting to reach the

rescuer and Mtss Ehrman said when
they ' were finally pulled aboard the
Patrol that the water numbed their
fingers completely, but did not affect
their arms.
"The moment I struck the water,"
Miss Ehrman explained, "I felt a ter
rible Icy shock.. After that I was all
right. I wasn't bothered again until
I was carried to the Patrol's deck and
they fitted the lung motor to my face.
I wondered then if they thought I was
really unconscious or if it was Just
some more of the picture. Then when
I was carried into the warm cabin I
felt all at once the effect of the whole
exposure and suffered terribly. But
I'm all right now."

FALSE TITLE CONFESSED
NEW YORKER ADMITS TAKING CITY
JOB BY MISNOMER.
John P. Fox Told lie Is "Expert Con
sulting; Engineer," so He ITses
Description on His Card.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12. John P. Fox.
whose card bears the title of expert
consulting engineer on the committee
of -city plan of the Board of Estimate,
was the first witness called on resump
tion of the investigation of the Mu
nicipal Civil service Commission by the
State Civil Service Commission in the
Municipal building.
Fox said he was a consulting engi
neer but later admitted that he was
not a graduate engineer, mechanical
or electrical, and never had taken any
degree of engineering from any insti
tution. He said be was a "technical"
engineer.
Asked if he did not consider it wrong
to accept a position under a false title,
he said he never had called himself a
consulting engineer, but that when in
ducted into his position he was told
he was an "expert consulting engi
neer." He said he had studied city con
ditions and plans on railroads in Eng
land and in Paris and had studied arch
itectural conditions in this city. He
was a member of the city plan com
mittee of the City Club and the Citi
zens' Union.
Fox was appointed July 8 last at a
salary of $250 a month, to hold his
position until an appropriation of
S2000 for tne purposes or ms worn
was exhausted. He did not take an
examination, and was exempted from
the civil service regulations. The
State Commission ratified his appoint
ment one month after he received hiB
position.
ALBANY, Jan. 12. Governor Whit
man's admission that he will asE the
Legislature for carte blanche in the
matter of getting rid of the present
State Civil Service Commission and
selecting an entirely new one. only
confirms what -has been known for
some time to be the Intention of the
executive.
The Governor has been holding off
to see if the two Democratic members
of the commission would respond
gracefully to his pointed suggestion
that the resignations of the members
be sent in without delay. Several
days ago, in answer to such a sugges
tion. Commissioner Lavery, the Repub
lican member, promptly placed his res
ignation in the Governor's hands, but
the Democrats stood pat on their dig
nity and "vested rights." The position
they take is that resignation would be
tacit admission that they have been un
worthy of their trusts, and they are in
no mood to help the Governor out. As
their terms have some time to run, the
only alternative is the one the Gover
nor has chosen legislating them out
of office and no one doubts this will
be accomplished with expedition.
CENT CLEARS CONSCIENCE
Woman AVho Defrauded Slot Ma
chine Makes ( Restitution.
JUNCTION CITY, Kan., Jan. 15.
Because she "cheated" the weighing
machine in the Union Pacific Depot
here out of a penny more than a year
ago, the conscience of an Abilene wom
an has been bothering her ever since,
Anoordine' to a letter received by G. W.
Mills, the company's agent here.
In her letter the woman stated that
more than a year ago sne ana ner
daughter were in the depot waiting for
a train. The daughter placed a penny
in the weighing machine, and after it
had registered her weight, and before
she stepped from the machine the
mother stepped on also and was
weighed free. This worried her so much
that she inclosed a stamp in tne letter
and asked Mr. Mills to place a penny
in the weighing machine, thus easing
her conscience.

In her complaint she sets forth tnat
