T
INFLIGHT,
CZAR'S REPORT
They Are Fleeing, Abandon
ing Supplies and Cannon
in Southern Galicia, Ac
cording to Petrograd.
fTTntt4 Trim taeed Wlra.)
Petrograd, Dec, 10. Russian suc
cesses against Germans, Austrian and
Turks were claimed here today.
So pronounced . was 'the advance
gainst the Germans and Avstriaos
declared to be that their speedy expul
sion from the czar's territory was pre
dicted. " '"'
To the west of Warsaw, It was said,
the only thing which was delaying the
Russians progress . was the condition
of the roads. This admittedly was
making tbe army's movements slow.
The fighting was described as consist
ing mainly of artillery encounters.
In southern Gallcia the Austrians
were reported not only to have been
beaten, but routed, and- In precipitate
flight. Such was their haste. It was
declared, that they were abandoning
equipment, supplies and cannon, which
were falling Into the Bus elans' hands.
The latter were said to have surround
ed many of the fugitives and their cap
ture was expected.
Bumming matters up, !t was stated
that the situation in both Poland and
Gallcia was much Improved, from the
Russian standpoint, and a general Rus
sian advance was prophesied, before
tbe Muscovite New Tear, January 13.
In the Caucasus the czar's troops
. were said to have taken the Turks'
trenches at "Merdenek at the point of
the bayonet. Cossacks were reported
also In the vicinity of Khorassan. The
Ottoman fordB were conceded to be
fighting hard and many encounters at
nine amrttn were described.
The Turks were accused of behaving
with bestial ferocity to non-com Datani
residents of the Russian territory they
have accuBied. massacring thousands
of men and outraging and torturing
men.
The Trench claimed to have ad
vanced slightly in the Four-de-Paris
rerlon. between the Argonnob and
the Moselle, especialy on the heights
of tbe Mouse; fierce artillery duels
were reported In progress, and in the
Vosges, a German attack on Tete de
Faux was said to have been re
pulsed. AUSTRIANS ARE NOT
ROUTED, WAR OFFICE
AT VIENNA ASSERTS
' Vienna, via Berlin and London, Dee.
, So. Russian stories of an Austrian
rout in aallcia were denied by the war
office.
The Austrian force had been com
pelled to withdraw, it was true, said
the official statement, but the move
' en out was purely strategic and it was
executed in perfect order and without
losses of artillery or transport equip
ment Losses la killed, wounded and
captured, it was added, were not out
of proportion to the number of "men
engaged.
The war office confessed that regret
was felt at the necessity for abandon
" ing operations for Prxemysl's relief.
So far as northern Gallcia was con
cerned, it was asserted the Austrian
front was intact, no general retreat
-having occurred anywhere, though
there had been some withdrawals to
straighten the lines. The Hapeburg
forces were said to be still holding the
Sromnlk-Sortics, Jabliska line of
trenches.
. That ths Russians had resumed op
erations against Cracow was denied.
Tbe Montenegrins ware reported to
have renewed their activity and to
.' have made repeated attacks on Treb
. Inje, where, however, it was declared
they were repulsed.

ON INTERSTATE
BEGIN BEFORE
Chairman Holman' Calied
'Meeting of the Commission
for This Afternooni
Should nothing interfere with pres
ent plans the interstate bridge be
tween Portland and Vancouver wllij
prooawy be actually In course of con
struction before tbe end of ' February,
according to E. E. Howard of the firm
of Harrington, Howard & Ash, engi
neers of the great bridge. But two
questions remain to be settled before
construction bids can be advertised
for, the completion of right of way ne
gotiations and the determination of
tolls to be collected.
Rufus C Holman. chairman of Jfce
commission, composed of the county
commissioners of Multnomah county
and Clarke county. Washington, and
Governor West, has called a meeting
of the commission this afternoon at 4
o'clock to discuss the preliminary
steps to be taken. Governor West, it
la expected, will be present.
Wffl Discuss Tolls.
At the meeting it will m-nhnMTr h
determined whether tolls will be
fixed at such a rate that the, bridge
bonds can be redeemd from the pro
ceeds as well as the interest and oper
ating cnarges paia irom the income.
That matter was discussed this morn
ing. Commission er-elee t Philo Hol
brook was Invited to take part In this
aiternoon s meeting.
District Attorney Evans and J. Fred
Larson reported this morning that all
right of way except strips owned by
the Union Meat company and by the
P. R, I. & P. Co. are under , option,
and that it can be secured when want
ed. Mr. Larson was asked to vgo on
with negotiations with the two com
panies for the remainder.
District Attorney Evans advised the
commissioners that he understood the
legislature would be asked to amend
the bridge law by making the present
Driag commission permanently cus
todian of the bridge Instead of placing
ue onraen on tne state railroad com
mission, as the present law does.
He said that he saw no difficulty in
the way of the commission negotiating
with any company for the lease of
the bridge for street car service, nro-
vlded the railroad commission and the
Clarke county commissioners aereed.
Under such a provision, he said, the
railroad commission could not object
to taKing over the lease should the
law remain as at present, and the rail
road commission assume control when
the bridge is completed. The only re
strictions placed on the commission,
be said, were that perpetual or ex
clusive franchises could not be granted.
Mr. Howard reported that the plans
and specifications were in the bands
of the printers, , and that he antici
pates their arrival in a few days.
To Keep Money Kara.
"I cannot say what portion of the
11,750,000 provided for the bridge will
be used for labor and how much for
materials," Mr. Howard said, "but I !
can say that every dollar that wo can i
possibly turn to local manufacturers
and to local labor will go their way. I !
do not anticipate that much outside of
the steel work will come from eastern
points. I do not see why many artisans
should be brought from outside points,
for I believe that practically every
trade to be employed is well represent
ed on tbe Pacific coast."
The company has offices in the A Ins
worth building.
Kxaxniner Fred Rascb, of the rail
road commission, is preparing figures
to show the traffic which crosses the
Vancouver ferry that the commission
may have data on which to base what
ever tolls may be decided upon.

CITY'S AUTHORITY IS
WIDENED BY
OF COURT, SAYS DALY
Chance for Regulating Rates
of Public Utilities Seen by
City Commissioner,
KALISH CASE IS RECALLED
Matter Is Now Being Considered With
City Attorney "La Boohs; to D
cide Issue in Bear Puture. '
That the recent decision of the su
preme court in the Peter Kallsh case
holding that the city had the power of
regulating the speed of automobiles
within its limits opens the way for the
city to regulate public utility compa
nies and their , rates, is the belief of
Will H. Daly, commissioner oX public
utilities. He is now studying the de
cision with City Attorney La Boche.
Mr. La Roche, however, has studied
the opinion written tiy Judge McNary
and he believes that further investi
gation may prove that the city has the
power of regulation of utilities, within
its limits. He. would give no definite
information this morning, however, as
he had not gone into the matter thor
oughly.
In the case Of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company, wherein the
city attempted to reduce the street car
fares, the federal court held1 thatf the
city was without jurisdiction, the
power being vested in the railroad com
mission under the utility act as voted
on by the people.
"Whether or not' the federal court
would change its decision," said Mr.
La Roche, in view of the facts con
tained in the opinion of the supreme
court I ' am not in a position to say.
The opinion- has a number of Interest
ing angles and further developments
might prove that the city has the
power of regulation under its charter
in cases wherein the power is now sup
posed to rest with the railroad com
mission.
REMONSTRANCES OVERRULED
Council Will Make Another Attempt
to Widen and Pave Broadway.
Another attempt is to be made to
widen Broadway at Wheeler and hard
surface the street from the Broadway
bridee to Union avenue. The city
council this morning overruled two re
monstrances filed against the pro
posed assessment for the cost of
widening the street and Commis
sioner Dieck was asked to prepare a
resolution providing for the improve
ment.
B. T. Soden and Emily E. Lover
id ge, owners of property which would!
be assessed for the cost of removing
a jog in the street at Wheeler, has
protested against the mprovement on
the ground that they had already paid
several assessments for Improvements.
On Commissioner Diecks recom
mendation the council overruled these
objections and gave an ordinance Pro
viding for the widening first and i
second readings. Last August tbs
council passed an ordinance providing
for the widening, but it was remon
strated out.
Following the action CommiBsioner
Bigelow asked that Commissioner
Dieck introduce an ordinance provid-1
ing for the improvement of. the street
with hard surface pavement and the
council unanimously agreed that this
should be done.
This means that another attempt
will be made to force through the im
provement, which is believed by many
to be & public necessity, it has Dean j
strenuously . opposed by the property
owners within that district.
