BERLIN, Aug. 18. Kovno, the

the Slavs retreated from Warsaw and

nounced. "Kovno, together with the allies
forts and war materials not yet count
ed, is in German hands since last
'More than
400 cannon have been taken. The
forts were stormed despite a strong
resistance.'"
The capture of Kovno is the most
important German victory since the
fall of Warsaw. Its occupation fore
casts the surrender by the Slavs of
the Kovno-Brest Litovsk line, along
which the Russians planned to make a
stand until their armies had recovered
from the Vistula defeat and obtained
more ammunition.
With the northern base of this line
captured, , the Austro-Germans under
von Mackenzen are now within strid

southern base. The fall of this fort

line untenable. Von Hindenburg was

the fence on the Franklin street side.
Mrs. Foote states that she got up

ATLANTA. Aug. 18. Governor
Harris will supervise the investigation
being made into the lynching of Leo
Frank. The governor is not satisfied
with the interest shown In th Frank
case by the state prison board. He
has desired an explanation of conditi
ons at Miliedgeville, which resulted In
prison officials offering no resistance
to Frank's kidnaping. The action of
the Atlanta police in permitting
crowds to view Frank's body at an un
dertaking establishment also wilt be
investigated.
Frank's body will be taken to
Brooklyn for burial at midnight.
Some blame Harris for the condi
tions on the prison farm which per
mitted the kidnaping of Frank by
lynchers. He is also being criticized
for delivering a speech to confederate
veterans at Fitzgerald when he had
not been Informed officially of Frank's
fate, although he knew the prisoner
had been taken away and had receiv
ed newspaper reports of the lynching.
Numerous denials and excuses came
from officials, but the nationwide
criticism has stirred the state and
ers into activity. The In

Plan Afoot to Mark Grave
ot Popular Round- Up Rider
To mark the grave of Otto Kline,
champion trick rider of the world
and favorite with past Round-up au
diences, the Billboard, popular the
atrical magazine, has started a cam
paign for subscriptions from hit wild
west friends.
Kline was killed last spring In the
circus arena at Madison Square Oar
den, New York, when performing
with the wild west troupe In the
Burnum St Bailey circus. He was do
ing his trick riding on his favorite
mare, Kitty. He had been vaulting
over the saddle and back while going
at full speed and his little mare had
slHrted toward him on the run.
Kline Intended grasping her mane
and vaulting into the saddle without
touching leather. His hand slipped
and the accident was over instantly.
He fell beneath the animal's feet and
one steel-shod hoof struck him
squarely on the forehead, fracturing
his skull., He was taken to the
Bcllevue hospital where he died
within three hours without regaining
consciousness. .
Kline was one of the most popular
of wild west performers. Genial, full
of fun, daring and without a peer in
his line, he was a gentleman at all
times. His loss Is a big one to the
wild west world. The move to erect
a suitable monument over his grave
will doubtless meet with generous response.
