Indications that tho long-expected often-

lifctpin wero contained In dispatches received
(there this afternoon.
t! By a sudden blow on the Doiran front, 38
' miles north of Salonlca, French troops have
; cipturcd the railway station at Doiran,
evacuated by the Allies when they retreated
i from Serbia last fall. An official statement
from the French War OfTlco carried this an-
. nounctment this afternoon.
: An Athens dispatch to the Central News
at about the same hour reported a- great
battle' raging on the Balkan front. The
Allies have occupied not drily tho Doiran
i station, but high ground adjacent, tho dls-
ttch eald.
Itofte British War Office thus far has
'f5K no announcement of the beginning
iHf ' great drive expected to sweep the
jinnies of the Central Empires out of Ser
bia. For several days advices from Ger
wn sources, however, have reported In
creasing anxiety at Berlin over rumors that
Una Allies' Balkan offensive was about to
Win wljlle the great triple offensive on
the western, eastern and Italian fronts are
lUnder way.
gTbe Allhn, Berlin reported, planned to
iqueeie the Austro-Germnns and Bulgara
b pressure on four front3 simultaneously,
loping at the came time to draw Rumania
Into the war against the Austro-Germans.
gNo Important fighting ha3 occurred on the
Balkan front since last December, when the
Anglo-French expeditionary forces under
General Sarrall, retired from southern Scr

tfAuatro-Giirmans and Bulgars. Artillery

crested the Greek border and occupied small

As more evidence Is gathered by the de
tectives Investigating tho cause of the death
of Harry Frankenfield, Insurance broker,
of 1800 Diamond street, who was found
dying early yosterday morning In front of
a house at ICOjO Wallace street, the theory
that he was killed by a fall to the street
becomes stronger In the mlnda of the In
vestigators. The police say he may" have come to his
death In one of these three ways:
He may have been thrown or may
have fallen from the second-story win
dow of the house occupied by Mrs. May
Stelgerwald.
In a fight with some person a fight
In the hall .of the house he may have
been shoved out the door and down tho
steps against the foot scraper.
Or, as witnesses so far have said,
he may have lost his balance as he
was ringing the front door bell of the
house, falling down the steps against
the foot scraper.
Dr. Thomas A. Shallow, 2043 Walnut
street, the first physician called to examine
Frankenfield, said today that It was difficult
for him to believe that the man could have
received the Injuries he did In a fall down
42 Inches of steps.
"It might be possible for a man to re
ceive such Injuries," said the physician,
"but ordinarily a greater fall than that
Quarantlno of vice resorts as tho most
effective remedy, as opposed to segregation,
Is upheld by the Grand Jury In Its present
ment covering three weeks' Investigation of
conditions prevailing In this city. The pre
sentment was handed to Judge Rogers this
afternoon.
Indictment of Magistrate Joseph Call for
accoptlng "icraw ball" for tho release of
women taken In polico nitds also Is sug
gested, together with Indictment of Con
stablo Beaumont, of Call's ofllce. In the
same connection.
Conditions In theSlxth and Eighth police
polico districts the Tonderloln aro pro

mandors, now under suspension, are not held
to blame. Their reinstatement Is requested
and the responsibility for conditions Is vir
tually placed upon tho shoudcra of Police
Superintendent Boblnson. Trial of the. lat
ter by a police board of Inquiry .Is asked.
ASKS ROBINSON'S TRIAL.
How Robinson Is to be tried tho Grand
Jury does not specify. Tho rules of tho
Bureau of Polico provide that an accused
member of tho department be arraigned
beforo a court composed of his superiors.
Robinson has no superior or even equal in
tho grades composing tho bureau.
The Bureau of 'Police generally Is given
a, clean bill of health, the jury declaring
that "the Bureau of Police Is comparatively
free from pernicious evil." Tho Jury advo
cates an Increase of 500 men to tho present
force, with a general Increase of pay
throughout the department.
Segregation of disorderly houses Is re
garded by the Jurors as affording no satis
factory solution to the question under con
sideration. Contrary to the advance rumors
of Its Intention, the report sets forth that
the Jury looks upon tho vice quarantine as
at present maintained the best remedy
thus far offered to check the evil. r

A fight for 10-cent bread will probably
be made ln this city by members of the
National Association of Master Bakers, fol
lowing the convention now In progress at
Salt Lake City, About 12 of the 1000 or
more bakers In Philadelphia tare members
of that body. The local members are large
producers, however? and It was estimated
that they, supply about 40 per cent of the
bread dally consumed In the' city.
It was explained by a baker this morning
that the cost of flour and other ingre
dients used In making bread have increased
to such an extent that the movement Is
really necessity. A 10-cent loaf can be
Just twice the weight of the present 6-cent
loaf. The cost of labor, such as mixing,
baking and delivery, are the same as on a
smaller loaf and as on a 10-cent loaf.
One baker said that it did not require
any more labor, such as mixing, baking and
delivery, to supply the consumer with a
larger loaf than with the five-cent bread.
He contended that a 10-cent loaf would con
tain more bread than two small loavea by
reason of the great reduction of crust.
Colonel Louis J- Koib, a member of the
National Association of Master Bakers, and
head of the Kolb Baking Company, said this
morning: "Tha prlco of flour has been
doubled during tbe last year and that of
shortenings was increased' about 60 per
cent The 5-cent loaf is an economic loss.
I have not planned any increase in the
price of bread at tbe present time. If bread
is raised to 10 cents it tnlght prove to be
only a temporary condition,"
WOULD ABOLISH VICE SQUAD.
The Grand Jury recommended that the
Vice squad be abolished and that its mem
bers be amalagamated with the Detective
Bureau. The Grand Jury said that either
Captain Kenny or Superintendent Robinson
Is responsible for tho abominable conditions
In the Sixth and Eighth Districts. It sug
gests that a Trial Board determine Robin
Bon's responsibility because the Jury men
think they have not learned the whole
truth.
Among the reasons for disorderly houses
the Jury named the profitable rentals. They
also-blamed derelictions of the Individual
policemen and followod these reasons with
political Interference and lelnency of the
courts.
AS TO BRIBERY CHARGES.
The jury recommends that Director WI1
son Investigate thoroughly the cases of
Policemen William Tyson, John E. Bar
rett, Jacob Marbet and Michael Kearse,
charged with accepting protection money
from women; also, that he review care-
fully the cases of Policeman Charles
O'Draln and Thomas NIlBon for their con
nection with tho Haverford Club, 612 Arch
street.
The jury also recommended that Inves
tlgatlon be made Into the discharge with
out hearing of former State Representa
tive William need and four other men who
were taken In one of the raided houses.
Conditions In the Sixth and Eighth dis
tricts were described as intolerable.
The Grand Jury In Its finding that quar
antine was the most effective remedy for
dealing with vice complained that inefficient
policemen often rendered such quarantine
Ineffective.
The Jurymen denounced the system of
fining Inmat'es of disorderly houses. They
said that these women simply looked on the
fine as license money, and they suggested
that the whole fine system be done away
with, because fines were so much "blood
money" for the State or the politicians and
the lawyers who prey on these women. They
recommended a prison term Instead of the
fining system.'
They also urget that men who prey upon
such womerrbe excluded from all hearings.
They said that the testimony did little
to prove that the police' were linked with
politics, but added that, nevertheless, they
believed them to be so interlinked, and sug
gested that the Mayor take steps to divorce
the police from politics.
The report was presented to Judge Rogers
In Quarter Sessions Court today by Henry
3. Barnard, foreman of the jury. The
voluminous presentment; was completed
only a short time prior to its submission
to tho court It was signed by all of the
jurors who had sat throughout the three
weeks' proceedings.
Judge Rogers made no comment upon tbe
report itself, hut thanked the jurors for
their services and the extensive investiga
tion they had given to Uw vice situation
and then dismissed them. He said the sug
gestions contained In the presentment would
be turned oyer to the proper authorities for
their action. Judge Rogers subsequently

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. Charges that Great Britain hns been

Cautlaatil ea rare Two, Csliuua Tva
Six deaths and 13 new cases In Phila
delphia, while Camden reports two new
Instances of Infantile paralysis, are causing
health authorities of both cities considerable
anxiety, particularly in Philadelphia, as the
number of deaths Is greater for any single
day than at any time since the outbreak of
the epidemic.
In Camden, as tho result of the new
cases, six entire blocks have been placed
under rigid quarantine. From that area
no "one may Jeave even with a health cer
tificate. Tha quarantine extends from
Kalghn avenue to Lino street In Locust
street. The new cases are: Angelo Dlmerco,
20 months old, of 927 Locust street, and
Anthony Senedonegto, 16 months old, of
916 Locust street.
Health officers and Inspectors all over
the State are seeking Michael Malagleri, who
early this morning broke through the quar
antine established at 68 Church street, where
there Is a case of paralysis. Malagleri was
employed as a cement worker on a school-
house in ulbbstown, N. J. When found he
will be prosecuted for violating the quar
antine, according to Dr. A. A. Cairns, chief
medical Inspector.
TO PUNISH EVADERS.
Deputy Attorney General Kun, In an
oplnon to the State Health Department, has
ruled that "any attempt to evade the quar
antine against infantile paralysis is an act
against the safety and well-being of the
public, and offenders will be summarily
dealt with.
Camden at noon today placed in effect
its quarantine against Pennsylvania chil
dren. The ferries will be guarded by Cam
den physicians, who have volunteered. At
Pitman, N. J-, motion pictures are to be
used in the fight against paralysis.

FLANKING FACES FOES
Austrians Preparing to Make
Stand Against Italians on
New Lino
Tho groat battlo for tho possession
of Lomborg is rapidly approaching its
decisivo stago. Today's reports from
Petrograd indicato thnt, contrary to ex
pectations during the early days of tho
great Slav offensive, tho main Russian
blow against tho Galicinn capital is to
bo struck from tho southwest. Tho
final engagement will probably bo
fought nt IJaliczt toward which point
part of tho forces of General Lctchit
sky nro marching. By a sudden nd
vanco westward from tho Zlota Llpa
Rivor, which they, crossed in a dash
that took tho Austrians entirely by
surprise, part of Lctchitsky's forces
havo advanced to within 10 miles from
Halicz, which is north of Stanislau and
58 mile3 southeast of Lemberg. Tho
unexpected drive on Halicz aiong tho
north bank of the Dniester, .therefore,
not only seals tho fate of Stanislau,
but puts tho Austrian army defending
both Stanislau and Halicz in a pro
carious position, from which it can ox
tricato itself only by defeating tho
Russians or retreating quickly boyond
Lemberg, thus abandoning the city to
the forces of the Czar. The official re
port from Petrograd states that tho
Russians ore only two miles irom
Stanislau. Bridges have already been
thrown across the Bistritza River, pre
paratory to entrance into the city.
On' the Sereth front, which is in
North Galicia, the army of General
Sakharoff is pushing its advance on
Lemberg westward. The Russians havo
captured several villages and occupied
a commanding ridge on tho right bank
of tho river.
Thus are the two arms of tho Rus
sian "nut-drackor" in Galicia, both of
which are about the same distance from
Lemberg, closing in upon the army of
General Count von Bothmer.
With Gorizia firmly jn their hands,
the Italian armies of the Duke of Aosta
nre attacking the Austrian lines on a
front of 30 miles in their drive on
Trieste.
Terrific fighting is being waged on
the Alpine summits, which rise out
of the Isonzo Valley. The Italians aro
now in complete control of the four
crests of Monto San Michele, and aro
fighting to gain a foothold in the Do
berdo basin, a part 'of the vast Carso
Plateau, across which their advance to
Trieste must be mnde.
French attacks on the Sommo and
Verdun fronts have won more ground,
according to the Paris War Ofllce.
North of Bazentin-le-Petit and in tho
district of Pozieres the British havo
pressed the Germans back. A deter
mined Teuton counter-attack was re
pulsed with bloody losses.
RUSSIANS CROSS DNIESTER
IN 3IARCII ON HALICZ; READY
TO ENTER STANISLAU CITY
PETROGRAD, Aug. 1J.
Striking westward with amazing rapidity
the right wing of General Lctchitsky's army
has reached the Dniester River south of
Marlampol, which is only 10 miles from the
Important fortified town of Halicz, It was"
officially announced today.
News of this Important success tempo
rarily overshadowed the advance against
the city of Stanislau, south of Halicz, the
fall of which is now regarded as a matter
of but a few hours. The War Office an
nounced that bridges are being thrown
across the Bistritza River three miles east
of Stanislau preparatory to an advance on
the city, and also reported fresh victories
on the South River, 00 miles east of Lem
berg, where several villages and woods
were, captured.
The town of Halicz, lying" at the railway
crossing of the Dniester, and but 68 miles
southeast of' Lemberg, has been described
as the key to any operation against the
Galiclan capital from the southwest It
was eipected that Gneral Letchltzky would
first take Stanislau and then move north
ward against Halicz. Austrians were pre
pared for a moat stubborn resistance at the
Haltcs bridgehead, where they expected to
block the crossing of the Dniester and a
further advance by the Czar's troopa
against Lemberg.
Letchltsky evidently took the enemy by
complete surprise. Throwing a force across,
