guns. , Violent combats occurred In the
streets of the ruined village beforo the
Germans withdrew.

being held back on the lower Isonzo until
the line on the upper Isonzo can be straight
ened by the capture of the mountains of
Ban Gabrlele, San Marco and other posi

While' the capture of these mountains is

The Austrlans are being forced off the
Carso plateau before spirited attacks of the
Italian troops. Fierce lighting for the
heavy guns which have been barring the
Way to Trieste Is In progress. These guns
frequently are emplaced in caverns on, the
mountainside.
In taking Salnte Grado on Monday the
Italians onTered to let one of the gun crews
surrender, but its members flourished a
mandolin In derision, the Austrlans often
calling the Italians merely mandolin play
ers. The Italian Infantry bayonetted the
trhole gun crew.
Today's War Oflce statement says:
On the lower Isonzo our artillery
and trench mortars were active.
We repulsed an attack on the Carso,
taking 100 prisoners. In the Tolmlno
area our batteries shelled the Santa
Lucia station, where train movements
were reported.

would cost her some money $160. He
got ft bondsman by the name of Bradley
who put up $100 ball. Then I was retained
as her attorney nnd I charged $25 for my
services. Beaumont received none of the
money. It was a perfectly legitimate trans
action. "When Mrs. Zoldl was arraigned fpr her
further hearing she was discharged be
cause thero wai no evidence against her.
After her discharge she pretended that she
had been swindled, hired a lawyer nnd.
started nil this trouble."
At the office of Mnglstrato Call, 1128
Glrard avenue, the Information was given
out today that Call was In Atlantic City
and would not bo back, until tomorrow
morning nt 1 o'clock, A man who said he
was C. O. Robinson, a nonstable attached

never been connected with that office In

He has nothing1 to do with this office."

tho August Grand Jury now has a record

today wero of persons accused of con
ducting speakeasies and eleven were of
persons accused of having conducted dis
orderly houses. These persons were ar
rested In the July 1 rnld, nnd tho Indict
ments wero drawn on testimony offered
beforo the July Grnnd Jury.
It Is not considered likely that Judge
McMlchael will tako action on the open
letter of D. Clarence Glbboncy, head of the
Law and Order Society, advocating contin
uation of Grand Jury Investigation of vice
In this city
When nBkcd what ho was going to do
about the tatter, he replied:
"I have nothing to say."
"Are you going to tako this matter up?"
ho was asked.
The Judge shook his head nnd turned
away, ending the Interview.
SILENT AS TO GIBBONET.
Glbboney left this morning for New York.
It was rumored In police circle thnt hla
visit to New York Is to Interview William
J. Burns, a detective, as to methods to be
employed for the gathering of evidence
against "exclusive" gambling Joints nnd dis
orderly houses In Philadelphia which nro
alleged to havo "Ironclad" political pro
tection. Glbboney, It Is said, Is dotcrmlned
to get the higher-ups In Philadelphia's vice
world.
Investigators employed by the Law nnd
Order Society Bald to day that complaints
as to renewed nctlvlty In vice conditions
are pouring into the headquarters of tho
society by letter and by telephone. Many
of these complaints deal with places which
were raided on July 15. The complalnnnts
havo stated that the resorts have reopened
nnd arc doing moro business than prior to
the raid.
Disorderly house proprietors, It Is said,
aro confident that all trouble 1ms "blown
over," nnd ire moving In expensive! furni
ture and other fixtures. The word has been
passed around the underworld that Mnyor
Smith's "clean-up" Is fast evaporating In
the mists which hover near tho Mayor's
hotel In Atlantic City In the enrly morning
nnd that they need havo no feacr. Cadets,
scouts, pickpockets nnd sneak thieves who
hang about certain parts of llace.Vlne, Win
ter and Noble streets In the Tenderlln nre
making facetious remarkH about Director
Wilson's motor trip to Niagara FnllH, and
they speak with feeling of Superintendent
Robinson's convalescence "somewhure In tho
country." They have dubbed Acting Direc
tor Davis and Captain McCoach "right nice
fellows who bcllevo In personal liberty and
mind their own business."
TENDERLOIN CROWDED.
The apparent abandonment of the vice
problem by all tho officials who have the
power to "clean up" has had a magical
effect on the entire Tenderloin. Last night
tho district wns crowded 'with disorderly
women, who conversed freely on street
corners with sailors and other visitors to
tho section. Business has become: brisk
In restaurants and other "hang-outs" for
habitues of the Tenderloin.
Policemen aro In a quandary. They arc
afraid to be too active In the gathering
of evidence for fear that they will be
transferred to other sections or otherwise
"disciplined." and they nre also afraid that
Inactivity may mean punishment. Many
of them havo decided to remain strictly
"neutral" nnd let things tnke their course.
Tho coppers say they were never before
In such a fix. It li the first time, they say,
that n city administration had no definite
policy In regard to the vice question. One
of them referred to the administration as n
"ship without n rudder."
Mose Welnheck. alleged gambling boss of
the Twentieth Ward returned to the city
early today from Atlantic City, It Is said
he is going the rounds assuring his friends
that everything Is as "fit as a fiddle."
It became known today that Dave Lane,
sage of the Republican Organization nnd
leader of the Twentieth Ward, made every
effort to testify before the July Grand Jury
He was much wrought up, It Is said, over
the frequent mention of the Twentieth Ward
In the Investigation, and told his friends
that he wanted to como up from Atlantic
City and air his views. He was persuaded,
however. It Is said, that It would be good
policy for him to remain In Atlantic City.
