Thurston, the Magician
Thurston, who is the attraetion at
the Majestic to-day ai>i to-morrow with
daily matinee, has" an entertainment
rare and thrilling. The day of harum
scarum magiciaus is past. The public i
taste has dried against the iucompe-1
tent alight of hand shufflers and the
snffibling apparatus manipulators who
flooded the stage a deva le ago. It has
now resolved itself to where a worker
in magic must be marvelous or absent.
Thurston is marvelous. His finesse, his
personality and his flawless perform
ance of the visually impossible make
him highlv impressive and turn his show
into broa 1 ohanueU of divertissement.
He is witty, tasteful and unbelieve
ablv -left. He is the logical and entire-j
ly competent successor of Herrmann
and the great Kellar. who in their turns
respectfully, held the center of the
world's stage in performing mvsteries.

"Damaged Goods''
That the lessons taught in " Damaged '

last spring. The play, which is a vivid
lesson in behalf of a clearer under
standing of the fundamental facts <rf
life, and of the evils which befall tho<se
guilty of excess, also sets forth the ne
cessity for a feeling of personal re
sponsibility for the welfare of mankind.
The lesson was brought so clearly home
to this Congressman that immediately
after the performance he walked to the
telegraph office which is in the same

1 sent a telegram to his managing editor
j of the paper which he owns in a West

CHICAGO MAYO.I INSINCERE
Women Suffrage Leaders Say Harrison
Disregarded "heir Cause
Ail interesting side light on the de
feat of Mayor Harrison by the women
voters at the Chicago primaries was
| furnished here to-day by Miss Harriet
| \ ittum. a prominent suffragist and so
j cial worker of Chicago. Miss Vittum,
: who came east recently for a conference
with the suffrage leaders of New York.
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, said
' that none of the newspaper dispatches
from Chicago had given «nai sue
| sidered to be the real reason for Mayor
; Harrison's defeat.
"In the first .lace," she said, "the
! newspaper reports have all tended to
| create tnc impression that the women
of Chicago voted against a man who
was both a reformer and a good suf
fragist. As a matter of fact, at heart
Carter Harrison is neither. To be sure,
he espoused suffrage as soon as it was
adopted iu Illinois, but the great ma
jority of tin- women of Chicago have
always felt thai he did it as a matter
of political expediency. Moreover, it
was not until after suffrage had been
granted to the women of Chicago that
he made any effort to solve either the
garbage disposal or the red light dis
trict problems, or take any of the other
steps that have won him in certain
quarters the title of reformer. Nor
was he willing to appoint police women
to protect the morals of young girls
in the Chicago dance halls until the suf
fragists oi the city force 1 the issue
upon him. The result is. that the wo
men of Chicago have never considered
him either a sincere reformer or a
sincere suffragist, and the [rimaries
this year gave them their first oppor
tunity to register tiiei.- judgment .upon
him. They seized it by defeating him.'
In conclusion, Miss Vittum said that
some interesting news concerning the
political 'situation in iTlii - ago may be
expected soon. She intimated that the
women voters there are not entirely
satisfied with the regular party candi
dates for the maypralty, and that they
may put up an independent candidate.

Przasnyszare Driven
Back to Frontier
THE RETREAT OF
CZAR'S TENTH
Kaiser'B Forces Set Themselves the
Further Task of Joining Battle
With Russian Troops Operating Suc
cessfully in the Mlawa Region
Petrograd, March 1, 10.24 P. M., Via
London, March 2, 12.32 A. M.—The of
ficial communication issued to-night by
tho war otliee regarding the progress of
the campaign follows:
"We concluded yesterday the opera
tions around Przasnysz where we de
feated, and have thrown back to the!
frontier, not less than two army corps. I
"The Germans, having compelled tho
retreat of our Tenth Army, set them
selves the further task of joining bat
tle with our troops operating success
fully in the Mlawa region. Their plan
was tirst to drive back, by a demonstra
tion in force, our left wing in this re
gion, ami then apparently by a head
long dash against right wing in the
Khorgele (Cliorzellen) district, to over
throw our troops in tine direction of the
Vistula.
Germans Take the Offensive
"On th t > sixteenth the enemy took
the offensive in the Lipno-Sierpec-Bie
zun district, bringing five divisions into
the operations. About the middle of
February the enemy hud reached tho,
Plonsk-Bacionz front, but as a result of ;
desperate battles on the sixteenth and
eighteenth we stopped his further
progress in this section.
"About this date the Germans con
centrated very great forces between
Mlawa gnd Villenborge (Willenberg)
and" took the offensive. On the eight
eenth we discovered great activity on
the part of the German advance guards
in the Khorgele district aud on the
twentieth great enemy forces began an
impetuous advance.
"Passing Przasnysz on the east they
reached the village of Czuka. Przasnysz
formed the extreme point of support of
our right wing in this region. Here
our infantry brigade was operating and,
after meeting the enemy's attack with
a defense characterized by vigor an 1
initiative it threw part of its strength
into Przasnysz.
The Attack on Przasnysz
"Besides this brigade we had only
an unimportant force of cavalry which
served as a reserve and impeded the
German enveloping movement. After
detaching troops for an attack on
Przasnvs/ and on a front comprising
Prztuly, Krasnosielo, Podosie, Mnsti,
Vangherkv and Kraino Kolaknovo, the
enemy made his principal effort against
the right liank of our troops concen
trated in the Mlawa region.
"The sector, eleven versts (about
seven miles) from Lysakowo and Khon
ivoc was simultaneously attacked from
the nortth aud the south. This com
prised a ridge behind which the Ger
man columns had turned Przasnysz and
reached Voliverlovska. half way be
tween Przasnysz and Ciechanow. At.
the same time the Germans delivered
energetic auxiliary attacks against the
whole of our front.
The Germans Enter Przasnysz
"On February 24 the enemy suc
ceeded, after a sanguinary engagement,
in entering Przasnysz, but already at 6
o'clock in the morning of the same
day we had inaugurated a decisive of
| fensive on ;*n extended front, including
Krasuoslielo, Vengozinovo, Kolackovo
and Voliarverlovska. We pressed the
enemy at all points and the 36th Ger
man reserve division, which had main
tained itself tenaciously at a passage
of the river Arjitz, suffered by evening
a serious defeat.
"Nevertheless, on the morning of
the 25th the enemy had not abandoned
his original purpose of delivering a
crushing blow to our army and the bat
tle of Voliaverloska proved a desperate
struggle, with the issue constantly
i fluctuating. It was only on the even
i ing of the 25tli that our troops defi
nitely drove the Germans back from
their positions near Przasnysz.
Violent Battles Fought
"On the 2Gtfti and 27th violent bat
tles were fought for the possession of
the front extending over D/.ielino,
Klonowo, Przasnysz, Bartniki and
Szla.

session of this place was not consoli
dated, however, until the following
evening, when the Germans commenced
a disorderly retreat in the direction of
Mlawa and Khorjele. In spite of tho
fatigue of four <iays of lighting ami
marching, our troops pressed the pur
suit vigorously, inflicting on the 2Sth
heavy losses on the German rear
guards. These operations gave us val
uable booty and at least 10,000 pris

, . Com P' et e Defeat, of Germans
"Thus, thanks to our maneuvers, tlio
German operations against our forces in
the Mlawa district resulted in a com
plete defeat for them. On tilie same
day we came into contact with the Ger
mans in other sections, but no collisions
were reported. We captured 1.300
prisoners, 15 machine guns and many
other guns in the Grodno region.
"In the Carpathians the Austrian*
attacked in close formation on the Lup

counter attacks were enormous.

IMPORTANT RULING MADE
ON SHIPIHENTSJJF LIQUOR
U. S. Supreme Court Holds That Laws
of States Prohibiting Such Con
signments Are in Conflict With the
Federal Constitution
By Associated Press.
Washington, March 2.—The Kir
meyer liquor case, one of first impor
tance to the prohibition laws of Kan
sas, was decided in the United States
Supreme Court yesterdav agaiust the
State.
It was alleged that after receivers
had been appointed to oust various
wholesale liquor dealers from doing
business in Leavenworth, Kan., jf.
Kirmeyer went across the river into
Missouri, established a warehouse there
and continued to deliver beer in Kans
as The Kansas Supreme Court held
that his removal was a mere device to
evade the Kansas liquor law and that
the trade was not interstate commerce
"in good faith." m
The United States Supreme Court yes
terday held that Kirmeyer was entitled,
under a previous deeis'iou of the court,
to protection for his trade as inter
state commerce and d i sin is soil an in
junction issued by the Kausas Supreme
Court.
Justice Me Reynolds stated in the
opinion that the Kirmeyer case arosa
before the passage of the Webb-Kenyon
law, prohibiting shipments from wet to
dry territory and that neither its con
struction nor application was involved
or would be passed upon. Advocates
of the Webb-Kenyon law claim that
measure would apply to such cases now.
Justice Mcßeynolds said decisions
of the Supreme Court precluded further
discussion of the following facts:
"Beer is a recognized article of com- ,
merce. The right to send it from one
State to another, and the act of doing
so, are interstate commerce, tthe regula
tion whereof has been committed to
Congress; and a State law which denies
such right or substantially interferes
with or hampers the same is in con
flict with the Constitution of the Unit
ed States. Transportation is not com
plete until delivery to the consignee or
the expiration of a reasonable time
therefor and prior tlhereto the provi
sions of the Wilson act of 1890 have
no application."
The Justice did not undertake to say
whether the/Webb-Kenyon law was ef
fective to change those propositions .
