GERMANS BRING BIG CONS
INTO PLAY IN EFFORTSTO
PENETRATE RUSSIAN LINES
Petrograd. March 4, 11 A. M., via
Ijondon, March 4. 2 P. M.—The Her
man forces in Northern Poland arc con- •
cent rating their efforts in the endeavor \
to break through the Russian fortified ;
lines near the Prussian frontier by cap- '
turing the fortress of Ossowets. This
battle, the outcome of which is regarded
:is of high importance, is proceeding
with increased violence. The Germans
on this occasion have succeeded iu
bringing up some of their heaviest and j
most effective guns, including the great
lU-inch Seld pieces.
The opinion of Russian military of
ficers is that, the' Germans have been ex
pellet! from Prt.asnysi, their only hope
of successful execution of their plans
which include securing the |iosition of
their left Hank by breaking through
the Russian line of fortresses, lies in
taking Ossowets. From the character
of the lighting it is evident that the
tiernmns have determined to exhaust
every effort to win this point.
The Russian occupation of Ker.jen
announced officially here, shows a slight
advance on the northern front. Kerjcn
lies on the left bank of thl l Aniouleff
river, twenty miles northeast ot
Przasnysx. The capture of this town is
of more than local importance, since it
signifies failure of the Herman attempt
to cut off the communications of the
Russian forces operating in the
Przasnysz district from those proceed
ing from Mvszyniee toward Koino,
along a line parallel with the Prussian
border. This the Germans strove to ac
coinplish by occupying positions along
the Aniouleff.
Although there is a close corelation
between the German advance from Rast
I'russia and their operations in con
junction with the Austrians in the
Stanislnu-fieskid region of Oalicia, at
the other end of th t > front, Russian
| critiris regard the activity of the Ger
mans in the north as relatively of the
less importance. It is regarded more
as a diversion for the purpose of en
gaging the attention of the Russians
while the Außtro-German army is pre
j paring for an important campaign in
Galicia. In this region, it is said, the
bulk of the Austro-tierinan forces is
concentrated.
NO HOPE FOR HBED MEN
State Engineers Find Evidences That
Explosion iu West Virginia
Mine Was Very Violent
By Associated Press.
Hinton W. Va.,-March 4.—High up
on Quinnimont mountain scores of anx
ious persons, the families and friends
of the miners entombed by the explo
i sion iu Lay land mine last Tuesday, still
| waited anxiously to-dav for news from
the rescue crews. They knew in a gen
eral way that the main entry ot' mine
I No 3 had been cleared of after-damp
j and the rescuers were gradually work
' ing their way through cross entries
; and rooms in search of bodies, but
i with what success hey were kept in
■ ignorance.
' There was a rush toward the shut
tered opening "pf the initio when #t>rd.
, came that five more bodies had been
found, and a minor spread that other
bodies had been located and likely
'■ would be brought out before evening.
Eight bodies will be brought here for
; burial to-night.
There was still much confusion as
to the number of men who entered
j Tuesday mor'ting. After canvassing
the situation the company made known
the names of 177 who were employed
in the workings affected. Whether :i!l
of them weir at work when the explo
i sion occurred, officers of the company
admitted they were .nable to say, but
the opinion prevailed in the crowd of
spectators thu* perhaps twenty had es
caped the disaster.
Little hope is now entertained Chat
any of the buried men are still alive.
Engineers of the Bureau of Mines and
i State Mining Department have found
j evidences that the explosion was very
| violent and the entries badJy choked
with debris.
The rescue partes made rapid prog
ress during the morning and fresh air
was forced fa* into the workings. At
i noon it was announced that !!."» bodies
• had been recovered, and it was thought
! that rapid progress in exploring the
mine would be made during the after
! 110011. A strong force of deputy sher
iffs kept back the crowds.
MANY ANARCHISTIC PLOTS
Their Existence Made Known To-day In
Statement by New York Po
lice Commissioner
Hi) Associated Prc.ll.
[ New York, March 4.—The existence
j of many plots on which the police have
1 been working was made known to-dUT
1 in a statement by Arthur Wood, Police
Commissioner, iu commenting 011 the in
dictment by the Grand .lurv of Frank
Abarno and Charles Carbone, charge I
with attempting to explode a bomb in
St. Patrick's Cathedral on Tuesday,
j Commissioner Wood said that so far as
, this case is concerned it does not go be
, yond Abarno and Carbone but that
I there were other plots and other men
; which the police were watching. The
| Commissioner indicated tiiat Aniedeo
Polignani. the young patrolman respon
sible for the arrest of Abarno an J Car
! bone, would have a part iu exposiug
' other bomb plots.
Justification for placing the bomb in
I St. Fatrick's was summed up by Abar
: no when arraigned yesterday with thu
| brief statement that "we wanted to
i put a bomb in some rich neighborhood
! so that the rich would understand tlm
'sorrows of the poor."
"I plead guilty to the act," Abarno
I said when asked to plead, "but I di l
not mean to do any harm. I was there,
; but it was all the idea of this other
jman," referring to Aniedeo Polignani,
the patrolman. Cai-bone entered a plea
of not guilty.
District Attorney Perkins stated to
day that he would move to have Abar
no and Carbone tried as soon as pos
sible. The men will be brought into
court again to-morrow, when their plea-s
will be formally entered and counsel
assigned to them if they have not made
other ari«ngements for their defense bs
fore thai time.
