The Verdun region and Southern Ty rol continue the theatres where the most sanguinary battles are taking place. While the Italians are holding back the Austrians from further ad vances and inflicting heavy losses on them in counter attacks in Tyrol, their German allies have been able to make another gain in the capture of about three hundred metres of French trench es northwest of the village of Cumieres on the left bank of the Meuse, near Ver dun. Fighting of great intensity has been in progress around Hill 304, and be tween Le Mort Homme and Cumieres, but except near Cumieres all theGer inans' vicious onslaughts were set at naugnt Dy tne vigorous counter onens ives of the French. The sectors east and west of Fort Douaumont, northeast of Verdun, have witnessed still another violent artillery duel, but no infantry attacks were launched. The artillery of both sides has been busy along the remainder of the front in France and Belgium. In Tyrol the Austrians in the La-Ga-rina valley and south of the Posina Torrent threw heavy assaults against the Italian positions, but the Italians repulsed the attackers with consider- ahlp Inssp.s.

SOUTHERN WOMEN SHIFT Only Two Candidates Officially Report ed for President of General Fed eration Mrs. Reilley Has No Opposition. New York, May 29. The election of officers, although two days off. and the report tomorrow of the. nominating committee, absorbed the attention to night of the 10,000 delegates, alternates and visitors attending the 13th biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs in session here. Although it is unofficially, reported that Mrs. Josiah Cowles, of California, and Mrs. Samuel B. Sneath, of Ohio., will be reported as the only candidates for the presidency, it is expected that a large number of the Illinois delega tion, said td be pledged to Mrs, Cowles, will bolt, and propose as the State's candidate Mrs. George Bass, of Chi cago. Mrs. Bass has announced that she will permit her name to come before the convention. Delegates from most of the Southern states, heretofore claimed ' by Mrs. Sneath's supporters, insisted tonight that there had been a sudden shift to Mrs. Cowles because of rumors circulat ed regarding Mrs. Sneath's alleged in tention of permitting the Federated Ne gro Women's Clubs of the South to join the federation. Both Mrs. Sneath and Mrs. Cowles issued statements that the negro question plays no part in the campaign. There will be no contests for the oth er offices, a, member of the board of di rectors said tonight, except for that of auditor, to which Mrs. William P. Har per, of Seattle, and Mrs. Sarah Evans, of Portland. Ore., aspire. 3Vo Opposition to Mrs. Reilley. Miss GeorgieA. Bacon, of Worcester, is as yet unopposed for first vice-president, and will be succeeded as second vice-president by Mrs. Eugene J. Reil ly, of Charlotte, N. G, without opposi tion. Mrs. Reilly is the present record ing secretary, and it is expected she will be succeeded by Mrs. John D. Sher man, of Chicago. Mrs. William B.

At the business session today a mo tion was defeated to eliminate the word "woman's" from the corporate name of the Federation, in order to fa cilitate the entrance of men's clubs into the Federation. Resolutions calling for the discontinuance of the offices of sec retary, Federation secretary and for eign correspondent, were lost. ! Mrs. Emma Kipp Edwards, chairman of the supply committee, announced to night that to date the deleeates reani- sitioned 100,000 hairpins, 1,000 drinking cups, 600 hat pins, and 300 packages of face powder, all of which were especi ally provided for the use of the dele gates. 1. KITGHIII III SPEECH AnACKS '8iG NAVY' MEN Majoriy Leader Speaks for Naval Appropriation Bill. Says He Is Supporting' Present Meas ure Because it Eliminates the Five-Year Programme Gen-3 eral Debate Closed. Washington, May 29. Majority Lead er Kitchin made his promised speech in behalf of the Naval Appropriation bill in the House today, explaining tnat while he believed the measure provided for greater preparedness on sea than the country really needed he was sup porting it because it eliminated the Navy . Department's five-year building programme. He devoted himself most vigorously to attacking the so-called big navy men, asserting that the pres ent clamor for preparedness was due in the main to hysteria and jingoism. In opposing the five -year programme Mr. Kitchin said it would be foolish to contract for ships at present high prices when it was probable that the cost of materials would be much lower after the war. General debate closed with Mr. Kit chin's . speech and the House then be gan consideration of the bill under the rule permitting five-minute speeches on amendments. This probably will be continued until 4 o'clock Friday after noon, the hour set for the final vote. The House remained in session until late this evening and the leaders agreed to meet tomorrow at the usual hour instead of recessing over Memorial Day. Representatives Farr, of Pennsyl vania; Britten, of Illinois, and - Rob erts, of Massachusetts, spoke during the day for the minority report with its larger building programme. Mr. Farr drew applause from the galleries by declaring m favor of building 25 cap ital fighting ships, 250 submarines and craft. r A score of amendments offered at the close, of general aeoaie were vfomjiyy yotedvdowu. , .

KENYON FIGHT DIES HARD Republican Senator Predicts it Will Be Last Bill of Kind to' Pass a Con gress $30,000,000 Substi tute Voted Down. Washington, May 29. The Senate to day passed the Rivers arid Harbors Ap propriation bill, carrying approximate ly $43,000,000, by a vote of 35 to 32 after adding many amendments. The bii. will now go to a conference of the two houses. The fight against it, - begun by Sen ator Kenyon, of Iowa, and Senator Sherman, of Illinois, gained strength until a final effort to displace it with a substitute appropriating a lump sum of $30,000,000 was defeated by only one vote. Senators Ashurst, Gore, Hol lis. Husting. Lane, Newlands, Pittman, Pomerene, Taggart, Thomas and Thompson, all Democrats, voted with the Republicans to send the bill back to the committee. Just before the final vote was taken Senator Kenyon predicted it would be the last of its kind to pass an Ameri can Congress. "You are voting at least $20,000,000 into, this biU that is absolutely un justifiable," said Senator Kenyon. "T6"U are dumping thousands of dollars in streams where commerce is rapidly dis appearing and into streams with less than a foot of water in them and into streams that you could not recognize as such when you crossed them. "You have had an opportunity to correct some of these abuses but ydu would not. Your motto is let the people squeal.' I have done my best and I want to say that if the price of holding my seat in the Senate is to vote for bills of this kind, the seat may go, for my usefulness to my consti tuents in that event is ended. Some day a Congress will be here which will not consider that the greatest statesman is the man who can get the greatest amount of money out of the Federal Treasury. "It is a pity that the whole blame for this extra vagance must .not" rest upon the Democratic party because the bfll never could be passed without Republi can votes. There are patriotic states men on the Democratic side of. the chamber, too, who fought hard for econ omy in this legislation. The Uneop Against. Nine Democratic and twenty-three Republican Senators voted against the bill. They were: Democrats: Ashurst. Gore, Hollts, Husting, Newlands, Pomerene, Shaf roth, Taggart and Thompson. Republicans: Borah, Brady, Clark, Wyoming, Cummins, Curtis, Dilling ham, Fall, Gallinger, Harding, Jones, Kenyon, LaFollette, Lippitt, Lodge, Norris, Page, Smoot, Sutherland, Town send, Wadsworth, Warren, Weeks and Works. ' Senators Tillman and Thomas, Dem ocrats, sought to cast negative votes but could not transfer their pairs.

AIMS 10 PROVE EMUS IS GUILTY OF MURDER State's Attorney Says Women's Bodies Were Ground Up. Presents SarBsage Mill 1b Court, When Trial of Ennis and Wife For Lar ceny Begins in Atlanta. Mother on Stand. Atlanta, Ga., May 29- The state will attempt to prove that Victor E. Innes of Eugene, Ore., not only took $3,745.20 from Mrs. Eloise Nelms Dennis but he murdered Mrs. Dennis and her sister, Beatrice Nelms, Solicitor General Dor sey announced here today at the open ing of Tnnes' trial for larceny after trust. The Nelms sisters disappeared in San Antonio, Texas, in June, 1914, and Innes and yhis wife later were ac quitted there of charges of murdering the two Atlanta women.! Both husband and wife later were indicted here on larceny charges. The state today elected to try Innes first after the defense had won its point that the two should go on separate trials. First witnesses called were in tended to show Innes alleged connec tion with the murders and Solicitor Darsey produced a sausage mill in which he -asserted he would prove the women's bodies were ground up at San Antonio. Onobjection of the defense. Superior " court Judge Hill, presiding, ruled that the state first must show that the $3,740.20 mentioned in the lar ceny indictment was entrusted to Innes before taking up any other part of the case. It was intimated the state would later bring evidence regarding the murder. Mrs. John W. Nelms, mother of the missing women, then took the stand and be fore adjournment testified re garding leters she "said her married daughter received from Innes, who it Is said acted as attorney for Mrs. Den nis prior to her disappearance. Mrs. Nelms referred to Innes as that "demon". and was - told by the court that such' language V would ! not be alT lowed. ' ' T N".

OFFICIALS ARE MYSTIFIED till Note Was Confidently 'pRbEgMscted Yes terday, in View of Repeated Re ports V arion Rnmpt from Mexico Are Can-eat. Washington, May 29. State Depart ment officials were somewhat mystified today over the failure of the new note from General Carranza to reach "the de partment or the Mexican embassy. The department's advices indicated that it was to be expected yesterday. Manuel Mendez, who is supposed to be acting as special messenger, arrived here today, but declared he had no knowledge of the note whatever, and merely had come to Washington on a vacation. Eliseo Arredondo, the Mex ican ambassador designate, with whom Manuel Mendez, the visitor, conferred, said that none of his messages from the foreign office contained any men tion of aa new note. Word that the note was coming and that it probably would renew the sug gestion that American troops be with drawn from Mexico reached the depart ment last week. Later dispatches from Mexico City said the Carranza govern ment was taking precautions to gnard against premature publication of the note and that nothing concerning its contents would be revealed until it had been presented - in Washington. De facto officials were quoted as saying they expected.it to be handed to Sec retary Lansing today. Mr. Arredondo made no appointment at the State Department today, and as tomorrow is a holiday it is certain the note will not be presented until Wed nesday, should it arrive tonight or to morrow. Oil Operators Protest. The protest of 84 American oil opera tors in the Tampico region against de crees of the de facto government af fecting their work is still awaiting consideration at the State Department. Rumors transmitted by the border mil itary commanders as matters of infor mtaion for the War Department said 22,000 Carranza troops were mobilized near Chihuahua City. Officers here showed little interest in this report. General Scott's comment being that General Trevino appeared to be acting in accordance with the Scott-Obregon understanding. Another rumor transmitted said Mexico City papers quoted General Luis Herrera as saying he was ready to at tack the Americans' if they did not withdraw from Mexico before June 1. FEEDING MASSES IN LARGE CITIES FROM CENTRAL KITCHEN Solution of Problem Reached by Ger man Government. Berlin, via London, May 29. Feeding the masses of the population in the larger cities byy means of central kitch ens under municipal auspices is the solution selected by the government to meet the problem of the food supply and distribution during the period of 1 the war. The president of the : food regulation board, Adolph von Batocki, announced to the ways and means com mittee, of the Reichstag today t that an appropriation bill for funds io assist the municipalities to organize and op erate, the kitchens would be immediate ly submitted to the Reichstag. The municipality of Schoeneberg, the second largest Berlin suburb, has - al ready arranged to feed 3t,000- persons in such institutions. A similar organi zation. for Berlin was called :into life at a conference today, which "was, not able for the presence of two women, Frau Hedwig Heyle- and- Fraujein Landsborg, : among the members of : tlie- co inference - "Ecce FIRST TO PITCH A TENT Headquarters Opened in Chicago, VonL. Meyer is Expected to Take Charge Today. HITCHCOCK HAS A PLAN To Have Alabama Give Way to New York, So Hughe' Name May 'be Presented First That's Where Fignt Starts. Chicago, May 29. Republican Roose velt headquarters were opened today in Chicago by Herbert Satterlee and Lawrence Graham, of New York, and active work getting delegate votes for the candidate begun. The headQuax ters were opened several hours before Colonel Roosevelt arrived here en route to Kansas City, where- he is to deliver an address tomorrow. George Von L. Meyer, former ' Secretary of the Navy, is expected in Chicago tomorrow to as sume charge of the pre-convention campaign for Roosevelt. Indications are that the plan of Frank H. Hitchcock to have the name of Charles E. Hughes presented to the Republican National convention as the first candidate may result in an inter esting fight between the Root, Roose velt and Hughes friends. Hitchcock's arrangement is that when the roll of states is called in alphabetical order to make nominations for presiden, to have Alabama, the. first "on the list, yield in favor of New York so that Hughes may have the advantage of having his name presented first. . When friends of former Senator Eli hu Root and Mr. Roosevelt learned of this plan, they declared they would at tempt to get recognition from the chairman to present the name of their candidate before that of Justice Hughes. They said that the chairman of the convention would be obliged to settle the dispute at the time it arises. ' A Woman to Appear. Alice Hill Chittenden, of the New York State Anti-National Woman Suf frage Association, has notified Chair man Hilles, of the Republican National Committee, that she will appear before the convention committee on resolu tions to oppose insertion in the Repub lican platform of a National woman suffrage plank. A stir has been caused in local fe male circles by the fact that two sep arate meetings, one by the National Woman Suffrage Association and the other by the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, will be held during the Republican convention. Members of the latter organization fear confu sion will result and some expressed to day the opinion that the calling of the meeting of the National association win result in adoption of resolutions expressing disapproval of the policies of the union. Chairman Hilles has been advised that the six delegates representing Ha waii, Porto Rico and the Philippines, who, under the reapportionment of del egates adopted by the Republican Na tional committee in 1913, are given seats in the convention without votes, will make a determined fight before the credentials committee for the right to vote.

Homo" PRAISES WORK OF FRENCH AT VERDUN General Haig Reviews in Detail Actions in Which English Have Taken Part in West. SINCE LAST DECEMBER Commander of British Forces in France and - Belgium Gives Account of Their Service Under His Command. London, May 29. General Sir Doug las Haig, commander of the British forces in France and Belgium, in a dis patch covering the operations of the British army in that territory from De cember 19, last, when he took over the command, until May 19, pays high praise to the French defense of Ver dun and reviews in detail the actions in which the British have taken part. "During this period," he says, "the only offensive effort maoe oy the ene my on a great scale was directed against our French allies near Verdun. The fighting in that area has been pro longed and severe. The results have been worthy of the traditions of the French army and of great service to the cause of the Allies. The efforts made by the enemy have caused him severe losses both in men and in pres tige and he has made these sacrifices without gaining any advantage to counterbalance, them. "During this struggle my troops have been in readiness to co-operate as they might be needed, but the oonly assistance asked for by our allies was of , an indirect nature, namely, the re lief of the French troops on a portion of their' defensive front. This relief I was glad to be able to afford." Straggle Continuous. While nonaction comparable with that at Verdun has been fought on the British front. General Haig says the struggle 'has been continuous and that there have been many sharp local ac tions. The maintenance and repair of the trenches alone entailed constant and heavy work. He speaks of the continual activity of the artillery, in fantry, airmen and sappers and miners and adds: "Ever present threats cause a more constant strain than any other form of warfare." There were 60 local actions during the period under review, some of which, says General Haig, "although individ ually insignificant in a war on such an immense scale, would have been con sidered worthy of a separate dispatch under dicerent conditions." The British commander makes spe cial mention of raids, or "cutting out parties" which have been made at least two or three times a week against the enemy lines. Praises His Troops. "They consist," he says, "of a brief attack with some special object on a section of the opposing trenches and are usually carried out at night by a small body of men. The character of these operations, the preparation of the road through our own and the enemy's wire, the crossing of open ground, the unseen penetration of the enemy's trenches, hand-to-hand fighting in the darkness, and the "uncertainty as to the strength of the opposing force give pe culiar scope to gallantry, dash and quickness of decision of the troops en gaged and much skill and daring are. frequently displayed in these opera tions. "The initiative in these minor, opera tions has been taken and on the whole has been held by us, but the Germans recently have attempted some bold and well conceived raids against our lines, many of which have been driven back, although some succeeded in penetrat ing." General Haig mentidns the arrival of the Anzacs and South Africans and additional Canadian forces in France and says that this made possible the taking over of a greater extent of front. He then tells of the improve ment in. the different branches of the army and in the health of the armies. He says: The sick rate has been, consistently ' Continued- oo-PasjB TwoJ , 'I1 " f'f' F - 1 ' - v r ; - WHOLE DUMBER 39,597 HILL'S FUNERAL TO Pioneer Railroad Builder and Fhv ancier Died at Minnesota Home Yesterday Morning.
