The sensa tional suit against James W. Osborne, former assistant district attorney of , New York, and member of one of North Carolina's prominent families, wherein a factory girl, Rae Hanzer, 2 years old, seeks to recover $60,000 for alleged breach of promise and be trayal, has taken a sensational turn with- the. appearance of the real "Oli ver Osborne," of Boston, who says he is the man who trifled with Miss Tan sex's affections, and that he has come forward to save James W. Osborne further anguish and annoyance. It was on the statement of the new Oli ver Osborne, the name which Miss Tanzer gave her alleged betrayer, that the woman was placed in Jail Saturday night on the charge of using the Unit ed States mails to extort money. Oliver Osborne, of Boston, a hugely built person bearing no resemblance to James W. Osborne, left for Boston, after making the statement oh which the former prosecutor based his re quest for a warrant He declared he would return to New York and appear before Commissioner Houghton when Miss Tanzer Is arraigned. He said further he would bring numerous let ters written to him by Miss Tanzer. Not all the mystery surrounding Miss Tanzler's sensational suit against the former district attorney was dis pelled by Oliver Osborne's sudden ap pearance in the case. ONE DEATH IN PARIS . AS RESULT OF RAID JUDGE FRANK GARTER Washington, March 22. A laconic telegram came to the war department yesterday from Brigadier General Hugh I Scott, chief of staff, at Bluff, Utah, announcing that the general was bringing in the four Piute Indians who recently led a band of their tribesmen on the war path when the federal au thorities attemptel to arrest Tse-Ne- Gat for murder. The message ad dressed to Secretary Garrison said "Successful. Have four Piutes de sired by Marshall Nebaker and am, at their desire, personally conducting them to Salt Lake City to turn over to Marshal Nebaker. Am leaving everything peaceful behind us In southern Utah. Should reach Thomp son Tuesday and Salt Lake City Wed nesday." The general went to the scene after the Indians had driven off a posse headed by Marshal Nebeker, which undertook to arrest Tse-Ne-Gat. One member of the posse and two Indians were killed in the battle. Some of the older officers at the war department shook their heads gloomily and re called harrowing experiences of their own in the Indlancountry when the chief of staff undertook this mission. General Scott started out cheerfully, however, confident of success ind scouting the Idea that he was rlsling his life. i Throughout a long and distinguish ed career, the general has been noted for his astounding success as a peace maker both with the Indians of the west and with the fierce tribesmen of the west and with the fierce tribesmen of .The Philippines. This Is only .flno of' many itmes that he has gone un armed to seek Out and bring into camp a fugitive savage, who, though willing to fight to the death for liberty against a troop of cavalry, succumbed to the elequent arguments of the white chief.

Callals, March 22. The third Zep pelin attack on this city was timed at almost the precise hour of the arelal raid on Paris yesterday. It was ren dered Ineffective by the whirring of the machine's. motor which gave ad equate marning. The machines came from the direction of the sea, and they were received with such a vigorous bombardment from the French artil lery that they retreated before reach ing the city. One Death. Paris, March 22. While no one was killed directly by the Zeppelin attack on Paris and Its environs yesterday the raid resulted In one death, that of Madame Charles P'asson, who lives in the Rue Ts Domes.' This aged woman was so frightened by the explosion of a bomb In the street that she died soon afterward. The city analyst's cursory examina tion of bombs which did not explode and fragments of those that did, drop ped by the' raiders, found that most of the bombs dropped by the raiders were Incendiary., Zeppelin airships raided Paris yes terday and dropped a dozen bombs, but the damage done was unimport ant. Seven or -eight person were in- JurecUJjut rfly--'An serlouMstr-vyaur of the aircraft started for the capital following the valley of the Olse, but only two reached their goal. Missiles also were ' dropped at Compiegne Rlbecourt and Dresllncourt, but with out serious result- Paris remained rralm while the aerial invasion was in progress and residents of the city exhibited more curiosity than fear. Trumpets gave the signal that all lights must be ex tinguished as soon as warning was re ceived of the Zeppelin's approach. Searchlights were turned on the clouds, anti-aircraft guns opened fire and aeroplanes rose to attack the Germans, but their operations were hampered by a heavy mist. An official communication regard ing the raid declares It served only to show how well the defensive arrange ments would work out when put to the test. The statement follows: Between 1:15 o'clock and 3 o'clock this morning four Zeppelin's started toward Paris from the direction of Compiegne, following the valley of the pise. Two were compelled to return before reaching Paris, one at Rouen (ten miles north of Paris, thirty-six miles from ' Paris). The . other two were attacked by anti-aircraft guns and only passed over anti-aircraft guns and only passed over outlying districts of the northwestern part of Paris and neighboring suburbs. They withdrew after having dropped a doz en bombs, some of which did not ex plode. The damogfl done was untm portanL Sexen or eight persons were Injured btu only one serlotisly. The different stations for anti-air craft defense opened fire upon the Zeppelins which were constantly kept Illuminated by searchlights: One ap peared- to have been hit The apro plane squadron took part In the action, but mist hampered pursuit. "Humming up, the Zeppelin raid on Paris was a complete failure. It serv ed only to demonstrate how well the defensive arrangements worked. The population was calm. On their way back Incendiary or explosive blimbs on Compiegne, doing only unimport ant damsKe. Three bombs were drop ped on Hibecotirt and Dresllncourt, to the north of Compelgne without re. suit" London, March 22. Two Russian successes at the ex tremities of the 600-mile front, reported from Petrograd, seem to mark the only operations of importance in either arena. Memel, on the Baltic sea, in East Prussia, is definitely in the hands of the Russians but it is of little strategic import ance since it is surrounded by swamps, which in view of .the breaking up ' of the winter, would make it impossible to advance further from that town. The Memel movement, however, takes the Russian inr vasion into a part of East Prussia, hitherto" free from in vasion and may for that reason have some political elf et;t. " At the other end of the line the Russians have advanced in Bukowina in the direction of Czenowitz, and are now due east of that citv on the line of the Pruth river and only need to cross this river again to gain possession of the capital of Bukowina, Storms have again interven ed to give the Dardanelles forts a rest, according to in formation reaching London. A report of the Dardanelles fight ing on March 18 received in London, says that the allied vessels during that one day fired 2000 shells without silenc ing the fort. Picture of Wilson Tied on a Donkey and Flag on Tail for a Street' Parade in Mexico. (By W. T. Boat). Raleigh, March 2 2. Twenty months before the next state and presidential election, friends of State Treasurer Benjamin R. Lacy are happy over what they regard a definite state mentthat Col. Wilson G. Lamb, of Wllliamston has no thought of opposr ing Mr. Lacy for a fifth term and That conditions in Mexico are ser ious beyond conception by the aver age American; that the . half has. never been told of the conditions in that country; that the policies of the present American administration in regard to the Mexicans has brought distrust and suspicion among tha great majority of the Mexicans, are that tha "al ate" has been cracked. Two weeks ago a story came from the opinions held by Major , W.

Hnrtnees and Watts put JredeU'over for Simmons but Bryan Grimes cast his ballot for Kltchin. Major Graham voted for Judge Clark but Hobbs, his opponent is credited with voting for Simmons. Lacy voted for Kltchin but here more trouble for some Simmons man. The two aggressive men of tne state departments who supported Simmons are Insurance Commission-1 er Young and M. L. Shtpman, com-1 missioner of labor and printing. Two members of the corporation commis sion are Kitchen men. Travis, and Pell, according to popular under standing. The fact seems to gall. They say even that the superintend ent of public Instruction was not a Simmons man. As the gubernatorial race now stands the observant politicians know that Bickett has It his own way. They do not object to Bickett Wherever he goes he makes by sheer speech more friends than anybody who runs a talkshop In North Caro lina. He Is the most popular stump artist of the day. Bickett Is called out often and he generally goes If he can. They are talking a business gov ernor but all brag on Aycock, Glenn, Kltchin and Craig, the four talklng est kind of Institutions. Nobody said anything about business governor then. Mistaken Interpretation of the Signals Caused the Inci dentNo Damage. Northern Mexico, which has been fought over time and again by first , one army "and then another, ; with bands of bandits and r tnleves and highwaymen operating all the time, is devastated, says Major Rollins. Wealthy men and women, people who had plenty of this world's goods a few years ago, are now forced to hire out as ordinary house servants in or- .' der to get food and clothing. , ' Jaurez, JuBt acroas the Rio Grande river from El Paso, Major Rollins, says, is a hot-bed for rebel plots and the killing of men in that town is nothing new or novel. The town has been bombarded on several occasions and each time great havoc has been done until now the city presents the appearance of ancient ruins. Throughout Mexico, says Major Rollins, Americans are distrusted, in sulted and mistreated by the Mexl-. cans and the American policy is the subject of much abuse by the Mex- leans. , Americans returning from Mexico City during the past few weeks tell, according t i Major Rollins, an Inter esting stur of a minor incident that occurred in that city several weeks ago.
