Jen- kins, who cut and seriously wounded his brother-in-law, M. M. Mays, with a knife in a fightononth Elm street a few weeks ago, was given a hear- ing in Municipal court Monday. The warrant charged him with an assault with a deadly weapon, and after hearing the evidence, Judge Brown held that he was not guilty. It was in evidence that Mays, who is the larger and stronger man of the two, followed Jenkins out on the street and assaulted him and that Jenkins drew his knife in self defense. The wounds were of such a serious na- ture that Jenkins was committed to jail without bond until the attending physician announced that Mays was out of danger Schedule Changes.

According to reports, from Berlin and Vienna, the German and Aus trian armies have achieved a won derful victory in west Galicia, smash ing the entire Russian center along a front of many miles, or as the Ber lin official statement puts it, across the whole western tip of Galicia, near the Hungarian border, to a point where the river Duniac joins the Vistula, right at the frontier of Poland. Though the prisoners the Teutonic allies say they have taken does not compare with the number which some of Field Marshal Von Hinden burg's rushes netted hjm in the north, the achievement, if subse quent reports bear it out, will mean at least a temporary check to the Russians hammering their way west ward since the fall of Przemysl. Russians Take Revenge. A London report says the Rus sians have had at least a partial re venge for their defeat in western Ga licia by badly beating the Turks who had invaded Persia. The Turkish defeat took place in a three days' battle near the. frontier and Petrograd reports that the Rus sians inflicted heavy losses. If the success has been followed up mili tary observers declare that Persia now should be free of her uninvited guests. This battle, however was a small affair compared with what Germany and Austria claim to have done to the Russians in Galicia. Theirreports state that some 30,000 Russians were captured and that many guns were taken. There was no mention, how ever, of any towns, such as Gorlice and Tarnow, which were close to the front, being captured, which leads British military critics to the conclu sion that, while the Germanic allies tiiiife', won. important local successes. they have" not driven the ' Ruisfans far back. Should they do this, how ever, it is asserted that a general re treat of the Russians would be im perative and that the whole Car pathian offensive, on which the Mus covites have spent so much time and so many lives, would be nullified. The Russian side of the story is anxiously awaited, for a big success in the east, it is believed, would mean an immediate commencement of operations on a large scale in the west, for which the Germans already are preparing. Germans Sink Six Ships. Three Norwegian steamers, a Swed ish timber-carrier and two trawlers are the latest trophies of German submarines in the North sea. All of the vessels were sunk by torpedoes and the crews escaped in open boats with no lives lost. The disasters cover a period of three days, during which other vessels are reported to have narrowly escaped destruction by under-the-sea craft. The Norwegian steamship Ameri ca was torpedoed on Saturday and sank within two hours. The crew, consisting of 39 men, was picked up 13 hours later by the Norwegian mail boat Sterling and landed at New Cas tle Monday. The America left Sun derland Saturday morning for Ber gen. The America was larger than most of the vessels which nave been sunk by German submarines. Her tonnage was 2,305. She was engag ed in the trans-Atlantic trade, and left Philadelphia March 28 on her last trip eastward. High Point's New Government. High Point's commission form of government, which was provided for in a bill passed by the recent session of the legislature, became effective Tuesday. The commissioners, who were named in the bill to serve un til the next general election, are: W. P. Pickett, mayor; S. L. Davis, C. D. Smith, A. E. Alexander and R. B. Terry. The commissioners have elected Mr. Arthur Lyon to the posi- tion of city manager at a salary of of the Webb-Kanyon law which West $2,000 a year.

CITY ELECTION TUESDAY WAS A QUIET AFFAIR. The city election Tuesday was a very quiet affair, due largely to the act that there was practically no op position to any of the candidate. Mayor Murphy, who was opposed by Mr. J. H. Cook, received 807 vote to 219 cast for his opponent, largely ncreasing the lead he had over Mr. Cook in the primary. There was no opposition to the Other candidates and the rote cast for them was as follows: R. M. Rees, commissioner of public safety, 897; J. Giles Foushee, commissioner of public works. 917; S. Glenn Brown, judge of the Municipal court, 951. The commissioners hld the first meeting of their new administration yesterday afternoon, took the oath of office and elected several city offi-' cials. Mayor Murphy took the oath before Squire D. H. Collins and then administered the oaths of their re spective offices to Commissioners . Rees and Foushee and Judge Brown. Commissioner Foushee was made mayor pro tern and Commissioner Rees city treasurer. Other city offi cials were re-elected as follows: -John; S. Michaux, city clerk; A. Wayland? Cooke, city attorney; Ira B. Iseley, chief of police; W. H. Swift, substi tute judge of the Municipal court; E. D. Kuykndall, prosecuting attor ney of the Municipal court. LAW AGAIN TAKES HOLD OF PRFNCE FARRINGTON. Prince Farrington, of Sumner township, is in trouble with the Law again concerning the handling of a little liquor. While returning from Virginia Saturday night with an au tomobile loaded with whiskey Far rington was captured in Reidsville after an exciting chase. In the re corder's court Monday morning nts attorneys asked for a continuance of the hearing ..and, the trial was. ppaU poned untH" to Worrovk. Recorder Humphreys held Farington under a bond of $i,000 for his appearance, the bond being signed by his father, T. B. Farrington, and A. L. Rayl. During the chase through Reids ville Farrington threw overboard a part of his load, scattering about 15 gallon packages of corn liquor along Main street. When arrested he had 51 gallons in the machine. At the last December term of Guil ford Superior court Farrington en tered a plea of nolo contendere on a charge of selling liquor and f aid a fine of $150 and the costs. He was also placed under a bond of $250 to appear at each succeeding term of criminal court for the period of two years and show that he had not been engaged in the liquor bu?iness. Asslstance of Judges Asked. Judge Frank Daniels, who is hold ing court in Wayne county, has re ceived from the department of labor and printing a letter with copies ot the child labor laws, requesting him to call attention to these laws in charges to juries, and likewise to turn over copies of them to solici tors. The letter further expressed the opinion that few of the child labor laws are ever enforced, but adds the hope that if the judges of the state will call attention to the laws and the need of enforcing them in this state then prosecutions under them will be looked for. It was intimated in the letter that every judge on the bench in North Carolina has received oneof these let ters and that likewise every factory has received copies of the laws, indi cating that, so far as -the law allows the authority, the department of la bor is doing everything fn its power to secure the enforcement of the la bor laws. To Pass Upon Liquor Law. The United States Supreme court has advanced for argument the test company may not deliver an inter- state shipment of liquor for personal ' use in West Virginia because it is . law. - i&e Maryland-west .Virginia cases - (there are two of them) and a simi-. nj r - heard jointly in about a week. - ... . i f r -I . -
