The noted case of Miss Lou Riley, of Sanford, against Mr. W. H. Stone, Jr., of this city, for $15,000 damages for alleged slander and false arrest was taken up in Chatham county Su perior court at Pittsboro Monday and the trial is still in progress. The plaintiff Is represented by Col. J. A. Barringer, Judge R. C. Strudwick. of this city, and Mr. F. W. Bynum, of Pittsboro. The defend ant is renre- sented by Messrs. A. L. Brooks. of this city, R. h. Hayes and W. D. Siler, of Chatham county. Tin is the civil side of the con troversy. The case charging Miss Riley with larceny was tried in the opera house here several months a&o by the city court and resulted in the acquittal of Miss Riley. In the outset of the trial attorneys for the plaintiff took a non-suit as to Thomas Hicks, a book-keeper ot the Ellis-Stone store, and W. T. Me Cuiston, a Greensboro policeman, who had been original parties de fendant. The lawyers explained their, theory that Mr. Stone directed the conduct of both Hicks and McCuis ton and in their evidence sought to fix responsibility for the girl's hu miliation upon Mr. Stone. Counsel for Mr. Stone objected to all testi mony as to the conduct of either ! Hicks or McCuiston. but Judge Bond , permitted Miss. Riley to testify as to I this. 1 The testimony of Miss Riley. ! briefly, was that on December 4 ! last Hicks called her into the office. 1 and locking the door, began to ac cuse her. She said that he charged her with theft, and when she refused to confess, he accused her of being a crook. While Hicks and she were in the room she said John Stone, a son of the defendant, came in and in quired as to the kind of a party they were having. She answered, "thief.'' 1 Young Stone said they had been ! missing things six months. Women hi me store naa accused her. Later the elder Stone came in. After ter rorizing her. he asked her if she knew wiuit it meant. She replied. "My discharge and my disgrace." Here she broke down for the first time and wept. Then followed the trip to her room and the search. She explained the presence of many of the things in her room. Some had been bought, others had been bor rowed, but none taken with any idea of stealing, she said. i he second day of the trial was oc cupied chiefly by cross-examination r . i i . . . oi me plaintiff. Miss Riley. The ex amination took three-fourths of the day and the balance went for intro duction of character witnesses. During the noon hour Miss Riley and her attorneys were in conference over the tickets and during the af vv..wwu I'icoc " ci c niiroaucea in court and the plaintiff identified Liieui. i nere w ere IS which she claimed were nut her handwriting and not hers. The defense laid much stress on the fact that the complaint in the case was published and ques tioned the witness concerning this Attorneys for the plaintiff sought to were mar- establish that although the plaintiff was supposed to have been watched for some while, the company did raise her wages in September, three months before her dismissal. To this hour wonderful deport ment had characterized the crowd Judge Bond appealed on opening the court to observe order. "I have been on tne bench 1 o months and have never had to ask a court room to ob serve order, he said. "I am prouder of that record than anything in my he said. "I never have had to ask a sheriff to yell at the crowd and I don't mind saying that I might not see a person if he dfd a little wrong. I have observed that if judges respect the people they respect him." "Reciprocity," bowed Colonel Bar ringer. Miss Riley was explaining her pur chases. Mr. Brooks asked if she took a discount on a 25-ceut purchase. v'No," she replied, "it was marked down to cost, 19 cents, and we were not entitled to those." A titter, a timid attempt at applause and an al most inaudible hand-clapping began. Judge Bond did not appear to see or hear it, the crowd was between tw fires. It created no disorder. Judgf Bond heard the first ripple of applause and he let it be known when Miss Riley was relating the interview with Mr. Stone and the plaintiff. "That's the second ime that a demonstration of this kind has been started," Judge Bond said. "I would be untrue to my position if I did not say to you in all kindness that this must be the last time. We are sworn to do our duty. This case is with the jury and myself. That crowd out there is not sworn. If put to the test I would quickly show myself equal to silencing it." Mr. Brooks scored at adjournment hour Tuesday. He. persuaded his witness to say Mr. Stone told her that girls and others in the store had told her that she was taking goods from the store. This came in answer to clever work that took many routes to reply. The point was a part of the defendant's justification. Yesterday C. H. Dorsett.of Greens-! boro. was recalled to show that Miss Riley's handsome lace which figured in her evidence was given at- his place. He said drummers often gave women in charge of certain depart ments articles of wear and did so with his consent. He was not cross examined. Elmer Shields, employe of the Ellis-Stone Cofrlpany, was examined next. He had an engagement with Miss Riley the evening of her deten tion in the Ellis-Stone store. He did not fulfill it, as she did not come home, where ire was to meet her. The next time he saw her was Sat urday niorning following the Thurs day night trouble at the store. She told him all about it, he said, and testified to almost the identical facts that Miss Riley detailed. He said she told' him that Mr. Stone tried to make her tell him on paper all that she had taken and she told him a regiment like you could not make me say anything." Mrs. W. M. Riley, mother of the plaintiff, testified to her daughter s coming .home. "I would not have known her." Mrs. Riley broke down as sne was giving me ewueuce, ler daughter did. It was late at night when Miss Riley came home. Mrs. Riley merely said that Miss Hiler ibliJ ""be wttat she told on the stand. She was not allowed to tes tify this way, but the defense insisted upon no objection. She was asked two questions on cross-examination as to tickets for the wash rags and the tie. and said her daughter told her that she did not make tickets for these. The plaintiff rested with a request to withdraw from the record the tes- timony as to Miss Kiiey s aeuiuai in the police court. Judge Bond did not entertain for a moment the mo tion for non-suit and Mr. Brooks ask ed the privilege to renew the motion later. He called Thomas Hicks, book keeper of the Ellis, Stone Company, first for the defense. Mr. Hicks said he had bored a hole in the wall and -watched Miss Riley. He saw tier take some cretonne and found in her bag some wash rags, also in a box that Miss Riley said was empty, a purple tie. He said he called atten tion to these articles. Miss Belle Moore, one of the sales ladies, was on the stand yesterday afternoon and testified that some of the salesgirls had told Mr. Stone that Miss Riley was under suspicion and that witness had seen Miss Riley take some small things from the store. She testified that she had told Miss Riley that she was dress ing beyond her means and that no other girls of the store took things out of the store without making tick ets. She was put througn a vigorous cross-examination by Colonel Barrin ger and was questionad particularly about her statement that Miss Riley was dressing beyond means. Policeman McCuiston told of going on the trip to Miss Riley's room and of the search. He also testified that Mr. Stone had told him that he did not want to prosecute Miss Riley. The defense sought to strengthen the claim that the prosecution of Miss Riley in the Greensboro police court was not malicious. McCuiston testi tied that he was only on the case about 40 minutes from the time he was called to the store. He said Mr Stone's treatment of Miss Riley While he was present was very con siderate. W. H. Stone, Jr., is scheduled to take the stand this morning and this will probably be a most interesting day. RUSSIANS STILL IH RETREAT AUSTRO-GERMAN VICTORY MADE COMPLETE ALL. ALONG LINE. IS Mrs. N. P. Angell and children, o (Jo Ids boro, are spending the summer with Mrs. Angell's mother, Mrs. W. R. Bogart. Driven back over their own fron tier north of Lemberg and forced to cross the river Gnila Lipa, in south east Galicia, the Russian armies con tinue to retreat before the Austro German forces along a front of ap proximately 250 miles. Berlin records progress in virtual ly the entire southeastern theater, al though violent fighting still is in progress beyond the Ghila Lipa, which joins the Dniester at Halicz. Having forced a passage of this stream, General von Linsingen's army is presumably astride the rail way running from Halicz to Lemberg and Stanislau, and now doubtless is aiming at zhe line which runs from Lemberg to Odessa through Tarno pol. It seems evident that Germany is bent on further punishment for the Russians before relaxing the inten sity of her Galician campaign, but with the Russians across the fron tier the Germans will have to rely almost solely on road transport, and their advance will be slower. The Russians are making their stand on the Bug river. This great stream, which offers many advant ages for a strong defense, rises near Zloczow, in Galicia; runs almost north, forms a great part of the eastern frontier of Russian Poland, and joins the Vistula eighteen miles northwest of Warsaw. It is along the Galician course that the army of Grand Duke Nicholas is believed to have taken up strong positions, loss of which would mean further retire ment of the Russian forces. Already the Austro-Germans have pushed back to the Bug near Ka mionka, northeast of Lemberg, and farther north have penetrated Rus sian Poland, capturing the important town of Tomaszow. According to Vienna, they also have driven the Russians holding ground near Sielec northward as far as Krystianpol, a distance of about etghtr miles, and have taken Burstyn, north of Talicz. In fact, the masses of Austrian and German troops are advancing along their entire front, in the southeast forcing the Russians before them inj a broad, sweeping movement, and in the northeast pushing forward with Warsaw as their objective. Should the Austro-German forces cross the Bug river in strength, the complete evacuation of eastern Ga- icia by the Russians would seem probable. An interesting incident of the war is the occupation of Scutari, Albania, by the Montenegrins. Two years ago, in the Balkan war, the Monte negrin troops captured Scutari after a long siege and held it for a time against the proests of the great powers Austria and Italy being mostlv concerned but its evacua tion was ordered by King Nicholas when the, Montenegrin coast was blockaded by an international naval squadron. Serbia already had sent troops into Albania when Montene gro decided to make a second descent on Scutari, which had long been an object of her desire. The western zone is quiet, al though the sector in which Arras is situated is still the scene of French efforts to gain ground which in the final accounting would prove of im measurable value to them, and fight ing also has been going on in the Vosges. Germany Sends Troops West. Enormous numbers of German troops are being transported from the eastern front to the west. The greatest secrecy surrounds the move ment. As on the occasion of the first attempted drive towards Calais, the Germans have again adopted the ex pedient of closing the border be tween Holland and Belgium. Official reports from Paris and Berlin chronicle little fighting of a nature calculated to change the situ ation of either of the aaversaries. The most spirited action was fought in the Vosges, where, in their endeavor to push forward on the slopes to the east of Matzeral, the French suffered a momentary check. Their advance posts were thrown back during the night, and in the morning the contest for the positions were resumed. After a terrific counter attack, in which the Germans were again dislodged, it was report ed at Paris that the French again oc cupied all the ground they had lost. economy heretofore has not been strong feature of the gatherings at Guildhall, so closely connected wltti aldermatic Danquets of proverbial opulence, but Premier Asquith today chose this home of wealth to initiate a movement in support of the Brit ish war loan.

The Do minion freight liner Armenian, fry ing the British flag and carrying mules from Newport News, Va.. to England, was torpedoed and sunk Monday night by the German subma rine U-38 off Cornwall, England, and nearly a score of American muleteers aboard are reported lost, 1 according to messages to the state department today from John S. Arm- ' strong, Jr., consul at Bristol. Twenty-nine men in all were lost and ten injured. . The news created a sensation In official quarters, as it wsa the first case of loss of American lives since the sinking of the Lusitania. The ac tion of the Washington government, however, depends' almost entirely on whether the Armenian was chartered by the British government and was, in fact, a transport of war, aboard which Americans would sail at their own risk, or whether she was an un armed merchantman. In the latter case, even though carrying contra band, the ship should have been sub jected to visit and search and those aboard transferred to a place of safe ty before the destruction of the ves sel was attempted, officials hold. DR. STANTON WILL STAY ON JOB AT HIGH POINT. rm-fTrst real snag in its attempt t6 carry out the policy of putting the High Point government on a strictly partisan basis has come up in the case of the vital statistics registrar, Dr. D. A. Stanton, who declined to resign and who has the opinion of the attorney general of the state to the effect that he cannot be removed except under the method of prefer ring charges against him. This de cision by the state's legal depart ment has blocked the scheme of the councilmen and it now looks as though the doctor will make good his alLeged declaration that he "at least was one Republican who would not be thrown out of office." In its clean sweep of Republicans, the council attempted to name the new city health officer as vital statis tics registrar. Dr. Stanton insisted that his appointment was for four years from October, 1913, and there fore he could not be summarily oust ed. The matter was then put up to the state's attorney general, resulting in the opinion just received favorable to Doctor Stanton. Asquith Asks For War Loan. London, June 29.

Hundreds of guests, many of them prominent in the nation's political and social life, were in Bowling Green today for the wedding of Miss Genevieve Clark, 20-year-old daugh ter of Speaker Champ Clark. Miss Clark was married late today to James M. Thompson, publisher of the New Orleans Item. To the people of Missouri Speaker Clark had issued a blanket invita tion, and so great was the throng that took him at his word that Bow ling Green scarcely could hold them. To provide quarters for the hundreds whom the townspeople could not en tertain sleeping cars were sidetrack ed in the local railway yards. The ' wedding took place on the lawn of "Honey Shuck," the Clark home. The Rev. S. Boyd, of Louisville, Ky., cou sin of the bride, was the officiating clergyman. Scores of members of Congress were present and Missouri state offi cials were here in force. Senators Reed and Stone came on a special train, and Governor Major, a life long friend of Speaker Clark, had a place among the guests. . 1 Miss Annie Jordan, of Liberty, is spending a few days with EIrs.
