I.ondon, June 29.—General van Linsengen has driven the Russians across the Zlota L'pa river, a tribu tary of tbe Dneister, where yester- day s I’etrograd dispatches stated that the Russian army would establish it self on a new Hue against the Aus tro-German advance in Galicia. At the same time the German forces have crossed into Russian territory near Tomascow, Poland. The Russians are beginning to evacuiite positions they have occupied along the lower San. Enormous numbers of German troops are being transported from ttie eastern front to the west. The great est secrecy surrounds the movement. Official reports from Paris and Ber lin chronicle little fighting of a na ture calculated to change materially the situation of either adversary. The most notable action was the fight in the Vosges, where the French suffered a momentary check. Their advance posts were thrown back dur ing the night and the contest continued in the morning. After a terrific count er attack, in which the Germans were again dislodged, it is reported from Paris that the French again occupied all the ground they had lost. A slight advance was made by the French infantry north of Verdun, in the Arras sector. In a sharp engage ment the French gained the sunken road from Inncs to Aliiain and by dint of hard fightiug were able to push their advance position a few h’lndred yards forward. Anglo-French troops on the (ialipoli Peninsula are lieavily bombardi .g the Turkish right wing, nrcordinp to Uie Turkish report, but the other lias iii't ret announceil the result of this operytion. KiNSTON GETS A NEW mi BRICK E CELEBRATE AT TIE SEA COAST ON THIRO OF Sa E New Central Will be One of tbe Most Substantial and Convenient in State. NEW BUILDING WILL COST NEARLY $25,000 Has Floor Space ol' 3JM>00 Sqnare Feet and Not a Post Anywhere—LIg:lit On Tobacco Will be Perfect in Any Part of Warebouse and Other ('on- veniences for Patrons of House. Artesian Water Pipe Into Itnildinf;, Kinston, June uOth, lin.'j.— Kinston's first brick warehouse is nearing completion when the Central will be one of the most substantial and conveniently arranged warehouses for the sale of leaf tobacco to be found In Eastern Carolina or any part of the state for that matter. When the wo.k that is now under construction is cooi- pleted, which will be soon, the build ing will bo an entirely new structure and very greatly improved in many ways from the warehouse as it was originally built. Last year the proprietors, .Messrs. J. H. Parham, H. C. Wooten and E. P. Wooten spent about ?10,000 In exten sion and other improvements. This year between $12,000 and $1."),000 more Improvements have been added which makes the warehouse an entire ly new building. It is now 110 feet wide by 350 feet long, giving a floor space of 33,000 square feet. There arc several new features that will make it especially valuable for the display of leaf tobacco on sale. There is not a post in the entire floor spacc and only two in the mammoth buildlr.g, which are in the front and supporting sleep ing quarters for patrons of the ware house. The roof of the building has been lowered, which greatly aids in shedding light, a very important fac tor in selling leaf tobacco on ware house floors. There is not any part of the building that there isn't plenty of light to show off the tobacco. In the front part of the building there has been constructed ample sleeping quarters for farmers who come here from a distance to sell their tobacco at the Central and this is to be made comfortable for them. From ;i frroaf overflow artesian well water Uvill be coiidiK'ti ll into the wareliouse land flowing all the time for the con- jvt nience of those in the building. The office, which will be in the corner ofthe 'warehouse at Heritage and west North street, is to be handsomely fitted out and there will !)•■ double scabs ser vice, one in eacli end of the long bnililing. Kinston's tobacconists are making extensiv*- improvements to take care of the business for next season anij tbe Central will be right in the fore front. -Mr. and Mrs. John .Ma.vo, of Ii>'t!ie1, are visiting Hr. ainl Mrs. I'.

AGENTS ARE BUSY GUARDING NEUTRALITY They Arc Watching Mexican Leaders in All Parts of this f’onntry—Gen eral Antfeles, Villa’s IliRht Hand Man, Suspected of Beini; Involved in llnerta Plot—SuBwestlons for Actioi for the I'nited States to Take. Washington, June 29.—The Carranza agency here gave out a statement to night that American citizens are flee ing from Mexico City into the mili tary camp of the Carranza general, Pablo Gonzales, which is about three miles southeast of the city. The agency also says that a coi'imit- tee of the diplomatic corps is asking the Zapata officials to protect the prop erty of foreign governments. The Carranzaistas here say that Zapata ia about to evacuate Mexico City. The state department gave out a short bulletin today stating that condi tions in Mexico “are not reassuring," and that Carranza is rushing troops to reinforce General Gonzales. The navy deiuirtmeiit has received a dispatch from the Xew Orleans at Popi)lf>bambo stating that the town of f.os .\achis was raided by the In dians un the west coast on June 17th, when a liritish subject, John Jamis- ton, was killed, but that all is quiet in that section now. SduH' ollicials here, believe t!ie linn has arrived for a lielinite step in .Mexi can affairs. Two courses are now open. One is to increase the pres sure on Carranza to comped him to negotiate with Villa and the other is to eliminate Carranza personally from consideration and attempt to get to gether Villa and prominent men allied with other factions to hold a conven tion to select a candidate for president, for whom all could concentrate. He would be assured of recognition by the United States, and the latter plan is believed to be llio stt p President Wil son will take. Agents of the X'nitcd States govern ment were all over the country today watching <arefully the movements of prominent Mexicans who have been active in Mexican politicas, to see that there are no violations of Amerii'ati neutrality. The arrest of Victoriano Huerta and Pasciial Orozco at K! Paso and tlio strict surveillance over (ieiierals Felix Diaz, Hondragon, Hlanquet and Felipe Angeles, now living in tlie rnited States, and others, is a part of the .-\merican government's policy to pre vent the .setting afoot of any new military movement in Mexico. Officials here feel that the revolutionary situa tion in Mexico ought not to be further complicated by the intruduction of new elements. Possiliilities that others mar be identified with the so-called Huerta conspiracy intensified interest here j today in {he investigation by agents' Ilf the d. p'trlnient of justice into thej situation. It is even intimated that, citizens of one of the European bel-! ligerents are involved. It was !«aid j also that the department of justice was in posssssion of some evidence* which seemed to connect General Angeles, Villa's right hand man, with tlM> plot. j “Summer Capital” Preparing to Entertain Large Crowd on That Day.

Dr. Hancroft said, wa."! not a product of a systematized delusion such as characterizes the true para- roiac. "The killing of Stanford White,” he said, “is apparent to us as a pas sionate impulsive act growinif out of a cotidition of mind due i hietly to anger and jealousy, which w.'is the final culmination of a series of cir cumstances that had been bearing down on him during a long time. It did not seem a type of parai.oiac, but was due to jealously of Mr. White and not to a diseased condition of mind. (iMOlAW TO lu: INKtlUMKO Will \ I . S.
