The June criminal term of Su-perior
court adjourned this morning
after Judge Cline had passed sen-tence
on A. C. Jackson, of Winston-
Salem. who was charged with having
liquor in his possession for illegal
purposes. Jackson was sentenced to
the county roads for 15 months and
gave notice of an appeal to the Su-preme
court. He was held under a
bond of $2,000, which he gave with-out
any trouble.
Jackson is alleged to have been
the owner of an automobile load of
Whiskey captured near Oak Ridge
some time ago by Sheriff Stafford
and Deputy Sheriff Benbow. Eugene
Charles, of Winston-Salem, was in
charge of the machine when the ar-rest
was made, Jackson having left
upon the approach of the officers.
Charles was used as a witness for the
state, and told of having accom-panied
Jackson to Ridge vay, Va., for
the load of liquor.
The sheriff confiscated the auto-mobile.
Monroe Coble, who was captured
at a blockade still in Greene town-ship
a short time ago, was acquitted
of the charge of illicit distilling.
Coble did not take the witness stand,
but proved by a companion that he
was merely a visitor at the still.
Coble was the only man arrested, the
others in the party making their e3-'
cape.
Bight boys of the Glendale school
community—John Kelly, Stephen
Baker, Jesse Baker, Roe Stout, Tom
Norwood, Roy Leonard, Lloyd Pike
and Harvey Meade—submitted to a
charge of breaking and entering and
were taxed with the costs of the case,
amounting to about $1,4 each. Tiie
youthful defendants were charged
with entering the Glendale school
building and making aw»y with some
of the products of the domestic
science class.
Gilbert Newel, charged with the
larceny of over $500 from the office
of the North Carolina Public Service
Company, whore he was employed as
a clerk, was sentenced to the roads
for 12 months. It will be recalled
that, following the theft and the con-fession
of his guilt, young Newell
was given a suspended sentence by
the judge of the Municipal court and
placed in the care of the city proba-tion
officer for two years. This was
done under authority of an act of
the last legislature giving judges au-thority
to exercise their discretion of
offenders under 18 years of age.
The hearing in the Superior court
was on the question of the lower
court's jurisdiction in the case.
Judge Cline .held that the statute
was not intended to cover crimes of
the character of which Xewell was
convicted. An appeal was taken to
the Supreme court and the defend-ant
held under a bond of $1,500.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE FROM THE
GRAND MTRY APPOINTED
FOR IpS PURPOSE.
Acting upon a'recommendation in
the report of {tie grand jury for this
week's term o{ Superior court, JudgeJ
Cline has appointed a committee cf
six men from; that body to iuspec:
the convict camps of the county at
such times asjnay be deemed proper
between now and tlie next criminal
term of court. .The following wore
named as members o: the commit-tee:
Charles K. Ireland, E. Ster'.-
berger, J. R. Ross, W. A. Branson
and R. L. Small.
The report submitted to the court
by the grand jury follows:
"The grand jury, having the entire
interest of the county before it. is
glad to announce many items of
progress and improvement, but it
feels in duty bound to call attention
to one place which we believe is sus-ceptible
of improvement
"From reports received from
sources which we car. but believe
are reputable, there are conditions
that need improvement i:i the man-agement
of the-county convict camps.
Nor do we believe that it can be rem-edied
by visits of the grand jury-while
sitting, and if we had thepower
we would appoint a hold-over com-mute
of the grand jury to vis:: the
*mps between the sittings of the
grand jury and report its findings to

SPECIAL TRAIN WITH
REFUGEES TO THE BORDER.
Douglas. Ariz., June" 20.—A
speciai train left Nacozari, Sonora,
last night with 110 Americans and
other foreigners aboard.
It is also reported here on good
authority that American employes of
the mir.es and smelters in Cananea
are leaving to come to the border at
Naco.
A telegram from W. A. Julian,
United States consular agent at Can-anea.,
yesterday said:
"Local conditions here are again
normal. General P. Elias Calles is-sued
a circular yesterday calling on
all citizens to respect the rights and
safety of foreigners. Mines and
smelters are working with full
crews."
It was reported today that Consul
Simplch had issued orders from his
office at Nogales that all Americans
should leave the portions of Mexico
under his jurisdiction at once.
Adoifo De La Huerta, civil gover-nor
of Sonora, has issued orders un-der
which the civil population of
the state are arming themselves, ac-cording
to Americans reaching here
:'rom Naco. who were in Cananea
Saturday eight and listened to the
reading of the oificial message in a
theater. De La Huerta is said to
have used strong language in urging
the Mexicans to make haste to pre-pare
to meet the American forces.
From the same source it is learned
that the demonstration of Saturday

"The grand jury, having learned
of the generosity of certain public-spirited
citizens of Guilford county
in making generous sifts toward
the establishment Ofatubercular host
pital for the treatment of patients
afflicted with this disease, would
commend this act on the part of
those so generously inclined and
would rpcommtiiA a liberal encour-agement
of that act on the part of

it to tlie general co-operation
of the board of county commission-ers.
"The grand jury would record ?ts
pleasure at the announcement of the
intention of the enterprising board
of county commissioners i:i their ef-fort
to establish a school for unfortu-nate
negro boys, who have started in
the wrong course of life, and by this
act to set in motion forces for the
prevention of crime and thus do
away with the necessity of so much
punishment by reason of the reduc-tion
of crime. We wish to Commend
this wise act on the part or our hoard
of county commissioners as deserving
the highest praise.
"The grand jury would call atten-tion
to the inadequate furnishing of
the grand jury room and would rec-ommend
the immediate purchase of
suitable furniture, the secure fasten-ing
for the locking of tie dorr and
the more careful sanitarv keeping of
the room by a proper janitor.
"The grand jury wishes to com-mend
the splendid system of roads
which has been laid out and built by
the board of county commissioners
but we would recommend a more ad-equate
provision be made for main-taining
the roads after they arc
built."

London, June 20.—Having cap-tured
C'zernowitz, the Russians are
well on their way from that city and
from various points along the river
Pruth, driving the Austrians before
them toward the Sereht river and the
Carpathian mountain passes. Nu-merous
additional points have been
captured by the Russians in their
drive, and mo/e guns, machine guns,
ammunition and foodstuffs have fall-en
into their hands..
Heavy fighting is still in progress
to the north, in Galicia and Volhynia,
with the Russians generally on the
offensive, but with the Austro-Hun-garians
and the Geimans tenaciously
battling against their further ad-vance.
In the region south of the
Pripet Marshes to the west of Kolkl,
and along the Stokhod river where
the Kovel-Kovno railway crosses the
stream, the Russians attacks have
been partly repulsed by the German
General Von Linsingen's forces, ac-cording
to Berlin, while northwest of
Lutsk the battle is going in favor of
Germans.
Petrograd admits the penetration
of the Russian lines by the Aus-trians
north of the town of Lokatchi,
but says that later the Russians re-trieved
this setback. The announce-ment
indicates that the drive in
Volhynia has brought the Russians
to within twenty miles of Vladimir-
Volynsk, the head of the railway
running north through Kovel.
Along the Galician border near
Raziviloff the Russians announce the
capture of 1,800 prisoners. Berlin
reports the situation of the Teutonic
allies in northern Galicia, near Bucz-acz.
as unchanged.
On the front in France only one
infantry action took place Monday.
This was between the Avre and the
Oise, where the Germans attempted
to approach the French lines, but
were repulsed with hand grenades.
Only bombardments, violent in the
region northeast of Verdun and
against the British positions near
Neuville St. Vaast but intermittent
elsewhere, lime taken place along the
rest of the line in Fra-.ce and Bel-gium.
Numerous battle in the air,
in which six German machines!
among them two Fokkers, were driv-en
down by the British, are recorded
in the British official communica-tion.
The British themselves lost
tw-o aircraft.
A severe battle between the Aus-trians
and Italians is in progress on
the Setti Communi plateau, to the.
west of Asiago. On the various oth-er
sectors southeast of Trent numer-ous
Austrian attacks have been re-pulsed.
The Italians report some progress
northeast of Asiago and the capture
of 100 Austrians and two machine
uns.
Three Italian steamers and five
Italian sailing ships have been sunk.
At least one of the vessels, the
steamer Leprovedita, is reported to
have been sent to the bottom by
Austrian submarines.
