SUED THE WIONG MAN frr- Breach of Promise Suit Against Prominent New York Attorney Is Killed by Sodden Appearance of a Stranger Who Says He is the Man the Woman Should be Sneihg. Rivaling In Its dramatic climaxes the most famous best sellers the suit of Miss Rae Tanzer, of New York, against former Assistant District At torney James W. Osborne was knock ed to pieces Friday night by her ar rest on a federal warrant charging the unlawful use of the United States mall. Miss Tanzer, who Is the forewoman In a large hat factory, began on last Wednesday a breach of promise suit against Attorney Osborne. The day's developments in one of the most remarkable suits of its kin 1 ever filed in New York county began early. Gilbert D. Lamb of Osborne, Lamb ft Oarvan, had scarcely reach ed his offices at 115 Broadway before the door opened and a broad should ered man standing sit feet entered He approached a clerk. “I would like to see James W. Os borne at once,” he said. “My bust ness is pressing.” The stranger was told that Mr. Os borne had not reached his office and that it might be noon before he came down town. “Well, I've got to see some one in authority and see him now,” declared the caller. Til tell you this much I'm here In connection with the wo man case Mr. Osborne is Involved in and I've got some Information 1 have reason to feel sure he will be glad to have.” The clerk disappeared and soon re turned. He conducted the visitor in to the private office of Mr. Lamb “I am the Oliver Osborne Miss Rae Tanzer has had for a friend and whom she should sue if she sues any one,” aald the visitor. “I live in Bos ton and came here on the sleeper be cause I thought it my duty not to let this other Osborne suffer the mental agonies he must be suffering. I have brought proof with me and I can ez plain this whole thing and vindicate this man in ten minutes “I'll call Mr. Osborns on the tele phone and make an appointment for you.” replied Mr. Lamb. 'T'm sure he'll hurry down.” "If you had Just as soon, pi make the appointment at the gentle man's apartment.” said Mr. Osborne of Boston. “I am particularly anx lous to tell my story to him in the presence of his wife. Probably she has suffered more than her husband Mr. Lamb furnished him with the lawyer's address and as soon as the door closed on him be got his part ner on the telephone. What he said to him Isn't recorded, but when Mr Osborne of Boston appeared at the Sherman Square Hotel twenty min utes later he was promptly shown into the Osborne apartment, where he was greeted by husband and wife Mr. Osborne of Boston said he was a steamfltter and in business at 210 Clay Street. Boston, and must return on an early afternoon train ”1 felt I Just had to do it,” he said In a half apologetic way, “so I hop ped a train and here 1 am. Now I'm the man who has been mixed up with this woman and so far as 1 am aware you never saw her. All the time she was writing those letters to you at the New Kork Athletic club, as the newspapers say, she was writ ing love notes to me at my business address in Boston. You won't have to take my word for it for I’ve got one of the letters right here in my pocket.” The eyes of Mrs. Osborne fairly shone with gratitude while the "bull dog of the bar" swallowed as though there might be a lump in his throat "And you came all the way here to tell me this of your own accord,” gasped the attorney, "and did it with out suggestion from any one?” "I certainly did,” replied Oliver Osborne. "I saw the stories in the newspapers and I Just said to myself that it wasn’t fair to have you should er this blame and have disgrace fall on Mrs. Osborne and your boy.” The visitor dug into an inside pocket and brought out a letter writ ten on the letterhead of Farrington ft Evans. It was identical even in punctuation with some of those re ceived by the New York lawyer at the New York Athletic club. It was most endearing in its tone. "ThaL’s one of them,” smiled the Boston man. “Here, take it. You’ll see that this was written while she was sending demands to you. I’ve got a lot more, but this was the only one I could lay my hands on in my hurry." Mrs. Osborne and her husband rap idly read the note which, if true, mean so much to them, and when they were through their visitor went on with his story. “I was in New York one day last fall when .1 met* this young woman on the street and picked her up,” Jje said. "She was a pleasant acquant- ance. I might say that it was what you might call a business acquaint ance. I was very generous with her. I sAw her several times and I'm quite willing to go on the stand and relate all I know." He described a visit to New York about six or seven months before when there was an accident in the street, and in the crowd that collect ed he noticed Miss Tanzer. She no ticed him so pleasantly that conver- ti.—Th— wma a walk, a conceal from Miss Taaser wio he sras» but told her frankly that hU name was Oliver Osborne. U»At he earned hie living by a trade, and that ho lived In Boston. Later they ex changed addresses In order that otfier appointments might be made by mall Osborne said that he jnet Mlrs Tanser on other occasions' when he came to this city and that she al ways was willing to make appoint' meats and always kept them. He told many details of his acquaintance with her. He said he saw her pic ture In the newspapers and when he read of her suit against J.' W. Oc- borne he knew it was a case of mis taken Identity and concluded to do the right and manly thing to the end that the lawyer might be cleared of suspicion and his family relieved of the odium of the suit. Miss Tanzer was found late In the day at the office of her attorneys, and taken to District Attorney Marshall’s office. A request was said to have been made to permit the prisoner to remain under the custody of her at torneys, but to have been refused. Miss Tanzer was composed when she was arrainged before the desk She was dressed in a tailored blue suit and wore a modish hat. If she was at all afraid she gave no sign of it, for she answered the questions calmly and without a tremor. She even smiled at her captors. Efforts were made to clear up some of the points in the story, but nobody would talk for publication RUSSIANS ASSUME NEW DUTIES AT PRZEMY8L. Mr. Osljorne said over the phone: <r Under the circumstances I can not discuss the matter or give out the name of the man who came to me with the Information that has en abled me to clear myself of the charge so quickly.” Told that the man was Oliver Os borne and the name was known to all, Mr. Osborne replied: "I promised not to make it public and I shall keep my word. I want to say that he Is one of the whitest men ever born. I have repeatedly said that I would be fully vindicated and now it has been shown that there was not a word of truth in that wo man's story.” Word came from Plainfield, N J that about the middle of the after noon on October 18, 1914, a man and a woman called at the Kensing ton Hotel, near the railroad station The man wrote in the register "Oil ver Osborne and Mrs. Oliver Os borne.” They were assigned to room, where they remained about three hours. They went away and did not return. The clerk could not remember the appearance of either the man or the woman beyond that they were well dressed and were qutet and reserved Inquiry was made to discover whether Miss Tanzer was not really the victim of an honest mistake. Oli ver Osborne was positive in his state ment that he told Miss Tanzer Just who he was and that she had not the slighteat reason to doubt his word She knew that letters addressed to him at Boston reached him, because he replied-to them Therefore, she could not have supposed that he was a member of the New York Athletic club, to which she had addressed so many letters that J. \V Osborne got and had begun them. "Dear Oliver.” Oliver Osborne was positive also that Miss Tanzer oould not have mistaken another man for htm SHOULD CONSIDER THE FARMER Office of Public Roads Issues Bulletin on Radiating Roads. A bulletin issued by the Office of Public Roads of the United States De partment of Agriculture contains a map of Dallas county, Ala , as illus trating the intelligent handling of the problem of road Improvement so as to benefit the largest number of far mers. The map shows five improved roads centering at Selma. One of these branches a short distance from town making six radiating roads. Only two relatively unimportant roads leading out from Selma are unim proved. The total length of improv ed roads in the county is 197 miles. While this is only 19 per cent, of the total road mileage, as a result of the policy of improving part of the mile age of each important road leading out from their principal market town and shipping point, the farmers in nearly every part of the county have an improved road for at least part of their haul to market. As was point ed out by President Harrison of Southern Railway company, in his address before the American Road Congress at Atlanta, the farmer should be given first consideration in the selection of country roads to be improved and the greatest possible number of farmers will be benefltted by a system of radiating roads such as has been adopted in Dallas Coun ty. REFUSES U. 8. REQUEST. Great Britain Will Not Permit Con sul at Kirwall. A London dispatch announces that the British government has refused the request of the United States for permission to station an American consular officer at Kirkwall, to report on American cargo ships detained there. State department officials at Wash ington expressed surprise when in formed of the report that Great Brit ain had refused the request of thia government to station a consul at Kirkwall. 'You say refused?" asked Counsel lor Lansing. "The department has not received any notification of such decision.” He would not comment further. Submarine Slq^a Steamer.

London reports Wednesday: The real significance Of the surrender of Przemysl and speculation as to how quickly the Russians will be able to press the resulting advantages in an advance to Hungary and Silesia con tinued to be the chief topics of mili tary discussion to-day. The Russians are putting the for tress in orddr. They are sending the prisoners td the rear, .feeding the starving populace and tending the sick and wounded. The task is an enormous one and so it is presumed that Russia for some time will not be able to divert elsewhere her strength which for so long has been engaged in front of this stronghold. These men are estimated at six army corps Official reports disclose nothing new of importance in the west, but unofficial dispatches from Rotterdam and Amsterdam say another German offensive on the western front is im pending. Stubborn fighting continues in the Carpathians. In the north the Rus sians admit they have been thrown back froufthe East Prussian port of Memel and they characterize their advance to this point as merely reconnaissance. Further south the Russians claim that the German at tempts to take Ossowetz are weaken ing, a majority of the big German guns having been withdrawn. ■ The strength of the latest Turkish advance to the Suez canal is so negli gible. according to dispatches reach ing London, that British observers find it hard to believe the forcing of a passage over this waterway has been seriously considered. The British theory is that the Turks, under German officers, are be ing led on these expeditions to keep the British troops on the alert, to pre vent withdrawal of any forces, and to harass the British contingents as much as possible while never really contemplating an Invasion of Egypt Itorlln reports Wednesday: "Ger man troops are pursuing the retreat ing Russians northward of Memel, East Prussia. They captured near Polangen 500 Russians and took three guns and three rapid firers Quantities of cattle, horses and goods were stolen by the Russians. Near I.augazargen. southwest of Taurog- gen and northeast of Martampool. Russian attacks were repulsed with heavy losses for the enemy. North west of Ostrolenka several Russian attacks failed. Here we captured 20 officers, more than 2,500 men and five machine guns. Eastward of Plock several charges of the enemy failed." London says Wednesday that of ficial announcement has been made in Petrograd, says Reuter's corre spondent. that the Germans since Sunday have removed all but four of their heavy batteries from before Os sowetz. The Russian statement adds. A couple of 4 2 centimeter howit zers were abandoned after the first battle, one of which was damaged by our fire. Shots from the howitzers failed to crush the masonry of the fortress. Superiority in artillery fire was distinctly on our aide. Not only was the German attack far from en dangering the Ossowetz forts, but the enemy failed to dislodge our infantry from its field works. In the Austrian attack on the 19th on the front in the vicinity of Ropitza the enemy opened a hurri cane fire with 12-inch howitzers un der cover of which 20 enemy battal ions, at 4 o’clock in the mornli g at tacked our forces which were in greatly inferior strength. Our infan try opened fire with extremely careful aim at the enemy who, supported by reserves, approached to within 20 paces of our trenches. His reserves were exhausted at 9 o’clock and the enemy withdrew, leaving the area covered with his killed and wound ed.” DESCRIBES BATTLE TURK VERSION OF SINKING OF ALLIED SHIPS. Effort! of French to I English Force Dardanelles Straits Readied Climax la Fierce Battle. Berlin reports Monday that the Constantinople correspondent of the Wolff bureau telegraphed Monday to Berlin description of the Ightlng at the Dardanelles on Thursday, March 18, in which the French battleship Mouvet and two British battleships were sent to the bottom: "The efforts of the! allies to force the straits of the Dardanelles reach ed their cllm&x in an artillery duel on Thursday, March 18, which lasted seven hours. The entire atmosphere around the Turkish forts were dark ened by clouds of smoke from ex ploding shells aud quantities of earth thrown into the air by the projectiles of the French and British warships "The earth trembled for miles around. The allies entered the straits at half past 11 in the morning. Four French and five British warships took part in the beginning. This engage ment reached its climax at half past one, when the fire of the allies was concentrated upon Fort Hamidleb and the adjacent fortified positions "The attack of modern marine ar tillery upon strong land forts pre seated an interesting as well as terrl fylng spectacle. At times the forts were completely enveloped in smoke At 2 o'clock the allies changed their tastics and concentrated their fire up on individual batteries, but it was evident that they found difficulty in getting the range. Many of their shells fell short, casting up pillars of water, or went over the forts to ex plode in the town. "At a quarter past three when the bombardment was at its hottest the French battleship Bouvet was seen to be sinking at the stern. A moment later her bows swung clear of tne water and she was going down "Roaring cheers from the Turkish garrisons and forts greeted this sight. Torpedo boats and other craft of the allies hurried to the rescue, but they were successful in saving only a few men. Resides having been struck oy a mine, the Bouvet was severely dam aged above the water line by ahcll fire. A mast also was shot away and hung overboard. It could be aesn that the Bouvet, when shq sank, was endeavoring to gain the mouth of the straits. This, however, was difficult, owing apparently to the fact that her machinery had been damaged. "Shortly after the sinking of the Bouvet, a British ship was struck on the deck squarely amidships and compelled to withdraw from the fight Then another British vessel was bad ly damaged and at a quarter before four was seen to retire, under a ter rific fire from tbe Turkish batteries This vessel ran In toward tbe shore "For a full hour the alllee tried to protect her with their guns, but It was apparent she was destined for deetructlon. Eight effective hits showed the hopciessnees of the situa tion for his vessel. She then with drew towards the mouth of the Dar danelles. which she reached in a few minutes under a hail of shells. The forts continued firing unMl the allies were out of range. "Thle was the first day when the warships attacking the Dardanelles kept within range of the Turkish guns for any considerable length of time. The result for them was ter rible. owing to the excellent marks manship from the Turkish batteries The allies fired on this day 2,000 shells without silencing one shore battery. The result has inspired the Turks with confidence and they are looking forward to further engage ments with calm assurance." tlNS DEFUSE ENDS f ■—.— i RUSSIANS GIVE PARTICULARS OF PRZEMY SL CAPTURE, ZEPPELINS DROP BOMBS *1 . - AIR RAIDERS ATTACK PARIS DEAD OF NIGHT. FOOD HAD GIVEN OUT Besides Deaths From Starvation Quarter of Garrison Suffered With Scurvy aud Typhoid—London Says Garrison Which Surrendered Num bered Nearly 120,000 Soldiers. v London reports: "The size of the garrison at Przemysl and the number of men who surrendered to the Rus sians greatly exceed all estlrhates. According to Petrograd dispatches the garrison originally consisted of 170,- 000 men, of whom 40,000 were kill ed. Nearly 120,000 surrendered when the fortress capitulated." Petrograd reports: “The com mandant at Przemysl, Gon. von Kus- manck, accepted our demands for an unconditional surrender of the garri son. Our troops who entered the fortress have taken possession of the fortifications and begun to prepare lists of the prisoners and to ascertain the amount of artillery and war ma terials captured.” The lack of official details from Przemysl is said to be due to a heavy snow storm, which broke down tele graph lines. It is reported, however, that nearly a quarter of the garrison had suffered with typhoid and survy. Although the rations were growing limited, none but a few higher offi cers, up to the end of January, knew that actual starvation was near. The real condition of affairs was learned by the troops when an avia tor, who was starting with messages for Vienna was shot down by the Russians and fell within the defend- ends* line. After that there was much grumbling In the garrison and almost a mutiny. Some of the Austrians slipped through tho lines at night and surrendered to the Russians. The investing Russian force in creased the intensity of their bom bardment and the strain on the de fenders began to tell more rapidly during February.

Two dirigibles reach ed Paris, although four started, and It is believed all returned safely to their base. They dropped bombs on tbe city of Paris and outlying towns and vil lages, injuring, so far as known, seven or eight persons, but doing no material damage. Guns were turned on the Zeppelins from house tops and forts and a flock of French aero planes started In pursuit. iBut the Zeppelins flew high and escaped in the haz e of the upper air. The German war office, referring to the raid in its official statement, says: "To render more impressive Our reply to the misdeeds of the French aviators in the open Alsace town of Schlettstadt heavy bombs were dropped by German airships on the fortress of Paris and the railroad junction at Compeigne." The Zeppelins traveled at a great height, estimated at considerably more than a mile.

The slide swept away a bunk house con taining ten men and several private houses in which were a number of women and children.

For weeks virtually the only suatenanee was obtained from email supplies of concentrated foodstuffs brought by aeroplanes A council of officers dally consider ed the eltuetlon. but not until they were convinced that there was no hope of help from an Austrian relief column did they decide to surrender "During tbe last days before the final sorties the garrison received in creased rations Each soldier was given biscuits to last five days, warm clothing and new boots. Officers were Instructed to explain to the troops that if they returned to the fortress an inglorious fate awaited them and consequently they must pierce the Russian front at any cost "An easterly direction was chosen for the sortie as tbe line of least resistance as well as because it led to the district where tbe Russians had large stores of arms and ammu nition. More than 20.000 men were ordered to participate in the sortie but several un'ts refused to move Only the 23rd Honved division and some parts of the 85th Landwehr and 4th Hussars took an active part. They were promptly and decisively defeat ed. ‘An official Austrian communica tion states that the garrison returned to Przemysl because it encountered overwhelming Russian forces. In this connection it shoqld be noted that the Russian forces near Przem ysl never were large and the great sortie was repulsed principally by territorial troops ana reserves. The total number of the captured garri son exceeded Russian expectations. “Following is the text of an order issued by Gen. Kusmanek to the gar rison of the fortress on March 18 the day before the sortie: “ ‘Soldiers: For half a year we children of almost all nationalities of the beloved fatherland have been incessantly opposing the enemy. With the help of God and your bravery, we have successfully defended the' fort ress against the enemy despite at tacks, privations and cold. " ‘You already merit the gratitude of your commander in chief and country and have won the admiration even of the enemy. In the beloved fatherland thousands of hearts beat for you and millions wait with bated breath for news from you. Heroes, I announce to you my .-st summons; The honor of your country demands it. I shall lead you to pierce with your points of steel the iron circle of the enemy. “ ‘On then. March on. Even fur ther, unsparing in your efforts until we rejoin the main army, which af ter a hard fight row nears us. We are on the eve of a great battle, for the endmy will be reluctant to aban don a prize he has coveted so long Know then, true defenders of Przem ysl, each must have but one thought. That is forward, ever forward’ Smash everything that bars your path. “ ‘Soldiers, we have shared our last provisions.
