LURE ENEMIES INTO TRAP
BY HORRIBLE SACRIFICE
Tribes Permit Women and Children
to Be Slain as Part of Ven
geance Plot.

LONDON. May 22.-Alan Ostler. special
correspondent of the Daily Express
sends the following from Bombay:
have just received from Alden confirma-
ton of a severe defeat inflicted on the
raiders of the Mullah of Somaliland by
the Habr Yunis and Ogaden tribes.
Before leaving Alden many Somalis
seemed incredible. and for that reason !
did not cable it, The confirma ton
which l have now received places it be-
yond doubt The story is one of the
most remarkable in warfare
The mullah sent a large force to the
Haud plateau to seize the camels of the
Habr Yunis. Word of this came to the
ears of the tribe. who. to in.iict a telling
defeat on their relentless enemy, laid a
trap. which will send shudder through
out the world. They sacrificed their
women and children to destroy the raid
erS.
First they sent emissaries to the
Ogaden tribel to enlist their help Then
they left their women and children and
camels unprotected to lure into a sense
of security the followers of the mullah.
They allowed the raiders to massacre
the women and children, and then they
ambushed them while they were driving
off the camels.
The friendlies claim that they wiped
out the mullah's force. killing 1000 OF
them. That figure is probably exaS-
gerated, but 1t is not to be doubted that
the mullah has sustained a serious re-
verse.

BASE BALL POOLS THRIVE,
INVESTIGATORS FIND
sn1 K The Capitals Best Shirt Sale
Whitman's Aids Disclose Methods
Whereby Premiums" Are
Awarded.

NEW YORK. May ga thriving bust
ness in New York and other eastern cities
is said to have been disclosed in the in
restisation of alleged base ball pools by
assistants and detectives in the Office OF
District Attorney Charles S. Whitman.
That such an investigation was in prog
ress became known today when some of
the methods of the so-called base bail
news information bureaus were made
public.
The procedure. according to Assistant
District Attorney Colnon. is for the pros
pective subscriber to pay % cents for
sealed envelope containing a score card
with blank boxes for every team in each
of five leagues-forty teams in all-and for
every day in the week except Sunday.
On the back of the score card are the
rules of the subscription
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-05-28
Premiums Are Quoted.

Each score card has five teams punched
as its particular combination for pre-
miums for the largest number of runs
scored by any combination in the week.
Premiums are also quoted for the lowest
number of runs The real interest. it was
pointed out, is not in the week-old reports
of base bail, nor in the hour-by-hour news
of the standing of teams which the bu-
reaus furnish subscribers, but in the pre-
miums'' to the winners.
1t was said at the post office that the
inspectors have known of the base ball
pools for some time. but have taken no
action because the bureaus pay no atten-
ton to mail communications, all the cards
being sold by agents.
Prosecution OF the owners of the agen-
cies ii was said today. probably would be
instituted as a result of the investiga-
ton.

against President Wilson's declara-

of this nation forbids discussion of

President Wilson's only statement
