Most Daring Attack on Eng =
land Since The Days of
Paul Jones.

London, Dec. 18.-The raid Of
German warships on the northeast
coast of England early Wednesday
and their escape in fog after having
bombarded Scarborough, HartlepooI
and Whitby. where seventy.five'per--
sons were killed and $50 wounded and
considerable damage was done to-
property, completely overshadowss
land operations.
Belief is general that the Germans
had the able assistance of spies
The remarkable secrecy with which
the raid was executed is shown by
the fact that not single incoming
vessel at any east coast port saw the
German ships prior to their suddsaA
appearance.
The nearest parallel to Wednes =
days visit is found in the activities
of John Paul Jones, terror of Eng =
fish shipping. who menaced English
coast towns in 1873.
A majority of the victims at Hart
lepool were women and children.
Fifteen schoolboys were killed by a
single shell, only one boy in the
group escaping. Ten persons were
killed by the collapse of building
in which they had taken shelter.
One shell damaged a building five
miles from shore.
Land operations, however, as on
! preceding days, have been of the
utmost importance. The British r
French and Belgian troops have con-
tinued their offensive in the west and
according to the French official re-
ports, have made further slight
progress. This was not accomplished,
however, without foot by foot fight
ing.
| Along the coast of Flanders, where
the allies are trying to push their
lines forward from Newport, they
have the assistance of the British
fleet which violently bombarded
! Westende, one of the many little
coast towns which have suffered
greatly since the commencement Of
the war. This attack, Berlin says,
was without effect and the allies
were repulsed.
Further inland the French also.
claim to have gained ground, al
though in less marked degree than
on previous days. In the Argonne
there apparently has been a hull. but
both in the Woevre and Alsace, the
two other regions where severe
fighting has been in progress for
some time, the Germans appear Us
have delivered counter attacks.
In Poland preparations are being
made for new battle or series Of
battles. The Russians, according to
former member of the cabinet at
Petrograd, have decided despite the
disappointment it must cause u
withdraw their left wing at least an0
form a new line back in their own
territory. This will relieve Cracows
but will compel the Austro. German
forces to fight farther away from
the strategic railways by which they
have moved troops quickly to desired
, points.
. This plan doubtless will affect the
rest of the battle front also except
in the extreme north of Poland,
where the German column has been
! driven back by superior Russian
force.
A Rome dispatch credits the Aus.
trians with having admitted the loss
of 100000 men in their expeditions
; against Servia and their subsequent
defeat by the army of that little
/ nation.

MAYOR FIGHTS
AGAINST ERECTION
OF PHONE POLES
Roosevelt Borough Head Wants
conduits Used-Company
Seeks Injunction.

Application was made to Vice
Chancellor Howell this morning for
an injunction restraining Mayor
Joseph A. Hermann and the other
officers of the Borough of Roosevelt
interfering with worlSmen of the New
York Telephone Company erecting
pies on Woodbridge avenue, that bor-
'ough.
During the storm that prevailed
last week eleven of the poles of the
company were blown down and a
great number of wires were put out
of business. When they sought to
restore the poles they were confront
ed by the commissioner of streets and
highways of Roosevelt, who ordere
them to cease their work He had
policemen with him to enforce the
order.
Appearing before Vice Chancellor
Howell this morning, Edward A. Day,
solicitor for the telephone company,
said that this action on the part of
the authorities of Roosevelt had Grip
pied an important branch of the SER
vice. The poles that went down bear
trunk lines reaching as far as Wash
ington. The poles had been erected
in 1886 under a franchise, and at a
time when the consent of municipali- o.
ties in that section Of the State and
property owners were not needed. The
municipality had no jurisdiction over
them, he cOntended.
Former Senator George S. Silzer ap-
peared for the Borough of Roosevelt.
He read affidavits showing that as
long ago as 1908 the authorities OF
the borough had provided conduits
for the laying of the wires under
ground. That the poles were a mem
ace to life and traffic was shown
when they fell during the storm. Tho
conduits in question, he said, were
twelve in number, and the telephone
company now had four of them in
use. They extend to the Staten Island
Sound, where they meet the cables of
the company. He contended that il
was unreasonable for the company to
refuse to make use of them.
Mr.. Day replied that the conduits
could not carry all of the cables and
If the Vice-Chancellor refused to
grant the injunction the service of the
company would be permanently Grip
pied. He added that the company
had an absolute right to string its
wires on the poles under the statute
of 1877, permitting telegraph compan-
les to lay wires along their routes.
The ce-Chancellor directed both
lawyers to submit all of their papers
before tomorrow morning, when he
will decide the matter.

ELIZABETH, March 13-Testifying
at the trial of Mrs, Anna L, Pollard,
here, today, Mrs Thomas M. Jones,
"a sister-in-law Of the complaining
witness, on whom the defense had
tried to shift the blame for the
''poison-pen" missives, declared that
she never had Mrs. Pollard's type
writer in her home as the defendant
yesterday testified. The witnesses
husband was also called and corroh-
Grated the denial.
Both of the Joneses were called at
the opening of the trial today. when
rebutta of the defense was started
1t Is expected that "a number of other
witnesses will also be called to refute
the statement made by the defendant
yesterday afternoon while teStifying
in her own behalf At that time she
made complete and sweeping denial
of being the author of the ''poison-
pen" missives.
Her testimony, however, developed
what is looked upon as a weak link
in the chain of evidence tending to
exonerate her of the charge. The
expert called in her defense testified
that the complained of letters could
not have been written on the same
typewriter as those offered in evi-
dence which Mrs. Pollard admitted
writing. The latter were perfectly
proper letters. In her testimony She
practically swept aside the experts
testimony in her case, in the ems
deaVor to show that Mrs. Thomas
Jones wrote the letters and had pos
session of the typewriter in her own
home as long period as two weeks.
State Gains a Point.
Prosecutor Stein brought out on
ross-examination that the machine
was at the Pollard home at the time
the letter in the indictment was
mailed, and that the friendly relation
between the defendant and Mrs.

INSURANCE COS.
QUIT KENTUCKY
Firemen's and American, Both
of This City, Order Ii
cense Cancelled.

The Firemen's and the American
Fire Insurance companies, both of
this city, are two Of nearly fifty fire
insurance companies that have re-
fused fatty to write any more new
business through the entire State of
Kentucky. Both Newark companies
have ordered cancelled their Ken
lucky licenses and have notified the
Kentucky State Rating Board of their
intentions to cease operations. The
objection is the enforcement of the
new rating law. which extends powers
and increases the finances of the Ken
tucky State Board.
Those companies that have not can
celled their licenses but nave ceased
writing new business have been no
tilted by M. c. Clay, State insurance
commissioner of kentucky, TO ap-
pear before the state BOARD next
Monday to show cause why their Ii
censes should not he revoked. These
companies include the Royal, of Eng
land; the Westchester, of New York:
the Pennsylvania, of Philadelphia,
and others.
The Kentucky Actuarial Bureau
has received orders from twenty-one
additional companies canceling the
authority of the bureau to act for
them, making total Of forty-eight
companies which so far have taken
action. 1t is understood that ma
jority of these companies also have
instructed their agents throughout
Kentucky that no more risks may
be accepted.
At the offices of both local COM
psries graft was limited at as the
reason for the Objectionable legisla-
ton in Kentucky. Philemon l..
Hoadley, president of the American
Insurance Company, which concern
deals directly from it's office In this
city with Kentucky business. said:
"This company simply will not sub
NIT to such legislation as has been
enacted against the insurance COM
panies doing business in Kentucky.
The Legislation is very unfair. OF
course, we know the reason. Every
one does. The Kentucky politicians
are to blame. We have withdrawn
fro mthe State, as / believe other
part of the fire insurance companies
was taken by each company indi-
vidually." he said
Daniel II. Dunham, president of
the Firemen's Insurance Company,
made "a similar statement. The COM
pany's business in Kentucky, Mr..
Dunham said, was handled from
