French S report published last night, the
British commander states that portions

five miles, making the British quit their
trenches to escape asphyxiation.
General French s report follows:
"Some of the positions on our line
east of Yypres were lost yesterday dur

JURY OF TWELVE WOMEN
Denver Judge So Pleased With Verdict
He Will Repeat Experiment

Der ;sr, Col, May 26.-For the first
time in the history of Colorado a jury
composed entirely of women sat in a
criminal case here. 1t was impanelled
by Judge Ben B. Lindsey, in the Juve-
nile Court, to assist him in arriving at
just punishment in the case of seven
boys who were accused of mistreating
a 16.year-old girl. So successfully did
the jurors discharge their duty that in
the future Judge Lindsey will call
women in all similar cases to act in an
advisory capacity.
The jury recommended that the boys
be placed on probation and compelled
to report to the Court.
Among the prominent women on the
jury was Mrs. Allan Lander, principal
of the Smedley School, DIR. Pearl Dorr,
medical inspector of the public schools,
and Mrs. Marie Ford, North Denver
woman and friend of the girl who pre-.
ferred the charges.

BLOODHOUNDS SEEK SLAYER
Mrs. Edna Bausman. of Reading, Who
Was Murdered, Buried

Reading, Pa, May 26.-While State
police, city and county detectives and
men with bloodhounds were pursuing
relentless search in the surrounding
hills for the husband who is alleged to
have murdered her by cutting her
throat last Thursday morning, the flu
neral of Mrs. Edna Bausman, 30 years
old, took place yesterday from the
home of her mother short distance
from the scene of the tragedy.
Several thousand persons came from
miles around to attend the funeral and
view the body. The police yesterday
explored 200-foot cave in the noun
tains, believing that Charles Bausman
might be found there, but their search
was without result. 1t is expected that
the county authorities will offer re-
ward to-day.
Some believe that Bausman may be
hiding in Harrisburg, Pa, where he has
relatives and the police of that city
have been advised to keep sharp look
out for the man.
