CASE BATTLING TO
BALTIMORE POLICE
Do Not Believe Story of Girl with
Fractured Skull That She Was
Assaulted by Negro.

BALTIMORE, Nd, April 2S.-The local
police are trying to solve the mystery
in the case of Miss Ida Robbins, -, a
stenographer, who was assaulted with a
hammer Monday afternoon in the office of
her employer, Philip Lindemeyer. Miss
Robbins, with her skull fractured in three
places, is not expected to recover.
Before becoming unconscious she said
she had been attacked by a negro, who
demanded money. Developments lead the
authorities to believe that white man or
a white woman may have made the assault.

Turkey Admits the Landing of French
and British Forces, But Claims They
Have Been Unable to Make Any

LONDON, April 2S, 12.1O p. m.-Eng-
land is again breathing freely today in the
general belief that the German offensive
near Ypres has been stopped and the coun-
try IS finding time to turn its attention to
the Dardanelles, where the allied army has
landed on both shores
Paris reports that the French section
landed on the Asiatic shore and is making
steady progress despite the stubborn re-
sistanee of the Turks These forces are
entrenched and supported by artillery and
it is conceded that they viii prove serious
obstacle to an advance by land against the
forts
The British section as successfully made
a base on the shore Of the European side
of the straits.
Turkey admits that these landings have
been made, but at the same time declares
the allies have been unable to make anv
progress toward the interior
The latest French announcement declares
the allies are making continued progress
between Apres and Dixmude, where the
capture Of prisoners, machine guns and
war supplies is claimed
Following the reported failure of the
German attack at Les Esparges the French
apparently have resumed the offensive in
that region.
The. most significant happening in the
diplomatic situation is the recall to Rome
of the Italian ambassadors in London,
Paris, Berlin and Vienna for a conference
with the minister Of foreign affairs
The Austrian negotiations are said to
have made progress in Rome and Austria is
credited with making new seeessions to
Italy.
italian observers are beginning to ex-
press the opinion that the point still un-
settled between Austria and Italy do not
make it impossible to reach an agreement.

.|MP PORTANT WAR PART TAKEN
 BY MINERS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, May 19-According to trade union officials more than 13O- 900 miners have been recruited in the British army since the beginning of the war. Most of these have been enrolled as engineers and sappers. thus providing trained men for this work, which is proving of the high, est importance in the trench warfare on the western front.
 The capture of Hill 60 near Ypres. is a case in point, where the spade played vital part in the operations.
 Tunneling and mine laying of a swift and certain nature was essen sential to the operations and the sap pers employed were skilled miners from Wales and the North of England,
 Accustomed to working under ground. with a complete mastery of the pick and prop, and an instinctive understanding of all the difficulties to be encountered in the way of cayeins and falls of earth, these skilled min CTS were able to drive saps and tun- nels with a speed and accuracy not to be attained in the case of ordinary infantrymen, although every infan- tryman is given a thorough course of instruction in spade work during his training.
 Part of the miners usefulness. es. pecially in night work between the lines, lies in his almost uncanny abil- ity to see clearly in what to ordinary persons is almost absolute darkness. This special ability comes, of course. from long working in the half lights of the underground world. It is of the greatest value, not only in sap- ping and tunneling, but also in the work of listening patroP' in night at lacks and in reconnaissances.

GINGER INTO BALL
 GAMES
(By Associated Press)


 NEW YORK, May 19-The efforts being made by both the major leagues and the Federal league to speed up the daily games, is already beginning to show results. Complaints from the cities represented in all three cir cults first called the attention of the league executives to the fans obiec- tions to long drawn out contests, and there was immediate action on the part of the baseball authorities.
 President Ban Johnson, of the Amer ical league, notified the junior organ ization club managers that less time must be consumed in playing games, and that several time-killing prac- tiCes must be discontinued. Presi- dent Gilmore. of the Federals, took a similar stand. and intimated that he might offer prizes in order to shorten the average playing session. In the National league the matter was also given careful study and several plans considered to improve conditions.
 A study of the playing time figures of the three leagues discloses some interesting details. Using the April contests as a basis, it is shown that the average of the American league for from ten to thirteen contests Is two hours five and one-half minutes. The Federal league clubs under similar conditions required two hours two and one-quarter minutes to play nine innings, while the National league made the best showing with an aver age of one hour ffty-two and one half minutes.
 Of the individual clubs of the Amer led the organization with an average of one hour and fifty-one minutes. Boston and New York followed with averages of five and seven minutes slower respectively. St. Louis con sumed the most time, the Browns re quiring two hours nineteen and one half minutes, with Chicago but one minute faster. The Philadelphia Ma tionals were the hustlers of the Tener circuit, averaging one hour forty four minutes for ten games, with the New York Giants but one-half a min ute slower. Chicago required two hours eleven and onehalf minutes and Pittsburg also crossed the two hour mark. In the Federal league the Pittsburg club showed the best time, averaging but one hour fifty minutes for thirteen games. Buffalo showed the other extreme, requiring two hours twentyseven minutes for twelve games.

GOLD OUTPUT OF FAIRBANKS |S
 S3,550,000

This years production of placer gold in Fairbanks, Hot Springs and Tenderfoot districts, will be about $3,15O,000, according to a carefully prepared estimate. This is about the same as the amount taken out last year, and therefore it is not ex- pected that there will be a falling off in production this year.
 The amount of gold expected to be taken out by the quartz mines in the same districts is estimated at s4O0 ,OOO. bringing the estimate for the total production up to $3,55O,000.
 According to this estimate, total of s5OO,O0O has been taken out in the winter dumps. This is a little less than was taken out the previous win ter. The yield of the Hot Springs district is estimated at $6OO,OOO, while that of the Tenderfoot, Democrat, Bonnifield, Kantishna and Tolovana localities is estimated at s15O,OOO.
 The estimate is considered encour- aging inasmuch as last fall there was promised lull in placer mining in that district. The total, however, may far exceed the estimate, pro- vided the weather conditions prove satisfactory.
 Slucing started earlier this year than last on account of the early thawing of the snow, but the recent cold nights have put a stop to it. It was reported from Chatanika that the sluicing had come to a stop there on account of the shortage of water.
 The fact that the snow went away slowly and that it did not run off in floods, is looked upon as an assur- surance of good water supply for much of the season.
 The new Tolovana camp will hardly make showing this season in the output of gold, as there are few plants there, and it will not be possible to transport more until good roads are provided, or snow falls to allow sleigh ing.
 If the Tolovana camp comes up to the present expectations, it's output next year will probably overshadow by far that of the other interior camps. It will take about a year to put the camp on good producing basis.
 From present indications there will be considerable quartz development this season and in the future the quartz yield will probably be an inn portant feature in the gold produc. ton of the interior.

What They Say About Us
Women in the Public Eye AS Viewe1 b,
Editorial Writers of the Newspapers.

She is reported as believing that
Women's colleges fail largely in pre-
pairing their graduates for life Ind
success. She summed u her con-
clusions in these words:
mo girl should consider herself
educated unless she has fitted her
self for some definite employment.
Seventy of the ninety girls who go
out from Radcliffe this year have no
definite idea what they are going
to do the rest Of their lives.
COLLEGE courses often fail in the
very thing they are supposed to
teach-a knowledge of how to live
every woman win be called on some
time in her life to keeI house or
assist in housekeeping. Yet here We
are after four years knowing no
more about the care of a home than
when we entered the college"
The Evening Sun has no intention
of indorsing these views, nor yet
their reverse. 1t occurs to US that
the famous thesis that every gem
eral statement is untrue, Including
this one" might we'll be cited apropos
of these rerSnTks. Mems opinions
Yergent and diverse on the subject.
The discussion Is q quarter of a
century old at least; but since every
public question is seen in a different
light as the years 90 on, an express
sion Of contemporary thought on this
subject from our correspondents
could not fail to be interesting. And
II this is not a public question, we
don't know what is.
To be sure. the war has 30 alb
sorbed the emotion and attention of
most thinking persons that other
matters OF interest have been
dropned as trivial. But to be able
to keep more than one subject in

matter for the well-balanced and in
telligent Individual. To think of one
thing all the time and of nothing
else Is the way to get a fixed idea
which is unhealthful and dangerous
both for nations and individuals.
There Is much to be said touching
Miss Bridgman's thesis that no girl
sho Should ID BE- Be called fn educated" until
ployment. And 1t must be admitted
that Miss Bridgman's point about
the ignorance Of many women touch
Ing homemaking and housekeeping
seems well taken. Ardent proponents
OF woman suffrage sometimes say:
Women lack experience in many de-
tails Of life; give them time and
they will solve them triumphantly.
Haven't women had as much time
to become highly proficient in their
special business in life-as 1t has
come to them in the past-as men
have had to become masters OF their
own business? Haven't women had
all the time there is? And here
comes Miss Bridgman. after all
these years; asserting that not even
teach them how to run one OF the
most important concerns In life, to
succeed In the care and management
of n home.
How about 1t. friends and fellow
countrymen-ladies and gentlemen,
ters? What do you think OF the
value of the higher education in
making our sisters and daughters,
the most precious possessions OF
America, better. wiser, more worth
their valuation and more competent
to carry on the torch in companion
ship with the American men?
