Mrs. Bishops $4,000 Action Against
LAWYER Based on Letter.

George Gordon Battle, law partner OF
Senator O'Gorman, must pay Mrs. Abb
gail Hancock Bishop 81 damages for
libel. A jury in the Supreme Court

written by Battle to Charles S. Whit
man when he was District Attorney,
saying that Mrs. Bishop had been COM
mitted by Supreme Court justice for
overindulgence in liquor and that she
WAS of irrational mind. On the tr al
Of the suit Battle said such commit

MAYOR EXPLAINS
GUSHING OF BURR
Dismissed Because Work in
Death Avenue" Case Was
Futile. He Saws.

Mayor Mitchell said yesterday that
William =. Burr was removed as AS
sistant Corporation Counsel because
his work in the death Avenue track
removal case was Unsatisfactory and
wholly barren of results" The Mayors
statement was in answer to the charge
made by Mr.. Burr before the Thomp-
son legislative committee on Wednes-
day that he had lost his position be-
cause Of his activity in prosecuting the
New York Central Railroad i'll the
death Avenue" case. .
The Mayor said he hesitated to dignl-
fly the charge with an answer, but be-
cause of the Importance attached TO IL
a reply seemed necessary. He said he
had consistently worked for and urged
the elimination Of the Eleventh Ave-
nue. tracks, and that it was in this con-
nection that he had occasion to OBJ
serve the futile efforts of Mr.. Burr
to obtain practical results after some
years Of endeavor." The Mayors
statement was as follows:
II do not think the people Of this
city wish their executive TO indulge
| in controversy with a discharged and
disgruntled city employc, but the state
ments made by Mr.. Burr have been
given a pseudo Importance by the at
/ tention paid them BY the legislative
committee.
/ "As the records show, ! have con-
sistently and in season and out advo-
Gated, urged and worked for the elm
ination of the Eleventh Avenue tracks,
and / may, indeed, refer 10 myself as
the city official who has taken the
lsboring oar toward that end. IL was
I in this connection that | had occasion
TO observe the futile efforts Of Mr.. Burr
to obtain practical results after some
years of endeavor, so that when Mr.
Polk stated to me tina he regarded
Mr.. Burr as ineffective concurred in
his expressed desire to dispense with
Mr.. Burr's services.
"In point of fact, my dissatisfaction
with Mr.. Burr was not because he had
attacked the New York Central Rail
road Company, as he now has the eff
frontery to claim, but because his work
in the matter of procuring the removal
Of these tracks was unsatisfactory and
wholly barren of results.
"The history of my efforts TO procure
the removal of the Eleventh Avenue
tracks is so consistent and so com
pletely evidenced by public records that
/ MIR. Burr could not have failed TO know
my attitude upon the question, and 10
realize that his dismissal was not for
the reason he states to have been the
cause"

Allies Report They Have Given MOslem
Foes a Hard Struggle On
Peninsula.
take TWO Lines or TRENCHES
Turkish Losses Are Said To Be
Heavy-Captured 1000 Ottoman
Prisoners

London-The allies, in their often.
sive on the Gallipoli peninsula, cap
tured and held two lines of Turkish
trenches along a front of nearly thre!
miles. In Mrsopotamia the British
forces have received from the Turks
the surrender of Amara and taken
more than two thousand prisoners,
thirteen guns, a gunboat, barges and
steamers. The pursuit of the Turks
who were dispersed into the marshes
continues.
AS in all trench warfare, the allies
found their general advance on the
Gallipoli peninsula hindered through
the inability of part of their force to
penetrate wire entanglements which
artillery fire had not sufficiently de-
stroyed. This left other sections of
the force open to an enflading fire,
and, therefore, part of the ground
gained had to be given up. Some also
was lost when the Turks counter-at.
tackled.
A gain of 500 yards on a front of
three miles in this sort of fighting,
however, is considered satisfactory
by the British, particularly as it in
duced the Turks to counter-attack, in
which they suffered heavy losses.
