Baltimore Police Try
to Unravel Mystery

Baltimore, April 2S.-The local po-
lice face mystery in the case of Miss
Ida Robins, 22 years old. stenog-
rapher who was assaulted with a ham,
mer last Monday afternoon in the
office of her employer, Philip Linde-
meyer, dealer in printers ink, in
South Charles street.
Miss Robins, with her skull frac-
tured in three places, is in a hospital
not expected to recover. Before be-
coming unconscious she said she had
been attacked by negro who de-
manded money. Later developments
lead the police to believe that white
man or a white woman may have been
her assailant. Why a woman should
figure in the case was not explained.

Passenger trainmen and station at,

will join with railway mail clerks in
protest against cutting the number
of mail crews. At the Pennsylvania
railroad station to-day, platform men
were protesting loudly because of the
extra work.
Mail clerks claim they are unable to
fhave the pouches ready for transfer
at terminal stations. This makes 1t
necessary for platform men to unload
land load without any help. 1t is said
THAT trains are delayed from five to

Standing at the monument and fac
ing in the direction of Washington
you will notice a deep and twisting
ravine through the wooded hills on the
eastern side of the river. Bush creek,
a considerable stream and subject to
sudden rises, finds its way through that
ravine and the steam railroad, after
crossing the Monocacy on a four-track
trestle winds on through the vale of
Bush creek toward Baltimore. The
railroad trestle and the bridge on
which the pike crosses the Monocacy
played their part in the battle. The
Union center lay across the pike on the
east side Of the river. The Confederate
center engaged 1t. A Confederate force
was sent across the river mile or SO
below and coming up on the Union
side took the Union trenches in the
rear. Another Confederate force had
been sent across the railroad trestle
to the Union side of the river and came
down on the Union right. Then the
Confederate center crossed the river
at the bridge.

the 14th New Jersey, which no doubt

This monument stands on a little rise
in the floor of the valley. All around
are green fields. The green is espe-
super-abundant rains. There are great
tracts of grass land and large fields Of
corn. The air is heavy with the sweet
odor of the corn tassels. The valley is
minor ridges, low hills and broad slop-
ing wales. 1t is limestone country
and there are many old quarries. all
overgrown with vines, and new quar-
from which thin white clouds arise.
Farmhouses and farm groups are nu-
merous. Some of the houses are paint
ed white. with red roofs and some of
them are built of stone. There are
red-painted barns with a great number
Of small white windows. Some of the
barns are built of stone and many
farms are bounded by stone fences.
To the westward is the Catoctin
range of mountains, misty blue and
the summit marked by a succession of
rounded domes or knobs following each
other northerly and southerly as far
as a man can see. Perhaps you can
name many Of these knobs as High
Knob, Ridge Hill and a score of others
and between most of these knobs are
roads and some of the gaps between
the knobs are famous for the troop
movements that have taken place
through them.

went into effect.
"How does the service stand now, as
compared with it's position when the
bureau was created in 1907 Is the
question that was put to Commissioner
Putnam, recently.
Let me give you some figures" said
he, reaching into his desk for a memo
randum.
.'The total number of aids to naviga-
ton in 1910 was 11.713: at the end OF
our fifth year they number 14.532. an
increase of 25 per cent.
Particularly marked is the increase
In the number of gas-lighted buoys
which are very valuable to shippine
and which are quite economical. In
1910 there were only 22o OF these; To-
day we have 419.
Great progress also has been made
in the installation of oil vapor lights
and the conversion of old lights to
the use of this method of illumina-
ton. The oil vapor lamp was intro
duced by the French in 1898. In this
lamp kerosene oil is heated and then
vaporized, and is burned mixed with
air under a mantle, which is made IN
candescent This gives a much more
with a smaller consumption of oil: We
had eighty Of those in 1910, and now
we have 2S5.
"Of equal benefit to navigation has
been the great change we have made
in the character of lights. The fixed
light. of course, has value, but where
1t might be confused with lights or
habitations its value Is diminished.
Hence, where necessary, we are Trying
