Conservative estimates place the
number Of prisoners taken north Of
Arras and In the Champagne districts
at $4,000 men and $50 officers. The
number Of cannon and machine guns
taken BY the allies 10 being increased
20 rapidly that the officers have not
time to enumerate them.
Although the allies have not been
able to break through the German
line. they are beating the Teutonic
forces back yard by yard while they
work nearer the important lines Of
communication by which the TeutOnic
forces In northern France are being
supplied with food and ammunition.
That the Germans have rushed re-
Inducements from the eastern theatre
has now been proved by the capture
OF German soldiers who admitted TAX
ing part in Won Hindenburg's cam
pai9n In Poland.
The two sones OF heaviest fighting
lie from Arras to Armentieres and In
the Champagne and Argonne regions
where the allies are pounding the two

Fred G. White. sitting as special
Judge in city court today, in instructing
the jury to return verdict OF not
guilty against Edward H. Harris,
managing editor of the Palladium. on a
charge OF having violated the building
code ordinance by placing q canvas
sign on the side of building, inter
preted the code as containing no pro-
vision pertaining to such signs as re-
ferred to In this affidavit"
Judge White pointed out that an or
dinance enacted in 1905 is; the only
one which particularly provides for
the regulation Of such signs as was ex-
hibited on North Ninth street last Sat
urday. sign attached to the side Of
the Light, Heat and Power company
building, and made of canvas, for the
purpose of notifying the public that We

Judge White held that the building
code refers particularly to the build.
ing, repairing and remodeling of struc-
lures and that the building inspector,
who derives his authority under the
code, has only the right to supervise
signs of permanent character, such
as billboards. Regulation of all other
kinds of signs is provided for in the
1905 ordinance, the enforcement of
which ordinance is the duty of the
fire chief and not the building inspec-
tor.
Judge Whites ruling was in COM
pliance with a motion entered yester-
day afternoon by Attorneys B. c. Rob-
bins and Will Keller that the court in
struct the jury to find In favor of the
defendant on the ground that City At
torney Paul Beckett had, without au-
thority, charged Mr.. Harris with a
violation OF the building code. After
being SO instructed the jury filed such
a verdict shortly after the hearing of
the case was resumed this morning.
After the jury returned its verdict,
Attorney Keller made the following
statement to it's members in behalf Of
MIR. Harris:

''WILD BILL" DONOVAN SUED
Wife Seeks Divorce From Manager of
the Yankees

Savannah, Ca, March 24.-William
f. Donovan, manager of the New York
Yankees, was served with notice here
yesterday that a suit for divorce had
been instituted against him at Reno,
New, by Mrs. Helen Stephens Donovan.
He did not receive the bill of complaint
simply the summons, and the charge on
which the divorce is asked is not yet
known to the Yankee manager. 1t is
understood, however, that desertion is
the charge.
Donovan and Miss Helen Stephens
were married in March, 1905, at Wind
sor, Ont, where the bride was a noted
beauty and very prominent in society.
Donovan at that time was member of
the pitching staff of the Detroit Amer
lean League team and was generally
regarded as a star.
Mrs. Donovan left Philadelphia in
September, 1918, and the New York
manager has never seen nor heard from
her since that time. She has been liv-
ing since that time with relatives at
Reno, which fact explains why the ac-
tion was brought at the noted divorce
city. Donovan is allowed forty days to
make appearance in answer to the sum
mons, but he announced yesterday that
he did not plan to contest the suit.

To the Sporting Editor:

To the Sporting Editor:
An article published in the Philadel
phia "Public Ledger of March 21st
states that the Harrisburg Independent
basketball team is in a fair way to
claim the basketball championship of
East Pennsylvania. A record of the
team is given, but no mention is made
of the game played at Lancaster De.
cember l.. when the Independents were
defeated by the Lancaster five by the
score of SO to 23. The Lancaster toss.
ers have also had great record this
season, having played 40 games, scor.
ing 1907 points against opponents ,
1853. They have defeated such teams
as Harrisburg Independents, Philadel-
phia Garnets, Maryland State Cham
pions, of Baltimore; Vincome, of Phila-
delphia (twice); Olivets, OF Reading
(twice); Camden, Eastern League; St.
Elizabeth, of American League, of Phil
adelphia; Hazleton Professionals, Har-
risburg P. R. R. Y M. c. A.; Senecas,
of Pottstown, and Jasper, Eastern
League. Jasper was defeated by 10
points.
When it comes to claiming the bas
ketball championship of East Pennsyl-
vania, we think Lancaster is right in
line and entitled to make claim FOR
the championship.
