ZEPPELINS VISIT
ENGLAND; l DYING
Woman Hurt When Bomb Hits Hotel.
Five German Airships Are
Sighted at Sea.
(By JOHN C. FOSTER)

(By JOHN C. FOSTER)
London, May 17.-One death probably
will result from the latest German air
raid early today-the fifteenth to be
made over the east coast of Ireland At
Ramsgate, sixty-seven miles east OF
London. where between fifteen and
twenty bombs were dropped. the Bull
and George Hotel was partly destroyed
by a missile which fell upon the roof.
All the windows in the building were
shattered and a woman was injured A
man also was hurt. Three other persons
were hit by flying debris.
It was reported from Deal and Mar
gate that Zeppelins had been seen.
1t was at first believed that only one
Zeppelin had taken part in the aerial
foray and that 1t had been made for
scouting purposes, but as reports con-
tinued to arrive here from various cities
the belief was conceived that two or
more airships had participated.
A dispatch to the Star from~Deal said
that an incoming steamship reported
having seen five Zeppelins OF North
Foreland. According to this telegram.
twenty incendiary bombs were dropped
at Deal. Bombs were also dropped upon
a fishing feet of Ramsgate and three
boats were damaged.

INDIANS STILL RUN AMUCK.

Sonora.

Despite the reassuring advices re-
ceived Sunday from Admiral Howard,
who is in command Of the Pacific
Fleet intelligence reached the State
Department yesterday indicating that
the Yaqui Indians are still running
amuck in the state of Sonora, Mexico.
The department is advised by Off
Gals that until a permanent garrison
is established in the Yaqui Valley there
will be danger of the destruction OF
American property in those sections OF
Sonora where the Indians operate.
The American consul at Nogales has
advised the department that the va
quis, who were attacking the Ameri-
cans concentrated at Yaquf Pueblo.
which is about twenty miles from the
west coast, have withdrawn and are
now meriacing a small party OF Mexi-
can soldiers at Bacum. A troop OF zoo
soldiers. commanded by Gen. Became
gra. has been detailed to escort the
Americans at Yaqui Pueblo to . point
on the coast where they can get trans
portation to the United States.
The commander of the cruiser R4-
leigh. which is stationed at Tabari Bay.
has been directed to be on the lookout
for the Americans escorted by Col. Bo-
canegra. This probably Will remove
the necessity. which appeared to be ur-
gent last week. Of sending q force OF
marines into the interior.

POLl'S.
"Green StOckinEs."


Green Stockings" offered by the YER
satile Poll Players this week, Is a spright-
ly comedy of character written by A. E.
w. Mason, a well-known British author,
and produced in this country a few sea-
sons ago with Margaret Anglin in the
title role. That is. the heroine doesn't
actually wear them In the play, but they
are what she is obliged by a pleasant
English custom to wear at the weddings
Of all of her younger sisters being SYM
bolic of her supposedly forlorn and en-
vious state of mind. Celia Faraday,
goaded to the point Of rashness by the
patronizing kindness OF her numerous
sisters, welded and betrothed, invents a
lover Of her own and thereby finds hap
piness. becoming the center Of interest
and attraction in her family circle. Her
letter to the imaginary Col. Smith in
Somaliland summons a real one. who. of
course, finds that the imaginative spinster
IL the lady Of his dreams.
Miss Maud Gilbert is wholly unable to
make herself look neglected and unat-
tractive as the text Of the opening scene
would seem to require. but In all other
respects her performance Is an artistic
success. The part offers many rich op-
portunities for a clever Coincidence and
In taking thorough advantage of them
Miss Gilbert adds to the high esteem in

One of the many typically British fea

humorous appeal that the author sue

being delicately and lovingly nursed for
all the fun that could conceivably at
tach to 1t. The humor Is rich and
genuine. though some Of the good lines

handles his difficult comedy situations
with discretion and skill. The men of
the company have a number of good
characters and offer an equal number
of varieties of English accent with
surprising va1or and success, especially
those of Louis Haines and Russell
Fillmore. whose return to the COM
pany was warmly celebrated by the
applause of the audience on his first
appearance.
Miss Helen Tracy, as Aunt Ida, gives
a delightfully."- amusing portrayal and
has an opportunity to show her re-
markable ability in dealing with comic
situations. The other ladies have pleas
ant roles as the several married and
soon be married sisters in the Far
aday family.

Vigorous protest against the proposed
Seventeenth street car line extension OF
the Cauital Traction Company was
voiced yesterday by William p. Emo,
prominent traffic expert and author OF
the District traffic regulations. He says
there is a real need for better transporta
ton facilities north and south. but de-
clares the way to get them is not to in
crease the number of car lines, but to
Increase the efficiency of existing ones.
He suggests that a jitney bus line would
be preferable to the proposed extension.
1T is a bad practice he said, Ito put
double car tracks in a street not wide
enough for two lines Of vehicles between
car and curb. For this purpose a street
width Of forty-eight feet Is required.
Seventeenth street is only 'thirty-two
feet wide.
Cars Could BE Doubled.
There is plenty Of room, however. on
the car tracks Of Fourteenth street and
Connecticut avenue for at least double
the number Of cars used. 1t Is practical
to run cars with thirty-seconds headway,
and IL they were run with one-minute
Roadway ample accommodation probably
would be furnished.
"A really good bus line on Sixteenth
street Is very desirable. It should be
supplied with an ample number Of mod
ern vehicles with seats on top like those
in New York. The trees should be trim
med so there would be sixteen feet head
room over the highways. It Is doubtful
whether a line can be operated with
profit for q scent fare during slack
hours, and / therefore suggest that the
rate be made cents nat for two hours
in the morning and two hours in the
afternoon when people are going to and
