negligent in her care of the
daughter.
Stayed Out Nights
When Frances wanted to go to
a dance, there was no objection.
If Frances stayed out all night,
few questions were asked.
There was a general laxness In
the mothers management of the
daughter, Robson stated.
He blamed Mrs. Hodge for her
daughters downfall, and the
mother faced a charge in court
yesterday of contributing to the
delinquency of a minor.
Attorney A. c. Allen, employed
by Mrs. Hodge. argued loudly for
his clients freedom.

BERLIN, May 25.-With
the bloodiest fighting In all
history, the right jaw Of the
giant German nut cracker
has advanced three miles
during the past 30 hours.
1t is asserted that the French
sacrificed an entire army corps
in their effort to retain Dead
mans Hill, then evacuated the
stronghold.
The Germans and French
jointly hold Hill 304. II is es-
timated that $4,000 men died
fighting I'm the dark underground
caverns in the ruins of Douau-
mont with no resultant change in
the battle line.
The Germans positively deny
the French claims to the capture
Of Douaumont, declaring that a
French detachment entering the
fort was entirely obliterated.
Since Sunday neither side
has been able to reach its
dead and wounded lying be-
tween the lines In the vicin.
ity of DOuaumOnt.
The Germans claim slight ad-
vances in the ravines on either
side of Hill 304. The left jaw
of the Teuton' machine entirely
reconquered positions which the
French took.
The German center which took
Deadman's Hill has not occupied
the abandoned works because
French artillery is still playing
on the southern ridges.
PARIS, May 25.-The French
advanced last night east of
Cumieres in grenade attack.
The Germans attacking strong
ly took French trench north OF
Haudremont quarries.
The infantry struggles at
Douaumont and Deadman's Hill
have slackened. The French did
not attempt to advance further
than the Cumieres gains because
they would be exposed to flank
ing attack.

this morning destroyed the
entire pattern shops and
storage houses of the Puget
Sound Iron n steel Works,
WAS placed TO-DAY on the
burner of the st. Paul 4 Ia
coma Co. by John Il. Roberts,
president of the destroyed
works.
He estimated the actual loss at
100000, although he declared
that the great store of patterns,
representing the accumulation of
2S years, could not be replaced
for less than a million dollars.
II was the largest fire which
has occurred on the tideflats in
recent years.
Three large frame buildings in
which the patterns were made
and stored, were completely de-
stroyed. Five minutes after the
alarm was given, shortly after 10
O'Clock, the three buildings were
a mass of flames.
Nenaces Lumber Yards.
The most the fire department
could do when 1t arrived on the
scene was to confine the flames
to the pattern works and keep
them from spreading to the lum-
Der yards of the st. Paul & Ia
coma Lumber Co.
A sudden change of wind might
have caused the destruction of
the entire lumber plant.
Burning fiercely, the three dry
frame structures went up like a
furnace. Almost as quickly as 1t
started, the fire burned itself out
and was under control before Ii
o'clock.
Had Happened Before.
Sparks from the lumber COM
pany's burner have threatened
our plant nearly every day." de-
clared President Roberts.
1--WE have to be constantly on
the lookout for danger. Some
times in one day we have had TO
put out as many as six smill fires
which have been caused Ey sparks
from the burner"
He would not say whether he
will take any action against the
st. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co.
for damages.
Insured at 10 Per Cent.
The plant was insured for only
10 per cent Of the estimated
value.
Two huge tanks OF creosote,
part of the new pile-creosoting
plant of the st. Paul mill, were
within SO feet of the pattern
shop.
At the start of the fire, 1t SEEM
ed certain that the creosote plant
was doomed, and a small panic
ensued when 1t was reported that
the tanks we're in danger of ex-
ploding.
Heroic employees of the mill
company hauled fire hose to the
top of the tanks, and kept them
cool with running water through
out the fire.
Seven companies OF fire appar-
atus responded to the alarm.
There were six lines of private
hose from the mill and iron COM
panies, besides % lines Of hose
from fire engines and the fire
boat.
Water Supt. Paul Savidge
said today that he had issued
an order this morning cut
ting off water from the tide
flats district, in order to
make needed repairs, but
had Cancelled the order an
hour before the fire, decid-
ing to do the work at night.
Had the water shut-off Or

would have been utterly

Next Convention of Base
ballers to BE Held at
Louisville, Ky.

New Orleans, Nov. 17.--Louisville,
KY, was selected yesterday for the
next annual convention OF the Ma
tional Association of Professional
Baseball leagues meeting here. There
was no election of officers this year.
Much important business was dis
posed of during the session, including
the controversy regarding a position
for minor league representation in the
national baseball commission. After
extended discussion a plan was adopt
ed creating a board of five members
to be entirely separate from the ma
tional commission to decide ali mat
ters on appeal from the minor league
organizations and all matters in con-
troversy between the major and minor
leagues,
The membership of the new board
would consist of the president and
secretary of the minors association;
one member each from the National
and American leagues and fifth
who shall in no way be connected
with baseball' to be elected by the four
other members. The fifth or neutral"
member would act as chairman.
This plan was adopted after brief
discussion and the chairman upon
authority from the convention will ap-
point a committee to take up the mat
ter with the National and American
leagues at their annual meeting in
December with power to carry out the
plan.
Eliminate Draft Rule.

Coast league, American association.
and International league members of
class AA the convention voted to re-
quest the National and American
leagues to eliminate that part of the

men affecting the drafting of players
by major league clubs from class AA
teams.
On application by the Southern as
socation and others the convention
adopted a special dispensation to al
low every minor league to fix it's own
salary and player limit. provided such
individual action did not conflict with
the national agreement in force be-
tween major and minor leagues.
The convention voted down a propo-
sition to limit class B clubs and lower
classes to 13 players, six of whom
must never have played on clubs OF
higher classification.

repurchase agreement between minor
and major leagues were not pre-

RESTA
WINNER
Also Sets New Record in
Vanderbilt Cup Race at
Santa Monica, Cal.

Santa Monica, Cal, Nov. 17.-Dario
Resta won the eleventh Vanderbilt cup
race yesterday in the record time OF
3:22:4S 2-5, an average speed of $500
miles an hour, more than eleven miles
faster than the previous Vanderbilt
record set by Ralph De Palma on the
same track two years ago.
Cooper was second. His time was
3:30:40 2-5, fore than four miles an
hour slower. William Weightman was
third. His time was 3:42:00 2-5.
Roads was fourth. His time was
3:54:45 1-5. Vail, Paterson and Pullen
were tagged. Bolden skidded out in
the thirty-first lap.
1t was race unmarried by injury
or death to contestants.
Previous Record Broken.
The three leaders broke the previous
worlds road race record made on the
same course by Teddy Tetzlaff in
1912, with an average of 1872 miles
an hour. This was not. however. a
Vanderbilt cup race. Ralph De Palma,
who averaged 1880 miles per hour
over the Santa Monica course in 1914,
held the Vanderbilt cup speed record
up to yesterday. The three who finish
ed next in order to Resta were Carl
Cooper, second, 3:3O:4O.4; William
Weightman, third, 3:42:00.4; Clyde
Roads. fourth, 3:54:45.4.
Vail and Patterson, the only other
survivors of the terrific strain on cars,
were tagged while running.
Nineteen Drivers Start.
Nineteen drivers started at noon be-
fore ali audience of thousands banked
high on temporary bleachers facing
the ocean on the straightaway and
wove their way between two deep
hedges of standing room" spectators
that lined both sides of the course.
Mechanical trouble caused most OF
the Withdrawals, Boldon alone suffer-
ing from the dangerous turns. He
skidded and was out on the thirty first
lap.
1t was Resta's race soon after the
start He, Aitken and Cooper fought
for honors from the start, while Will
liam Weightman, Virginia sportsman,
little reckoned with before the race,
came home third.
Resta Takes The Lead.
Aitken took the lead in the first lap
with Cooper and Resta pursuing. They
fought 1t out with Resta steadily over
coming the handicap OF his later start
and pushing to the front in the four
teenth lap with Aitken and Cooper
trailing.
Resta widened his lead lap after lap
and following Aitken's withdrawal aft
er the twentieth lap with broken
crank shaft. he maintained steady
pace.
Driving Not Spectacular.
The Italians driving was not
spectacular. He never varied on his
turns taking them with the same
confidence he displayed on the
straightaways. Several drivers brought
the spectators to their feet as they
rounded the grandstand stretch in a
cloud Of dust following bad skids.
Pullen Disqualified.
Eddie Pullen was disqualified on
his thirtieth lap for taking on gasoline
near the Soldiers home. Pullen was
in fourth place at the time of his dis
qualification.
Resta, in addition to acquiring addi-
tional laurels added $4,000 to his for
tune. Cooper received $4,000; Weight
man $1,000, and Roads $500.
