Women Compared with Clocks.

women Compared WITH CLOCKS.
Women are like clocks. Some OF
them are fairly reliable with but little
constant care, and it is not always the
high-priced, jeweled ones that are
most dependable. They may have
pretty hands, pretty faces and pretty
movements, but they are liable to get
out of order, and when they do they
are all very hard to regulate.-Orego

EARNEST PLEA MADE

American Delegates at Lau-
same Tell Turks They

Lausanne. - America made another
appeal in behalf of the Near East
refugees, when the delegates repre-
senting the United States at the Near
East peace conference presented an
earnest plea that in the general am
nesty arrangements to be negotiated
with Turkey suitable provision be
made for Armenian and other refu-
gees, who fed from Turkey and may
wish to return to their homes. The
Americans asked that Turkey engage
to restore to the refugees their prop
erty.
The American statement said: 1--WE
believe there will be no approval in
public opinion Of the omission from
this peace of some declaration by Tur-
key, preferably voluntary declara-
ton, which will do justice to those
now suffering deprivation of home
and fortune"
What action the entente nations
will take on the plea of Armenia for a
national home in Turkey will proba.
bly, be decided shortly.
No progress was made by the sub
commission on minorities, before
which the American appeal was pre-
sented, when general questions of am
nesty were under discussion. The ju-
rists to whom the amnesty clause of
the proposed treaty was submitted,
reported they were unable to agree,
as both the Turks and Creeks had in
terjected too many controversial DO.

The deadlock in the conference
with differences over capitulations
and oil territory threatening a pos
sible rupture, continued unbroken
pending the arrival of fresh instruc-
tions to the Turkish delegation from
Angora.

of Whole Party Frustrated.

New York.-Mrs. Irene Schoelkopf.
wife of { wealthy Buffalo broker. was
ch!oroformed and robbed of $15O,O00
in jewels and money, after a party in
an apartment on Fifty second street,
just off Fifth avenue, police revealed.
Frank Carman, her host, is in Gus
tody. He is said to have admitted
sub-leasing the apartment where Mrs
Schoelkopf. after being chloroformed.
was beaten, bound, gagged and rob-
bed.
That the robbery had taken place
was not disclosed by the police until
Charles p. Hugo Schoelkopf, husband
of the victim. arrived here to aid au-
thorties in experimenting the perpe-
traitors
j. s. Hirsh, an insurance broker, to
whom Schoelkopf referred all inqui-
ries concerning the robbery, said that
Mrs. Schoelkopf had recognized one
Of her three acsailants as a man with
whom she played cards during the
party in Carmans apartment
Mrs. Schoelkopf left the party first,
saying she would wait in the lobby
uOW WhSldlIS lOI lue OlHeTS TO escort
her to her hotel
AS she descended the staircase, be-
tween the fifth and fourth floors, she
saw man standing in the hall before
a partly opened door, Hirsh relates.
The man sprang at her and pressed a
handkerchief saturated with chloro-
form to her nose.
Two men rushed through the partly
opened door and carried Mrs Schoei-
kopf into an apartment She recalled
being beaten in the face, bound with
rope and gagged. while two men strip
ped off her jewels as a third covered
her with a pistol.
The trio fed the apartment after
throwing a blanket over their victim.
She quickly freed herself and return
ed to Carman's apartment
In searching the apartment where
the robbery occurred, the police re-
ported they found a large quantity of
chloroform and a bundle of rope cut
into handy lengths. This is said to
have led them to the belief that it
was the intention of the robbers to
hold up the entire party and that the
plan was frustrated by the departure
of Mrs Schoelkopf in advance of the
others.

18 MISSING IN
BRIDGE CRASH
Span Gives Way Under the
Weight of Curious Crowd
Watching Log lam
SEVERAL DEAD AND INJURED
Accident Due To Breaking Of One Of
the Cables - City Plunged Into
Darkness After Breakdown
At Sub-Station.

Kelso, Wash. - Eighteen persons
were missing following the collapse
of late day rush hour.
Besides the IS missing, a number
of whom it is feared were killed,
many others are known to have been
injured
The bridge was crowded with spec
tators watching a log jam as we'll as
carrying it's usual late day traffic and
it is estimated that from 100 to $50
persons and 10 or more motor vehic-
les were precipitated into the Cowlitz
river, swollen by recent rains, by the
crash.
Many who were on the ends of the
bridge escaped by clambering up it's
hanging portions, but two hours after
the collapse less than 40 persons had
been taken from the water. Four of
these were injured seriously.
Kelso was in tumult after the
crash. Those apprehensive of safety
OF relatives or friends rushed madly
from hospital to hospital and back to
the bank Of the river.
Adding to the general confusion
the city's lights went out soon after
the accident, due to a breakdown in
sub-station.
The bridge always was crowded,
and especially so at the hour of the
accident. Water mains supplying
West Kelso were carried out by the
crash and that settlement was with
out water.
The bridge was built in 1917, and
was timber structure of the suspen.
sion type. The accident was due to
the breaking of one of the cables.
