CHANAK. Kalessl (Dardanelles).
March 13. (Correspondence of the As
sociated Press.) The first phase of the
efforts of the British and French to
force the Dardanelles demonstrated
that this task Is far more difficult than
was supposed at first, according to
Turkish opinion.
While it is true that the allies have
succeeded in silencing the forts at Kum
Kale and Sidd el Bahr, and two posi
tions of minor importance near there,
it would be fallacious for the allies to
assume that this had lessened ma
terially the proportions of their task.
The positions at Kum Kale and Sidd
el Bahr were reduced easily because it
was possible to take them under en
filade fire. In addition, a slight ad
vantage in range made it possible for
the British to throw so great a weight
of metal into these forts tnat aimosi
from the first there was little chance
that the Turks could hold them.
Landing Tarty Routed.
But the allies have gained little by
-this thus far. Today Turkish infantry
holds tha ground about the silenced
batteries. An attempt by the allies on
. Uroh 4 to occupy Kum Kale and Sidd
tl Bahr ended in a rout of the landing?
partr.
The losses of the Turks were: At
pldrt el Bahr. 4 killed. 14 wounded:
at Kum Kale. 2 killed. II wounded.
Two other attempts to land troops met
I.with no greater success.
Meanwhile the expenditure of am-
' munition bv the French and British
has been prodigious. The Associated
' Press correspondent has been able to
i ascertain that it has led to small re
sults. March 6-7 the allies threw into
' Fort Medjidleh and other works about
' Kilirt Bahr no less than 350 shells.
! most of them of the largest caliber,
without doing any serious damage.
' Only ono man was slightly hurt,
inoo Sheila Kill Oae Turk.
Shells thrown in the direction of
; Fort Hamidlch. on the Asiatic shore
near this town, proved equally harm-
' less. As the result of about 300 heavy
shells and more than 700 lighter proJ
ectilcs thrown Into Fort Dardanus dur-
ing the last two weeks one man has
been killed and one severely wounded.
The Associated Press correspondent
estimates that during his stay in the
fire xone the British and French fired
more than 4500 shells. On the whole
the tire of the British especially has
, been well directed.
r Whatever success the British and
French have attained - so far is at-
! trlbuted here to th- longer range of
their heavy guns.
The Turkish gunners have made
some good scores, obliging four allied
vessels to undergo extensive repairs.
In the main the fire of the allies has
teen rather scattered and unmethodi
cal. For this the batteries of the
Turks arc responsible. Each day the
British vessels discover that the pieces
have shifted from the point where it
: was thought they had been silenced
he previous day.
i this manner the allies are ob
liged to begin each day anew labor
'they thought eliminated. Hardly, how
ever, has the bittery position been dis
covered and the first shells fired In
Its direction than the pieces are taken
to other parts of thp hills, to repeat
from there their annoying work.
' WHITE PINE MILL RESUMES

-Orders Arc Enough to Keep 150 Men

BAKER. Or.. April 12. (Special.)
" "Because of largo orders, the Baker
'.-'White Pine Company started its mill
at Whit Tino today with about 1G0
men. The resumption wa due to lum
ber orders which Manager Frank
.Gardlnter believes will keep the plant
-Tunning ail Summer at least. The
- .South Baker mill also is running full
capacity and will continue to- do so in
definitely. The company recently purchased
more than 1.000,000 feet of timber, and
with the large number of orders from
tho Fast it expecta to be able to keep
its 250 men busy all Summer, and prob
ably longer.
"The outlook is good." said Mr.
Gardinter. "We have all the orders we
can handle and expect to keep every
man busy for some time."
JUDGE LIIMDSEY AGAIN WINS
Colorado Bills to Eliminate Juvenile
' Court Arc Vetoed.
DENVER. Colo- Aiaril 12. Two bills
designed to transfer the authority of
the Denver Juvenilo Court to the Den
ver District Court wera vetoed by
Governor George A. Carlson today.
"Ever since this Juvenile Court was
created. Judge Limlsey has presided
over It," said the Governor, explain
ing his veto. "Ho has been elected
and re-elected Judge of that court by
the people of Denver. If the people
of Denver want him to be Judge of
this court they should have him. If
.they don't want him they should elect
-ome other person to this office."
To transfer the business of the Ju
venile Court to tho District Court
would cause congestion there, he said,
since tha Legislature had not provided
for the appointment of an additional
Judge.

the bank alleges that Mr. Williams has
violated the fourth and fifth amend
ments tn the Constitution prohibiting
unreasonable searches and seizures and
forcing anyone to be a witness against
himself.
In, February nast, according to the
bill, Mr. Williams wrote to the bank
asking if its officers had destroyed
any of its records. On March 30, it fur
ther sets forth, he demanded a com
plete history of loans of the Riggs bank
to its present officers, and gave notice
that for failure to comply with a like
request made on January 22 it was
assessed a penalty of $5000.
The next day a formal demand for
payment of this fine made by two bank
examiners was refused. On April 1 a
quarterly installment of the interest on
the $1, 000.000 of 2 per cent held by
the Biggs in the Controller's custody
to secure its 'circulation came due.
The Controller, the complaint sets
forth, "wrongfully and unlawfully"
ordered the Treasurer of the United
States to withhold the payment of this
interest.
In this connection the bill alleged
that Mr. McAdoo "had usurped the
power of the Treasurer.
WRONG GONVIGT FREED
CLliBlCAL ERROR IS DISCOVERED
AT OTTAWA PENITENTIARY.
jlii Who Should Have Received Pardon
Will Be Liberated and Other May
Be Extradited.
OTTAWA. Ont., April 12. Through a
clerical error the authorities of the
penitentiary at Kingston, Ont.. released
from custody Thomas M. Riley, serving
a term for manslaughter, on a pardon
intended for Thomas Riley, also serving
time for manslaughter, it was an
nounced here tonight. The mistake was
discovered when a clergyman at Lon
don, Ont., received a letter from the
freed Riley, now living in Everton, Mo.,
thanking him for his efforts to secure
the pardon.
The surprised clergyman had made
no efforts to secure Riley s release, ana
started an Inquiry which revealed tnat
the pardon was for Thomas Riley, serv
ing a seven-year term for killing his
wife at Hamilton, Ont., and was granted
on the ground of, Riley's ill-healtB. In
stead it freed Thomas Riley, serving a
15-year term for killing a bartender in
London. Ont.
It was announced that the govern
ment intends to rectify the mistake by
releasing Thomas Riley and at the same
time make an effort to extradite Thomas
M. Riley and compel him to serve out
his time. Some doubt , is expressed
among Canadian lawyers as to whether
the freed Riley could be returned to
prison, even if he were still in Canada.
LONDON PRESS ANGERED
STATESMEN BLAMED FOR FAIUHE
TO MEET COMPETITION.
Editor Mourns Albert later view by De-
clarlacr "It Never Occurred to Me
King Would See Reporter.1
LOXDOM. March 29. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) Some of
the London papers are complaining be
cause American newspaper men are ac
complishing things the British repre
sentatives of the profession nave oeen
unable to do and are blaming English
states-men in consequence.
Two of the instances most frequently
cited, are Sir Edward Grey's reply to
the Associated Press interview with
Von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German
Chancellor, and Frederick Palmer's in
terview with General Sir John French."
The American newspapermen in Lon
don have been so constantly thwarted
by the censorship that they are not
inclined to regard their work with any
special pride, but the respective meth
ods of the American and British jour
nalists may be inferred by the observa
tions of a London editor, who said.
when expressing disappointment De-
cause his paper did .not carry the In
terview with King Albert of Belgium
that an Associated Tress reporter ob
tained last December, "it never oc
curred to me that a King would see a
reporter."
