NORTH OF LYS
French Official Report An
nounces Failure to Gain by
Either Side in Fierce As
saults From Dixmude to
, Arras.
The opposing armies arc gripped in
a deadlock between Dixmude and the
Lys, the official French report an
nounces this afternoon.
Below the Lys, around Arras,
bloody assaults by the Germans, aid
ed by heavy guns, have failed to gain
ground.
Further south and to the west, re
pulses of the enemy and "minor vic
tories arc reported from Paris.
Berlin, in an official report, denies
that the Crown Prince or any other
members of the imperial family is
wounded or in ill health. General ad
vances are announced in the Franco
Belgian sphere.
Dutch reports assert the Kaiser's
forces arc rapidly being withdrawn
from Brussels and Antwerp.
No further news has been heard of
the flagship Good Hope and the
cruisers Glasgow and Otranto, dam
aged off the Chilian coSfe-, and all arc
believed lost.
Ten Turkish and German vessels,
coaling the Turkish fleet in the Black
Sea, were sunk by Russian warships,
iccording to Pctrograd official state
ments.
Thirty-six French vessels, eight
Russian and one Belgian steamship
Were seized at Constantinople by the
Turks, according to Berlin. A Brit
ish steamship was sunk at Aivali,
Asia Minor.
Turkish troops destroyed an entire
battalion of Cossacks in Caucasia, ac
cording to Constantinople reports,
and repulsed the Russian advance.
But, according to Pctrograd, the
Turkish forces, surprised by the sud
den advance of the Czar's troops,
have fled in rout into Armenia.
' It is said 90,000 Turks are on the
Caucasian border, ready to meet the
Russians.
French and British warships con
tinue a long-range bombardment of
Dardanelles forts.
Movement on Berlin is again
hinted at in the Pctrograd official
statements. Capture of Mlawa. the
German base in northern Poland, and
occupation of Lyck, across the East
Prussian border, has forced the Ger
mans toward their second line of de
fenses, and Pctrograd believes they
soon will fall back to a line based
on the important strongholds of
Grauuenz, I horn- and Fosen, which
protect the German capital. The
Czar's forces already are in force in
several places on German soil, and
the Kaiser's armies are reported in
precipitate flight before the invaders.
Berlin insists the East Prussian de
fense i not endangered and that
strong forces are ready to withstand

ACCUSED OF ILLEGAL VOTING
Three Men Held on Charges of Fraud
at Tuesday's Election.
Three men accused of false registration,
perjury and illegal voting were held un
der J WO ball each this morning for fur
ther hearing by Magistrate William F.
Beaton. They are Edward J. Patterson,
James Crelghton and Lester Johnson, a
Negro, whose registration address was
given as 3633 Market street: tho uddresses
given by the other men were Identical,
each asserting that he lived at 3220 Mar
ket street.
The arrests are the first made upon the
recommendation of the Committee of
Seventy, who Investigated the cases and
assert thatfce registrations were false.
Patterson's claim to resldenoe at-2220 Mar
ket street was the best founded, as he Is
a bartender in the saloon at that ad
dress. Magistrate Beaton, however, held
that the man's home could not be Identi
fied with his place of business unless he
and his family occupied the building.

ADMIRAL CRADOCK
LOST IN FLAGSHIP,
CHILIANS-BELIEVE
Wireless Call From Glasgow
Last Heard of Scattered
British Squadron, None of
Which Reach Port.
VALPARAISO, Nov. fi
There Is llttlo hope remaining In Val
paraiso that Hear Admiral Sir Christo
pher Cradock, his flagship the Good IIopo
nnd the 000 men of her crew survived
tho first great naval engagement of the
war, when, on Sunday evening, n German
fleet sank the Monmouth and scattered
the other units of the British cruiser
squadron.
Whether the Glasgow and the Otranto,
which escaped destruction, survived the
damage .suffered Is not known. The
whereabouts of tho German cruisers
Leipzig and Itromon also remains In
doubt.
Contrary to' first reports, th6 Good
IIopo nnd Glasgow did not roach Coronet
or Talcahuano, nor did the Otranto find
a Chilian port. The German fleet, with
tho exception of the Leipzig nnd the
Bremen, after putting in here, left again.
If they had any word of tho Leipzig and
the Bremen they did not make It know n.
Tho tiansport Prlnz Eltel unchoied In
the bay last night.
A wireless cry from the British cruiser
Glasgow Intercepted by the German
victors was the last word received from
Bear Admiral Cradock's squadron, follow
ing the engagement off the Chilian coast
Sunday.
The Germans saw the Monmouth sink
and heard an explosion on board tho
Good Hopo that they believe sent the
crippled flagship to the bottom.
All that night tho German cruiser
Numberg'senrchcd tho seas for the Good
Hope unsuccessfully. They picked Up a
radiogram directed to the flagship by
tho Glasgow. There waa no reply. -
At the moment that the Gennan guns
were trnlned the Good Ilops'was seen
coming at i full speed, and through good
seamanship she managed to Join thn
other British ships. The British had
come about and the two squadrons
steamed southward in parallel lines, the
Germans being closer to tho coast. Grad
ually tho two lines came nearer to each
other and the Scharnhorst and the Gnel
senau simultaneously let go their 12 8-Inch
guns, which they concentrated on the
Good Hope. The firing continued for
several minutes without damage. The
German shots fell short, and the Good
Hope had such n roll that she could not
reply. The small cruisers were far out
of range.
Slowly the vessels drew nenier, and
when the two units were but CO00 yawls
npait the Good Hope tired her two S-lnch
guns. She was still unable to uso her
eight 6-Inch guns, which on the gun deck
were so near the water line that as the
vessel rolled they were almost awash.
A tirrlble broadside from the Scharn
horst and the Gnclsenau crippled tho Brit
ish flagship and her engines stopped.
Tho Monmouth, recognizing the distress
of her companion, made a dash to cover
the Good Hope, but by that time the
distance separating the two squadrons
had been reduced to WOO yards, and the
Germans were able to bring all their
ship into action and to use all the guns
of the nve vessels.

Gencrnl Cnrranza has been given until
November 10 to comply with tho decision
of tho peace conference that he must re
tire from the provisional presidency to
make way for General Eulallo Gutierrez.
The conference has sent the First Chief

It Is believed hero that Carranza will

hostilities Ih expected within 10 days.
General Gutierrez has sent a message
to General Caudldo Aguilar, commander
of the Constitutionalist troops near Vera
Cruz, In which he says:
"General Villa has resigned definitely
and withdrawn from the command of the
Division of the North. The Zapatista
delegation assures us that General
Zapata will do likewise. Therefore, all
thn conditions Imposed by Senor Car
ranza have been complied with."
General Gutierrez signed the message
as "Provisional President of the Re
public." Carranza's Force Exceeds Villa's
PUEHLA, Mex., Nov. 6.-GeneraI Car
ranza Is uslns this city as temporary
headquarters for himself and Cabinet.
According to Isadore Fabela. Minister
of Foreign Affairs, assurance of sup
port has been received by Carranza from
20 other States, Indicating that the latter
has a numerical advantage of EO.000 sol
diers over Villa.
Generals A'illa and Zapata, the oppos

former's Include Durango, Chihuahua,
Sonera, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes and
part of SlnaUia, while Zapata holds the
State of Morelos.
Generals Haj. Vlllareal, Agulrre and

changed his Government to this place.
Americans a,nd Mexicans Fight
EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 6. News of a fight
between Americans and Mexicans on
Mexican soil was received here today and
ah investigation was immediately ordered
by the United States authorities. Seven
Mexicans were killed and wounded in the
encounter.
According to reports that have reached
here the Mexicans were members of a
gang of cattle thieves that crossed the
border into the Big Bend country and
stole horses belonging to American ranch
men. A posse oCrnerican oowbojrs pur
sued the thieves and overtook them a
few miles south of the border. The Mexi
cans were whipped in a night fight
The Americans recovered their horses
and brought them back safely to the
American side. It is said none of the
eowbovs was wounded.
The impression here Is that the breach j
between tne carranza ana tne villa
Zapata faallon of the Constitutionalist
party cannot now 6a bridged.

to Mayor Blankenburg In his private of

several members of his cabinet, newspaper
men and a clergyman.
Mrs. Thomas, at the head of a delega
tion of four other women, gained aeoess
to the Mayor's private office through a
request made seme days ago for an in
terview. Bhe gave the Mayor no inkling
of what she had prepared to say to him
and her statement, couched in vehement
language, came as a distinct surprise.
, After it had been read the Mayor an
swered Mrs. Thomas with a statement
equally direct and forceful. He charac
terized the statement of Mrs- Thomas as
Insulting and offensive, and declared that
It would, do store harm to the suffrage
