BKRMX April 16. (Via London
April 17 2 p. m.) The war cor-
respondents ut the Austrian head
quarters have taken advantage of the
pause in the buttle In the Carpal titans
to summarize the results of the Kus-
siuu efforts to break through the
mountain barrier which have pro-
pressed a continuous giga'ntic batte
since the f ill of l'r.einysl.
Tho Russians succeeded in advanc
lng slightly in tho depression south

slderuhle area of the southern .slope of
the mountains.' They also impelled
tho Austrians to straighten out the

forward well into (lalleia towurd

wounded sick and prisoners in the
attempt to force a way throuph tho
pusses is ut least a half million. In
this connection ho says:
"The strength of Russia's proud
Carpathian army In broken without
coming any nearer the goal for which
tho Russian leaders cast everything
Into tho balance. Its losses are pro-
digious. Bodies iie In heiips before
the allied li'nes."
Ilerr Lennhoff says that he believes
the after effects of this struggle like
the winter battle In the Champagne
district will bo highly Important. Tho
Russian troops ho states are ex-
hausted and ho expresses tho opinion
that their offensive power probably is
seriously crippled.
The correspondent of tho Lokal
Anzelger describes tho Carpathian
operations as the greatest in history
lie says that fully 2.000000 men alto-
gether have been engaged in this con-
flict. The rmttle. he continues has

HOPE TO SETTLE
CHICAGO STRIKE
Governor Dunne Orders the
State Hoard of Arbitra-
tion to Assist.
CHICAGO April 10. Governor
Dunne ordered members of tho state
bourd of arbitration today to offer
their services to Chicago building
trades workmen and their employers
la the Interests of Industrial peace. A
call was Issued Immediately for a
meeting of the board Monday.
Tho strike order Issued by the
carpenters' district council which be-
qujiio effective ut the close of work
yesterday was followed today by a
fetultative measure in the form of a
lockout directed to 16000 carpenters.
The lockout debarred the union cur-
penters from work on 4000 buildings
which are being erected by 1200
contractors who are pledged and
bonded to maintain their stand until
every union In the structural trades
comes to terms. The terms lncludo
an antl-strlke agreement covering a
period of threo years. The union
leaders declared tonight that the
strike would not end until the de-
mands of the men for an Increase In
'wuges of five cents an hour hud been
granted.
It was estimated that 125000 wage
earners men and women were mado
jobless today for the lockout und
strlko tied up operations on $30000-
000 worth of work.
Employing; Intends predicted to-
day that the list of Idle will grow un-
less an agreement to arbitrate Is
reached.
Three building trades unions that
are confronted with the alternative of
'accepting tho employers' association'
terms or being locked out are: Bridge
and structural Iron workers cement
finishers and marble setters. Agree-
tnents with the employers have ben
delayed by Jurisdictional dispute be-
tween the unions themselves.
Reports of violence today caused
employers to take precautions to pro-
tect their non-union workmen.

pany Will Build on Six

School Opens.
E. S. Hutchinson & Co. a Tulsa
building firm was awarded the con-
tract to build all the new graded
schools of Tulsa ut a meeting of the
city schoul board In the office of the
superintendent last night. Hutchin-
son's bid wus $ti35h:!.ti7 a blanket
bid for the whole work. Ho stated
at the adjournment of the meeting
that he wus ready to start the work
and nothing except getting tho mu-
terial together would delay opera-
tions. Work on all tho new buildings
will begin at once and be carried on
at the sumo time.

Buck and J. S. Uradley all submitted
bids. Some on only one .building
some on two or three and four on the
whole work as well as separate bids
for each of the different sites. Hutch-
inson's bid was approximate'- 1 1.500
less than the sum of all the low bids
on each of the buildings -and about
two thousand dollars less than tho
sum of his own bids.
Harris nt llrst Objected.
He said that holding the whole con-
tract would make u big buyer out of
him enable him to get wholesale
prices on material and economize In
supervision and time. When the board
was ready to adjourn Into executive
session to consider the bids and the
bidders present were' requested to re-
pair to tho hall J. I. Harris objected
stating emphatically In a fluent but
short speech that the only fair way
was to open the bids in the presence
of all. He was quite as enthusiastic
30 minutes later however when he
heard the detailed offers of each bid-
der In saying' "I want to say to the
board that this was a fair and suuare
deal and the contract was awarded
to the. right bidder."
J. P. Curtain submitted plans and
specifications for the proposed repair
ing of the Sequoyah school which
were approved by the hoard. The
committee wus instructed to advertise
for bids on the work. The question
of purchasing a playground for the
school went over to a subsequent
meeting.

KOK.II OX l.MPIHKS.
LOS ANGELES. April El
Monte and Irwlndale suburban
baseball nines began hunting
here today for somebody who
would he umpire but found no

his first decision was shot twice In
the breast by a spectator who
had bet on El Monte. Hayes called

LESTER FOULED SO
ROWLAND IS WINNER
Green Boxer Gets Decision
Al'ter 11 Hounds of
Fihtin'.
ROWLAND WHIPPED
As Far As Mixing Is Con-
cerned; House" Was
Crowded.
Frank Rowland won the decision
over Jock Lester in the eleventh
round on a foul in a scheduled 15-
round bout ut the 1'.. M. A. C. last
night. The blow was stru k fairly
in the groin laying the big fellow
from Kansas on the floor for fivo
minutes obviously it was an unin-
tentional foul.
The bout was an Interesting ex-
periment. Rowland a green inex-
perienced boxer was pitied against
an old-timer vvho has met cham-
pions In the heavyweight division.
The green man was whipped the re-
sult everybody expected. Vet there
was thai In Rowland's fighting which
attracted the attention and keen In-
terest of ring critics.
His reach and physique was the
first thing which attracted attention.
During the first five rounds he used
a straight left jab to the chin which
landed like a ton of brick. Lester's
guard time and again was swept away
like a stray leaf before a whirlwind.
Rowland was last many said faster
much faster than .Morris for the
greater number of spectators at last
night's bout had seen the Sapulpa en-
gineer in action und the comparison
was convenient.
There was no cleverness In his
wotk. Hut that he is willing nnd
tough was vividly demonstrated. Hut
that he knows little was also made
quite patent. After the sixth he
closed up like a clam quit fighting
and began to hang on. Lester gave
him a good drubbing during the next
four rounds until tho foul was de-
clared by Referee Fouder. He was
not yellow for he took his punish-
ment like a good one but he' was
green for ho did not retaliate. There
was no attempt on his part to fight
in the clinches.
Lester's fighting needs no descrip-
tion. Ho worked on Rowland's kid-
neys and stomach. But few of his
blows to the face nnd chin took ef-
fect. On several occasions the Kan-
san cleverly dodged left uppercuts
from the Seattle man.
Preliminaries consisted of a hattle
royal between World and Democrat
newsies two four-round goes between
Rov Smith and Jerry Hughes nnd
Kid Fat and Kid Campbell respec-
tively and a seml-windup between
Clarence Rlagg and Tobe Roach. Tho
lntter wns stopped because Roach
waded Into his opponent with more
ferocity than tho greener boy could
stand.
Standing room was at a premium
at last night's smoker.
