Drowned in the Stream.
Albany Ga. Sept. 21.-Dr. Jessie X.
Floyd, a well-known young dentist Of
this city, was drowned in the Flint
river about o'clock this afternoon
while bathing. He had recently

ber of persons to accompany him,
but no one was able TO go, and he
finally ventured in alone.
There small boys saw him drown,
and none Of them was large enough
to render his assistance. He had
swan but a short distance when his
strength failed and he began sinking.
He made frantic efforts 10 reach the
bank. but finally disappeared when he

PETER CROWNED
KING OF SERvIA
ON THRONE OF ALEXANDER
WHO FELL WITH HIS QUEEN BE-
FORE THE REGICIDEs.

With Much POmp and Ceremony the
KarageOrgevitch Received the
Royal Insignia and ResnIia.
Thrents Against His Life Were
Not Even Followed by Hostile
Attempts-I<inE Conferred DecOra-
tiOns Upon the Foreign Ministers.
Belgrade, Servia, Sept. 21.-Peter
Karag ageorgevitch was crowned King of
Servia to-day
There were no hostile demonstrations
and no attempt to carry out the num-
erous threats against the new King S
life. In the solemn ritual of the Greek
church and in the elaborate state pro-
cession which preceded and followed
the coronation. the tragedy of Servia' s
previous ruler found no echo. Amid the
thunder of the saluting guns from the
royal palace and the garrison, King
Alexander's murder was at least out
wardly forgotten.
Here and in every garrison town of
Servia the dawn of day was marked
by a salute of twenty-one guns, and
before the sun was well up King Peter,
on horseback, rode out from the palace.
The brilliant procession then started
for the Cathedral through the troop
lined streets. Behind the soldiers were
packed dense crowds, who in spite of
the rainy weather, stood patiently
awaiting to see the King Beside King
Peter rode his two sons. George and
Alexander.
The cathedral was reached shortly
after o'clock. There the representa-
tives of the foreign powers, the cabi-
net ministers and others had already
been waiting for some time, were gath
cred. AS King Peter entered, the
metropolitan consecrated him and more
artillery salutes were fired.
The King took up his position under
a canopy and the metropolitan, assist
ed by many bishops and other clergy,
commenced the solemn service, the
choir singing THANK Thee, Our Lord.
| After the prayer the premier and other
| ministers banded the crown and rega-
| liza to King Peter. He kissed the crown,
| placed it on his head and robed him
| self in the royal garments. An artillery
salute of 1O1 guns then announced to
| lHe people OI btlBTdue lull mig GtleT
! had been crowned.
! It was nearly three hours before the
| service was concluded and the ritual
! Of the church complied with. King
/ Peter afterwards signed the coronation
! document, which was witnessed by the
metropolitan, the premier, the cabinet
ministers and the other heads Of state.
| Wearing the crown on his head and
! fully robed, the King left the cathe-
dral, remounted his horse and rode
through the crowded streets to the pal
ace. There, in the grand festal hall
King Peter received the congratula-
tions of the diplomatic corps and 9TH
ers, ascended the royal throne and
once more took the sceptre and orb IN
his hands. The ceremony of render
ing homage was then performed.
King Peter offered the American
minister. Mr.. Jackson. the Karageorge
star. which he presented to all the
ministers as souvenir of the corona
tion. AS Mr.. jackson was unable Ia
accept the star his majesty will pre-
sent him with his photograph and auto
| graph.

NO DECISIVE NEWS
FROM SCENE OF WAR.

st. Petersburg Chnhng Under Lack
of Information.
st. Petersburg, Sept %, 1920 a. M
There is further delay in the report
of decisive news from the front. The
situation at Port Arthur remains a
blank. though it is felt that important
developments may be even now oc-
curing there.
The movements in the north are still
Of a tentative and preparatory charac-
ter on both sides, which have not yet
crystalized into a definite clash of
forces at any one point. A resump-
ton of the Japanese advance is now
expected to occur any day. 1t is the
third week since the fighting at Lao
Yang and the Japanese have had time
to transport reinforcements from Yin
Kow and bring up sufficient men to
the front to replace their losses, but
1t is not improbable that several days
will intervene before the armies come
to close quarters. The interval is be-
ing devoted on both sides to feeling
out the strength and disposition of the
opposing forces.
The Japanese will probably attempt
to capture the passes of the Da noun
tain range, running half way between
the Hun and Taitse rivers The pos
session of these passes is important
for the Japanese, as it will not only
enable them to march northward but
also screen the movements of their
troops from the prying gaze of Rus
sian scouts.
1t Is fully appreciated here that the
Japanese must try for the possession
of Mukden, as otherwise, it will be
difficult for them to to provide the
army with winter quarters Lao
Yang does not afford sufficient ac-
commodations, although many houses
there escaped destruction in the re-
cent battle. Movable huts are quite
unsuitable for the housing of Japan
ese, owing to the severity Of the clim-
ate. The average winter tempera-
ture there is 40 degrees below zero
and the cold is intensified by continual
winds and an almost entire absence
Of snow. In spite Of this, however,
the campaign probably will continue
during the winter, If the Japanese sue
ceed i'm getting into Mukden. In this
contingency Gen. Kuropatkin for
various reasons will not be likely to
allow the Japanese to remain in un-
disturbed possession of this point
which is important, not only from a
strategic, but a political, point of
view.

KUR0PATKIN SAYS
THERE'S NO CHANGE.

st. Petersburg. Sept. 21. 2:30 p. m.--
Gen. Kuropatkin, telegraphing under
yesterdays date, declares that the
situation at the front is unchanged
He describes an outpost fight Tuesday
at Da Pass, half way between Ben
tsiaputse and Snitinmin.
A Japanese force. consisting of four
companies, marched up from Dziant-
chan twenty-thre miles northeast of
Saimatse, and tried to capture the pass
and turn the Russian left flank, but
the Russians repulsed the attack, and
the turning movement was checked
by Russian cavalry, supported by
machine guns.
The receipt of the news at Toxic Of
the march Of the Japanese from Dzi-
antchan was the probable origin of
the rumor that Kuroki had crossed
the Hun river, which runs twenty
miles north OF Da Pass.
The most reliable information does
not indicate the resumption Of the
japanese offensive for some days.

Esopus, N. Y. Sept. 21.-Judge Par
ker was in constant communication
with his advisers at Saratoga to-day
Judge Parker declined to make any
comment other than to authorize the
publication of telegram of congrat-
ulation which he sent to the nominee
for the head of the state ticket. The
telegram read as follows:
Accept my hearty congratulations.
The action of the convention assures
the party a good candidate and the
people a good Governor
There were no political callers at
Rosemount to-day. The day was the
coolest of the season. Fires were built
in furnaces at Judge Parker's home
and in the lodge, but the sudden drop
of the temperature did not deter Judge
Parker from taking his daily plunge
in the river. An attendant, wrapped
in an overcoat. shivered on the dock
while Judge Parker took a five-min-
ute swim. which he pronounced invig-
Grating.

TOwn-Granting of Two Liquor Lii
censcs Incensed Churches That
Had Filed Protest with the City
Council.
Augusta, Sept. 21.-The friction be-
tween the ministerial alliance and the
City Council engendered by the grant
ing of two liquor licenses to which the
preachers objected was brought to
head to-day by the announcement that
a prohibition campaign would be start
ed. Rev. Sam Jones, Len G.. Brough-
ton and DR.. Stuart have been commu-
nicated with and will arrive in Augusta
in November to work up sentiment.
They will not come for the purpose of
holding revival, but purely in the
interests of the prohibition election.
The date of the balloting has not yet
been announced, but will probably be
held early i'm the approaching year.
The trouble has been simmering for
some time. Some months ago Council
granted "A liquor license for a bar near
the Second Baptist Church, in the face
of the protest of the members and
minister. Later another license was
given. despite the protest of st. James
Methodist Church in the lower part of
the citv.
There has been much talk, and it
was freely prophesied, that cam
paign for restricting bars to the fire
limits and for high license would be
brought on by the ministers in retalia-
tion, but the open prohibition fight
comes as a surprise.
There Is a great deal Of feeling, and
a warm contest is looked for

plosion that all but ten feet of the rear
portion of the car was blown into
small pieces. while windows within
a radius of a quarter of a mile were
shattered.
The immediate vicinity of the acci-
dent presented fearful spectacle when
those in the neighborhood reached the
scene. The ground was strewn with
arms, legs and other portions of the
bodies of those who had been killed,
while shrieks and groans came from
the writhing forms of the injured.
The car contained mostly men on
their way to their homes in this city,
the accident taking place only quar-
ter of a mile from Melrose Center.
Within a few minutes a crowd had
collected and the injured were cared
for until the physicians, not only from
Melrose. but from Medford, Everett

The police arrested Roy Fenton. driv
er of an express wagon. Fenton, it
was learned, was carrying two fifty
pound boxes of dynamite on his wagon
and did not know until he reached the
express office that one of the boxes
had dropped off. He hurried back in
the hope of picking it up, but the
electric car reached the box first.
The force of the explosion was ter
rife and the report was heard many
miles. Directly opposite the scene was
the Masonic building, every window Of
which was shattered, and through one
of the windows human foot was
blown.
A score OF persons within hundred
yards of the car were knocked down
