GREAT BRITAIN CRUSHED
BY SWETTENHAM'S BREAK
Press Public and Government Offer Profuse Apologies
to Admiral Davis and the United States
May BE Recalled.

The world yesterday stood amazed at
the news from Jamaica that United
States Rear Admiral Davis and his men
had been ordered from Jamaica by Sir
James Alextnder Swettenham. governor
of the island
This almost incredible announcement
was accompanied by the information
that the admiral had withdrawn his
warships and supplies from Kingston
waters and had started for Guatanama
The news has shocked and outraged
the entire civilized world. 1t seems
almost too preposterous for belief that
the kindly offices of the United states
in carrying provisions and medical sup
plies 10 the inhabitants of the stricken
city, and caring for their sick and in
jured have been met by insult and re-
bun
Today the echoes Of Governor SWEET
tenham's rash discourtesy are reverber-
ating throughout amazed civilization
and it seems highly probable that the
SUMMARY dismissal of the governor.
Jamaica Ginger as he is now called.
will be the course adopted by hts home
government. Added to this there
seems no doubt that Great Britain will
make the amend honorable to the
United States by ample apology.
The wires have been kissing since
the news first gained currency with
indignant protest from London and
elsewhere at the unwarranted conduct
! of the governor. From London comes
the following:

YOU AND | WILL
GO TO THE MAT"
Attorney Ibach Threatens
Otto Negele During
Divorce Trial.

You had better not say that or you
and I will go to the mat"
Such was the threatening statement
made by Attorney ]. G. Ibach to Otto
Negele during the progress of the
Negele divorce case this morning.
Attorney Ibach, who represented
Mrs Negele in the divorce proceedings,
had drawn an admission from Mr.
Negele that he (Negele) had been IN
the habit al one time of giving out
liquor for other than medicinal pur-
poses. In admitting that he had been
guilty of these practices in years past,
Mr.. Negele named Mr.. Ibach as one to
whom he had given drink
Mr. Ihach resented the charge with
the foregoing dramatic exclamation.
He was called to order by the court
The Negele divorce case has been on
trial in the superior court since yes
terday afternoon and VIII probably not
be closed until late this evening. Otto
Negele, who is well known in Hammond
as the South Holman street drug
gist, is suing for divorce on the ground
that it is impossible to live with his
wife on account Of her temper.
Mrs. Negele has filed a cross-bill de-
ny1ng all the charges against her and
charging her husband with having an
unruly temper and quarreling with her
when she demonstrated with him for
giving away liquor for any other than
medicinal purposes.
| Mr. Negele was represented by Attor-
ney W. j. McAleer and Mrs. Negele by
Attorney J. G. Ibach. In trying to
/ bring out the evidence against the
complaining druggist Attorney Ibach
lead along the line that NegeIe was
selling liquor contrary to the wishes OF
4 his wife and against the law. The
plaintiff admitted having dealt out H.
quor to friends while campaigning fo1
the nomination of coronership, but
since that time he had dropped the
practice. When his own attorney, w. ]
McAleer. asked Negele about the trutf
of the statement, he admitted 1t again
and being asked for names, said tha
he had given liquor to Attorney Ibacf
himself, although this was years ago
Mr. Ibach rose in his chair and said
You would better not say that or yo1
and I Will go to the mat" A word of OBJ
lection from Judge Tuthill stopped an,
farther conversation along that lin,
and the hearing proceeded in a mos
sensational manner.

Kopinske, bleeding profusely from

He was met in the hall by the prin-
cipal Miss Symmes. who saw at a
glance that she had a bad customer
to deal with and with great presence
of mind, acted accordingly.
The pupils and the other teachers
left their rooms and fed to the upper
rooms of the building for safety. Miss
Symmes retained her composure IN
spite of the fact that the blood covered
man was a sight to strike terror into
the heart of any one.
Where are you going?" she asked.
This is my house and I want all
of you people to get right out" said
the man. determinedly.
Miss Symmes did the only thing pos
sible under the circumstances. She
laughed. The man looked perplexed.
"Sprechen sic Deutch?" asked Miss

jabber in his own language. Several

the meantime the other teachers and

three terrified women who happened
TO be there, he went across Gostlin

building. Frightened by a wild-eyed,
bIood-eovered maniac, all of the pupils
and teachers, with the exception of
plucky Miss Symmes. principal of the
school, sought refuge on the upper
floor of the building.
The maniac was Joe Kopinske, who
! claimed to be from South Chicago. He
seemed to be suffering from the hal
lucination that every door he approach
cd was the door to his room and he
proceeded to assert his supposed right

He was FIRST noticed prowling about
the back yard of the home of Mrs. Rosie
Wolters, who lives a few houses north
of Gostlin street in Cameron street.
At the time Mrs. Wolters was en-

1t was not long before the fellow was
pounding at the door to the summer
kitchen and the three women with
a half dozen terrified children. were
huddled inside, wondering what would
happen next.
The man first succeeded in breaking
the hook that held the storm door and
then he threw himself with all his
might against the door to tho kitchen.
The first push broke the lock from the
door and the man man rushed in upon

The man yelled: This is my house

At this time Mrs. Wolters had sent
