VESSEL WRECKED
 IN FIERCE GALE

Delaware Breakwater, Del, February 11.-Driven by gale that blew oO miles an hour the four-masted schooner Sarah w. Lawrence, from Newport News with a cargo of coal for Boston was today blown aground on the Hen and Chickens shoals off Cape Henlopen Delaware, and is now pounding to pieces. The crew of nine men and the captain and his wife were rescued by the Cape Henlopen life savers, after thrilling expenrience. The schooner broke in two after the 10 persons had been taken off. They were landed at Lewes, Del.
 The schooner was discovered ashore by the Cape Henlopen lookout. The government wireless system at the cape was brought into service and calls were sent up and down the coast from Sandy Hook to Norfolk for revenue cutters. In the meantime the Della ware breakwater was notified and a tug was started off for the shoals. The sea was running so high that 1t was impossible for the life savers alone to go to the assistance of the stranded vessel and the tug was called upon 10 tow the life savers in launch out to the schooner. The Cape Henlopen men risked their lives in putting their boat through the bounding seas, but they req ched the schooner safely ana Just as the helm of the Lawrence became submerged. The crew with the lone woman were huddled on the fore house of the sunken vessel.

 ing Part of Atlanta AN INJUNCTION IS ASKED Recently Formed Committee on Gov ernment of Atlanta Is Mostly In
 Favor of Commission for
 Governing the City.
AN INJUNCTION IS ASKED

Atlanta. February u.-(Specia1. )-The people of DeKalb county are bent upon making determined fight against At lanta acquiring any of their territory, and the question will come before Judge w. D. Ellis in the superior court to- morrow
 Atlanta recently extended her city limits in such manner as to take in about half dozen land lots lying in DeKalb county and comprised in the suburbs of Edgewood and Kirkwood. which have been evolved into the new Ninth ward.
 Under a law passed in 1906 it was pro- vided that where any city or town is di- vided by a county line, the people may call an election and decide in which county the entire city or town shall be located
 But the DeKalb county people who ob- ject to the territory being taken away by piecemeal. now come forward and hold that this law could not, constitutionally, apply to a county seat because such an election might possibly result in taking a county seat out of the county to which it belongs and leaving it without a seat of government This Is the main and most interesting point in their pe- tition for injunction which asks the court to prevent the holding of the election set for February 9, to determine whether Atlanta shall be located in Fulton or De- Kalb county.
 Of course the election is a mere matter of form, since there are some 10 or 30 times as many voters in Atlanta as form erly existed, as there are in the DeKalb portion of the city, and the result could not be in question. Legally, however, 1t might be so considered.
 City officials declare that DeKalbs fight will amount to nothing, and express their belief that the petition for injunction will be promptly denied after the hear ing.
