second, by the coming conference of

SUBMARINE SANK
CHERBOURG, FRANCE. Spec-

CHERBOURG, FRANCE. Spec
ial.-0ne of the worst disasters I'm
the long series OF accidents that
has marked the use of subma-
rines I'm the French Navy occurred
near here when the sub
marine ''Vendimaire'' was struck
by the battleship st. Louis and
sunk i'm $50 feet of water.
There were three Officers and
twenty-four enlisted men on
board the tiny craft when she
was sent to the bottom, and there
Is no hope that any OF them are
alive.
At the time the disaster oc-
Cured a squadron of battleshiDs
were engaged i'm maneuvers with
the submarine fleet.
According to the commander of the
St. Louis, a large cash was cut in the
shell OF the submarine and she sank
Immediately after she was struck AS
soon as he reported the nature Of the
accident a dispatch was sent to the
ministry of marine at Paris stating
that there was no possibility Of saw
ing any of those on board the yes
sci.
Within an hour after the accident
had been flashed here by wireless
powerful machinery and dredges We're
hurried from the harbor and divers
were sent out on the fastest boats in
the harbor.
The divers, however, were able to
descend only a short distance and re-
ported to Admiral Fourier that the
only way of bringing up the vessel
would be to drag for her with Crap
ping hooks. The rapidity with which
the vessel sank indicated that her
plates were smashed, and the sub
marine experts here declared that
even If the crew succeeded in clos

would be unable to survive for any
length of time.
The "Vendimaire" was the latest
word in submarine construction, but
even the newest devices equipping her
for an accident of this nature were
held to be incapable of saving the crew
for more than a few hours.
During the last few years more than
half a dozen French submarines have
either foundered through structural
defects or been sunk in collisions.
Two years ago the submarine Plu-
viose collided with a channel steamer
off Calais and went TO the bottom.
Twenty-six lives were lost in that
accident.
The Pluviose was of the same type
as the Vendimaire.
Three of the most powerful battle
ships in the navy were taking part in
today's maneuvers when the accident
occurred.
Experiments were Deing made in
approaching battleships with subma-
rlnes. The Saint Louis. warned that
the Nendimaire would try TO sink
her, had orders to keep a sharp look
out and dodge her, If possible.
So. under the belief that the un-
derwater craft was bearing down upon
her from the stern, the captain OF
the Saint Louis sent his boat ahead.
Suddenly the submarine was seen 10
rise to the surface. she was seen
too late. The bow of the Saint Louis
was only a short distance from the
rising submarine when she was
sighted. Engines were reversed on
the battleship, but the crash was in
evitable.
When it came the submarine sank
at once.

Application was made on Saturday
for pardon for David b. Atkins. a
white man, who was sentenced in Sep
TENDER, 1911, to serve two years in
the State penitentiary for forgery.
The man was convicted in the Circuit
Court for Rockingham county. 1t
seems that he forged the name OF
some woman in that county and got
a small sum of cash. The case was
clear and unmistakable.
The man was received at the prison
in December, and was sent at once to
work on the roads in the county of
Russell. He died March 29th of this
year, from an attack of acute gas
tritiS. Nothing was known at the
office of the Governor OF this, and a
report was asked of the prison Off
Gals, which report was made Tuesday
morning.
Under the laws of the State the
road force manager sent a notice to
the clerk of the court at the time of
the mans death, saying that he had
died That is all that the State is re-
CURED to do in dealing with convicts
who lose their identity when they go
to the prison and are known by
number.
The petition for a pardon was sign
ed by the loser of the money.

TRADE IMPROVING

NEW YORK Special Henry
| CIews' weekly review of business
reads in part as follows:
Financial conditions are positively
changing for the better. A more con-
fident undertone prevails both here
and at the interior. This new wave
of cheerfulness blows in from the
West, where unrest for a long time
has been deep seated. The basis for
this change in tone is threefold. First.
our Industrial and financial leaders
seem to have decided by common con-
sent TO cut loose from politics. 1t is
felt that agitation has brought the
worst to the surface, and that an es-
innate can be placed upon the worst
mat is likely to happen. 1t is felt
also that the high tide of radiopliSm
mas been reached and that heEce-
forth more rational and normal judg-
ment is likely to prevail. There is
also less uncertainty as to what can
didates will be selected as standard
bearers for either party, although
nothing definite has yet been made
public regarding platforms. OF course.
the political barometer may fluctuate
violently during the next few months.
but in spite of such uncertainties the
worst to be expected is already known
ana the feeling is abroad that no eX-
treme policies are likely to be adopt-
ed during the next administration.
A second and more practical rea-
son for business betterment is con-
unued improvement in the crop out
look. Grain has progressed very sat
lsfactorily for the last three or four
weeks. a big hay crop is practically
certain, and the fruit crop in many
sections is also exceedingly promising.
AT present it looks as if the agricul-
tural classes were going to have an
other year of exceptional prosperity
If this proves true ii means good bust
ness next fall and winter throughout
the interior, and q consequent increase
of industrial activity; especially after
the hand-to-mouth policy which has
been pursued for some months. Con-
unued activity in the steel trade is
also having a widespread effect Rail-
roads have been heavy buyers Of many
steel products, and it is now an old
story that this industry has been run
ming at nearly full capacity for the
past two or three months. Prices are
steadily hardening, and though there
is temporary lull in new orders, it is
confidently expected that further large
amounts of new business will be soon
forthcoming. The requirements for
steel are urgent and a large proper
ton or the new capital being raised
by present and prospective new Sc
curlty issues is sure to find it's way into
the steel industry; and this means
much 10 general business in the iron
regions. The steel outlook is certain
ly brighter than has been the case for
several years.
The third important element in the
situation is the better labor outlook.
