STRUCK SUBMERGED PILE.

The oyster sloop Harriet Smith,
Captain Bailey in command, serious
ly damaged her bows yesterday when
she struck some submerged piling
about 100 yards below the Bryant's
wharf.
The boat was heavily loaded with
crushed oyster shells consigned to the
Bryant's Fertilizer Works, and in
attempting to dock the boat struck
the piling and a bad hole was. torn in
her bottom. The deck load was re-
moved as quickly as possible,but the
boat being down III the water to her
upper deck made it impossible to re-
move the load in her hold Workmen
will probably attempt to patch the
opening in her bows and then pumps
will be set to work to remove the wa
ter in her hold so the boat can be

COUNSEL is PREPARED
Wolf of Wall Street" Will, it is Be-
lieved, be Indicted for Imper-
sonating Officer.

Washington, July 24-Arrest of
David Lamar, "The Wolf of Wall
Street. is believed to be imminent.
It is reported that an agent of the
United States District Court in New
York is on hi: way here with war
rant for MIR. Lamar, this warrant
being based on an Indictment suppos-
ed to havs been found by the Fed
eraI grand jury.
Coupled with this report is the ap'
pearance before United States Com
missioner Anson Taylor,of Henry f.
Davis, counsel for. Lamar. Mr.. Davis
gave ord that if Mr.. Lamar is want
ed he VII appear.
If Mr.. Lamar is arrested his case
is likely to be fought out here, and
not in New York. 1t is understood
that his lawyer will Immediately ask
for writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that his ellen thas committed
no crime. 1t that event the court
here Will be compelled to pass o1n the
question of whether Lamar's imper-
sonating a congressman is m9erson-
ting "a Federal officer" This quss-
ton is obviously the cruX Of the case.
Attorneg General McReynolds,
when the case first came up, said that
there is very grave doubt as to
where an Indictment will lie.
If Mr.. Lamar elects to go to New
York and fight the case there in the
went of his being arrested,
fight will be made on demurrer to
the indictment. Here the question
will he on a writ of habeas corpus,
but the LEGAL question to solve
whether a Congressman is an officer
in the meaning of the statute-wlil
be The same.
Mr.. Lamar is reported to have,
made all arrangements for the pro-
curing of bail in a large sum II ne Is
arrested. No doubt is expressed that
he will be admitted to bail, although
the sum fixed is likely to be large

HORRIBLE BARBARITY.
Seventeen Hundred Women, Children
and Old Men Slaughtered Con-
ference in London.

Athens, July 24.-First-hand evil
dence of the alleged barbarity of the
Bulgarians was given here today by
Commander Caradafe, of the British
navy. He said that he counted 1,7O0
bodies of old men, women and child
rem among the dead at Doxato.
Cardale said that the bodies of
many of the little Children were pier
ced through, Indicating that the Bull
garans had tossed the little ones up
in the air and caught them alive on
their bayonets.
London, July 24.-An ambassador
ial conference was called for this aft
tcrnoon at the foreign office to consld-
er the Balkan situation, but it was
regarded as unlikely that the consul
tation would result in any decision
regarding Adrianople, because of the
well-known divergent views of seve-
raj of the powers.
The meeting today was merely pre-
!iminary, paving the way to other
conferences at which the ambassadors
will be empowered to take decisive
stems to end the Balkan Struggle.

TIRED OF BLOODSHED.
Ballots VIII Prove More Effective
Than Bullets = United States For
bids Shipment of Arms.

Washington, July 24.-Suggestions
to the warning factions in Mexico
that they lay down their arms and
settle their differences at a special
election may follow the conference
which President Wilson and Secretary
of State Bryan will have next Satur-
day with Henry Lane Wilson, the
American Ambassador to Mexico.
Convinced that the better element
in Mexico is disgusted with the con-
tinuedi boodshed and destruction of
property, President Wilson is hopeful
flu THAT he can persuade both sides
to arbitrate their differences in an
orderly manner.
Otherwise, and this, too, depends on
what Ambassador Wilson may have
to report, the United States may, as a
last resort, send troops across the
border and make the contestants be-
have.
In the mantime, the Huerta faction
will have no advantages over the Car
rama faction in the matter of getting
arms and ammunition from the Unl-
ted States. Heretofore, while the
Huerta forces were regularly i'm
porting weapons from this country,
the Carranzatistas were shut off from
them.

half of the places on the State ticheU'
The fact that the farmers are busy
with their record breaking cops IN
also detracting from pubic interest IN
the campaign.
