nation of a witness to demand of Attor-

ular Spock insisted, however, that this
was a customary procedure when the

sible for the accident. In this case the

Spock said, because the railroad bore the
whole loss. The car was of wood, he
added, and had to be torn away from
the engine in pieces.

GERMANY DELAYS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 1.-the
presentation of the note of the pow
ers designed to bring Turkey and the
allies together again in renewal of
peace negotiations has been delayed
by Germany. 1t was learned today
from a source close to high official
circles that the German ambassador
acting on instructions from Berlin
had made further representations to
the ambassadors which are believed
to favor Turkey.
This was the first apparent confir-
nation of reports that Germany had
placed the support of her diplomacy
to Turkey to effect the assurance
which the powers of the triple entente
(England, France and Russia) have
given the Balkan allies.
1t is now believed the note will be
handed to the Turkish government
Thursday. In the meantime the porte
has instructed the Turkish peace en-
voys to remain in London pending fur
ther instructions.

Children.

Another appeal is being made by the

a closer watch over children attending
school who are suspected of having
scarlet fever.
A child was found in the schools last
week who had contracted this disease
and had attended school for three days
and had visited several families and
exposed many children to the disease.
Many cases of adenoids and decay
ed teeth have been found among the
school children. Both ailments tend to
make students dumb and stupid ac-
to -Bramkamp. Neglected
teeth are apt to impair the students
health to such a degree that their
school work will be greatly handicap

Dublin Druggist Arrested on
Indictment Returned by
the Grand Jury.-Released
on $500 Bond.
WILL INVESTIGATE
ALL OTHER REPORTS
Witnesses from Cambridge
City and Centerville Are
Called Before that Body
Today to Testify.

AS the result of testimony received
today it is highly probable that the
grand jury will institute microscopic
investigation in the attempt to uncover
alleged bootlegging in the county.
Charles Howren, a druggist, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff Mote at Dublin on the charge
of illegal selling of Intoxicating liquor.
Howren is about IS or 20 years of age
He furnished a bond of $500. DR.. ]. d.
Kerr of Greensboro will be obliged to
face three indictments charging him
with illegal sale of liquor, within the
near future. The indictments against
Kerr were returned by the October
grand jury.
The Indictment against Howren is
the outcome of charges placed against
Archie Bell, colored, alleged to have
sold liquor to minors by DR.. c. e. Nc
kee, of Dublin. Bell was taken before
the grand jury last week and testified
that he had not taken money for the
uhiskey which he admitted that he
had furnished to some small boys of
the town.
Son Given Liquor.
DR.. Mckee is not desirous of prose
cutting Bell, whom he alleges is a vic
| tim of circumstances, and has a good
reputation in Dublin. DR.. Mckee said
he would prosecute the violators of the
law to the limit. His thirteen-year-old
son was given liquor last week by
Bell it is said, which made him so
| drunk that he was unconscious for
! three hours
| Howren operates grocery and drug
store in Dublin and it is believed that
he makes part of the liquor in his es-
Itablishment. He has been using Bell as
the middle-man to dispose of his liq.
uor, it is said. Bell would go to vari
GUS persons in the village and solicit
orders for whiskey, one of the wit
nesses alleged.
! One Of the witnesses claims that
Howren has been guilty of the same
offense in New Lisbon and Millville
Ind, before he started in Dublin.
| Several witnesses were called today
from Cambridge City and Centerville
to testify to reports of bootlegging in
their respective towns. 1t is believed
that several store keepers have beer
violating the liquor laws in both pla
ces. Some of the saloon keepers it is
alleged, are responsible for the probe
of Cambridge City They are said tc
want to justly control the sale Of liq
uor as they have paid for licenses.
Charles Schoop was arraigned ir
circuit court this morning and pleaded
not guilty to a charge of criminal as
sault. Schoop is now in the county jai
awaiting trial. He is alleged to be res
ponsible for the condition of Eldors
Clark, said to be of feeble mind.
Several weeks previous to his arres
he applied at the office of County
Clerk Matthews for license to mar
ry Miss Clark. The license was refus
ed because Miss Clark was said to be
feeble minded. An Indictment was re
turned against him by the grand jury
yesterday
