DEFENSE AGAINST
 BRITISH BY PICKED
 TROOPS REFUSED
Russian Armies Continue Advance and Are in Pos session of German Towns in East Prussia

London, November 12.-(9:1O p. m ) \ critical stage in the battle in West Flanders has been reached, and the next few days, if not hours. should produce something decisive.
 The Germans with all the forces at their command have continued to attack the British and French, who hold the line between Dixmude and Ypres. but ex- cept for the capture of Dixmude, which occurred Tuesday, and some little prog ress around Ypres, they have not made material advance.
 The French official report says all the attacks have been repulsed. The Ger mans no longer are utilizing green troops in this region, but have brought up the pick of their army, including some Prus- sian guards. who attempted an offensive movement against the British but without success.
 Both Sides Satisfied
 Both sides express satisfaction with the progress of the battle. Berlin says the allies attacks have been repuIsed and that their own attack is making head way; while in London and in Paris it IS felt that so long as the allies can hold the line of the canal from Nieu- port to Ypres their position is strong.
 in France, from the northwest to the southeast, there have been engagements of lesser importance, in which, accord ing to the French report. General Jof- fre's armies have gained ground and ufpeaaa aaertl l.a xIot. mans eontinue to destroy bridges and rallways in Belgium, but with wiat ob- Ject remains a secret. It is thought, however, that they are making prepara- tions to winter in that country and they are taking every step to prevent their plans from becoming known to their enemies.
 The Russian army, under General Rem nenkampff, is fighting it's way into East Prussia and has taken Johannisburg. which Is on the railway from Lyck to soldau, both of which towns already are in Russian hands. This gives to Russia the control of an important railway line i, which skirts the frontier in German ter ritory and several branch railways run ming into the interior
 A hO SSilidi army, WHICH ufOVe the Ger mans back from the Vistula, has had only unimportant engagements, but it is known to be pushing forward to the borders of Posen and Silesia, which the Germans are crossing

ONE DEAD AND TWO INJURED AS RESULT
 OF TRAGEDY AT SEA
F. W. R. Hinman Shot and Killed on Board Steamship MOhawk-Slayer Is Be-
 lieved Unbalanced

Charleston, :. C., November 12.-The
 arrival here today of the American steamship Mohawk revealed tragedy
 on the sens off the North Carolina coast, resulting in one death and the serious wounding of two other per- sons. z.
 F. W. R. Hlnman, business manager of the Florida Times-Union at Jacksonville, and president of the Southern Newspaper Publishers association, who was Mo- hawk passenger, received bullet wounds which resulted in his death. B. H.. Wright of Utica, N r., another passen- ger, and Capt A. D. Ingram of the ship, are in hospital here tonight suf- fering from similar wounds. Phy ysicians believe both of the latter will recover.
 The shooting is alleged to have been done by a passenger registered as George Batcheler Perkins, architect, of Boston. He was placed in irons immediately after the tragedy last night and shortly after the Mohawk docked here this afternoon was given q preliminary hearing before Uniteu sts.les Commissioner Arthur Hu- ger. It was decided to hold. him for trial on the charge of killing MT. Him man.
 Not Mentally Responsible Evidence tending to show that Perkins was not mentally responsible at the time of the shooting was introduced at the hearing. N. K. Wentworth of Connect icut. who occupied a stateroom with Per kins on the Mohawk, testified that the prisoner had been taking a narcotic which the latter said was for the relief of head ache. Several other passengers testified that Perkins acted queerly prior to the tragedy.
 Mir. and Mrs, Hinman. MT. Wright and Captain Ingram were sitting in the com panionway of the Mohawk last night when Perkins, clad in pajamas and a raincoat, approached them He spoke to the captain, who replied that he must wear more suitable apparel if he wished to mingie with the other passengers. Hinman Hit Twice Perkins apparently became angered at the captains remarks and drawing re- volver, began firing. MT. Hinman was struck twice in the abdomen, Captain h. gram once, and MT. Wright once. A fifth bullet went wild. Perkins then is said to have turned the weapon on himself but there were no more cartridges in it.
 The wireless sent forth a message for further medical aid in addition to the ships facilities and the hospital steward from the torpedo boat destroyer Flusser en route from Charleston to Hampton Roads. hurried to meet the incoming ship. MT. Hinman, however, died early today on board the Mohawk
 The federal warrant charging Perkins With murder was read to the prisorfer tonight. He did not attend the prelimi- nary hearing today and the authorities say he manifests an attitude of not know ing what has happened
 The Mohawk was bound from New York for Charleston. Perkins is reported to have boarded the ship at New York.

that it takes hard-headed men to

lying in bed.
1t was shown that Brown had on
two occasions purchased Hill & Hill
whiskey at Arco and brought 1t to
Blackfoot in suit cases and he ad-
mitted that he had done this and
distributed" it, He also admitted
that he did it with the knowledge OF
the sheriff, and that he was receiving
a salary of $75 a month and expenses
from the sheriff and was to have five
dollars apiece for convictions. 1t
was shown that he had been selling
Hill & Hill whiskey.
Davis was shown to have been ar
rested for drunkenness when he first
came to BIackfoot, not long before
these arrests were made, and that he
was released from custody by the
sheriff without any warrant of law
or action of the court, on condition
that he would 90 to work trapping
bootleggers. He admitted that he
worked for Sheriff Jones on a salary
of SIS a month and expenses and
that he was to receive extra pay for
each conviction. He sold Hill & Hill
whiskey. The defense offered to
prove that he said in the Jail when
he was in for drunkenness, that he
would do anything and swear to any
thing to get out, and the sheriff &C
cepted his services and put him to
work on a salary. When Davis was
asked what his name was he said 1t
was Daniels, and then corrected him
self and said 1t was Davis.
Myers admitted that he had been
employed by the sheriff to catch boot
leggers, and said he understood he
was to receive 500 for each con-
viction, but he afterwards wanted to
change his statement and make 1t
conform to what the others had told,
and the statement was stricken out.
