(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, December colombo
Harbor, the principal seaport of Cey-
lon and its shipping had narrow es'
cape from destruction in the early
DAYS of the war, according to mail ad-
vices just received here. A German
spv set fire to an anchored vessel
which contained more than fifty tons
Of dynamite. The only means of
saving neighboring shipping and
bqrbor works was to sink the burning
ship and this was done by a squad of
volunteers at a considerable risk.
All mention of the incident was APP
rarently deleted by the English CEN
sor in the cable news dispatches at

The annual fair conducted by the
colored people of Sumter county has
lust been brought to a successful
close, and was by far the best exposi-
ton vet held at the Americas lnsti-
tute. There, attractively displayed,
were hundreds of the best products OF
farm and garden, livestock, handiwork,
canning and cooking, demonstrating
the advances made along this line Of
endeavor.
The exhibit which filled several de-
partments of the Americas Institute,
has just closed and the two commit
tees have made their awards. Supt.
J. E. Mathis, of tho Americas city
schools Supt. w. S. Moore, Of the Sum
ter county schools, and MIR. ]. l. Hitler,
constituted the committee passing on
the exhibits of agricultural products,
live stock, etc. In the women's de-
partment a committee composed Of
Mrs. V. B. Wilson, Mrs. NJ. c. Hawkins
and Mrs. L, l.. Brown made the
awards.
Following is the official report of the
two committees of award:
Your committee made these awards
with much difficulty because of the
general excellency of all the exhibits
made. 1t was no easy matter to Sc
lect the best.
Unstinted praise is que Miss Annie
B. Irwin, the supervisor of rural
schools in Sumter county, for the
marked success she has achieved with
in a single year in awakening an in
terest in corn and canning clubs
among the colored public schools.
And the colored teachers of Sum
ter county who have been given an
at the corn and canning
clubs deserve great commentator for
the enthusiastic manner in which they
took hold of the work.
The exhibits in sewing, basketry
and fancy work were, indeed, very
creditable.
The painstaking care manifested by
both teachers and pupils will surely
bear rich fruit for the future IN the
efficiency of these children
when they go out to take their places
in the world.
We would not be just if we did not
commend most highly the unselfish
spirit of service to his race that
prompts w NJ. Reddick to en-
courage the teaching of manual train
ing and domestic science in the coun-
ty schools by rendering the use of his
every year for these ex
hibits.
We, the committees on awards, re
port as follows:

GET WAUKEGAN CONTRACT.
T. B. Jeffrey Company to Build Truck
for Use of Waukegan Departments.

The Thomas B. Jeffrey Automobile
Manufacturing Company of Kenosha
received the contract to furnish this
city with a combination automobile
patrol and ambulance last night when
the members of the city council vot-
ed to accept their bid ON the car and
the mayor has been authorized to sign
8 contract with them to this effect.
While the Jeffrey bid of $4,000 is
1915 above that of the lowest bid, put
in by the Mitchell company of Racine,
it is declared that the Kenosha firm
viii give the city machine that will
come closer to the specifications that
are required here. According to Com
missioner Atterbery the Jeffrey peo-
PIE will make the car special through
cut and it is thought for this reason
that it is a saving on the part Of Wan
kegan to turn the work over to them.
1t is thought that the contract for
the machine will be illed within the
next three or four weeks and that it
will be turned over to the city within
that time. The car viii be a combina-
ton ambulance and patrol and will fill
q much needed want here. For some
time it has been known that the city
has great use for such an appliance as
the work that patrol or ambulance
could do is becoming heavier with the
passing of each month.
At the time the bids were called for
there were six in all turned in and the
Jeffery car was the only one, according
to the city officials to comply with
what IS wanted here The Overland
company put in a bid Of $1,000, but
their specifications called for a four
cylinder car, not in keeping with the
specifications sent out by the council.

cine, which was thought for time to
have had the best Of the bidding Of
fered to make the car for So, 385, which
N many respects answered what is de-
lnanded here, and led the bid of all

SHERIFF HUNTS IN The STORM
Frank Bowler, Former Hired Man at
Wagner Farm Thought to be Making
For Chicago With Horse and Milk
Wagon-Deputies on His Trail.

Sheriff F. w. B. Achen and IDENTITIES
from KenoshG and Pleasant Prairie ara
securing roads leading south from Ke-
nosha county in al effort to secure the
arrest of Frank Bowler, a seventeen
year old Chicago BOY, who is wanted on
charges of horse stealing. Up to half
past four O'Clock Tuesday afternoon
young Bowler was hired man at the
farm of Wagner Brothers in the town
ct Pleasant Prairie and just about the
time that he disappeared from the farm
the Wagner Brothers discovered that
the farm had been robbed. The best
horse had been taken from the stables.
the best set of harness and the best
milk wagon. In addition to this the
house had been entered and all the
loose change that could be located was
taken Wagner Brothers do not know
absolutely that Bowler took all the
missing property, but they hold that
there was strange coincidence in the
disappearance of the boy and the
property.
Sheriff Achen was notified of the
robbery just after five 'clock Tuesday
afternoon and securing the aid of a
number Of deputies he started out 4
half hour later and made a trip in an
automobile to all roads leading out of
the county. Bowler was last seen
driving south in the milk wagon. It
IS supposed that he is making an effort
to get into Chicago with the horse and
wagon Bowler e sid to have Sis
ter In Chicago and the officials believ-
ing that he will make an effort To
reach the home of this woman have
ordered the detective force in Chicago
to keep close watch for him and ar
rest him just as soon as he arrives
in Chicago.
Bowler had come to the Wagner FARM
Only a short time ago. He claimed
to have worked in factories in Chicago
and said that he was forced to seek
farm work on account of slack work
in the Chicago factories. Several times
during the past few days he had asked
men in the neighborhood Row Ion0 if
would take to drive to Chicago and the
best routes to be taken. It is thought
that the boy had carefully planned to
get away with the horse and wagon.
Sheriff Achen and his men kept GO
ing through the rainy night and they
had not abandoned the search early this
afternoon. They feel convinced that
the boy has hidden the horse and
wagon somewhere in the south end of
the county and they are still hopeful
of securing his arrest.

Attorney Calvin Stewart of this city
who was one Of the democratic candi-
dates for the nomination for member
of congress o. Tuesday, mas great faith
in early political reports and this morn
ing he wired Jay Page of Elkhorn con-
graduating him on his nomination and
proffering his support during the cam
paign. In the meantime this is about
all the assurance that Page has that
he is nominated Stewart had a whale
of a majority over Page in this county
and reports from other counties in the
district may show that the Kenosha
man won the nomination. Should this
be the fact Page has some perfectly
well worded congratulations which he
can send Lack to Mr.. Stewart. The
Kenosha man declared this morning
that if Kearney had been defeated for
the nomination for United States sem
ator he did not want to be on the tic
ket and reports from the state strongly
indicate the defeat of Kearney.

packed house which greeted the parti-
cipants showed its appreciation of
every feature by enthusiastically call
iGg for encores, all Of which were re-
fused because Of the length of the
program.
The musical comedy swas prepared
under the direction of S. G. Stearns,
upon request of the Catholic Woman s
Club. To those who saw the late re-
hearsals, the play passed off in man
ner that astonished them the whole
show going off without a single hitch
in any respect,
The pretty story of "Under the
Mistletoe Bough" is used in a delight
ful manner, to wedge apart some TWEEN
ty or more really clever musical come
dy stunts, all Of which were backed by
large and well trained working Choir
uses. The story deals with beautiful
bride, who leaves the wedding party
during the wedding festivities and in
intombed in an old chest which closes
with spring lock and is not found
until fifty years later.
The song numbers were all catchy,
and there was a snap and go to the en-
tire production seldom seen in local
talent affairs.
Owing to the number of people in
the cast individual mention is impos-
sible here, but suffice to say, that the
grown ups and the little. tots (some of
whom were leses than four years of age

kAREL GETS COUNTY BY 500
Kearney and Stewart Both Given En-
dorsement in Home Territory and
schmitt Makes Runaway Race For
Nomination For County Treasurer.

Andy Stahl was featured in the
democratic primaries on Tuesday and
he came back in his race for sheriff
with rush and swept everything be-
fore him, taking every precinct in the
city and county with the exception of
the home ward of Andrew Anderson in
the city and the home precinct of
Ward Silvernail in the town of Paris.
Stahl ran like a scared rabbit and ran
all over the county. He had total of
1887 votes in the county ard Anderson
was second with $50 and Silvernail
third with 271.
Coupled with Stahl in the heavy run
ming on the democratic ticket was
johnny Schmitt. Johnny and An
dy went together in nearly all of the
wards and they got the lion S share of
the votes. Schmitt did not make his
victory over the two other candidates
cutie as emphatic as that Of Stahl, but
he managed to run away with a grand
total of 1882 votes and the next man
tx him was A. f. Dunnebacke with 429.
George M. Melville, who had been mod
est over the display OF his picture in
the campaign, ran third.
The heavy ticks put in for the
Stand by Wilson" candidates failed
to dc any great good in Kenosha
county and Karel, the Milwaukee Judge
has majority over the Madison man
in this county Of 548. Karel carried
every election precinct in the county
and ran second to Stewart for congress
ard Kearney for United States sena-
tor. Stewart had the poll among the
democratic candidates and he was Civ
en- handsome endorsement in his home
county, defeating Jay Page of Elkhorn
with majority Of more than thous-
and votes.
The vote for Kearney showed the re-
spect in which the Racine candidate is
held in Kenosha county and he pulled
away from the rest Of the candidates
and had total of 1,241 votes to Alb
for Husting. Husting was the low man
in the two man events among the
democrats.
The fact that the democrats cast
none than 1900 votes in the primary
was one of the features of the semi
annual struggle with the "Mary Ann !"
1t was a democratic day all over the
county and the vote cast in even the
strong republican wards was largely
democratic. It was claimed that some
republicans went into the democratic
primaries on Tuesday, but if this is
true the number who crossed to the
democracy was small. The recent cam
paigning in the county had its effect in
pulling out the big democratic vote.

LOOKS LIKE Philip
BULLETIN.

Returns of the democratic and re-
publican primaries throughout the
state up to three p. m. fail to show
conclusively just who has been
nominated for governor. Emanuel
Philip has long lead for the re-
publican nomination with w. III.
Hatton as his only close competi-
tor. Incomplete returns give
Philip a lead Of more than 10000
votes and while some big Hatton
districts are to be heard from Nil
waukee afternoon papers concede
the nomination of Philip. The
same papers claim the nomination
of John G. Karel for governor on
the democratic ticket, but this is
subject to lively dispute by the
managers of the Awkward cam
paign who assert that Awkward
will more than equal any lead that
the early returns have given to
Karel. Governor f. e. McGovern
is dominated for United States
senator by the republicans and
Paul 0. Husting defeated Thomas
M. Kearney of Racine, for the dem
ocratic nomination. Husting has
long lead over Kearney and it is
thought certain that he will be the
nominee. The morning papers an
nounced the nomination Of Jay
Page Of Elkhorn as the democratic
candidate for congress in the first
district, but the big majority for
Calvin Stewart in his home county
appears to have given him the
nomination by at least 500.
