U. S PoSTOFFIC.- INSPECTOR TO
BE HERE TODAY WITHA
WARRANT.
A LETTER FROM HIS HOME
Editor OF Upton, Ind, Times Writes
The News, Confirming Statement of
Man iii Jail That He Once Owned
Paper in That City.

On the eve Of being released from
the Glynn county Jail, where he has
oeen held for ten days on charge
OF which he was innocent, ]. M. Pat
terson now faces more trouble. as a
United States postoffice inspector will
arrive In Brunswick this morning,
clothed with a United States warrant
Tor Patterson, and, although it is not
believed that he is guilty of the new
charge preferred against him, at the
same time it seems more than likely
that Patterson will be taken to Mis-
sourl, where he is thought to be
wanted by Uncle Sam.
When the Ann Arbor officials ar
rived in Brunswick last week. L. C..
Nhance, a postottice inspector, was
also in the city and announced that
he believed Patterson was The man
wanted by the government in Mis-
souri,. He leftthe city the following
day, stating that, in the event Pat
terson was not taken in custody by
the Michigan officials, that he would
return here for hi.A.
Yesterday Chief of Police Ovens
received telegram from the inspector
announcing that he would arrive in til
city this morning with a United States
warrant for Patterson.
1t was generally expected that the
apnd nricNnn 1,
today, but now that the case has tax
en- this turn, he may be carried to Mis-
souri, to face a charge Of which he is
no doubt innocent
The News yesterday received let
ter from J. o. Behymer, editor of the
Upton, Ind, Times, which Indicates
that Patterson, as he has claimed all
along, is an old citizen of that place.
The letter is selfexplanatory and is
as follows:
Upton, Ind, March 20, 1914.
Editor Of The News, Brunswick, Ga.
Dear Sir:-I was much surprised
to receive in the mail today letter
from J. M. Patterson, detained as a
suspect at your city as being some
sort of a criminal, the variety he is
not able to state
The chirography itself indicates
that this is the former Upton resident
as he has written a number of inter-
esting letters from the southern cities
for publication in this paper.
Mr.. Patterson was engaged in the
newspaper business here for a num-
ber Of years. | purchased his print
ing plant in 1903 and S ce that time
he has been spending most of his time
in the south.
Any person in Upton county will
speak we'll of him and the officers in
the discharge of their duty have ev-
identity made the mistake that often
times occurs. l am writing to ask
that you personally interest yourself
in behalf of Mr.. Patterson, if the mis-
take has not already been discovered
and he has been released.
Yours very truly,
J. o. Behymer,
Editor Daily Times.

Editor Daily Times

A copy of the Upton Times was al
so received, containing an article
about the arrest of Patterson, and rid
iculing t e idea that he is a forger
or criminal of any lind.
Evidently the man now uncomfort-
ably occupying a cell in the Glynn
county Jail deserves and should have
his freedom, and it is to be hoped that
the postoffice inspector will decide up
on his arrival here this morning, like
the Michigan officers, that Patterson
is not the man wanted.

HOLIDAY RATES.
Will Not Be Given to the Trav.
cling Public by the Rail-
road Company.

Inquiries concerning possible holi-
day rates on therailroads, which have
been altering around from time to
time recently, are quieted by a state
ment from a railroad official to the
effect that there will be no holiday
rates. There have been none in the
east for five years ana none in the
west for three years. 1t was custo-
mary before that to grant a rate of a
fare and a half to students. teachers
and the like at holiday time. This
has been abolished and is unlikely to
be put into effect again.
On the contrary rates at holiday
time this year will be raised. The
raise will not be on account of the
holidays, but will just happen at that
time Of the holiday season. In ac-
cordance with permission received
from the interstate commerce COM
mission, as the result of hearing OF
railroad troubles In the past few
months, the railroads are permitted
to raise their interstate rates. The
rates west become effective Decembe
1, while the rates east will be raised
December Is. Schedules of the fares
west are already out, but those east
have not yet been announced. Inter
state rates Of course are not concern
ed. They will remain at whatever
the states have themselves fixed
them at, principally at two cents per
mile

and the bridge is flooded with water.
No noise is heard but the heavy
sound of the motor and the swish of
the water. The earliest signs of
dawn appear when suddenly in the
near distance there is the side of a
heavy bulk swinging high upon the
water. We pass through the long
tail of foam which hostile torpedo
destroyer has just left behind, speed

aged to find our way through the
first line of the enemy's advance
guard and from now on we must be
very careful. A signal is heard and
men appear upon deck. The boat is
prepared for action. The flagpole is
taken down, part of the bridge is
folded together and the periscope is
brought up to the proper height.
Then the entrance through the COM
bined bridge and tower is closed. The
tanks are opened and the inrushing
water tells us that the boat is about
to submerge. The gasoline motors
stop their endless song. Electricity
will drive us from now until we shall
reappear upon the water. A young
lieutenant is posted at the periscope

As Drawn by Word Description
in a Letter Published by the
Diet at The Hague.

Correspondence of Associated Press).
THE HAGUE, Nov. 11,-A letter
telling of an attack by the German
submarine U-26 upon an unmentioned
British warship Is published by the
Deit. 1t begins with preparations
for the expedition two hours before
midnight in order to make a strike at
dawn. The letter. said to have been
written by a member of the crew of
the attacking boat, follows:
Around the heavy granite rocks of
the long, pier the storm sweeps up
the water of the North sea In angry
waves. Inside the pier the water
lifts up our submarine in the regular
motion of heavy waves. Everything
is pitch dark. The fact that many
people are hurrying about on deck is
only shown by the somb bre figures who
now and then pass in front of the sin
gle lantern. From out of the engine
room already under water there arises
the sound of heavy pounding
and the wierd cracking of the en-
gines which are being tried out. At
half past ten there is shrill whistle
from the little bridge which is COW
cred with heavy canvass. The officer
in command dressed in oil skins gives
the sign of departure. The cables
are loosened. A sharp signal to the
engine room, the sudden whir as the
motor catches and the U-26 Is UNDER
way. The sharp bow plunges through
the water. On both sides of the ship
long waves are formed shimmering in
the blackness of the sea. We move
in westerly direction. We are go
ing towards the enemy. The heavens
are covered with clouds. Not star
is visible. A few feet away from the
boat nothing is noticeable at all. The

MADE By THE, BISHOP
Funds Are Needed at Once to
Replace Equipment De-
stroyed by Fire.

Bishop George w. Peterkin, of
Parkersburg, Tuesday evening wired
the Rev. Charles Baird Mitchell, rec
tor of Christ Episcopal church here,
the following information concerning
IA fire at the Sheltering Arms Hos
pital at Hansford. this state. half
hours ride out of Charleston:
Fire at the Sheltering Arms Hos
pital Friday, November 90, destroyed
the laundry equipment and half o.
the electric light machinery and div
further damage amounting to $4,-
500 above the insurance.
will you not plead with your
people to send help promptly to the
treasurer, G.. A. Cabell?"
The bishops appeal is not limited
to the members OF the Episcopal
denomination alone but is extended
to all persons who desire to aid a
worthy cause. Owing to the fire 1t is
urgent that considerable amount
OF money be raised at once in order
to replace the destroyed equipment
and this situation should especially
impress itself on all those Interested
or who are beneyolently inclined.
Episcopal churches throughout the
state always make Thanksgiving
Offering for this splendid hospital
and the public in general. AS the hos
tion deeply appreciate contributions
for the hospital from other churches
the public in general. As the hos
pital work is not limited to Episco-
palians hut extends to the general
public at practically no charge for
service ands treatment as shown by
the fact that coal miners are treated
for fifteen cents month. The work
is extensive as shown by the fact
that ITO patients were treated at
the hospital last year and it is an
indispensable institution. =
The peculiar feature of the Shell
tering Arms Hospital are. that It Is
free from many of the limitations
that necessarily attach to other sim
liar institutions. In the face of the
small fee Of fifteen cents month,
which makes provision for all the
family. 1t is practically free. 1t
makes no distinction between old
and young. sick and injured (the
state in its miners' hospital only
cares for those injured in the mines) !,
white and black. no distinction on
account of race or religion. The hos
pital is managed by small and
selfperpetuating body OF trustees.
which works smoothly and harmonic
ously towards the great end had in
view. to make the administration as
helpful and as far-reaching as may
be.
As Clarksburgers are eating their
Thanksgiving turkey and giving
praises for the condition OF their
well-being, 1t is sincerely hoped they
