dunno REFUSES TO LET MILITIA
HUNT FOR MISSING MAN
Springfield, Ill.,, April o.-After a
conference with Adjutant General
Dickson, Gov. Dunno today told ILL
nois anti-saloon league leaders that
he could not order out company of
state militia to search for Louis r.
Patmont, dry worker, who disappear
ed under mysterious circumstances
at Westville, a mining village south of
DanviIle, while engaged in a bitter
local option campaign. The governor
said he found no precedent for such
action.
Sheriff Shepard and a posse of
deputies from Danville today began a
search of ponds and swamps near
Westville, working on the theory that
Patmont may have been murdered
and his body concealed. The church
of Christ at Danville has employed
four private detectives who are en-
gagged in the search.

This Term Witnesses Closing Of the
Official Career Of Judge Pow
ers Upon the Bench.
|'IncwERsEN CASE is STILL ON
Murder Case From Manila Will Fol.
low Immediately After the End
ina of lngwersen Case.

The district court will conclude the
September term the latter part OF this
week.
. This is Judge Powers closing term
of court in this county. He has been
upon the bench number OF years and
has an extensive acquaintance in the
county. Perhaps no man living out
of the county has a larger acqualnt-
ance. The Judge. during his expert
ence on the bench. has proved him
self a tireless worker and sustains at
this time, as he did when he went up
on the bench, a reputation for intes-
rity and probity. No one has ever dis
covered anything in his conduct dur
ing his judicial career to create sus.
picion that his acts were influenced
by any other motive than the most
laudible. The best wishes OF the bar
of this county will follow him into
has retirement and he will always
know that he enjoys the unalloyed
friendship of the people OF Crawford
county.
The last week has been taken up
with the trial of the case OF lngWer-
sen VS. Carr & Brannon. The case is
not yet concluded and will probably
last until Thursday of this week. The
evidence consists largely OF what is
termed expert testimony. which has
brought to Denison large number OF
celebrated experts who have given
their testimony 1t would be out OF
place to comment on the evidence at
this time as long as the case is pend
ing before a jury. 1t is growing tire
some to all parties connected with the
case and the hope is entertained that
It may soon be concluded.
Two or three Wills have been ad-
mitted to probate during the last few
days and number of orders made
which have been settled or disposed
of otherwise than by trials.
The murder case of the colored wo-
man, who is charged with having com
mitted murder at Manila will be
called for trial Immediately follow
ing the case now on trial. The prob
abilities are that no other jury case
will be tried at this term OF court.
A large amount Of triaf business
will necessarily be crowded over to
the November term. 1t is to be hoped
the docket may soon be brought up

BRITISH LOSE
THREECRUISERS
Arrorcd Cruisers Abourkin, Hogue
and Crcssy Have Been Sunk
in the North Sea.
MOST OF THE CREWS SAVED
Announcement Horrifes All London
England Remains in Danger Of
Invasion With Fleet Intact.

London, Sept 22-The official press
bureau today announced that the
British armored cruisers Aboukir.
Hogue and Cressy have been sunk by
submarines in the North sea.
The announcement said nothing re-
garding the fate of the crews.
The three cruisers were of the
same class. The Aboukir was built
at Fairfield in 1898; the Cressy at the
same place and the same time, and
the Hogue at Barrow. They were 44O
feet long. 69.5 beam; draught 80 feet;
displacement, $1,000 tons. They were
21 knot cruisers, armored with Har:
vey nickel steel siv inches thick.
very nickel steel six inches thick;
turrets fore and aft; twelve inch in
easements; twelve 3 inch, and two
submerged torpedo tubes. They car
ried a compliment of TOO men each.
The Aboukir, which was patrolling
in the North sea. was the first to be
sunk by torpedo sent from Ger
man submarine. The Hogue and the
Cressy went to the rescue of the sur.
vivors, who were floating in the wa

also being sunk.
The cruisers were almost blown to
pieces, but many dcstroyers and
traWlers were rushed to the spot, pick

1t is stated that considerable num-
ber of the crews of the three warships
were saved. just how many it will be
impossible to say until all of the res
cue craft have been reported.
Announcement of this, the greatest
mishap to the British navy since the
war opened. Mortified London. Many
persons rushed to the admiralty build
ing to obtain particulars.
The three cruisers cost apprOxi-
mately $4,OO0,OOO each.
All England waits for naval action.
First Lord of the Admiralty Churchill
has announced that if the German
feet remained under the land defenses
at Wilhelmshaven and Heligoland the
British fleet would enter and drag
them out like dogs after2rats.' !.

vance along the flank Of the Ger
man right wing. The French
line had not been previously re-
ported north of Noyon, but the
Times places it at Lecateiet,
thirty miles north Of Noyon; Ros-
sci, nine miles southwest Of L.
cateIet, and Lassisny, eight miles
due west Of hoyon.. These Ioca-
tions have net been confirmed
from any other source, the French
war office having contented Itself
with saying that the French lett
wing was advancing along the
right bank Of the river, Oiee.
Dispatches from a Servian
source lay claim to further vic
tories over Austrian forces along
the river Drira. According to
these adviccs the Austrians have
been driven across this river to
the Austrian side with heavy
losses.
At, the Battle Front, Sept. % (Via
Paris)-Not moments respite was
given last night to the German forces
entrenchcd along the ninety mile
front running along the rivers Aisne
and Disc and extending into the
Woevre, district.
Tho batteries of the allied forces
never entirely ceased firing all night
although their activity diminished
somewhat after sundown.
Activity Begins.
The Germans occupying trenches
kept constantly on the alert, but un'
til 2. o'clock this morning no aggres
sive move was started from the allies
lines facing them. Then all the allied
batteries seemed to open fire togeth'
er and every point along the front be
came very active.
At the western end of the line the
allied Infantry gathered in the trench
es and simultaneously at various po
sitions crept out and advanced eau
tiously in wide open lines toward the
German positions.
Hold Ground Taken.
The French and British on severa
occasions succeeded in surprising ant
driving back the occupants OF the
German trenches, but only after the
most stubborn fighting and after very
'
instance the allied troops retained the
ground captured and Immediately dug
themselves in.
Further east the Germans them
selves developed strong attack and
though beaten back with the bayonet
returned again and again. Finally
they were driven off to their origina
position.
Give Troops Rest.
The allied commanders were able
to give the troops, who had been oc
cupying the advance firing line, wei
come rest, pushing to the front fresf
brigades Of batteries hitherto held II
reserve, and which were only too an
xious to come into actual contact.
Military experts estimate that near
ly 100000 or more men are now In
the zone where the battle has been In
progress ten days.
