London, Aug. 29.-Thc official in
formation bureau in a statement re-
garding the destruction of the Bel
gian town of Louvain by the Ger
mans and the German announcement
that the Inhabitants had fired on
their troops said:
The assumption of the German
commander was. under the circum-
stances, so wide of probability that
it can only be showed that in the
desire to conceal the facts the first
idea which occurred to him was
soized upon as an excuse for an act
without parallel in the history OF
civilized people. L
"Louvain has been utterly de-
stroyed by one of the emperor
commanders in n moment of passion
to cover the blundcr of his own men
"ln destroying the ancient town o:
Louvain the German troops commit
ted crime for which there can b'
10 atonement and humanity suffered
4 loss which never can be replaced.
Washington, Aug. ga defense
Of the German destruction of the his
'oric Belgian town of Louvaine was
confined in wireless despatch from
he Berlin foreign office to the Ged-
nan embassy here today. The mes
age says:
"In consequence of a sudden attack
If Belgian troops from Antwerp
he German garrison at Louvain went
gut to meet the enemy. leaving only
me battalion of the last reserves, and
IN army service corps.
Thinking this was retreat of the
ierman troops, priests of Louvain
rave the people ammunition and
civilians began to shoot at unsuspect-
'ng German troops from windows in
different parts of the town. A fight
lasting twenty-four hours took place
between the German soldiers and the
PEOPLE of the town. Parts of the city
are burning and civilians met carry
ing arms are killed.
"A manifesto of the chief of the
general staff speaks of bestial cruelty
on the wounded and makes the civil
authorities of the town responsible
FOR the provocation and for provid-
ing the people with arms.
THE leaders of the German army"
1t continues, protest against news
spread by enemies about the cruelty
)f German warfare. German troops
confines had to take severe meas
Tres when provoked by the people
making treacherous attacks upon
hem, or committing atrocities
against the wounded. The res oon-
sibility for this method of warfare
alls entirely upon the civil authori-
ties of occupied territory who give
arms to civilians and stir them up to
take part in the war. The German
troops never harmed people or pri-
vate property without cause. The
German soldier is no incendiary or
pillager. but fights only against the
army of the enemy. The news pub
lished in foreign pa1ers about Ger
man soldiers prosecuting non-combat-
ants are mean lies, showing lack of
morality on the part of the author. +"

The sale of lots was principally di-

a number of cases the lots were re

Mark Woods
Killed by City
Officer Silvas

After his life was threatened sew
eral times by colored residents of
the East Side Sunday evening, An
tonic Silvas, deputy city marshal
shot and killed Mack Woods, an en-
ploye of a restaurant across the
tracks. Silvas disappeared after the
shooting, the coroner's inquest being
to the effect that Woods came to
his death at the hands of Silvas.
Silvas had been extremely efficient
in ouelling disturbances in the colored
settlement across the tracks, having
arrested numerous bootleggers and
gamblers. all of which aroused an
antipathy against the officer. Gordan
Banks, who was recently in iaiI on
charge of conducting a blind tiger
came to Police Commissioner William
Egerer's house last night and IN
formed the officer that unless Sll-
vas was removed from the East Side
that he. Banks. would kill him. This
information was transmitted to Sill
vas with the result that Silvas
started on the trail of Banks, IN
tending to arrest him for the threat;
Silvas went to the Banks home ana
the latter stated that he would get
his gun. His wife volunteered to
aid him in securing the weapon and
while Silvas was waiting for Banks
to appear at the door, Woods, the
cook in the restaurant came to the
door to learn the cause OF the DIS
turbance. and Silvas, under the belief
that Banks was coming with his gun,
fired when the negro appeared the
bullet striking Woods in the abdomen,
death coming soon afterwards. ,
Coroner Peterson was called ana
held an inquest, the jurors beng I'M
naneled from colored residents OF the
East Side resulting in q verdict OF
murder against Silvas. Police Com
missioner William Egerer, in speak
ing of the affair this morning, SAID,
"Antonio Silvas has been one of our
most efficient officers; he was OF
special value to the city III the East
Side. He knew the habits OF the peo-
ple there and understood the Spanish
language. He was utterly fearless IN
pursuance of his duty and all wrong
doers in that locality feared HIM.
| only regret that he did not remain
as every part of the story that have
heard leads ME to believe that Sllvas
fired only when he believed that his
life was endangered.
"When Banks came to my house ami
asserted that he would kill Sllvas II
I did not remove him from hrs po-
sition. | belive that in itself would be
sufficient to clear any officer of any
charge which might be preferred
against him. Across the tracks as
II is Familiarity known. is a dangerous
place and it is difficult to secure re-
liable officers to care for the troubles
ensuing in the Mexican and negro
colonies over there. Antonio Silvas
handled every case over there in first
class shape and bootleggers and dive
keepers hated him, which resulted IN

MANY DEPARTMENTS LOWER
District Court Cost Less During 1918
Than Previously Mothers Pen:
,<-. sions Amounted to $1,555

In report complied by James L.
George, county auditor, is shown the
amount of money expended during
the years 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912
and 1913, for the carrying on of the
county's business. While the report
carries with it some interesting
items from taxpayers point Of
view, it was compiled by the auditor
for his own convenience and is not
required by law. {,
The report shows that in 1909 the
money expended by the county
amounted to $310,7S0, in 1912,
$642,3S1 and last year $779,6S1. A
large portion of the increase in 1913
over that of the year before was
caused by the large amount Of ditch
work which was carried on and
which took $32s,SS4.
Court Expenses Small .
One of the most noticeable drops
in the expenses of the county was
caused by district court, there being
a difference Of more than $4,000 in
the last two years. p.
The report of the auditor shows
that $20,845 were expended in SAL
aries and clerk hire during last year
and $19,401 during 1912. During
the first year of the mothers pension
law $1,555 were used. -
Decreases over the year before
were made in all other departments
of the county except that of supplies.
