The collections already received will
total about 5000 and it is believed that
contributions from lodges and other

an additional 500.
The baskets of supplies have been

work to the successful outcome of the
undertaking. The tree will be beauti-
fully decorated with hundreds of manv

sparkling decorations. A great star
adorns the top, and the hundreds Of
lights dotting its surface, give bril-

A persistent ruimor has been going

few days that detectives have been
at work In Anderson for some time
rounding up all the blind tigers in
the city and that now the sleuths have
evidence to convict three-fourths OF
the evil doors within the city.
One man said yesterday that two
detectives arrived in Anderson over
three weeks ago and at once began TO
work. collecting evidence against the
dealers in liquor and that they had
now collected all the evidence they
wanted. According to this man, the
detectives have discovered that An
derson, instead OF being free from H.

number of the more prominent OF
these. 1t is understood that the de-

In the center between Rheims and

early in the week, there has beeu
most desperate fighting, the Germans
taking the Offensive and accordtnp

some attacks in the Woevre district
without success but they again have
crossed the Lorraine frontier ann

The French have captured addit-

their success In Galicia where a third

the important fortress of Jaroslau,
on the River San, north of Przemysl,

tory over the Austrians, who thus fur
have suffered severely on all sides.
This engagement occurred near Krou-

accounts for the Servian evacuation

USE OF WIRELESS
(By Associated Prcss.)

New York Sept. 22-The Marconi
wireless Telegraph company Of Am

preparing papers for suit in the fed
eral courts to determine whether the
United States government has the
right and power to close it's plants for
not observing the naval neutrality reg
ulations.
Edward j. Nally, vice-president and
general manager, made an announce
ment In statement setting forth the
present position of the company in re-
gard to its controversy with the navy
department.
Mr.. Nally said that the following
telegram was sent to Josephus Dam
iels, secretary OF the navy, after the
company had been informde today that
Its station at Siasconsot, Mass, would

eve have been unable to secure

owing to the unwillingness of the de-
partment to give 1t out. In view OF
the very important fact involved and
public and private injury that would
be caused by forcible action, we sug-
gesc that such action be withheld
long enough for US to submit the uues-
ton to the decision OF a federal court
In suit, papers for which are now be-
ing prepared"
I'VE desire, the statement reads.
to correct any impression that the pub
lie may have that the Marconi Con1pa-
ny Is wilfuliy trying to eYade the neu-
trality laws Of the United States. We
are endeavoring to the utmost OF our
ability TO conform TO every require
rlent of a neutral citizen of this coun
try. We take the position that the
reception and transmission of the mes
sages from our stations are not forbid
den by any law OF neutrality.
II 1t is unneutral for the Marconi
Company to receive a message from q
British war vessel at sea, 1t is quite
as unneutral for telegraph or cable
company to receive or forward a mes
sage to or from Canada, France or Ger
many; yet 1t is indisputable that citi-
zens of this country have right to
