Eufaula, August 9.-(SpeciaL)-On ac- count of the unsettled condition of affairs, the barbecue, which was to have been given by the merchants and business men of the city August 20, for the farmers and Confederate veterans of Barbour county and neighboring Georgia has been postponed indefinitely.
 The building and finance committees of the First Methodist Episcopal church to- day accepted the plans of Sayre x Bald- win of Charleston, S. C., for the new building to be erected by the church al a cost of $25,000 and which will take the place of the present structure, which was recently condemned as unsafe.
 Gilmore boys, whose home is near Cot ton Hill, this county when they found in an old and partially burned stump a watch that had been stolen 30 years ago The watch belonged to John Mcleod, who has since died. At the time a negro who was suspected of the theft was warned that he would be caught if he attempted to trade or sell the watch. It was never found however, until the boys playing in the neighborhood came upon the old timepiece in the stump, where watch was no worse for the wear and after a little shaking up and winding, is now keeping time again.

The negro was captured after a chase of several blocks. The officers entered his name on the book as Charles Lewis. It is alleged he took IA hens, several frying sized chickens and six geese from the back yard of Emma Stevens, 15O6 Third avenue.
 The negro was first discovered with the chickens in tow at Avenue B and Twenty-fourth street. He dropped his game and ran, the officers following him full tilt. He crawled under a nearby house. The officers followed The negro began scratching with both hands and feet, throwing dust in the eyes of the policemen. The pursued secured a good sized brick and hurled it.

WITNESSES DESCRIBE AWFUL
 SCENES OF BATTLE ON MEUSE

London, August 10.-(2:15 a. m)-The Daily Telegraph's Rotterdam correspond ent, in a dispatch filed Sunday, says:
 How deadly was the task the Ger mans undertook in rebuilding the bridge over the river Mouse Is shown by the Rotterdam Courant's correspondent at Maastricht. A pontoon bridge built by the Germans. he says, was shot away so that further troops could not cross it. The Twenty fifth and Nineteenth German regiments, which supported the bridge builders, were moved down by the quick firing guns. A wounded Belgian was asked how the Germans had fared and replied in one word. annihilated.'
 "The wounded who can be transported by rail are to be brought from the hos pitals at Maastrict to Alkmaar."
 Another correspondent who visited the battlefields at Wise and Liege, writes:
 Not far from the little Dutch frontier village of Mesch, I passed the remains of big German camp. Dead soldiers, civilians and horses and wagons, carts,

WELCHONCE GETS
 BACK INTO GAME Report Erroneous That He Would Be Out of
 Game for Season

The report that Harry Welchonce would be unable to play with the Atlanta clut again this season was contradicted yes- terday when the big centerfielder took the field. Welchonce relieved a fellow Crack CT late in the game. It is improbable that he will be in regularly for some time, but he may be depended upon foi the final spurt-
 The Crackers have been going badly of late. While the Smithmen have not hit especially hard faulty twirling is re- sponsible for the slump. Thompson and Collier have been unable to win, while Dent has not proved as effective as ex. pected. Williams slumped after heaving great ball. Perryman, alone, has pitched consistently.

automobiles and bicycles lay in confusion. Germans and Belgians lay side by side evidence that there was fighting man to man. Houses had been sacked because the soldiers wished to avenge themselves on civilians who fired on them.
 Civilians who did not fight are all lowed to pass. but German guards refuse to allow this courtesy to Belgian civilians who were engaged in the battle. Poor wretches. they must wait where they lie. not daring to move, for they declare they will be shot at.
 'I met a party of German officers in an automobile. They held their re- volvers in their hands and scrutinized me closely. They appeared to be dis pirited because of the fact that twice during the last two days there had been a panic and German soldiers had fired on comrades by mistake. They asked me not to speak in the presence of the wounded.
 After the constant fighting the sol diers were exhausted, but they lay on the side of the horses fully clothed ready to be reused at a moments notice.'

STEAMER BADLY
 INJURED BY CRASH

New York, August 9.-The steamer Iro- quois of the Manhattan line, crashed into the Berkshire of the Hudson Navigation company line, off Hastings today in a dense fog in the Hudson river, cutting IS feet into the BerlSshires counter and ripping her almost to the water line.
 Both boats were carrying passengers frcm Albany to New York the Berk- shire having nearly 1000 on board There was rush to the decks by her passen- gers In seanty clothing, but officers quickly treasured them and there was no panic. The Iroquois remained fast in the hole she had cut in the Berkshire S side and the vessels, locked together, drifted down the river to Dobbs ferry, wEere other steamers brought them to a a dock

WORKS SIGNS
 WITH ASHEVILLE

Works, star pitcher with the Detroit Tigers in the American league in 1911, a failure this season with Mike Finn S Memphis Turtles in the Southern league, and a free agent, has now cast his for tunes with Asheville class baseball organization
 Just at this time the Mountaineers are trailing in the dust of the Carolina league. In fact, Asheville may establish a worlds baseball record of it's own by starting the season in the cellar, staying there every day during the summer, and finishing ditto.
 Works, who has already joined the team, may be able to secure a few vic tories before the September days bring to an end a rather disastrous season in North Carolina.

THE ONLY SCHOOL OF
 BASEBALL PASSES


 The school is closed for the summer, ' said Carr a few days ago, and I don't think that it will be reopened. I have a big business to look after in Indianapolis, and l expect to put in all my time on it next year" This seems to indicate that he will not play with the Indianapolis Feds in 1915
 The baseball school was an experiment and like most experiments, it failed. There were but few of the men turned out who really did anything, and the ex- pense involved was heavy. It is said organized ball came through with $50,00O towards the project, and so probably Carr did not lose anything himself The plant was an extensive one near San Antonio, Tex, having nine diamonds There is a possibility that several ma jor league clubs will trains there next spring.

The Elections Today.

In the elections throughout the state
OF Washington today it has become
tolerably evident that the "silent
vote" will decide the issues, both OF
men and measures. Owing to the
laxity of the initiative law, the voters
are called upon to legislate on ten
laws, one of which, the statewide pro
hibition, threatens to overshadow all
other issues and to be large factor
in deciding between candidates. There
are seven initiative measures, two ref
erendums and constitutional amend.

mined.
It is safe to assume that in deter.
mining those measures, the prejudiced
pros and ants are about even, so that
the silent vote" will decide them in
the end. Radicalism, be it ever so
honest in intent or selfish interests
are seldom safe law makers, but this
country has so far managed to pos
sess a sufficient number of unbiased
voters to decide its problems in fair
ly satisfactory manner and it is to
be hoped the state of Washington will
act similarly today in settling the
vexed problems which confront it.
1t has been apparent since the open
ing of the campaign that this was not
a good year for party labels. The
independence in politics and in polit-
ical questions and candidates is more
marked this year than ever before,
and the Herald predicts a long job
for the election officers tonight in
counting the ballots on account of the
scattered votes cast.

ACCUSED OF FRAUD.
Indicted by Federal Grand Jury, F. z
Fenlin ls Arrested in Aberdeen
on Fraud Charge.

At an early hour Saturday morning,
F. E. Fenlin, formerly of Vancouver,
B. c., was arrested on a warrant
charging him with fraud as a result
of an indictment by federal grand
jury. The arrest was made at the re.
quest of Deputy United States Marsh
al Frank Alberts Of Tacoma who came
here to take the man to Tacoma. Eight
other men were indicted by the same
jury, it is understood, although the
officer from the Sound was close
mouthed on this subject.
Fenlin has been engaged in the mer-
camille business here for several
months. 1t is alleged Fenlin and 9TH
ers were instrumental in promoting a
lottery here and elsewhere under a
contract system which had for it's
alleged mission the promise of returns
by loans in the order in which they
made payments. A low rate of inter-
est was the incentive, it is claimed
on which the scheme was worked.
The contracts were supposed, it is
claimed to run for period of 10
years, but the government claims this
provision was not made in contracts.
