He lies too much. One may
very well lie sometimes, but al
ways is too much. "
"A great captain ought to say
to himself several times a day:
If the enemy appear on my front,
my right or my left, what should

barrassed. he is ill posted.
when king is said to be a
kind man, the reign is a failure. :"
"The heart of a statesman
should be in his head"

great men. 1t is the duty of SOW

Startling Developments In
Famous helms Mystery

Atlanta, Ga. Aug. pa startI-
ing development in the famous
NelmS Sisters mystery came up
yesterday afternoon when IT was
declared in San Antonion, Texas,
that trunk shipped by Victor f.
Innes from the house he had occu-
pied IN San Antonion had been
traced and located and found to
contain an enormous, meat grind
ing machine and several ibutcher
knives, wrapped in women's gar
ments. This, coupled with the ar
rest of completely in the girls dis
appearance, is taken by the Texas
officials as being rather gruesome
clew.
Innes himself is now in the
Portland jail, while his wife is un-
der arrest, but not jailed, on ac-
count of her bad health. Charges
of murder were filed against them
in San Antonio by Marshall Nelms
the brother of the missing girls.
The warrant charges specifically
that lnnes administered poison to
the two girls. helms says a strange
Oriental poison picked up by Inpes
in Eastern travels was used.
Young helms will leave San
Aptonlon with the Texas Sheriff to
take charge OF lines at Portland
and bring him and his vie back
to San Antonion, scene of the al
legged crime.
He declared before leaving that
he would take pistol with him
and kill them both.

GERMANS SEEK COAL
Cargo Consigned to U. S. Navy
Station Is in Danger.

San Francisco, Aug. 12.-The Ger

this evening for coal. As the Custom
House closed at p. m. formal applica-
ton for coal cannot be made by the
German consul, Franz Bopp, until to-
morrow The Leipzig is expected to
Law at anchor through the night.
The Leipzig can get sufficient coal
to take her TO the nearest home port,
which is Halnali, Island of Savaii, Ger.
man Samoa, distant between two and
three weeks steaming.
The Nurnberg, which is of this
port. was at Honolulu, and she is not
eligible 10 call for coal at another
American port for three months, subse-
auent to the date of her departure, I'M
less in the mean time she has touched
at a home port. Inasmuch as she was
sighted west Of Honolulu on July 20,
near Midway Island, this is not be-
lieved possible. Either she must cap
ture coal soon or put back to Samoa.
A British tramp steamer laden with
coal consigned TO the United States
coaling station on San Francisco Bay
is due here soon. As ship under the
registry of a hostile nation this collier
is technically liable to capture.
