Crushed and Home Burned.

Miami, Fla, Nov. PA. 4.
BOggs, a prominent Florida attorney.
and his daughter, Marjorie, | s years
old, were found murde, ed early to-
day in the charred aims of their
home near here. The residence,
which was one of the most costly
country homes in this section, had
been set on fire with the evident
intention Of concealing the double
murder.
The bodies were discovered by
neighbors who had been attracted to
the scene by the flames, which they
Nainly cndeavored to cXtinguish.
Mystery surrounds the crime and
the motive. The skulls Of both vic
Tins had been crushed by some
heavy, blunt instrument and both
bodies were found in the hall near
the front door Of their home.
Miss Boggs had attended a party
in the neighborhood last night, re-
turning home shortly after midnight.
Her charred remains indicated she
was fully dressed when the fatal blow
was struck.

GERMANS HAVE NoIsELEss GUN.
r.. ID. Swinton Makes Interesting Re-

London, Nov. 27.-A silent gun -
the latest weapon to be brought for
ward for the Germany army in
France. according TO = narrative by
Col. f.. ID. Swinton, British efewit-
ness at the front. The narrative.
dated November %, was given out
here Wednesday by the official press
bureau. 1t says:
"In our center the enemy EN-
piOycd a silent gun, which may be
pneumatic or worked by some me-
chaniCal Contrivance. There is no
report Of the discharge; the projec-
tile travels through the air without
any Of the warning made by the Or
dinary shell, and the first notice of
its arrival is the detonation. SO far
the weapon has done no damage"
The account says the trenches Of
the opponents are at some points
nearly 40 yards apart. The English
and Germans talk back and forth,
hold shooting competitions and eX-
change tobacco.
"The"e the positions are not un-
welcome 10 our men," the account
continues, for they, al any rate, are
secure from shell fire, the hostile ar.
tillery being unable to shoot in the
fear ii wouid init its own Infantry"

the trenches, the narrative says, but
the drop in the temperature makes
the men so stiff that many nave to h
lifted out Of the trenches when re-
li"v"d. and others are sent partly !ro
zen to hospitals.
"BCyond the hardships inflicted on
individuals, Col. Swinton says. "tho
change i'm the weather chiefly has at
feCtcd aerial reconnaissance and
transport. The freezing makes the
roads better and the clear, crisp at.

BRITISH MARINE DISASTER.
Only l2 Out of 700 or 500 OF Bul-
Warll'S Crew Survive.

London, Nov. 26.--It was officially
announced here that the British bat
tleShip Bulwark had been blown up
off SheCrnesS. Only twelve men out
OF the 700 or 500 on board the Bull
wark were saved.
According to the admiralty, the eX-
ploSiOn which resulted in the destruc-
tiOn OF the Bulwark is believed to
have originated in her own magazine.
The announcement OF the disaster
to the Bulwark was made by Win
ston S. Churchill, first lord OF the
admiralty, shortly before / o'clock
this afternoon.
Magazine Exploded.
The explosion which destroyed the
Bulwark occurred at 7.55 a. m A
vice admiral and rear admiral who
were at Sheerness reported that they
were convinced that the disaster was
caused by a magazine explosion.
There was no upheaval of the water.
When the smoke had cleared the ship
had entirely disappeared
An inquiry will be held tomorrow.
and the admiralty believes that it
may throw some light on the occur
renee.
Mr.. Churchill, speaking in the
House of Commons concerning the
disaster, said:
"The loss Of the ship does not SEN
sibly affect our military position, but
regret the loss of life, which was
very heavy. Only twelve men were
saved. All the officers and the rest
OF the crew, which, suppose,
amounted to 700 or 500, persisted"
The force OF the explosion aboard
the boat was so great that houses in
Sheerness and even in SOuthcnd. 7
miles away, and on the other side of
the Midway, were violently shaken.
The people fled into the streets in
alarm. When the great ship blew
up dense clouds OF smoke and flame
"'"' ih'' thc 'ii' Hc NcSSSl QlSaD-
peared beneath the waves in three
minutes. So terribly was the Bull
wark rent that it was impossible to
render her any assistance. Immedi-
ately after the explosion the vessel
was blotted out by smoke, and as the
veil slowly lifted handful OF men
were seen struggling in the water.
Small craft rushed to their aid and
picked them up. Some of the crew
were badly mutilated. A touch of
the dramatic was added to the catas-
trophe by the fact that the band OF
the Bulwark was playing when the
explosion came.

CERTAIN WAR PRACTICES
Not Favored by President Wilson.
Unonicial Notice Sent.

Washington, Nov. 27.-President
Wilson has communicated unonicially
to the diplomatic representatives of
the United States in the bclligcrCnt
countries Of Europe his disapproyal
Of attacks by bombs from air craft
dropped on unfortilied cities occupied
by nOn-COmbatants
The President was careful not to
take the matter up officially and did
not even make his communication
through the State Department, but
personally addressed the American
ambassadors abroad. He took this
course, 1T became known to-day,
nearly two months ago and the facts
came to light through the publica-
ton of a report that the President
had discussed the matter with Euro
pcan diplomats here. This, how
ever, was denied by some Of the
prominent diplomats mentioned in
connection with it, including the
German ambassador.
Just how the American diplomats
abroad were to convey President Will
sons feeling in the matter to the for
eign governments has not been dis
closed, as White House officials, in
the absence Of the President. de-
clincd to discuss the subject.
1t is believed here, however, that
tnn Drnsilnui rnllnI ~ ~, =
article in The Hague Convention 0I
1907, to which all the principal bel
ligCrcnts are Signatory, providing for
notice OF - hours before lombard
mont or attack in order that non
Conbatants may remove themselves
from the danger zone.
Whether there have been any un-
official responses from the bClliEer-
CntS was not known here to-day. but
American diplomats were instructed
by the President, it is understood. to
handle the matter with such discrc-
tion and dclicaCy as would tend to
end aerial attacks without notice and
at the same time preserve the friend
ship which the United States feels
toward all the belligerents involved.
1t is not believed that the Presi-
dent mentioned any specific violation.
but expressed his views on the gene
raj subject OF aerial attacks. Through
the unofficial character Of the COM
muniCatiOn, it was intended by the
HrCS:dcn; 80 bi'ing about 1t better un-
derstandinG about aerial warfare
without actually involving the Amer
lean government in the matter. 1t is
supposed that the American dipo-
mats used their good Offices, conse-
quently, in personal way with the
bclliScrcnt government, without. per-
haps, even mentioning the fact that
they were doing so at the request of
the President. as such methods Of OBJ
tanning a desired end are not unu-
Snal in diplomacy.
