NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-The British
dreadnaught Audacious, one of the
largest and most heavily armored ships
of King Georges immense navy, lies
at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean, a
few miles off the north coast of Ire
land, as the result either of being tor
pedoed by a German submarine or of
having struck one of the numerous
contact mines known to be drifting in
that part of the world.
Information concerning the fate of
the Audacious, which has not been per-
mitted to pass the British censor, was
received here today in letter to the
Associated Press from correspon-
dent, whose veracity is beyond ques-

SUPREME COURT
REFU SES Sc 7
ASIDE VERDICT
(By Associated Press.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 14.-The su-
preme court of Georgia this Afternoon
refused to set aside the verdict by
which Leo NJ. Frank, superintendent
of the National Pencil Company, was
convicted here on August 25, 1913 of
the murder of Mary Phagan, a young
girl, formerly employed in the factory
where Frank was superintendent.
This is the second time Franks case
has been before the state supreme
court and on each occasion decision
odvorse to Frank has been rendered.
The appeal just decided was based up
on the ground that Franks constitu-
tional privilege had been violated in
that he was not present in the court
room when the jury returned its ver-
dict, though his counsel had prev
;ouslv agreed that he be not brought
into court for fear an outbreak might
y woccur should the verdict be one of
acquittal.
The case, one of the hardest fought

houses at the end of October this year
than last, gives an idea of the infu-
ence of the war on the cotton market.
The census department in its bulle-
tin issued today is optimistic of a
speedy improvement of conditions. The
fact that during the first half of No.
vember the expectation of cotton has
increased materially indicates that the
market will improve and that cotton
will bring better price.
The announcement that the cotton
exchanges would open on Nov. is, has
further increased the optimistic feel
ing in cotton circles.

CONSULS FORCED.
To SIGN PAPERS
BEFORE THEY CAN
LEAVE TURKEY.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Nov. Alt was learned
here today that the British and French
consuls were forced to sign papers
giving the Turkish government the
privilege of committing atrocities in
th@ir name before they were allowed
to we Damascus.
These papers allow the Turks to
murder in cold blood three British,
French and Russian subjects, for ev-
cry Turk killed, in event that the AL
lies attack Syrian forts.
This breach of international cour-
'tesy has never before been equalled.
But while the people of England are
incensed by the action of the Turkish
government, still they are far from
pleased by the action of the consul
who signed the document in order to
escape with his own life.

ALLIES WIN FROM
GERMAN FORCES
NEAR NEWPORT
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Nov. 14.-Today's fighting
around Nieuport, where the Germans
renewed their attack early this morn
ing, has been of a most desperate ma
ture, the attackers being repulsed and
driven back in the direction of Bruges
BY the Allies. The French Official re-
port issued this afternoon says often
sive movements around Ypres have
been recommended by the Germans but
these were checked without serious
loss, the Germans being severely pun
ished.
In the region of the Forest of the
Argonne, where the densely wooded
nature of the country has afforded ex-
cellent cover for the Anglo-French de-
tending forces, the German began an
offensive movement today, but we're
unable to make any substantial adj
vance. In this region the fighting con-
tinues briskly this afternoon.
Along the rest of the long battle line
in northern France conditions are re-
ported as comparatively quiet, with on
" desultory fighting at widely sepa-
rated points.

the big battleship is given in today's
communication as October 9th, but
all news concerning the event has
been vigorously suppressed by the
British military and naval authori-

The Audacious, which ranked as the
third largest battleship of the English
navy and carried crew of eight hun
dred men went down within an hour
after the explosion which tore a
great hole in her bottom. Most of the

FIRST DIVIDEND
FOR DEP0S|TORS
PAYABLE MONDAY

The first dividend of ten per cent.
! due and payable to creditors and de-
! positors of the defunct Americus Ma
tional Bank, which went to the wall
with resounding crash in February
last, with an Indebtedness of very near
half millionl dollars, including its
swept-away capital stock of 100000
will be made on Monday at the former
banking house here, where creditors
holding vouchers of Indebtedness will
receive checks due them.
Official announcement to this effect
is published by Receiver A. w. Smith
elsewhere in the Times-Recorder this
afternoon, and will be of intense in
terest to thousand or twelve hun
dred loosers by the banks failure.
The amount required for the first
dividend payment has been received
here from the Treasury Department
and is on deposit in one of the local
banks. Upon presentation to Receiver
Smith of the certificates of indebted
ness issued some time ago by former
Receiver T. C. Dunlap, checks will be
issued individual creditors which upon
presentation at the Bank of South
Western Georgia, will be paid
promptly.
The sum thus to be distributed
among creditors in Americus is about
$4,000, although the sum of $4,000
has been sent here, a goodly portion
of which is for creditors and deposit
ors elsewhere.
Receiver Smith had requested of the
comptroller of the Currency some time
since that the sum total of the first
dividend be sent here in cash, thus
adding materially to the circulating
medium. AS courtesy this request
has been complied with, and the ac-
tual cash will be distributed here.
Many people, who lost their all in the
defunct bank, need this returned pit
tance sorely and will gladly receive
even this small portion of what is due
them.
Every depositor whose claim has
been approved holds a certificate
thereto, and these certificates must be
presented Receiver Smith, who in re-
turn will issue depositors checks
therefor. Such payment will begin
Monday next, and continued from day
to day until all have been paid

ANTWERP, Nov. 14-Orders to
Smash up the windmills anywhere
within ten miles of any possible en-
gagement" have been issued by officials
of the Allied armies.
1t has been found that the Flemish
windmills are as dangerous es they are
picturesque.
The Germans were quick to avail
themselves of these high windmills as
signal stations and both by day and
night they made use of them in many
of the fights in Flanders.

rate would be too high if they remain
ed. Hence Dixmude is ours again.
"The Germans have made a slight
advance against Ypres, but it is doubt
full if they hold the village of st.
Eloi.
"At LaBasse the Germans are at
tempting to drive wedge into the Al
lied line by a concentrated gun fire.
There has been considerable bulge in
the line here for some time, but the
Allies hold their positions on either
flank"

Newark Giants Win

The Newark Giants defeated
Buttonwood Saturday by the score
of 7 to 3. The Giants played a
snappy game. The feature of the
game was the playing of Harry Sc
gars at third base, and the pitching
of Wilson. Segars made some nice
stops of bad thrown balls. and
made a home run. Wilson let But
tonwood down with five hits. Win
gate Of the visitors also pitched
good ball. He held the heavy hit
ting Giants to seven hits, three of
which were of the scratch order.

Ask For Delaware Flag

Governor Miller recently has re-
ceived letter from the American
Commissioner General of the An
glo-American Exposition, notifying
him that the opening ceremony at
Shepherd s Bush, London, took
place last Thursday. He was re-
quested to present the American
Section of the Exposition with the
State Flag of Delaware.
The flag is to be flown over one of
the buildings devoted to the Ameri-
can section, and also over the main
entrance to the exposition on the
occasion of Delaware State Day,
July 6. The idea of State days
has been received with warm ap-
proval by several governors and a
number of them have already ex-
pressed their willingness to present
their State flag to the Exposition
authorities on the other side of the
Atlantic.

A Day At A Time

Only a day at a time. There may
never be a tomorrow.
Only day at a time and that we
can live
We know,
The trouble we cannot bear is only
the trouble we borrow,
And the trials that never come are
the ones that fret us so.
Only a step at time. 1t may be
the angels bend 'er us,
To bear us above the stones that
wound our feet by the way,
The step that is hardest of all is
not the one just before us
And the path we dread most may
be smoothed another day.

Continental started off like a WIN
ner. scoring three runs IN the nfst
inning. Tinsman who was on the
mound for the visitors tlghtened
up after that and blanked the Con-
tinental for the next thirteen con-
secutive innings. Whiteman had
the best of the argument until ne
weakened in the fourteenth and
Richardson Park hammered IN five
runs and won the game. Whlteman
famed 10 and Tinsman 13.
Georgetown High School proved
an easy proposition for the local
high school team Monday after
noon when Newark won by the
score of II to 2. The visitors were
completely outclassed and could
do nothing with the delivery OF
Chillas. Georgetown scored their
first run in the sixth inning when
ball hit by Townsend to left field
got in the tall grass and was not
found until the player had made
the circuit.
Townsend pitched fair ball for
Georgetown after the fourth inning
While. hit hard he was also given
poor support up until that time.
Anderson, who covered third IN
place of Captain Green, made three
hits.

SCHEDULE FOR THIS WEEK
Elk Mills at Newark.
Elkton at Aberdeen.
Rising Sun at Oxford.
Newark post., 1914-05-20

Jake Hogan, the crack southpaw
of the local Tri-County League
team not only pitched air tight ball
against Rising Sun on Saturday
but also won his own game by a
timely double in the ninth inning,
scoring A. Beatty. 1t was a battle
between southpaws and while
Hogan had a shade the best of Tay-
lor all the way, Newark could not
deliver the punch at the right time
until Hogan made his drive in the
ninth.
Not for many years has better
game been seen in Newark. Until
he struck here Taylor had been
having his own way against the
other clubs and had not lost game.
How near he came to repeating on
Saturday the score will show.
While he was touched up in spots
the clever little southpaw did his
best work in the pinches and New
ark was unable to squeeze run
across until the final inning. Tay-
lor was pitching baseball when
Hogan was in kilties and as far
back as 1902 as a member of the
Brandywine club of West Chester
he took part in the famous 81 900
game between Wilmington and
Brandywnie at the Athletic Park,
Philadelphia, which Wilmington
won 3 to 2. Taylor started to pitch
that game for Brandywine but was
relieved by Steventon in the first
inning. That great game is still
talked of by baseball fans through
out Delaware.
Taylor it pitching as good ball
this year as any time in his career
but at that he has nothing on the
local twirler. While he may lack
some of the experience Hogan has
more stuff than Taylor ever had
Hogan was at his best after the
first inning on Saturday. In that
inning he walked two men but
frightened up and had perfect con
troll the remainder of the game. HI
famed 10 while Taylor had but
one strike out. The Newark clul
had perfect day in fielding ant
consequently all of the seven scat
tered hits made O: Hogan were
wasted.
AS is generally the case the fin
ish Of the game came suddenly
With two out in the ninth A. Beat
ty singled and stole second from
where he scored on Hogan's s double
The score follows:
Newark post., 1914-05-20

Newark s infeld gave Hogan the
kind Of support on Saturday that
encourages a twirler and gives him
heart to work hard.
They all look good when winning
and that is probably what Oxford
thought of Elkton.
Bonnet bested Sweitzer in
pretty pitchers battle.
Elk Mills comes here for a return
game next Saturday and there
should be a large crowd on hand.
Hogan is anxious to get even for
the defeat at his former home two
weeks ago.
President Kay has chance now
to put a stop to rough work by
players on the field by his action in
the Aberdeen case.
In addition to being one Of the
best twirlers in the league Hogan
is also some sticker.
Because Of a number of the play
ers being entered IN the inter-
scholastic field and track meet at
Delaware College, the Penn-Mar
League games scheduled for last
Saturday were postponed.

FIGHT AT ABERDEEN-ELK
MILLS GAME
In addition to seeing good base
ball game the spectators at the Abb
erdeen-Elk Mills game played at
Aberdeen on Saturday also witnes-
sed a disgraceful affair, when ac-
cording to reports one OF the Alb
erdeen players attacked Umpire
Gibson because he had been put out
of the game for kicking. The
Jump" is said to have been knock
ed down by the pugilistic player
who, however, was compelled to
leave the game.
Now would be an excellent time
for President Kay, if the report is
true Of the fight, to show his author
ity and let the players know that he
is boss as far as the action of play
ers on the field is concerned. In or
ganized baseball player for such
an offense would be banished at
least for several weeks and probab-
| ly for the remainder Of the season.
The fans throughout the circuit will
await with interest the action Of
President Kay in this case. No mat
ter what the provocation player
who attacks an umpire on the field
is guilty Of an offense which should
keep him out of the game for some
time. Spectators do not pay their
money to see such disgraceful
scenes and it is to be hoped that the
leagues executive will make an ex-
ample of the Aberdeen player, if
after an investigation he finds the
umpire was attacked. Aberdeen
won the game from Elk Mills large
ly through the fine pitching of Bon
net who allowed but two hits.
Sweitzer also pitched clever ball.

GREEN'S INJURY HANDI-
CAPS HIGH SCHOOL

The Newark High School baseball
team will be handicapped the re-
mainder of the season by the loss Of
Captain Green. In a game with
the Delaware College Scrubs on Joe
Frazer field last Thursday Green
broke his left wrist when he collid-
ed with Ferguson in going after
| fly ball. Green had been playing
wonderful game this season and his
hitting had helped to win several
games for the high school boys.
The high school had the Scrubs
2 to 0 until the seventh inning
when their infeld crumbled and
the Scrubs scored three runs just
enough to win 3 to 2. Anderson,
who took Green s place at third
did fairly well and made the hit
that scored the high schools first
run. 1t was hard game for Chill
las to lose as he held the Scrubs to
three hits.
DELAWARE PLAYED LOOSE
GAME
Delaware played miserable
game against Washington College
last Friday and was defeated I to
y. No matter how good the team it
seems that Delaware in no line Of
sports can play it's usual game
against the boys from Chestertown
and consequently they walk off
with the bacon in most Of the events
where the two meet. Washington
has been looked on as Delaware s
hoodoo" for years and it seems
to stick. The blue and gold easily
defeated Swarthmore, while the
Quakers trimmed Washington and
then the latter came here and made
the local college team look foolish.
Such comparisons appear peculiar
but then the uncertainty is what
makes the national game so popu-
lar.
Buck" Hoch pitched fair ball,
but his support was ragged. Do
herty had a bad day while the re-
liable Fidance missed an easy
chance which gave the visitors two
runs. Hoch helped matters along
by making couple of errors him
self. The visiting twirler did not
seem to have curve but E. Hoch,
who got three Of Delaware s four
hits was the only player who could
do anything with his delivery.
After pitching great ball for
thirteen innings Whiteman of the
Continental Fibre team weakened
in the fourteenth against Richard
son Park on Saturday and the lat
ter team won s to 3. 1t was the
most exciting game of the season.
