TOBACCO GROWERS ARE
ENCOURAGED by BRYAN

Padueah, KY. Nov. 16.-Secre-
tary of State w. J. Bryan sent a long
telegram from Washington, to the
Paducah Board of Trade regarding
the shipment of tobacco to foreign
countries. Buyers and growers in
the Black Patch are worried over
the scarcity OF ships In which to ship
tobacco, and the large cost that will
be entailed. Secretary Bryan's let
ter-telegram follows:
80 far as the department has
been informed. none of the belliger-
ents has listed tobacco as either
absolute or conditional contraband
of war and apparently no difficulty
should be experienced in the expor-
tation of tobacco to any for
eign country, including the bell
ligerents. The Department will
gladly cooperate with any move
ment to have the belligerents give
specific assurance that shipments of
tobacco to European countries will
not be interfered with and when
the action of the belligerents to-
ward such shipments may justify any
apprehension on the part OF Ameri-
can exporters OF the interruption

100 PERSONS INDICTED
IN VOTE FRAUD PROBE
Many Public Officials Are Among
AcCused-TriaIs Begin
January I.

Pikeville, Ky, Nov. 1.-THE
Pike county grand jury adjourned
this afternoon, breaking all records
for a probe of election frauds in this
State, when it reported indictments
against LOO persons who are

The grand jury was in session
forty-seven days and was under the
direction of Judge J. M. Robertson.
A special session of the Pike coun-
ty Circuit Court has been called to
convene January /, when these
cases will be tried
The enormity of the frauds be-
came apparent soon after the grand
jury began its investigation, and an
extension of time was frequently
asked for. In ali. 1875 witnesses
were examined, and the Wholesale
indictments include more than half
the public officials of the county who
are charged principally with accept
ing railroad passes and perjury, re-
vealing a DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde
career among many of them, which
has aroused interest to fever heat.
1t is freely predicted that serious
trouble will result when the cases
come up for trial in January, and
the court is taking steps to be pre-
pared for any eventuality.
The grand jury conducting the in
vestigation was composed OF four
Democrats. four Republicans and
four Progressives. indictments were
returned against 474 other persons
during the session. who are charged
with various other crimes.

ENGLISH NAvYS. PR|OE
GOES TO SEAS BOTTOM
Crew Of 800 Men and Officers
Rescued By Boats From
Olympic.

New York, Nov. 14.-Rumors of
disaster to the British superdread-
nought Audacious, which have per-
sisted ever since the White. Star IL
ner Olympic, diverted from her
course, arrived at Loughswilly on
October 20, are confirmed in mail
advices received to-day by the Asso-
ciated Press from point in Ireland.
After career of less than two
years, the Audacious, of the King
George v. class-third in tonnage
and armament of His Majesty's war
ships-lies at the bottom of the
ocean off the coast of Ireland. She
was hit by tornado or disabled by
a mine just before 9 o'clock on the
morning of October 81. With the
possible exception of one or two
men. the whole crew of 500 officers
and men was rescued by mail boats
from the Olympic. (
The rescue was made in a rough
sea through brilliant and daring
seamanship on the part of the White
Star crew.
The battleship's cry for assistance
was caught by the wireless operator
of the Olympic, which was only
about ten miles distant. The steam
er rushed forward at full speed,
while her crew made ready for their
work. Volunteers were called for
and double the number necessary to
man the lifeboats responded. The
crippled battleship was reached
few minutes before Q o'clock, and
before noon all but 100 of her men
had been transferred.
BY that time the battleship had a
decided list at the stern. where. just
below the water line, she had re-
ceived her wound. Two of her en-
gines were unframed. but the one
aft was put out of commission.

A German Spy Paid the
Death Penalty.
FIRST EXECUTION SINCE 100
Travelling Under Guise Of a
Tourist. He Spied Out
the Country.
wEPT AS HE GAVE TESTIMONY

London, Nov. 1.-THE court
martial which found Carl Hans Lody,
alias Charles A. Inglis, to be guilty
of espionage November 2. was the
first convened in England for many
generations. From the firsst his
case was regarded as hopeless and
Lody practically threw himself on
the mercy of the Court.
Lody met his death by shooting in
the Tower of London, the official
press bureau announced. The state
brief, merely said:
Sentence was duly confirmed"
It is understood that Lody died
gamely, refusing to the last to re-
veal the name of the superior officer
from whom he received his instruc.
tions to spy on the British navy.
This was the first execution in ;he
Tower of London since 1900. The
scene of the execution was the
Tower Barracks, not far from the
spot where Anne Boleyn and other
persons, famous in English history.
were put to death. LOdy was about
20 years old.
In the case presented for the
Crown it was shown that, although
he claimed to be an American and
spoke English fuently, Lody was in
reality a German subject. He posed
as tourist and in this capacity
visited London. Liverpool, Edin-
burgh and Dublin.
Early in August last he obtained
a passport from the American En-
bassy in Berlin under the name of
Charles A. Inglis, and, armed with
this, started tour of Great Britain.
from whence he forwarded valuable
reports to Berlin, describing British
ornaments and locations of troops
and ships. 1t was shown that when
arrested he claimed to be an Amer
lean and was travelling in company
with John w. Lee, of Minneapolis.
Lody took the stand in his own
defense. He admitted that he had
received instructions In Berlin last
summer to pose as an American and
visit England, remaining there until
the first naval engagement had been
fought between England and Ger
many. when he was to forward in
regarding the actual
British losses. He was then to pro-
coed to New York. but to be careful
not to give the appearance of doing
any spying.
Weeping as he testified, Lody do
clared that 1t had been his intention
to become an American citizen, and
said that he held membership in
several New York societies. He
that at one time he |
had served ON Emperor Williams |
yacht. the Meteor. and that he had
been a Senior Lieutenant |
In the German navy.
Lody's lawyer admitted that his
;lient had taken risks. and said that
ne had thought 1t his highest duty
% do SO. He did not appeal against
! conviction. but asked that the ex-
RENE penalty be not imposed.
IF death should be exacted. how
,ver," he said in conclusion. 'the
prisoner will meet it like a man."
Lody once was employed as a
'uide by tourist agency in New
FORK. and also worked for the Union
'acific Railroad in Omaha.
He married the daughter of
iottlieb Stor2. wealthy Omaha
'rewer. who divorced him about

said they were coming here to blow
