Murder of Defenseless
Ones Been Revived.

The details of the sinking at sea of
the steamer Ancona are lacking, but
what is known is sufficient. It is an
established fact that passenger yes
sci, loaded with defenseless men,
women and children, some of. the lat
ter babies, was torpedoed and sunk
at sea by submarine flying the Aus
trian flag. The circumstances are
not known, the number Of survivors
is still matter of mere conjecture,
a. well as the loss of Americans.
Upon the latter the course Of the
United States depends. If there were
Americans lost, as the first reports
indicate, then this country should
hold Austria Hungary to the same
strict accountability to which we
pledged ourselves to hold Germany
We have no submarine controversy
with Austria Hungary and the warn
ing to Germany cannot be made t.
apply.
But supposing, in the absence Of
definite information, that no Ameri-
can lives have been sacrificed ane
that no direct issue is raised between
the United States and Austria-Hun
gary. what shall then be said of thil
deliberate revival of submarin,
frightfulness? A passenger steamer
bound westward and therefore not II
be suspected of carrying either con
traband or reservists, her cabins ant
steerage laden with inoffensive non
combatants, many of them helpless
women and children, is summarily de
stroyed as were the Falaba, the Lusi
tania and the Arabic. No militar,
purpose ID served. Italy, whose fla
the Ancona flew, is not perceptibl,
hurt. Murder, wholesale and DELHI
crate, was perpetrated in defiance o
what Mr.. Oscar Strauss has so aptl
4 termed the conscience Of the worl
and we have another horror whic
i will stain the history Of Austria
Hungary as indelibly as the Lusitani
crime stains that Of Germany.

A Harmless Shot.
The few who are opposed to Will
Knots election for governor, well
knowing that his record as faithful
public servant is without flaw, are
resorting to innuendo to create pre-
JUDGE against him.
For instance, last week these trick
sters discovered an awful mares
nest. 1t was found out that while
211 banks in the state paid license
taxes, there were SO state banks that
had not paid, and, of course, Knott
was to blame.
The license tax on state banks is
to be collected by the tax collectors
of the several counties and Knott, as
Comptroller, has nothing at all to dc
with it.
Chapter 6421, laws of Florida
proves this.
Shoot again. That shot is harm
less.-Jasper News.

The base of information furnish

Knott through the True Democrat at
Tallahassee has been punctured. The

The Sun thought at the time the
politicians were jollifying too soon
over the defeat Of woman's suffrage
last week. It is common failing Of
politicians to bank too much on the
early returns. Experience ought to
teach them some times that IL is last
returns that count most.--Gainesville

Thank You.
Pensacola is to be congratulated on
the success attending the Escambia
County Fair. There were as many as
five thousand paid admissions per
day and the exhibitions were sur

do lot of good in an advertising
way, attracting attention to the farm

now awaiting settlers.-St. Augustine

Fine Streets Here.

Fine Streets Here.
On our trip to Pensacola last week
we found the roads out of Roberts
dale good for few miles then we
struck the Old Spanish Trail of a
hundred years ago and with the ex-
ception of few miles there were no
roads until we crossed the Perdido,
when we could glide along at a fair
rate. The streets of Pensacola were
in fine condition and the seven mile
drive out to the Navy Yard was ele-
CANT. Yet they told us Escambia
county is figuring on spending ST.
100000 more on her roads. Should
not Baldwin county take notice? II
would be far better to spend a few
hundred thousand on needed roads in
the county than to merely build the
proposed delta road.-Robertsdale

FOUND HANGING FROM LIMB OF TREE
Ian of About 55 Whose Identity is Unknown, Discovered by Cornelius Beetham in Woods Of Wauwecus Hill Road-Took His Life by Means of Moose of Wire Watch Still Runnng-Letter Scrawled in Notebook Said He Didn't Want to be Burden.

On the left hand side of the Wauwe- GUS Hill road. about three-quarters of a mile beyond Love lane. and in the woods about 100 feet from the road, Cornelius Beetham saw a mans body hanging from the limb of a tree as he was driving home from Norwich about noon on Wednesday. He saw that the man was dead and notified the select mems office. and shortly after Coroner Franklin H. Brown was informed of the case by Street Commissioner Lilli- bridge. The coroner went up about 2 o'clock in Undertaken c. A. Gager'S auto ambulance.
 Suspended by Five-F Foot Wire.
 The body of a man about 55 years of age was hanging from the limb of a tree by a twisted wire around his neck five feet long, so that he swung about IS inches above the ground. The tree was about eight inches in diameter and the bruises on the bark of the trunk and several limbs indicated that the man had climbed up, fastened the wire to the limb and then let himself down. His gold Waltham watch was still running when the coroner arrived.
 The suicide appeared to be German about 55 years of age. His height was about five feet, seven or eight inches, and his weight TO pounds. He was of light complexion, with gray hair and muStache, and a three or four days growth of beard. He wore a blue serge suit of clothes and tan shoes.

Out Accomplishments of State Cham ber of Commerce.

In looking over the accomplishments of the Connecticut Chamber of Com merce during the last few months, we cannot but feel encouraged and proud of what we were able to do,- says Pres7 ident Frank H. Johnston in the July issue of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce Bulletin. The spirit of get together has been the sort that accom- plishes things. It has been shown that if this body will but once realize the power that lies in the hands and stand together for those things that it wants, that there will be nothing that it cannot accomplish.
 After the preliminary work of last fall, going over a great mass of pro- posed legislation and selecting those measures that we believed to be for the greatest good of the greatest num- Der, every constituent body in the state association got back of the officers and the legislative committee with enthu- siasm and determination, and today we can make the proud boast that every measure backed by us was passed and signed by the governor and most of them exactly as the chamber asked they be enacted.
 The Connecticut Chamber of Com merce is bound to be a powerful inf1u- ence in solving the problems of the state of Connecticut and of our sep arate communities, he continues. There is no limit to what we can accomplish. It's only a matter of concerted and united effort.

YOUTH OF ss ADOPTED.
Mir. and Mrs. Joseph E. Carpenter

 A youth of S3 was adopted by Mir. and Mrs. J. E. Carpenter and family of Preston at t5eir reunion on July 4, The Bulletin is informed.
 c. l.. Chapman, who the past de- eade has passed his birthday nearly every year with the family as a valued friend was on hand for another cele- bration of the birth of a Nation and incidentally his own birthday, 1t being the S3rd. The fine weather added to the enjoyment of the day and everyone was filled with joy to greet each other again, and enjoy the feast of sea- son and flow of bowl, sandwiches by the noon day feast prepared by Mrs. Carpenter and daughters who are unsurpassed in that line. During the temporary absence of MT. Chapman the company resolved itself into a committee of the whole and debated the question of adopting MT. Chap man into the family. The vote was unanimous in favor and he was de- family with all its rights and priv ildges with the title of Grandfather Chapman.
 The innocent victim of the con- spiracy under his plate at dinner his credentials with expression of love and good wishes that melted the heart of the poor boy.
 A substantial present was enclosed and the surprise was perfect.

CUT OUT ANNUAL RIDE.
Army Officers Having to Be Relieved
 of the Strenuous Exercise.

Officers stationed at Forts Wright, Terry and Michie, which comprise the coast defenses of Long Island sound, are interested in the announcement that the annual go mile horseback ride for officers of the United States army may be abolished. There is a proposi- ton for substituting 20 mile ride or 10 mile walk each month Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott. chief of staff of the army. has both plans under eonsidera- tion.
 The 10 mile walk is already a rule in the navy, and is being carried on by officers of the navy and of the marine corps.
 The 90 mile annual ride has been a rule of the army for the past few years. The officers at the island forts have no horses, so it was necessary for them to get mounts when the time for the ride arrived. They usually came to the mainland and made the ride, though sometimes at Fishers Island they sim ply rode around until the prescribed distance had been covered.

 There was no signature. In the book was also found receipt for $10, made out at Springfield, Mass, but with no date. to James Newton from M. Goldstein. There was a newspaper clipping describing the French de- struction of some German trenches.
 It seemed apparent that the man had taken pains that there should be noth- ing to disclose his identity. The re- port that the suicide was William Nolan of the Falls was discredited at once by several who looked at the body Wednesday evening in Undertaken Gagers morgue.
 Both arms of the suicide were dec orated with tatto figures. On his right was the figure of a woman, face and bust, while on the left was the full figure Of a ballet dancer.
