 Shortly afterWard a steamer be came visible which steamed toward the submarine. Ns the commander of the submarine, who believed the steamer to Ee an enemy cruiser, had to reckon with an attack, he submerged at 12:25. firing a torpedo into the foremost cargo hold of the Aucona. No more beats aboard the vessel were lowered although persons were still visible aboard.
 The steamer sank so slowly that the submarine commander at first doubt ed whether the steamer would sink. only at I:2G o'clock did il sink, bow first.
 During these further l. minutes, it is averred, all the persons aboard could have easily been saved with the available boats From the circum- stances that this did not occur the. commander concluded that he crew. contrary to all the rules of the seas accomplished their own rescue in the first boats and left the passengers to themselves.
 The entire loss of life. the note sets forth, cannot be attributable in the firot instance to the sinking of the vessel but in some degree 10 the dropping of the first hoats while the steamer was proceeding at full speed and to the fact that the crew only thought of their own safety and did not rescue the passengers from the capsized boats, though also to the shells which hit the fleeing vessel. Put tie death of the persons drowned with the sinking vessel must after all. be ascribed to the "culpable be- havior of the crew.

 It Is the opinion of the commissioners that there would be less protesting against paving if the situation were thoroughly understood by the citizens generally. It is not the sentiment o1 the commission that paving at high cost is necessary for the needs of the residential districts. TO the end that some class of paving may be found that will meet the requirements at d minimum of cost. the commission has adopted no less than nine different specifications as official and any or these may now be laid in any of tho districts.

 Then too, there is no desire on tho pare of the commission to force paving upon any district where more than fir ty-one per cent of the property owners arc opposed to paying for one reason or another.

JUNIOR Tennis TOURNEY
PLANNED BY LOCAL BOYS
Suitable Courts, However, Are Lack.
ing for Affair of This
Kind.
CLUBS MAY TAKE CHARGE
Promoters Hope to Gain Consent Of
Country Club or Hermitage Club
to Use Grounds-Such Tournn-
ments Are Encouraged in North.

Tentative plans, for n junior tennis
tournament for boys are being dis
cussed, and. while nothing definite has
been done. it is more than likely that
such an affair will be staged here this
spring. The chief drawback at the pres
ent time is lack of suitable courts,
although one OF the big clubs may be
ney.
There are fifty or more boys around
richmond who are DESTROYS OF taking
part i'll some sort Of competition of tn is
sort: Such tournaments are held am
nnally III the North. and II is believed
that the inauguration of one here every
spring would be beneficial to the game.
and would be the means of developinE
stars in the future.
One of the best OF these junior tour
naments Is the Junior metropolitan
Title Play. held annually on the courts
Of the West Side Tennis Club, Forest
Hills, n. Y. The meeting last autumn
attracted ninety-six players In the sim
bles. 1t was a diversified gathering of

would develop latent ability in n mum
her OF youngsters and would have n
tendency to populariZe the game In
Richmond. It would mean the construc-
ton OF moro private courts. and conse-
auently more players would get into
the game. All of this increase would
rebound TO the advantage Of the big
clubs. as the boys and girls OF to-day
are the club members of tomorrow.
Ii Is almost out OF the question to
hold Il tournament on the Byrd Park
courts. unless the grounds were. consid
ernbly fixed up. Then again. 1t needs
some one with experience to take hold
Of such an affair. The proper ones TO
do so are the tennis officials OF 9th or
