And The HOllanderS Are Much
lnCenSed, Is the Report
Made.
RAID ON GREAT BRITAIN.
French Continue to Make
Claims of Gains Along
Their Front.

London, April 16 Although it is
not yet certain that a German sub
marine boat was responsible for the
sending to the bottom of the Dutch
steamer Katwyk off the North Hin
der light ship last night, the sinking
of the vessel aroused the indigna-
ton of the Dutch people, as evil
denced by the editorials of newspa-
pers in Holland,
The Katwyk, loaded with grain
from Baltimore consigned to Dutch
government, is reported to have
been lying at anchor at the time of
the explosion and to have been flying
the Dutch flag. The Dutch news
papers insist that no mistake could
have been made and that if a Ger
man submarine actually torpedoed
the steamer I'VE must expect that
German government will without
loss of time be made responsible for
this severe violation of the rights of
neutral powers"
The fact that the Dutch govern
ment was directly involved in the
Katwyk's cargo and the news of the
sinking of the steamer came imme-
diately on top of the announcement
that four Dutch trawlers had been
seized by the Germans and taken to
Zebrugge apparently has heightened
. the feelings of the Hollanders.
The Katwyk incident and many
rumors of diplomatic movements in
Italy and the near east seemingly
have made the people of England al
most forget last nights Zeppelin
raid and fighting on the continent.
Next in interest was the publica-
of white paper" showing that
Great Britain acknowledged that
British cruisers had sunk the Ger
man cruiser Dresden in Chilean ter
ritorial waters and had apologized
for the action of her squadron.
AS far as fighting is concerned the
battles in the Carpathians and in the
| Woerve are the only important ones.
| The Russians are said to be contin-
uing their effort to force the Austro-
German armies completely out of
/ the Carpathians. Having successful
taken the western passes they are
bending their energy on attempts
to capture the UzSok pass and the
heights northeast of that break in
the mountains.
In the Argonne, in Alsace and in
the region of the Somme, the French
declare they also have made some.
, progress, but this contradicts the
Berlin official report, which says that
all French attacks were repulsed.
A German submarine has sunk the
British steamer Ptarmigan in the
! North Sea with loss of eight of her
crew of seventeen.

Alleged "POSsum Hunter" Is
Sentenced to Four Years
By Judge Moss.
OTHER CASES CONTINUED.
Sensational Trial Of Butler
County Man Ended In
Warren.

Bowling Green, KY, April 16.-
The jury in the case of Pres G. Jen-
kins, of Butler, the alleged "possum
hunter" returned a verdict yester-
day at S:45 o'clock finding the de-
PENDANT guilty of the charge against
him. He was sentenced to four
years in the penitentiary.
The case was given to the jury
late last night.
jenkins, who took the stand Tues
day on his own behalf concluded his
testimony Wednesday, but nothing
of a sensational nature was devel-
oped. One of his interesting state
ments, however, was that he was at
church when some of the outrages
are said to have been perpetrated.
Four other witnesses testified for
the defendant.
Mrs. Katherine Webster, who was
whipped by crowd which Jenkins
is alleged to have led, said she would
know Jenkins hide in lanyard. -
The evidence having been conclud-
ed at 8 O'Clock Judge Moss read the
instructions to the jury.
County Clerk w. o, Moates, of
Butler county, previously had testi-
fled that jenkins had told him dur
ing the meeting of the special grand
jury in January that so per cent. of
the people in Kentucky are "possum
hunters" and that it would not be
long before the President of the
United States would belong"
Moates also said that Jenkins told
him that if Judge Mckenzie Moss,
of Bowling Green, and Common
wealth's Attorney John H. Gillian,
of Scottsville, came to Morgantown
to try the "possum hunter" cases,
they would be made to swim back
up the Green river faster than they
came down" and that the 300 or 400
"possum hunters" in Butler county
would sweep the little town of
Morgantown off the map.
A number of boys testified that
they met the members of the night
riding band on the road at various
times and knew jenkins was leading
them, by his voice and by a gray
mule he rode. jenkins is said to own
a pair of gray mules.
The argument for the defense was
opened by Mr.. Mayhem, of Morgan
town, he was followed by Nat How
ard, also of Morgantown. for the
Commonwealth. Thomas w. Thorn
as, of this city, and George Denny,
of Greenville. followed for the de-
tense. and the argument was closed
by Commonwealth Attorney John
H. Gillian.

and who have been indicted on the
same charges, denied being men,
