LATEST WAR NEWS.

Inquiries at the coast guard sta
lions in North Holland have brought
the reply that nothing has been seen
or heard up to midnight of thirteen
of the crew of the American steamer
Evelyn, who were reported to have
proceeded to Holland after the
steamer was blown up. The Dutch
Marine Department is also without
information concerning the missing
men. President Wilson conferred
with Secretary Bryan concerning the
destruction of the Evelyn, but no
course of action beyond diplomatic
inquiries was decided upon.
A Zeppelin airship bombarded Ca
lais yesterday morning, according to
an official statement issued last night
1t dropped ten projectiles, which
killed five persons, all civilians, and
caused some unimportant material
damage.
An undercurrent of tense feeling
has been running through all classes
in Holland attributed to -Germany's
action in not replying to the Dutch
note of protest concerning the North
Sea war zone, according to The
Hague dispatches.
Coincident with Austria's an
nouncement that she would dupli-
cate in the Adriatic Germany's SUBJ
marine warfare on merchant vessels
in British waters, Premier Asquith
stated in the House of Commons that
reprisals against Germany on a
large scale were under consideration
and that the British Government
might deem it necessary to place
cotton on the list of contraband.

Kentucky Democrats Behind James

A dispatch from Washington says
that Senator Ollie NJ. James is being
overwhelmed with letters ard tele-
grams from Kentucky indorsing his
fight in behalf of the ship purchase
bill, expressing in strong language
their opinion of those Democrats who
have aided the Republicans and the
Shipping Trust in delaying the pur-
chase measure. One enthusiastic
Democrat wrote SenS.or James that
his course had made him stronger
than ever with the Democracy of
Kentucky. Another added that 80
per cent at least OF the Kentucky
Democrats were soliGiy pack of Sena-
tor James for his course, not only in
holding up the hands of the President
but in taking the floor to express op-
enlv the opinion of the loyal members
the Senate majority for those of
their colleagues who had deserted
their party leader in one of the most
critical periods of his administration.
Senator Johnson N. Camden failed to
deliver the speech which he had pre-
pared in answer to the attack on him
of Senator James. Had the speech
been delivered, another interesting
cOlloquy would have resulted, as
Senator James had asked that notice
of the Camden speech be given him,
and he would have been ready to re-
ply to any attempt to attack him.

acting, and is generally considered in
line for championship honors.

dip Net" Defined By Court

County Judge R. C. Heat of the
Franklin county court, made. the
first judicial ruling on what eonsti-
tutes a lawful "dip net" in the trial
of four men arrested by Game War
den Cassius Shaw on a charge of US
ing drag nets. Executive Agent j. Q.
Ward, who has heard all kinds of
nets described as ''dip nets" had the
arrests made for the purpose of es-
tablishing the identity of "dip net"
so that fishermen in the future may
be warned. Judge Heat held that
the kind of net used was drag net.
The nets used were operated by be-
ing drawn through the water toward
the operator, and Judge Heat de-
cided that they undoubtedly are
"drag nets" although commonly
called dip" nets. The genuine dip
net as demonstrated in court is
square, with a post at each corner,
and is lifted and lowered in the wa
ter by means of block and lever.
This form of net is lawful.

Former Lincoln Girl Honored

After an investigation for the pur-
pose of determining whether or not
the volume of work at the city office
required an assistant to Recorder
Howe, the city council at the Monday
night meeting reappointed Miss Luz
Gle Johnson to the position. While
Miss Johnson's title is deputy record
er, she is virtually clerk of the wa
ter department. However, in case Mr..
Howe is i'll or unable to attend to
his duties, the full duties of the of
fee fall on her shoulders. Last year
during an illness of the recorder, the
duties of presiding over municipal
court fell to Miss Johnson. With a
dignity as though she had been born
to the ermine, she heard the testi-
mony and assessed the fine, giving
the culprit in dock lecture, firmly
and gently, but one he will ever re-
member.-Hood River, Ore, Glacier.
Miss Johnson had the honor of being
the first woman to act as police Judge
in the state of Oregon.She was for
merly a Lincoln county girl who re-
moved to the northwest with her par
ents nine years ago. She has held this
position with the city of Hood River
more than three years.

On last Wednesday evening, Mr..
IRWIN Blankenshlp and Miss Gertrude
Adams, of Preachersville, elopei
to Jacksonville, Ind, where
they were united in the holy bonds of
wedlock. Their marriage came as a
great surprise to everyone as no one

rimonial, their courtship being so
brief. The groom is a son, OF Mr..
and Mrs. S. Blankenship, of Preach
ersville, and has for years been a
most talented correspondent of the
III. and a gentleman in every sense
of the word. The bride is very pref

choice. May their lives as one be
of unclouded happir esS and only the
brightest of sunshine tighten their

Lancaster Court.

A good crowd attended Lancaster
court yesterday, Notwithstanding the
farmers were busy blowing. A lot of
mules were on the market, but the
supply was in excess of the demand
and not great number sold. B. G..
Fox, of Danville, had a bunch for
sale and disposed of only a portion of
them. He sold one to Thomas Nc
Beath for $135 and a few more at
500 to $3.50. j. ID. Whitehouse
bought of another party good 1873
hands mare mule for SITS. On &C
count of the quarantine, the stock
pens were not opened during the day;
however fifty or more cattle changed
hands privately. A small bunch of
good steers brought close to 7c and a
lot of heifers around &c. A few
butcher cattle sold at 4c. The horse
market was also quiet; only a half
dozen or so selling. Prices ranged
from sos to $3.50.

Col. Walton Out in Front

The following was in the political
column of the Lexington Herald Sum-
day: In the race for Secretary of
State, Colonel w. P. Walton has the
newspaper verdict" as they say of
prize fights. For instance, Ed Shin
nick of Shelbyville says this of Colo
mol Walton and his paper:
If Kentucky wants to get out of
the rut she is in, and if the Demo-
Gratis want to win next November,
they must be careful in their selec-
tions of nominees next August. ''Is
he honest and competent to fill the
position to which he aspires?" is the
first question that we should ask our
selves. Ask yourself and everybody
else, who knows him, about Col. w
P. Walton, the newspaper man of
Lexington, before you vote for Sec
rotary of State. Any man who will
say that Col. Walton is not Demo-
crat all the way through, honest and
eminently qualified to fill the posi-
ton, is unworthy of belief. Col. Wal
ton is the kind of man who hasn't the
disposition, nor the money to buy
votes. If, however, his strength in the
primary corresponds with his fitness
for the place, he will surely be noni-
mated. He's all right.

Municipality May Enforce Ordinance

The right of municipality to en-
force compliance with its building
laws by injunction was upheld by the
Court of Appeals, in reversing the
Wayne Circuit Court in the case of
the city of Monticello against H.
Bales. Bales secured permit to erect
a building within the lire limits of
the city. The structure he erected,
however. differed from that specifi-
ed i'll the permit, being frame ga
rage. The city brouga, suit for man
datory injunction to compel him to
conform to the requirments of the
permit, and the Wayne Circuit Court
dismissed the petitiCr on the ground
that the Police Court has Jurisdiction
over violators of municipal ordinan-
ces; but the Court of Appeals said
that nominal fine would not give
the city and the people. whose prop
erty is exposed BY the violation, an
agquate remedy. Though the fine was
assessed the menace would continue
and remanded the case for further
proceedings.

No Cloud on Beckham's Title to Seat

The Courier-Journaps efforts to
have a cloud cast on Senator Beck
hams title seem ABOUT to go for
naught. A dispatch from Washing
ton last week said: Washington, Feb.
10.-The democratic members of the
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions, of which Senator Kern is
chairman, in discussing today the
plan of Senator Sutherland to ask
for an investigation of the recent
election of Senator-elect Beckham,
said that they will vote against such
probe unless they receive convinc-
ing evidence that Mr.. Beckham per-
sonally conspired to corrupt his re-
cent election. The majority members
of the committee will take no cogniz-
ance of vote-buying or selling in
Kentucky during the recent election
unless some reputable citizen of Ken
lucky appears before the committee
and in addition to testifying under
oath, introduces affidavits showing
that Mr.. Beckham conspired person.
ally to corrupt his election. 1t is con-
sidered unlikely here that any Ken
lucky Democrat can be found to take
such action.
1t doesn't strike US at all strange
that such papers as the Courier
Journal, the Louisville Times, Lex
ington Herald and others which, along
with Senator Camden, deserted the
Democratic party In 1896, should
now, if not openly defend him, mini
nize his desertion of President Will
son and the democrats in the senate
on the Ship Purchase bill as much as
possible. When Big Ollie talked out
in meetin' about Camden's political
record, he tramped rather hard on
the toes of certain distinguished edi-
tors and naturally they don't appre-
ciae his effort a little bit.
