LOCAL EXCITEMENT
OVER LUSlTANIA
HERALD'S BULLETIN BOARD
MECCA FOR HUNDREDS ON FRI
DAY AFTERNOON.

News Of the sinking of the Lusi-
tania by a submarine topedo, fash
ed on the bulletin board of The Her
aid on Friday afternoon created the
most intense interest and some little
excitement. In less time than it
takes to tell crowd gathered around
the bulletin board and until dark
there were eager readers anxious to
get the news. The lack of details
of the loss of the great Cunard liner
naturally added to the interest and
suppressed excitement. All phases
of the situation, growing out Of the
probable loss of prominent American
lives were discussed pro and con. This
was decidedly the biggest piece OF
war news from a local interest stand
point, since the hostilities common
ced early last fall, While many
thoughtful minds realized the ser.
iousness of crisis that might come
from the wanton destruction OF
American lives the general opinion
was that the situation would not
lead to an international crisis. The
crowd ebbed and flowed. At times
there would be only two or three OF
half dozen readers of the bulletins
but within a few minutes another
crowd would pack the sidewalk ant
all sorts of speculation was rife.

Hon. William H. Long, representa-
tive from Maury, is of the opinion
that his tip bill, which was recently
vetoed by Gov Rye, became law like
the Bowers bill, because it was in the
governors hands five days without
being returned The following from
Mr. Long is self-explanatory:
TO the Editor of The Herald.
Referring to your comment on an
article in your issue of May 5, Gov.
Rye vetoes Long tip BILL" l desire to
say that it is unnecessary to have the
bill passed over the veto of the gov
ernor, inasmuch as the records show
that the bill went into the hands of
the governor on March 30 and re-
NAMED in his hands for five full days,
exclusive of the day that he received
it, March 80, and the day on which 1t
was vetoed, May 4, and 10y virtue
thereof became law without the
much desired approval of Gov. Rye.
II most respectively regret to take
, issue with his excellency in his con
struction of the act. | insist that a
strict construction of the law will
show that it does not intend, nor does
it make it unlawful for hotels, bar
Der shops, ETC., to raise or increase
prices or charges, other than for the
purpose of covering the shortage
caused by the prohibition of tips
which is a direct benefit to the pub
lie at large.
while there may be mo legal Of
moral obligation" resting upon an!
one TO indulge or encourage the &C
of giving tips the matter has re
solved itself into fact that one mus
pay this extra tax, tip, or graft, IL
order to get service for which it i
supposed he has already paid.
81 thoroughly agree with his eS
cellency that this law does most sc
riously interfere with certain elias
of our citizens. That is the purpos
and intent of this act, to protect tn
public from this nuisance and specie
of graft and the employe in his legi
innate rights as wage Garner"
