Making Good.

The Beaumont (Texas) Enterprise, one
of the leading newspapers of that thriv-
ing Southwestern city. gives a glowing
account of young Kentucky woman
who is making a great success in the
lumber business in Beaumont. In pari
the article says:
with the opening of an office in Beau
mont about one year ago, the Yellow
Pine Company, of Philadelphia, issued
circular letters to tie lumber manufac-
turers in Texas and Louisiana announce
ing that E. o. Nash had been appointed
their purchasing agent for the southwest.
"E. o. Nash arrived in Beaumont dur
ing July, 1914, arranged the office in the
Wiess building. and then personally Wis
tied the saw mills in this territory Then
it was that the mill men shook their
heads-E. o. Nash was an attractive
young woman with keen business sense.
Since that time, however, Miss Evelyn
Nash has convinced those doubtful lum-
Der men that even a-woman may achieve
a success in the lumber business if she
is possessed of the necessary grit, and
will acquire ideas. Miss Nash is a
native of the Bluegrass section of Ken
tucky.- She was born in Kentucky, aud
but few years ago she went to Phila-
delpha where she was engaged as a
stenographer for the Long-Bell Co.
Since then she has been employed con-
tinuosly in the business end of the lum-
Der industry. Miss Nash has the dis
tinct;on of having been the only 'lum-
bergette'' in the Lumbermen's parade
during the Southern Texas Fair last
year, the December issue of the Ameri-
can Lnmberman carrying half-tone cut
of the automobile wrapped in a yellow
pine banner.
The most effective way in which
Miss Nash has shown her acute sense of
the lumber business, comes, from the
fact that the mill men throughout the
southwest say she is the closest fgur.
er" they come in contact with.
when shipment is concentrated al
Port Arthur, Miss Nash personally sup
ervises the loading and shipping 10 the
home yards in the Quaker City,
Miss Evelyn Nash is the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. Nash, of this city
and left Richmond more than year age
to take charge OF the Long Bell Lumber
Co.'s office at Beaumont. She is a
charming young woman, plucky and full
of energy, and her many friends in this
city will be pleased to know she is max
| ing good in the business world

POLICE UNABLE To
LOCATE GODOWSKI
Noted Musician Is Thought to
Have Been Killed.

New York, Sept. 6.-Not only are
the family and friends of Leopold God
owski, the famous pianist completely
baffied by his continued disappear
ance, but a score of detectives, work
ing under Deputy Police Commission
ers Guy Schulz, are puzzled as we'll.
The failure of the detectives to find
any one who seems to have seen God
owski since he vanished after leaving
a hair-dressing establishment in For
ty-third street at six o'clock on
Wednesday evening, has strengthened
the theory that the celebrated music
ian fell victim of highwaymen, who
robbed him of his money and jewels
and probably did him bodily harm.
The police have practically abandoned
the belief that Godowski's disappear
ed under an attack of amnesia or
aphasia. They think that he is so
well known in all parts of the city
that some one would have recognized
him if he wandered about in that
state.
Scarcely a more thorough search OF
the city has been made for any one
since the strange disappearance OF
Dorothy Arnold. The police have al
most completely exhausted the posi-
bility of finding Godowski in this city
'The disappearance Of Godowski, !,
said Mr.. Schulz, lis one of the most
battling mysteries of the kind we have
had to deal with. 1t is exceedingly
strange that a man who was so well
known about the city could suddenly
drop out Of sight completely"

Lexington, KY. (SpeciaD: The ques.

HAVE LET UP THEIR ATTACKS
Mexicans Cease Firing at Soldiers
Across the Border.

El Paso. Texas, Sept. 6.-According
to such information as reached here
from the Brownsville region the bat
tie fought between American soldiers,
Texas rangers and American posse
men, on one side of the river, and
Mexicans on the other, has not been
resumed.
The Mexicans disappeared during
the night, but scouting parties ex-
changed shots during the day with
some of the Mexican bandits, who
have been raiding on the Texas side.
With the arrival at Brownsville of
the fourth infantry from Texas City,
Colonel Robert L. Bullard moved the
headquarters of the Twenty-sixth in
fantry into the interior to Harlingen,
twenty-six miles from Brownsville,
and close to the scene of the battle,
across the international line. Ameri-
can officials here have received word
from officials at Brownsville that they
have positive evidence that the Car
rama soldiers have fired from Mexi-
CO upon United States army aero
planes. even il as Carranza command
ers claim, Carranza troops were not
guilty of firing across the border at
the Americans.

Held Over.

After an investigation by Judge New
ton and County Attorney Carpenter,
during which some fifteen witnesses
were examined, warrant was issued
the latter part of last week for Bud
Pickett charging him with shooting
Robt Puckett, at Iron Mound over two
weeks ago. Robt. Puckett was shot
from ambush at night, and the fact that
it was alleged to have been an old grudge
between the two Pucketts and other cir
cumstances brought out at the inquiry
caused warrant to be issued for Bud
Puckett. At an examining trial Mon
day the accused man was held over to
the grand jury under 81, 200 bail The
wounded man is still in the hospital at
Winchester and his physician holds out
little hope for his recovery. Bud Puc-
kett claims he is innocent and says he
will be able to establish an alibi -Estill

UNABLE TO CROSS DWINA
Russians Are Making a Strong Stand
on the Banks of the sereth Against
the Austrians For the Present
Artillery DueIs on West Front.

London, Sept. 6.-The German and
Austrian advance in the east, for the
moment, at least. is being held up by
the Russians.
While the Germans, according to
their own claim, as well as to the ad-
mission of the Russian war office, sue
ceeded in capturing the bridgehead at
Friedrichstadt on Thursday, they have
not yet been able to cross the Dwlna
to attack the town itself and to cut
the rail communications between Riga
and Dwinsk.
Between Grodno and the region east
of Bielostock there seems to have
been little change though further to
the south the Germans, after very
severe fighting, have succeeded In
capturing the Bridgehead on the Jas
iolda at Observation-Disclosures where
they were held up for some time and
are now drawing nearer to Pinsk.
Slightly to the north of this region
the German advanced guards are with
in about twenty miles of Slonim, an
important railway point on the rail
way which runs from Bielostock to
+, Barnowitschi and Minsk.
In the region east of Grodno the
Russians have been fighting desper-
ate rear guard battles, which have so
effectively checked the Germans that
practically the entire forces which
held this salient have been able to
withdraw to safety. Petrograd dis
patches say that even after the town
of Grodno was evacuated cavalry de-
tachments re-entered the city and
fought with such telling effect that
they were able to carry away num-
Der of German machine guns and $50
prisoners. Berlin says that the num-
Der of prisoners made in this region
has been increased to $500.
In Galicia the Russians are making
a strong stand on the banks of the
Sereth and are temporarily holding
the Austrians.
The word artillery" continues to
feature the French official war Office
statements. In the Argonne, in the
forest of Apremont, on the Cham
pagne front and at several other
places on the western theater, the
French and Germans, according to re-
ports, are busy cannonading. No con-
sequental gain by either side is an
nounced in the official statements. The
reports tell of British gains on the
Gallipoli peninsula "since the end OF
August" In the southern zone of the
peninsula the situation is calm, the
statement adds.

FLOOD DAMAGE UNKNOWN
Territorial Troops Rescuing Victims
and Caring For Homeless.

Rome, Sept. 6.-Owing to inter-
ruption OF the railroad communications
and congested telegraph the full ex-
tent of the damage done by the Bari
floods is yet unknown. The number
of victims ascertained is only thir-
teen. The wounded are most numer-
GUS in the lower portions of the town
which still is under water. The res
cut work is rendered extremely diff
cult owing to the lack OF pumps.
Pumps are being sent to Bari from
Tartano and Brindisi. Meanwhile the
territorial troons are rescuing the oc-
cupants of the flooded houses and pro-
viding shelter for the homeless. The
damage on the countryside is exten-
sive, besides in Bari, in the neighbor-
hood of Naples and especially in the
towns and villages on the slopes OF
the vesuvius where mud torrents de-
vastated the field and vineyards and
orchards

Queenstown, Sept. 6.-The Hesper-
ian was struck by torpedo while
seventy miles southeast of Fastnet,
ireland, on her way to Montreal. The
ship was an Allan liner, a 11,OOO-ton
vessel and had about three hundred
passengers and a crew OF 25O aboard,
Not a soul on the steamer, though
there we're many persons on deck,
and a strict lookout was being kept,
saw anything that resembled peri
scope either before or after the ship
was hit. The torpedo tore hole in
the steamships hull forward, but the
wound was not fatal. She was travel
ing with her compartments closed,
precaution which may have saved her.
According to the most accurate in
formation so far obtainable there
were American citizens among the
passengers The liner carried Al
inch gun mounted and visible on the
stern.
Eight lives were lost, according to
a careful compilation made by Consul
Frost, but both Americans were saved.
Thirty-seven persons were more or
less seriously injured. Three of the
lifeboats capsized as they were being
launched and their occupants were
dumped into the water.
There was no panic and very little
excitement. There was not person
on board but realized the moment the
explosion occurred that either a tor
pedo or a mine had struck the vessel.
Life belts were strapped on imme-
diately and the work of lowering the
boats began a few minutes later. Long
before the ship had taken serious
list all of the passengers were over
board and only the captain, with his
officers and a few of the crew re-
mained.
1t has been suggested by some of
the passengers that the ship was not
struck by a torpedo but collided with
floating mine. The fact that the
ship was apparently hit forward and
that the wound was not fatal, seems
in a sense to support this theory,
though the officers of the Hesperian
lean to the belief that a torpedo did
the work
The wireless call for assistance was
sent out all but simultaneously with
the explosion and government
steamer and a number of patrol boats
in the nearby waters Immediately put
out to the rescue. Until they reached
the spot the lifeboats, filled with the
Hesperian's passengers, stood by the
disabled steamship while Captain
Main and some of his crew remained
on board.
The patrol boats with all of the pas.
sengers and most of the crew, arrived
here. Already additional patrol boats
had been sent out to save the vessel
and shortly after their arrival wire.
less message said that the Hesperian
probably could be safely towed to
Queenstown.
There seems to be no question OF
doubt that a warning was not given
and that a submarine was not sighted
]. H. Brockington, passenger, is one
of the many survivors who attests
this fact 1t is supposed that the sub
marine, IL It was a submarine, had
been lying in wait for a victim and as
soon as the Hesperian was sighted
approaching, maneuvered quickly, tc
strike and having discharged the tor
pedo submerged and fed.
All of the passengers pay the high
est tribute to the efficiency of the
crew and the coolness of Captain
Main.
