Porter charlton, the American whC

murdoring his wife in 1910, was
today condemned to six years anG
eight months imprisonment.
Baron Schiacca, the presiding Judge
before the case went to the jury
asked Charlton whether he had any
thing to add to the defense, with
tears in his eyes, Charlton exclaimed

Both the prosecutor and counsel
for the defense made stirring pleas
the former for the imposition of a
heavy sentence and the latter com
posed of Signors Gataneo and Michelli
Picardi for acquittal on the ground
that the prisoner was totally ire

no man in Charlton's condition could

London. Oct. 26.-While the Austro.
German and Bulgarian campaigns in
northern and eastern Serbia are being
carried out according to the plan,
despite fierce Serbian resistance, and
the Bulgars, who crossed the Timok'
and hold the town of Prahovo, are
separated from the Germans who
crossed the Danube near Orsova, b.
only a few miles in the south, things
are not going so well for the invaders.
In the latter region the French
troops have joined hands with the
Serbs. and, according to French ac-
counts, have inflicted a severe de-
feat on the Bulgarians at krivolak'

the Solaniki-Nish railway crosses the

NEW DEPOT
IS A THING
Of BEAUTY
RINGLlNG AND FRISCO ROADS
WILL HAVE MODEL PLACE FOR
PASSENGER AND FREIGHT
TRAFFIC.

Few people of the city are aware
OF the beauty and convenience of the
new Ringing depot on North Wash
ington street, which will be used
jointly by the Oklahoma, New Mex
leo & Pacific and the Frisco rail
roads, because very few have visited
the place, but when it is thrown open
to the public next Thursday morning
they will have a chance to inspect as
complete station as the most fas-
tidious could wish, and besides its
convenient features, it is thing of
beauty as well.
The floors are of tile artistically
land and the walls are Of a most
pleasing tint. Everything has been
done for the convenience of passen-
gers, and the office arrangements are
all that the clerical force desire,
for handling the work of the two
roads.
Beginning Thursday morning, all
trains leaving the city of the Frisco
and the Oklahoma, New Mexico &
Pacific will leave this new station.

in rather an awkward position, for
further advance of the allied army
would seriously threaten their flank
In TACT unofficial reports state that
the adyan' Of the French, who are
being closely lowed by the British
has already CO.. d the retirement OF
the Bulgars toWs> Strumitsa.
The first desireE. the Germans,
however, is to open s, quite through
northeastern Serbia al Bulgaria to
Turkey, and this is on eve of
being accomplished
On the other hand military writer's
here do not believe that the position
of Serbia is so desperate as has been
painted. 1t is serious, of course, but
they point out that the Serbians have
many natural defensive positions in
the mountains in which they can hold
out for weeks; that the British,
French, and other members of the
Quadruple powers, carrying out their
determination to help Serbia by rush
ing reinforcements to Saloniki and
other points, the Bulgars will have
an extremely warm reception, and
that the Germans and Turks, being
fully occupied elsewhere, will not be
able to send them much help.
British correspondents in France
have Just disclosed the fact made
known to them by the British staff
that even after the Anglo-French Of
fensive in September the Germans
had the greatest difficulty in securing
new reinforcements to meet that ad-
venture and had to call uron men
Just returned from Russia for rest to

border.

SOME FACTS
CONCERNING
PARCEL POST
CENTS A PACKAGE TO INSTALL
WAGON DELIVERY IN ARDMORE
- U. S. CAN'T AFFORD 1T.

The public demanded of the rail
way companies better service and
lower rates until many of them were
placed in the hands of receivers. The
same demands are now being made
Of the federal postoflice department
Agitation for penny postage is kept
up and all the time the people are
asking for better service.
There are a number of persons here
who want a wagon installed for max
ing deliveries OF parcel post packages.
The local post office keeps a check
on the amount Of parcel post packages
handled by actually counting the
packages for fifteen days every six
month. From October / to October
- the office handled ! ,54S packages.
OF this number ll9 went to the gen
eral delivery window and were called
for by persons who live outside the
city, 609 went to persons who own
boxes at the office and do not have
their mail delivered, j62 were small
packages that the regular carriers
delivered without Inconvenience to
themselves on their regular routes,
and 25S packages had to be called
for at the post Office. 1t would cost
the department to install a wagon
for the delivery of these packages
$126 a month, which would be 25c
package.
In the face of these figures, one can
scarcely see how the government can
afford to install the delivery here
However, the government does in
stall these wagons, and if Ardmore
were to agitate the question enough
it will be done. Some Of the towns
which boast of parcel post delivery
have made arrangements for about
80 month for one delivery a day
Under that method some of the pack
ages stay in the office "a hours with
out delivery, and a service of that
kind would be unsatisfactory

SHIPS ALARM
GOVERNMENT
WASHINGTON FEARS PiRATlCAL
CRAFT MAY BE GERMAN CON-
MERGE RAIDERS OR THEY MAY
BE MEXICAN FILlBUSTERS.

Washington, Oct. 25.-A tangled
skein of circumstances is perpleXing
officials here, pointing either to the
institution of new commerce raiding
campaign by Germans in tie Carib
bean sea, or the beginning of a series
of flibustering expeditions against
Mexico The justice, navy and state
departments have worked on the mys-
terry several weeks without result.
The departure of several sea-going
motorboats, the escape of German
warrant officers interned at Norfolk.
and the mysterious movements Of
several American yachts in the Gull
of Mexico have baffled not only Of
iicials of the American government,
who are anxious to prevent violation
of neutrality through use of Ameri-
can territory as a base Of naval oper-
atiCns, but also agents of the Brit
ish government, who fear a com
merce raiding campaign is about to
be begun against the tank steamers
which carry oil from Mexican ports
for use Of the British navy The
circumstances which officials believe
are all connected in a general way
follow:
One.-The sudden departure of six
interned German warrant officers
from Norfolk in the motor yacht
Eclipse, provisioned for several days
voyage.
Two.-The arrival at Buena Ven
tura, Colombia, of an American ship
Academy from San Francisco
heavily provisioned. One of the own
ers of the Academy" telegraphed
the government here that the vessel
had no instructions to go to Colon
ba. The captain of the vessel claim.
ed that he put into the Colombian
port for repairs. Some doubt exists
as to the real identity of the vessel
and officials have sent to the Ameri-
can consul at Callao the registry
number of the Academy and have
asked for a complete description.
Three.-Two yachts, the Alameda
and the Ventura, have been lying at
Key West for several weeks. Louis
Van Horn of New York City, who
owned them originally, is understood
to have sold the Alameda to a Gen
eral Pasquero. The Ventura was re-
Gently stolen, it is claimed, from
Key West by Mexican pirates" and
recovered by an American coast pa
troll
Four.-An American sailing vessel
called the Two Sisters, went aground
on an island off the coast Of Louisiana
recently. claiming to have come from
Mexico for repairs. Her status is
under investigation.
