seven states to be traversed by the

ALLIES RESUME
ASSAULT STRAITS
(BV Associated Press. }

PARIS, April 23.--Advices reaching
here late this afternoon from the near
east indicate the Allied naval forces
have renewed their assaults upon the
forts Of the Dardanelles, though it is
not yet apparent that the Franco
British squadron is ready to begin the
anticipated general attack upon the
Turkish defenses.
During yesterday afternoon spirit
ed action between the attacking
feet and the forts when four British
warships entered the straits and di-
rected a heavy fire upon the outer
defenses. The result of this bonn
bardment is not stated, the most ac-
curate accounts of the encounter be-
ing contained in censored dispatches
forwarded by newspaper correspcn-
dsnts on the Island Of Lemnos.

FIGHT TO REMOVE HARRY KEN.
DALI THAW FROM MATTEAWAN
TO BE PRESSED By ATTORENYS
FOR SLAYER OF STANFORD

Virginia Man Offered
BHbe to Free ThqtO
Man in Norfolk, Va, Claims That a
Detective Offered Him $1,000 to As
sist in kidnapping Thaw From New
New York State
(By Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 23.-The question
of the sanity of Harry K. Thaw, slayer
of Stanford White, and for eight years
an inmate of Matteawan asylum for
the criminal insane, will be deter
mined by jury
This was settled today by Supreme
Court Justice Hendricks, in decision
granting the application for such
trial made by Thaw's attorneys. The
decision of Justice Hendrick holds,
however, that the verdict of such a
jury is not necessarily binding upon
the court, if the presiding justice be
satisfied the verdict is not in accord
ance with the evidence adduced at the
hearing. Thaw's attorneys, while not
pleased with the provision of the de-
cision which fails to make jury ver-
dict birding on the court expressed
satisfaction with their success this af-
ternoon, and reiterated their conf
dence that jury will free Thaw.
Following the handing down of to-
days decision, attorneys representing
Thaw and the state conferred and an
agreement was reached as to the date
CT the trial, which will occur here.
May 18th was fixed upon by counsel
interested in the case, and on that date
Thaw will face jury for the third
time since the sensational killing of
White, and again his liberty hangs in
the balance, with strong influences and
eminent legal talent engaged on both
sides of the case.
A dispatch published in a newspaper
here asserts that Louis Weiner, res
ident of Norfolk, Va, has informed the
police authorities of that city that
he had been offered a thousand dollars
to assist in a plot to kidnap Thaw and
remove the prisoner from the iurisdic-
tion of the New York courts. The
alleged offer was made by detective
attached to a New York agency and
contemplated the carrying of ThaI
into Virginia, where it is thought SEN
timent would be strong enough to
prevent his extradtion on such a
charge as sufficed to bring about his
return from New Hampshire. Weiner
says he refused the offer because the
detective declined to advance him $50
as expense money.

PRETTY WEDDING
SOLEMN|ZED At
HOME Of BRIDE
R0DGERS-BOA OATWRIGHT NEEDING
SOLEMNIZED LAST NIGHT.
ours always

Rarely has a prettier marriage oc-
casion occurred here than that last
evening wherein were blended the lives
and destinies of Mis- sStella Rodgers
and Mr. George Boatwright, of Amer
icus. The rites were solemnized at
the suburban home of the brides par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. George Dallas Rod
gers, at Sumter, where a brilliant as
samblage of friends and relatives Of
the handsome couple witnessed the
plighting of the tro;n anG extended
sincerest good wishes.
The parlors of the Rodgers home
were transformed into floral bowers
of Southern smilax, spring pink roses
and gorgeous dogwood blossoms. The
aisle to the floral altar was formed by
pedestals holding tapers with pink
shades, and festooned with pink rib
bons. Banked about the improvised
altar were dogwood blossoms and
ferns.
AS the wedding party entered Miss
Alice Ansley, of Smithville, presiding
at the piano, rendered Mendelssohn's
immortal march, while "Traumerie"
was played during the impressive
ceremony, performed by Rev. J. J.
Ansley, of Plains. Miss Elizabeth Ans
ley, Of Smithville, sang sweetly "At
Dawning," just before the bridal par
ty entered. The bride and groom stood
beneath a huge basket of rare pi1k
roses.
The brides wedding gown was white
crepe ed chine, with veil caught with
orange blossoms. Her going-away cos
tune was Jaunty tan coat-sult, most
becoming to her type of blonde beauty.
Her bouquet was fashioned of brides
roses and valley lilies.
Miss Nellie Rodgers, sister of the
bride, was maid of honor and was most
attractive in a costume of pink crepe
de chine, as was the charming brides
maid, Miss Kathleen Boatwright, sis
ter of the groom. Each carried
bouquet Of pink carnations Mr.. B. G.
Boatwright was best man of the oc-
casion, while Mr.. G. G. Mcdonald, as

City of State.
(By Associated Press.

DALLAS, Tex. April 23.-Eight per-
sons are known to be dead today as
the result of last nights 'ain and
electrical storm, which was general
practically all over Texas and a
portion of eastern Oklahoma. Thous-
ands of dollars of property damage has
been sustained, though no accurate
estimate of the loss can be obtained al
noon.
Six of the victims of the storm have
been identified as negroes living near
here, and two others, both white men
remain unclaimed at an undertaking ng
establishment, Wire and rail COM
munication with every part of the
state is badly disarranged today, and
the total damage inflicted during the
passage of the storm may greatly ex-
ceed present anticipations.
In the oil fields around Beaumont
and throughout Texas petroleum belt
the damage was especially severe, val
liable oil tanks being set afre by
lightning and their contents going up
in smoke. The skies in those sections
of the state were a vivid red through
out the night, presenting a scene Of
devastation and disaster seldom seen
on this continent Many oil wells are
still on fire today.
At Austin, numerous squads of res
cue workers were busy throughout the
night removing residents of the low
country from the danger zone created
by the sudden flooding of Waller creek
No lives are known to have been lost
in that section, though prompt action
only save many being sacrificed. The
property damage there will be con-
siderable, thousands of dollars worth
of cattle being drowned by the rush
ing waters.
Near Chickasaw, Oklahoma, ten pas
senger trains with probably seven
hundred persons aboard are maroone,! i!
as the result of the Canadian river
having cut itself a new channel which
runs two miles distant from the old
bed of the stream. Railroad tracks u
that section have been washed away
entirely in some places ard at others
are covered by water.

DEATH LIST ALREADY 20;
PROPERTY LOSS FULLY $1,000, 900
(By Associated Press. }

DALLAS, Tex, April 23--At 2:20
this afternoon reports received from
the Gr:a devastated during last nights
storm indicated greater loss of life
and increased property damage. AL
ready twenty bodies have been recoY-
cred and the death list is expected to
grow. At Austin alone fifteen persons
lost their lives, and several others are
missing, with a PROBABILITY they, too,
were sacrificed.
Railroads, telegraph lines, farm i'm
provements and bridges have been
damaged extensively, conservative es-
Inmates this afternoon placing the to-
tai at $1OOO,OOO. County roads ir
many sections have been completely
washed away, and in the territory
about Austin the damage sustained
was especially severe. Five hundred
thousand dollars, it is stated, will
hardly cover the property loss in tha.
city alone.

(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, April g3.-The German ad-
miralty this after noon issued an off
cial statement saying the German
high seas feet has recently cruisel
repeatedly in the North Sea without
meeting the British naval forces, and
that several of the cruises of the high
seas feet have carried powerful YES
sells of the German navy into English

BRITISH FORCES
HOLD FORTRESS
DESPITE HEROIC
RUSH GERMANS
(By Associated Press. J

LONDON, April 23-British forces,
despite repeated German rushes, hold
a tight grip on Hill No. 60, near Ypres
and this afternoon fighting in that To-
cality shows signs of developing along
"a wide front, and with increasing in
tensity.
The German attempts to break
through the British lines are describ-
ed in today's news dispatches as riv-
aling those featuring the German at
tempt to break through the British
wall defending Belgium during last
fall. Fatalities during the fighting
have been heavy on both sides, though
German losses have greatly exceeded
those of the British, this being ex-
planned by the German offensive.
The city of Ypres, according to to-
days official British report, is the
target for heavy shells, and late today
a noticeable lessening in intensity has
become apparent in the German coun-
ter attacks upon the British position.
Both sides, it is assumed, have been
heavily reinforced since the begin
ming of the struggle for possession of
Hill No. so, and other troops are be
ing sent forward to assist the British.
Big Naval Battle May Be Imminent.
Unusual interest centered this morn
ing about the order of the British Ad-
miralty which prohibits absolutely all
traffic between Great Britain and Hol-
land, and much speculation is being
INDUCED in concerning the probable
cause of the order At Flushing a
number of ships engaged in trans
Channel traffic remained at their moor
ings today, and no one seems to know
how long the suspension of commun-
ication with the Low Countries is to
continue in effect.
Public opinion in certain circles ap-
parently believes the order is aimed
at suppressing the activities of spies,
but in other circles this version is
not credited as being even probable.
Hostile warships in the vicinity OF
trade routes heretofore controlled by
Great Britain, or an impending naval
battle between the British and German
high seas fleets, is given as most prob
ably the cause for the admiralty's
drastic order, and clash between the
opposing squadrons is hourly eX-
pected by many.
Fight For The DardaneIleS Opening
No word concerning events trans
piring either on the Sinai peninsula or
OF the shores of the Gulf of Saros has
teen permitted to pass the British
censor today, but German advices pro-
fess to believe extensive land opera.
tions are imminent in that area of hos
tilities.
Public opinion here fails to credit
official reports that only 10000 troops
have been landed on the Gallipoli pc
nonsula by the Allies, and it is gener-
ally believed that an army numbering
fully 100000 men has been landed on
Turkish territory. e..

The largest and most successful
Sunday school convention ever
held ia Georgia closed last night. To-
day most of the 1000 visitors to our
city have left and Americus is quiet
and lonesome. The presence OF the
large number of visitors kept things
lively and on the jump here for the
last three days.
Delegates and state officials alike
are loud in their praise of Americus
and the people here. The officials Of
the Georgia Sunday School associatiol /
say that this is the best convention
ever held. The delegates, entertained
in the private homes of the city, say
Americus is the best city they have yet
visited. Every one of the 1000 visit
ors here left Americus thoroughly con-
verted into an Americus booster.
