Later reports from SittingbOurne
said that two German aeroplanes ap.
peared there. The first was seen over
Margate, flying rapidly west along the
Chatham.Dover railway. The aviator
passed near the Canterbury cathedral,
but did not attack that edifice. Bombs
were then dropped upon Faversham,
but no damage was done.
Aviator Drops Bombs.
The first bomb at Sittingbourne fell
harmessly in an orchard, but the see.
ond aviator dropped several in the out.
skirts Of the town.
The Germans were obviously on a
scouting expedition. From Sitting
bourne a British aeroplane set out in
hot pursuit and antiaircraft guns
doomed out as shells were sent into the
sky, cnly to explode without bringing
down the invaders The Taubes fled
before the British machine, which lat
er was joined by two other aeroplanes
One of the British airmen got close
enough to one of the Germans to ex.
change shots with the invader.
With the two Zeppelin attacks, the
raid by the aviatUs was the third
made by the Germans across the North
sea within less than 40 hours.
1t was believed that the aeroplanes
intended to lombard the dockyards at
Sheerness and the aviation station at
/ Chatham. Bombs were also dropped
upon the camp Of the Royal Dublin
fusileers, near Sittingbourne. The air
raiders were driven off, however, by
"A hot fire from the British guns.
As result Of reports received late
this evening it was believed that at
least three Taubes and possibly more
participated in the aeroplane raid. One
of the machines passed over Canter-
bury in the direction Of Dover. Forty.
five minutes later the aeroplane re.
turned, heading in a northeasterly di.

FIVE SHOT IN
PRIMARY FIGHT
Reporter Killed Four Wounded, and MI
litia Ordered Under Arms as Result
of Charlestown Contest.

Charleston, S. c., Oct. l6.--Sidney J
Cohen, a newspaper reporter, was killed
and four men were shot in row that
occurred here yesterday just outside tht
room where the Democratic city execu
tive committee was to meet to canvass
the returns Of the municipal primary last
Tuesday.
Joseph Black, of the Democratic execu.
tive committee, is reported to have been
shot in the abdomen.
A man named Wingate is also said to
have been seriously, if not fatally,
wounded.
The Democratic primary developed into
such a bitter fight between the adherents
of Mayor John p. Grace and Tristan
II. Hyde, running at the head of the
tickets, that trouble was feared. Rep
reservations made to Governor Manning
by the sheriff and the Democratic ex-
ecutiye committee resulted in the gov
ernor ordering four companies of militia
and three divisions Of naval militia held
at their armories. The militia was not
dispersed until o'clock on Wednesday
morning.
The unofficial count showed that Hyde
had won by 10 votes, but more than 100
votes were contested.
Columbia, $. c., Oct i8s--As soon as
Governor Manning received notice of the
shooting he ordered the Washington
light infantry of Charleston under arms,
and placed Colonel E. NJ. Blythe of
Greenyille in charge of the militia dur
ing the absence of Adjutant General
Moore.
Later the governor called the entire
second regiment of the National Guard
under arms TO await eyentualities in
Charleston.
The governor also ordered the Charles
ton board Of control TO close the dispen-
saries.

The Plan Is Said to Be Fa-

ident
MAY REGARD ii
AS NECESSARY
This May Lead to the Revi-
sion Of Other Seized
ules

Washington, Oct. l6.--President Will
son is considering the ACCESSIBILITY. OF
recommending a small duty on wool as a
means of raising revenue necessary to
meet the expenses of the government
next year. He may incorporate rec
concentration in the message to Congress
asking for suspension of the provision
of the Underwood tariff law,
law, which puts sugar on the free list on
May ] next.
Members Of Congress have been in
formed that Secretary McAdoo is in
clined to favor the restoration of duty
on wool as well as the suspension of
the free sugar schedule and that he has
urged this course upon the president.
Each member of Congress will have his
own special tariff interests and Presi-
dent Wilson may find it difficult to OBJ
tain votes on the sugar and wool SEIZED.
ule without making concessions in other
directions.
Before any decision is reached in re-
gard TO wool the president will hold
further conferences with Congress lead
ers. !. The Democratic leaders, including
Mr.. Underwood, were by no means averse
in the last session to leyying small
duty on wool as means of producing
revenue. The personal insistence of the
president was chiefly responsible for put
ting both wool and sugar on the free
list
Ii the administration decides to ask
for a duty on wool the step will of
course be defended, as will the recon-
mendation to suspend the free sugar
schedule, on the ground that the Eu
ropean war shas created an extraordi /
nary situation which it was absolutely |
impossible to foresee at the time of the I
drafting of the tariff law. 1t will be /
contended that the duties are being re-
stored solely to raise revenue. AT the
same time there are many who welcome
the opportunity to make changes in the
Underwood Simons law because they be-
lieve it has worked hardship on the
industries of the country and that this
can be at least partly corrected under
cover of the revenue situation created
by the European war.

BREAKING UP RACE HORSE FARM.
Great Bluegrass Estate to Lose Valuable
Horses.

Lexington, KY, Oct. l6.--A sale of
thoroughbreds which will begin October
rs, will mark the passing OF the race
horse breeding farm, Elmendorf, an s.
600 acre bluegrass estate valued at 49,
100000, established near Lexington by
the late James b. Haggin, who for TWEEN
ty years was the greatest breeder of race
horses in the world. The stations, Bal
lot, Hessian and Sain, with sixty-eight
broodmares and thirty-one ycarlings are
to go under the hammer.
From the early nineties to 1901,
Mr.. Haggin imported from England and
the Antipodes the celebrated stations,
1 Watercress, Goldfnch. Darebin, Golden
Garter, Sir Modred, Star Ruby, Presses
pans, Toddington, Dieudonne, Greenan,
Bassetlow and St. Andrew, and scores of
highly bred mares, and from these, and
from American stock he developed and
marketed more race horses than all 9th
err American breeders Of his time COM
bined
Between 1894 and 1905 Mr. Haggin
maintained from 900 to 900 stations
and mares at 30000-acre ranch in Cali
fornia, known as the Rancho del Paso
stud, and from 1897 to 1912 there were
from $50 to 800 stations and mares at
Elmendorf, which place he began to or
ganize in 1897, by purchasing the old
Swigart farm.
Ranch del Paso was abandoned in 1905
and the stations and mares there were
auctioned, Mr.. Haggin buying the most
desirable for Elmendorf.
nhtaip fba uto1Itnn paIfa{ Mr.
Haggin paid the highest price given for
a native American thoroughbred stall
lion since Sir Martin sold for $4,000
in 1908. Ballot won eighteen races, |
worth sl5O000 during his four years
on the turf, in America and in England. |
The Suburban handicap, at Sheephead I
bay, was one of his victories.
There were upward of $50 mares and
fifty or more stations at Elmendorf /
when Gov Hughes of New York put
through his anti-racing laws of 1908 and
1910, and Mr. Haggin, realizing that it
would be impossible to market in this
country the produce OF an establish
ment 80 considerable, without racing
lbut New New York City to maintain a
demand for young stock, began to ship
his thoroughbreds to other countries. He
sent yearlings to England and France
Tor seven seasons. stations and mares to
the Argentine Republic and mares to
France, England. Austria Hungary and
Germany. The breeders of the Argen-
tine secured the famous stallion Kin

MAY ASK FIVE BIG
SHIPS THIS YEAR
Navy Department Officials Announced
Late Yesterday Afternoon
That This May
Be Plan.

Washington, Oct. l6,.--Tt was said at
the navy department late yesterday aft
ernoon that the first years naval build
ing program when presented in final
form might be expanded to two dread
naughts and three battle cruisers. Off
cials worked over the figures for several
hours following the White House con-
ference in an effort to distribute the
sums equally over the fve.year period,
and it was considered quite possible
that five capital ships might be asked
for as the initial step in the program.
