When IL is Darkest.

BY his own observations on thou.
sands of nights w. F. Denning. the
English scientist, has proved that we
are scientifically correct when we say
that it is always darkest just before
dawn" He has found that before
dawn a great darkness invariably
seems to drop down like a mantle upon
the immediate surroundings. Objects
which were plainly observable during
the previous hours of the night are
bIotted out, and nervous feeling is
sometimes induced by the dense opac-
ity of the air.

LOCAL ATTORNEYS DIFFER
IN SPEER-IAMDDiM CASE
Others Think Ju,sae Lambdin's
Plan Is the Best.

Brunswick attorneys seem to be pret-
ty. well divided as, to the dispute now
on between United States court Judges
Emory Speer and w. w. Lambdin as
to division of the work in the cir
cult, which it is expected will have to
be finally decided by Judge Pardee
of the circuit court at New Orleans.
Many local lawyers contend that
congress did not intend for the dis
trict to be divided into two divisions,
therefore they agree with Judge Speer
that the rotation system, as suggested
by him, is the only and best plan
Others argue that the proposition of
Judge Lambdin, calling for a division
of the circuit is the only way to prop
erly work out the problem. However,
this, it is pointed out, is almost i'm
possible as congress did not provide
in the bill creating the judge for new

STORY WRITER, FOUND DEAD

NEW YORK, March 25-Morgan
standing up in his room in a hotel
in Atlantic City last night, had a
romantic career as a sailor author,
jeweler and inventor of submarine
periscope. He was one of the most
prolific writer's of short sea stories
America has produced.
Running away from his home in
Oswego, N. Y, when 16 years old, he
shipped as cabin boy and made two
voyages around the world, occupying
in the next ten years nearly every post
on shipboard
Rreturning to America he. made his
home in New York and became a
matchmaker and diamond setter, but
after two years, in which he said he
was almost constantly broke" he
began to write sea stories, which have
been familiar to all readers of peri
odicals for 20 years.
Although he wrote more than 200
stories, which have Deen published
in Il volumes. he recently asserted
in an unsigl I'd autobiography that
he had bN Eedgced to Strengthened
circunS Is. Friends were making
an ITO aid him at the time
Developing the idea while writing
story, Mr.. Robertson invented in
1905 an improved periscope for sub
marines, which was purchased by a
builder of such craft. His studio in
this city was fitted like ships

AND DARDANELLES.

LONDON, March 25.--The Evening
Chronicle publishes a dispatch from
Bucharest, Roumania, saying Turkey
recently decided to surrender Constan-

a recent cabinet meeting to send
emissaries, one Of whom was the
American ambassador, Henry Morgen-
thau, to the Dardanelles to negotiate
with the commander Of the allied
fleet for the surrender Of the straits
and of COnstantinople," says the
Chronicle. "Just as everything seemed
settled the German general, Liman
Won Sanders, heard o. the plan and
nipped it with the threat Of court
martial for all concerned"

there are one or two little places

The fact that these county roads are

UNITED STATES
REQUEST DENIED
BY THE ENGLISH
Great Britain Refuses to Station
A Consul at Port OF
Kirkwall.
WASHINGTON IS SURPRISED
1t Was for the Purpise of Secur-
ing information on Ships De-
tanned at KirkWalI That a
Consul Was Wanted.

LONDON, March 25.-The British
government has refused the request
of the United States for the permis-
sion to station an American consular
officer at Kirkwall to report on Ameri-
can cargo ships detained.
A similar request has been denied
others interested in shipping de-
tanned in the Orkneys.
The United States has experienced
great difficulty in obtaining informa-
tion concerning ships detained at
Kirkwall forthe past three months.
Because of Kirkwall's insular loca-
ton communication is difficult and
ships officers frequently are unable
to report until their vessels are taken
from Kirkwall to some English or
other Scottish port to unload the al
legged contraband on board.
Until the opening Of the war Kirk
wall was an unimportant port; con-
sequently the United States never had
any consular representative there.

ISLAND RESORTS
To Be CROWDED
y DURING SUMMER
Indications Point to the Most
Il Successful Season in
Years.
TRAVEL TO BE TO SEACOAST
1t Is Expected That All of Is
lands Along the Georgia Coast
Will Be Crowded This Sum-
mer With Inland Visitors.

You people down on the coast
must prepare for the biggest summer
season you have ever known" said a
well-known drummer who was in
Brunswick on one of his regular trips
yesterday, and who has just been all
through Georgia and Alabama.
Everybody who usually takes a
summer trip, going abroad or to some
of the costly American resorts, are
this year figuring on visiting nearer
home and, as a result the Caoroia
seacoast is undoubtedly SONG 10 prove
most popular pace. lii ,ny ,4oIs
over Georgia and Alabama, I've heard
much discussion on the question of
summer vacations, and aimost every
person who is not figuring on a trip
to the San Francisco exposition, stated
that they expected to spend some time
on the seacoast in Georgia and Flor
ida"
This drummer is not the first per-
son who has expressed the belief that
the coming season would be one of
the greatest in the history of he sea
coast in Georgia. In past ye. IS the
travel from this state to the MOI y Ca
rolina mountains and other resor,5 has
been large, but this season the condi-
tion is apparently gong to be differ
ent. Money is not as free just at
present as it has been in the past, and
those who are able to take a vacation
will select nearby place. The travel
abroad will be almost entirely elm
mated this summer: and many of these
people will spend the vacations at
nearby resorts.
AS st. Simon and Cumberland are
two of the most popular resorts along
the south Atlantic coast, it is expected
that both of them will entertain un-
usually large crowds this season. AS
matter of fact many inquiries have
already been received regarding the
opening dates, rates, etc, of these re-
sorts. The indications point to a great
season and it is expected that all of
the hotels will be crowded during the
entire summer.

She Was Sunk by Bomb After
Reef Had Been Struck,
Ii Is Said
WHILE BAND WAS PLAYING
German Officers States That
Flags Were Flying From Stern
and Bow and Music Playing
When She Went to Bottom.

NEW YORK, March 25.-German
naval Officers at .BremerhaVCn are
quoted as saying that the German
cruiser Karlsruhe lies at the bottom
of the sea in the West Indies, by Jesse
Boyd, second officer of the American
steamer Carib, sunk by mine in the
North sea.
Boyd reached here today from Rot
terdam on the steamship Rotterdam.
He said he spent five days at Bremer-
haven and through an old friend now
an officer in the German navy OBJ
tanned positive confirmation of the
rumor that the German raider was no
longer afloat.
The Karlsruhe went down with the
German flag flying from every mast
and at stern and bow, and with the
ships band playing martial music,
according to this story. A German
bomb sent her to the bottom after
she had struck reef. AS the last
flag dipped beneath the water Ger
man rifles fired full salute in her
honor. Some of her crew now are
said TO be at Bremerhaven and others
are still alive-some where. Mr.. Boyd
said he did not want to appear too
inquisitive, so did not ask many ques-
tions, but he inferred that the men
who had not made Bremerhaven still
were in the West Indies or had landed
in South America.
Mr.. Boyd's friends said he had
seen and talked with members of the
karlsruhe'S crew at BremerhaVen.
AL who had reached Germany, he
said, were decorated for valor by
order of the emperor
The Karlsruhe struck the reef, ac-
cording to Mr.. BOyd's informant, in
December. For some time her crew
tried to free her, but was unsuccess-
full. When it was certain she would
be found by enemy warships and fall
into their hands, it was decided to de-
stroy her
The crew was taken off and placed
aboard one of the captive ships,
which the Karlsruhe conveyed A
bomb was then placed in Il vital spot
on the stranded cruiser and from a
distance the sailors ard officers saw
her go down
