FRENCH SHIP SUNK
OFF native COAST
rev LEASED wIRE,l

PARIS, Feb 17.-Official announce
ment was made in the ministry of ma
rine this afternoon that German SUBJ
marine sank the French steamer Vile
De Lille off Barfleur. The ship was
torpedoed while on her way from
Cherbourg to Dunkirk. The command
er of the submarine gave the crew of
the steamer ten minutes in which to
leave the vessel.
The German submarine was the
U-16. The Vile De Lille attempted to
escape when she was hailed by the
submarine, but was overtaken and
compelled to stop.
A statement issued by the ministry
of marine this afternoon states that
after sinking the French steamer the
German submarine attacked a Norwe-
gian steamer. but that French torpedo
boats came up from Cherbourg while
the submarine was pursuing the neu-
trail vessel and compelled her to dive
beneath the surface.
This is the first time that an at
tack by German submarine upon a
neutral vessel has been reported

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - The

was sent over to it. Leaders on both
sides declared that the bill either will
be awaiting President Wilson's sigma
ture by the end Of the week or Will
be laid aside with all hope gone for
it's passage at this session. The pros
poets appeared to favor the later as
the Republicans were determined 10
continue their filibuster.
The method of pressing the mousse
bill in the senate was under discus
sion when the hour for converting ar
rived. The leaders were planning TO
ask for a conference as the Weeks
naval mail line bill, which was made
a part of the house ship bill. has
passed the senate. This move would
deprive the upper house of chance -
amend the bill as it would then come
before the senate as a conference re-
port not subject to, change. Such q
course, however, the Democratic lead
ers recognized, would make 1t impos-
sible to prevent Republican fill
buster.

KELLY GETS RIGHT
TO BUY MORTGAGE

Petition of the trustee of the Com
mons Dairy company, J. A. Spekenhier.
to sell two second mortgage notes of
a total value of $4,000 given by Bender
and Oates for $500 to William H.
Kelley, was granted in circuit court
today.
1t is understood Attorney Kelley is
acting for outside clients who are try
ing to secure possession of the dairy
company property. The suit of the In
ion National bank against the trustee
OF the Commons Dairy company and
Joseph f. Bender for $4,000 to fore
close a first mortgage for $1,000 was
dismissed. Kelly also purchased the
first mortgage and now holds for his
clients all of the mortgage indebted
ness against the creamery plant.
There are many small creditors in
Richmond who will share in settle
ment on the $500 cash secured from
the sale Of the second mortgage notes.

pected Soon.
[BY LEASED WIRE.1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE ten
sion existing between the United
States and the belligerents in the Eu-
ropean conflict was relaxed today by
a reassuring word at the White House
that President Wilson is confident that
the international situation will be
cleared without embroiling the United
States in warfare.
A report published In a New York
morning newspaper today saying that
the President was deeply disturbed
over the situation was declared by the
White House to be Outrageous
The United States intends to deal
with the situation firmly but there is
a deeply rooted belief at the White
House that a German submarine will
never blow up an American merchant
man, despite the warning recently is
sued by the German admiralty. This
warning is now interpreted to have
been put out for it's effect in Great
Britain; to send up insurance rates on
shipping and to make foreign trade
precarious.

WOULD CUT TAXES
BOWMAN DECLARES
Auditor Says Assessors Will
Receive instruction at Ses-
sion for Sixth District Off
Gals Soon.

The meeting of assessors of the
Sixth district in the court house Fri
day probably will be round table
discussion. according to Auditor Bow
man who has been looking into the
matter with County Assessor Math-
ews
Mr.. Bowman said today it is proba-
BILE there will be higher assessments
this year than ever before.
1T Is up to the assessors to see
whether the law is followed out or
will be disobeyed as In previous years"
Mr.. Bowman said.
He added the interesting statement
that If the property in Wayne county
were assessed according to statute,
the tax rates in the county, townships,
city of Richmond and towns would be
cut In half.
Doubles Assessment.
ut would mean a doubled property
assessment" the auditor declared.
From the fact that the state board
program from the state office for the
Sixth district meeting, believe the
tax commissioners will make their
statements Informally instead of deliv-
ering set speeches as they did last
year.
1.-The assessment schedules will be
made out and handed to the assessors
Immediately after the meeting What
changes will be made on personal
property schedules will depend largely
on what recommendations the tax
commissioners make"
Mr.. Bowman said the total taxable
valuation in Richmond is $16,4OO, 900
and in the county about $35,OOO,O 900.
There are about $4,000 assessed indi-
viduals. firms and corporations in the

BUENOS AIRES, Argentine, Feb. II
The German steamer Holger with
the crews of several sunken British
ships on board was reported today
heading for Buenos Aires. The identi-
ty of the warship which sank the Brit
ish vessels was mystery. The Hol-
ger has been active in South Atlantic
waters since the beginning of the war.
Early in January she left the port of
Pernambuco secretly, presumably with
supplies for German warships. The
Brazilian government punished the Of
ficfals at Pernambuco for permitting
this alleged breach of neutrality.

CONDITION OF ROADS

County roads are we'll drained and
in excellent condition according to
Richmond motorists who are giving
their automobiles the first run Of the
season.
The roads were drained of surplus
water and are now dry and hard
enough SO that the freezing at night
and thawing by day are not making
them soft and easily damaged.
County Road Superintendent Jones
has his force of superintendent out
inspecting the roads and he has made
a personal inspection of roads in the
past three or four days. He reports
that the highways are in good con-
dition and will be ready soon for the
spring gravel.
