found in the sand, eight miles from
the spot where the auto attempted to
cross the creek.
Colburn was the brother Of Walter

Springs ZOO Searching parties were
Immediately organized and it re-
mained for George Maxwell to discov-
half-brother. Lucas body has not
been discovered.
i Colburn and Robinson were partial
ly undressed, indicating an attempt on
their part to take their clothes off in
order to be able to better swim the
stream. Robinson's body was found
one and half miles above Colburn's
lodge on a sandbar. Coroner Boyle

Sir William osler,
 66 Today, Says Few
 Wounds Are Deadly

Sir William Osler, the world-fa-l nous surgeon, will pass his sixty sixth milestone today, having been born at Tecumseh, Ont, July 12. 1s49 ucated at Trinity College, Toronto; McGflI University Montreal; Uut- versity College London, and the uni versailles of Berlin and Vienna He was successiyely member of the medical faculties of McGilI. the Uni Hopkins University, Baltimore. Ten years ago he settled in England as regius professor Of medicine at OK ford University. In one of his last addresses at Baltimore Dr. Osler commented on the s'comparative use lessness of men above forty years of age" and quoted Anthony TroIlope's facetious statement that men of sixty should retire for year of contem- plat1on, after which they should be chloroformed. This remark was taken seriously, although not so in tended and aroused wide comment
 Since the war Sir William has been actively engaged in inspecting the military hospitals of England and France. He has expressed the. opin- ion that this conflict will establish a new record for low mortality among the wounded. Comparatively few bullet wounds are now fatal. he de- cIares, ana he speaks Of the phe- nomena of soldiers going about with perforating wounds, the bullets hav- ing passed entirely through the body, and suffering little pain or, incon- venience.
 s"This result says Sir William, 'is partly due to the self-sterilization of the modern high-veIocity bullets and partly to efficient field first aid In an interview with an American correspondent some months ago, Sir William expressed the view that the allies are fighting the battle of the United, States as we'll as their own. He added: This does not mean that think the United States should in tervene- The allies, think, can fight their own battles, and the ad- Justing head of a great neutral power, when the fate of the world trembles in the scale of battles, is not to be minirnized.''

VISITORS WATCH JACKIES AT FIRE
 ON BATTLESHIP
Flames Near Magazines on U. $. $. Alabama Are
 Quickly Distinguished.

Philadelphia, July 12.-Ffve hundred visitors were aboard the battleship Alabama, flagship of Rear Admiral Helm, commander of the reserve fleet at League Island, yesterday afternoon, when fire was discovered under the forward turret of the 13-inch guns and dangerously close to the magazines. When the alarm gong began booming the crew divided itself into two parts, half fighting the, flames and the other hustling the guests down the gang plank.
 It took an hour of stiff work to sub due the flames, which at one time were so threatening that a squad of men was ordered to stand by and be ready to flood the magazines.
 When the alarm started many of the visitors imagined they were about to witness some sort of 8 fire drill, but when a few minutes later they caught Ia glimpse of smoke from the hatch ways near the turret there was a gen eral rush for the shore. But there was no chance for any disorder, as the bluejackets were at their posts in a jiffy, directing the frightened men and women across the decks and down the gangways. Some of the sailors were at first inclined to believe the changing of the bell meant simply a summons for a fire drill.
 In a few moments everybody but the crew was ashore. while those aboard fought the fire with concen- tration and precision. Their efforts were directed. by Lieutenant W. c. McCracken, in command of the ship.
 The smoke at first was so dense that it was difficult to find the f1ames. All the electrical currents in the vessel were shut off as soon as the discovery was made, so that the fire fighters would not be in danger of receiving shocks. The men used electric lights crawling in and out of the manho1e- l like openings of the turret.
 The Alabama only recently returned from doing patrol duty off the Virginia capes, and her magazines were. loaded to capacity with ammunition. Rear Admiral Helms was not aboard | when the fire occurred. but upon re- turning and learning of the way the 1 tackles behaved he was quick to com mend them.
 It is believed that the fire was start ed by a short circuit.

ROB TAILOR SHOP
 FOR FOURTH TIME
 WITHIN I2 MONTHS
Burglars Strip Nichols Place of Costly Cloth After Clever
 Entrance.

Burglars got in their work on Satur-
 day night with telling results, one bur glary alone netting more than $200 ac- cording to the estimate furnished the
 police by Harry Nichols, State street tailor, whose shop was burglarized in 8 most daring manner sometime be- tween midnight and o'clock Sunday morning.
 So bold were the burglars that they not only cut their way through bars and electric protection, but worked di-
 rectIy in the front of the store and later packed a quantity of cloth that must have required at least four men
 to carry away
 !. The burglary was committed by
 climbing a rear fire escape, drilling through newly placed shutters with a
 brace and bit so as to cut a hole one foot by two feet square, prying open a window and then doing similar work upon an inner door where the bolt was
 cut away by the use of a brace and bit.
 Those who had entered then cleaned ] the counters of all seasonable cloth, taking about 20 bolts, which they car
 ried to a rear room and stripped of the
 boards. Returning to the front of the
 store they dumped samples out of
 cases and used the boxes to pack the loot. They also rffIed the shop of all suits of clothes that had been newly pressed.
 It is the fourth time within year
 that the Nichols tailor shop at 267
 State street has been entered. The l first time 8 similar amount of cloth was taken. Nichols put on heavily
 barred wooden shutters locked by a
 four foot iron bar. The second and third time, entrance was made through the front door by sneak thieves, which
 resulted In an electric alarm being in-
 stalled. This time the shutters were
 demolished.
 The place is said to afford easy egress in several ways and the police are inclined to believe that the bur
 glars departed through an alleyway
 into Gilbert street.
 1 Borg's saloon on Cannon street was
 robbed early Sunday and cigars,
 whfskey and $4 in change were taken. l Entrance was effected by breaking the glass in a rear transom. J. Porter's
 market at TAO State street was entered Fin manner similar to that used to 1 get into the Nichols store.

SIR FREDERICK SMITH

Sir Frederick Edwin Smith, Solici- tor-General in the new coalition cab inet of Great Britain and formerly official censor of the war bureau and eeye witness with the British army at the front vd1I be forty three years old today. Sir Frederick received the honor Of knighthood upon his eleva- ton last May to the post of Solicitor General. one Of the two great law of fees of the Crown. He has been de- scrfbed as '~the eleverest man in EnE- land" and as a Unionist politician he has lived up to that reputation. At the beginning of the war he was made director of the official press bureau Of the war office, but in that capacity he failed to please the newspapers. as was quite natural Tn the latter part of September he was ordered to the front, and was succeeded as censor by Sir Stanley Buckma.ster, former Solicitor-General, who was recently made Lord High Chancellor and ele- vated to the peerage. Sir Frederick s father was in his youth a private sol dier, but by his own ability he became a barrister. The son carried every thing before him at school and at OK ford, winning every scholarship for which he competed. After leaving college he became a member of the bar, and built up a legal practice which, before he entered official life, was said to give him ., larger income than any other English barrister. In 1906 he entered the House of Com m ons, and soon gained such pronnin- ence in the ranks Of the Opposition that he was assured of cabinet rank in the event of return of the Union ists to power. He was the bitter po- ltiical enemy, but the close personal friend. of Winston Churchill. and this friendship led to the appointment of Smith to the directors1aip of the press bureau when the war began. As t.eye witness at the front the news papers looked upon him with much more favor than they had when he was censor.
