NEW SEAMAN'S LAW is
IN EFFECT THIS WEEK

NEW YORK, Nov. 2-Vntually all
the steamship companies operating
American owned steamers in and out
of New York harbor have made ar
rangements to comply with the new
seaman's law which becomes opera
tive on Thursday. This law requires
rs per cent of the crew to be able
to understand the language used by
their officers and calls for additional
life boat and safety equipment
1t was stated today that the South
ern Pacific, Old Dominion, Clyde, Nal
lory, Porto Rico, Cuba, and New Eng
land transportation lines are endeavor-
ing to obey the new law. So far as
known only one steamer has been
withdrawn from service here because
of the new requirements. Managers
of some of the steamship companies
sad tina tthe clause requiring that
steamers must carry sufficient life
boats for every person on board might
compel them to carry fewer passen-
gers than heretofore

THIRTEEN DIE IN
A TENEMENT FIRE
VICTIMS ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN FIRST OVERCOME
BY GAS

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Thirteen per-
sons, six men, three women and for r
children, lost their lives in a fire
which destroyed a three-story brick
tenement house at 66 North Sixth
street, near the river front, in Brook
lyn, early today. Most of the victims
were overcome by gas which leaked
from broken pipe in the building
and are believed to have been uncon.
scious before the fire started Many
of them were found dead in bed All
were Poles.
The building was occupied by fam
lilies having as boarders and laborers
employed in a sugar factory. The gas
which filled the lower floor of tre
house exploded, spreading the flames
and cutting off exits by the halls.
Those not overcome by the gas fled by
the fire escapes.
One man, a spectator, died of heart
disease caused by excitement. The
explosion was attributed to the break
ing of lamp left burning in hall
way. Officials investigated a report
that the blaze was incindiary

crossed the Ogeechee river bridge
near here caused him TO lose his bal
ance. The train reached Butts sta

before Russell was missed.
THE train ran back to the spot
where Russell fell off and search

CLOSE CALL FOR
THESE FOUR MEN
AUTO TURNED TURTLE WITH
THEM NEAR MACON, BUT ALL
ESCAPED UNINJURED

Four Brunswick young men, who left
here the latter part of last week in
Ford machine, to take in the state
fair at Macon, returned to the city
Monday. However, they did not have
very much to say about the big Ma
con attraction, but an accident to the
machine when some 20 miles from
the Central City was the principal
subject discussed by them.
The occupants of the machine were
CORTLAND Akin, A. o. Anderson, Robt.
Brown and Mr. Gilliland, the latter
driving the car. The Brunswick par
ty say that only one thing saved them,
and that is that the top of the car
was down and when the machine
turned over they managed to clear the
wreck.
The auto was moving a!Cng at a fair
rate of speed, when a sharp turn in
the road was reached Tie machine
came upon it 50 suddenly that the
brakes could not be applied, and it
went over the embankment, turning
completely over, and throwing all four
of the occupants a distance of fif-
teen or twenty feet. If the top LA D,
been up, they all state, they would
have been pinned in the machine and
would have either been killed or badly
injured.
Another auto party was just behind
the Brunswick car and the local peo-
pie were picked up. The car was
partly wrecked and was left in the
country for the night. The next morn
made the necessary repairs and the
party then went on into Macon, spend
in, ~ o days at +he fair ana returning
to ihe city Monlay.

British Torpedo Boat Reported
Sunk at Gibraltar and Two
Officers and Nine Men Report
ed as Missing.

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 2 (Via Lon
dom "A new Anglo French expedition
to the Balkans is announced by the
Berlin Tagebatt. This newspaper pub
fishes telegram from sofia stating
that British and French transports
with troops have appeared off Kavala,
Greece
Kavala is on the north coast of the
Aegean in Greece about twenty miles
west of the Bulgarian border. 1t is
eighty miles northeast of the Greek
port of Saloniki, where the first de-
tachments of British and French
troops were landed fo rthe Serbian
campaign.
Kavala is the nearest Greek port to
the Gallipoli peninsula, and might be
selected as the landing place in case
French and British troops were with
drawn from the peninsula for service
against Bulgaria. A Berlin dispatch
yesterday said troops now on the Ser
bian front, brought in by way of Salon
Xxi, had been sent from the penin-
sula.
A few miles north from KavaIa is
the railroad which runs to the Bulga-
rian port of Dedeaghatch.

TWO FULL-RlGGERS HERE;
TWO MORE ARE COMING
Sailing Vessels Seem to Be Com
ing to Their Own Again

1t looks pretty natural to see two
or three full-rigged ships tied up to
wharves along Brunswick's river
front. There was a time, not 80 many
years ago, when these vessels were
always in port, taking on large car
goes for many countries, but in recent
years they have given way to the
steam vessels, and it has been seldom
that one of them was in port.
1t may be because all steamers are
in great demand just at present, but
these full-rigged ships are busy on
the high seas again and there are now
two in Brunswick and two or three
more bound here. The Kileens and
the Titania are both here taking on
cargoes, while the Doom Is expected
in few days to load crOssties for the
American Tie and Timber company,
and still another Is enroute to this
port for a cargo Of cotton seed cakes.
1t is understood that number OF
others will probably visit the port in
the next few weeks.

Major Frank R. Lang, U. S. A, re-
tired, was acquitted of seven of the
eight charges against him by plea
of bar before a court-martial at Fort

jor Lang set up the plea he was ac-
quilted in January at Columbus bar
racks, Ohio, of raising a voucher from
$2S to $42 and to try him now on the
allegation that he committed perjury
when he swore he was not guilty,
was placing him in jeopardy twice for
the same offense. Seven of the eight
specifications rested on the perjury
charge and majority of the court
martial sustained the motion to dis
miss.

Warnings Needed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. .-AnXiety OF
administration officials for the safety
of American citizens along the MeAi-
can border, as a result of the fighting
between the Carranza and Villa ar
mics, was somewhat relieved today.
This was based upon reports that
warning by General Thomas F. Davis,
commanding the American troops en.
trenched on the international borders,
to the commanders Of the warning
factions at Aqua Prieta, to cease fir
ing into American territory had been
needed The warning came after the
serious wounding OF Louis F. Taylor,
an American, by shot fired from a
machine gun.
Major General Funston, who. was
due to arrive at Douglas, Ariz,, to-
day to take personal charge of the
situation, had instructions from the
war department to return any fire
from Mexican territory endangering
lives on the American side of the
line. Should bullets continuously fall
into Arizona, United States troops are
to shell the faction which fires into
American territory.

GREECE AGAIN TURNS
TOWARD THE ALLIES

LONDON, Nov. 2.-In official Greek
circles an attitude more favorable to
the allies apparently has been as,
sumed.
Reuters correspondent at Athens
telegraphs that simultaneously with
the official denial of reports of
Greece's hostility toward the entente
powers came a change in tone of the
ministerial press, which now is pub
fishing articles in favor of the allies.
These articles presumably are in
spired.
Notwithstanding the drift of opin-
ion, it is maintained that the neu-
trality of Greece, will be adhered to
as long as possible. The correspond
ent says there are indications that
any attempt to change the policy of
the government would result in the
fall of the cabinet.

Change in Roumania.

MILAN, November 1 (Via Paris,
Nov. 2).-"Two weeks of Bulgarian
action in Servia has brought about a
change in Roumanian public opinion
which sixteen months of intervention
list propaganda failed to do" M. Fill
pesco, leader of the Roumanian con-
servatives, is said by the Bucharest
Sera to have declared in an interview
"The Bulgarians' conduct" continued
M. Filipesco, has shown our people
the danger which threatens them. Not
withstanding material difficulties the
sentiment which caused intervention
preston of the will of the country,
which does not want to allow itself
to be stifled by Bulgarians and Hun
garians."
A liberal party leader who was in
terviewed was credited with having
happy to enlarge Roumania's bounda-
ries, but wished to be certain he was
not embarking upon a crazy adven-
ture and to be sure that he had the
unanimous support of all sections of
the country.
The CoTI.ere Della Seras correspon-
dent expresses the belief that rapid
and successful action by the allies in
the Balkans cannot fail to bring
about the entry of Roumania into the
war on their side.
