London, July 1s.-New proposals
have been advanced which. it is under.

settlement of the South Wales coal
strike without prestige by either side.
The situation, however, is still seri-
Gus. No definite information has beeu
announced, but a dramatic turn in tha
situation undoubtedly resulted this af.
ternoon from a communication sent
after the cabinet meeting to the min.
ers' committee at Cardiff. The com.

cation was received, adjourned imme.
dlately and started for London to meet
the President of the Board of Trade.

Washington, July 19-President
Wilson returned this mornig from Cor

White House to begin conferences
with Secretary of State Lansing and
other officials preparatory to tomor-
rows cabinet meeting, at which he
will take up with his official family
the American reply to Germanys note
on submarine warfare.
The President and Secretary Ian
sing discussed the draft of the United
States reply Heretofore these two
officials have been working independ-
entity, but it is understood when they
talked the matter over this morning
it was found that the two had reached
about the same conclusion that the
reply to Germany must be of definite
character, making it clear that the
United States cannot be expected to
remain passive in the event there is
another German attack on an unarmed,
|unresisting ship with loss to American
lives.

Etneys Didn't
Make a Profit
Says Dr.: Rush
LESS THAN 800 FARES RECEIVED
FROM THREE AUTOS IN
ENTIRE DAY.

The three automobiles with which DR.
e. F. Rush yesterday inaugurated Hat
tiesburgs first jitney service took in
less than 800 fares, according to Dr.
Rush's statement made this afternoon
1--WE had two automobiles and a
Ford in service" said Dr. Rush." and
while l have not checked up carefully
think we hauled less than 800 peo-
pie One car took on 105 fares, and
the other $50 fares. The Ford took i'll
considerably less than 100 fares.
The receipts, therefore, amounted
to less than $500 and this just about
pays for the drivers wages, gasoline
and cylinder oil, to say nothing Of
wear and tear and depreciation on the
cars and without any profit.
NO, there doesn't seem to be any
money in the jitney business" added
the doctor. 81 didn't much think so
at the start, but just put the busses
on to accommodate the encampment
people and in a way, to keep the en-
campment in Hattiesburg."
While the Jltneys were hauling
something less than 800 people the
Traction companys street cars carried
75S people. According to the COM
panys report today, this was the exact
number of fares collected on the Wo-
mans College line and was a little
better than the usual Sunday on that
line The Traction Company didn't
notice that the jitneys cut in much on
their receipts, it was stated.

Woman Is Wife of Well-Thought-Of
Hungarian Farmer-Two Teeth
Knocked Out and Neck Bears Marks
of AssaiIant's Clutches-Posses
Search Every Direction Without
Success.

A score of posses each numbering
from three to six determined men,
armed to the teeth, are searching
every section of the country around
Eastabutchie today for Charlie Ward,
a negro brute who attempted a des-
perate criminal assault on Mrs. Joe
Chrisman, wife of a wellthought-of
Hungarian farmer living a few miles
north of Sanford.
The negro attempted his crime in
broad daylight early Sunday morning.
Mr.. Christmas had left Sanford Satur-
day for a visit to relatives in the
North Sunday morning Mrs. Chris
man went to a well near her house
for water. The negro heized her.
sknorAed out two of her front teeth
and choked her, but not before she
had screamed for help.
Her screams frightened the negro,
who hurled Mrs. Chrisman TO the
ground and ran.
Before he left Sanford, the negro
was heard to inquire the shortest
route to Eastabutchie. This is the
only clue to his whereabouts.
1t was about eleven o'clock Sunday
morning before news of the attack
reached the officers at Sanford. 1t
spread quickly and posses were organ
lied on every hand. Suspecting that
in asking the route to Eastabutchie
the negro had attempted to mislead
his pursuers as to his real destination,
several Of the posses took the other
direction Late this afternoon, how
ever, no further clue had been report
ed either at Sanford or Eastabutchie.
Although Mrs. Chrisman's neck
bears the scars Of the clutching hand
of her assailant, and although she is
on the verge of nervous breakdown,
she was able to leave her bed this
morning and has been up today, eager
ly awaiting the news that the brute
who attacked her has been captured.
Ward is described as a black negro,
twenty-eight or thirty years old, about
six feet high and weighing about 165
pounds. His two eye-teeth are gold.
When last seen he wore a cap, fan
mel shirt and pair of yellow trousers.
