High School Notes

/ PANACA, Nov. 4-The opening Hal
loween party, which was given by
the Lincoln County High and Nor
NAL schools last Saturday evening
was big success, both socially and
The hall was artistical-
ly decorated with the school colors,
red and white. The windows and
stage were fringed with corn and
burning jack-o-lanterns. Extending
back of the orchestra were the GUS
tomary white sheets upon which We're
pinned black cats and black bats In
characteristic Halloween positions.
While the people were assembling,
the only light came from the flick
er.ng k-olanterns, which looked
wierd enough in the dim light. At
8 O'Clock the hall lights were turned
on. Then there was fun for all. Miss
Connell and Lafe Edwards rode the
bucking horse. Miss Connell proved
her capabilities and won the prize.
Immediately following this. GuyHamb-
lin whistled, first after having eaten
two soda crackers. Mrs. w. H. Ed
wards proved more apt at hanging up
clothes than did her husband, Bishop
Edwards and was awarded the prize
which consisted Of sandwich.
The suit race proved of most in
terest. When the boys succeeded II
getting their head dress on and their
kimonas they made remarkable
| sprints across the hall to the ex-
treme delight of all present.

Warning Given
Great Britain
U. S. Serves Notice That Order In
Council Cannot Supersede
Law Of Nations

Washington, July 17.-Formal no
tice that the United States holds that
the rights of Americans who have
cases before British prize courts rest
upo international law and not upon
various British orders in council or
nun cipal law, is given in a brief
statement cabled to Ambassador
Page and presented by him today to
the London foreign office.
Secretary Lansing explained to-
night that this communication was
not to be confused with the general
note now in preparation relating to
contraband and interference with
American commerce on the high
seas. He said 1t was more In the
nature of a legal caveat generally
conserving the rights Of citizens oil
the United States whose cases are
about to be tried by English prize
courts.
Inasmuch as the prize courts have
not yet ruled on any American cases
and are believed to be about to dc
so, the statement from the United
States signifies in effect that if there
is denial of justice, diplomatic pro
tests will be entered, based on thu
general principles OF internationa
law existing before the outbreak o
the war.
The United States has in its form
al notes given Great Britain as wei
as Germany general notice to the ei
feet and tn estatement now sen
draws particular attention to tn
prize court cases pending. It will b.
made public here tomorrow.

for Navy
Experimental Work
Planned by Daniels
Secretary Says Congress viii te
Asked for Something Big
in Appropriation

Washington, July ga definite
plan for navy experimental work on
broader scale than ever before at.
tempted will be laid before Congress
in December by Secretary Daniels.
Its adoption, Mr.. Daniels believes,
ult mately will result in placing the
United States ahead of the remain
der of the world in the machinery
of sea warfare.
Preparation Of the plan, which will
include provision for great central
laboratory of experimentation, will
be proposed as one of the first tasks
to be undertaken by the new civilian
advisory board in conference with
naval offic ais and department ofilci-
ais. Mr.. Daniels said that probably
Congress would be asked for some.
thing big in the way of appropria.
tions to establish and operate the la
boratory in connection with a bureau
of invention and experimentation.
Back today from his conference al
Orange, N. j., with Thomas A. Edi.
son, who is to head the advisory
board, Mr.. Daniels announced that
he would have a statement to make
tomorrow. He indicated that 1t may
include at least a partial list of the
noted inventors and technical experts
who will be asked to make up the
board. Several besides MIR. Edison
are understood to have informally
consented to serve. A letter on the
subject from Mr.. Edison Is expected
at the department tomorrow.
Government purchase of the wire
less control for torpedoes invented
by John Hays Hammond Jr., probably
will be recommended to Congress by
Secretary Garrison.

Says 5 More Ships
Viii be Blown Up
British Steamers Told to Return the
Following Threatening
Letter
Photo by American Press Association.

New Orleans, July IA letter
signed ''Pearce" received by a local
newspaper, said the British steamers
Baron Napier and Howth Head, now
en- route to England with a cargo of
mules, would be blown up.
The letter also contained a threat
against the life of Sir Cecil Spring.
Rice, English ambassador at Wash
ington.
Wireless messages were sent to the
steamers to return to port. 1t is re-
ported that the Baron Napier has
been reached.
Hans Sallee is under arrest be-
cause of his connection with a steam.
ship pot last December.
Says Holt Warned Liner
Interest in the Pearce letter was
increased when il became known
that the writer said II was Frank
Holt, assailant of j. p. Morgan who
spread broadcast the warning when
the Lusitania sailed that ii would
be sunk. The letter declared Holt
called personally on Charles Frohman
to warn him against taking passage
on the Lusitania. The writer de
clared he would ultimately succeed
in killing J p. Morgan TO avenge
the death of Holt"
Passengers Warned
Passengers were warned not &c
take mule carrying ships to England
and to shun all ships, neutral or 9th
erwise, that carried munitions o.
war and especially ammunition t'
Germany's enemies.
While authorities today are inclin
ed to the belief that the writer o
the Pearce letter Is merely a cranl
whose mind had been affected by TN
Holt plot, they determined to sift tn
matter to the bottom, realizing tina
such a man would go to any length
to carry out his expressed plans o
wholesale murder and destruction.
