Charges That British
 Patrol Crew Killed
 Submarine Captain

New orleans, october 7.-The local German consulate today received ln- structions from Count Von Bernstorff, German ambassador at Washington, to institute a rigid investigation and to forward him affidavits signed by a foreman and four muleteers, who ar rived here from Liverpool aboard the British steamship Nicosian. in which they charged that marines from the British patrol boat Baralong killed the captain and 10 of the crew of Ger man submarine after the submarine had been sunk.
 The affidavits were made by James G. Curran, Chicago; Edward Clark. De- troit; B. Emerson Palen, New York, and Charles D. Hightower, and R. II. Cosby, of Crystal City, Tex. In their statements the five charged that the incident occurred 40 miles off Lundy on August 19, while the Nicosian was en route to Liverpool; that the sub marines shell fire was damaging the Nicosian when the Baralong, which they said had been flying the Amer cin flag. came up and sank the Ger man undersea boat; thst the captain and four of the crew of the submarine climbed aboard the Nicosian, where, the muleteers alleged, British marines killed them, and that six of the sub marines crew were shot while strug- gling in the water Curran also stated that Leroy Young, an American, the Nicosian's second steward, reported the alleged affair to the American consul in Liverpool about August 25.
 Captain Manning of the Nicosian and the British consul general here de- clined to make any comment whatever concerning the muleteers charges.

Clark Held Without Bond

Richard Clark, negro. was bound
 over to the grand jury without bond yesterday on charge of murder in the first degree. The prosecution of Clark was conducted by Assistant Solicitor James Davis. Clark, it appears was arrested sometime ago for the murder of Rebecca Goston, a negro woman. In the preliminary trial he was acquitted but n few days ago witnesses were found who testified to dying state- ment made by the negro woman to the effect that Richard Clark had killed her. The negro was then re- arre sted and the solicitors office inter- ested itself in the case to the extent that the negro Is now in the county Jail being held without bond for the grand jury.

vision made for keeping the prisoners busy. A man or woman locked up in al most any of them for three months-no ma tier for what reason--is practically certain to come out ruined for life There seems to be a small hope that so long as each county maintains ]ail there will be much improvement 10
 build a decent and sanitary jail, to Keep 1t in good condition, to provide suitable em ployment for the prisoners and to em- ploy trained and expert jaiier is prob ably beyond the financial resources of the average county.
 The most practical solution of the prob
 lem would seem to be to grve the cars or
 people who are to be locked up more than a few days into the hands or the state.
 The state might then be divided into dis
 tricts and a proper prison built in the largest city in each district. leaving the
 county iails to be used as overnight lockups.
 But that would, of course, raise howi
 from the country sheriffs, most of whom are paid from 40 to 60 cents day for th.. food-the word is used apologetically- of each prisoner.

WILSON APPROVES
 THE SUGAR DUTY

Washington, October 7.-President
 Wilson approves Secretary McAdoo' s
 decision to recommend that Congress
 retain the present duty on sugar until
 normal conditions are restored and
 that the war tax measure, which ex-
 pires automatically December 31. be extended until the end of the war. It was stated tonight that before Secretary McAdoo made his views
 known he discussed the subject with the President The President believes the war has had such an effect on in-
 dustrial conditions that both measures will be necessary to help build up revenues.
 Some political leaders think that by proposing that the provision of the last tariff law putting sugar on the free list May l, 1916. be repealed, the ad- ministration will vitably open up the entire tariff question. So far as can be learned however. such a step is not contemplated now by the ad- ministration.

ing are almost entirely filled up: in fact, the women's department Is com pletely so. It is one of the most beau tiful sections of the fair and contains many wonderful exhibits.
 Superintendent Matthews of the live stock department stated last night that in every section of his department he had more stock on hand than at the opening of any other fair.
 One of the treats of the fair Is the midway shows, where a big majority of the visitors made their way last night after the performance in front of the grandstand had been concluded. Many did not even wait for the free acts. but went directly to the pike" and patronized the different shows.
 Midway Shows Please
 Satisfaction was expressed by all who attended and the Con T. Kennedy shows, which have been preceded by an excellent reputation, fully came up to expectations and are beyond doubt the best attractions ever offered State Fair visitors. They are good, clean shows, not the catch penny kind, which are simply for the purpose of getting money and giving nothing in return. In all of the shows the performances last from 30 to 50 minutes, and it is interesting all of the time.
 Everything that could be asked in the amusement line Is found in the Kennedy attractions and the personal taste of the patrons finds satisfaction on the pike" There Is good dancing. excellent singing, art poses, illusions, curios, exciting auto and motorcycle races. wild west exhibitions, scenes and customs from the far eastern countries, in fact entertainment of ev- cry kind. MT. Kennedy has been in the show business for 15 years. during which time he learned the wants of the public, and this season he Is giv- ing them exactly what they have been asking for, catering to men. women and children.
 Among the attractions here with the Kennedy shows, are: The IIippodrome Garden of Allah. Russian theatre. Wild West show, Autodrome, Coney Island side show, Kempt's Model City, Samar (Siamese) Twins. Miracle, Turner's Won- ders, Ferris wheel. Carry -us-all, Wonder land, and plantat ton show that Is good The biggest boost received by the Ken nedy shows, is the fact that they fur nished all the midway attractions at the Kentucky State Fair, the Tennessee State

officials of Jefferson county relative to various matters in connection with his department He stated that au- tomobile owners of Jefferson county are laboring under the impression that automobile licenses will not become de- linquent on November l.
 Owing to the fact that the general license bill was not passed until shortly before the legislature ad- journed, no provision was made for the purchase of automobile licenses for next year." said Chairman Sims "The licenses have now been ordered how ever, and will be ready for delivery about December l. In the meantime, it would be we'll for all automobile e owners to deposit money with their probate judge for the cost of the new tags otherwise they will be delinquent after November l."

 Equal Suffragists Busy
 That the equal suffragists intend to attract the attention of all the fair vlsi- tors as in previous years was evident yesterday when the yellow and white booth in charge of Mrs. Richard D. John ston proved a delight to the eyes of other than enthusiasts for the cause. and in- teresting to a marked degree. The booth as in the past is under the patronage or the Alabama Equal Suffrage association.
 There are several novelties offered by the equal suffragsts this season at the fair. The color scheme IS per haps a trifle more elaborate than last fall. and is carried out strictly in the suffrage colors of yellow and white. The booth itself other than the decorations is filled with exquisite pieces of hand em- broidery and other delicate fancies of the feminine mind A feature is the serving of cakes and ices by the members of the local equal suffrage association
 Mrs. Johntson stated:
 We are not competing for any prize, but wish to show to the public that we can be, and are, home-makers, as well as fighters fo TOUT rights.

Its too bad the legislature muddled up things ast they did in reference to the prison lease business, now all the inter esting controversy will. be stopped' said very much interested person who saw only defeat in the action of the 1915 leg islature
 And why do you think that" was the answer. Cant you see now Is the time to start a campaign of education, and. if you please, sentiment, with four perfectly good, untouched years ahead to make people wake up in. and in the meanwhile good measures will be adopted and bet l ter conditions considered. and in this
 way we will build up some help for the
 unfortunate prisoner.
 l The Chicago Daily Tribune is conduct | ing just such a campaign of education, | under the able direction of Mir Henry M Hyde. Every article contains these pertinent words, that should be inde!ibly
 impressed upon the hearts and minds of every citizen of these United States. The greatest crime in the United States | is the wholesale manufacture of crim- | nals''
 | We quote the Tribune in speaking of l MT. Hyde:
 MT Hyde has visited penal and re- I formatory institutions in various parts l of the country. He has spent hours in | city lockups and county jails. He has
 attended many sessions of police and
 criminal courts in large and small cities
 and has interviewed leading police off | cials, criminal lawyers, jurists, parole
 and probation officers. He has talked with many petty offenders and hardened criminals. He has also discussed the a1-
 ministration of criminal law in the United | States with men who nave made the
 study of it their life work. ! "The present situation exists chiefly
 because the people do not know that il
 exists. Publicity should bring an early
 remedy"
