Police court receipts for May,
which were only $401 and which
caused Mayor Fawcett to seek
Judge Evans resignation, were
more than trebled In June, ac-
cording to the report of Clerk
Hackett, published today.
In June the police court re-
ceipts were $1,2S4.55. Police
Judge Evans declared today, how
ever, that Mayor Fawcett's criti-
cism had not affected his decis-
ions in police court, and that the
increase in receipts was merely
caused by an unusually large
number of cases brought before
him.
Auto and motorcycle spceders
furnished most of the June rev.
enue.

TONS OF Big
OCEAN CRAFT

LONDON, July 2.-Ger-
man submarine Officers are
being tipped off to the de-
parture of vessels from
American ports.
Definite reports to this
effect have been received by
the admiralty concident with
the renewals of the large ma-
rine attacks.
The reports of the sinking
OF three large steamers, ~
schooner and n bark was re-
ceived today by the admiralty
In rapid succession.
The nights work repre-
scented the largest haul since
the sinking of the Lusitania.
The vessels represented a
tonnage of more than TO-
600 tons.
The steamer Welsbury
was shelled off CasteltOn. All
the crew was rescued.
She was warned that she would
be sunk soon after sailing from
cuba. The crew found painted In
large letters in the forehold the
incription:
"YOU HAVE A CARGO OF
FOR ENGLAND. YOV
WILL NEVER GET THERE"
This was first taken as a Joke
but In view of the fact that a
submarine sent the Welsbury 10
the bottom, the admiralty has
since displayed greatest interest
in the warning.
Fears are admittedly felt for
the liner Adriatic. which sailed
from New York Wednesday. 1t Is
recalled that similar rumors OF
the vessel being marked for a
submarine attack were circulated
when the Lusitania was on he.
last voyage.

Neal Weber, operator Of the
elevator in the National Realty
building at the time Charles l..
Andrews met his death Wednes-
day night, testified positively at
coroner's inquest today that the
mechanism of the car was out of
order, and that this resulted, in
directly, in Andrews death.
He said that at the 18th floor,
just as Andrews stepped out. of
the half-opened elevator door,
the car gave sudden upward
lurch, which threw the victim on
his head on the floor, from which
he rolled into the shaft.
Then he fell IL stories to his
death.
Not only did the elevator
"kick" at this particular time,
said Weber, but only a day or so
previous 1t had acted similarly
and he had given a warning to
the trouble man."
Chief Engineer Jarvis, who has
supervisory charge of the whole
building, started to rebut Weber's
testimony.
However, the admission was
forced from him by Deputy Prose
cutor Thompson that If the car
we're out of order, hanging cleo
trio wire or some other fault
might cause such an action.
Part of the blame for the acct
dent was put by Weber on An
drews himself. He said the lat
ter leaned against the door all
the way up, and rushed it, to
get out.
Mrs. Constance Mcclure, day
operator, said she never had hat
such trouble with the car as
Weber described.

Dragged to Death by Mules

George Nowlin, a young man
about IS years of age who lives
at Lone Tree, Mo-, was dragged
to death Monday morning a short
distance south of Archie by six
mules which he-and- another
young man were bringing to But
Ter. to. deliver to ChaS. Argen-
bright; who had purchased them.
Young Nowlin was riding a horse
and leading the mules. His hands
being cold he tied the rope in d
slip knot and put it around his
body and began beating his hands
to warm them. This frightened
the mules and they pulled him
from the saddle and ran over a
mile with the body of the young
man dangling at their heels.
When the mules We're finally
topped it was founnd that young
Nowlin was dead. His body was
kicked and trampled by the mules
until it bore slight resemblance
to a human form, and the rope
around the waist had almost cut
the body in two.
