Our big singing which the Chapel

their expectations on account of the
inclemency of the weather. The Oak

to meet the Chapel choir at the Chapel

rain and bad conditions of the roads
prevented the singers of the visiting

when we can have some assurance of
better weather that the different

der an armed guard, and made to

ascertained, Campassi is the only four
miller who has done as much as one
full days work for the county. -
Commercial Appeal, June 8, 1914.

ring have yet failed to explain why
Clement Campassi was shackled and
the rest of the four milers who did not
squeal on the Crump-C anale whisky

Campassi, says Attorney Estes, fled
an affidavit that enabled him to get
injunctions against the wholesale IL
quor dealers ard breweries. On the
other hand, a dispatch from Memphis
to the Chattanooga Times makes the
following allegations.
Attorney General Estes activities
against saloonists in general have been
branded as sporadic and spasmodic. -
Aside from closing three of the bars
in three of the most prominent hotels,
the fruits Of his campaign, under the
nuisance act, have been productive Of
mighty small crop.
'The attorney general and assist
ants have been charged with some
surprising indiscretions and the fact
that no attempt to deny them has been
made has added strength to the claim
of a prominent coterie of business
men, property owners and citizens in
general that the so called nuisance act
has reacted as a boomerang and has
itself proven nuisance of the worst
kind.
"Liquols, wines and beer, by the
bottle, barrel and case have been con-
fiscated and destroyed; destroyed, it
has been publicly charged. by con-
sumption, the consumers, it has been
proven, being none other than the
raiding officers. 1t has been openly
charged and not denied that "bottled
in bond'' has been tapped in the offic-
ial sanctum at the courthouse Of the
prosecuting attorney,
Recently prohibitionists who have
been sincere in their efforts to clean
up the city and country took on re-
newed life for better results when the
attorney general personally retired
from the limelight and assigned As
sistant Harrison to the task of enforc-
ing the nuisance act, but again there
was gloom in the camp of the prohis.
About the first thing to happen to the
trusted assistant, following series Of
spectacular raids on deserted blind I'll
gers, was to find himself behind the
bars in cell at Central police station
under arrest and held for fear he
might do harm to himself or others
while under the alleged influence Of
liquor and armed with rapid fire pis-
toll Of modern make"
When a case Of this kind is such
subject of contention, it should be
thoroughly aired in the Legislature,
where there are undoubtedly mon of
enough nerve to call for the evidence.
We hope to see such move started
and let the citizens Of the state see
which side is supporting the law.

MINNEHAHA BOMB
THEORY DOUBTED
Some of Ships Crew Now Be-
lieve Fire Was Caused by
Spontaneous Combustion.

Halifax, n. s., July 1O.-To-day, for
the first time, the theory of spon-
taneous combustion was advanced by
some of those on board the Atlantic
Transport liner Minnehaha when the
explosion and fire occurred last
Wednesday. Yesterday all of the Off
GERS and crew who talked said a bomb
had been secreted in the cargo. No
explanation other than these two has
been offered. Captain Frank II. Claret
has remained silent
Those who now suggest a natural
cause will not be quoted, but maintain
that spontaneous combustion in No. 3
hold. near quantity of whiSkey, might
have caused the shock The presence
of the whiskey in the cargo accounted
for the alcoholic fumes described by
the crew. Two of the two hundred
horses were sufocated.
Upon permission of the authorities
at Ottawa the Minnehaha moved up
to the inner harbor to-day and
anchored opposite the railway term
inals, where lightering OF the cargo
from under the Vpper matches Of hold
No was begun. Dense volumes OF
smoke soon were pouring from the
opened matches and fire hose was
again brought into play. For time
the smoke increased and more hre
hose was hurriedly brought from
shore. Later the smoke disappeared
and the removal Of the cargo con
tinued.

These Suo-surface politicians, the
resolution continued, were seeking 10

cause of their valuable services and

When II was put 10 a vote the resolu-

one faint voice was heard in opposition.
Commissioner Brensinger is director
of revenue and finance. Complaints
were made that he had issued short
term bonds to the amount Of l,500,0 900
for current expenses. Commissioner
Hague is director Of public safety. His
foes declared he had demoralized the
Jersey City police with politics.
Everybody was busy last night de-

In response to invitations for a mass
meeting to crystallize the sentiment
for the recall of Commissioners George
f. Brensinger and Frank Hague, some
two hundred persons assembled last
night in Association Hall, Jersey City.
They didn't come surging in with in
dignation written on their features.
They Just trickled in, wearing looks Of
wonder.
From 1880 until $3.50 people drifted
into the hall and smoked and discussed
the German note. Then Patrick Curley,
of the llth Ward, member of the Jer
sey City Republican Club, got up and
asked what it was all about. Nobody
answered.
"Who called this meeting?" inquired
Mr.. Curley.
Still there was no answer, and Mr..
Curley suggested that they organize
and find something to do. James j.
Mahan, member of the Jersey City
Republican Association, was chosen as
chairman and James Murphy, recording
secretary of the Jersey City Republican
Association, as secretary OF the meet
ing.
Having consulted the postal card
summons they had received, several
opined that there ought to be somebody
around 10 knock Commissioners Bren-
singer and Hague. Nobody said a word.

Paris. July TO- Since the Bank OF
France opened special counters in
Paris to receive the peoples boarded
gold few days ago the yellow coins
have continued to flow in an uninter,,
rupted stream. Depostors exchanged
gold for bank notes in the first four
days in Paris to the extent OF $3,OOO'-
600. No reports from the provinces
have been made out.
Capitalists went TO the bank In auto
mobiles, taking little Tags of gold TO
strengthen the credit of France and
help in the national defence. In the
early morning hours working men and
small employers hurried in on the way
to their labor to hand in their jealousy

GREAT WAR LOAN
GETS S5,OOO,OOO,OOO
Flood of Subscriptions to Brit
ish Fund Surpasses All
Previous Records.
tBy Cable to The Trbunel

London, July 1O.-The Tribune has
the highest authority for stating that
the war loan subscriptions up to b
o'clock this afternoon amounted TO
SLIGHTLY more than $4,000, 100000, not
taking account of the heavy bank SUD-
scriptions which were still pouring IN.
The conversion Of consols and the old
war loan is expected to bring the ag-
gregate up to the full amount asked.
Therefore. between s4,500,000,O0O and
$4,000. 100000 will have been lent to
the government in three weeks. The
actual amount subscribed is expected
to be officially announced in the House
of Commons next Tuesday.
Enormous sums were turned over to
the subscription, investors and bankers
doubling their purchases made Of the
last loan, and it is confidently pre-
dicted that the deficit in the budget
will be entirely met.
The recent setback to American rail-
roads is attributable to the heavy
pressure of the transfer of funds to
the war loan. The continued low
American exchange and the absence
of American subscription 20 the war
loan, due to the income tax, has sensi-
bly, hardened the discount market this
week, rates rising to 412 per cent for
three months bills and per cent for
six months. Though American ex-
change is now at a figure permitting
gold shipments, it has been suggested
that New York take payment in treas
ury bills or short dated British gov
ernment securities.
Gold taken in by the Bank of Eng
land totals G53, ,264, 900, with the pro-
portion of reserve TO liabilities recov-
ering to 1853 per cent.
"The Statist" says: 1--WE anticipate
that the economy of the country, now
that economy is necessary, will be so
great that not only will the budget
deficiency be provided for, hut a
large sum will be collected in advance
against any deficiency next year should
the war continue.
"None can doubt the power Of the
British people to provide fl000,000,-
600 yearly for war if they desire to
do so. The Unprecedented success Of
this, the greatest loan that has ever
been placed, is demonstration to
the world that the British people are
in earnest in carrying on the war"

their guns the clergyman dashed to his
church near by and gathered up lot
