London, Feb. 1S.-At the stroke of
midnight the waters surrounding the
coasts of the United Kingdom become,
80 far as lies within the power OF Ger
many to make them, a war zone which
all vessels neutral or otherwise will
penetrate at their peril.
Some of the services across the
channel probably will be curtailed, but
a majority of the neutral shipping lines
will accept the risk and continue their
salings The names and nationality
OF vessels and the flags of their ma
tionality will be painted on their sides
in the hope that German submarines
will not sink them by mistake.
Englands announcement of the de-
tails of her proposed retaliatory pol.
icy, by which she plans to shut off
the German food supply from the out
side, is expected momentarily, and ap-
parently there is not the slightest
prospect that this country will accept
the German proposal to call off the
blockade if England will relax naval
pressure on shipping.
II is not expected that there will be
any widespread activity by the Ger
man submarines, but the developments
Regarding neutral ships should bring
to head one of the most interesting
and threatening situations of the war.

Wasn't Innocent.

when Senator William ]. Stone
was governor of Missouri from 1898
to 1897 he received many petitions
from prisoners in the penitentiary
and their friends either for COM
mutation of sentence or pardon
said Oscar Sandford of st. Louis,
according to the Washington Post.
THE then governor nearly every
day would find on his desk a big
stack of letters from the inmates Of
the penitentiary, and the burden of
the complaint always was that the
prisoner was innocent and ought to
be turned loose. Gov. Stone was
about ready to believe that the Mis-
souri, penitentiary was filled with in
nocents when he went one day to
make tour of inspection.
He found many of the prisoners
who had petitioned for release and
they repeated in person what they
had written or asked their friends
to write. After a while the gov
ernor found a strapping fellow who
made a strong impression.
What's Your Nance asked the
governor.
The man told his name and Gov
ernor Stone followed it up by in
Quiring:
What are you in here for?'
For stealing a horse was the
answer.
But did YOU steal the horse?'
said the governor, somewhat timid-
ly.
81 certainly did, returned the
prisoner.
Then YOU were convicted justly
for your crime and deserve your
punishment remarked the governor.
"'There's no doubt about that,
replied the convict.
Well, l am going to pardon you.
said the governor. You have no
business in prison with so many in
nocent men,

CALLS FOR SIX-MILL LEVY.
Contains Special Provision of $1,000
for Legal Services for Governor.

Columbia. Feb. 10.-The general
appropriation bill was reported to
the house tonight 1t shows careful
work on the part of the ways and
means committee, and will probably
meet no considerable opposition in
the house. The bill carries the levy
of six mills, the same as last year.
The levy in 1914 was six mills in
stead of 81 mills. Under the bill
reported tonight the levy is divided;
five mills for ordinary purposes. and
one mill for pensions, which are in
creased to 100000, an increase OF
$50, 900. The one-mill levy will raise
s3O7,OOO, and there is provision
that any overplus from the pension
levy shall be used for the current
expenses of the State.
Totals Compared.
The bill this year shows total of
s2,212,O65.5O, as against total in
1914 of s2.146,253.04. The bill re-
ported tonight shows an increase of
$65,S12.46 over last years total
There is no provision for the s11O,-
900 borrowed for and by the extra
ordinary session of the legislature.
that being covered by notes and will
be absorbed by the increased revenue
due to the s1O,OO0,0O0 increase in
assessed values of property.
The increase of $4,000 is shown
in slight necessary increases in the
appropriations for the asylum, the
medical college, Winthrop college
and the university. For the State
fair $4,000 is provided.
Larger Items.
Among the larger items in the bill
as reported are: Confederate pen
sions, 100000: tick eradication,
$4,000; agricultural extension work,
S15,691; Winthrop college, $780,
249.32; University of South Caro-
lima, S103,251.44; Medical college Of
South Carolina, $4,000; State ware
house system, s17,337.63; hospital
for the insane, s3O9,700; Deaf, Dumb
Institute, $4,000; the Citadel, $780,
900.
, The purpose is to provide in the
appropriation bill for maintenance
only at the asylum. A separate bill
is to be presented, providing for a
half-mill special levy for five years,
and with this fund of S750,00O, to
be raised at the rate Of S150,000 an
nually, it is proposed to improve the
asylum property, bring it up to date
and add the improvements recon-
and urged for years.
For Governors Legal Advice.
There is a special provision for
$4,000 for legal services for the gov
ernor's Office.
The $4,000 provided for the cot
ton warehouse system is the reap
of $4,000 unexpended
balance and $4,000 for the purchase
of corrugated iron with which to
erect warehouses, and which is to be
refunded to the State. The idea is
that the warehouse system should
buy the iron in large lots and sell it
at cost.
The estimate filed with the comp
troller general would have necessi-
tated a seven-mill levy, but the COM
mittee pruned the requests and made
no provision to pay the obligations
involved in the recent holding of the
session of the legisla-
ture.

PULLMAN MAN HAS
NEW INVENTION
r.. +. Emmlck VIII Patent Altar.
ment TO DO Away With Flicker
In Motion Pictures

L. f. Emmick has for some time
been working on a new shutter de-
wise which may be attached to the
ordinary moving picture protector
in place of the usual light interrupt
er or shutter now used on all Or
binary intermittent projecting ma
chimes. This new devise will entirely
do away with the flicker or pulsat-
ing effect so noticeable in many
machines now is use.
The principle involved in the new
apparatus is that the light is allowed
to strike the screen in a continuous
beam. Only the images of the pro-
jected picture are dissolved out by
means of a series of translucent
blades or shutters. A novel feature
of this new devise is that an old
idea, the base of the old Kineama.
color, Is used to tint or color the pic
lures. By series of color blades
arranged in the order of the color
spectrum any color may be given to
the film by withdrawing or inserting
certain colors.
Those who have seen tests of this
new machine are very much pleased
with the effect and when the ma
chine was run at even half speed
there was an entire absence of flick
er which is so noticeable in the usu-
al picture show. The picture has
more than double the brilliancy Of
the ordinary projected picture and
detail and stereoscopic effects are
brought out in a way that Is reye-
lation to all who have seen the ordi-
nary black and white pictures pro-
jected.
Mr.. Emmick has applied for basic
patents to cover all of the principle
features of this new attachment for
the projecting machine and expects
to cover some new special features
with patents in the near future.
