ING REPORTED FEW DAYS

Ell PASO, Tex, Nov. 16.-Details
OF the murder of Joseph w. Tays near
San Bias, Sinaloa, Mex, are contained
in a letter received by ]. w. Tays of
TINS city. from his brother, e. II.
rays, father of the murdered man.
According to the letter dated Sep
tember 20 Tays set out for Los Mo
CHS, twenty-five miles away, on Sep
tember D, in company with four COM
panions and three Indian teamsters.
They were met by 500 Indians of the
Villa faction and made prisoners. De
spite his protest of American citizen
ship they were forced to march naked
and afoot five miles across the desert
to the camp of Bachomo, Indian ban
dit chiefan.
Tays and his companions begged
Tor water and their entreaties only
bruoght forth thrusts of revolvers in
their sides All the while the Indians
dangled full canteens before their
famished captives. On arriving at the
camp Of he Indian leader, the Amer
lean and his companions were robbed
of $500 Then they were lined up
and shot. The Indian teamsters fled
but one was killed in trying to make
his escape.
The father. accompanied by seven
armed Americans, visited the scene
next day, but was unable to recover
the body of his son. Two days later
Bachomo sent word to Tays that he
would kill him, too, if he persisted in
searching for his sons body.
Tays wrote his father that he had
notified Carranza authorities through
the American consul at Mazatlan. but
so far the bandits had escaped pun
ishment.

ALL Of DETAILS
BEING AWAITED
STATEMENTS OF ANCONA SINK.
ING FROM TWO COUNTRIES
WIDELY DIFFER.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. The
American government will await the
receipt of the Austrian governments
statement of facts concerning the
sinking of the Italian liner Ancona
before considering whether any rights
of Americans have been violated
Thees facts probably will be sought
through Ambassador Penfield at
Vienna
The state department now has be-
fore it the Italian governments com
munication addressed to neutral ma
tions denouncing the sinking of the
Ancona as 'an unparalleled atrocity,''
and officials have also seen the public
statement of the Austro- Hungarian
admiralty describing the attack.
The two statements differ. Italy's
communication charges that with
out even blank shot" of wa. ming
from the attacking submarine the
Ancona was shelled, and that the
killing and wounding of passengers
continued after the vessel stopped.
The admiralty statement, on the
other hand, declares that the Ancona
attempted to escape and only after
repeated shelling was brought to a
stop. 1t also claims that the pas
sengers and crew were given 45 min
utes to escape in small boats and
denies the charge that the subma-
rine fired on the boats.
Diplomatic exchanges between the
American and Austrian governr1 nts
probably will follow over the entire
question of submarine warfare and
the obligationsn of submarine com
mander to see that the neutrals are
safe before destroying a prize.

many business men were busy with

reason were away from their places
of business when the committee Wis.

The board is anxious to sell as
many of these tickets as possible, as
this is the only means by which the

PETITION OF EXPRESS
COMPANY is DENIED

The petition recently filed by the
Southern Express company, with the
state railroad commission, asking per-
mission for a graduated increase in
its rates on intrastate packages in
Georgia has been declined, according
to announcement made by the state
railroad commission.
The action of the railroad commits
sion in this connection does not make
final disposition of the case, however,
but simply maintains the present
rates until June 80, 1916, at which
time the express company, ii it so de-
sires, may reopen the case upon the
basis of business conditions at that
time.
The petition of the express COM
pany asked for net increase in
rates, which would have amounted to
approximately $4,000 year of its
purely intra-Georgia traffic, or an in
crease of about 418 per cent.
The commission granted some time
ago a petition establishing the pres
ent rates and allowing an increase of
some $4,000 year over the previous
rates

COLD SPELL BIG
BUSINESS BOOST.
MERCHANTS ALREADY FEEL GEM
ERAL INCREASE AS RESULT
OF COLD SNAP.

Although Brunswick has nad but
one day of cold weather, since the
little cold spell a month ago, mer-
chants generally reported yesterday
that they had noticed an increase in
business and if the chilly weather
continues, they expect to see a much
larger increase during the next few
days.
at just seems that the people do
not feel like coming out and doing
their shopping when the weather is
unreasonable" said one of the city's
leading business men to a News re-
porter yesterday. Just as soon as
there is little drop in the mercury
business picks up, and this has been
one Of the best business days we
have had during the fall, although
winter clothes should have been pur-
chased long ago. Many people, es-
pecially the men folk, do not purchase
heavy clothing until they are forced
to, and for that reason business has
not been as good this fall as we had
expected, but it is coming, and three
or four more chilly days like this will
make the fall business all that was
anticipated. The women folk buy
early, more for style than for pleas
ure, and for that reason most of them
have already purchased their new fall
suits, their winter hat, etc, but the
men, most of them anyway, are gen
orally forced to do their purchasing"
