HODGES REPLIES To
THE LAFAYETTE JURY
SHE'LL FISH STEAMER ROAMER
NOT ARMED WITH MACHINE
GUNS OR CANNONs.
Editor Pensacola Journal.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
The grand jury of Lafayette coun-
ty has taken upon itself to resolve
that the state patrol boat Roamer
should be disarmed of the machine
guns or cannons and other deadly
weapons as they are not needed for
the collection of taxes and are an
insult to the people.
In the first place, the Roamer is
not armed with machine guns or can
mons but with two one-pound rifles.
These guns are no more an insult to
the people Of Florida than a forty
four revolver. The other "deadly
weapons" are my personal property
and do not differ from those carried
by sheriffs and deputy sheriffs OF
any county in the state.
Man after man has quit the service
on the Roamer, saying they would
not work on her for million dol
lars. Just a case of "cold feet"
Why? Simply because so many ugly
threats were made in their presence
to do violence to the crew and the
boat.
You might ask why these threats
were made. Simply because these
particular persons did not want the
fish laws enforced.
The Roamer is being used for a
work far more important than col
lecting taxes. The East and West
coasts are being patrolled and the fish
laws are being enforced and at the
same time taxes are being collected
but no armed force has ever been
necessary.
The grand jury further condemns
the approval of the law by the gov
ernor, authorizing the purchase OF
the steamer Roamer. Let me cal
their attention to the fact that the
appropriation for the purchase of this
boat was not embodied in the salt.
water fish law but was included in
the general appropriation bill, which
fact seems to have escaped lie notice
of the jury. Therefore, Governor
Trammell is in no way responsible fol
the purchase of the boat.
The vast bays along the Florida
coast, which contain practically M
fish now, are mute witnesses to the
sad fact that the states fishing in
dustry is badly depleted. Only rigit
enforcement of the laws will ever re
store this important industry to The
people of Florida.
Ask any old resident of the coas
what the fishing was twenty years
ago and what it is today. His repl,
will be from a feast to a famine. Null
let roe sold then at twenty cents ;
dozen and they are now worth sew
enty-five. Draw your own conclusions
Lafayette county certainly has NJ
! complaint to make for it is well
known fact that her fishing territor!
has been invaded In years past by un
scrupulous fishermen from far ant
near, who have Quilted the full-roet
mullet during the closed season, threw
the fish overheard and saved the roe
thereby depriving her own citizens O
their birth-right. This has beer
stopped by enforcement of the pres
emit fish laws.

GROWN PRINCE HAMMER|NG' AT
 FRENCH LINES
Is Making Another Deter mined Effort to Break Through French Lines in Argonnc and Captures Prisoners and Trenches.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

LONDON. Sept 9.-The German crown prince is making another de- termined attempt to break through the French lines in the Argonne. and according to a Berlin official statement, has succeeded in taking trenches over a front of a mile and a quarter to a depth of from 300 to SOC meters. capturing two thousand prisoners. forty eight machine guns and sixty-four mine throwers. The French, both in their midnight re- port and again in the afternoon ad- init the Germans have gained partial success, but declare in most in stances they have been thrown back with heavy losses.
 Along the eastern front things are moving more slowly again after the Russian offensive in the southeast in which they claimed a substantial victory had helped to liven up matters.
 This is the second effort of the German emperor's heir to win a vic tory in the Argonne region within the last three months. and although on each occasion he gained a small amount of ground, he is apparently as far from the objective at this time as on previous occasions.
 Fighting was in progress all of yesterday, throughout the night, and was still going on when the last re- port was issued. This is doubtless the German reply to the artillery which allies have kept up for fifteen days but which now seems to be dying down without any attacks following as had been anticipated. Instead. except for heavy gun action in Arras, bomb throwing seems to have taken place.
 In the east from the Gulf of Riga to Olita, south of Kovno, the Ger mans state the situation is un- changed. while their center from that point to and beyond the Pripet marshes continues to advance.
 Thence to the Rumanian frontier the Russians are still the aggressors and they are endeavoring to prevent the invasion of Bessarabia. On the whole the Russians appear with fresh supplies and ammunition to be making a better stand. They are

 BERLIN. Sept. 9.-The chief of the admiralty staff issued the following report today:

There we're heavy explosions and numerouf fires were observed. Our airships We're heavily fired at by the hostile batteries but all returned safely"
 
 In the latest raid over England. the Germans apparently succeeded at last in striking at the heart of London The inference may be drawn plainIy from various cable dispatches which passed the censor that the German aeronauts dropped bombs on the old city of London proper in the region that contains hotels and business dis trict landmarks. famous the world over.

 The Germans. in their Zeppelin at tacks have aimed repeatedly at Lon don They succeeded previously in dropping bombs within the Metro politan district. but so far as known no earlier attempt produced the ef- fects of Wednesday nights raid. In this connection it is significant that the British press bureau. in an nouncing the result of the attack confined itself to an account of the .Hse | property damaged. as was done in earlier announcements of this kind.
 The German war office is almost as reticent in saving in the official statement that bombs were dropped ou the docks and other port estab- llshments of London and vicinity and that the effect was very -satisfac- tory Whether or not extensive damage was done to property in the center of the city. it is apparent that Lon don is deeply stirred by the attack. IL may be inferred that the bonn bardment was of So serious a nature as to arouse fears on the part of Americans in London that friends in this country may be alarmed for their safety.

PROPOSED TAX ONTRANSACT|ONS
 BY MAIL ORDER
Representative of National Association of Business Men in City to Ascertain Sentiment of Merchants as to Hinebaugh Bill.

That the mail order houses should pay for the privilege of doing busi- ness in the communities from which they derive revenues is the opinion of the National Association of Busi- nessmen, which has instituted a campaign throughout the country in favor of the Hinebaugh bill. now pending in congress. The headquar- ters of this association are in Mil waukee. where the Merchants Trade Journal. the organ of the association, is published Washington head quarters in charge of J. C. Atchison is about to be established.
 C. G. Gustafson Q representative of the association, arrived in the city yesterday to ascertain the sen timent here with respect to the Hinebaugh bill and he secured the signatures of nearly all the business men whom he met to a petition to Hon. Carl Hayden, requesting his support of the measure. MT. Gus tafson will visit Tempe today. He will return to Phoenix before his Geparture from the valley.
 The taxing bill was Introduced in at the last session by Rep- W. H. Hinebaugh, of H. linois It proposes ito provide tax on all persons, firms or cn poratio:.3 engaged in interstate mail order business originated. The bill pro vidcs that houses doing mail order business shall keep an accurate rec ord of all sales during the year by counties in the various states and that the tax of one per cent shall be assessed by the federal govern ment against such houses, the money raised to be returned to the states where the business originated.
 In the absence of such record as the bill provides shall be kept the volume of business done by the mail order houses can only be guessed at.
 It is. estimated in Colorado that forty per cent of the cash business in that state is done by mail order houses. The same figures are used in the New Mexico estimate and the National Association of Businessmen believe that taking the country over, the mail order houses transact twenty per cent of the cash business.

Note Says Submarine Com mander Attacked Arabic Only After Liner Had Headed in Direction of Underwater Craft.
DOESN'T MATTER IF
 HE WAS MISTAKEN
No Obligation to Grant h. demnity, Even If Com mander of Submarine Should Have Been Mis- taken as to Intentions.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHI

BERLIN, Sept. e.-In it's note to the United States on the sinking of the Arabic the German government says it most deeply regrets that lives were lost through the action of the commander; and it particularly ex- presses regret to the government of the United States on account of deaths of American citizens" The note adds:
 "T'1e German government is un- able, however, to acknowledge any obligation to grant indemnity in the matter, even if the comma nder should have been mistaken as to the aggressive intentions of the Arabic"
 The note says the submarine com mander attacked the Arabic only after the liner headed toward him and in conclusion says:
 "lf it should prove impossible for the German and American govern rents to reach a harmonious opinion, the German government is prepared to submit the difference as being question of international law, to The Hague tribunal for arbitration"
 "lt assumes that as matter of course an arbitral decision can not be admitted to have the importance of general decision on the permissibiIity or the converse, under international law, of the German submarine war fare"
 The full text of the note follows;
 "On August 19 a German subma- rine stopped the English steamer Dunsley about sixteen nautical miles south of Kinsale and was on the point of sinking the prize by gunfire after the crew had left the vessel. At this moment the commander saw a large steamer making directly to- ward him. This steamer as it devel oped later was the Arabic. She was recognized as an enemy vessel. as 1t did not fly any flag and bore no neutral markings. When she ap- preached she altered her course, but then again pointed directly toward the submarine. From this the com mander became convinced the steam CT had the intention of attacking and Tamming him. and in order to an ticipate the attack he gave orders for the submarine to dive, and fired . torpedo at the steamer.
 After firing he convinced himself the people on board were being res cued in fifteen boats. According to instructions the commander was not allowed to attack the Arabic with out warning and without saving the lives of those on board unless the ship attempted to escape or offered resistance. Hes was forced however, to conclude from the attendant cir cumstances that the Arabic planned I violent attack on the submarine This conclusion was all the more obvious he was fired upon at a great distance on the Irish sea on August 14-that is. a few days be- fore-by a large passenger steamer belonging to the British Royal Packet company, which he had neither attacked nor stopped
