Is Official and Pubic Indigna-
ton in City Of Rome over
the Sinking of Ships.

ROME, Nov 10 ; 30 p. m.-
delayed A leng thy conference be-
tween Foreign Minister Sonpipo and
Thomas Nelson Page, the American
ambassador. is believed to have
brought about a full exchange of
views concerning the Ancona. The
nature Of the Conversation has not
been revealed. but there is reason to
believe that the italian viewpoint
was fully, presented rejecting .
strong feeling that the sinking OF
the liner was such q fragrant breach
OF international law that neutral gov
ernments should adopt an energetic
course. to- secure complete fepafa-
tion.
Ambassador Page was advised OF
the sinking OF the sEirenxe today. even
before the official annonncement was
snadc public. This additional Incl
dent, following closely that Of the
Ancona. has increased official and
public indignation to. an intense de
gree.

SHOT b WIFE
Wounded in Arm and Leg, Ac-
cording to Reports on
the Streets.

John w. Stony" Duffy. owner Of
the Imperial hotel ON West Mair
street. was shot, probably seriously
by his wife in their, apartments In
the hotel about s o'clock Saturda,
night. It is not known whether the
shooting was accidental.
Immediately. following the. shoot
ing, all sorts OF rumors were current
on the streets, but the most reliable
Information was that he was shot la
an arm and a leg. The police depart
ment had no information of the
shooting. other than the reports ttia,
were heard on the streets. 4
AT the hotel silence was maintained
by all employees. The night clerk,
who is styled ..P. perhaps for
want OF something better, didn,,
know anything. He knew that there
was a hotel there and that 1t wa.
owned by John W. sDuiIy, and that
was about all. -
According to the reports on the
streets, 1t was this same Up. j. z, who
rushed into The room at the sound
OF the firing and wrested the pistol
from Mrs. Duify's hands. He denied
to representative Of the Telegram
that he had seen the shooting.
9oull have to, get your informa-
ton from somebody else. don't
know anything about IT," he said.
You do know that Mr.. Duffy was
shot, don't you?" he was asked.
] didn't see IT, he replied. ~
don't know anything"
The latter statement, is very near
approach to the truth.
The reports were first heard on the
street shortly after 8 o'clock and three
hours later 1t was a, matter OF fcommon
knowledge among those who were on
the streets at the time that "Stoney
Duffy had been shot by his wife"
What is regarded as the most re-
liable information. came from a negro
who is said to work around the hotel
at times. He said that Mrs. Duffy had
shot her husband twice, one bullet en-
tering an arm, and the other a leg.
Some reports were that only one
shot had been fired and, that It had
lodged in Duffy's shoulder.
"P. j." and other employees Of the
hotel appeared to have been in deadly
fear that II they opened their mouths
regarding the affair, a fleet of German
submarines would suddenly appear in
Traders alley and begin Smelling the
building.

particular goal has been set as re-
tgards the desired or probable num-
der Of candidates to be initiated In
this series. but We have reason to be-
| liere that the total Number Of new
members initiated will not fall short
OF 500 In the five classes. As q. mat
ter OF fact, judging the domain by
It's long period OF activity, its contin-
usd increase during past years, and
the shoftness OF time to arrange for
these classes, 1t would be .emincntly
gratifying and complimentary to tho
lodges IL they succeeded in securing
a total OF 800 new members BY this
movement.
The new grand lodge officers, un-
der date of October Is, sent out a
comprehensive circular presenting
1 she subject of the "Rathbone Bible
Glass Meetings" naming each place
where classes would be held. urging
all lodges to cooperate In the great
movement OF membership increase.
and inviting neighboring lodges to
bring all their candidates to the CEN
trial class conventions. In addition,
to this formal circular presenting
the matter Officially, further adyertis-
ing has been done. by circulars, spe-
letaI letters press notices and official
yisitattons. Committees in the yari-
Ioas cities are likewise busy, and have
prepared and distributed their ewn
literature, thus! covering every lodge
IN the domain. Special instructions
have been given ito lodges to "cre-
Dental" all candidates, by listina
their names. on. the ofieialSstattonery
and under the seal of each lodge, also
suggesting that committees from eaci,
lodge escort their own candidates to
! the place Of initiation.

Supreme Representative Beans arc
both deyoting their time to this
movement, and will continue to do
SO until the day and date of the class
limitations. All the official force in
the domain will make a hard drive
during the early part of November,
and 1t may be set down as fact
that thoy, and all the lodges and
members cooperating. will make IN
assured success OF the undertaking.

A BRIDE OF LESS THAN TWELVE
WEEKS STRICKEN BY THE
GRIM MONSTER.
Mrs. Mary e. RagIand, Married Tues.
day September 10th, at Memorial
Baptist Church, Has her Funeral in
the same place Sunday, December
goth.

One of the saddest occurrences thai
mas happened IN our midst was the
death of Mrs. Mary e. Ragland in less
than twelve weeks after marriage
Never before has such a thing been
known of here.
1t will be remembered that the first
grand wedding solemnized in Memorial
Baptist Church was that of Mr.. Archie
K. Ragland and Miss Mary E. Fletcher,
on the evening of Tuesday, September
29th. 1t was a grand affair and the
many friends of the bride, who was a.
general favorite in this community,
were happy over the thought that she
had secured loving husband and her
future looked bright and rosy. But
the uncertainty of life has seldom
been more painfully impressed upon
us; for in less than three months she
lay cold in death before the same
sacred altar where she had so proudly
pllghted her troth to the man of her
choice. verify, in the, midst of life
we are in DEATH"
The wedding was a notable one, and
no less so was the funeral of the Young
bride. 1t was the first automobile
funeral among us, and was quite i'm
pressive in every way.
The deceased belonged to the D. Y.
W. 7. K. club the members of which
were quite prominent at her wedding
and they acted as honorary pallbearers
at her funeral, and they made an i'm
presslve appearance as they entered
the church each clad in white and
bearing a floral emblem.
