Minnehaha Docks at Halifax
After $40 Mile Run to Save
$4,000, 900 Cargo Of NUM-
tiOns.
FLAMES ARE CHECKED
Naval Authorities Take Full
Charge of Craft and Begin
Searching Probe of Origin
of Blaze.

HALIFAX, July 9. Creeping
through a heavy fog that made navi-
cation difficult, the British liner Min
nekaha came into port at 1905 this
afternoon. Her arrival here ended a
run of $40 miles that began Wednes-
day when an explosion on board the
ship started a fire and forced Captain
Claret to turn toward Halifax and
abandon his voyage to England with
sc, 6,00O,0 900 worth of munitions and sup
plies.
The early part of the $40 mile run
was made at full speed while the crew
fought and gained control over the fire
in the hold, but nearing the coast the
liner ran into a severe storm that COM
PEELED her to slow down.
Naval patrol boats put to sea today
to convoy to port the Minnehaha in
which fire broke out after q myster-
ious explosion, believed to have been
caused by a dynamite bomb in the
ship by Frank Holt, the assailant of
J. p. Morgan.
Officials Take Charge.
Naval authorities announced that
they would take charge of the ship as
soon as she reached the harbor and
guard of naval tugs would be placed
around her.
The naval authorities said that the
most drastic investigation would be
made and that no person would be
allowed to board the ship unless bear
ing special pass from admiralty Of
ficains.
1t is regarded as practically certain
that the vessel, which was heavily
laden with munitions Of war for the
AlHes-~wi9en she left Vow York, on
July 4, was set on fire by the explos-
ion of time-bomb. such as that
which Holt, the mad bomb-maker, set
off in the capitol at Washington.
Wireless stations all along the coast
flashed signals to the Minnehaha dur
ing the early morning for the Canadian
admiralty officials had given orders
to keep in wireless touch with the
burning liner.
Believes Fire Out.
The following dispatch from Captain
Claret of the Minnehaha, was received
at the office of the Atlantic Trans
port company at 8:45 a. NJ:
Thanks for your wireless. Fire ap-
parently steamed out. Think it neces-
sary to discharge some Of the cargo
at Halifax. Investigate upper Orlop"
The reference to upper Orlop" was
taken by the lines officials to mean
that Captain Claret believed it neces-
sary to ascertain the condition about
the upper Orlop deck after removing
part of the cargo.

KITCHENER
PLEADS. FOR.
BIG ARMY

LONDON, July 9.-"The reasons
which made me predict long war
still hold good, and the time has come
when wish to make larger dema ds
upon the resources of British man
hood"
This striking declaration was made
here today by War Secretary Lord
Kitchener in an appeal to the patri-
otism of the nation. Lord Kitchener,
at Guild hall created tremendous pub
lie interest in his speech, and the build
ing was overcrowded. Lord Kitchener
did not minimize the seriousness of the
situation which England faces. He
laid strong emphasis on the need OF
more men, and then still more men,
but he declared that the general situa-
tion in the theatres of war was far
better for the allies than it was ten
months ago.
'The recent fall of, the retreating fig
ures was due only to temporary cir
cumstances,'' explained the secretary.
"The time has come when something
more is required in order to insure an
adequate supply Of men. When regis
tration is completed for men between
19 and 40, those not required for work
in munition factories would be ap-
preached with view to enlistment.
Unmarried men will be preferred"
Lord Kitchener indicated by this
that the government is ready to resort
to actual conscription.

COLLINS SENTENCES
DEMOCRATIC EDITOR
IN CONTEMPT CASE

INDIANAPOLIS, July 9-George NJ
Ray, publisher of the Herald, a week
ly Democratic paper, was sentenced
to 80 days in Jail and fined $25 and
costs for contempt of court by Judge
Collins of the Marion county criminal
court after one of the most scorching
lectures ever heard in a court room.
The contempt charge was based on an
editorial published while the grand
jury was investigating alleged elec-
tion frauds.
The paragraph in the editorial
which resulted in sentence read:
"The Republicans are having a hard
time getting the Marion county grand
jury to come through with a batch o.
indictments against about $50 Demo.
Gratis for alleged violations of the
election laws"
Rays explanation that the editorial
was written hurriedly was declared to
be no excuse at all. He was released
on a writ of supercedeas indicating
that he intends to take an appeal.

ing neutrality by carrying ammunition

MARLEY DIES
FROM FALL IN
JUMP ON HILL

Runaway of a horse hauling a party
of turtle hunters in spring wagon
last Saturday night, when it became
frightened and darted down the
steep Bachmeyer hill on the Liberty
pike, south of this city, resulted in
the death early this morning at Reid
hospital of one of the party, Cyrenus
Morley, aged AZ, residing at 221 North
Sixteenth street.
Morley, who is survived by his vito
and six children. sustained fractured
skull and fatal internal injuries. 9th
er members of the party were Pat
Muhl, Pat Lavender. Ben Redding-
haus, Frank "Snooks" Murray and
James Gee. the last two colored. Tho
police are informed that most of the
men had been drinking heavily and
had with them in the wagon a keg OF
beer and some whisky.
When the horse bolted Morley was
asleep in the bed Of the vehicle. The
yells of his companions aroused him
and he jumped. It is believed one Of
his feet caught in the spokes of back
wheel, throwing him violently on the
road. The other men. with the ex-
ception of Gee, at once followed Nor.
ley's example.
0SS w wagon.
Gee grabbed the reins and held to
them until the harness broke. Then
he jumped, the horse kicking him
twice before he was propelled into a
fence. One blow landed on his FORE
head, the other ripping deep cash in
his left leg. After Gee jumped the
wagon dashed into a bridge, breaking
the vehicle into small bits.
Reddinghaus is reported to be still
confined to his bed with very painful
injuries. Murray and Gee imped into
police headquarters today and gave an
account of the accident to Coroner
Morrow Both men are badly cut and
bruised. Lavender and Muhl are also
said to be very painfully bruised.
Gee denied to Chief Goodwin the
statement made by a man who wit
messed the accident that when Morley
jumped from the wagon no unusual ef-
fort was made to stop the horse, and
that he yelled to them to come back
for their companion as he was dying
Gee said 1t was impossible to stop the
horse and that he was the first one
to reach Morley. He had Morley re-
moved to Richmond in a vehicle which
happened to be passing by, Gee said.

Copenhagen. The feeling prevails to-
day that the answer now coming
would fail to meet the demands re-
specting the rights of neutrals con-
tanned in the first and second Lusi-
tania notes of President Wilson. On
the other hand it was declared to be
altogether likely that the Germans
would include a scheme for the pro-
lection of neutrals which would re-
quire an indefinite exchange of notes.

after YOU ARE FORTY

Forty is the age of greatest effort with
most people. Vitality is used up at the
most rapid pace. The struggle to secure
competence for old age produces nerve
strain, the failure to succeed causes
worry, nervous breakdown, neurasthenia.
Middle-aged people find that they can
not run as fast, nor are they as agile as
in youth. The internal organs also feel
the effect of age. The digestion resents
things that it accepted before, the heart
palpitates on slight exertion, the muscles
of the back ache after days work.
Your blood is thinner and not SO bright
q red as formerly.
When these things occur, whether you
are fourteen or forty, you need tonic.
