Shoots Recklessly
81 ASSOCIATED. PRESS.

Macon, Ga, July 14.-Three white
men are dead at Cochran, Ca, in
Pulaski county and a posse estimat-
ed to number several hundred farm
ers heavily armed today had sur
rounded the home of James Jackson,
negro farm hand who is accused Of

w. S. Hogg, aged 40, night mar
shall.
Lynn Sanders, 40, farmer super
visor.
Oscar Lawson, %, farm hand.
Jackson, according to reports of

and the supervisor is said to have
struck the negro. Later it is alleged,
jackson accosted Sanders, drew re-
volver and fired twice, one bullet en-
tering Sanders heart, killing him al
most instantly.

MINERS STRIKE
WILL c UR TAIL
BRITISH co Al
Men of South Wales Refuse
To Work-No Change In
the War Situation
BIZ Associated PRESS.

London, July 14.-Despite the ac-
ton of the British government in APP
plying the munitions of war act to
the coal mining industry, which will
make miners subject to severe fines if
they strike, it is practically certain
that a large number of men will stop
work in South Wales tomorrow, thus
curtailing the supply of coal for naval
vessels.
The Federation of Miners, labor
leaders and general public are urging
the miners to continue at work until
an agreement can be reached, but the
executive council of the South Wales
union refused to support this recon-
mendation. It is not believed, how
ever, that the struggle will last long
as the South Wales union has not
funds to finance a long struggle.
There is possibility that the govern
ment will utilize he miners, who en-
listed in the army and who have not
left England, to work the mines.
The question of the miners strike
occupies the public mind of England
above the fighting in the European
war

FRAHERNALISM
is EXEMPLIF|ED
At INSTALLATION
Pretty Ceremony by Pythian
Sisters Is Witnessed by
Large Number
SCOTT NJ. LOFTIN
DELIVERS ADDRESS
Pays Compliment to Auxil-
larry to the Knights
of Pytf1ias

Fraternahsm was beautifully exem-
plified last night at the installation
ceremonies of the Pythians Sisters,
which were held at their hall on East
Intendencia street, the officials for
the ensuing six months being install
ed with appropriate and beautiful
ceremonies.
The principal features of the even
ing were the rites of installation and
the drill of the Pythian Sisters, which
followed these ceremonies, after which
the Grand Chancellor Commander of
the State of Florida, Hon. Scott M.
Loftin, made a most impressive talk,
in which he emphasized the beauty
of the tenets of faith of the order,
and the spirit of fraternalism which
prevails in the auxiliary to the
Knights of Pythias.
In speaking of the spirit of fra
ternalism, Mr. Loftin said that he
sometimes thought that the women
came nearer realizing the principles
of fraternalism than the men did.
While short, owing to the lateness
of the hour and the heat of the eve
ming, Mr.. Loftin's address was mark
ed by many fine expressions Of that
spirit which pervades the Pytnian or
EXAMINATIONS, and in bringing out his
points, he used some very beautiful
illustrations in poetry and prose, clos
ing with the beauty words of the
Pythian creed.

The installation ceremonies were
held under the direction of Acting
Grand Chief, Mrs. Bertha Crawford;
Mrs. S. D. Davis, G. S.; Mrs. Title

FORTY VESSELS ARE
SUNK IN ONE DAY.

Berlin, July 14.-During June
twenty-nine British, three French, one
Belgian and nine Russian merchant
ment were sunk by German subma-
rines, says an Overseas agency bulle-
tin. The total loss of the entente
allies by submarines, including fish
ing steamers which mostly were
armed patrol boats, aggregated 1851

The loss OF human life was remark
ably small, the submarines using ev-

warning and time for crews to leave
their ships if no resistance were at
tempted.

State to Have Artillery Corps.

Plans for organizing complete ar
tillery corps under the Wisconsin Ma
tional Guard are under consideration
by the National Guard officials.
The matter has been brought before
Gen. Orlando Holway and his aids by
the United States war department,
and, it is understood, the war depart
ment has offered to furnish equipment
for a complete artillery organization.
The Wisconsin military officials are
$50 favorable to the project that 1t Is
more than probable organization work
will be started within the next few
months.
Battery A, Milwaukee, is now the
only artillery company in Wisconsin.
Under the plan as proposed, Wisconsin
would have complete organization OF
heavy field artillery and rapid fire de-
tachments, equipped with the latest
models of field artillery and machine
guns.
The purpose is to have throughout
the United States men and horses
trained in artillery handling, so that In
case of war the country would not
have to rely entirely upon a small
standing army. The European war
has brought to the attention of the
United States war department the abb
solute necessity of artillery training in
modern warfare and with well organ
lied artillery corps in the state militia
the country would be prepared to
handle any emergency situation.
This announcement following the
organization of the new commissary
or supply department, headed by Judge
Michael F. Blenski, lieutenant, for the
Wisconsin National Guard, which is
to be fully equipped for field service
with modern trucks, is part of plan
of complete reorganization of the Wis
consin militia in conformity to a plan
including the National Guard of the
country, to meet modern development
of artillery in warfare.

The mortality table issued by the
state board of health shows that there
were 1895 deaths in Wisconsin dur
ing the months of January, February

trars throughout the state.
This is exclusive. of 453 still-births,

with that of other years, it is shown
the rate for the first quarter of 1917

The Wisconsin State Bankers asso-

Gov. E. L. Philip and the state I'M
migration department in a plan to
bring to Wisconsin settlers from the
European war zone.
Not a pauper class of settlers is
wanted, nor q class of workmen from
the shops and factories of Europe, but
the thrifty farming class, who would
be willing to come to this country TO
make their homes.
Names will be secured through pres
ent citizens of the state, actual set
tiers, through the churches and clergy
men. For the most part, the bankers
believe, these names will be OF rela-

will be furnished the state immigra-

the request that literature on Wiscon-
