Been Supplied from U. S. Ports.

The British admiral commanding the
fleet along the Atlantic coast has noti-
fled the British ambassador here, Sir
Cecil Spring Rice, and he in turn has
notified the State Department that
no supplies whatever have been taken
to the ships from American ports, as
has been charged in New York
The admiral reported that ample
supplies were being obtained from
Halifax and Bermuda. and that, more
over. the ships were frequently being
relieved on their stations, and there
was no need to send supplies out to
them. Some time ago the ambassador
announced that commanders had been
instructed to take no supplies what

out clearly, like a great gray cigar that
floated. unlighted, through the sky.
The searchlight on the Eiffel tower

in the city shot their long beams on the

flashes of white. The glare when they
exploded was almost binding.
Red Light Glowed From Airship.

dropped. A tiny red light glowed from
the Zeppelin each time. This was the
only light the airship showed. AS the
bomb came to earth we could trace IT'D

Several seconds elapsed from the time
the bomb reached the city till we heard

of the explosion was terrible. The air
ship remained above the city for some
little time-it seemed to me like half an
hour-and then sailed away, apparently

Entry, the stepfather of the lad on
Dec. 10. The lad shot him after he had
beaten the boys mother and started
back to the house threatening her and
members Of the family further in
juries.
The defense introduced testimony
showing a long list of abuses to which
the woman had been subjected at the
hands of the deceased and placed the
case before the jury on the proposition
that the lad, who is II years DID,
frenzied, and fearful that the elder
man would kill or seriously injure his

Kindling fire in a kitchen stove
with the aid Of oil came near costing
the life of Mrs. c. J. Boardway, their
home and the life Of the little son.
Mrs. Boardway was about to start the
fire to prepare the MONDAY meal, and
in her haste picked up a can of oil
which she supposed was kerosene, and
poured a quantity upon the kindling
in the stove and when she threw the
lighted match into the stove an ex-
plosion took place In which she was
terribly burned. Although being
severely burned about the face and
hands Mrs. Boardway succeeded in
extinguishing the flames which were
threatening the destruction of their
home and the life Of the little son. who
was in an adjoining room on the bed.
The flames spread over considerable
area of, the kitchen and 1t was by the
most heroic efforts on the part of the
frightfully burned young woman that

Quoting a check-up campaign to insure
an accuracy of the count. While
speculation Is rife as to the official
figures showing the population OF the

low. 1t seems to be conceded the final
figures will show most substantial
growth in Iowa Falls. There seems to
be a strong opinion prevailing that the
count will reveal around 1880 people.
II this Is true, the growth will be q
gratifying one. as the national census
showed the city had 5000 people. II the
city shows growth of 500 in the past
five years, 1t Will be in line with tho
average growth Of other cities Of this

Clinton, April 19--In the discovery OF
post cards on the mutilated and de-
composed bodies Of the two dead men
found in a gondola car on west
bound Northwestern railway freight
train at Dewitt Friday noon 1t is be-
lieved possible clue to their identity
has been found. The cards were adj
dressed to Mrs. Mary Rager, 1928 South

telegraphed for information.
The bodies were turned over to
Coroner Mccormick at Lowden, who
has decided not to hold an inquest.
Both OF the men were apparently about
20 years of age and both had blue eyes
and sandy hair. One was about five
feet and five inches in height and the
other about two inches shorter. There
is a possibility that they were broth
ers.
Both had broken necks. While at
first theory of double murder was
prominent, it is now believed the two
men have been accidentally killed in
some manner, thru the shifting of the
beams, falling from them or in some
other way. The cause of death, how
ever, is still obscure. The car origin
