Death of Mrs. John Bright.

Mrs. Lizzie Bright, wife of John
Bright, citizen of the vicinity of
Obion, died from the effects of a
stroke of paralysis at 1890 o'clock
Thursday morning, July /, 1915.
Mrs. Bright was a daughter of P.
H. Marberry, pioneer citizen of
the county. She was married to
Jas. Holmes, her first husband, and
some years after his death to Mr..
Bright, who survives her. There
were no children of the latter union
Mrs. Bright was about sixty years
of age. She was a member of the
Baptist Church, a sweet-spirited wo-
man, whose sacrifices and devotions
have endeared her to host of kind
friends. We knew her in the long
ago, and of the Christian fortitude,
the patience, long suffering, and the
purity of heart and character which
endured and strengthened her, and
ennobled her life.
God gave her life as a blessing to
those with whom she lived and to
the devoted husband whom she
leaves behind.
Services were held at the home,
conducted by Rev. H. H. Drake and
the remains were inferred at Camp
ground.

Paducah- to- Memphis highway engi-
neering committee, began laying of
sections for the highway in this

will be completed by July Is. All
engineers are volunteers in the
work
The attention of civil engineers in
Memphis and in the territory trav-
ersed by the "Paducah to Memphis
Highway" has been called to the
opportunity for them to aid this
movement in a substantial manner.
The committee in charge of the
movement has appointed an engi-
neering committee to outline plan
whereby the best results can be ac-
complished by the volunteer citi-
zens' forces on July 20. The COM
mittee is composed of the following
engineers: S. G. Walker, court
house, Memphis; A. L. Dabney, Por-
ter Building, Memphis; Kelly Bros,
Union City, Tenn; Stanley A. Mil
ler Monroe street, Paducah, Ky.
Every engineer who can volunteer
to devote about three days to this
movement is requested to promptly
communicate with one of the above
gentlemen. By performing this ser
vice engineers will encourage an en-
terprise in which, both as members
of the profession and as citizens of
the community, they should feel
much interest.

that had been done, as basic prin-
ciple, together with the statement of
the American position with respect
to the possible sinking Of American
ships by mistake, there would now
have been ground for strong repre-
sentations in remonstrance against
the loss of an American life in the
sinking of British merchantmen.
1t is urged by Germany that SUBJ
marine commanders are compelled to
act quickly in the dispatching Of mer-
chantrnen because of the suspicion
that some of the mercantile vessels
of England have been secretly armed
to resist submarine attacks, and
there is, therefore, no time for the
adequate rescue or escape of the
passengers and crew. AS matter of
fact it is not known that single one
of the ships sunk by German sub
marines has carried so much as sa-
luting gun. The principle upon which
marine warfare is being conducted
in this respect is that which it was
attempted to establish at the out
set. that the sinking of a neutral ship
"by mistake" would be justihable on
the ground of the possibility of her
being the ship OF a belligerent ma
ton.
On the basis of ordinary humanity
there can be no tolerance of MUIR
derous warfare for which the sole
excuse is suspicion. If this eonten-
ton that the submarine is justified in
sinking peremptorily any ship she
encounters of British nationality be-
cause she may be armed is main
tanned, war at sea assumes an as
pect of "frightfulness" against which
the neutral world may we'll stand
aghast. A positive result Of such
policy should be the immediate arm
ing of every merchantmen. If a ship
is to be sunk promptly upon being
sighted her commander might as well
have a chance to sink his assailant.
In other words, if all ships of bel
lgerent powers are to be sunk at
sight as potential war vessels they
should be put into condition 10 act as
warships.

Trash Fires.

Warming has been uttered against
the danger of accidents to children
in the course of the cleanup work,
which will doubtless involve the
burning of much trash in bonhres on
vacant lots during the fortnight OF
municipal housekeeping next month.
1t is undoubtedly true that children,
who naturally love to watch fires and
to take part in their making, will be
attracted to the trash burnings, but
it is also to be borne in mind that none
of these fires should be started save
by adults, and they should be care
fully watched throughout the burn
ing. There is no particular risk about
we'll tended fire in the open. 1t is
especially important that no fires
should be permitted unless under the
supervision of some responsible per-
son, who will guard against the burn
ing of children and the spread of the
FIRE to property. Much of the trash
accumulated will be burned in this
way, but there is no plan to have the
city made the scene of promiscuous
bonhres for the sake of the clearance
of infammable rubbish.

The May Yan-Amer1can Conference.

The postponement of the pan
American financial conference in this
city from May 10 to May "a is doubt
less in the interest of more perfect
arrangement of program for that i'm
portant gathering. Secretary Nc
Adoo's illness, from which he is now
fortunately recovering, has necessa-
rily affected the preparations, and the
postponement insures, presumably,
his full restoration to health by the
time that the Representatives of the
three Americas meet here to discuss
the questions outlined in the recent
enactment by Congress.
1t is of the utmost importance that
this conference should be fully at
tended. Conditions are such as TO
increase the mutual dependence Of the
American republics. Not only is
the need Of closer commercial rela-
dons between them greater, but
the opportunity for an improvement
Of their financial and trade conditions
Is afforded by the situation in Eu-
rope. Out of this emergency should
come a strong union of interests in
the western hemisphere, and this
forthcoming May conference of the
American republics is likely to lay
the foundations for this develop
ment.

Police and Federal Prisoners.

Owing to recent court decision a
custom that has prevailed here for
years which has made for the con-
venient care of federal prisoners in
custody of the marshal pending COM
mitment to Jail has been abrogated,
and such prisoners are henceforth to
be taken directly to the Jail upon ar
rest instead of being cared for over
night in the station houses. 1t ap-
pears that prisoner was Borrow
ed" from the marshal by a police
captain for purposes of examination
on a collateral line from that of the
offense for which he was arrested,
and. later suing for false imprison-
ment, obtained verdict on ground
of improper detention. It is difficult
to see wherein this decision affects
the practice heretofore followed OF
using station houses for temporary de-
tention at the request of the marshal,
but perhaps out of abundant caution
the police department has ordered
that hereafter no federal prisoners
shall be received from the marshal
for this purpose. 1t is a question
whether the District can in this man
