INTERESTING SUIT IN SUPE-
RlOR COURT VICTORY FOR
STEAMER LINE.
VERDICT QUICKLY REACHED
Jury Held That the az Rolls cf
Wire When Placed on the Pier
At Island Was Delivered to
the Company.

On the ground that AZ rolls of cop
the Southern Bell Telephone company,
and which later disappeared. was ac-
tually delivered to the cOnsignees, a
jury in the Glynn superior court yes
terday returned verdict in favor of
the stear or line in the suit brought
by the telephone company against the
st. Simon Transit company, for the
loss OF that many rolls of wire. 1t was
rather a new point for a jury to de
eide, and the case will be carried to
the states highest tribunal for a final
decision, Judge Gale. representing the
telephone company, having already
made application for an appeal
The case lasted for almost two days
in the court, and the one question at
issue seemed to be whether or not the
carrying company had made actual de.
livery. Th telephone company claim
ed that the wire was delivered to the
steamer line in Brunswick, that It
was carried to st. Simon and unloaded
on the wharf. and the next morning it
was gond; that no representative Of
the telephone company signed for 1t,
that the freight was not paid. and
~ the wire was never actually deliv-
cred.
On the other hand the steamer line
claimed that actual delivery was made,
although the shipment was never sign
ed for, it being customary to deliver
all freight on the island without sign
ing for IT, The company showed by
the captain of the steamer that when
he arrived at the pier on the island a
representative of the telephone com
pany was on the wharf and he told
him there's your wire" This, the com
pany claims, was an actual delivery of
the cargo.
The jury remained out for only
short time, returning a verdict in favor
of the defendant company.

Some of them had bee nwounded by

Two soldiers were told by Col,
Lopez to kill the Americans. One of
them went up to the first foreigner

REPORT TELLS OF DEATH

Ell PASO, Jan. 13.-It is rumored

tice. He also gave assurances that
General CarranZa would take steps to
remedy the situation in the state of
Durango in which depredations
against foreigners have been re-
ported.
. There were no developments in the
situation at the White House or at
the state department but in congress
it was given attention. Senator Lewis,
Democrat, introduced a resolution
proposing to empower the president
to use the army and navy to restore
order in Mexico as has been done in
Haiti and Nicarauga. He asked that
it lay over without action, however,
and there was no further debate at
that stage.
In the house, Representative Slay-
den, Democrat, of Texas, defended
the recognition of General Carranza
and declared that if order were not
restored a Pan-American coalition of
nations should do it.

Flag Flies Over the Palace on
Corfu-War Summary.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-News from
the eastern front of the capture of
Sadagura by the Russians is regard
ID in military circles as probably
true, although official announcement
on the subject has not been received.
The town, which lies a few miles
northeast of Czernowitz and is a
.onverging point for five good roads,
is of considerable strategic import.
ance and previous attempts to cap
ture it have been stoutly resisted.
Experts said Sandaguara is reall, !,
of more importance than Czernowitz
on account of its stronger natural
position and facilities for communi-
cation purposes.
The report from Petrograd that
the offensive in Galicia and Bessara-
bia had been suspended for the pres
ent is regarded as at least premature.
The Russian offensive could not. it
is believed be suspended suddenly,
as it was undertaken after careful
preparation and launched with un-
expected strength. The object of that
offensive is said to be three fold:
To demonstrate to the Rouman-
ians that the Russian forces are able
to assume the initiative when they
choose
Secondly, to divert Austro-G German
forces from the Balkans and western
front, and finally to improve the gen
eral strategic position of their own
left flank.
While the full effect of this Rus
sian offensive cannot yet be deter
mined, entente military experts af-
firm that the second object was at
tanned, that the situation in the Bal
kans was suddenly relieved and that
the operation undertaken by the
Germans against the French in
Champagne was robbed of its force.
The fact that the French flag is
waving over the palace on the Island
of Corfu, which belonged to the
German emperor and that the oc-
cupatiOn of the Greek island by the
entente is considered as complete
has, it is reported, already evoked a
protest from the Greek government.
It is said that the protest is largely
formal and that the allies have given
Greece guarantees regarding their
intentions. Greece, it is understood,
takes sympathetic view of the en-
tente action as it is for the purpose
of preventing the Servian army from
risking the danger of starvation,

forces which were employed suffered
terrible losses.

developing their campaign. in Monte

the fall of Cettinje, the capital of
Montenegro, is possible soon.

INTEREST DEVELOPED AT THE
MEETING AT CONVENTION
HALL FRIDAY NIGHT - NOTH-
ING BUT PERMANENT ROADS.

The good roads meeting at the con.
vention hall Friday night developed a
lot of enthusiasm from the assemblage
for good and permanent roads in
Carter county. j. w. Kruger presid-
ed and the committee appointed at a
recent meeting headed by Max West
heimer made their report and stated
that the people of Carter county were
alive to the necessity of good roads
and were ready and willing to vote a
bond issue for that purpose. 1t was
advocated that bond issue of 100000
be called and when the board of coun-
ty commissioners meet tomorrow, they
will be presented with lengthy petit
tion asking that the election be called
Immediately and that work start as
soon as possible.
The question Of temporary repairs
was discussed and it was decided that
two days in this month, to be fixed
later, be set aside for road working
days in which every man in the coun-
ty participate.
Max Westheimer, chairman of the
committee that reported last night,
stated that the sentiment of the coun-
try people was for permanent roads,
and urged that no delay be tolerated
to this end. Some opposition to the
bond issue was developed, but when
it was demonstrated that the added
tax to the one who opposed the bond
issue would be exactly 81 cents, he i'm
modiatcly subsided and stated that
he was In favor of good roads.

ent and made rousing good roads

PEOPLE MUST
OBSERVE RULES
Of THE ROAD
GIVE HALF OF RIGHT OF WAY is
ALL AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS
ASK OF TRANSFERS IN THE
COUNTRY.

Nearly every day some one comes to
the Ardmoreite office and registers a
kick against the practice that certain
toamsters have of ignoring signals and
mobiles to pass their vehicles, often
times compelling the driver of an auto
to trail in a veil of dust until the
/ roads of sufficient width to allow
! him to pass. This has been reported
| several times, and for the benefit of
| autoists the law governing the case
! is herewith reproduced that it may
have the effect of making some of the
road hogs" sit up and take notice.
A fine, plastered to a few of this
breed, in each precinct of the county
might have the effect of teaching the
rest that because a man has been so
fortunate as to own a car he should
not be looked upon as a plutocrat by
some who take a fendish delight in
blocking the road when they have the
shadow of an opportunity, and unless
the practice is abandoned the chances
are that they will have a chance to
hear the law read to them in the
court house. Following are the statu- .
tory rules of the road as enacted by |
the fifth Oklahoma legislature:
Sec. II. Rule L. Vehicles in meet |
ing each other shall keep to the right .
of the center of the road
Rule >. All vehicles Overtaking 9th
ers, shall, in passing keep to the left
of the center of the road and shall
not pull over to the right until entire
ly clear of the vehicle passed.
Rule 8. All vehicles turning to the
right into another road shall turn the
corner as near the curb as practicable.
Rule 4. All vehicles turning to the
left into another road shall pass be-
yond the center of the intersecting
road before turning.
Rule 3.-All vehicles crossing from
one side of the street to the other
shall do so by turning to the left, so
as to go in the same direction as the
traffic on each side of the street.
Rule g. All motor vehicles before
passing other vehicles from the rear
shall give notice of approach by a horn
or other signal before passing; provid-
ed, that said vehicle shall be required
when signaled to turn to one side and

The tax payers of the city and coun-
