British Ship Captain Shot For Trying
to Fam Submarine.


Captain Ch1res Fryat, OF the
Great Eastern RAILWAYS steamship
brussels, which vessel was can'
mred by German dcstroyers las
month and taken into Iebrugge, h~S
been executed by shooting after iai
before a naval court N artial.
The death sentence was passeI
upon Captain Tryatt because of his al
legged action in attempting previously
to ram @ German submarine.
Testimony was presented at the
court martial to show that while Cap
tain Fryatt did not belong to the arm
cd forces, he had attempted, on March
IS, 1915, while near the Mas light
ship, to ram the German submarine
U-33.
CAPTAIN Fryatt and the first officer
and the first engineer of the Brussels
received from the British admiralty
gold watches for 'brave conduct" and
were mentioned in the house of com,
mons.
The submarine U-33, according to
the official account of the trial, had
signalled to the British steamship to
show her flag and to stop, but Captain
Fryatt did not heed and it is alleged
turned at high speed toward the sub
marine, which escaped only by diving
Immediately below the surface.
Captain Fryatt, the official statement
says, admitted that he had followed
the instructions of the British admir-
atty. Sentence was confirmed and the
captain was shot for a ''f:anc tier' r
crime against German sea forces.
The trial was held at Bruges, Belsi -.

The Undersea Liner at Baltimore is

Trim Her Cargo.

Given Another Submerging Test to
Trim Her Cargo.
The German merchant submarine
Deutst hIand was cleared at the GUS
tom house in Baltimore, Nd, by
Captain Paul Koenig, her commander.
Custom officials said the Deut t3ch-
land cleared fer Bremen or any otLer
port in Germany and was loaded win
a cargo of general merchandise"
"The time Of my departure is indefl-
nite," said Captain kCenig in reply
to question asked b. custom officials
for the benefit OF the Pilot ass3c.a-
ton, Collector Ryan, with the approx,
al of the treasury department, granted
the request Of the commander that the
submarines manifest be withheld from
publication "for a reasonable time"
The Deutschland was given another
submerging test at her dock. When
she arose to the surface, ten minutes
later, Captain Koenig and Constructor
William Prusse expressed their salts
faction with the results.
1t was learned that the submergence
of the craft is necessary to trim ner
cargo properly.
Respecting a report that the Bre-
men, the Deutschland's sister ship,
which is expected hourly, in Amerl-
ncawaters, would go to Boston, it was
said at the Offices Of the Deutschland
agents, that the Bremen would seek
shelter at the nearest, safest and nest
convenient port on the Atlantic sea-
board"
An official report on the entry OF
q British cruiser into lower Chesa'
peake Bay reached the navy depart
ment in Washington from the com-
mander of the battleship Louisiana,
through the Norfolk navy yard.
Secretary Daniels announced that
the armored cruiser North Carolina
would do neutrality duty for the IreS'
ent outside the Virginia capes. The
navy department would make no com
mcnt, which could connect the order
to the cruiser with the recent visit
of the British cruiser.
The North Carolina went out and
was accompanied By two destrcye:s
It was said tic orders to the destroy
ers were for flying practice with the
North Carolina IN TIE southern drill
grounds, but it was pointed out that
such orders easily might keep them
with the cruiser while she is doing
neutrality duty.
While it vas no violation o. interna'
tional law for the British cruiser to
venture into American waters, naval
officers regard it as most unusual
that the incident should occur at this
time when a fleet of allied warships
are on The lockout for two German
submarines and the United States is
concerned in protection of its neutral
ity.
There is no doubt that if the allied
cruisers male it a practice to some
within the three-mi!e limit, the ques'
ton would be taken up officially.

HOW TO HEAL ITCHING,
BURNING SKIN DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema ringworm, rashes and
similar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get a jar
Of Resinol Ointment and cake Of
Resinol Soap. These are not at all ex-
pensive With the Resinol Soap and
warm water bathe the affected parts
thoroughly, until they are free from
1crusts and the skin is softened. Dry
very gently, spread on thin layer Of
the Resinol Ointment, and cover with
q light bandage-if necessary to pro-
tect the clothing. This should be done
twice day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again.-Adv.

CLOSE VOTE FOR REPRESENTA-
TIVE RESULTS IN PoLlTI.
CAL MIDDLE.
ELLIS WINS BY THREE VOTES
II Is Contended BY Holt That No Con-
test Was Filed as Contemplated BY
the State Statute as No Fraud or
irregularities Are Alleged.
Hope


There is considerable speculation
here as to who is the nominee for sec
ond place from this county for repre-
sentatives in the next General Assem-
bly,. ]. T. NJ. Holt of Bingen and ].
w Ellis of Ozan are the contending
candidates. After the primary cleo
tion the county Democratic central
committee met and canvassed the vote
and declared j. T. NJ. Holt the winner
by five votes. This report was adopt
ed by the county convention and Hollis
election was certified to the state
Democratic central committee by the
chairman Of the county central COM
mittee and the chairman of the coun-
ty convention. Subsequent to this
the newly elected county central COM
mittee met and organized to consider
a motion for a recount filed by Ellis,
which was granted, and upon a re-
count Of the ballots it was shown that
Ellis has won by three votes. 1t is
contended by Holt that no contest
was filed as contemplated by the stat
ute for the contest of primary cleo
tions, as no fraud or irregularities
were alleged, and no evidence intro
duced to show any reason for a re-
count Ellis motion merely stating that
there could be an error in the count
and that recount was desired.
1t is further contended that with
out contest being filed under the
state statute the new county central
committee had no authority to set
aside the decision of the former CEN
trail committee under the rules adopt
ed by the state Democratic central
committee, which provides that where
one county central committee declares
the result of an elecLon said decision
shall be final and the new or subse-
quently elected committee shall have
no authority or power to reopen or
in any way interfere with the deci-
sion of the former committee. Il is
contended that the rule further pro,
vides that if the newly elected com
mittee undertakes to interfere with
any decision of the former committee
the person aggrieved shall have the
right to appeal to the state Democrat
ic central committee, and it is under
this rule that Holt has appealed to
the state committee.
AS it stands at present, each COM
mittee has certified a different nomi-
nee to the state Democratic central
committee. Rumor says that there
will possibly be some contention be-
fore the state Democratic central COM
mittee about the proper preservation
of ballots.

According to an interview given out
by prosecuting Attorney N. r. Hud-

all pardons issued by Governor Hays
in cases where the law regulating the
Issuance of pardOns is not complied
with. Judge William j. Driver and
Judge ]. F. Gautney have taken posi-
tions similar to that upon which Mr..
HuddlestOn stands. In confirmation OF
Judge Drivers determination not to
recognize pardons Illegally considered
and issued by the governor, he ad-
dressed letter to Prosecuting AttOr-
ney Huddleston requesting him to no.
tify the sheriff OF Cross county TO take
Luther Wallen and Bob Turk, recent.
ly relieved Of fines and Jail sentences
ordered by Judge Driver on charges OF
contempt Of court, in custody and see
that they reported to him on the first
Monday in September, when the Grim,
inal division of the Cross Circuit
Court COnvenes. Wallen anG Turk,
by threats of violence, forced the
plaintiff in a damage suit against Wal.
len to write a letter to his attorney
requesting dismissal of the suit and
then made the plaintiff leave the cOun-
ty. Later the plaintiff communicated
with his attorney, o. n. Killough, over
long distance telephone, and told him
why he had left Cross county. Attor-
ney KillOugh conferred with Judge
Driver and they induced the plaintiff
to return to Wynne. The damage
case was tried and a verdict for 500
given the plaintiff. Judge Driver then
gave Wallen and Turk a hearing on
contempt charges, adiudged them
guilty and gave Wallen a fine of $500
and six months in Jail, and Turk a
fine of $3.50 and 80 days in jail. Ap-
peals were taken to the Supreme
Court, where the judgment of the
lower court was affirmed. This affirm
alton was followed by pardons issued
by the governor.
