REPORTS BREMEN'S CAPTURE
British Ship Officer Quoted as Say
ing Submarine Was Caught in
Straits of Dover.

New York, n. Y.-The New York
City News Association, which gathers
news for New York newspapers, has
quoted an officer of the British mer-
chant marine, who arrived here on
board the White Star liner Baltic, as
authority for the statement that the
German submarine Bremen has been
captured by the British and her crew
Of 35 made prisoners. The Bremen,
according to the account, was cap
tured in the Straits of Dover in a
steel net on Aug. 2. Two members Of
her crew lost their lives.
The Bremen, it was said, while en-
meshed in the net, was sighted by a
British patrol boat, her stern under
water and her bow above the surface.
After ~endeavoring for a time to ex-
tricate the wreck, the patrol boat
steamed away to Dover with her pris-
oners.
According to the officer quoted, the
British government has maintained
silence in regard to the capture as
another transatlantic submarine, the
Amerika, was said to be on the way
here and it was hoped to capture her
also.

WOMAN SHOOTS CAPTAIN FUGITIVE CAUGHT IN WEST
FORGED NAME OF HIS BROTHER
EIGHT YEARS AGO.
J. M. Ford, Accused of Forgery at
cassVile, Trapped After Changing
Name and Disgusting as Farmer

North Yakima, Wash.-J. M.
Ford, who for years has been
going under the name of C. c. Hard
castle, a prosperous farmer of the
Grenger district, was arrested hero
by a detective and taken back to
Cassville, Mo-, to answer a charge of
forgery.
1t is alleged that he forged the name
of his brother-in-law to notes for sew
eral thousand dollars eight years ago.
Since then the officers have been
following many clews.
Finally, a detective, disguised as a
lawyer settling up Ford's fathers es-
tate, secured entrance to the home of
Mrs. Ford's parents in Oklahoma, and
while her aged mother was in another
room rifled the desk and obtained a
letter written by Ford's little girl
to her grandparents.
Ford reluctantly admitted his iden-
tity when arrested and returned to
Missouri without '%extradition papers,
expressing confidence that he could
square accounts.
The officers agreed to keep the ar
rest secret, but facts became known
when the Union Bank of Granger ap
piled in court for a receiver for the
Ford estate, elleging Indebtedness to
the bank.

REPORT GERMAN CROPS GAIN
Yield of Grain Reported to Be Es-
pecialIy Large Due to In
tensive Farming.

Berlin, Germany.-Reports on con
ditions in the central empire, received
from thousands Of communities at
the ministry of the interior, indicate
that Germany (outside of the occu-
pied territory and not counting the
shipments of grain from Roumania)
will garner a harvest exceeding the
1915 yield by fully 10 per cent. This
prediction is based on sectional fore
casts and on samples of %threshing
tests.
When the official figures are made
public the world at large will learn
that Germany's 1916 crop of wheat,
rye, oats, barley and potatoes is such
that the prophecy of the allies re-
garding the starvation of Germany is
made to look ridiculous, it is stated.

..DIsCOLORATIONs IN
CAPITOL STONES
"HALF MOONS" CAUSED BY SALT
USED TO PREVENT DRILL
HOLES FROM FREEZING.
TO BE READY FOR OCCUPANCY
Capitol Commissioners Diselaim Any
Responsibility and Say Action
to Prevent Freezing Mas
Taken by Contractors.
Jefferson City.

Jefferson City.
Hundreds of stones used on the
exterior of the new Missouri state
capitol, now under construction, are
marred by large discolorationt in the
shape of half moons.
These half-moon shaped discolora-
lions were caused by the percolation
of salt in solution through the pores
of the stones.
They are troubling both the COM
missioners and the contractors, and
may provoke controversy later on un-
less they disappear or are satisfac-
torily removed.
When the stones were quarried and
dressed each of them had drilled in
to them two holes and these are used
for hosting and moving them about.
When freezing weather came on last
winter these drill holes filled with
water and the expansion by freezing
cracked many of the stones.
When this was discovered, the con-
tractor, John Gill & Sons Co., through
its agents, put salt into these holes
to prevent their freezing.
This salt, dissolved by water, drained
from the holes through the pores in
the hard limestone. Upon the face of
each stone so treated appears a dis
celebration which is visible for a long
distance.
Some of the stones thus discolored
have been set in the walls and ex-
posed to the wind and sun for sew
eral months, and hundreds for sew
eral weeks, but the spots are still
pronounced.
The capitol commissioners disclaim
any responsibility for the use of salt
in the drill holes and say this ac-
tion to prevent freezing was taken
by the contractor upon his own re-
sponsibility.
John T. Short, who supervises the
work for the state, says that the salt
was used by Gill without the approval
of the commission. Short was of
the opinion, however, that the spots
would disappear in time.
The discolorations were removed
from a number of the stones, Speer
said, by a slight dressing. The com
mission does not believe the structure
of the stone has been harmed by the
salt solution, the only damage being
to the beauty of"the stone.
Within six weeks the stone on the
exterior will be in place and the pre-
diction is that the legislative halls
will be ready for occupancy by the
time the legislature meets. 1t would
be necessary, however, to use the
present furniture because the COM
mission is without authority to pur-
chase any, the supreme court has
held.

Macon, Ga.-Capt. Edgar ], Sprat-
ling of F company, fifth regiment, ma
tional guard of Georgia, was shot and
killed in his tent at the state mobil-
ization camp here by Mrs. H. c.
Adams of Atlanta.
At the county Jail, where she is
held on a charge of murder, Mrs.
Adams asserted that Capt. Spratling,
who was a physician, had offended
her by attentions paid her several
weeks ago while she was in his office
in Atlanta for treatment.
According to Lieut.. Samuel A. KY
sor of F company, who seized her a
moment after the shooting, she cried
out as she shot the officer: you have
ruined my home"
After the shooting she seemed hys-
terical. She said afterwards she had
never before seen Capt. Spratling in
his uniform, but that he had treated
her for trouble.
Referring again to the shooting, she
declared: 81 decided, that there was
but one thing for me to do, and I
did it. When the testimony comes
out | feel lure the public;will be with

Capt. Spratling, who was AZ years
old, and married. was well knownin
medical and social circles in Atlanta.
He was regarded a an expert on in
sanity and once was connected with
the Matteawan IN. " asylum in that
capacity.
Flags were placed at half mast in
the state camp and preparations made
to take the officers body to Atlanta
under military escort. His fellow
officers indicate a belief that some
nervous disorder had caused the
woman to think the physician-officer
had acted improperly toward her.

Attitude of Candidates on LIQUOR.

Neither former Supreme Judge
Henry Lamm, the Republican nomi-

want the liquor question brought up
as an issue in the campaign. The
experience Of both in the primary
election was such as to cause them
to wish to have the question dropped
from political discussion. Both Lamm
and Gardner we're attacked during
the campaign as being "wets," al
though neither candidate, either by
his own declaration, or by his record,
took any stand for or against either
side in the wet and dry controversy.
