TAXPAYERS SLOW
MAKING RETURNS
FOR COMING YEAR
RECEIVERS BOOKS HAVE BEEN
OPEN SINCE FEBRUARY FIRST,
AND ONLY A FEW HAVE so FAR
MADE RETURNS.

Glynn county property owners are
not anxious to get their property list
ed for state and county taxes during
1916.
Tax Receiver J. f. Dubberly stated
yesterday that although the books had
been open nearly a month and a half
only a few people had made their
returns. The books openend Febru-
ary l and will close May l.
1t is the general custom here for
people to wait until the last week
and then there is such mad rush to
get property on the books that the
tax receiver is stamped with returns
1t costs no more to make your re-
turns now than it will cost to return
your property on the last day. Why
not go over TO the receivers office
now and make your returns? 1t will
save your time and the receiver
trouble.
All property you owned in Glynn
county on January / is subject to tax
alton this year and should be returned.

SMALL DAMAGE
TO POWER HOUSE
THIS VALUABLE PART OF THE
YARYAN PLANT NOT sE-
'RlOUSLY DAMAGED.

The valuable power house of the
Yaryan plant, which cost approximate
ly $4,000, in building and equipment,
and which, it was thought Friday
night, had been destroyed or badly
damaged, was found to be In almost
perfect condition yesterday morning.
When the flames were raging Friday
evening. they soon leaped from one
of the main buildings over to the pow
er plant and 1t was the general belief
that the machinery, etc, mad all been
badly damaged. AS soon as it was
safe to enter the power plant yester-
day it was found that all OF the boil
ers, machinery, etc. had only been
slightly damaged.
During the fire Friday night, be-
fore the flames reached the power
plant, it was hoped that this part OF
the big plant would not be destroyed,
and considerable satisfaction was ex-
pressed yesterday that the damage to
ii had been small.

FALLS INTO WELL;
LOSES HIS LIFE
JAMES PYLES, OF PYLES MARSH.
ATTACKED WITH EPILEPTlC
FIT FRIDAY NIGHT.

When James Pyles, of Pyles Marsh,
ten miles from the city, went to his
well to draw q pail Of water Friday
night, he was attacked with an epilep-
tic fit, fell into the wen and was
drowned before assistance arrived.
Mr.. Pylcs, ii Is understood, was sub

he left his residence and went to the
well, "A short distance away. Failing
to return for some little time his
brother, d. B. Pyles, hurried to the
well, and he discovered that his broth
or had fallen into the well and was
drowned. 1t is probable that in the
fall he struck his head on the side
Of the well.
The deceased has resided near Pyles
Marsh practically all of his life and
was well known among many friends
in this city. He also has a large mum.

plant will continue intact and it may
be that the Mississippi plant will be

While of course the fire will neces-
sarily throw number of people in

temporarily, still as soon as the re-
building is under way an equally large
force will probably be employed, there

CANAL WILL NOT
Be SWALLOWED
BY EARTHQUAKE OR FILLED BY
EARTH SLIDES, SAYS FORMER
CANAL GEOLoGIST.

WASHINGTON, Marcn 1.-THE
Panama canal will not be swallowed
up by an earthquake in the future and
the troublesome slides now being en-
countered will eventually be conquer
ed in the opinion of Donald F. Nc
! Donald, former canal geologist and
now connected with the federal bureau
of mines. The results of his studies
on the isthmus are embodied in an
official report to the bureau made pub
| lie today.
While, through seismic disturbances,
the earth's crust on the whole isthmus
is rising at the rate Of three feet every
hundred years, this will only mean a
little additional expense in dredging
the big waterway Mr.. Mcdonald says.
The cause of this rising, he declares,
is the sinking of the ocean bottom out
i side the isthmus shore waters.
Discussing the slides Mr.. McDon-
aid states that in many cases the i'm
mediate cause was the over-steepness
and height of the slope, the blasting
/ and other work attributable only to
man. He adds that the geologic con
ditions were not sufficiently consider
ed in the first plans for digging Gu
| Zebra cut.
| Recent reports that the Gatun rocks
in time would soften into mud, when
Gatun lake filled, and thus the locks
and dam would sink, have not the
slightest foundation on geologic data,
declares Mr. Macdonald.

AMERICANS ARE
AMONG THOSE ON
TORPEDOED BARK
NO WARNING WAS GIVEN, 1T
is REPORTED. AND WASHING
TON is. SOMEWHAT AROUSED
OVER THE INCIDENT.

WASHINGTON, March Consul
Osborne, at fiavre. reported today that
when the Norwegiaon bark Silius from
New York to IIavrc was torpedOed
without warning in Ilavre roads on the
night of March o. seven Americans
aboard were rescued.
The loss of the Siius was first re-
ported last night from London. Three
members of the crew were reported
lost
State department officials seemed
inclined to view the attack on the
Silius as serious affair
So far dispatches to the state de-
partment have simply said the vessel
was torpedocd without warning.
No mention was made Of the nation
ality of the submarine, and there was
nothing to indicate whether a torpedo
actually was responsible for the sink
ing of the vessel or whether she might
have struck mine. 1t was presumed
however, that the American consul at
llaVre got his information from mem
bers of The crew, some Of whom were
Americans. The department will take
immediate steps TO get positive infor
nation.
If the Silus was torpedoed such an
attack was contrary to the assurances
the United States has secured from the
central powers.
