SINKING OF THE ARABIA
ADMITTED BY GERMANY
u. S. Officials Are Surprised
by Semi-0ffiCiaI Statement
From Berlin
(By Assoc ated Press,

WASHINGTON, Nov. -21.-Announce-
ment by the semi-official Overseas News
agency that q German submarine sank
the British liner Arabia made a deep
impression in official quarters here, and
apparently removed all possibility that
this case might take its place with that
of the Persia. sunk in the Mediterra-
mean long ago and never cleared up.
The British admiralty said the Persia
was torpedoed without warning, but
none of the central powers would admit
responsibility for it.
officials were loath to discuss the
matter in the absence Of official infor-
nation, which, il is understood, is being
sought from all sources Some Of Them
expressed surprise, however, that the
attack upon the Arabia had been semi
officially admitted. IL was suggested
that the Overseas dispatch might mean
that Germany was preparing to make a
test of the armed ship controversy
with the United States. or that in some
way a minor official, hostile to Chancel-
lor Won Bethmann 1Honweg's subma-
rine policy, might have allowed the
dispatch to get out. seeing in il an OPP
portunity TO force the issue. 1t has
been known here for some time that
Germany would make a bitter fight
against the defensive arming of mer.

The contention that the Arabia was

So far as can be learned the depart

its request for Germany's version of

BIZ MARY BOYLE orErLLx.

LONDON, Nov. 25.--"I must bide con-

old mother from Duntochar as she sat in
King Georges hospital stroking her sick
sons hand.
Corporal Scott MacalliSter, one shat
tered leg tied into a surgical cradle. tried
bravely to smile. 1t is not the Scotch
way to say much. but all the ward knew
that the frau little mother from Dunto-
char had given seven sons to the war.

Corporal Macallister; "it seems she just

Then war came, and we knew we all

she loved it so. But before We would

SET ASIDE IN
MURRAY COUNTY CASES
State Supreme Court Decides
Two More Cases Growing
Out of Controversy

Two more cases growing out OF the
Murray county court house controversy
were decided by the state supreme court
Thursday afternoon. and in both the
judgment of Judge A. w. F'ite, Of the
Cherokee circuit, was set aside.
The first of these cases was tina;
brought by ]. NJ Campbell, ordinary Of
Murray county against D. r. Dunn, j
McGhee and I. NJ. Hemphill, county
commissioners, and Jesse M. Sellers
clerk to the county board. Ordinary
Campbell applied for and obtained from
Judge Fite a mandamus absolute tC
compel these officials to turn over tc
him the books, records, vouchers, etc.
in their offices. 's
In his petition FOR q writ Of nlalf-
damus Ordinary Campbell alleged that
the general assembly on August IA.
1916, had passed an act abolishing the
board of county commissioners, provid-
ing such an act was ratified by the vot-
ers Of the county. He stated that in an
election held on September 70, 1916, the
voters had ratified the act.
When n hearing was held before
Judge Fite the respondents demurred
and answered that no demand had ever
been made upon them for the books.
They asked for the right to submit the
facts to a jury. Judge .Fite, however
heard the evidence and Issued the
mandamus, whereupon the county COM
missfoners and their clerk appealed.
WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
In reversing Judge Fife in this case
the supreme court held that under the
answer of the respondents, denying that
for the books, etc, and the pleadings
and evidence upon the hearing before
the showing that this was q disputed
question of fact, and not showing con-
clusively that demand was unnecessary,
the judge was without AUTHORITY, in va
cation, TO grant, mandamuS absolute.
In the other case the supreme court
directed that Judge Fife vacate his
order holding D. r. Dunn and j. NJ.
Sellers in contempt for failing to com
ply with the writ of mandamus and
turn over the books. The court held
that the judgment in the mandainus
case having been reversed, that in the
contempt case should not be allowed to
stand.
The remaining members Of sthe board
IL county commissioners had signified
TO Judge Fite their willingness to COM
ply with his order and turn over the
books. Judge Fite had ordered that
Dunn and Sellers pay a fine Of $500 or
go TO Jail
1t was something over a year ago that
the Murray county litigation began. The
county commissioners insisted on locat-
ing the new court house in Chattsworth
on site which certain citizens of the
county disapproved, and they disre-
garded an injunction by Judge F1te
which at that, time resulted in their
being held in contempt and put in Jail
for several days.

S. s. STEVENS WOUNDED
IN DUEL WITH BURGLAR
Son of Atlanta Attorney Shot
at Warehouse by Ma
rauder-Latter Killed

EASTMAN, Ca, Nov. 24.-While at
tempting to burglarize the cOmmissary
at the Eastman Cotton Mills this morn
ing shortly after one o'clock, Reppard
Adams, a young white man nineteen
years of age. was shot and instantly
killed by Sidney 5. Stevens, Il promi-
nent young man of this city, VINO is as
sistant superintendent at the cotton
mills and son of George n. X. Stevens,
a well known Atlanta attorney Mr..
Stevens himself received wounds il is
feared may prove fatal.
For some days the management Of
the mills had noticed the fact that
the store had been entered during al
most every night for some time past and
various small articles taken away. but
were unable to discover the means by
which the thief entered and departed,
as, to all appearance, the building would
be intact and in the same condition as
when left by employees on the proceed
ing evenings. In an endeavor to detect
the theft and to Illustrate further at
tempts at burglary Mr.. Stevens and
B. C. Whittle, foreman Of the Eastman
Cotton mills. secreted themselves in
the store building early last night to
await developments.
Shortly after one o'clock this morn
ing Reppard Adams is said to have en-
tered the building, coming in by way
of an outside window. Mr. Stevens
and Mr.. Whittle arose. from their con-
cealment and turned q iiashlight into
the face Of Adams, who Immediately
opened fire with pistol which he was
holding in his right hand. The first
bullet from Adams revolver struck Mr.
Stevens in the left side just below. the
heart inflicting what may prove to be q
fatal wound. Adams fire was returned
by Mr.. Stevens. the former receiving
wound in the left side of his head
which resulted in instant death. Mr.
Whittle who was with Mr.. Stevens es-
capped uninjured.
Following the tragedy Mr.. Stevens
was carried to the home of his mother,
in-law, Mrs. L. NJ Peacock, ST.. His
wound is quite serious and attending
physicians hold out but little hope fol-
his recovery
Mr. Stevens rs one of the most prom.

TAX FRAUD FOUND
IN INTERNAL REVENUE
Evaded Taxes Amounting to
S22,509,576 Have Been
Collected as Result

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-Internd
revenue frauds AMOUNTING to more tnan
a billion dollars have been unearthed oy
the present administration of the United
States treasury, according to state
ment of W. II. Osborn, commissioners OF
internal revenue! AS result: eVaoeu
taxes amounting to $22,5O9.576 have
been collected-more than enough to pay
the entire cost of administering the in
come tax and all the internal revenue
laws.
Attempts by corporations alone TO
evade taxes, under the corporation and
income tax laws, amounting to S11.S26,-
125 were discovered. Many of the
frauds extended over a long period Of
years. some dating back to 1909.
Persona. evasions of income taxes
amounting to $5,OO6,696 have likewise
been detected.
Oleomargarine frauds amounting to
more than S27,O0O.OO were brought to
light; but the statute Of limitations
barred assessment on all but s5,16S.166.
the remainder being collectible only by
suit.
From frauds and evasions OF distilled
spirits, tobacco and miscellaneous taxes,
S4,241.555 were paid into the treasury.
These frauds and evasions existed
unchecked and undiscovered during the
twelve years or more preceding the pres
ent administration" Commissioner Os-
born claims
These enormous frauds are merely
surface indications of the situation that
would be revealed if the light could be
turned into all the dark corners of the
internal revenue system. Large scale
evasions on the taxes on whisky, beer,
tobacco and oleomargarine- are practi-
cally impossible without collision on the
part of revenue officials; but the income
and corporation taxes, which, under the
existing system of secrecy, depend
largely upon the honesty of the tax
payer. can be evaded with relatively
little fear of detection.
This report of Commissioner Osborn
Is conclusive evidence Of the necessity
tor complete publicity regarding all fed
erals taxes. Take the oleomargarine
frauds for example, which amounted to
more than $4,000, 900. If the records of
the taxes paid by each oleo manufac-
turer had had due publicity. any attempt
at fraud would have been revealed
almost as soon as it started. other
manufacturers, familiar with the opera
tions of their competitors, would have
put the revenue officials wise imme-
diately.
