800 ARE LOST
IN COLLISION
Only One Survivor as Two
Boats Went Down in
Irish Channel
THE CONNEMARA
AND RETRIEVER
Company Unable to State if
Any Americans Were
Aboard

London, Nov. 4.-The London & North
western Railway Co.'S steamship Come
mara from Greemore for 'Holyhead, with
passengers, collided with the steamship
Retriever in the Irish channel last night.
Both vessels sank and as far as known
there is only one survivor from both
ships. 1t is believed that about 900 peo-
pie were lost.
The company was unable to state
whether any Americans were aboard the
Connemara. The ships of that company
seldom carry saloon passengers.
A Lloyds despatch from Belfast says
the collision occurred off Carlingfordlough
inlet on the Irish coast between the
counties OF Down and Louth. The Re-
triever was inward bound. A few bodies
have been washed ashore on the county
Down coast.
The marine superintendent of the Lon.
don & Northwestern said that as far as
he knew there were only so passengers
on the Connemara, and the crew num-
bered 81.

rine and Then Tried to Sink Row
boat with the Only Sur
vivors.

Berlin, via wireless Nov. 4-The Ger
man admiralty has furnished the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent the details of
what is characterized as a second Bara
long case, in which a British patrol ship,
flying the American colors, it is declared,
after destroying the submarine U-4l, de-
liberately ran down a rowboat with only
two survivors of the undersea boat, in an
endeavor to remove the only witnesses,
and has since prevented the intended VIC
tins, who were almost miracuously
saved, from communicating the news to
their own government.
This incident. according to the admir-
atty, occurred Sept "a. 1915, and has only
just been learned through an invalid
prisoner transferred to Switzerland.

JAILED HIMSELF
After Eluding Montpelier Deputy Sheriff
in Burlington.

Burlington, Nov 4.--Willis Foley of
Moretown, who, with Adolph Malnati,
was being taken from the Washington
county Jail in Montpelier to the house of
correction, put over what is probably one
of the meanest tricks which could r.
played upon an officer yesterday morning,
when he lost his keeper completely and
then, while he was being sought in this
city, took the train to Rutland and ar
rived at the house of correction lust
about four hours before Deputy, Sheriff
Fred Benoit, who was supposed to have
delivered him up, arrived with his re.
naming prisoner. 1t is reported Foley
thought it joke, but it is very doubtful
if Mr.. Benoit can see anything funny in
the days happening.
Mr.. Benoit left Mont nelier yesterday
morning with the two prisoners, both of
whom he was to have delivered at the
house of correction. He came to this
city from Essex Juction on an electric
car and Foley asked for drink. This
request was, of course, denied A minute
later Foley said that he was short on col
lar buttons and was given permission to
go into local drug store TO obtain some.
That is the last the officer saw of him,
for Foley did not make exit by the same
door at which he entered Mr.. Benoit
secuted about bit, but was unable to
locate his man. He took Malnati to the
Jail for safe keeping and then started in
to make a systematic search for the
missing prisoner. He had to change his
plan of taking the II :55 train to Rutland
and had decided TO take Malnati down on
the 8 40 train in the afternoon and come
back to search for the other prisoner,
when a telephone message was received
at local police headquarters stating that
Foley had arrived at the workhouse, told
who he was, that he had missed his
party when he went down to the ll:55
train, had paid his own fare, the officer
having the tickets, and was ready to be-
yin on his time. Mr.. Benoit took the |
other man down on the $40 train.

Russell and Center, former pike ~oad
commissioners, have brought mandamus
proceedings against the chairman OF the
county court to compel him to issue them
a county warrant for what they claim is
due them. The people are watching tie
chairman in this case. Most everyone
wants this case tried on its merits and If
there is anything due they should get it
TT ey should not be afraid to let the court
go into its merits.
L. W. Hilderbrand is being urged to make
the race for tax assessor on the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Chas. E. Taylor is being urged TO make
the race ior trustee on the Republican
ticket.
1t was charged as great crime for the
old pike commission to divide up the
the county; but the present one boldly lets
it be known that they have divided it and
there is no kick coming. Why?
Andrew Beck, our blacksmith, is talk
ing of running for tax assessor, subject to
the Republican party.
M. S. Waldropt is being slated foe tax
assessor by the Democratic bosses for his
services in holding things together in the
recent shake-up.

the announcement of Chas. E. Taylor, who
aspires to be Trustee of Polk county.
Mr.. Taylor is too we'll known for for us
to attempt to set forth his qualifications at
any length, but we can speak of his close
attention to business entrusted to his care
and the fidelity with which he serves those
who deal with him.
Should he be our next Trustee, he will
serve the people with the same courtesy
and faithfulness that have made him so
popular with the patrons Of the Ducktown
Banking Co.
We bespeak for him careful considera-
ton at the hands of the convention.
]. r. Rice. of Ocoee, wants to be Tax
Assessor of Polk county and his announce
mel will be found in another column.

to fill this office. He is man of unusual
intelligence and his wide acquaintance
throughout the county would serve him
we'll. He has been prominent in educa-
tional circles and enjoys the confidence OF
numberless friends:
He is entitled to every consideration at
the hands of the convention and this We
earnestly bespeak for him.

PACKAGE DAY.

Hats off 10 the Campfire Girls and Boy
Scouts in their successful campaign, last
week to relieve the necessities of the poor
in this vicinity.
A noble effort and worthy cause, these
young people are worthy TO be classed as
Soldiers of the Cross, and they will always
be remembered with reverence in the
homes to which they brought JOY and COM
fort
The movement was started last week by
the announcement that on Friday afternoon
the Camp Fire Girls and Boy Scouts would
canvass our town for any donations that
our citizens were disposed to make. Every
thing would be acceptable and nobody was
barred from contributing TO the cause and
right royal was the responses.
Twenty large baskets of eatables were
contributed and $l.55 in money was do
dated. Eight families in Ducktown' Pos
teIe and Chancytown were visited and
each were given provisions enough Tor
several days.
Prizes were offered to the girls and boys
for the best filled basket turned in and for
for the largest amount of money secured.
Miss Edith Marchant turned in the best
basket and Jim Davis and Booster tortnar
got the prize for getting the largest amount
of money.
When it is remembered that "the poor
we have with us always" it is worth more
than passing mention that we have two
organizations consecrated to the work OF
ministering to the sick and needy. Under
the leadership of Mrs. Eula Fry and T. Z.
Suttles, these organizations are dong
grand work and their future efforts along
this line should meet with cooperation OF
everv citizen who can be reached.
The Boy Scout anniversary was cele-
brated at the Y. M. C. A., last Friday night,
by banquet, to which the Camp Fire
Girls were invited.
Speeches were made by W. S. Vaughan
and Rev. A. S. Ulm to which the strictest
attention was given by the Scouts and their
guests.
After strenuous day spent in doing
good, it was fitting ending of another
wear in the life of the Boy Scouts; and
when they turn back and scan the pages
of the past, may the good deeds found
stimulate them to greater efforts in the fu-
ture.
