WORk IF YEAR
 IN ONE OFFICE
Report of County Recorder Vaughn With a Statement of His Belief That Pro fits of Office Would War rant a Fee Reduction

Vernon l.. Vaughn. recorder of Mar Icopa county will submit his annual report to the board of supervisors to- morrow A resume of the amount of business transacted will be of inter est to the taxpayers or the county. lis report follows;
 "While the business of this office for the year just past has not been as heavy as l should have liked % see it. yet in all it is gratifying to know tha- for the last half of 1915 the business has been steadily on the in crease. over and above the business done during the corresponding months of 1914, and for the entire year of 1915 the showing of the business done IS better than for the year 1914.
 The cash receipts for the two years are practically the same. while the number of instruments filed in 1915 exceeds the filings of the previous year by 421.
 The general impression seems to be that the increase of the business in the office is due to a decrease in deeds filed and an increase of mortgages and other membranes being re- corded. That is not the case, it will be seen by reference to the tables giV- en above that the number of deeds recorded in 1915 was only IF less in 1914, while on the other hand there was a corresponding falling off in the number of mortgages filed. being III less than in 1914. It also shows that in 1915 there were 92 more releases of mortgages filed, and 421 more re leases of mortgages made on the mar gin of the records than in the previous year.
 My reports show that while the work during 1915 was somewhat more than in 1914, the force in the office averaged one less. The explanation is that in 1914 there was a general reg istration of all electors which at times required the assistance of a portion or all :he office force, making u necessary to have extra help tN handle the regular work.
 From a monetary standpoint the net profits of the office for 1915 is most gratifying, being practically 50 per cent of the gross receipts-which. l believe. is sufficient reason for me to reiteratc the recommendation made by me iE my report for the year 1913, l. c-that the fees of this office are too high that the office should not he operated for the purpose of profit to the county; that the recording fees could and should be reduced 40 or 50 per cent. and still be ample to meet all necessary expenses of the office

The President At DeS MOines
When He Appealed For
Support.
WANTED PEACE WITH HONOR
President Wilson Asks People
What They Would Have
Him Do.

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 2.-President
Wilson, in addressing the largest au-
dience of his present trip, in which he
is advocating preparedness, here last
night asked this question: do you
want the situation to be such that all
the President can do is to write mes
sages and utter words of protest."
"Why, to ask that question is to an
swer," he said.
when international law is violated
by one or the other of the belliger-
ents," the President said, America
was called upon to register voice of
protest, of insistence.
"Do you want the situation to be
such that all the President can do is
to write messages and utter words of
protest? If these breaches of inter-
national law, which are in daily dam
ger of occurring, should touch the
very honor of the United States, do
you wish to do nothing about? Do
you wish to have all the world say
that the flag of the United States can
be stained with IMMUNITY? Why, to
ask the question is to answer it.
81 know there is not a man or wo.
man within the hearing of my voice
who would wish peace at the expense
of the honor of the United States"
The Presidents address was pune
tuated with thunderous applause.

Berlin reports that all the. aTshipss
returned safely to their base, in spite
of the heavy fire directed on them
from all points, none of them having
been hit
Berlin asserts that at Liverpool,
Birkenhead and Manchester and along
the Humber docks, blast furnace and
factories were attacked, heavy explO-
sions and serious fires resulting On
the Humber a battery was sileneed.
Except for a German infantry at

checked by a fusilade Of hand gre
nades thrown by the French, artillery
duels and bombardmentS have pre-
dominated on the western front.
! A single infantry attack near Monte
Rombon, where the Italians repulsed
the Austrians, is the most important
operation aside from the usual artill-
cry actions reported from the Austro-
Italian front.
From Riga to the Stripa river there
have been several infantry engage
ments in which the AuStro-Germans
were worsted by the Russians, ac-
cording to Petrograd, but the fighting
on this front also has been mostly by
the big guns.
In the Caucasus, around Lake Tor

declared to be still pursuing the
Turks.

nounce that satisfactory progress Is

Vessel Given Up for Lost
Reaches Port With German
Prize Crew Aboard.
LINER In AMERICAN WATERS
Startling Story Told by Captain
Of British Passenger Sinks
Seven Ships.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 2.-Give up for
lost days ago, the British passenger
liner Appam, plying in the West At
rican trade, appeared like an appari-
ton in Hampton Roads yesterday,
flying the German naval ensign and
with her ships company under guard
of a German prize crew. She
brought word of a mysterious Ger
man commerce raider, the Moewe,
which now roams the seas, and had
on board the crews of seven British
merchantmen and admiralty trans
ports captured by the Moewe before
she seized the Appamand started her
across the Atlantic for an American
port with Lieut.. Hans Berge Of the
German naval reserve, and twenty
two men in charge.
According to the story told with
great reserve by Lieutenant Berge to
Collector Hamilton when he formally
reported his presence in American
territorial waters the Moewe captured
the Appam, bound from Dakar, Brit
ish West Africa, for Liverpool after a
brief show of resistance on January
16, sixty miles-Herth of the Madeira
Islands. On board the Moewe, then
were the crews of five vessels, previ-
ously captured, all of whom were
transferred to the Appam.
These ships were Clan Mac lavish,
sank Jan. II with a loss of Is men,;
Farringford sank Jan. 10; Corbridge
captured and converted into collier
with 5000 tons of coal Jan. 10; Dro-
mondy transport Jan. Is. The Au-
thor, Trader and Ariadne, steamers
loaded with sugar, wheat and other
cargoes also met and sunk. All
of their crews are aboard the Appam.
On board the Appam all told are
452 persons-the prize crew OF ~;
twenty German, civilians who were
on their way 10 England for intern
ment; 1888 seamen captured with the
British ships; 1l6 passengers and the
Appam's crew of 1855.
Lieut.. Berge claims the Appam is a
prize of war, but government officials
have not yet accepted this view.
She had one mounted rifle aboard
when captured, but this was removed
by the Moewe and there were no
guns aboard when she reached port
except small arms carried by the prize
crew.
No one knows where the MOewe
came from, except the prize crew
aboard the Appam, nor where she
went after the battle with the Clan
McTavish. Apparently all of the
operations revealed by the arrival OF
the Appam took place in the vicinity
of the Canary islands.

Whereas, under an ordinance

heavy license tax was imposed upon
the buyers and other handlers of to-
bacco doing business in the city of
Hopkinsville,
"And whereas, we regard this IL
cense tax unfair, discriminatory
against a business that has contributed
more than its full share to the general
prosperity Of the town, and inimical
to the concentration Of the sale of to-
bacco IN this market,
"And whereas, competitive points
ARE Offering inducements instead Of
/ putting obstacles in the way Of build
ing up their markets,
"And whereas, there is not a me-
chant manufacturer or anyone else
engaged in any occupation in the town
that is not benefited to a more or less
extent by the money we distribute ~
the producer and the wage Garner.
'Be it resolved, that committee
of five members be appointed, with
the president of this board as It's chair
man to appear before the Honorable
Board of Commissioners Of the City
and present to said Board our reasons
for petitoning for the repeal Of this
burden upon our trade, not only from
the standpoint of common justice, but
also as matter Of public policy"

under advisement.
