ONLY ONE WAY TO BEAT THF,
CROOKS.

The suggestion has come to The
World that the most effective way to
defeat the literacy test law at the
August primaries would be for all
voters to refuse to accept the ballots
on the state question The World has
made inquiry upon this matter and
is informed by election officials that
no provision has been made for bal
lots issued but not voted, and that
the rule will be not to count the vote
for or against any of the other ques-
tions except the literacy test law. in
which event If the words FOR TIL
AMFNDM ENT are not SCRATCHED
OUT the ballot will be counted for
the law. 1t is. therefore imperative
for every voter who is opposed TO this
corrupt and vicious method of enact
ing law, whether he favor such
measure or noe. 20 take a pen
ell with him when he goes to vote.
for it is not certain the eleCtio off
cials will provide him with one. and
SCRATCH the words FOR THE
AMENDMENT.
II is the method being used to
adopt the litcracy test law. quite as
much as the vicious provisio MS in it
to prevent an honest election. that

With Social Revolution Near
mt Hand.

ST. THOMAS, d. W, l., July @6.
Nothing is known here officially
concerning the probable purchase Of
the Danish West Indies by the United
states from Denmark. but the news
that negotiations for the transfer of
the islands have virtually been COM
ploted caused no surprise. persistent
rumors of the probable transfer of the
islands having been received of late.
Probably due to the reluctance of
Danish capitalists to invest more
money for improving and maintaining
the islands. conditions daily have been
becoming more unsatisfactory. st.
Thomas is threatened with bank
ruptcy, the harbor trade, its principal
support. being almost dead. St CroiX
IS facing a social revolution. following
agitation by laborers for higher wages
and better living conditions.
Public sentiment in st. Thomas is
divided over ;he question Of the trans
fer of the islands. the lower classes Of
the people being the more desirous
for q change.
St Croix stands to benefit more
than any of the islands by the sale 1t

BUNGL|NG OPERATION
CAUSED GIRLS DEATH
ROY H1NTEIsLlTER HELD WITH
OUT BAIL TO AWAIT ACTION
OF FALL GRAND JURY.
When Body of Miss Elizabeth Rad
cliffc is Examined. Air Bubbles
Arc Found.

OLNEY, ILL.,, July 26.-An explana-
ton of the circumstances to which are
attributed the death of Miss Elizabeth
Radcliffe late Friday night was given
today by II. G.. Morris, states at
torney.
Because of the girls death, Roy
Hinterliter is held without bail to
await action by the November grand
jury.
The death of Miss Radchff. It is
claimed by the states attorney, was
due to bungling attempt to perform
an Illegal operation. Air bubbles, it
is claimed, entered the circulatory
system of the young girl and when
they reached the heart or brain death
must have resulted.
States Attorney Morris today gave
out statement explaining the patho-
logical feature of the case. Stating
that the autopsy showed that the girl
was In delicate condition, the
posecutor added:
There were no exterior marks of
Violence. Three experienced surgeons
found all organs perfectly normal
I'm cutting into the right ventricle
air escaped. The heart was perfectly
healthy. When the surgeons removed
the top of the skull they noticed
bubbles OF air. All blood vessels of
the brain showed air circulation. There
were no structural changes, but on a
test the brain floated in water. There
was no lesion of the lung.
Later it was discovered that a man
threw away an instrument used in an
Illegal operation. 1t was found the
man had boasted of previously using
such instruments"
The prosecutor has letters said to
have been written by Hnterliter to the
girl.

BALTIMORE, July 26.-The Ger
- man submarine liner Deutschland
today was cleared by her commander
Capt. Paul Koenig for Bremen or any
other port in Germany" Any hour
now the vessel may start down Chesa-
peake bay, prepared to make a dash
for the open sea through the Virginia
cal es and the guard of allied war;
ships off the three limit.
Secrecy surrounds the plans OF
Captain Koenig. After securing his
clearance papers at the custom house
he said in reply to questions asked
for the benefit of the Maryland Pi-
lots association. that the exact time
of his departure was indefinite. To-
for pilot. but he can obtain one al
most Immediately at any time he de-
sires.
Ready for Baggage.
Agents of the subsea freighter an
nounced this afternoon that she was
ready for the return voyage to Ger
many. This information was conveyed
to the custom house and the office OF
the clearance clerk was kept open for
Captain Koenig who arrived shortly
before o'clock with Captain Hinsch
VI lHp 4NOIln btI liner
Neckar. After the usual formalities
the commander of the submarine re-
quested that his manifest which he
had filed. be withheld from publica-
tior for a reasonable time.
Collector Of the Port Ryan COM
municated with the treasury depart
ment at Washington and then in
formed Captain Koenig that his re-
quest would be granted. Consequent
ly the cargo was described officially
as being composed of general mer-
chandise. On his way from the build
ing the little captain tarried long
enogh to shake hands with several Of
ficials who wished him a safe voy-
age.
Many Well Wishes.
I'VE certainly are with you" said
one Of his well wishers, patting him
on the shoulder. Captain Koenig
smiled broadly, nodded his head, said
"I thank you" and then continued on
his way to the pier where the

which met the Deutschland off the
Virginia capes on her arrival and
which has been constantly near here
ever since. pulled away from the pier
late today and went to a nearby coal
pier. where she filled her bunkers.
Directly afterward she returned to
the Deutschland's pier and some
hours later 1t was apparent that she
was maintaining a full head of steam
in her boilers.
This caused the belief in maritime e
circles that the start for the capes
might be made during the night.
All day there was activity aboard
the Deutschland, the engines we're
tested again and again and twice the

NoRFOLK, Va, July 26.-Almost
~ simultaneously with the clear

Deutschland at Baltimore today, the
United States cruiser North Carolina
and three torpedo boat destroyeis, 5,
under orders from Washington to do
neutrality duty. steamed out beyond
cape Henry and took up positions
near the allied cruisers, one of which
paid an unannounced visit to lower
Chesapeake bay Monday night.
Officials under the direction of both
the navy and treasury departments
worked tirelessly today in an effort
to obtain all the details of the visit
of the foreign cruiser to American
waters.
All Investigations brought the in
quisitors back to the original story .,
the affair as told by officers of the
warship Louisiana and the crew of
tho collier Neptune last night. They
had declared unequivocally that they
recognized a strange boat that passed
them in the capes as an English mail

IL was perhaps two miles inside
the capes that the Louisiana dropped
anchor and saw the cruiser, at a dis
tance of about two hundred yards,
carrying man-of-war lights. As is
customary with warships, the Louis
lana asked the unidentified vessel her

Several persons who were on the
Louisiana, including some officers,
declared today they clearly saw gun
ports on the cruiser.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-Aroused
by an official report from the
commander of the battleship Louisi-
ana that mysterious ship purport-
ing to be a British cruiser had passed
into the mouth of Chesapeake bay
early yesterday morning, the navy de-
partment today ordered the armored
cruiscr North Carolina and three de-
stroyers to neutrality duty off Cape
Henry.
Officials maintained unusual Sc
crecy regarding the matter and would

however. that he had been directed
to see that the German merchant
submarine Deutschland, now prepar-
ing for her return trip to Germany,
is not attacked by allied war vessels

American neutrality is not otherwise
violated. Secretary Daniels made
public the following extract from a
report submitted by Rear Admiral
Mclean. commanding the Norfolk
navy yard:

has now developed that voters in at
least twenty of the n counties of the
state will not get any of them at all,
even If there was the very best dis
position to send them out. The sup
ply is short, and there is no time to
have others printed and sent to the
voters. The election ~ next Tuesday.
1t would be a physical impossbility to
get them out.
Lists have been received from the
registrars Of about fifty counties. Sec
ret1ry of State Lyon Is having the
pamphlets addressed and sent out to
the counties that have sent in lists.
The work is slow. as the lists do not
come in regularly nor rapidly. It was
said several days ago that registrars
in some counties said they would no.
send in the lists Campbell Russell
in securing mandamus compelling the
secretary of state to send the pamp~-
lets cut, declared that If any Of the
registrars refused to send in the lists
he would seek mandamus proceedings
compelling them to do 50. There -
no record OF any such proceeding in
any county as yet, There are some
twenty counties, however where the
lists have not reached the secretary
of states office. They are not even
expected now.

ton of copy the printing and finally
the mailing of these pamphlets has
