DRUG RAID CATCHES WOMEN
SOCIAL LEADERS OF BOSTON

BOSTON, Nass.-ln a sensational
raid on several houses in the fashion
able Back Bay district recently, the
police took into custody % women,
all declared to be residents of that
colony No charges we're made
against the women, but it was alleged
by the authorities that they were OBJ
tanning narcotic drugs.
Dr. Elliott ID. Robbins, dean OF the
Boston School of Anatomy and EN-
balming, was arrested on charge of
illegally dispensing drugs. The names
of the women held were not divuIged
by the police.
Scenes of the widest confusion fol-
lowed when the police broke into the
house. Many fashionably gowned wo-
men tainted and some of them tried
to flee through the streets.

piegne. includes contributions from
every branch OF the service.
Pictures in oils and water colors.
cofored erayons and pencil, charcoal
and burnt wood are displayed side by
side With statuettes carved out OF
chalk or soft stone or modelled in
plaster colored TO represent nature.
Metal objects made of shell cases,
hammered in beautiful designs TO form

tiers OF steel shells made into paper
weights and ink-stands, rifle cartridg-

holders, paper cutters, thimbles and
other useful things, fuses made into
finger and napkin rings, fancy work
baskets fashioned out of the hong
wicker cases in which loaded projec-
tiles for the big guns are conveyed to
the firing line-all give evidence that
art goes together with war.
Pictures Show Power
Many of the pictures exhibit a
strength which can never be found in
any academical SALON. They all rep
resent objects OF actuality as seen by
the men themselves and reproduced
in such a way as to bring home to
these who see them the conditions I'M
der which the soldiers live in face OF
the enemy There is no idealism or
fantasy in the mems work-all is real
ism This. however, does not prevent
many of the artists from portraying
humor in its broadcast sense, for the
soldier in the field is very keen on the
comic side, and some of the carica-
lures are excellent
Few people have had the oppoftu-
nifty Of seeing the exposition, owing to
the difficulty of reaching Compiegne
under the restrictions of war time,
but arrangements have been made for
the transfer of the collection to Paris
and possibly later to America. 1t is
PROBABLE that the work of the soldiers
of other French armies will be Joined
together with this exhibit.
Seek Small Compensation
The soldier-artists are content with
very small recompense for their
works. They have given them up in
order to provide themselves with a
few small comforts during the coming
winter, on condition that purchasers
make a contribution towards the as
sistance of their wounded and invalid
comrades.
There are works by winners of the
Prize of Rome of the French Academy
who were modified while pursuing
their studies, and some of these in
later years may come to be regarded
as masterpieces.

The Wrecked .E-2.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 15-This is
second catastrophe with United States
submarines which has occurred in the
last year as the F-4 was destroyed
while diving in the harbor at Homo
lulu, Hawaiian Islands.
Facts concerning the submarines of
the United States, and all governments
fc rthat matter, are strictly withheld
and it is impossible to gain much in
sight into the E-2.
Rear Admiral Nathaniel R. Usher is
the commandant of the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, and no information can be
secured from him as to the destruc-
tion of the E-2.
New York is the home station for
many submarines, and they form a
beautiful sight laying in the harbor
CT the Navy Yard.
An immediate investigation of the
explosion has been ordered by the
Navy Department, which refuses now
TO give any details of the accident. 1t
is probable that a strict secrecy will
be maintained over all the investiga-
tions, especially if it is true as report
ed that engineers were testing the
new batteries that are made by Thom-
as A. Edison.
Following the fate fthe, F-4, Mr.
Edison began work on a form of bat

PUSH CAMPAIGN IS
WORK BO0STERS

With the beginning of the new year,
the Amricus and Sumter County Cham
Der of Commerce is carrying out its
aggressive policy for the building up
Of Americus. President Carr S. GLOW
-er and Secretary Manager Lyman had
a conference along these lines, and it
has been decided that each member
Of the Chamber of Commerce will be
Laced upon the Committees for 1916.
Letters will he sent out next week
with a list of the committees and
each member is expected to select
first, second and third choice of which
committee he would rather work upon.
The members are expected to return
the slips thus checked, when Presi-
dent Glover will make up the list for
1916.
1t is also planned to have several
social gatherings in the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce from now until
spring and then if they have been sue
Cessful, summer entertainments will
be provided each month for the mem
bership.
If the members of the Chamber of
Commerce will cooperate as well in
1916, as they have in 1915, the citizens
OF this city can look for one of the
best years in its history. Starting
with the Elk's Convention in April.
there will be one round of hurrah
kept up until the closing of the Third
District Fair in October and the
Christmas Celebration is pulled off.
Thousands of people from the SUI
rounding country will come to Ameri-
Gus and trade if plans that the Retail
Merchants Department are successful
This department will have a social
effair next week President T. Cleve
Iillman will set the date.

LARGE NUMBER Of
INJURED REPORTED
Report Says Test
Being Made of
Edison Battery

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 15.-The
United States submarine E-2 blew up
and was partly destroyed Saturday
afternoon in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The body of one man who was
killed has been recovered, and n
statement from the Brooklyn police
says that they heard seven others are
dead
A report from the Navy Yard said
that thirty-two men were injured, and
twelve seriously.
The cause of the internal explosion
has not been determined, and the de-
tails of the incident are refused.
The fumes of gas escaping from the
wrecked under-sea boat baked the
work of rescuers. Several officers
were lowered into the vessel and
pulled out unconscious.
1t is reported that the engineers
were testing the new Edison batteries.

j, 5. SUBMARINE E2.
EXPL0DES and KILLS
AT n. Y. NAVY YARD
No SUBSCRIPTION
YET MADE FOR NEW
RAILROAD IN HERE.

Because of the prevalence of a
rumor that a large sum of money has
been subscribed to the new railroad,
several business men closely connect
ed with the enterprise have requested
the Tims-Recorder to correct the
impression as to any sum having been
raised or subscribed.
Not one cent has been subscribed in
Americus towards the construction of
the proposed Americas, Hawkinsville
ard Eastern Railroad, although body
OF business men have been carefully
considering the amount which could
probably be raised.
A meeting of several prominent bus
mess men was held in the offices of
the Chamber of Commerce Friday
morning, but because of no definite
action they did not care to annousce
the plans which are being formulated
for the construction of the new rail-
road.
Several large sums will likely be
subscribed by prominent business men
of Americus, but all action which has
been taken has been tentative, and
has not assumed such form as the
business men would prefer before
the announcement was made.
The people of Americus see the
vast benefits to be derived from the
construction of the railroad, and the
many reasons why it should be built
to Americus and not allowed to stop
where it is proposed.
The body of business men from the
Chamber Of Commerce are carefully
looking into all plans, and it is ex-
pected that an important announce
ment will be made in a short time
concerning the amount which is defin-
itely known to be subscribed.

FAIR COMMITTEE TO
MEET ON PLANS FOR
THIRD DISTRICT FAIR
CITIZENS To MEET
IN INTEREST NEW
AMER|CUS DEPOTS

The committee appointed by Presi-
dent Carr S. Glover to act IN the new
terminal station matter composed of
the following citizens, Frank Lanier,
Chairman, r. l.. McMath, Frank Shelf
field, Lee G.. Council, w. M. Jones, Geo.
r. Ellis, j. w. Harris, Jr., John Shelf
field, ]. Elmore Poole and Secretary
Manager Hyman, have been called to
meet at the Chamber of Commerce
Tuesday afternoon, January 18th, at
i o'clock for the purpose of consider
Jig plans for an active campaign to
secure for Americus the right kind of
passenger station, with ample facil-
tiles to take care of the travelling pub
lie.
The depots of both the Central of
Georgia Railway and the Seaboard
Air Line Railway were built some
years ago. when the city of Americus
was a much smaller town and at that
time they were all that was desired
and could accommodate the travelling
public. Since that time the city has
steadily grown, until visit at either
of the stations will show that they
are entirely too small for the great
amount of travel over the roads.
Many smaller towns than Americus
have stations that are an honor to
city several times as large as Amer
iCus. The only reason that can be
conceived for this city not having am
pie facilities for handling the vast
amount of travel here, is that the new
stations have never been asked for.
The Chamber of Commerce is going
to stick on the job until they can see
new and modern depots take the place
of the make-shifts that now adorn
Americas.

SEABOARD WILL.
HELP SERVICE
BUT NOT HERE.

An interesting article has put the
people Of Americus to thinking.
The Richland News of this week
contained a featured news article
Loaded Double Passenger Service
Between Columbus and Albany May
Be Put On"
The body of the article stated "as
we go to press, Supt. league, Divis-
ion Passenger Agent Small and sew
eral other prominent officials of the
Seaboard are in the city investigating
tie installation of another passenger
train between Columbus and Albany,
thus giving Richland double daily
service to and from the two cities.
The plans are being favorably consid-
cred and it is now quite probable that
service will be put on within the
EeXt few days"
The first information as to the new
train was given through the Richland
paper, and Manager E. H.
Hyman, of the Chamber Of Com
merce, was first informed of it Satur-
day afternoon by a Times Recorder
representative
1t will be remembered that the
Seaboard Air Line curtailed their
passenger train service through Am
ericus last year, and have not restor-
ed it despite promises said to have
been made.
The people of Americas believe that
business conditions have been suffic-
iently restored to warrant the restora-
tion of the train schedules on the
Seaboard.
1t is likely that the Chamber of
Commerce will take some immediate
action on the proposed new trains be-
tween Columbus and Albany, which
would cut Americus off from any ser
vice excepting what she is now re-
Ceiving.
Several months ago it was an
nounced that the Chamber of Com
merce had taken up the service with
tie Seaboard officials and would
appeal to the Railroad Commission,
but nothing further can be learned of
the status of the question
Surely Americus needs trains if
service is to be bettered all around
US.

1t is not known which case will be

such matters where more than one

to try the one on whose case the pros
