FIRE DESTROYS
LESLIE HOUSES

LESLIE, Ca, Feb. 28.-Three cotton
seed houses were burned at Leslie soon
after midnight Monday morning.
One of the houses was owned by the
Americus Oil Co., and two by the
Southern Cotton Oil Co. Part of the
loss was ten tons of cotton seed and
sixty sacks of cotton seed meal, owned
by the Richland Oil Co. Other losses
were twenty barrels of lime and sew
oral sacks of cement owned by j. l..

A dozen box cars on the Seaboard
tracks were moved by citizens to stop
tic ravages of the flames.

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-Only two hun

At the offices OF the Peninsula and
Oriental Steamship company, which
owned the Maloja, the names of only
siXty-four passengers rescued had been
received this morning, out of total
Of one hundred and nineteen passen-
gers Of all classes known to have been
OF board the destroyer liner. 1t was
stated. however, that names OF others
will be received before nightfull. Of
ficers of the steamship company are
exerting every effort to secure a
complete list of survivors, and num-
erous inquiries for the safety of reIa-
tives and friends have been received.
Early today a searching party re-
covered the bodies of three of he
Lascar crew of the Maloja, which had
been washed ashore since the vessel
went down. This brings the total of
bodies recovered up to forty-seven.
This number, it is believed, will be con-
siderably increased as a result of to-
days search. The commercial piers
at Dover were lined this morning with
relatives of missing persons, anxious
to gain even meagre bits Of informa-
ton as to their fate.

GERMANY BACKS
UP STATEMENTS
UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 2S.-In
note presented to Secretary Lansing
today by Ambassador Bernstorff, Ger
many assures the United States it has
10 intention of revoking previous
assurances not to attack lineds,
given In the Lusitania case The note
was in response to American inquiries
concerning the status of these pledges.
In reassuring the United States as
to pledges already given, the Berlin
government says it can conceive Of no
reason for either changing the nature
or postponing the effective date Of new
instructions to submarine commanders
regarding armed merchant ships fly
ing enemy flags. These instructions,
as previously announced, include the
sinking without warning of such ships
as are "defensively" armed, and are
to become effective March 1st.
Today's note expressly states that
special precautions are to be observ-
cd by German naval commanders to
prevent attacks on ships not carrying
arms, and that such ships will not be
sunk, except in instances where it
may be possible for submarine com
manders to do so after permitting
passengers on board to escape.

low the mark set the previous month,
the total being $685. ,533, 1903 as compar-
ed with 52,S00,0OO for December. As

Leg Cut Off
Without Any
Sleeping Dose

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb, 2S.-John Muir
ray, of Bakersville, an aged and well
known known Georgian, when recently
compelled to submit to the amputation
of his foot, insisted on having it sew
cred without the aid of any anesthetic.
Tie old man gritted his teeth and
watched the doctors as they cut
through flesh and bone as they used
t. in the old days before the discov-
cry OF ether.
The operation was entirely success
ful, and Mr.. Murray recovered but a
few days afterward began to have ex-
cruciating pains which seemed to be
localized beyond the end Of the sew
cred limb Just where the foot used to
be. The ampntated foot was dug up,
carefully Strengthened out, drapped In
cotton and re-buried, with the result
that Mr. Murray is now resting In per-
feet comfort. w. H. Walton and
prominent citizens Of Athens vouch
for the truth Of the above facts.

TEUTONS CAUGHT
BETWEEN ALL FIRE
Fearful Loss OF
Life In Fight
For Verdun

The Verdun battle continued with
unabated fury today, entering upon its
second week. The Germans continue
driving hard at the French defenses,
and the line now runs far beyond the
salient in which the fortresses lie.
Paris asserts the German advance
has been checked, while Berlin de-
spatches says the German forward
movement continues. German prog
ress along the Muese, is admittedly
slower than heretofore, while the
French appear to be Offering effective
resistance along the whole of the
Woevre front.
French defensive operations have
now taken the form of a counter often
sive, this being indicated in the attacks
on Fort Dounamont, now in German
possession. This development creates
little surprise, having been forecost in
recent Paris dispatches. The Ger
mans have been driven back over the
ground yielded by the French accord
ingto a statement issued by Premier
Briande today. This occurred, the pre-
mier states, during the fourth day of
the battle Premier Briande claims
the French now have the advantage,
but this assertion does not agree with
Rerlin announcements
Berlin official statements announce
further Teuton advances including the
taking of Hardoumont, east of Douau-
mont, and Champneuville village.
French counter attacks against Fort
Dcuaumont have failed, according to
the Germans. Berlin advices also
claim the capture of Navarin farm in
Champagne, with about sixteen hun
dred metres of French positions ond
both sides. One thousand prisoners
were taken by the Teutons when the
French line broke at this point. Paris
admits the Germans penetrated the
French position in the vicinity of Nav
arin farm.

FEDERAL TRADE
Commission HAS
REPORT ON LINES

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 2S.-A
charge that petroleum pipe line COM
panies of the mid-continent field,
through high tariffs and unreasonable
shipping requirements, have excluded
Independent shippers from their lines
was made today by the Federal Trade
commission in its report to the senate
on special Investigation of the busi-
hess.
If the five systems that control the
mid-continent pipe lines charged their
own refineries for carrying oil at the
rate they offer to carry it for the inde-
Tendents, the report declares, their an
nual net earnings should show a Alb
per cent profit on their pipe line in
Westments. Asit is they are declared
to earn more than 10 per cent.
The investigation was ordered by the
last congress, which later directed an
Interstate Commerce commission in
quiry. To avoid duplication the Trade
commission confined it's work to t he
nlid-continent field, while the Com
merce commission turned it's attention
to systems operating in the east.
The commission summarizes it's find
frgs in this language:
They dominant position of the mid
continent field makes the facts devel-
oped in this report of vital Importance
to the entire country.
"The fixed investment in pipe lines
is extensive and corresponds closely
with the actual cost of such prop
erty.
Pipe line construction in the mid
continent field has followed, instead of
preceded, crude oil production, and
such investment is comparatively Sc
sure.
There is large difference be-
tween the cost of pipe line transporta-
zion, which is very low, and pipe line
tariff rates, while the independent
shippers cannot use railroads because
their rates are still higher.
THE pipe line companies require
large minimum shipments, which
makes it impractical for small produc-
ers or refiners to ship crude oil by
pipe line.
"The price of crude oil delivered at
tie refineries is to large extent made
slp of the transportation charge
"The cost of pipe line construction is
10 great that small concerns can not
build lines from the mid-continent field
| to the large consuming and distrfbut-
| ing markets.
Lower pipe line rates and smaller
minimum shipments are necessary to
enable small concerns to compete with
large refineries affiliated with pipe line
companies.
Reasonable and equitable condi-
tions of shipment by pipe line would
tend to a greater equality in the prices
of mid-continent and Appalachian
crude oil and in the prices of refined
products in different markets"
OF the five large systems operating
In the field, the commission found that
two belong to the Standard Oil COM
pany, that a third is controlled by the
Standard Oil capitalists. The Stand
ard Oil lines are given as the Prairie,
running northeast to Illinois and In
diana; the Oklahoma-Louisian run
hing southeast to Baton Rouge, and
the Magnolia, running south to Texas
points. The others are the Gulf and
'exas systems.
