3. G. A. FOR BURNING OF
SAWMILL.

The entire day was consumed in
the city court yesterday in the trial of
the case of Parker & TAFT VS.. the
A., B. & A. railroad, suit for damages.
The plaintiffs claim that sawmill
was destroyed by fire last May and
that it was caused by spark from a
passing engine of the defendants, and
that the railroad should pay the
amount of damage, totaling $1,818.75.
On the other hand the defendant com
pany denies that the fire was caused
by spark from an engine of its road.
and introduced during the trial Gin
der fender, which, it was claimed,
would not permit the passage of a
spark large enough to cause the fire.
The case was hardfought one, a
number of witnesses being introduced
during the day. The plaintiffs are rep
resented by Judge C. B. Conyers and
Judge A. D. Gale, while Judge Boiling
Whitfield appeared for the railroad
company. The case went to the jury
late yesterday afternoon, and up to
the hour of adjournment no verdict
had been returned.

GERMANYS new
ORDER IS CAUSE
SUBMARINES NOT ATTACK
ING MERCHANTMEN MUST
BE HELD IMMUNE.
ANOTHER DELAY in CASE
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing Were Busy Yest2r-
day Looking Into the New
Situation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-Germany
is prepared to inform the United
States that if passenger liners leaving
American ports with defensive arma-
ment are to be immNue. ,from rahma,
rine attack without warning, as the
German government promised last
September in the Arabic case, the
Berlin government expects some as
surances that the liners will not at
tack the submersibles.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador has an engagement to
confer with Secretary Lansing today
and he is expected to convey this
view in reply to the secretary's state
ment of yesterday that it was desir-
able that the German government
make declaration that in carrying
out it's new submarine campaign Of
sinking armed merchantmen without
warning after February 20, it intended
10 abide by the assurances it gave in
the Arabic case that ''liners" would
not be attacked without warning un-
less they attempted to resist.
Such assurances as it is indicated
Germany may now ask probably would
apply only t Italian ships as British
passenger-caE, E,er,ing liners have not
been armed, even with the small guns
allowed for defensive purposes, since
the outbreak Of the war.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing today continued their. study
of the Lusitania agreement, as it was
formally submitted yesterday to deter
mine whether any of it's terms would
be nullified by the principles OF. the
newly-announced submarine campaign.

YUSUF IS
OFFERED THRONE
REPORT SAYS THAT KHEDIVE OF
EGYPT is DIScoNTENTED
WITH THE AFFAIRS.

BERLIN (by wireles sto Sayville),
Feb. 17.-Advices from Cairo as given
out by the Overseas News agency
state that the khedive of Egypt has
become discontented and that the
British have offered the throne to
Prince Yusuf, who has declined. The
leader of the Senussi is said to have
informed the British he was powerless
to suppress the rebels.
The statement given out by the
news agency is as follows:
'The Italian newspaper Ordine of
Ancona publishes report from Cairo
dated February that the leader of
the Senussi was requested by the Brit
ish authorities to terminate the COM
bats on the western frontier of Egypt,
but replied that he was powerless
gainst the rebels. The British said
that the Redifs (first Egyptian re-
serves) who mutinied must be sup
pressed with energetic measures.
"The khedive expressed to the
British his intense pain that the Red
ifs had been fired on. He requested
Maj. Gen. Sir John Maxwell, COM
mander of the British forces in Egypt,
that the British officer who gave the
order to fire on the Redifs be court
martialed. In the meantime sum-
moning of the Redifs has been post
poned.
"The khediVe Is dfSCUTt57Ited- and a
weary. The British have offered the
succession OF the throne to Prince
Yussuf, who declined"
The identity of the prince referred
to is not clear. The reference may be
to Yousoff Sadik Bey, chief of the
Egyptian cabinet.

LITTLE CHILD
BADLY BURNED
PASSES AWAY
THREE-YEAR-OLD MAURICE
ELLINGTON AND LITTLE
PLAYMATE WERE PLAYING
WITH MATCHES WHEN
BOYS CLOTHING IGNITED.

Maurice, the three-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Ellington of 1000
Union street died last night at S:15
O'Clock as a result of burns sustained
when his clothing was ignited by a
match in the hands of a little play
mate about II O'Clock yesterday.
The little children were playing in
the yard when the accident occurred; !;
the little fellow ran screaming to the
front, where a neighbor saw him and
grabbing a large coat, extinguished
the flames, but not until fatal burns
had been sustained and the flames in
hailed by the frantic child.
Maurice was one of twin boys, a
bright little fellow, who won one of
ten diplomas at the better baby con-
test held here in the fall of 1914. Mr..
and Mrs. Ellington have the sympathy
of a host of friends in their sudden

Considering Proposal.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing were
considering today the new German
proposal designed to settle the Lusi-
tania controversy to determine
whether it's term would be nuliified
by the announced intention of the
Teutonic powers to sink all armed
enemy merchant ships without warn
ing after February 29.
American officials : expressed the
opinion that the submarine contro-
yersy with Germany cannot be closed
until assurances are given that the
safety of neutrals and non-combatants
at sea have OF been altered by the
latest Germanic declarations. They
state that the situation is where il
was several weeks ago, when it was
described as grave"
Announcement of delay in the set
tlement of the submarine controversy
was made by Secretary Lansingaand
came in place of the long-expected an
nouncement of satisfactory con
clusion of the Lusitania negotiations
The German communication had been
presented by Ambassador Bernstorff in
a form substantially acceptable to the
United States.
1t was said that Mr.. Lansing asked
the ambassador if Germany intended
to abide by it's promise not to sink
unresisting ''liners" without warning
given in the Arabic case. Count Bern
storff is said to have replied that il
was his personal opinion Germany
would do so. He suggested the pos
sibility of postponing the effective
date of the new submarine campaign
TO give time for negotiations to clarity
the situation. Secretary Lansing, how
ever. was non-committal.

A DECISION
ABOUT STRIKE
NEAR At HAND
THAT SOME DE-
cISIoN ON PART OF COAST
LINE CONDUCTORS WILL BE
ARRIVED AT toDAY-T4E
STRIKE SEEMS PROBABLE.

Some definite decision as to wheth-
er or not all Of the passenger and
freight conductors Of the Atlantic
Coast Line are to go on strike will
likely be arrived at today.
1t is understood here that, as far as
is known, no agreement has been
reached, and it was reported yester-
day that strike was probable, al
though every effort was being made
to prevent it, as it is realized that
such a strike will be of big proper
tions and will more than likely tie
roads in the south.
A statement setting forth the con-
ductors' side of the controversy be-
tween the Atlantic Coast Line rail
way and its conductors in regard to
the audit system placed in effect by
the company on Jan. Is, has been is
sued by w. M. Clark, vice president
of the Order of Railway Conductors.
In this, the statement issued on
Feb. 7, by ]. r. Kenly, president of
the company, is characterized as mis-
leading. The statement of President
Kenly was issued at the time when
the conductors were taking a vote
to see whether they would accept or
reject the audit system. The contro-
versy, it is understood, has since been
placed in the hands of federal media
tors, after conductors f1sastda had 1Fet-ed- -nnt
to accept the system. Officials have
stated that they believe the matter
will be adjusted and that they en-.
tertain no serious fears of strike
The statement from the conductors
quotes at length Circular 3S, inform
ing the conductors that the White
Audit System would be placed in eff
feet, Jan. 15 The principal points
made in this circular are that con
ductors will be required to have in
their possession at all times check
able evidence for the transportation
of each passenger on the train; that
auditor to examine all form nd rec
ords relating to transportation upon
presentation of property commission
that the conductor will verify the
auditors count of all passengers on
the train, and that the conductor will
be required to keep record of all
tickets and passes honored, but not
lifted.
The first provision is pointed out by
| the conductors to be- physical inn
possibility, for the reason that the
company has not provided coupons
on their various forms of honored
but not lifted transportation.
The vice president of the Order OF
Railway Conductors made the point
in his statement that President Kenly
in his statement, quoted a part of g
letter from the conductors commit
tee, without quoting other parts which
would have made the letter appear
in another light. +

BIG BUILDING COLLAPSED AND
FIRE WAS FOLLOWED BY
AN EXPLOSION.

MEXIA, Texas, Feb. 17-Search
of the ruins of the old Mexia opera
house and adjoining structures was
continued today to ascertain whether
more than nine persons perished
when the opera house collapsed last
night. A gas explosion which fol-
lowed set fire to the ruins of the
opera house and destroyed number
of other buildings. Nine bodies we're
recovered last night. Property dam
age estimated at from $4,000 to $780,
900 was done.
Although close check last night
indicated every one in the opera had
been accounted for, there was pos
sibility that other persons may have
perished in it or nearby buildings.
A revised list of the known dead
follows:
Prof A. B. Weisner, superintend
ent of the Mexia public schools, and
wife.

CHILD WELFARE
DAY OBSERVED
ADDRESS DELIVER
ED BY MISS oPPENHEIMER
OF SAVANNAH.

Child Welfare day was observed in
Brunswick by an excellent address at
the city hall yesterday afternoon at
$3.50 by Miss Carol P Oppenheimer of
Savannah. Miss Oppenheimer, who is
at present director of Chatham kin
Kate Baldwin Memorial association,
spoke on child welfare, and handled
her subject interestingly, delighting
her large audience of parents and
teachers with her breadth of know
ledge and her pleasant manner of pre-
senting it.
The four principal points brought
out by the speaker in her philosophi.
cal and practical talk were healthy
bodies and minds, an equal chance and
start for every child, supervised and
proper recreation, and practical train
ing for the vocation chosen.
After the close of the lecture, an
informal query session was held, in
which Miss Oppenheimer explained
the Gary system and other education
al methods that are being used sue
cessfully in various cities, together
with her observations of the results
of supervised play.
A substantial free-wiii offering was
made by those present for the cause
of child welfare, which is a depart
ment of the Parent-Teachers' associa
ton, branch Of the Congress OF
Mothers, which was founded 19 years
ago yesterday in Washington, D. c., by
Georgia woman, Mrs. Burney.
