PORTED AT GALVESTON.

Safe and sound, and reporting
nothing Of an unusual nature on her
voyage from the Canary Islands, the
British steamship Commonwealth has
been reported at Galveston, and was
Immediately ordered to Pensacola to
load cargo Of cross ties. The steamer
is expected to reach here this morn
ling, and if she does come into port
in time, work Of loading will be start
ed right away, with the intention to
give her just as rapid dispatch as pos
sible. Cargo was all assembled yes
terday, and will be furnished to load
ers just as fast as possibly needed.
Wher the Commonwealth was not
heard from for some ten DAYS, and
when cargo was piling up demurrage
charges at Pensacola, the exporters
began to work out some way Of get
ting out Of the peculiar fix they were
IN. The exporters, which was the
Pensacola Lumber and Timber Com
pany, managed to get a steamship,
the Inca, at Gulfport, and the latter
was chartered to load at this point.
The Inca, therefore, is expected today
also, but 1t was announced yesterday
afternoon tina the last-named vessel
would be returned to GuIfport FOR
cargo, while the Commonwealth would
be allowed to take the cargo which
had been originally assembled here
for steamer of her dimension and
carrying capacity, for the latter is a
much larger vessel than the second

STAMP
WINDOW OPENED
THIS GREATLY FACILITATES
THE HANDLING OF INCREASED
BUSINESS AT THE LOCAL
POSToFFTCE.

The facilities for handling the in
creasing business of the stamp divi-
sion of the local postofice have been
greatly improved through the open

A Terrible Mistake

touching little scene the pathos of which Tacoman will
appreciate is described by Col Robertson in the editorial col
umns of his Yakima Daily Republic, as follows:
up at Spokane when they arranged the Hughes procession
the other day they put Senator Miles Pondexer and National
Committeeman Sam Perkins into the automobile side
by side
MIR Perkins said little about the matter the time
later in the day he went around and hunted Cowes of the
Spokesman Review who arranged the party half
carload of dynamite under him. He had hardly completed
when Pondexter running down the street
the other half of the load in his pocket intent on performing the
service for humanity.
Ar Cowles will be greatly missed Spokane where he has
been prominent citizen and large real for good
but public sympathy strong for both Perkins
and Pondexter that isn't thought worth while to bother the
coroner about the NATTER

GRATITUDE TO WEST
Forced TO Decline at Present Invita-
ton to Visit Section

Washington, Nov. Is. = President
Wilson expressed his gratitude to the
people of the west for their support in
the election in message sent tonight
in reply to requests that he visit that
section before congress opens. He
said he would be nuable to make the
trip at present because of critical du-
ties, but promised to go west later if
possible
The president sent the following
telegram to William H. King, success
full candidate for ten United States
Senate from Utah.
"The invitation to visit ten west tugs
hard at my heart because | feel deeply
grateful to all the west for the splen-
did and generous support you have
given me; but / would not be worthy

pleasure Of such a trip if ever | can
get free from the tolls of exacting
duty, and in the mean time wish to ex-
press my deepest gratitude, apprecia-
ton and regret"

AMERICANS SUFFER
Action of Germans in Sinking Of the
Columbian Denounced.

London, Nov. 15.-After receiving a
report from Capt. Curtis Of the stea-
mer Columbian, which recently vas
sunk by German submarine off the
Spanish coast, Charles Mayer, the
London manager of the France and
Canada Steamship Company, owners Of
the Columbian, denounced the action
of the Germans in destroying an Amer
lean ship. The Columbian, he said,
had formerly been owned by the HaWa-
iian-Ameriean Company, but was Ia
ken over by his company, which had
been organized since the war. 4
"All the shipping of the company,
,totaling nearly a quarter Of a million
tons, is owned in America and under
American registry" he said. "The

majority of the ships are under the
charter to the Italian and French
governments. The Columbian was
bound for Genoa with about 900 tons
of oats when she was torpedoed. She
had delivered about 1900 horses at
st. NaNzaire. The whole cargo was
loaded at Boston and New York, in
addition to 1000 tons of oil, which she
needed for fuel, as she was an oil
burner Two-thirds of the Columbian's
crew were Americans"
Mr.. Maver said he planned to send
the crew back to the United States on
one of the company's boats from
France.

Recently in Los Angeles an cleo
trio car adm jitney came together
quite extemporaneously. There were
no fatalities, but the jitney was prac-
tically demolished, and the accident
was brought into court. One OF the
passengers OF the electric car was a
"packie" from the monitor Cheyenne
His version Of the accident, as ex-
pressed in a letter to the claim agent
Of the trolley company, follows:
81 was standing on the starboard
fo'castle Of the car when the gaso-
line cutter hove into sight of our
port bow. We were making about
fifteen knots, and the cutter was
coming about the same along anoth-
err channel. 1t was clear weather
and not much ground swell,

even time to get out the life presery-
ers or sound the emergency call. We
smashed in a couple Of the little
crafts compartments. Her captain
stuck to his post. The jitney went
down like a submarine.

five of them.
The Ku Klux members were re-
moved to Pineville, Bell county, as
justice could not have been given to
them in the home county, owing to
the intense excitement that was prev
alent. They were all tried separate
ly and each received life sentences
in the Kentucky penitentiary.
The recent assassination of Jack DO
lin, the Middlesborough barber as

traced to the Ku Klux Khan in Harlan
