BYRON BOY LOSES LIFE
WHEN BOAT IS WRECKED

MACON, Ca, Sept. &c. L. Walton,
a young man of Byron, Houston coun-
ty, was among those lost on the Unit
ed States cruiser Memphis, when she
was washed ashore at San Domingo.
Monday. C. H. Walton, his father, has
been notified by the navy depart
ment.
Mr.. Walton, upon learning of the
accident to the Memphis, wired the
navy department to know if his son
was one of the twenty men drowned.
and yesterday he received a telegram
confirming his fears that his son Is
among those missing.
He was informed, however, that a
complete muster has not yet been
made, so there is a possibility that
young Walton will show up.
Walton was 81 years of age, and
had been in the navy for the past
three years. He was on the cruiser
Tennessee when that ship was doing
! relief work In the Mediterranean dur.
ing the first few months of the war.
Young Walton is well known in
Macon. His friends entertain hopes
that he will yet show up.

ENTIRE CHANGE SINCE
THE BIC WAR BEGUN

PETROGRAD, Sept. 1.-The recent
resignation of S. D. Sazanoff, for six
years minister of foreign affairs in
Russia, and the resignation of A N.
Naumoff as minister of agriculture, to
be succeeded by Count Bobrinsky,
makes the nineteenth change in the
council of ministers since the begin
ming of the war, and leaves P L. Bark,
minister of finance, and L. X. Gregor-
ovitch, minister of marine, the sole
survivors of the original thirteen mem
hers of the cabinet who held office in
August, 1914
This record is remarkable in .

ment has never developed beyond the
embryo, where ministerial responsible

dence and other parliamentary proceed

entire ministries, are unknown. Before

the drudgery of war with none of
the glory.
Royalty on Castor.
One of the newest Swedish torpedo
boats, the Castor, is commanded by
Prince William, second son of the
King and very popular young man.
The prince is great favorite il
Stockholm but the duties of the coast
patrol have kept him away for a long
time and his slim little gray vessel
has been one of the chief defenders
of Swedish neutrality.
An English steamer recently was
making her way out of the Baltic when
accosted by a German destroyer.
Knowing he was within the protection
of territorial waters the English cap
tain at first paid no heed. Then the
destroyer slipped to the inside of the
cargo vessel and in perfectly good
English the German commander di.
rected the Englishman to steer south.
The order was rot answered, but soon
the destroyer began to crowd the
merchantmen so it was necessary for
him to altar his course and he was
gradually approaching the open and
unprotected waters of the Baltic when
the Castor, with Prince William full
six feet three, on the bridge, hove in
sight. The Castor came dashing tc
the scene, white spray flying from
her clean cut bows.
Some of the Swedish papers recog
nized how difficult it is for a German
or Russian destroyer to lie outsid,
the three mile limit and watch a ricS
prize sail safely by with an enem!
flag iauntingly flying at the masthead
They say it is but human for these
craft occasionally to break over" ant
fall upon the prey.
In relating some of his experience
at sea a Swedish naval officer of dis
tinguished rank said to the correspond
ent of The Associated Press:
you see we think it is quite easy TO
tie United States to be neutral. TIL
neutrality of the United States is the
oretical. Here in Sweden we have |
very practical neutrality, very diff
cult and expensive neutrality. We ar

Sweden Has Been Severely
Tested In Her Relations
AS Big Neutral Nation

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Sept. 1.-The
fear expressed in government circles
here that belligerent naval operations
in the Baltic this summer would place
a heavy burden upon the neutrality Of
Sweden seems to have been amply jus.
titled by the events of the past few
weeks. The Swedish navy, small but
efficient, has worked night and day to
keep the territorial waters free of in
f1ingment, but despite this vigilance
submarines and stealthy destroyers of
the warning powers have slipped into
the three-mile limit and stolen away
with a prize.
Germany has been the chief offender
of late, but the Russians were guilty
of poaching earlier, in the summer and
hold two German steamers taken with
in the three mile limit despite the pro
tests of the Swedish government.
The Germans seem to have adopted
the practice of capturing ship, TAX
ing off such supplies as they need, and
then releasing the vessel with a polite
apology. Recently a Swedish ship,
the Oscar II.-not the ark of peace but
tidy little white steamer belonging 10
the Svea Line-was captured by a
! German destroyer and taken to Ger
man Balic port. There every bit OF
lubricating oil was removed from the
steamer and she was allowed to pro-
coed. The Germans naturally ex-
pressed their willingness to pay for the
oil. They would pay fortune to any
one who could run a cargo of oil pass
the British blockade.
The incidents of sunk or captured
ships have been many, but there have
been far more unheralded instances
where raids have been prevented b.

stroyers and torpedo boats 1t is nj

head of the detective firm which in

Seymour & Seymour at the request
Of Mr. Egan. was present, but his eX-
animation was put of at the request Of
his counsel, James Nj. Beck, until this
morning.
Mr.. Egan. under the examination Of
District Attorney Swami, testified 10
the receipt from the detective of copies
Of some twenty letters made from cor
respondence found in the desks of Sey-
mour g. Seymour. Mr.. Swami asked
whether Burns had given him anything
else in the shape of documents taken
from the Seymour Offices. Mr. Egsn
replied;
81 think il would defeat the ends Of
justice for me TO answer the question.
The witness said that the copies of
the Seymour & Seymour correspond
cnce and some original letters now in
his possession sent TO the Humboldt
Fibre Company by men having desk
room with Seymour & Seymour bore
out the belief that some one had stolen
copies of munition orders cabled to the

ment.
