WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE difficulties
In the way of a safe handling Of the
Persia case seem to be increasing. De-
velopments to-day make It look as IL the
United States will he dependent chiefly
upon Austria for information In regard
to the sinking Of the British vessel which
resulted In the death Of American Con-
sui McNeely.
II Austria disclaims all responsibility
and denies that one OF her submarines
sank the Persia the United States will
probably never be able to prove that the
destruction Of the ship was the work Of
an undersea boat or to AK the RESPONSE
bility for the act.
United States Consul 0arrels At Alex
andria reported to the State Department
to-day hat the a%ffidavits which he had
gathered from the survivors Of the Per-
STA contain no evidence that the liner was
torpedoed beyond that Incorporated In
his earlier dispatches.
Evidence Meagrc So Far.
This means that Consul Garrels has
been unable to FIND any one who would
make affidavit TO having seen a sub
marine near the Persia. SO far as the
state Department knows the only tangi-
BILE evidence that has yet been obtained
liz from one OF the British officers OF the
Persia who has been quoted as saying
that he was under the impression that
he saw the water rippled by a submarine.
Even In regard to the statement of
this officer accounts have differed. One
version indicated that he was under the
impression that he had seen the wake
OF a torpedo. the other hat he had
seen a ripple on the water such as Is
made by a submarine periscope.
It Is assumed at the State Depart
ment that Consul Garrels has obtained
the statement Of this officer and that
II is included In the batch which he
described as furnishing no further evil
dence thar was contained In his earlier
dispatches.
The State Department has instructed
the consulate at Alexandria and at other
points on the Mediterranean to get AMI

FARM LOAN BOARD ITINERARY
Present-To Visit the South
At Later Date.

Washington.-It is stated at the of
fices IL the Federal farm loan board
that when the itinerary of the board
is announced it will include only the
Western states for the present. the
South to be reached by the board
probably the latter part of September.
The itinerary begins August Il at
Portland, Ore, and after that the cap
ital of each state will be visited The
hearings in the South will be at Nash
vile, for Tennessee; at Little Rock.
for Arkansas; at Montgomery, for Ala
ALBANIA, and Atlanta, for Georgia.
1t is not likely that any Federal re-
serve bank city will be selected as
bank city for the Federal farm loan
bank because the treasury department
does not want to confuse the work OF
the Federal reserve and the Federal
farm loan boards.

Or. John 3. Murphy Of Chicago, Noted
Surgeon, Dies Suddenly Of Heart
Failure.

Mackinac Island, Mich.-Dr John B.
Murphy of Chicago, one OF the worlds
most renowned surgeons, died here
suddenly at hotel while on summer
outing. An attack Of heart disease
was the immediate cause of death.
DR.. Murphy had been In poor health
for several months
The famous surgeon, who recently
was kHighted by Pope Benedict for
his researches in surgery, was SO years
old. He first came into international
fame through his specializing in fntes-
tinal disorders and invented what was
known as the Murphy hutton, making
possible operations which heretofore
had been deemed impossible. He was
credited by many with being the first
surgeon to perform operations for ap-
pendicitis, such cases previously hav-
ing gone unoperated as quick consump-
ton or other intestinal disorders.
OF late years DR.. Murphy had turned
his attention to joint disease, which
he treated by the serum method, hav-
ing followed the suggestion that rheu-
matism and other similar disorders
were due to pus centers in the body.

HAS GRASP OF SITUATION
President confers With 1rotherhoods
and Managers-ouestlon Is What
Form Of Arbitration Needed.

Washington President Wilson con.
ferred with both PARTIES to tie threat.
ened countrywide railway strike, and
1t appeared that foundation had been
laid to furnish working basis for a
settlement of the differences of the
employees and employers.
The foremost questions are what
shall be arbitrated, If arbitration is to
be resorted to, and what form of ar
bitration shall be adopted. Represen-
tatiyes of the employees maintain that
their demand for an eight-hour day
and time and half for overtime is
the only concrete proposition under
discussion. They insisted to the pres
ident in their conference that the
railroads make some definite counter
proposal II the railroads submitted,
some proposed form of settlement,
they would be ready to discuss nego
tiations further.

PROBABLE THAT HRookHAvEN
CASES WILL BE MOL
PRESSED.
BANK HELD TO BE SOLVENT
Dismissal Of States Appeal In Case
Of Cashier Makes IL Impractical
bic To Place On Trial Others
Indicted. =

Brookhayen.-In all probability the
cases of the state against the officers
and directors of the defunct CONNER
cial Bank & Trust Co. of this place
will be mol pressed when the Septem-
ber term Of Lincoln circuit court
meets.
The cashier and the board of di-
rectors of the company were jointly in
dicted by the grand jury and charged
with receiving deposits. knowing that
the bank at the time was insolvent.
When the case was called for trial
severance was granted by the court
and the state elected to try F. F. Beck
er, cashier. The defendant asked and
obtained a change of venue and the
case was tried at Hazlehurst. After
the case had consumed several weeks
the trial Judge gave peremptory in
structions to the jury discharging the
defendant.
This case was appealed to the su-
preme court by the state, and the at
torney-general, upon his own RESPONSE
bility and over the protest Of the dis
trict attorney, dismissed the appeal,
and in a statement to the court held
that the bank was not insolvent and
that the supreme court acting upon
the advice of the attorney-general dis
missed the case, thereby holding that
the bank was solvent.
1t therefore follows that the cases
now pending against the other officers
of the bank must be mol pressed as
a matter. of law. because the bank
has been held to be solvent, and there
is but one thing left for the district
attorney to do in justice to the tax
payers of the county, and that is to
mol pros the cases. which will in all
probability be done.

Washington.-Al the national guard

Between 10000 and $4,000 additional

DAM GIVES WAY;
FLOOD IN VALLEY
SOUTH CAROLINA TOWNS ARE
GIVEN WARNING OF, THE
DISASTER.
LAKE WAS ARTIFICIAL ONE
Waters Spread Over Uninhabited
Country-Heavy Rains and Floods
Caused Toxaway Dam to
Break.

Asheville, N. C-The Lake Toxa
way dam, weakened by the recent
floods, broke Sunday night, sending q
great wall of water down the valley
toward Western South Carolina
Warnings sent out from several cities
are believed to have enabled most per
sons in the path of the flood to reach
safety.
The lake, an artificial body of wa
ter, was created in 1902 by eastern
capitalists. 1t covers $50 acres to an
average depth of 80 feet The dam,
an eighth of a mile long and so feet
high, was completely destroyed. The
town of Lake Toxaway suffered only
minor damage, though the lake was
completely drained.
The released waters rushed through
the Toxaway River valley, compare
lively uninhabited section, towards the
Chuga river in South Carolina. An.
derson, Wallhalla, Pickens and Sen
eca counties comprised the territory
immediately threatened and warn
ings were telephoned to all places that
could be reached.
Persons familiar with the territory
expressed the belief that the waters
would spread out over the uninhab-
tied country immediately south OF
Lake Toxaway and thus minimize the
possibility of extensive damage.
The lake was created In connection
with a summer resort and had a shore
line Of Is miles. The dam was con
structed at cost of about $4,000.
A message from the railroad tele
graph operator at Toxaway, describ
ing the breaking of the dam, said a
section of the structure about the size
of box car gave way without warn
ing shortly after Z O'Clock and that
the entire structure quickly collapsed
under the weight of the thousands OF
tons of water. One version of the
cause of the breaking was that small
spring had seeped away the founda
ton at a heavily pressed point
Toxaway is the third and largest OF
the lakes in the Western North Caro-
lima mountains to go out since July 1
when heavy rains caused serious
floods in that section.
