Mayor Thompson's plea for a
$1,000 license has stirred the saloon
keepers to wrath against him. They
accuse him of playing directly into
the hands of the newspapers and

because the breweries would con-
centrate saloons in the tougher dis

would provide entertainment and,
therefore, increase the business.
The first effect of the new dry

Watson. one time candidate for the
presidency on the Populist ticket, was
called to trial in federal district court
here today on a charge of having sent
obscene matter through the mails. 1t

and author of historical works, has
faced trial on the same charges. The
flrst indictment was quashed nearly
two years ago on technicalities. He
was re-indicted and last December af-
ter lengthy trial the jury disagreed.
The publisher. whose home is at
thomson, Ga, near here, is under an
Indictment containing four counts bas-
ed on articles published in his maya
zines, which the indictment states vio-
late the federal penal code. At his pre-
vious trial. which began year ago to-
morrow, Watson claimed immunity
for the matter objected to on the
ground that 1t consisted of excerpts
from works on Roman Catholic theol-
ogy which had gone through the mails
without question. The matter was us

on the northeast coast of England The

an official war office statement.
Both Zeppelins were brought dowr
in flames into the sea after being at

Inns last night makes total of five
giant dirigibles destroyed in the three

Great Britain had from hostile air at
tacks led many persons to believe the
Germans would not risk any more air
ships in attacks which were said In
England to have gained no military ad-
vantage for them.
BoMBARDED SEVERELY.
Official reports do not say how
many airships crossed to the coast, but
apparently they were bombarded so
severely by anti-aLrcraft guns and at
tackled by airplanes that they were un-
able to do much damage. Lights were
turned out in all towns in the districts
affected.
The commanders Of the Zeppelins
apparently had difficulty in locating

Durham coast was first seen at mid
night. 1t was located by searchlights
and soon shells from anti-aircraft guns
hit her. She burst into flames and
fell into the water in two pieces.

Orleans county, New York, in the early
part of 1916.
At the time of the trial there ap-
peared to be a clear case against Site
low. The efforts to save him from
conviction on a first degree murder
charge were based largely on medical
testimony that the accused man had
the brain of a child.

On the eve of the date fixed for his
execution. however, a change of senti-
ment developed in the community
where the crime was committed and
doubts were raised as to tho guilt of
the convicted man.

expired. and after the governor had re-
fused further respite, Justice Guy,

the condemned mans life just as wit

pected legal death. Following the
granting of a stay OF 1S hours, the

Twice In one day Stielow's wife and
two children had said farewell to him

for Stielow. Alleged confessions were
introduced to show that the crime was
committed by an itinerant peddlar
who had frequently stopped at the
Phelps home. These confessions were
branded by the district attorney as
false and perjury charges were made
against the authors. When the case

for new trial was refused.
