but the match was delayed for some
time while Miss Bjurstedt went outside
TO argue the merits of Mjolner with
Murray, who stood by Transient. Dur
ing the delay the most frequent remark
Of the members Of the largest crowd OF
the tournament was that Miss Blur
stedt certainly was a good player.
When the two indoor CHAMPIONS re-
appeared things began TO move. Miss
Weber, clad in by Tar the most gor-
geous garment of a gorgeous tourna-
ment, warmed up with McNeal Swift

he should have seen the battle of the
colors at the tournament. Even Muir
ray appeared in an abbreviated purple
stripe smoking jacket.
McNeal was nervous and started with
q double fault, made another 10 deuce,
then won the game when Murray
lobbed two out. Murrsy's express ser
vice accounted for the next game, as
il did for all his delivery games in the
set. Miss Weber and McNeal used
what is ordinarily considered weak
formation when they received, with
McNeal at the right side and Miss
Weber receiving the brunt Of the at

U-BOATS SINK
SIXTEEN SHIPS
IN "a HOURS

LONDON, Aug. 4.-After a long Pc
riod of comparative inactivity, follow
ing the submarine controversy with
the United States, Germany has en-
tered upon another vigorous campaign
with her U-boats. During the twen-
ty-four hours ending at noon the de-
struction of sixteen ships was reported
not counting several trawlers which
were sunk in the North Sea.
The latest victims were the British
schooner G. G. Gradwell, the Japanese
steamship Kohina Maru, and the Ital-
ian ship Messina. The sixteen ships
included five of Swedish National,
four British, two Finnish, one Nor
wegian, one Japanese, and one Danish.
1t is believed that the loss of. life
in the latest burst of submarine activ-
ity has been heavy, especially in re-
gard to the Italian steamer Letimbro,
which was sent to the bottom in the
Mediterranean after being shelled for
half an hour by submarines. Five of
the life boats, containing men, women
and children, were reported by surviv-
ors at Malta to have be mashed by
shells.
Especial precautions were taken
when the liner Philadelphia sailed
from Liverpool The steamer slipped
quietly out of the Mersey river at 3
o'clock this morning. Among the pas
sengers on board are Walter H. Page,
the United States ambassador to Eng
land, and Mrs. Page.

KIRKPATRICK TO GET
CONCRETE ROAD WORK

Contracts for the National road i'm
provements in Jackson and Center
township and the gravel road to be
built in Jackson township will be sign
ed up by the county commissioners
tomorrow. Investigations so far have
revealed that the lowest bidder on the
concrete roads, C. M. Kirkpatrick,
Greenfield, is reliable and there is
little doubt that he will get the work.
Early next week the commissioners
will probably meet and decide upon
the amount of the bond issues and will
advertise for bids. The bids cannot
be sold until thirty days after they
have been advertised but in case some
bank agrees to take over the bonds If
nobody else will. the contractor can
begin work on the improvements be-
fore the bonds are sold.
The expenses Of the road improve
ments will fall upon the townships in
which they are made. Jackson town
ship will be hit especially hard be-

SUBMARINE SHELLS
STEAMER As CREW
TRY TO TAKE BOATS

ROME, Aug. 4.-More than fifty per-
sons. most of them passengers per-
ished when the Italian mail steamer
Letimbro was shelled by a hostile
submarine in the Mediterranean, ac-
cording to the latest reports available
today. The bombardment of this ves-
sci while the passengers and sailors
were taking to the boats was declared
In high quarters today to be a VIOLA
tion Of the pledge that Germany gave
to the United States to wage its SUBJ
marine warfare in the future with due
regard for the safety of non-combat-
ants.
1t is not yet known whether the SUBJ
marine which bombarded the Letim-
bro and subsequently sank the
steamer was of German or Austrian
nationality, but it is said that the
United States will order an investi-
cation and call to the attention of the
German government the fact that an
unarmed passenger carrying steamer
was shelled by Teuton submarine
with fatal effect.

lowing the delivery to the state de-
partment of General Carranza's reply
to this governments note Of July %.

differences between the two countries.
The note also states that Eliseo Ar
rendondo, ambassador here, has been
empowered to treat with the state de-
partment regarding the place and
time of the commissions meeting.
The proposal of the United States
that the powers of the commission be
such that it could deal with all prob
lens affecting the two countries was
not directly answered.
The note states that the Mexicans
appointed to the commission had been
instructed ITO devote their attention
preferably to the solution of the points

Of about twelve miles of improve
ments. Long time bonds will solve
the problem Of keeping the tax rate
down and the petitioners figured that
by letting all four strips at once,
enough money would be saved by the
lower prices at which they would be
taken to offset to interest of the
bonds.
when the contract is let for an
other strip of cement road on the
National road through Center town

pended in the county this year for

CASWELL, Tenn, Aug. 4.-The
death toll in the Blair Creek flood
grew to sixty today and rescue parties
are fearful that it will amount to one
hundred by the time all the wreckage
is cleared out of the valley. Investi-

rent of water through the valley.
Houses, trees, stock, everything was
swept before it.
A few survivors are telling thrilling
tales of rescue and damage. E. c..
Edmunds, whose wife and four chill
dren were drowned, was found in the
branches of tree three miles from
where his house had stood. His two
other children clung to log that was
sweeping by and were saved. Ed
munds said he awoke at 3 o'clock in
the morning to find his house starting
down the valley.

cause of the report given out In In
dianapolis that the Richmond samples
had produced the dirtiest milk ever
examined there.
He said the sample of milk which
was found to contain considerable for
eign matter came from one of the best
places in the city and that the milk in
itself was not dirty but that the for
eign substance was in the container
as sent him from the state headquar-
ters. DR.. Clem said he had called the
attention of Mayor Robbins to the dirt
in these containers that were suppos-
ed to have been sterilized and sealed
in indianapolis.
He resented the fact that dirty con-
tainers made clean milk submitted
from Richmond appear to be so filthy
that the city had been given black
eye all over the state.
