FIVE: HUNDRED
PERISH ABOARD
4 SPANISH SHIP
ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY THE
STEAMER STRIKING A ROCK IN
THICK FCG-AMERlCAN CONSUL
WAS SAVED.

do DE JANElRO, March 7-Ac-
cording to the latest information the
number of deaths on the Spanish
passenger steamship Principe de AS
turias, which struck a rock and sank
off Santos on Sunday, will reach al
most 500. Among those saved was
the new American consul to Santos,
Charles Tredek.
The vessel was en- route to Buenos
Aires from Barcelona.
Over 600 passengers were on
board. The catastrophe was caused,
it is said, by thick fog in which the
vessel struck a rock and sank in
less than five minutes. The news
papers Of this city say that it is re-
ported that the commander of the
ship committed suicide at the
moment of the accident. The greater
part of the officers were lost.
The Swedish freight vessel VEGA
has arrived at Santos with 143 per
sons from the Principe de Austrias.
The captain says that his vessels
lifeboats went over the scene Of the
accident and picked up 1926 persons.
Continuing his route for Santos he
met lifeboat from the Austrias
with II persons on board and picked
them up. The Brazilian authorities
have sent steamships to explore the
region where the Spanish vessel
sank.

MAY ABOLISH
LOCAL OFFICE
OF TREASURER
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IN
FAVOR OF DOING AWAY
WITH OFFICE NOW HELD BY
r. S. PYLES.

While two well known Brunswick
gentlemen We're soliciting votes for
the office yesterday, the Glynn county
commissioners in regular session were
voting to have legislation introduced
to abolish the county treasureship of
Glynn county. 1t was pointed out at
the meeting that similar steps were
being taken all over the state and that
it would save the county the fees now
paid the treasurer, as any one of the
local banks would cheerfully transact
the work of the office in consideration
of the county deposit. 1t was finally
voted unanimously to ask the repre-
sentative in the legislature from Glynn
county to introduce such a measure,
when that body meets in June. The
chances are therefore that bill with
this object in view will be introduced
in the house.
II will be remembered that at the
last session Of the regular legislature
some thirty of these treasurers Off
ces in the state were abolished it is
probable that fifty or more will be
abolished at the approaching session,
but the action taken by the county
commissioners yesterday was the first
intimation that such action was to be
taken in this county, just at this time
anyway.
The local case is made somewhat
complicated, however, owing to the
fact that campaign is now on for
the position, and on April 10 pr-
mary will be held and among other
county officers a treasurer will be
named. Whoever is nominated. how
ever, will not be elected until the reg
ular state election in October, there
fore the question that Is now being
discussed is whether or not such
bill would legislate an official out of
office.
The subject was discussed at some
length yesterday after the action Of
the commissioners became known, and
the final result of the BILL which will
be presented to the local representa-
tive for Introduction, will be awaited
with interest

The position of the fellow with the
peanuts just bout fits the Glynn coun-
ty commissioners in the attitude they
assumed at their meeting yeserday. 1t
appears that the commissioners beat
the city to the tank in the matter of
buying oyster shells from the Glynn
canning people and that the city, in
order to make some badly-needed re-
pairs. asked the commissioners to let
them have $4,000 bushels. There was
nothing doing.
-.lThe commissioners advised Alder
man Claude Dart, head of the council
committee on public works, that they
needed the shells for their own roads,
Even the argument that the city want
ed to put Gloucester street in shape
for the coming of the Dixie highway
commissioners in a few weeks did not
move the commissioners. They said
mot" And when the Glynn county
commissioners say that little word
they mean it!
Considerable regret was expressed
over the city yesterday, that the re-
quest was not granted, for Brunswick
wants the Dixie highway and wanted
to make a showing when the commits
sioners uome. However, the city will
have to use something else.

CONVICT GANG
IS CALLED OFF
NEW ROAD WORK
ACTION TAKEN BY COMMIS-
SlONERS AT MEETING YES
TERDAY AFTER A LIVELY
DISCUSSION.

Glynn county's convict gang. which
has been at work on a second new road
from Frazier's Crossing to Everett. a
distance of something like five or six
miles, was yesterday called off the
work, following a meeting of the coun-
ty commissioners at which, it is under
stood, quite an interesting discussion
was engaged in.
Just what caused the action on the
part of the commissioners, does not
seem altogether clear to those who be-
lleved that the road was badly needed,
and the action of the commission was
the topic of considerable discussion
yesterday afternoon
For the past two or three months,
it seems, the county gang has been
busy on constructing a new road from
Frazier's Crossing to Everett. This
new road, however, which has already
been completed, and which is an un-
usually good one, is not a direct line
1t covers distance of approximately
thirteen miles; taking a northeasterly
direction from Frazier's and thence
running in a westerly direction to Ev-
erett. The road, for some reason, was
built around this route, rather than
direct.
Later it was stated that a direct road
to Everett was badly needed and the
convict gang was put to work on it.
Considerable of the right of way had
been completed and the convicts
were busy on the road yesterday when
the work was called off
The commissioners. or rather those
who were in favor of disseminating the
work, point out that a second road is
not necessary; that although the pres
ent road is considerably longer in dis
tance, still it well serves the purpose,
and that the county should not spend
big ym on new road.
On the other hand many citizens be-
lieve that the road should be built;
they point out that it will furnish an
excellent short route for Wayne coun
ty people and others, that it will be
portion of the new Macon-Brunswick
auto highway, etc. Anyway. the ques-
tion is not settled, it seems, and the
subject is likely to be re-opened, with
the request hat the new road be built.

HOUSE STANDS
BY PRESIDENT
IN TEST VOTE
ADMINISTRATION FORCES
WON BY A BIG MAJORITY IN
FIRST BALLOT TAKEN ON
THE QUESTION.

WASHINGTON, March Tn the
first test vote in the house today on
The armed ship question the admins
tratiOn forces won, 256 to 100. Oppor-
tunity for amending the McLemore
resolution to warn Americans off arm
ed ships of belligerents was removed
and the house turned to debate the
resolution itself.
The question to adopt the special
rule was then put and the admins
tration forces won, 271 to 1873. They
then placed the McLemore resolution
before the house for debate and a
vote
Promptly at II o'clock the house as
sembled for the al-day fight of the
administration forces to kill the Nc
Lemorc resolution to warn Americans
off armed ships of the European bel
ligerents. Speaker Clark was in the
chair.
After the reading of the Journal,
Acting Chairman Pou of the rules
committee submitted the special rule
under which the debate will proceed
Mr.. PDu asked unanimous consent
for ninety minutes debate on the
rule. There was no objection and the
debate began. Mr. Pou took the
floor to open the fight.
An outburst of applause approved
Mr.. Pou when he said:
"All the imps OF hell never devised
a more infamous lie than the declara-
ton that has been made that Presi-
dent Wilson wants war"
Representative Campbell of Kan
sas, Republican, member of the rules
committee, announced when Mr.. Pou
concluded that if the motion to close
debate ON the rule were defeat
ed he would offer a substitute for
the McLemore resolution which
would be direct warning to Ameri-
cans to keep off armed ships.
Mr., Pou attacked the resolution at
the outset.
at means in effect that if an
American disregards a warning that
the United States government will
fold its hands" he said.
rs there single red d-blooded citi-
zen in this house, or this country,
who wants to do that?
ut is charged that the president
wants war. All the imps of hell nev-
er devised a more infamous charge
"No man since Abraham Lincoln,
has gone through such a test as the
president has gone through in the
last six months. He has tried to pre-
serve peace. He would not sacrifice
single life to make himself presi-
dent for a lifetime.
He has support on both sides of
this chamber. He has support on the
Democratic side and distinguished
support on the other side. Only the
other day read statement Of for
mer President Taft supporting him"
"If this rule is defeated" declared
Representative Harrison, Democrat,
Of Mississippi, an administration
leader, you will not only send joy
to the hearts of people in a foreign
capital, but you stab your own presi-
dent in the back"
At the end Of debate of an hour
and q half on the rule, a vote on
motion for "the previous question:
motion TO end debate on the rule
itself was in order. That would be
the first roll call

SODA AND SOUR MILK INSTEAD
 OF BAKING POWDER.

Sour milk and soda combined in right proportions with flour produce doughs of excellent texture. Since cream of tartar has doubled in price recently, baking powders may become more expensive, and this Is all added reason for using the soda and sour milk
 But even under normal conditiorS soda Is far cheaper than cream of tartar, says the Dallas News, and the proportion is one part soda to two parts of the more costly cream of tartar. Hence, if we can make use of by-product-sour milk, with the inexpensive soda-we shall eff feet a considerable saving Even if the milk is but slightly sour, enough soda may be used to offset it's acidity and the amount of bak- ing powder proportionately decreased.
 With thick, sour milk. one-half level teaspoonful of soda should be allowed for each half-pint cupful of the milk The soda may be sifted with the flour, like baking powder. The "clabbered" milk should be thoroughly beaten with an egg beat CT to divide the curds.

CAMEOS HAVE COME INTO FAVOR

lection at St. Petersburg. IL was Il by g inches, and engraved with the Apotheosis of augustus
 How Design Was Wrought
 The artist. when working onyx stone, started on one that had been ground and highly polished, with the white strata uppermost. He made a sketch of the design on an enlarged scale, and after considering the degree ot relief that was pos sible with the white layer-for the depth yaries-a wax model was made to serve as a copy.
 The outline of the design was drawn on the stone and cut, the outer layer being pared down till the dark strata appeared, Then the difficult and highly artistic part of the work began-that of sketch ing in the principal details and cut ting them into the delicate forms that made perfect whole Gaze at your old cameo carefully, and marvel at the deXterity which ma nipulated small revolving wheels working in seal engraver's en- zine by means of a treadle, Some of these tools were so slender that they appeared like the fine point of t needle, though a magnifier showed distinctly the tiny disks
 The art of the miniature painter pales before the delicacy required by ancient artists to cut cameo that satisfied the fastidious and lux uriouS Romans. The art originated with the desire to place writings and signs upon imperishable materl- al, and Moses was directed to take two onyx stones and engrave or them the names of the children of Israel"
 The fashionable cameo that clasps dainty knot of lace for my lady today has history of the far, far ages behind 1t.
The Alaska citizen., 1916-06-12

After a lapse of time, cameoS have returned to popular favor In the sos these were ordered and bought as ordinary jewelry but the women ol today have to scratch aobut and pick them up" no con noisseur would care for anything but the real old genuine article, . and they, like most antiques, need finding.
 A short time ago, before the rage for cameos had set in, they might have been found lying discarded ill a dealers tray of oddments and picked up for a song, but now the price has gone up.
 Half century ago they were very expensive ornaments, and the cost of d well executed cameo, with the head of a single figure on it, varied between $60 and S100, and that was considered cheap in con- parison with previous prices, An old jewel box with contents be loved by a grandmother may yield treasure trove in the shape of a valuable carving.
 How to Know Them.
 Do you recognize a cameo when you see it, or, like many people vaguely wonder what it is made of? The finest specimens are graven on onyx, but the engrayerS gave a wider significance to the name onyx, and included all stones formed of different colored layers, or strata such as the sardonX aul the cornell an onyx. The onyx which we are chiefly familiar with is dark brown and white, and a good specimen possesses four zones, or strata, i? the two shades. The stones are found in the form of round pebbles, and the largest true onyx said to exist, when the art of cameo cary- ing was at it's highest, was the Gonzaga cameo ir he imperial col
