position. When Howard found her she
was visiting her sister, Mrs. z. L. STAN
ley.
After Howard found the picture he
visited numerous San Francisco hotels,

woman had returned to Oshkosh. He
went to Oshkosh. and Appleton. A per-

came here. Shortly afterward he OBJ
tanned an introduction. Miss Telsma re-
ceived her hand bag-and then we'd

slaughter and was sentenced to serve
sixteen years.
AT a special session of court held at
Townsville, Ga, in June, 1915, Cox s
attorneys moved for a new trial on the
ground that two of the trial jurors ex-
pressed the opinion previous to the trial
that Cox should be convicted.
Judge w. Z. Thomas, the trial judge,
refused to grant a new trial, and Cox 5
attorneys then took an appeal to the
court of appeals both on the ground of
the alleged bias of the two jurors and on
the ground of alleged errors by Judge
Thomas in his charge to the jury.
In an opinion written by Judge r. b.
Russell, chief judge of the court of APP
peals, the court holds that Judge Thomas
did not abuse his discretion in believing
the affidavits of the two jurors in ques-
ton, wherein they denied bias, and fur
ther holds Judge Thomas committed no
errors in his charge to the jury.

GERMANS SLACK OFF
IN THEIR ASSAULTS
ON vERDUN FORTRESS
Only Occasional Artillery DueIS
Are Reported but AviatorS
Have Been Busy on Both
Sides
(By Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Tne
German offensive in the Verdun region,
now nearing the end of it's fourth week.
has again slackened decidedly, both Par
is and Berlin reporting the continued
absence of infantry operations by either
side. The big guns here and there along
the front in the vicinity of the fortress
are intermittetnly pounding opposing po-
sitions~b but the chief activity seems to
be by the airmen.
Paris reports numerous raids by
French aviators, the points bombarded
including the railway stations of Con-
fans and Metz. The showers of heavy
shells dropped are declared to have
caused explosions and fires.
Elsewhere on the western front only
the artillery has been busy and even this
has not displayed more than ordinary
activity
In Russia there has been only sporadic
fighting, although there are signs Of
preparations for movements of consid-
cradle force, particularly along the
northern end of the line.
The Austrians have turned on the
Italians along the Isonzo, where the
initiative has recently been for the most
part with General Cadornas forces.
Vienna announces q successful attack
north of the Tolmlno bridgehead in
which Italian positions were captured
together with nearly five hundred pris-
oners and three machine guns.
In Arabia the British report a defeat
for a Turkish force which attacked an
outpost near Alden.
London announces the torpedoing of
the Duth steamer Palembang from Rot
terdam to Java, off the Galloper light
in the Thames estuary Saturday morn
ing. All of the crew are reported saved.
Apparently the lost vessel was the
Rotterdam owned steamer Palembang Of
6,674 tons engaged in the Holland-Java
trade, for although there are two steam
ers of that name, the smaller is an oil
carrier last reported at Kirkwall on q
voyage from Philadelphia to Norway.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE adj
ministration bill to repeal the free sugar
provision of the tariff, passed by the
house last night, went to the senate to-
day. 1t will be referred to the finance
committee and probably will be taken

The bill was adopted SAC to IA by the
house, thirteen Democrats and one So

the negative votes. Efforts to amend

Majority Leader Kitchin who made
the concluding argument for the meas

by the minority, which developed into a
general attack and defense of the tariff

Won T1rpitz Fired
For KeeplmgFJeet
out of Conflict?

PARIS, March 16.-The retirement of
Admiral Won Tirpitz is considered in
French official circles, according to the
Paris newspapers, to be due to the fact
that he has opposed coming out of the
German fleet while Emperor William de-
sires to see it engage the British naval
forces.
The conclusion is consequently drawn
tat a change may be looked for in the
German naval policy and that the recent
appearance of German warships in the
North sea is a sign that preparations are
being made for an early action by the
high sea fleet.

AMERICUS BOYS BODY
Is FOUND IN A CREEK

AMERICUS, March 1.-THE body OF
Fred Alexander. ten-year-ofd white boy,
son of Tim Alexander. an Americas
blacksmith, was found at 500 O'Clock
this morning in Muckalee creek after the
stream had been dragged all night. The
boy had been missing since late Thurs
day afternoon and at 8 o'clock last night
his bicycle was found near a bridge over
the creek. This led to the belief that
the body was in the creek as the boy had
been accustomed to playing around
there.
