be for all of the big stores to fall into

watch the pep that results.

PEOPLES GOOD WlLL.-When
any big corporation - the Surface
Lines Co., for instance-can do any
thing to better service, and does it,
it means another chunk Of public APP
proval grabbed off. And as many of
said chunks as can be grabbed, the
better it is for the corporation. 1t
means gathering in the good will of
the people. And the good will of the
people is nothing to be trifled with.
Austinites have been complaining
about the, Madison street car jam out
line. 1t has been a fright. Leonard
Busby himself says that this jam-up
is one of the rankest in the city.
a meeting between Busby and
Austinites is planned for the near fu-
ture, at which, time some plan for
betteTment will be worked out. There
is a chance TOR BUsby to grab on a
chunk of good will.

REPORTS
ATTEMPT To

American Attach Tow Lines

But 1t SinkS-Fate of
Crew Left in Doubt.
international News Service:

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a
The sinking of a German u
boat by United States destroy
er was announced today by Sec'y
of the Navy Daniels.
The perisCope of the Subma-
rine was sighted by the ships
lookout 400 yards ahead. The
commander of the American
ship ordered full speed ahead.
Depth charges were dropped and
high columns of water were
thrown into the air. Then the
destroyer opened fire with her
guns. The fire was not returned
by the U-boat.
The sinking OF the U-boat was re-
ported 70 the navy department by
Vice Admiral Sims, in command of
the destroyer squadron in foreign
.
little confused.
U-BOat Badly Damaged.
After the first depth charge had
been dropped the submarine ap-
peared on the surface of the sea
about 500 yards from the destroyer.
Apparently the boat was badly dis
abled. Fire was directed against
the craft by two American destroy
ers-one Smelling her from a long
distance.
Reference is made in Admiral
Sims report TO attempting to tow
the U-boat TO port"
1t is assumed this attempt was
made by one of the American de-
stroyers. The submarine was so
badly damaged by the American fire
that she sank shortly after towlines
had been fastened TO her.
Crews Fate Mystery.
What happened TO the crew Of
the submarine was not made clear
by Sec'y Daniels. The navy depart
ment has adopted the British policy
OF declining to give out any infor-
nation as to the fate Of the crew
of captured or destroyed U-boats
The purpose of Withholding this
news is TO create anxiety in the
minds of the German people and to
encourage the spirit of mutiny
among V-boat crews. Several re-
bellions among crews of the kaiser's
underwater craft when they were
ordered to sea have been reported
from German submarine bases on
the Belgian coast.
1t was believed by naval experts
that after the submarine was so
badly damaged that further resist
ance seemed useless the white flag
Of surrender was hoisted from the
coming tower. Probably all mem
bers Of the submarines crew not
killed by American shells were taken
prisoners aboard the American de-
strOyers.

MURDER CASE JURY
A REPRESENTATIVE
BODY OF CITIZENS

Even with the strong evidence which
confronted William Carter as the slay-
err Of Peter Jelvek, many believed that
the death sentence would not be i'm
posed
The impression prevailed that #
was not possible to get II men to-
gether big" enough to reach the
death verdict, even though the defend
ant deserved the punishment. There
fore, the jury in the Carter case pre-
sents an interesting study. 1t will be
noted first that the jury was selected
/ from men in all walks Of life and that
no two had the same occupation or
trade.
1t is natural to suppose that the
jury was largely influenced by the ey-
idence Of Hellvard Bangstod, room
mate of Jelvek's, who positively iden-
titled Carter as the Negro who enter
ed the room and fred the fatal shot,
This eliminated all circumstantial as
poets of the case. Court attaches hold
that the action OF Carter In completely
repudiating the confession he made,
also created an impression on the
jury.
Following will be found the names
of the members of the jury who re-
turned the first death penalty in Rock

1t was just one month and one day
after the shooting occurred that the
jury last night brought in the verdict
finding the Negro guilty and decree
ing that he shall go to the gallows to
answer for his crime.
Police cleaned up the preliminary
work Immediately following the shoot
ing in short order Within one-half
hour after Carter left the Eberhart
rooming house with his smoking pistol
in his hand, Patrolmen Durham and
kell had picked him up.
Eight hours later Detective Tom Cox
had secured complete confession
from him and had gone to his room in
Davenport, where he found d large
amount of jewelry and other articles
which it was claimed had been stolen
in recent burglaries in the tri-cities
Police were confident that Carter had
been responsible for a number OF
proving jobs in Rock Island, there
having been previous to the murder
