AMERICAN COLLIER
WHIPS SUBMARINES

An Atlantic Port, July H.
"The bombardment of st. Michaels,
Azores, on July 4, by German sub
marine was at first thought to be a
Fourth OF July celebration by Ameri-
can naval ships in port" said the
captain of British steamship from
Lisbon and st. Michaels, which ar
rived here today. The firing began
early in the morning, he said, but Al
the shells commenced to explode
over the city the illusion that 1t was
part of an Independence day prog
RAIN was quickly dispelled.
An American collier in port re-
turned the submarines fire with such
precision and volumne that the
undersea craft soon submerged. The
British steamship captain, who was
an eyewitness of the fight, said that
the U-boat was 500 feet long and
carried two guns. One girl and a
man were killed in st. Michaels by
German shells.

do all in their power towards max
ing the premiums as attractive as
possible and will show the exhibitors
all the favors they can to help build
up the agriculture of this County.
Ohio County is strictly an agricul-
tural county and we should do all
we can to promote agricultural in
terests, and one of the best ways to
do this is through the County Fair
Show our people what we are doing
i'm our county, that we are not asleep.
We have some as fine hogs, cattle,
sheep, goats, horses, mules, poultry
and all kinds of live stock, corn,
wheat, oats rye, barley, cotton, to-
bacco, soy beans, alfalfa, timothy.
redtop, sweet clover and vegetables
as you will find anywhere, and lets
get these things up in good shape
and exhibit them at the fair and show
our people and other people what
we can do in Ohio County.
We ought to have the whole fair
grondus covered with these things
and make 1t interesting and instruc-
tive for the people when they come
to the fair. Then some of our prog
ressive merchants should get dis
play of some of their most modern
and improved farm implements of all
kinds to show the people and per-
haps by doing so make a good many
sales they would not otherwise make.
~ You will notice the Fair Co.. pro-
pose to put on sale each day any live
stock that you may have for sale,
a feature which should be of great
service to you If you will only use it,
to dispose of your fine stock.
hope you will begin at once to
prepare for this fair something for
exhibition and bring in stock and
farm products for all over the county
and make this the greatest fair from
an agricultural stand point we have
ever had in this county. Then come
to the fair and see these things and
go home from it resolved that We
will surpass anything in exhibits we
had next year. BY doing this you
can build up your county faster than
most any way.

participating in the Woman's Party
"Bastile Day Demonstration" in
front of the White House, were sent
enced in police court to-day to serve
sixty days in the District of Colum-
bia workhouse for obstructing the
sidewalks.
The women were given the alter
native of paying s25 fines, but they
promptly refused the offer and were
taken to the workhouse>at Occoquan,
Va, and turned over to a matron
who saw that each got shower bath
and exchanged her clothes TOR a
heavy one-piece prison dress. To-
morrow they will be assigned to the
sewing room of the prison, where
they will work seven hours daily.
Tonight the party's headquarters
here was in a furry of uncertainty
over the question whether the women
should be permitted to serve their
sentences without protest or whether
the cases should be appelaed.
Early in the evening there was a
positive, announcement that there
would be no appeal, but later that
was recalled and it was said there
probably would be no decision until
tomorrow.
Altho no one at the headquarters
would confirm it, there were indicta-
tions that the course of the women's
friends might be determined finally
by the attitude of Dudley Field Ma
lone, Collector of Customs at New
York, who came here to testify for
the women, and later asked the court
to be permitted to act as their coun-
sci. The request was granted. Police
Judge Mullowny giving him temper
airy authority to act as a member OF
the Washington bar, but instead of
taking any legal steps on behalf OF
the women, Mr.. Malone vent to the
White House for long conference
with President Wilson.
What happened at the conference
was not revealed, but Mr.. Malone
came awey visibly perturbed. and
there were many rumors that he had
resigned his collectorship and would
take up actively the fight of the
suffragists, who repeatedly have been
in police court during the recent
weeks for their demonstrations at
President Wilson's doorstep, These
rumors Mr., Malone himself would
neither deny nor affirm.
The Collector spent nearly an hour
With Mr., Wilson. When he depart
ed from the Executive Offices his face
and manner showed evidence of
great emotion and he walked rapidly
away leaving taxicab which had
brought him from his hotel standing
at the gate.
