 The chamber of commerce and con sulates at Pernambuco are devoting much attention to the care of the ship wrecked crews. There is no confir- nation whatever of the alleged loss of 400 lives

According to reports circulated here, the officers of the Japanese ship captured were shot on account of the resistance they offered. Another re- port says that 22 English stokers were compelled to work in the engine room of the raider.
 The vessel referred to in the foregoing as the Tredegar Hall is probably the Netherby Hall, whose sinking by the Ger man raider was announced by the British admiralty There is, however, Trede- gar Hall, which was last reported at Car diff wales, on December g.

VIEW IN WASHINGTON

Washington, January Alderman embassy officials believed it possible
 that the steamer St. Theodore, re- ported to have been captured by a
 German raider in the south Atlantic and sent away In charge of a prize crew, might soon appear in some
 American port
 The embassy had no official informa-
 tion concerning the operations of the raider: 1t being said that neutrality regulations of the United States would prevent the receipt of an important wireless message from the raider or from the vessel itself, if one had been

Board of Revenue Takes Nasty Action Measure Requiring h Judges of the Consolidated Court to Check in and

py CHARLES H. HANDY

sent a note to the board of revenue thanking them for their prompt ac- tion in the matter and stated that on looking further into the law, he was of the opinion that the board of reve- Inue constitutes court. and that as he had charge of all the courts of the county. he therefore made a second requisition for time marking clock so that the members of the board of revenue could check in and check out like the judges.
 It is really hard to imagine more sur prised quntette of public servad5s than the members of the board of revenue when the second requistion was read As the morning session was nearing it's close they lounged about somewhat listlessly, but when the full import of the second communication dawned on them they be- came exceedingly alert.

 The members discussed the proposition pro and con and finally took refuge in that good old standby, taken under ad- visement, and referred the matter to Bill Terry. White Gibson and Ben Davis, the county attorneys. for legal opinion.
 When the board adjourned for lunch all the members left the meeting room except Frank Hewitt and President Jere Gwin. Frank took few puffs from his old reliable Missouri meerschaum and quietly asked:

Was Not Billingsley


 Montgomery, January 17.-(specIal.) Another effort to find c. H. Billingsley, wanted here on a charge of embedding public funds while clerk of the food and drug bureau of the state department of agriculture, has failed. The man arrested at Lawton, Okla, slast week is not Bill kingsley and has been relea sed. Capt J. F. Irwin, state agent, who went to Law ton Saturday night, has advised Mont gomery officials that the man was not Billingsley, though good double of him, Photographs of the man under arrest which were exhibited at the capitol last week convinced all state employees that the man was not the one wanted. How ever, Governor Henderson would not take a chance, as Billingsley is wanted for embedding about s12,oo0. This is the sec ond time in a year that person has been arrested accused of being Bilingsley. The other was held at F1oydada, Tex, last years.
