BOMBS ON HELIGOLAND
American Aviator Making Second
Flight When Four Of Enemy At
tackled.

Washington, May 22.-American
naval aviators are dropping bombs on
Heligoland, chief concentration base
Of the kaiser's submarines. That was
the conclusion of naval men here to-
day when it was officially announced
that Ensign Stephen Potter, U. S. n.
R. F. c., had met death i'll a spectacu-
lar battle over Heligoland Blight with
seven enemy aircraft.
Potter.and a companion battled gall
lantly against the V-shaped flying
wedge Of the Teuton=, and quit only
when his machine, in flames, came
crashing down on the porS wing.
The last seen Of him was on the
surface, surrounded by the burning
Gil. Suddenly cloud OF smoke OBJ
scured him, and. machine and man
disappeared completely.

BITTEN BY DOGS

Two little boys Of this city are now
being treated at the Naval Hospital
in Washington for dog bites. It is
said that six persons were bitten by
dogs at The Plains, Fauquicr county,
within one week.
People living in Rosemont are suf-
fering anxiety from the appearance
Of suspicious dogs in that section of
the city. Several years ago, it will
be remembered, several residents of
Rosemont were rendered anxious after
having been attacked by dogs sup
posed to have been suffering from
hydrophobia.
We are approaching the month Of
June when licenses for dogs must be
obtained, or their owners or harbor-
ers will be arraigned in the Police
Court. While the law requires the
payment OF tax Of one dollar and
a half for keeping q dog, the law also
provides for the proper muzzling of
such animals. Placing straps upon
the nose Of canine is improperly
muzzling the brutes, as such devices
40 not prevent dogs from biting.
AS is the case every summer, the
police will be kept busy arraigning
persons who may neglect to pay their
licenses or properly muzzling their
pets.

THE NEGRO AND HIS PISTOL

The killing Of three officers OF the
law by a desperate negro in Wash
ington Monday night has again ex-
asperated the people OF the Capital
City against present lax laws which
allows any irresponsible person to
purchase firearms al libitunl. Many
negroes either carry pistols Or keep
them in their homes. They are sup
posed to be essentials by the great
majority of blacks, while too many
equally irresponsible whites imagine
that pistol in the house is as neces-
sary as cooking stove.
Policemen Of Alexandria recently
had occasion to enter the house of a
negro who had committed 4 misde-
. neanor. In searching the place they
found the darkey kept two large pis-
tolls. They were seized and brought
to the station house, but having been
found inside his residence, nothing
could be done.
Many years ago member Of the
police force of this city was sent with
a warrant to arrest a negro. Almost
as soon as the officer O. the law en-
tered the house the negro produceI
pistol and attempted to kill the
policeman. The latter. however. was
too quick for the black, and after
knocking the weapon from his ham.
succeeded in arresting him.
Negroes will buy pistols, and at
this time, when work AZ advanced pay
is plentiful. this class have ample OPP
portunity to satisfy their taste. Some
shopkeepers are ready to meet their
wants, and lavish displays OF pistols
are features in some. windows.
The Washington Star in comment
ing upon the triple marder in that
city, among other things, says:
Right here it might be well TO say
that unnecessary deaths caused by
thugs owning reviewers have been pre-
dicted by officers Of this department.
for weeks, since encouragement in the
ownership and carrying Of concealed
weapons has been given by recent
police court decisions Diminishing cases
made by policemen in which men VIC
lating the law have been arrested"
"For years pleas have been entered

will give real protection to the COM

because Of the ease with which deadly
weapons can be obtained here in
Washington. This record or wasted
life will grow as long as it is posi-

STOLEN TRUCK
Is RECOVERED
Thieves Make Getaway With
Car But Abandon 1t At
Turtle Lake

Some time Tuesday night the new
Buick delivery truck owned by William
Jung was stolen from his garage at the
rear of the Vienna Bakery. The car
was not missed until Mr.. Jung wanted
to use it the next morning and by that
time the thief had apparently put many
miles between himself and Ladysmith.
A paddock on the door of the garage
was broken to get access to the car.
Dr. Landmark saw two men drive
the car out from West Third-st and
thence west along LalSe-av toward
Bruce shortly after 10 o'clock. At
about II o'clock the car was seen at
Bruce and about half an hour later at
Weyerhaeuser, where the thief, or
thieves, purchased five gallons of gaso-
line. At the latter place they stopped
their car on a side street and went to
the garage with a 5-gallon can and got
it filled with gasoline and brought it
back to the car.
After leaving Weyerhaeuser at about
midnight, no further traces of the car
were discovered and hope of recover
ing it had practically been abandoned
when word was received by Mr.. Jung
yesterday from Mr.. Madden, salesman
for the National Biscuit Co., who had
been here Wednesday and learned Of
the theft, stating that the car was at
a garage in Turtle Lake. The car was
abandoned on one of the streets of that
city and after setting there all day was
taken to the garage to await claim
ant. An employe of the garage drove
the car back to Ladysmith, arriving
here last evening.
MI. Jung had $500 insurance on the
car and rather amusing side-light on
the incident is the fact that Mr.. Jung
did not know his insurance covered
theft until SO informed by f. M. Doyle,
the agent.

AUTO HITS MOTORCYCLE;
DRIVER DOES NOT STOP

Eliza Gillen, a young man living near
Crane, was badly hurt while riding a
motorcycle Sunday afternoon when an
automobile collided with him on the
road west of the Flunker cheese fac
tory, near the ThOrnapple river bridge.
Gillen states that the car came careen-
ing down the road at high speed and in
his endeavor to pass safely Gillen was
forced away out to the ditch at the
right side of the road and even this did
not save him as the car Swerved over
just as it reached him and struck the
handle bar of his machine.
Gillen was thrown into the weeds at
the side of the road with the heavy
motorcycle on top of him and although
apparently no bones were broken sus-
tanned severe bruises and several cuts.
Whoever was to blame for the
collision, the driver Of the car demon
strated an utter lack of manhood i'm
failing to stop when he saw what had
happened. Gillen was dazed and. the
motOrist put ON speed and made his
getaway before anyone came along.
Another motOrist who came along a
few minutes later took Gillen home
and later in the day the young mans
father drove down with team and
took the motorcycle, which was cOnsid-
erably damaged, home.
