 Negro Bad Actor.
 By 10 o'clock there was little in. dication down town that aught out o1 the ordinary had occurred.
 George Vicks, the negro, is believ ed to have been demented. This wal not the first time he had gone or such rampage. About three months ago he started firing indiscrimately and call was sent to the sheriff. office. Deputies J. L. McBurnet and John Calvin were sent out. Wick! had sought hiding place just out side the cellar where he found refuge from flames and bullets for a tim' last night.

WILSON IS CREDITED WITH HAVING SEEN
 SUB MENACE FIRST
Daniels Tells How President Advised War on HOr-
 nets Nest
CALLS CONGRESS- SINCE
 1918 A GOLD BRICK
Dishonest Appeal to Hyphenated Pol. tics Enabled Them to Win at the Polls, He
 Says

New York, Feb. 5.-President Will son was given credit here tonight by Secretary Daniels, speaking at the democratic club dinner to National Chairman Homer s. Cummings for having seen the necessity of shut ting German submarines off the seas as the only effective method of combating them before naval staffs "on either side of the water" moved to that end.
 You must shut up the hornets in their nests," the president was quot ed by MT. Daniels as having said in a quarter deck speech to officers of the battleship Pennsylvania, early in the war, "for you can never end the submarine peril if you let them out and then have to devote yourselves to chasing them all over the ocean,"
 "The barrage finally. built across the North Sea-" MT. Daniels said twas the American navy's answer to the presidents counsel. It was pro- posed by Admiral Benson and Ad- miral Mayo, the general beard, the secretary of the navy and the presi- dent. It was the greatest new con structive naval measure of effective ness in the whole war. It was fact or both in destroying the morale of the German navy and in it's deadly destruction of submarines"
 President Wilson had also pointed out before naval staffs had reached that conclusion, MT. Daniels said "that the only way to most surely safeguard merchant ships was to send them in convoys protected by armed ships"
 The secretary attacked the record of congress since 1918 when dis honest appeal to hyphenated poh- tics enabled the republicans to elect a majority of this congress-, and declared the people had "already found they got a gold brick. "That record, he characterized as certain to defeat the republican party next November, "as it is certain that the democrats will have the wisdom to go forward and nominate a great leader who is himself a platform ot constructive legislation"
 MT. Daniels said he believed that league of nations such as that proposed in the treaty, would enable the world to maintain peace with out competitive naval building but that without such league American duty was as plain as pike staff. 7 He quoted President Wilson's state. ment in 1916 that the navy should be "incomparably the most adequate navy in the world," and added tha, none of the present American build. ing program would be delayed ol abandoned.

With the report yesterday of 31 new cases of influenza, the largest number so far reported in single day, Dr. Fred c. Powell, city phy- sician, declared last night the dis ease is spreading here at a rate that makes caution on the part of every individual a necessity.
 "The disease is in mild form,' J he said, "but is spreading at much more rapid rate than we would care to see."
 He declared that conditions did not yet warrant the closing of schools theatres and other public places.
 "Persons should be extremely care ful whether in their homes or out side" he declared. "Not only is il necessary for each man, woman and child to safeguard himself, but it is also necessary for them to consider the health of others"
