 The British information bureau publicly announced that the great est disaster that had overtaken the British fleet since the outbreak of the war occurred the previous day when the attacking fleet ran into a school of floating mines that had been set adrift on the tide by the Turks. The British lost two battleships and their crews; one battleship was disabled. A French battleship was lost and most of her crew perished. The loss of life was placed at 1,500.

Max Baer, former heavyweight cham
pion, and Joe Louis, sensational negro
of Detroit, will face each other in the
squared circle.
Baer is not given much chance to
win because of his execrable showing
against Braddock, who wrested Baer's
crown. Many critics thought Baer
had lost his wallop, due to weakened
hands, but subsequent X-ray pictures
showed his maulers were not affected.
However, it seems in the last few
days that the odds against him have
shortened and the two men may enter
the ring at even money. 1t is evil
dent that Baer is taking this match
more seriously than any of his prev
ious ones. He has betaken himself
to secluded quarters for training and
declares no 21-year old boy can click
him. But Max's styles of fighting,
according to some judges, is made
to order for the colored man. Max
delivers his right from almost the
floor, leaving himself wide open. 1t
is generally thought Louis will step in
and send haymaker to the chin which
will make short work of his white foe.
Baer, tho, has proved his ability
to "take it," and if Louis finds his
best blows received with a smile, Max
may wear him down, and finally get
the verdict. Great interest is mani
tested in the "go," and gate receipts
are expected to reach 100000.
just as the United States had about
given up hope for regaining the Davis
Cup, tennis trophy, the chances are
improved one hundred per cent by a
victory over the English expert, Per-
ry, who was supposed to be invincible
and stay so as long as he remained
in the amateur ranks. Wilmer Alli-
son was the one who took the Briton
into camp, and in straight sets, at that.
1t is true, Perry sustained fall in
the first set which, according to re-
ports, 'loosened his kidney" but it
is noticeable there is no disposition
to detract from Allison's splendid
play, by reason Of his opponents in
jury.
With Bulge, "Bitsy" Grant, frankie
Parker, Allison and Shields, the Uni
ted States has bunch to be reckoned
with, and next year may see the covet-
ed prize resting once more on Ameri-
can soil.

SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT
AT new CHURCH, VA.

Shortly before six o'clock Thursday
evening, a truck loaded with lumber,
turned over at New Church, seriously
injuring one man, and in lesser way,
two others.
The accident, as reported was
caused by the sudden entering of a
car on the main highway from side
road in New Church. The truck was
compelled, SO it is reported, to swerve
quickly to prevent collision, and was
capsized in the effort.
Henry Kelley, Of Powellville, Md,
one of the occupants of the truck, was
brought to Pocomoke dangerously
wounded, and, after first aid was rush
ed to Salisbury in the Pocomoke am
bulance.
Henry Jones, also of Powellville
was injured, and third, whose name
could not be learned was also hurt.
Kelley was terribly mangled and many
bones broken. His case was so SER
ious as to make his recovery doubt
full. At this writing, he is still living.

failing this, there was a feeling that
the law presented loop-hole for a
murderer to escape, and this the
"mob" was unwilling to have take
place.
There is another notable fact about
this-the lynching did not take place
on the Eastern Shore. Seems as if
there are specimens of poor white
trash elsewhere in these United States.
There must be back woods, skeeter
hollows, isolated districts and benight-
ed chimes in all states where the law
does not seem to desire quick hand
ling of outraged citizens.
In this case it looked as if the
"mob" was civilized enough to await
the due course of law, but the law
besitated and was lost. This country
has seen enough of such cases as the
Alabama negroes, the Fuel Lee case,
and others. Lynch law is as good as
any other for these, and it is pretty
sure that, no matter where such
crimes are committed, there will al
ways be a "mob" to deal out just
deserts.

NEGRO LYNCHINC

en- From Jail And Hanged
To A Tree

Another lynching, the result of the
claws delay" occurred last Tuesday
in Mississippi, the deed taking place
under the walls of the State Univer-
sity.
A negro was charged with killing
white man Gin cold blood" is said to
have confessed the crime. A jury of
inquest had been summoned, and af-
ter celebrating was dismissed without
coming to any decision. Then it was
that mob" (always mob)-strange
how so many citizens can form a mob,
and all be classed as blood-thirsty
villians-a mob of $50 people battered
down the Jail, captured the prisoner,
and make short work of him from the
limb of a tree.
Just what stood in the way of a
verdict is not known. If, as reported,
the negro confessed the crime, YER
dict could have been rendered in &C.
cordance with that testimony. But

or should have reduced the speed OF
his car to such an extent that would
permit him to stop within the assured
clear distance"
"Conceding that the truck driver
was negligent in parking his vehicle
on the road without lights, the decis-
ion held that "there is absolutely no
evidence of recklessness as that term
has been defined by this Court"
The Court held that the driver of
the car collided with the truck had
failed to comply with statute which
provides that mo person shall drive
any vehicle upon highway at a speed
greater than will permit him to bring
it to a stop within the assured clear
distance ahead"
In that statutory provision is en-
bodied the basic rule for highway SAT-
ETY.. The statutes words set forth the
law of common sense in the words
of the law Of the State.

CAR OPERATORS
MUST BEWARE
PARKED CARS
Criminal Negligence When Col
lisiOn With Unlighted Parked
Car Occurs

Court decisions are not always as
broad in their effects as they appear
to be. Often a judicial ruling which
seems to be far-reaching proves, under
close and expert analysis, to apply
only to one case and one very parti-
cular set of facts.
With that in mind, it is interest
ing to note recently reported de.
cision by the Supreme Court of Iowa
that was based on a highway accident
The decision, as outlined in Fleet
Owner, held that motorist who col.
lided with the rear of an unlighteG
truck parked on the highway while
driving at a rate of between 40 ane
80 miles an hour was guilty of con.
tributory negligence and could not re-
cover damages.
1t is stated the facts showed thu
motorist was blinded by the lights o.
an approaching vehicle and, in LOSING
visibility, crashed into the truck.
"When the plaintiff lost visibilit!
because of the lights of the approach
ing car" the decision stated in part,
che should have reduced his specs
so that when he lost all visibility h,
could stop Immediately. Had he dom
this the accident in question woul'
not have occurred.
"The approaching lights did not con
stitute a diverting circumstance ant
plaintiff should have either discovered
the presence of the parked truck il
the road in time to avoid q collision

FILLIBUSTERING
LATE SENATOR
LONG HARMFUL
Prevents Appropriation Of Mon
ey For Administration Of
Potato Law
CONTROL OF OUTPUT TO
BE TREATED AS FORMERLY

The late Senator Huey Long, seems
to have thrown monkey wrench into
the new Potato Law, by his filibuster
which defeated the efficiency bill
carrying five million dollars appropria
ton for the administration of the law.
The law seemed to be unpopular and
had not received full backing of the
AAA, and the lack of administration
funds from one source had not insti-
gated attempts to secure them else
where. Without the money, Secretary
Wallace pointed out there appeared
to be nothing to do but control pota-
toes after the fashion of other basic
commodities hogs, wheat, cot
ton and such.
There have been many protests
against Title 2 of the new act, which
would levy tax of three-quarters
of cent pound on all potatoes sold
in excess of national allotment after
December 1 next. This provision
brought forth predictions of boot
Logging trade in the commodity. And,
it was noted, that under this sort of
selling, appetite for potatoes might
be increased, even as a taste for liquor
was increased when bootlegging was
the source from which thirst could be
assuaged at figure within the reach
of the average citizen.
There's going to be hearing in
Washington on October 2 ito deter
mine whether potato program should
be developed under Title l Of the act,
and, if so, what such program should
include"
Title simply designates potatoes as
basic commodity and authorizes the
employment of the regular AAA meth
DDS of increasing agricultural income
through production regulation.
Pending decision with respect to
use of funds for the administration of
Title g." the Secretary's printed an
nouncement read, "a thorough inves-
tigation of possibilities for the assist
ance of potato prducers under Title
of the act is being made"
Among the questions to be consider
ed at the impending hearing, are
whether the purposes of the act would
be carried out by
Establishment Of a national allot-
ment with or without benefit payments
to producers.
Exercise Of the power to provide for
acreage adjustment through agree
ments.
Rental and benefit payments in con-
nection with agreements OF other vol
untary plans.
The possibility of the use of mar
keting agreements, such as now are
applied to milk, and the diversion of
potatoes from normal channels of
trade, or into by-products, also will
be considered at the hearing.

AS the 1895 base ball season comes
to a close, chief interest settles in
the close race between Chicago, st.
Louis, and New York for leadership
in the National League, the major
member of organized base ball.
This years outcome, so far, has
been a REPETITION Of last year. New
York took an early lead-so emphatic
lead as to cause many to predict
an easy winning of the pennant. But
as in 1884 the Giants cracked near the
goal, and st. Louis nosed her from the
lead.
st. Louis repeated history this year
but Chicago comes rushing in chang.
ing the events, and at this writing is
leading st. Louis by two full games
after a wonderful succession of vic
tories counting fifteen straight wins
However, New York is still within hal
ing distance and may make a change
in the standing.
In the American League, Detroit j:
about "in." With her lead of eight
games over New York, nearest com

GLASS HITS CRITIC
OF BANKING STAND
Former Senator Owen Accuses
virginian Of Using 'Unde-
served Prestige

Washington, Feb. 8.-(P)-An at
tack by Senator Carter Glass on an
unnamed critic and q reply by form.
er Senator Robert L. Owen served
Friday to keep the debate over the
treasury's banking bill to the fore
front.
Glass, who had said earlier in the
week that promise was broken when
the bill was offered on Capitol Hill
without his seeing q copy first, issued
q statement Thursday night saying
he resented being classed Is against
the bill before he had an opportunity
to read 1t.
He opened fire on q critic who, he
said. had charged him with usage
OF an "undeserved prestige" With
out mentioning any names, the Viz
ginian declared:
Il may say that whatever prestige,
II any, I may have was not gotten by
using my position as a member OF
the banking and currency commit
tee Of either house Of congress to
gamble In foreign exchange with q
prison convict nor In any attempt to
influence the action Of the federal
reserve authorities for my own pecuu-
iary benefit"
Former Senator Owen, now presi.
dent Of the national monetary con.
ference, had made q statement on
Tuesday saying Glass was using IN
uudeserved prestige as an expert In
monetary science against the public
interest"
