Their execution ended months of desperate efforts by the British government to save Mackay on the ground his kidnap victims had not suffered bodily harm and that, therefore, the death penalty was not warranted.

Washington, May 22--(UP)-The republican vice presidential nomina- ton is pointed to the eastern half of the country today almost as sure- iy as top place on the ticket Is re- served for a farm belt or far vest ern candidate.
 There will be no lack of available men when the republicans pause for 6 Cleveland breathing spell next month after naming their candidate for president.

Raleigh, Aug. 2O.-AutomObile acct
dents took toll of Is lives in North
Carolina in July, while 681 persons
were injured in total of 500 acct
dents, according to figures released
today by Captain Charles D. Farmer,
of the State Highway Patrol. In July
of last year, SO persons were killed
and 528 injured in $50 accidents. Thus
six more persons were killed, 1853
more injured in 237 accidents in July
of this year than in July, 1885.
The July figures bring the total
number of automobile casualties for
the first seven months of 1896 to SD
killed and 1929 injured in 1888 acct
dents, as compared with $40 killed and
and 3,423 injured in 1881 accidents
for the corresponding seven months
of 1885. A comparison of these fig
ures show that in the first seven
months of this year 35 fewer persons
were killed in automobile accidents
than in the same seven months in
1885, but that COG more were injured
in 9O2 more accidents.
Farmer Comments.
When asked how he explained the
fact that fewer people were killed, al
though there were more accidents,
Captain Farmer said:
Il am not sure that we have had
any more accidents this year than
last, but am inclined to believe the
difference is due to the fact that more
accidents are being reported, espe-
cially minor accidents in which no
one is killed, but in which people are
frequently injured. Another factor is
that the traffic has been much
heavier this year than last, espe-
cially in June and July, and heavy
traffic always reduces speed. Thus
when cars do crash, they do not hit
as hard as they would at higher
speeds and fewer people are killed. I
am also convinced that on the whole
people are driving more carefully

Germans To

Will Use F orc e
Against Force To
Prevent Search of
German Steamers

Berlin, Aug 20 (AP)-German
warships in Spanish waters were ord
cred tonight to meet all "unjustfi-
able acts" with force. Admiral Carl,
commander of the Nazi warships,
wirelessed the commander of the
Spanish government fleet and advis-
ed him he had given the order to
rerply to acts of force with force.
The stringent orders followed a
curt Nazi ultimatum in which Mad
rid was warned the German warships
would take "all means" to prevent
repetition of such incidents as the
reported search of the German steam
er Kamerum on the high seas.
German naval achievements in the
shape of seven warships now are en-
route to Spain.
Admiral Carl's radiogram read, in
part:
"The action against German ship
is a breach of the right of free ship
ping on the high seas.
II am not disposed to tolerate such
acts of force.
II have instructed my sea forces
to meet all unjustifiable acts Of force
from your ships with force"

C. 0. P. PUBLICITY

BY CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer


Washington, Aug. 2O.-Many Re
publican adopts in the science of poll
teal campaign arrangements COM
plain of conditions of frightful con-
fusion at C. o. P. headquarters in
Chicago.
Illustratively, it seems that the ma
tional committee has three publicity
divisions:
1. Publicity proper.
2. Public relations.
3. Research.
Among these three, critics say,
there is no unity, of purpose; they
operate Independently of one another,
and actually conflict to some extent.
LACK OF MANAGEMENT
I got my initial hint of the exis-
tence of this mixed up state Of af-
fairs from a very loyal Republican
who was connected with the G. O.
P.'s publicity organization in Presi-
dent Hoover's day and during the
1892 campaign.
He is a highly intelligent young
newspaperman. He always knew and
confidentially admitted that Hoover
ian publicity was terrible; that the
Californian was an almost impossible
candidate to advertise favorably-in
1892 anyway. He is not jealous of his
party's present publicity setup, for he
has much better job now than he
could get under it's auspices. He SIM
ply is an impartial commentator. Inn
partial, except that it is to his bust
ness interest to have Governor Lam

entOmbed since $3.50 p. m Tues
day in a gaseous coal mine near
this central Missouri city. :. :.
Odds against survival of the
imprisoned men grew hourly.
They were trapped by fire which
caused the vertical main shaft to
crumble. At the bottom of that
shaft the rescue crews tOiled. The
four were caught i'm one of two
horizontal tunnels leading away
from the base of the debris-chOk-
ed shaft. Unless they barricaded
themselves in some recess, little
hope was held that they escaped
the deadly gas fumes now filling
the mine.

Washington, Aug. 20. - (AP)-In-
creased Federal income in every inn

survey Of internal revenue collections

(By The Associated Press.)

(By The Associated PresS.)
Germany issued flat ultimatum to-
day to the Spanish Socialist govern
ment that German warship command
ers would take "all means" to prevent
the illegal search of vessels flying the
Nazi swastika.
The warning resulted from the re-
ported search revealed yesterday of
the Reich's Kemerum outside Span
ish territorial waters off Cadiz.i
In Rome it was reliably reported
Italy was delaying rehabilitation of
the class of 1914 recruits and 100000
troops were ordered into war games.
Such steps, it was said, resulted
from Italy's determination to present
a strong front against the possibility
the socialist regime would be vic
torious in the Spanish war.
The new aspects of both German
and Italian attitudes toward gen
eral European neutrality caused
France to regard with pessimism the
chances of completing a proposed pact
of non-intervention in the Spanish
civil war, in which rebel Fascists
seek to overthrow the present Madrid
socialist government.
