NO. 268. Mitt IM KO 61 11 1051 French Navy Suffers Another of Long Series of Marine Tragedies. CHERBOURG. FRANCE, June B. One of the worst disasters in the long series of accidents that has marked the use of the submarines in the French navy occurred near here today when the submarine Vendimaire was struck by the battleship St. Louis and sank in 180 feet of water. There were three officers and 24 enlisted men aboard the tiny craft when she was sent to the bottom and there is no hope that any of them are alive. At the time the disaster occurred a squad of battleships was engaged in maneuvers with the submarine fleet. According to the commander of the St. Louis, a large gash was cut in the shell of the submarine and she sank immediately after she was struck. As soon as he reported the nature of the accident a dispatch was sent to the ministry of marine at Paris stating that there was no possibility of saving any of those on board tile vessel. Within an hour after the accident had been flashed here by wireless, powerful ma * chinery and dredges were hurried from the harbor and divers were sent out «n the fastest torpedo boat in the harbor. The divers, however, were able to descend only a short distance and reported to Admiral Fournier that the only way As bringing up the vessel would be to drag for her with grap pling hooks. - Plates Smashed,, Experts Assert. Tie ripkiliy with which the vessel sank mt i ated that her plates were sm tslted and the submarine experts here declared that even if the crew su’. coded in closing her water-tight compartment they would be unable to survive for any length of time. The Vendimaire's equipment was held insufficient to safeguard the crew’s lives for more than a few hours. During the last few years more than a half dozen French submarines have either foundered through structural defects or been sunk in collisions. Two years ago the French submarine Plu jvius collided with a channel steamer off Calais and went to the bottom. Twenty-six lives were lost in that ac cident. The Pluvius was of the same type as the Vendimaire. When tiie accident occurred experi ments were being made in approaching battleships with submarines. The St. Louis, warned that the Ven dimaire would try to "sink” her, had orders to keep a sharp lookout and dodge her if possible. So that under the belief that the under..ater craft his boat ahead. Suddenly the sub stern, the captain of the St. Louis sent has boat ahead. Suddenly the sub marine was seen to rise to the sur face. She was seen too late. The bow of the St. Louis was only a short dis tance from the submarine when she was sighted. The engines were re versed on the battleship, but the crash was inevitable. When ii came, the submarine sank it once. I ’ • . 77/E SCORE CARD FOR TODAY’S BASEBALL GAME AT PONCEY PARK ' ZYYZ~~~~~ 1 TTT? 1 f] ? aTaT A A ATLANTA. Yy- Yy- Y*Y Y> Y> Yx YX _ Bailey, If. ...

Many unceasing ties of friendship Bind our hearts together Where we may eat the turkey— Ail but the bone and feather. William Lee Popham. Back to that dear old Central Lecture circuit, where there are none of those meddlesome Atlanta police to hurl rocks into the epitome of romantic hon eymoon; back where the dogwood blos soms lure to live-long lyrics and there are no more $11.41 surety bonds to give—back there has gone the evan gelist-poet laureate of Kentucky, love singer of the ages, William Lee Pop ham, with his pretty bride, Maude Mill er Estes that was. The young Narcissus arose in his room at the Terminal hotel this morn ing at 5 o'clock, dashed off the gemlet quoted above the thirteen other verses, packed his two trunks and the treasure chest containing his own masterpieces, and demanded that the hotel manage ment pay him $25 for the slights it put upon his respectability when it caused his arrest as an eloper two days ago. The hotel refused. The management admitted Poet Popham was probably the truly wedded husband of Miss Es tes, as he claimed, but it said that it couldn't pay him the $25. Makes Final Plea For $11.41. Whereupon Mr. Popham went over to the mayor's office to make a last plea that the mayor refund him that $11.41 the city retained because he did not appear at the police court at the spe cific time to prove that he had really married Miss Estes nearly a month be fore he first appeared in Atlanta. At the mayor’s office they told the poet-evangelist that they would be glad to do anything in their power to clear up the alleged stain upon his escutch eon, but they said they couldn't pay him hack the money because that was up to the recorder. Thence straightway to Acting Re corder Preston went Popham and re iterated his appeal. ‘‘That's all up to the mayor,” said the recorder. "That money of yours was turned over by the police a day ago, so it’s all out of my hands now.” "Then I want to be tried on the charge your police made against me,” said Popham. "I want you to send down to McDonough and get the ordi nary there to come up here and prove we were married there on May 11 and that no one had a right to cast asper sions upon our respectability by ar resting me at the hotel." ’Mid the Sighing Pines. But the recorder told Mr. Popham that it was now too late for a trial, because the charges had been quashed. He was sorry, he said, but the matter wasn't up to him at all. Down in southern Georgia, where the pines sigh langourous lullabys of love and the nightingales sing—oh. so soul fully. there’s the little town of Arabi nestling on the dunes.

HAVANA, June B.—Reports reached here today that Cuban rebels have fired on the eamps of American marines at Guantanamo city and Cobre mines. The rebels caused no damage or cas ualties and were driven back by the outposts, but more trouble is feared, as they know that the American marines have been forbidden to make any de cisive move. The attacking negroes are believed to be the same band that sacked and burned the town of Sanpie, near Guan tanamo. Cubans and Rebels Fight Near Havana HAVANA, June B.—A pitched battle was fought early today between Cu bans and negro rebels at Regia, across the harbor, a mile from this city. More than 100 shots were fired be fore the negroes were driven off by the whites, who climbed to the roots and fired at the blacks in the streets. Two hundred negroes were captured, but others have been reported to have been carried away. The daring of the negroes in begin ning depredations so near Havana is believed to presage an outbreak in this city. The Cuban Veterans’ association to day voted to class as traitors all mem bers who join the uprising. The vet erans have been the most hitter politi cal opponents of President Gomez. 17th Infantry Is Ready to Entrain Officers and men of the Seventeenth infantry at Fort McPherson are con tinuing preparations for service in Cuba, constantly expecting an official order to entrain for Savannah. Officers both at headquarters and on the reser vation beli< ve the expedition to Cuba is certain. The railroads will be asked to sup ply three special trains. Several Pull mans, a number of tourist sleepers or day coaches and several stock cars for the horses will be required. Either the Central or the Southern will handle the trains. Both are known to be as sembling cars. The regiment will not march through Atlanta on the way to the trains, for it has its own spur track on the reser vation and the trains will be made up there. The Eleventh cavalry, from Fort Oglethorpe, will entertain at its reserva tion near Chattanooga. HUSBAND, LEFTWITH NINE CHILDREN ON HIS HANDS, GETS DIVORCE MACON, GA., June B.—Charles A. Annis, formerly of Forsyth, the father of nine children, ranging in ages from three to tv nty years, has been granted a divorce i\- t he Bibb superior court be cause his wife’s "love and tender re gard has grown cold and turned to hate." These were his own words on the stand. He was also given the cus tody of the children. He says that, after 22 years of married life, his wife suddenly took an aversion to him, and left him with the children on his hands. Mrs. Annis did not contest the suit.

All Atlanta Awakes A-Shivering: Drop of 15 Degrees Last Night Mercury at 57 Early Today, and Sunday Will Be Bright and Cool. < That chilly feeling that Atlantans had early today and the awakening de sire for last winter’s suit of clothes was real and tangible, according to official weather records, for between 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and 6 o'clock to day the mercury fell 15 degrees. It was just 57 degrees above zero at 6 ' o’clock this morning, and that was quite a drop from the balmy tempera ture of 72 degrees that existed yester day afternoon. The sudden change in the weather is described as a "Cool Wave" and not, as some suppose, as a “Cold Wave. The latter is peculiarly a mid-winter term and weather officials do not like to apply it to weather in the summer time, no matter how low the mercury . may drop. F‘s tomorrow the skies will be clear i and the weather will be cool, not as I chilly as today, but delightfully cool and lacking all the usual uneomfort ■ able humidity that has brought beady -1 drops to the brow of loafer as well as i toiler.

IXTR4 PRICE TWO CENTS TEBOVGCING ii cm TOFIGHT BOSSES Friends Admit Now That He Will Take Field Following Steam Roller Work. * INDIANA CONTEST, OLD STATE FEUD, ON TODAY Rumor of Planned T. R. Dem onstration Brings Out Spe cial Police Guard. CHICAGO, June B.—The Republican national committee went into session at 10:12 a. m. Its first official business was the seat ing of the Taft delegates from the Third Arkansas district. , < HICAGO, June B.—With a special detail of plain clothes police especially gathered to prevent impolite Roosevelt politicians from throwing stones in its way, the steam roller was ready today for its second trip. The police were called to prevent any personally con ducted demonstration against the en gineers, firemen and laborers about the ( roller succeeding. The precautions were taken when it was known that 1 William Flynn, of Pittsburg, would be 1 here today. The roller is being made ready for a _ long trifi. It is to go the entire dis tance. This became known when ef forts to compromise the Indiana situa tion were brought to a sudden and jarring termination. The Roosevelt people say they turned down an offer ifrom the Taft crowd. The Taft people assert that they don’t need to com promise and made no offer, but that they did refuse to listen to a Roosevelt proposition over a contest that involves Sub-committee Chairman Harry New, _ former Vice President Fairbanks, for mer Senator Beveridge and a number of congressmen and former congress- A men and lesser politicians. s Beveridge was hastily summoned last >f night to come to Chicago. He will be n one of a number of Roosevelt men who r will attend a general council of war that will plan the specific moves to be made just before Colonel Roosevelt s himself appears on the scene. For Roosevelt is coming. Even the Roosevelt men here admit that today. ( The admission came after a long dis tance telephone conversation with Oys e ter Bay. e The colonel will be on hand by the . middle of next week. By that time the intention of the steam roller engineers to continue their "joy ride" liver the 11 Taft delegates will be fully demon strated, the Roosevelt leaders say, and - any action that the colonel may take will be a protest against the "machine _ methods employed against him." e No Love Lqpt Between Managers. In the meantime there will be plenty s of protesting by the rest of the con -11 tingent. One thing is admitted freely n on all sides. The breach between the two ./actions is widening every hour o tliafefthe pre-convention fight continues. ’- Posteibility that it may be healed has been dismissed even in the fusillade of
