BERLIN, April 20.— It was officially
asserted here to-day that the Dutch
steamer Katwyk was sunk by a Brit
ish submarine masquerading as a
German boat, in order to cause a rup

The accusation is based upon a dis

"A description of the submarine
boat which torpedoed the Katwyk and
the behavior of its crew give reason
for believing it was of English na

“Information Has been received

Miller Likely
to Succeed
Andrews
WASHINGTON, April 20.—It is re
ported here that H. W. Miller, of At
lanta, assistant to the president, will
succeed 4he late Colonel A. B. An
drews as first vice president of the
Southern Railway, and in confidential
circles he is regarded as a strong
probability. It is solely In the hands
of President Fairfax Harrison to name
tha first vice president. He is now
en route home from the funeral of
Colonel Andrews at Raleigh.
Upon hib return President Harrison
may designate someone to discharge
the duties of first vice president tem
porarily, though this is not Impera
tive, as the regular meeting of the
board of directors will be held May
14, and then Colonel Andrews’ suc
cessor will be formally elected. The
board of directors will act favorably
uptrn whatever recommendation
President Harrison makes.
The first vice president’s duties are
to look after the legislative and taxa
tion business of the Southern, and the
new r vice president is expected to be a
man of wide acquaintance with pub
lic men and State and national af
fairs. Mr. Miller’s duties in his pres
ent capacity largely have to do with
such affairs. Also, he is well ac
quainted with the details of the first
vice presidents office, having ' been
chief clerk to Colonel Andrews pre
vious to his appointment as assistant
to the president, succeeding J. S. B.
Thompson, an Atlantan.

LONDON, April 20.—Further de

having run nground on Kephez Point
while reconnoitering the mine fields.
To-day's statement says that the
E-15 was torpedoed and rendered use
less by the British. This was done
to prevent its falling into the hands
of the Turks.

Czar Sends 600,000
Men to Carpathians
By FRANCIS LAVELLE MURRAY.
(Special Correspondent I nternational
New* Service.)
PETROGRAD, April 20.—Six hun
dred thousand new Russian troops
who had been held back from the
front until they could be given ade
quate equipment and training are
now being sent to the Carpathian
front. The difficulties of the Car
pathian campaign have rendered re
inforcements necessary in that region.
Some of the troops now in the
mountain ranges have been under fire
night and day for some time. Thou
sands have bet hausted by forced
marches throu; he rugged country’,
and despite the .tmost efforts of the
Russian commissary department, it
has been impassible to supply them
with the necessary food at all times.
When the advance against Hungary
is resumed the Russian army will
have with it cannon made in the
United Stages. These guns, brought
across the Pacific and through Si
beria, have arrived Lemberg and
are being transported to the South
western front from there.
As the Austrians, on their retire
ment from the San River, took wMth
them or destroyed all railroad equip
ment except the cars left at Prxemysl,
the Russians have had to replace this.
Thiee hundred cars have just been
finished and placed in operation on

fendant. The defense will proceed
along Its original lines. There was
not, and Is not now, any Intention to
deviate therefrom. Mr. Bowers in
the latter part of his argument w r as
simply discussing, the legal situation
w’hich attached to the article as pub
lished in the absence of an innuendo,
which, under well recognized rules of
law, requires, If possible, a harmless
construction of language, If such con
struction is considered by the court
to be possible.
Statement Purely Legal.
"The motion having been denied,
the defense will now proceed to prove
the allegations set up in the answer
of Colonel Roosevelt. The statement
was purely a legal one and in no way
changed the front to the legal facts.’ ”
Interact irt the case did not flag to
day. There w’ere 500 people, includ
ing many women, who waited in the
corridors of the Onondaga courthouse
for admisskn to the courtroom. But
Justice William S. Andrews’ orders
that only those who could find seats
be admitted were strictly adhered to
and those who did not get in quickiy
went away.
Only about 300 persons, 50 of them
newspaper men, could get in, and
naturally the excitement was not
great.
When Justice Andrews reconvened
court at 10 o’clock, William M. Ivans,
chief counsel for Barnes, fired the
opening gun of the l|gal battle w’hen
he delivered the opening speech for
the plaintiff. He said, in part.
"This is an action for libel. The
plaintiff in the case is William Barnes,
of Albany. The defendant Is Theo
dore Roosevelt.
"The court. I believe, will instruct
•you that all men are possessed of a
good name and reputation.
Good Name Property Right.
"That good name and reputation
are property—protected by our laws
governing property rights.’’
Mr. Ivans went on to say that Mr.
Barnes and Colonel Roosevelt were
common, ordinary citizens, despite
the fact that the one had been Re
publican State chairman of New York
and the other had been a Governor of
the Empire State and President of the
United States.
"This case is a simple one of pub
lished libel.” said Mr. Ivans. “I waot
to impress on you that the public
stations of these two litigants do not
in any way enter into the merits of
this case.”
Mr. Ivans reviewed the entire public
records of Barnes and Roosevelt, and
then said:
"We will show how. w’hen Mr.
Barnes found it impossible to agree
with the policies of Mr. Roosevelt, he
retired ifi 1914 from the chairmanship
of the Republican State .Committee.
Mr. Barnes and Mr. Roosevelt are
now’ plain, ordinary citizens of the
United States, and we expect you to
judge this lawsuit with that fact in
mind.”
Mr. Ivans then went into the Gu
bernatorial campaign of 1914 of Har
vey D. Hinman. of Binghamton, on
the Bull Moose ticket,
"I will read you.” Ivans said, "the
statement of Mr. Roosevelt about this
plaintiff. Mr. Barnes.
Wants $50,000 Damages.
"If It be true, this plaintiff has no
standing in court; if it be untrue,
then we expect you to find that Mr.
Roosevelt libeled Mr. Barnes to the
extent of $50,000 actual and punitive
damages.”
Mr. Ivans then read from the com
plaint the alleged speech by Colonel

original plea that the ’dinance was'
unfair, discriminatory nd unconsti
tutional.
City Attorney Mayson then filed a
demurrer to the injuiction proceed
ings, declaring that the ordinance is
fair and was passed only to insure the
safety of pedestrians. He said that
with the coming of the jitneys the
number of autos in the streets had
increased so that the danger to pe
destrians is much greater. The court
allowed the demurrer to be filed, hut
did not pass on it.
Called Confiscatory.
Colonel Felder, opening the argu
ment for the jitneys, declared that t'ne
jitney ordinance is prohibitory and
confiscatory, and, therefore, unconsti
tutional. He pointed out that the
most oppressive part of the ordinance
is the requirement of $5,000 bond to
insure payment of damages to any
person who might be injured by a
jitney. This, he argued, is discrimi
natory. in that no such requirement is
made of private aqj;o or taxicab op
erators.
He further argued that the ordl
nance requires the payment of occu
pation tax quarterly, and that It does
not conform with the uniform tax law
for automobiles. He also declared
that the State Legislature, nor the
City Council, has the legal right to
make a corporation insure its passen
gers, as the city ordinance requires
jilney operators to do.
WASHINGTON, April 20.—The end
of the reign in Mexico of General
Francisco Villa is in sight, according
to the general belief in official circles
to-day.
Consular dispatches to the State
Department confirm the Carranza
claims of a great victory by Gen
eral Obregon at Celaya. They told of
Villa's retreat northward. These re
port?; together with some other of
ficial, advices stating that the Car
ranza forces appear to be winning <»n
the west coast, strengthen the belief
that Carranza is about to ^ain the
ascendancy in the revolution-torn re
public, for the present at least. Other
reports reaching Washington have
indicated that Villa’s defeat has
caused his men to lose much of their
former respect for him, and that
thousands are deserting
Military experts believe that Villa,
with the remnant of his forces, is
making for the American border.
Border reports to-day indicated,
however, that Carranza soon may
have another revolt on his hands
These advices tell of a gathering
there of followers of the former dic
tator Huerta.
Police Ordered to
Curb Fast Driving
So numerous have complaints of
reckless driving become at the police
station that Chief Beavers Tuesday
issued a special order to the force to
rigidly enforce the Grant Rules-of-
the-Road law passed by Council five
years ago.
The Chief says it is important that
drivers keep on the right side of the
street and drive slowly. Automobiles
have been dashing through the
crowded streets, and the Chief would
curb them and other vehicles. He
also warns pedestrians to be careful
and to keep their eyes open.
Receipts for Hunting
Licenses Way Off as
Results ofGreatWar
It is pretty generally recognized
these days that war is what Mr.
Sherman said It was, hut you could
hardly get the game birds and ani
mals of Georgia to agree with you on
that proposition. Dull business in
Georgia, the result of the big war,
kept hunters at home during the last
season, because hunting licenses cost
money. r
Charles L. Davis, State Game and
Fish Commissioner, thus explained
Tuesday the fact that receipts from
hunting licenses for the 1914-1915
season, which closed Mareh 1, are 27
per cent under those for the preced
ing year, amounting to $16,679, as
against $23121. There were 7,044
county licenses sold, for which the
State received $5,283f 4,624 State li
censes, bringing $9,248 into the State
Treasury, and 179 nonresident li
censes, resulting in revenue of $2,148.
All counties have not* reported, but
the few from which returns are still
lacking will not make an appreciable
difference in the total returns.

Roosevelt, on which the libel suit is
based. * ’ +
During the reading Justice Andrews
perused a spring catalogue. The
Colonel paid deep attention, nudging
Mr. Bowers, his chief counsel, from
time to time.
Mr. Ivans read "Exhibit I” from the
complaint, the speech delivered by
Colonel Roosevelt on July 22, 1914, on
the newspaper publication of which
the libel suit is based.
'Good Government the Issue.
William H. Van Benschoten, of New
York, opened for Colonel Roosevelt.
He said in part:
"This is not a political suit; it is a
case of man to man. A money ver
dict on one side.or the other is incon
sequential as compared with the vital
proposition which comes home to
every man. woman and child in this
State as to whether good government
shall exist.
“On these facts and others we will
ask you to render a verdict which will
say to all citizens who believe in hon
est and clean government as against
bipartisan rules: ’You shall be pro
tected to the full extent of the law in
efforts you may make to secure and
maintain the kind and character of
government guaranteed to you by the
Constitution and the principles upon
which this State and nation are
founded.’ ”
Stops Stomach
Pains in Two Minutes
The recent discovery by a leading
specialist that pure bisurated magnesia
will almost instantly relieve pains in
the stomach resulting from indigestion,
dyspepsia or acidity is of thp greatest
importance to thousands of people suf
fering from various forms of stomach
trouble. As is well knowrt, nine-tenths
of all stomach disorders are directly
traceable to excessive acidity. A tea
spoonful taken in a little water after
meals not only neutralizes the acid and
stops the pain, but quickly overcomes
the cause of the trouble, soothes the in
flamed lining of the Btomach, and in a
short time effects permanent relief.—
