SWEARS WORDS OF MRS. CARMAN: “I SHOT HIM” (Continued from preceding page) waa dressed In a kimono and had a shawl around her neck. She told Elizabeth to go back Into the houße. Then Mr*. Carman went out the back door. A minute later I heard a crash of glass and the report of a pistol. Mrs. Curman came in again. “I Shot Him.” “J was standing In the door between the pantry and the kitchen. She said to me ‘I shot him.’ Then »he showed trie a black revolver that was about nine Inches long. I grabbed her by the arm and told her not to go Into the office She said *he was not going to do anything else. Then I went into the office. "A dead white woman was lying on the floor near the operating chair. Mrs. Carman followed me Into the office. She stayed there about hulf a minute and then went out to the watting room. I»r. Carman was there and »o was another nan. I went Into the kitchen and returned to the office In about a minute and Mr*. Powell (Mr* Carman's elnter) was In there. Then I went back Into the kitchen, finished washing the dishes and went to my room and went to sleep. At Daylight. "Next morning about daylight Mrs. Carman came to my room. She wore a night gown She said 'Oh, Celia, what did I kill that woman for; I hope God will forgive me. You stick to me and If anything happens to you I’ll take care of your little boy.’ “I saw Mrs. Carman later at the breakfast table and she wept. After breakfast she came Into the kitchen and told me to forget that I had seen Iter the night before. Later that day Mrs. Carman came in with her lawyer, Mr. Levy. Mrs. Carman winked at me when he asked mo what I knew. I told Mr bevy that l did not know anything. “Mr. Levy catne again the next day Before he came Mr* Carman told tn* to 101 l him I was not downstairs after dinner. .She wrote out some s*ate ment and I signed It without reading It, but h* read It. The statement was not true. The Day Aftsr. "The day after the murder Mrs. Carman eatne Into the kitchen and asked me to make a woodflre In the stove, which I did. I,a.tpr she came down stair* with a bundle of letters and burned them. That same day she told me to call her lather from the ham because she wanted him to get <*he revolver out of the house. Mr. Conklin, her father, came In and went to her room and then came down stirs. He had a hammer and returned to the barn. The next day, Wednesday, Mrs. Cnrnian came Into the kitchen and asked me to step Into another room. I went In and the detectives question ed me.” "Did you tell the truth at th# cor oner's Inquest?” the district attorney asked "I did not.” the witness answered. Tho district attorney then turned over tho witness to John J. Graham. Mrs. Carman's cotinsei. for cross ex amination. A crowd that eclipsed the previous day's throngs sought to enter the tiny court room today. Igi*s than 200 were aide to do so and nearly all these were women. Watehed Her Continually. Mineola, N. Y— A* Celia testified, Mrs. Carman sat hock in her chair nnd watched her continually. On cross examination Celia said she never had seen Mr*. Carman wear her kimono down stairs before the night of the murder. She said Mrs. Car man stood In the kitchen ten nr fif teen minutes before she passed out of the hock door nnd that the crash of glass and the shot occurred imme diately afterward. "Did you know whom she meant when she said 'I shot him’?" Mr. Gra ham naked “No, 1 did not." In Felds of Kimen*. Mrs Carman carried the revolver, the witness aald, hidden In th* folds of her kimono when she went Into the office. Mrs. Carman said nothing to any one, she added. She looked in and went out in about thirty aeonnds. Mrs. Carman did not express sur prise when she discovered ahe had killed a woman and not a man, the witness declared. Anything But Murder. Celia said she told Mrs. Carman the morning after the murder that "God will forgive anything but murder.” "Do you," asked Mr. Graham, "be lieve that God will forget vour per jury 7” "I know It is wrong to lie.” said tho negresa. “hut I did whst Mrs. Car , man asked me to do."

REFUSE SUBSTITUTES. I\ It) SUNKEN TORPEDO BOATS WERE OLD Germans Proud of Their Navy Now Since Sinking; Vessels of Little Value. Whites May Have to Fight Orientals Yet. Berlin (by wir«!c«« to Sayville).— Peter Naimeii, a well known Danish au ttutr, has declared that the rendering of dsnlHtance to Germany’s enemies by Jap anese, Indiana unrl Africans is suicidal in view of the policy of the white Tacea and that, the time may come when the white race* of Europe and the Amer icas will have to Join together in oppo sition to these orientals. This inform ation Is contained in press matter given out in official circles, which continues: “Although the news of the fate of the German torpudo boats S-115, 8-117, 8-118. and S-119, which were sunk by British worships off the Dutch coast, lihh arouaed feelings of deep regret throughout Germany, the loss of the ships will rather increase than decrease the pride of the Germans for their navy. The crews are much bemoaned, but the vessels were old and of little value. “Two Belgian majors told a war cor respondent of the Nleuwe Rotterdamsche Courunt that one-half of the Belgian army has been interned in Holland. A quarter of the whole army haH been deserted, they declare and the quarter is so disorganized that they are only a burden to the British and French armies. “Nearly all the Italian volunteers in the French army have returned to Itaiy during the past few days.” PROTEST ACTIONS FRENCH TROOPS German Government Declares Wounded Soldiers Have Been Killed or Mutilated by the Franc-Tireurs. Berlin, by wirelee* The Imperial government has sent a formal protest to France and to neutral nations con cerning alleged violations of the rules of the Geneva convention by French frans-tlreurs (sharpshooters) and reg ular troops. It is declared In this protest that the French have killed or mutilated wounded German soldiers; that they have fired on ambulances filled with wounded and hearing the Red Cross flag; that they have Invaded German hospitals, robbed the hospital staff and stolen the hospital equipment; that they have fired on German doctors who were gathering or attending to the wounded, killing aome of these medical men and taking other* cap tives and that they have captured a German field clergyman whom they treated as a common criminal This protest is accompanied by 15 affidavits from various German sol diers, physicians and Catholio field priests which support the allegations made therein. 18 YEAR OLDS IN FRANCE, 300,000 Bordeaux, 11:45 a. ns.—The French government, through the minister of public Instruction, has directed Baron Pierre de Coubertln, president of the French Olympic games committee, to organize the physical and military training of the young men of France and especially of those youths who would com* normally into the army In 191st These youths are 18 years old and thay numbeT between 275,000 and 300,- 000.

STRAUS SOUNDS WARNING IN R’Y RATE ADVANCE Tells Inter State Commerce Commission of Perilous Po sition of All American Se curities. Washington.—Cross examination of Frederick W Straus, a New York hanker, continued today when hear ings on the appeal for an advance in freight rates of railroads operating pearly 60,000 miles of lines In the east ern district, wer eresumed before the Inter-state Commerce Commission. Mr. Straits, who had stated that he appeared as an investment banker and Independently of the railroad efforts, told the commission he felt the neces sity of presenting to its notice the per ilous situation of all American secu rities held abroad because of the Eu ropean war. Railroad securities were the standard of all American stocks and bonds so held, he said, and their decline meant a general Incline and a shipment of gold to Europe that easily might end in the failure of the United States to meet Its obligations. Only a part of the membership of the commission was present at the third day of the rate advance case, the other commissioners being enga‘/d on routine matters which could not be displaced, but it was aparent every effort was being made to reach an ear ly decision on the railroads’ applica tion. Mr, Straus will be followed by sev eral other hankers, it Is understood. Officials of the Central Traffic Ar/o clatlon also will he heard. CONTINUE HOUSE STRUGGLE FOR COTTON REEIEF Supporters of Measures Suc ceed in Setting Aside Rule. Begin Consideration Lever Warehouse Plan and Com mercial Paper. Washington.—The struggle for cot ton relief legislation was continued In the house today. Representative Car ter Glass, chairman of the banking and currency committee, organized and directed the opposition to the, compromise plan under which $250,- 000,000 would be raised by an issue of treasury notes, or by the sale of Panama Canal bonds to be deposited in southern banks to aid cotton growers. The cototn relief supporters suc ceeded in setting aside the calendar Wedneaday under which consideration of the cotton plan would have been prevented for the day. Crairman Henry of Texas, moved to close all debate on the special rule brought in for consideration or the Lever coton warehouse bill, the Glass bill authorizing the issue of federal re serve notes on 100 per cent commer cial paper and the cotton relief com promise. Thereupon Representative Glass made the point of no quorum and a roll call was ordered to enforce attendance of absentees. The roll call disclosed a bare quo rum present and debate on the rule was closed by a vote of 120 to 95. All efforts to extend the time allowed under the rule for discussion of the bills failed and the consideration of the 100 per cent comemrclal paper measure was begun. Representative Rulkley for the hanking and currency committee supported the bill Lot op posed the amendment proposed by the cotton state* representatives. MEADOW CREST WINS PRIZES.

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY Violent attacks and counter attacks for possession of the seicoast in the extreme north of France continue without decisive results. Only one official statement—that from Paris —had come through early this afternoon. It threw little light on the situation, being brief and referring to events of yesterday. . The attacks of the Germans especially severe at Nleuport, Dixmu<*o and Labasse Tuesday, were repulsed, says the French war office. There was no noteworthy change elsewhere on the battle front. News dis patches indicate the sharpest fighting in the vicinity of Lille with a re newal of activity at vital points along the line. Counter claims regarding the situation hi the east leave much to speculation. There appears, however, little doubt that the German ad vance in Russian Poland has been so successful that Warsaw is serious ly threatened. Przemysl In Galicia, remains in the possession of the Austro-German forces. There has been a renewal of activity in Eastern Prussia without definite result. A statement from Vienna issued yester day says that the fighting in Central Galicia has become more severe and that the Austrian attacks are progressing. Turkey’s attitude is a matter of concern to all the belligerents. The Sublime Porte is reported to have forbidden warships to enter the Gulf of Smyrna. The inhabitants of Smyrna recently were said to have been in great fear of a naval attack. An Athens dispatch says two submarines and some aeroplanes are being shipped to Constantinople through Bulgaria. There are further rumors of a German intention to begin a great aerial campaign. Following reports that airsheds were being construct ed at Brussels and Antwerp, come rumors of similar buildings under way at Tondem, in Schleswig and at Rostock. 1 Under Asa Candler’s Cotton Plan 40 Per Cent Georgia Crop Taken Care oi Applications For Loans Pouring in on Central Bank & Trust Corporation, Controlled By Atlanta Millionaire---Will Handle One Million Bales? The following Is from the Atlanta Journal: Applications for loans on cotton continued to come to the Central Bank and Trust Corporation Tuesday, and it was believed the number of bales represented in the applications would double those of Monday, when the number was close to 3,000. A. P. Coles, vice president of the bank, said he had not gone through his correspondence, mall and telegraphic, and could not announce the extent of the morning's business. Some Idea of the magnitude of Mr. Candler’s plan to lend on cotton may be gained from the statement that the Central Bank and Trust corporation has as correspondents 400 banks In the state of Georgia. These hanks represent almost every county so it will be seen from this that the money to be loaned will reach ev ery section of Georgia. Should Mr. Candler lend on 1,000,- 000 bales, which he will do if he gets the applications, and It Is very prob able he will get them, the allotment to each bank would be 2.500 bales. Should this year's crop in Georgia go to 2,500,000 bales, which is prob able, Mr. Candler’s offer would take MIDWAY OFFERS EVENING OF REAL FUN TO EVERYBODY Augusta Fortunate in Securing a Really First-Class Midway to Boost the Fair. Tuesday night the Midway was on In full swing and looked as if it had been going on there always. There was was no remnant of the confusion of the night before. The chief feature of the Midway is the Washburn Trained Wild Animal Arena, where five lions, four lianesses, two lion cubs, six leopards and four bears go through one of the best and most complete series of animal acts at present in this country. Pauline, the “Leopard Queen,” controls the leo pards and lionesses, Professor Gardo the lions, and Captain Vincent the bears They are all three well known performers, who have acted in vaude ville and moving pictures all over the country, and are among the masters of their profession. Anybody can handle the lion cubs (if they are willing to "play rough”) and these two little fellows are one of the chief attractions of the the show. To see them play together like kittens is as good as to watch their parents go through the most difficult stunts. The leading lady of the animal show Is of course Gyp, the elephant, who distinguished herself by dragging the wagons out of the sand on Monday. Hamburg's Athletic Show, featur ing Antonio, the Greek champion wrestler who meets all comers for a cash prize, Is a big attraction. Antonio It assisted by several boxers and wrestlers , in Physical culture exhtbi tU Slbley's Water Circus, with Its beau tiful diving "nympths,” is next In line. A dozen lady aquatic artists put up a wonderful performance of swtnvmlnd and diving. Considerable comedy is supplied In the person of "Susie Smith." the heaviest "water-numph" on earth, who weighs 305 lbs., and nat urally creates some splash when she dives. Sibley’s Coney Islrnd Freak Show, with It's human curiosities, furnishes one of the features without which no mtdwav is a midway. An Indian Fa kir, and Electric Lady, the "Bee King," the fat twins, the serpent charmer, (who by the way la quite charming and has charmed many other* beaide* the serpents), the smallest living horse, the two-headed baby (a real two-headed human baby; there's no fake about It), etc., ate., all for ten ctnta, are a troupe which occupy the attention of children and grown-upa for half an hour or more. The "Old Plantation" Is a tip-top negro vaudeville ahow, where a com pany of twenty-four darkle* dance and augnr-foot and buck wing to your heart'# content. It la worth the price of admission only to hear the "profaa aor" play on the piano. Thla show la rather unique, in that the negroes do not attempt to put up a sort of Imita tion "white" vaudeville, but dance and sing after their own manner, women and men. Just as they do In the regu lar colored dance hall* around the ettv—onlv much better.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21. care of two-fifths or 40 per cent of the stae’s crop. Work on his warehouses is beirtg rapidly pushed. The first unit, whiefc will hold 5,000 bales, will be complete*! by the end of the week. ' Other units will be added as fast as the demand arises, and at the present rate of the demand they will be added rapidly. They will be built of corrugated Iron, and with the sprinkler system will assure reasonable insurance rates As Mr. Candler has twenty-five acres of ground for this purpose, space will not be placking for cotton storage. Mr. Candler’s offer will not only take care of 40 per cent of the state’s crop, but will also take care of one fifth of the surplus crop of the entire cotton belt. The entire surplus is estimated at 5.000.000 bales. If the Wade cotton polo plan Is fi nally launched in addition, a total of 6,0000,000 bales will be taken off the market, leaving only 9,000,000 bales or so to meet the world’s demand. Export demand for cotton Is steadily increasing, and while spot cotton hasn't advanced, it is holding steady at present prices, contrary to the pre diction in some quarters that the price would go even lower. Walcott’s Motordrome, where six daredevil motorcycle riders whirl around the inside of a cup-shapeil track with almost perpendicular always has a large crowd of interest ed and amazed spectators. The riders do some remakable feats, such as standing upon the saddle while going round and round at seventy miles an hour. This is the last stunt, and is done by "Wild Bill” Walton. The "Progressive Girls,” an original and Interesting Illusion show, "Sweet Adeline,” the human mountain who weighs 680 pounds, and the living skeleton by her side, the "Trip to the Moon”; a large ferrls wheel and sev eral other high-grade shows and rid ing devices, complete a Midway which you would have to go to some sta tionary pleasure resort to beat. GERMAN PUNS DISARRANGED Correspondent Says Ostend of Little Strategic Value and Dunkirk Strongly Fortified. London, 4:55 a. m.— The correspond dent of The Times In northern FTano# in showing how the German plana have been deranged by the atrong pressure of the allies on the left says: "The occupation of Ostend had lit tle strategic advantage.
