AUGUSTA’S GREAT DOG SHOW OPENS ITS DOORS
ARISTOCRATS OF
CANINE CIRCLES
ARE ON DISPLAY
Great Interest Shown on First Day—Show Is Declared
Best of Year South of Baltimore —To Admit Colored
People
By WILL EILEY
Augusta’s great dog show opened on schedule at 9
o’clock Monday morning, and the big building was full
of interested visitors all morning. It has been stated by
the management that the attendance on the first day far
exceeded the expectations of J;he Augusta Kennel Club,
thus demonstrating the great interest that has been
aroused in the show. Superintendent Blakeley, acting
\for Mr. Foley, said Monday that this is the largest and
tVie best show south of Baltimore this year.
i In reference to the fine standing of the show, Dr.
BKakeley said: “This is the best show of the year south of
Baltimore. We not only have the dogs in numbers but
we have the quality as well. Mr. Foley’s office is ex
tremely well pleased with the excellent showing.”
LOCAL OFFICIALS
ARE COMPLIMENTED
Mr. Blakeley does not hesitate to
compliment the local officials on
their untiring efforts and magnifi
cent results. He mentions the
names of President J. W. West
moreland, of the Augusta Kennel
flub, James C. Harrison, secretary,
and Adrian B. Sherman and Charles
G. Houston as the men who made
the show what it is. Through the
never-failing energy and optimism
of Mr. Westmoreland is due a large
part of the evident immense popu
larity of the show, while Messrs.
Sherman and Houston have worked
like Trojans to get the entries.
Mr. Harrison has worked with the
publicity until this is one of the
widest advertised events in the
south this fall.
“There has been a splendid spirit
of co-operation on the part of Au
gusta people and business men,"
said President Westmoreland,
‘‘without which we could have made
little headway. There has never
boon anything in Augusta before
which received more wholesale co
operation than this, our first A. K.
C. dog show. We appreciate it, and
want to thank the people for their
invaluable help through the col
umns of the newspapers.”
On every side, between the yelps
of the lusty-throated canines, can
be heard exclamations of wonder
and delight at the great exhibition
of America's dog aristocracy. Hon.
John Cecil’s four beautiful setters,
all prize-winners in other shows,
strike responsive chords In the
breasts of the hunter of quail, l
while those who love pets are made
hapnv by the magnificent great
St. Bernard of F. J. Barry, of Aiken,
and the mischievous little fox
terriers of every conceivable color
and marking.
They’re all there, thirty-one dif
ferent breeds. Some of them people

SIDELIGHTS ON
THE DOG SHOW
By HENRY F. SAXON
Easily the most distinguished
looking, the aristocrat of the dog
show, is Lansdowne Liskeard Au
rora, white greyhound bitch, be
longing to Mrs. B. F. Lewis, Jr.,
at Lansdowne, Pa. Thoroughbred
that she is, Liskeard Aurora shows
her patrician breeding in every out
line of her splendid form and in
her delivately traced veins throb
bing and pulsing vrith the royal
blood that has made her to be an
Unbeaten champion of three coun
tries, England, Canada and the
United States, champion o n the
bench and in the field a’course.
Deep chested, keen-limbed * with
short pasterns and long hip and
forearm lines; with well-seated
heart-room and well shaped barrel
tapering delicately to Hhe speed
arch of her finely muscled hips,
this lady of the dog kingdom evid
ences in every movement of her
lithe body the fleet racer that she
has proved herself and is a picture
of grace to delight the eye.
Personally, Liskeard Aurora took
my eye ahead of all other dogs in
the show with the exception of the
hunting dogs and in this class, the
Irish setter and Indeed these are, if
anything, entitled to share honors
with this princess, for they are in
the same class in a way—they are
thoroughbreds; the one as a racer
a'course, the other as a hunter.
Liskeard Aurora was brought to
the United States in August of
this year. She is a two-year-old and
was bred in England. She is en
tered in the Augusta dog show as
No. 139. She has never been beat
en at any distance in coursing and
excites admiration in the breast of
every lover of speed-lines in horses
or dogß.
And when it comes to beautiful
dogs—why there’s no passing the
bench stalls where the Irish set
ters are shown. With their rich red
coats of glossy hair and silken
feather they, to my mind, are out
standing features of the show. Of
course there is a persona! sym

tisanship; but very few who have

SHANGHAI.— Chekiang
forces holding defense
lines west of Shanghai, un
aware that they were fight
ing for a lost cause, unin
formed that an armistice
had been signed Sunday
night in which their leader
virtually admitted defeat,
continued firing into the
enemy lines Monday after
noon.
A train from Nasiang, 12 miles
west of here, brought in 300 Chek
iang soldiers who when apprised of
the turn of events, joined other
Chekiang troops at the railway
station north of here where an im
promptu auction of clothing and
equipment was held. A number of
military motor cars were knocked
down to bidders for ten dollars and
upward.
General Yung Hsiang, military
governor of Chekiang province, pre
sided at the conference which re
sulted in the decision to surrender
and which sent him to the interna
tional settlement here as a refugee.
Gneral Tse-Pin, a Chekiang field
commander, walked out of the
meeting after vigorously opposing
the proposal of his chief to sur
render.
Every waterway and road lead
ing into Shanghai today was
packed with refugees fleeing be
fore the advancing army of the
conquering forces. The refugees
used vehicles and animals of every
description to aid in carrying away
their few belongings from the con
quered area. ,
shanghai.—Their defeated armle*
retreating In confusion towards
Shanghai, General Lu Yung Hsiang,
military governor of Chekiang prov
ince, and his chief aide, General Ho
l-eng Ling, defense commissioner of
Shanghai, Monday announced they
had signed an armistice with the in
vading Kiangsu forces representing
the central government of China.
Generals Lu and Ho who have led
the defense forces fighting west and
couth of Shanghai for the past *'x
weeks Monday sought refuge in for
eign concessions while a report was
in circulation here that they had
been bribed to betray their leaders.
FOREIGN DEFENSE
FORCES LINE UP.
While the Chekiang army was re
treating towards the environs of
Shanghai Monday every unit of for
eign defense forces in the city. In
cluding United States marines and
foreign warships was being drawn up
along the boundaries of the foreign
settlement to put up a defense
against attempts on the part of the
Kiangsu troops to enter the concos-
Sl The confusion in military quarters
Incident to the signing of the armis
tice made it Impossible to weigh the
benefits to the central government
forces Monday. If the terms of the
armistice strip the Chekiang military
governor of his power, the result is a
victory for the central government
which will now extend Its Jurisdic
tion to the district surrounding
Shanghai. The Chekiang military
governor, opposed to the central gov
ernment, had been ruling Shanghai
and Chekiang province without a war
rant of any kind from Peking.
He was u hold-over appointee from
an old Anfu party administration and
relied on his military strength to
back up hly refusal to vacate office.
The Chekiang forces were torn
apart by a revolt in their ranks
about two weeks ago. Until that time
they had repelled the attacks of the
Invading Kiangsu troops and were
engaged in an encircling movement
near Tal Lake, west of Shanghai,
preparing to start a rear attaek
against the enemy. The revolt was
beginning on the Chekiang defeat.
Their forces cut off by traitors In
their own rank*, the Chekiang troops
narrowed their lines down to the de
fense army south and weßt of Shan
ghai but the Kiangsu troops tasted
victory, pounded away at the south
ern front until they captured the Im
portant town of Hungklang, 2S miles
south of here, a few days ago.

With Crew In Irons,
Seized “Booze” Ship
Lolls Oil Sandy Hook
Norwegian Steamer Sagalind With 43,000 Cases of
Liquor Taken Into Tow—Tumultuous Scenes Enacted
on Vessel Prior to Capture
NEW YORK.—Rolling lazily on a
gentio swell in the lee of Sandy
Hook, with her crew of 32 in irone and
her cargo of 43,900 cases of liquor
under governmental seal, the aelzed
Norwegian steamship Sagallnd, Mon
day morning, awaited disposition at
the hands of the federal government.
There was nothing to suggest the
tumultuous scenes that had been en
acted on her decks before the cost
guard cutter Seneca sighted her
floating aimlessly about forty miles
out from New York without a helms
man. When the Seneca came upon
the Sagallnd, just before dawn Sun
day the lookout of the cutter hailed
the ship, and receiving no response
fired three shots across her how when
still there was no sign of life aboard.
Captain It. L. Blake of the Seneca
ordered his men to hoard her, acting
under a law permitting search of a
vessel know'n to l>e in communica
tion with the shore.
The customs men clambered over
the side and looked about the deck
cautiously, half expecting to be fired
upon. They saw no one on deck but
a search disclosed two sailors asleep
In the wheelhouse. Below decks they
found the rest of the crew.
CAPTAIN LOCKED
IN HIS CABIN.
Some were asleep, some were In
their bunks nursing broken hones and
some were staggering about In a
stupor. Nearly all were, nursing black
eyes. The captain was found lock
ed In his cabin with twelve rifles and
six revolvers beside his bunk. He ex
plained that his ship, a 964-ton otl
burning vessel of Norwegian regis
try, had left Antwerp for Saint Pierre
with a derelict crew and 100,000 cases
of assorted liquor. Only 43,000 cases
remained. In the ship’s safe cus
toms men found $26,000 In American
money.
The erew had made free with the
liquor, he said, and before they were
one day out the fighting began.
Brawls continued all the way over,
reaehlng a ellmax after the vessel
anchored In Rum Row.
The night they arrived the crew
indulged In a drinking orgy, three men
received broken Jaws, one had his
leg broken. two received broken
arms and a score had their eyes
blackened, he told customs men He

of ninety-six jurors was drawn and
at ten o’clock Judge K. T. Shurley
presiding, called the court to order
and the work of selecting a Jury
was started.
A large crowd, composed largely
of men with a. sprinkling of wom
en, Jammed the court room when

STATE WILL SEEK TO
ESTABLISH CONSPIRACY
The state will attempt to estab-
Ifsh a conspiracy on tho part or
Snider and Hat*away to kill Miss
Wimberly nnd then dispose of her
. body In order to remove a witness
who knew much that would In
criminate them both If they were
Indicted for their liquor operations.
The Crime was committed on
Sunday morning, August 81, at the
home of Bloome Thompson in tho
southern part of Warren county.
From this point the body was trans
ported by automobile a distance of
twenty-two miles nnd after the
body was wired to a heavy steel
shaft It was east Into the Ogeechce
river In a very secluded part of
Glascock county, near a little used
public road. . _ „
On Sept. 3. Ruben Amerson, a
farmer who lived near the river,
search for strayed hogs, noticed a
curious object In the river near the
top of the water and after much
difficulty brought the body to the
surface and towed It to land.
It is understood that Snider will
make a clean breast at the w}w»
matter and claim that the. lt
was an accident and after the kill
ing. realizing that It would not be
understood, he In an effort to hide
hts relations with the woman with
the help of RMtnwny carried the
body In his car to the river and

shafting from a nearby saw mill,
wired the body to it and cast It in
to the river,

DAVIS DECLARES
CONSTITUTION IS
VIOLATED BY
TARIFF ACT
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind —lt Is the
opinion of John W. Davis, democratic
nominee for President, and former
president of the American Bsr As
sociation that the Fordney-Mc.Ctim
ber tariff bill violate* the Constitu
tion of the United States.
Mr. Davis announced this belief In
sn attack on the tariff act anil re.lt
erated Monday that the law "not only
violates the Constitution of the United
States hut also violates one nf the
'deepest traditions of ths Ilberty-loV
ing peoples of tho world."
In support, of his contention Ilin
candidate cited the clause In the hill
which he said gave tho President
uncontrolled discretion to raise tariff
rates or lower them ns much as 50
per rent. It made no difference, he
pointed out, that the aot had stated
that the I’resident must he advised
by the tariff board before rates spe
cified In the hill were changed.
The clause was written Into law.
Mr. Davis charged, to glvs the people
an "anaetsthetlc while they swallow
ed It."
Tho tariff was nothing more than a
lax and the Fordney-McC'umher bIU.
he added, had given the President
“power to raise or lower that tax on
the American people by 50 per cent
without going to representatives for
permission."
Mr. Davis declared the result of
this legislation had been to "put your
necks under the yoke that ws shook
off centuries ago ”
The candidate was prepared Mon
day to continue his attacks on the
tariff, on questions of foreign affairs
and others concerning tho adminis
tration of government In Washington.
Ho had rested during the week-end
here and was faeed again with the
railroad schedule worked out hv his
mnangers to take him Into Illlnole
from Springfield to Quincy and
thence to Chicago for a two-day uro

having covered 1,000 miles of her
Journey from Frlcdrlchshafen to
Lnkehurst, N. J., according to the
latest advices.
The next definite word as to her
progress la expected to be In tho
form of wireless communication
either from some vessel sighting
her at sea from the Azores Island,
over which she Is expected to pass
In following the southern trans-At

because of adverse weather condi

route.
Leaving Friedrlchshafen where
she was built on the war repara
