Governor Stands Upon the Rights of

... . ',f' r '
Wants State Law to Compel Ar-
A bitration of Disputes.
In a strong statement on the situa-
( tion brougUt»about by strikes at the
Judson Mill in Greenville, and the
Brogon Mills, in Anderson, Gov.'
Manning das said that ‘TSome means
must do devised to bring all parties
to an amicable frame of mind..’’
The governor made it clear that he
believed in the right of labor to or
ganize, but that lie would not coun-
tenanpe violence, and that he expect-
' ed tue slierifts of Greenville and An
derson to do their duty, but added:
“If I am convinced that elthev of the
sheriffs is not fuliilling his duty
am prepare^ to act.’’
Gov. Manning told of his efforts to
bring about a settlement of the
strikes, but said apparently the dis
putes were no nearer a solution. He
intimates that the matter should be
submitted to arbitration, saying that
the public is inclined to believe that
thoso who avoid arbitration “put
ythemselves in the wrong.’’
The governor, in stating his belief
lii\arbitretion, says he is considering
recommending to the gener.'.l assem

Submarine Opened Fire Without Giv
ing Any W'artiing—rPropeller*
and Rudder* Hit.
A Tunis correspondent Sends the
following interview with Captain
Massardo of the Ancona:
“The submarine opened fire on my
ship without warning. I ,sighted the
submarine soon after lunch, while on
the bridge. Passengers on deck sight
ed it about the same time. I order
ed the wireless operator to ask for
help. The submarine while coming
towards us at full speed, realized the
danger of the wireless and fired, de
stroyed the Marconi aerials.
“A second shot hit the propellers
and Jhe third the rudder. The sub
marine, continued to fire despite the
fact that 1 had ordered the ship stop
ped at the first shot. Simultaneous
ly f ordered the boats lowered. . The
passengers went over first, the crew
following.
“During all this time the crew of
the submarine, sitting around her
four guns, continually fired at us.
“Some of the boats lowered cap
sized and others were smashed
against the ship. Twenty women and
children who had fallen into the
water grasped ropes which were
handing from the submarine. The
crew of the submarine immediately
cut these ropes, letting all drown.
"Meanwhile a French destroyer
steapied up at full speed. While the
submarine disappeared the destroyer
picked up one hundred "knd thirty-
one survivors who were absolutely
stunned. They were taken to Ferry-
ville.
“The crew of the Ancona behaved
with the utmost discipline.”

Capt. Paul Derantler, captain ofj
the Zeal&ndia, which was searched by
a British cruiser while at anchor
north of Progreeso, Mexico, In a
statomont made public by the Ftske

claims that his vessel yias within the

ico, but the officer in command of
the cruiser oignalled at tho time that
he was not of the samo opinion, ac
cording to Capt. Deventler,
“Since the date of thip * protest,,
made by the.Zealandia’s captain fn
the British consul, we have received
telegraphic advices,” reads the Flske
Company’s statetaent, “to the effect
that the port authorities of Progresso
have officially ascertained that the
xealandia was anchored at the usual
discharging place and w:.s within,
three miles of land.”
After tho Zoalandta had been
boarded and searched Capt. Devcn-
ticr protested to the British consul at
Progresso, leaving a copy of his pro
test with the American consul there.
A copy of this protest, giving Capt
Dovantior’s version of the incident, is
embodied in tho Fiske Company's
statement.
Capt. Deventler’s statement says in
conclusion:
"Tho port doctor of Progresso, Dr
Alozo Hernandez, who h d visited
the said cruiser in an official capac
ity, boarded the Zealandia, and
while aboard stated that the cruiser’s
name was the Isis and that she had
arrived from Jamaica.”
Own its own behalf the Fiske Trad
ing Company says: “The stxtoment of
the British authorities that the vessel
did not have4t8 papers aboard is evi
dently made for tho solo rurpo»o of

After Going to Hospital Atlanta Girl
Returns With Tale, of Love—
"Wedding'’ Date Being Set She
Goes to Purchase Trousseau—
«S>
V /firings Back Body for Burial.
How a' girl, well known in the
society of Atlanta, Ga., went to Chi
cago, identified the body qf a man
kined?on. the Illinois, Central tracks
as that of a “swectheaVt” who exist
ed only in hdr own imagination, so
as to carry out a ficceit she had
practiced on her family, became
known Sunday, night.
The case discloses one of the most
astonishing psychopathic incidents in
the memory of Chicago officials. The
girl concocted a tale of meeting a
Dr. Alleyne Hensley, of his .persist
ent wooing, of his gifts of flowers
and candy, his fervent letters, pro
posal, acceptance and then his tragic
death. *’ •
Here is the story as told in tears
to Dr. Bates Block, an alienist of
Atlanta, whose sharp questioning
brought out the truth from the girl,
who is Miss Julia pheate Crumley,
daughter of the RcVz-and Mrs. How
ard Leo Crumley. ^ t
The idea was conceived while the
girl was a patient in Johns Hopkins
hospital in Baltimore, after being
operated upon for a minor disorder
On her return to Atlanta the young
woman told friends that she was in
love with the surgeon who had saved
her life. She gave his name as Dr.
Hensley’and said he was a widower
with one child, a son. He lived, she
said, in Quebec, Canada.
There came to her loiters from
Quebec which contained fervent mes
sages of love. Flowers and candy
were deliyered to her by shopkeeper?
on telegraphic instructions . from
Quebec signed by Hr. Hensley, and
money was forwarded by telegraph
In each instance to pay for them.
Finally she told her closest friends'
that the surgoon had proposed and
she had accepted him. The marriage!
was to take place Wednesday, Nov
ember 17. She went to New York
to purchase her trousseau, meet the
future bridegroom, and bring him
back to Atlanta to meet her paranu
■and friends
On Saturday she telegraphed from
New York that her fiance had been
killed in a train accident near Chi
cago and she waa on her way to that
city to recover hit Imdy and bring it
to Atlanta.
She arrived in Chicago on Monday
morning and went to the undertak
ing establishment of the Western
Casket Company, where was the
body of a man killed several days be
fore on the Illinois Central tracks.
The girl identified the body as that
of her dear "brother," Dr. Hensley.
She firas overcome with grl 3f and ar
ranged to have the body shipped to
Atlanta.
Mist Crumley paid the bill and de
parted, with her dead, over the 1111-
no Lb Ceatral Railroad. She said there
would be no enit against ti e rail
road company, assorting that no
monetary recompense coyld be made
for the loss of her “brother.'*
She arrived ki Atlanta on Wednoa
day afternoon. The parents of Miss
Crumley and beveral of her friends
viewed the body. Then some ques
tions were asked. The hands of the
dead man were calloused and rough,
not those of a surgeon. Finally, the
Ucv. Mr. Crumley asked Dr. Bates
Block, an alienist, to visit his daugh
ter and talk to her. Tho doctor first
vicwetL^tho body, then .told Miss
Crumley that she Lad deceived no
one by her duplicity. Miss Crumley
burst Into tears and confessed the
entire story.
Sho had concocted the story of the
supposed woer and fiancee. The let-,
Jer she received* sho had written her-
£qlf, sent to a woman w’hose name
shn read In a Canadian newspaper, to
wlio'tn she paid to remail the missive
to heK The candy and the flowers
had come from the same source. ”
Her plans for a big church wad
ding, liridexn’.aids^-flower girls and
trousseau were the product of her
disordered mind. • The date of the
wedding was drawing near and she
had to have some'jneans of meeting
the situation. Sho went to New York
and watched westent newspapers.

In published correspondence be

go into that feature in his instruc

son but made it clear that Biirkitt
should not be discharged for merely
expressing that a man should net be
come engaged within .\ yo.v after tho
death of hi* wife _
It-Was stated at tho Whit^ House
that Postmaster General Burleson
had no knov/ledge of tho ease before
It was called to his attention by pub
lication in newspapers. The dis
charge of Burkitt was approved by
Assistant Postmaster G>nerr.l Roper
an exchange of letters with Burkitt
Burkltt protested that I a had not
had an opportunity to reply to the
charges as required by civil service
laws. Mr. Roper infotmed him that
the law had been complied with by a
letter oent to Burkltt by the poet-
master notifying of the charge of
showing disrespect to tho president.
Whites House officials were annoy
ed by the publicity given to the caso,
and it was expected that Postmaster
General Burleson would act Imme

tions

“The submarine allowed forty-five

these were occupied principally by

“A great number of bo*.ta prob

“After a period of fifty minutes

"If any of the pasrengers lost their
