UNIVERSITY NOTES
Columbia, March 13.?In an address
before the student body recently, Dr.
Reed Smith, reviewing the brilliant
achievements of Carolina men, referred
to II. G. Officer as "the man most
likely to succeed in life."
Prof. F. Horton Colcock, for twenty-one
years actively engaged as instructor
at the University of South
Carolina, has just tendered his resignation
as dean of the Department of
Mathematics and Engineering. His
successor has not yet been announced
and it is presumed that the resignation,
which has been accepted, will not
go into effect before the termination
of the present collegiate year. During
his professorship at the University
the retiring mathematician has
been actively interested in all phases
of the University's life, and has endeared
himself to many.
The board of trustees of the University
of South Carolina met last
Thursday. It is understood that they
let the contract for the erection of a
new fence and grandstand at Davis'
field, Carolina's athletic park.
Dr. I.owis Pnrk U.hnmhprlnvno n/1
dressed the Civic Club this week on
the "Woman SufYerage Movement in
South Carolina." He presented quite
a formidable and interesting array oi
facts, and his remarks were both instructive
and enjoyable.
Dr. W. S. Currell, president of the
University, concluded Thursday evening
his series of three lectures on
Dante's "Divine Comedy." The lectures
were delivered in the auditorium
of the city Y. M. C. A., the proceeds
go to the benefit of the Children's
Clinic. The lectures were well attended
Fand proved delightfully instructive.
Dr. Currell was exceptionally
conversant with his subject, and the
occasional happy injection of the facetious
contributed not a little to the
whole effect. It is understood that
an effort will be made to have him re
peat the triology in the auditorium of
the University chapel.

THIRD TRIAL SOl'GHT
By Ihe Attorneys for Charles Becker
the Men York Policeman.
New York, March 24.-?The lawyers
for Charles Becker, the former police
lieutenant, twice convicted as the
principal in the murder by gunmen of J
II rman Rosenthal a, N. Y. gambler,
ppeals in a final effort to secure a I
third trial for their client. The argu- I
ment is based on the many conflicting,
statements made by tb.e witnesses
whose testimony convicted Becker of!
complicity with the gangsters in the
murder of Rosenthal, and on the
claim that public clamor and newspaper
zeal influenced the decision.
The brief in which Becker's lawyers
enumerate their contentions is
the longest over submitted in a erim|
inal case in New York county. It
J contains 7~>0 printed pages. Some of
j the claims made by the lawyers, on
j .chieh they hope for a new trial are as
; follows:
That the charges of Supreme Court
Justice Seabury, who presided at the
second Becker trial .was "iinfriir.
i roneous and highly prejudicial."
That Becker's guilt was not estab!
lished beyond a reasonable doubt.
That his conviction "was brought
about by newspaper clamor, the zeal
of die prosecutor and natural desire
of the actual murderers for self-protection."
That the testimony of Jack Rose,
one of the chief witnesses .for the
State, "reeks with duplicity and falsity."
That Becker's lawyers were not permitted
to introduce at the second trial
the written confession of Frank Cirofici,
known as "Dago Frank," one of
the four gunmen electrocuted on April
13 of last year as one of the gunmen
who shot Rosenthal. This confession
the lawyers claim ,would prove clearly
that at least one of the gunmen, "Dago
Frank," had never heard that Beck
er was behind the murder.
That the testimony of several other
witnesses ,including Charles 13. Plitt,
.1 J'. Hocl'ov'c fnvniOl" cir.r.1 ni ivnmi 10 !
. ~ , ? vv . VV * 4.W4 1?IVX kJ VV'V I |/? ^ tu I I ? JO I
| also questionable.
That the testimony of Mrs. Lillian
j Rosenberg ,widow, of "Leftie Louis,"
i another of the executed gunmen, and
who testified for the State at Becker's
second trial, was "highly incompetent
j and improbable . . . .worthless so
' far as it has any value in connecting
the defendant, Becker, with the gunmen
or the commission of the crime."
That the second Becker trial was
staged in an atmosphere designedly
hostile to the defendant, an atmosphere
created by the clamor of New
York newspapers.
It is said that the two alleged confessions,
of "Dago Frank" and James
Marshall a colored witness, will play
an important part in the Becker apto
be heard today. Dago Frank, the
gunman, confessed to Warden Clancy
two hours before his execution in Sing
Sing in April of last year, as follows:
"I did not do the shooting. The
men who fired the shots were Gyp,
Louie and Vallon. I was five miles
away at the time. So far as I know,
Becker had nothing to do with the
case. It was a gambler's fight. I told
some lies on the stand to prove an
alibi for ihe rest of the boys. I was
in Bridges Webber's when the arrangements
wer made. I did not know
what they were, but I knew something
was coming off."
Marshall, the negro witness, whose
testimony was one of the strongest
links in the conviction of Becker, made
an alticlavit in Philadelphia last month
setting forth that his words on the
stand were false, and indicating in
writing that the New York district
attorney's office influenced him to testify
as the prosecution wished, under
threat of arrest and imprisonment,
the strength of this alleged confession
Becker's lawyers sought a new trial
last month, but Justice Bartow S.
Weeks of the supreme court denied
the plea on the ground that the affidavit
did not constitute grounds for reopening
of the case.
Becker, who is in Sing Sing under
sentence of death for the murder of
Herman Rosenthal, is hopeful of a
third trial. His friends are exerting
every energy in his behaif.

[AMERICAN SUBMARINE
STILL ON BOTTOM
Without Hoj)o That Any of the
Crew cf Twenty-one Can oo
Alive.
WAS RAISED FIFTY FEET
Then the Cables Paired and the
Sub-marine Settled Back to
Ocean Bottom.-Heartbreaking
Circumstances.
Horrible details appeared in the
newspapers last week of how the
United States submarine F-4 went
down in the waters of the Pacific
Ocean near the llawaian Islands and
contrary to expectations and the general
rule with submarines, she did
not return to the surface. Finally efforts
were made by other boats with
hooks and cables to drag for the miss
nig craft and lift her to the surface,
in the hope that they might get the
boat up in time to save some or all of
the crew. That these efforts failed
appears by reference to the following
news dispatches appearing last
Sunday:
Streams of bubbles continuing to
the surface of the ocean indicating
that the submarine F-4 rapidly
was filling with water, caused naval
officers tonight to decide to continue
throughout the night the work ot trying
to raise the sunken craft. Brilliant
moonlight assisted the operation
Mrs. Ede, wife of Lieut. Alfred
Louis Ede, commander of the F-4, is
prostrated.
Crowds continue to line the waterfront,
among- them relatives of the
crew.
Hope that the submarine would be
raised before nightfall failed this afternoon
when a chain loop attached to
the disabled craft slipped and she settled
back again to the Ocean bed. The
most optimistic of the naval officers
here conceded tonight there was no
reasonable chance of any of the submarine's
crew of 21 being taken out
alive.
Lifted Fifty Feet.
The powerful dredger California
lifted the F-4 .">0 feet before the mishap
occurred which plunged the submarine
back into the lips of the oc< an
crater in which it is believed to have
lodged.
Fresh efforts were immediately began
to obtain another grip in the
hulk.
Owing to the great depth?50
fathoms?of the submarine's resting
nlonn on/I f nn/inlinti -Prx i?iv\ o 11' nf

the ocean's floor, the task of passingchains
under the vessel is exceedingly
difficult. Divers can not work
effectively at that depth and the
casting about for a hold is necessarily
haphazard.
As soon as the F-4 is elevated to a
point where divers can operate, lifting
chains will be made fast to her
bow and stern and then it will be comparatively
easy to bring the vessel to
the surface.
Work in Hope,
Rescuers worked with feverish haste
today, spurred by confident predicti' n
of officers that life still would be
found in some of F-4's crew if the
boat could be raised before night.
There were numerous heartbreaking
mishaps. Once a cable, groaning
with the dead weight of the hulk, sud
denly sagged, releasig its hold on
the F-4. Later, just after a chain had
been successfully passed under the
vessel, it slipped off the smoothe plates.
The disappointment of the workers
reached its climax when the hull,
after having been raised fully 50 feet
again shook of the chain and sank.
The submarine had then been under
water more than 54 hours.
Air bubbles rising to the surface today
were taken to indicate that at
least one of the F-4's three compartments
had burst.
Crushed on Bottom.
Washington, March 27.?At the
close of 8 day which brought no report
from either Rear Admiral Moore
commanding the naval station at
Honolulu, nor Commander Smith of
the first submarine division of the
Pacific fleet officials had abandoned
all hope that any of the officers or
crew of the submarine F-4 survived.
Theories of the cause of the accident
generally advanced tonight were
that the boat either struck a rock or
; coral formation while submerged, or
that her shell has been crushed by an
impact against the coral ocean bed.
Knows 111 Fated Boat.
S. C. Hass of New Bern, N. C., who
is in Columbia, reads with special interest
of the efforts making to raise
the LTnited States submarine F-4,
which sank early Thursday in deep
water off Honolulu.
Mr. Hass was in the navy with the
rating of electrician, first class, when
the F-4 was building in the navy
yard at Seattle and he knows several
of the members of the erew assigned
her when she was put into eommis
sion. Her commander then was Lieut
James Perdue OKIrinow in command
of a submarine of the larger
L type. Mr. Hass left the service at
Seattle August 7, lb!2.
The F-4, Mr. Mass said, is 142 feet
in length, is fitted with two Dcisel engines
and carries a complement of 1C
men and two ofticers. She has fou
torpedo tubes and carries eight
Whiteheads, four in the tubes and
four in the chocks. She has, hesaid.
a steaming radius of 2,500 miles on
oil and of 500 miles on her batteries.
Under normal conditions she should
be capable of remaining submerges
ten days without danger to her crew.
Mr. Mass suggested however, that her
commander might have used some of
his air in attempting to raise the vessel
or that she might have become
wedged between rocks.
Mr. Mass is visiting his brother, the
Rev. Marry A. Mcrfeld, rabbi, in

New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Virginia,
West Virginia and Wisconsin; and
"Whereas, the spreading of this disease
is due principally to the shipment
of live stock from one point to
another, and by the passing of stock
cars that have been exoosed to the
infection of said disease, or anything
that has come in contact with the
diseased animals; and
"Whereas it is the intention of the
authorities of this State to prevent, as

OTTOMAN FLEET ENGAGED
Warship Claimed to Have Been
Sunk by Guns of Dardencles
Forts.-Turkish
Fleet Reported to
Have Done
Damage.
The Turkish war department announce!
last Friday that the French
battleship Bouvet had been sunk during
the bombardment of the Dardanelles.
No confirmation has been received
from Paris or London.
The Constantinople statement indicates
the Turkish fleet, whose location
has been unknown for some time,
again is engaged actively in the Black
Sea. It is said to have attacked a
Russian naval base on the Crimean
coast, inflicting considerable damage.
What is said to be a presentation of
Austria's attitude toward Italy, as
set forth in a Vienna dispatch to
Rome, contains the statement that
Austria, if she agrees to make tcrriI
torial concessions sufficient to satify
Italy will defer formal transfer of the
territory until after the war. Austria
it is said, desires to assure herself
that Italy will adhere to her promise
of neutrality in return for the grant.
This attitude is described in Rome as
unsatisfactory. A Paris dispatch says
Austria is resisting German pressure
in the matter.
Information from Bucharest is that
the Austrian forces in Bukowina have
been reinforced and are undertaking
a strong offensive movement.
The Russian invasion of Germany
apparently has led to the occupation
of Memel, an important Baltic port
at the northern tip of East Prussia.
The German official report of today
indicates that Russian forces have
entered the city.
Petrograd believes von Hindenburg
has decided to launch a new attack
on Warsaw from the east. Russian
military authorities assert that the
Germans have abandoned their attack
in the north and are concentrating
forces south of the Vistula, where hea
vy artillery fighting already is under
way.
The developments of yesterday on
the western front were a repetition of
the local engagments such as haye
been usual during the winter months.
Minor successes are claimed by the
French in northwestern France and in
the Argonne. The German statement
mentions several attacks by the allies,
but asserts they failed.
The Russian army which is invading
Turkish Armenia is said to have
won another victory, capturing a Turk
ish base on the Black sea near the
Russian border. Petrograd asserts
that the Turks retreated in disorder.
Two more British steamers have
been destroyed by Germany's submarine
raiders. They wore torpedoed in
the English channel.

I wish to inform you of the great \1
benefits I have derived from the use N J
of Swamp-Root. I had been a sufferer
for more than twenty years from 1
kidney and liver trouble and was al- fl
most constantly treated by the most d
eminent physicians who could only
give me temporary relief. I had been I
in bed ten weeks when I began the "
use of Swamp-Root. Inside of twenty
four hours I could see that I had
been greatly benefitted. I continued
to use Swamp-Root until I had used
several bottles when I really felt that
my old trouble was completely cured '
and I am positive that any person suffering
with kidney or liver trouble
can be cured by the use of this prep- j
aration.
I am now in the best of health, bet- ,
i ter than I have been for ten years or
more. I do not know how to express jl
myself as strongly as I desire, in favor
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, as {
I am sure that it saved my lifq and
