^ u ?
Washington ? President Wilson,
from a sick bed, today ordered the
arming of American merchant ships
against Germany's ruthless submarine
warfare and at the same time issued
a proclamation calling an extra
session of crongress to meet April
16.
The presidents decision came suddenly
late this afternoon, following'
the action of the senate yesterday in;
revising its rules to permit prompt
action on important questions and
the submission of formal opinions
by Secretary Lansing and Attorney*
General Gregory that he has the,
power to arm merchantmen without i
action by congress. Details of the
government's armed neutrality plans
for defending the merchant marine
were withheld to avoid endangering
Americans and their ships by permitting
the information to reach
Germany.
The only statement at the White
House and the navy department was
that the president Had determined
fully to. protect American rights.
14 The decision, coming at the end of
a period of tense waiting, was gen-J
erally hailed as the neiltral and unavoidable
next "step in the policy
' adopted by the president ' when he
\ "broke off diplomatic relations with
l Germany, and gave warning that the1
$ United States could not dictate attacks
on American ships and citizens
in violation of international law.
V Fraught with the grave possibility;
of war with Germany, the action was
taken by President Wilson only after
he was convinced that Germany ac- j
tually was proceeding with her cam'
paign of ruthlessncss and had made.
; efforts to plot with Mexico and Japan
against the territorial integrity
of the United States.
Long before the order was given
from the White House, all necessary
preparations for the arming of mer
chantmen had been completed at the1
navy department.

There has been similar stagnation
along the Russian and Mecedonian
fronts, according to the German official
statement.
Berlin announces that an additional
21 steamers, the sailing vessels
and 16 fishing craft of an aggregate
of 91,000 tons gross, have been
sunk by German sul\ larines. The
period in which these sinkings occurred
is not definitely given, the

A LOVE AFFAIR
Man Killed Was Suitor For
Hand of Boy's
Sister.
Crowesburg, Kans?Eleven year old
Joe Vinardi went back to school exonerated
by law after having avenged
in blood the killing of his father.
The coroner's jury returned a verdict
of self-defense, absolving the boy
from blame for the death here last
Monday of Mike Gilio, suitor for the
hand of Joe's sister, and enemy of
Gi an cento Vinardi, Joe's father.
There was a feud between the elder
Vinardi and Gilio because of
Gilio's attentions to Vinardi's daughter.
Monday night they met. Both
were armed. Next day both were
found dead, and it was at first believed
they had killed each other;
but the inquest revealed that Vinardi,
the elder, lying mortally wounded
had instructed his son to obtain vengeance.
His father's shotgun in
hand, the boy shortly afterwards
found Gilio in front of his home,
Gilio had a shotgun also. He pointed,
it at the boy and laughed at him,
.whereupon Joe Vinardi fired, killing
'Giiio.

property, at the corner of Elm

the old wooden stables, and erect a
brick building to be used as a Ford

for this little car is so great
that the Agency finds that it needs
a home of its own. The only way to
get one of those cars now is to give

take to meet the submarine menace.'
They have reported that the statutes

PROBATE PROCEEDINGS
OVER WALLACE BOY
? J!rl /iDAS
Matter Aired in Court of
Probate on Petition of
Mother
ALLEGATIONS MADE
WERE NOT SUSTAINED
Created Some Local Interest in
Pee Dee Community
and Here.
A number of people came into
Conway from the Pee Dee section
last Thursday to hear the proceedings
instituted in the court of Probate
of Horry County by Mary Wallace
against Sidney A. Tindal, alleging
in her petition that her son who
years ago was bound by her and
Magistrate Jenrette to Mr. Tindai,
was not being sent to schooi by his
master, and was kept on short rations
at the table, was not properly
clothed, and unmercifully punished,
pitd other charges.
There was a great number of witnesses
summoned to thresh out the
matter. It was heard by Judge J. S.
Vac tight under the act .of the Legislature
giving hint power in such cases.
After taking (town the testimony and
rlue consideration the court made no
change in the custody of the boy who
(is itow sixteen or seventeen years of
pgf- o |$ ^r tfto . ^?t
About ten Ik*, fa their .of,
abJle to cnr?? for them. S. A. Tindal

chijdreji' df apprentice- '
pbip> vrhicft' w?re! written lip by an
attorney ahd signed ufc tinder the
statute before J1 N. Jenrette, who
was then magistrate at Conway. Recently
one of the children, a girl, was
married and left. The only one remaining
with Mr. and Mrs. Tindal is
this boy over whom the proceedings
were had last Thursday.
At various times the mother has
tried to cause trouble about the children
since giving them up years ago
under the sanction of the court. It
appears that a number of her charges
about the care of the children havo
fallen flat when it comes to proof.

Further steps have been taken to
complete the specifications for the
