London, April 15. England 'experienced the second Zeppe lin raid last night, when a Ger man airship made an extensive 'flight over the northeast coast and unsuccessfully attempted to blow up the ship building works on the Tyne. Except of negligible property damage and slight injury to two civil ians the attack was fruitless The promptness with which lhe cities and towns in that oart of England plunged into larkness, when the coming of he Zeppelin was announced, mdoubtedly prevented the in dicting of greater damage. As it was some persons had i'ery narrow escapes, with the jombs falling near a passenger "rain in pue instance ;an& close o a ship yard in another. Both the Russians and Aus trians continue to- claim local successes in . the Carpathians but in general it appears that the 'reinforced Anstro-German forces have checked the main Russian offensive in the region of Uzsok pass.

Hardwlck from the position of pas senger traffic manager of the company to that of general agent of the passen ger traffic department with headquar ter at his former home, Montgomery, Ala, The telegram follows: ' "Announcement is made by the management of the Southern Railway company of the retirement of S. H. Hardwlck as passenger trafflo man-1 ager because of 111 health and the ap pointment of the passenger traffic de partment with headquarters at Mont gomery, Ala., his native city. Mr. Hardwlck has been connected with the Southern railway and Its predecessors in continuous service extending over forty years and has effectively and successfully filled various positions from that of telegraph operator, his first position as a youth, to and includ ing the office of passenger traffic man ager. W. H. Tayloe has been appoint ed passenger traffic manager of the Southern railway, succeeding Mr. Hardwlck. Mr. Tayloe is a native of Richmond county, -Virginia, and begnn his career In the service of -the South ern railway and its predecessors as a stenographer and has filled successive positions as passenger agent, then gen eral passenger agent and latterly as traffic manager of the Chesapeake Steamship company. These changes and appointments are effective April is, ins..".. s...w:...-.-.---v..--- Mr. Hardwlck has been associated with Ashevllle and western North Car olina since the early days of this city. He was one of the first to see the fu ture that lay before Ashevllle as a re sort town, and as an Individual and an official he has been untiring In his efforts to stimulate the development of this section. As head of the South ern's passenger department he ap propriated thousands of dollars for the advertising of the Carolina mountains as a resort ground for the whole coun try, and followed this up by securing for this section the train sen-Ice necei sary to bring tourists here. Mr. Hardwlck was a frequent visitor In this city and has many friends here who will learn with regret of his ill health He kept in close touch with Industrial conditions in this section he was one of the originators of the Greater Western North Carolina asso ciation and never missed one ot its meetings, and his department was a large contributor to its financial needs. Mr. Hardwlck left Washington last night for Montgomery. It Is probable that he will visit Ashevllle this sum mer. The new passenger traffic manager, Mr. Tayloe, Is also a southerner and an experienced railway man, for many years associated with Mr. Hardwlck In the passenger department He has visited Ashevllle several times, and the interest he showed in this section while in the passenger department Is an in dication that he will not reserve tho policies of his predecessor. Mr. Tay loe will probably visit Ashevllle in the near future on a tour of the South ern system. Divers Suffer no 111 Effects- Examination Made of Oth er Craft of the Sub marine Flotilla.

Buffalo, N. T., April 15. A dozen bandits held up a New York Central fast freight at Sanbern, nine miles east of North Tonawanda, early today, stripped several cars of bolted silk valued at. $50,000 and sped away in automobile trucks on which they had loaded their plunder. The bandits were armed with repeating rifles and automatic pistols and fired several shots at members of the train's crew. No one was Injured. A posse of detectives, mounted po lice and patrolmen from Buffalo, Niagara Falls and North Tonawanda reached the scene shortly after the hold-up and spent several hours in searching for the bandits but no ar rests have been made. The robbers headed toward Buffalo. After forcing the engine crew to uncouple the locomotive and run !t a short distance, the engine men an-1 three others of the crew were linsd up against a box car under the guard of a single banVt, while the other robbers looted -iht train. Four five ton trucks , which were waiting were quickly loaded with the booty. Engineer Goss, escaped the guard and running a fusilade of shots, reach ed his engine and made a record run to Suspension Bridge,5 eight miles away, and gave the alarm. The robbery was the most daring i of Its kind ever 'attempted In this sec tion and the amount of the plunder far exceeds in value that of any other freight train robbery In the history of eastern railroading.

With the Archi medean lever of the legislature, the Supreme court has lifted Davidson county from the mud by affirming Judge Lyon's ruling paved the way for paving the highways of that county. The court does not go into tho merits of the Leonard act which raised the row in Davidson county. Judge Clark, who likes law fresh from tho populace, writes the opinion which deals solely with the legislative right to enact laws of this kind. When the case was presented last week, the court found It difficult to attend Capt. S. E. Williams In his splendid ramifi cations but margin-like, came back home and asked constitutional light. There is small doubt that the court would have objected to the way the Issue was passed and to the Imposition of such a large Issue upon the people without a plebiscite, but it was the law and Judge Clark isn't a man to declare unconstitutional acts by the legislative body. , Important as this case is to Pied mont, North Carolina, it is overshad owed in all North Carolina by the de cision in Murfcon against the Light and Water company from Beaufort, in which the court after more than a year gets to a decision that upholds the North Carolina courts In declaring water companies liable for damages to consumers. This is the famous "News and Ob server" compromise case. Secretary Daniels sued the Wake Water com pany after the Are thut wrecked the News and Observer's plant April 24, 1913, alleging that the newspaper plant had been destroyed through In adequate water pressure. The case was duly docketed and set for trial. From time to time it was continued in the hope of getting a decision from the Supreme court in the Morton case, thereby establishing the question of liability. Other cases tried in North Carolina, the Forrell and Jones cases from Greensboro and Durham, made water companies liable for damages, but the contracts carried stipulation to that effect. Judge Clark holding years ago that in the Durham case liability for damages was the strongest part of that contract. The Rumor Keversed. While the Morton case from Beau fort was pending, attorneys for the News and Observer, for the bond holders end for the old water com pany, grew anxious.

The day passed, however, witli no bombardment of Matamoros, the only lighting reported being heard from lhe Brulay plantation, about eight miles down tlie Kio Grande from Matamo ros. Washington, April 15. Major Gen era! Frederick Funston command ing the American forces on border yesterday en route from San An tonlo to Brownsville to take charge of the situation there which is again threatening as the consequence of the falling of Mexican bullets on American territory. Reporting to the war department General Funston said that although some bullets had fallen on the Brownsville side in the fighting at Matamoros Thursday, there had been-' no casualties.' Brownsville, April 14. The shell ing of Matamoros by the Villa forces besieging the city, had not been re rewed early today. There was con siderable doubt as to Villa's next move, owing to the wounding of General Saula Navarre the second In command who is dangerously In jured. Unofficial reports from Villa head quarters outside of Matamoros de clare that several field pieces have arrived and are being placed in post Hon for bombardment, but It is thought that the Villa army may re main inactive until the arrival of re inforcements. It was learned that during yester. day's battle two women were slight ly hurt when a shell exploded near their residence, Villa officers admit that in the sor tics yerterday some of their outposts were taken by surprise. General Funston, who Is en route to Brownsville from San Antonio to take charge of the border situation has been advised that en aeroplane is needed to make observations to pre vent violation of neutrality. New York, April 15. Seventy- seven men and women, virtually tho entire force of stewards and steward esses aboard the American liner Kroonland have been placed under arrest by Immigration officials, and a warrant was issued for the captain of the Kroonland on the charge that the Red Star line, owners of the liner, had violated the alien contract labor law. The entire complement of stewards and stewardesses, 69 men and eight women, it is charged were brought in as passengers of the Finland last Jan uary from England. Aftar their ar rival the Red Star line. It Is charged, transferred them, according to previ ous agreement, to the Kroonland. Un der the law, immigration officials as serted the company had the privilege to transfer their crews, but it has not the right to bring aliens to America as passengers of one of their ships and change them to the crew of another ship. - . Conviction on such a charge pro vides for a penalty of 1,000 for each alien employed. COUNTER-SUIT AGIST Treasury Officials May Allege the Violation of National Bank Statutes.
