ATTEMPT WAS MADE
TO DAMAGE
STEAMSHIP
I"OBT ARTHUR, Tex., June 17.That
an attempt was made to sink or damage
the Mai lory line steamship San Marcos
by opening a seacock four weeks ago
was revealed here today when an insur
ance adjuster offered for Rale 7j tons of
news print, hundreds of bags of coffee
and a large quanttiy of Texas school
books, which were damaged by water.
The damage was caused from the open
ing of a groat seacock on the San Marcos
while en route to Port Arthur from Gal
veston on its first trip to this port after
the Mallory line had divered its traffic
from Galveson owing to the longshore
men's strike. Later the seacock was
cloned as sescretly as it had been opened
and federal authorities who are investi
gating announced they had been unable
to fix responsibility. The water in the
hold of the ship was not discovered for
several days when the work of unloading
here was started.

Mr. Jonas, we believe it was our mem

' Mr. Quickel received a handsome vote
in Lincoln and Cleveland counties, and
ran third.
; Mr. Quickel was informed -when he en
tered the race late that he had no chance,
but that he would serve to defeat a Ca

Mr. Quickel, who had a perfect right to
ran,' received much encouragement from
another county namely, Cleveland. '
. At the same time that the IReeord was

New Orleans Priest Tarns Out Lights
When Bride Approaches Altar in
"Shocking" Attire.
NEW ORLEANS, June 16. wed
ding ceremony in St. Louis cathedral was
postponed several hours today because
the officiating priest, Father Antoine of
the Order of Obiate Fathers of Mary Im
maculate, declared the bride was immod
estly attired and violated a recent order
of Archbishop Shaw of the diocese of
New Orleans relative to wearing apparel.
The priest declared the bride appeared
to him "so shocking that he had the sex
ton put out the rights so that she might
retire and properly clothe herself."
Although he declined to divulge the
name of the bride he declared she ' ' want
ed to fly in society style at her wedding,
'much to her disgrace."
Everything had been prepared for the
wedding and the bridegroom was in the
edifice. The altars were ablaze with can
dles and the electric lights in every part
of the ancient cathedral were lighted.
The bride started up the main aisle but
had not gone far before the priest viewed
the gown, ordered the lights out and sent
her home to assume other garments. The
marriage ceremony then was performed.
HELPING BOOST GASTONIA
The Citizens National Rank has lately
been publishing a series of pamphlet
describing Gastouia and Gaston county,
and these have been sent broadcast over
the state. The remarkable growth of
the cotton mill and banking businesses
has been featured and attractive descrip
tions of the other facilities of the city
have also been included in these folders.
Such advertising as this will make the
people of the state sit up and take no
tice of Gustonia. A growth of.l2.'i per
cent in the last ten years is a great
record, but to keep this percentage of
gain for the coining ten years, we must
all keep boosting. We are glad to see
the Citizens National Hank taking the
lead in this.

Father Has Been Swindled of
' 12,000 Following False
Clue Abandons Case t o
Police.
(By Associated Press)
N0RRI8T0WN, Pa., June 17. The
police again today took up the search
for 13 months old Blakely Coughlin,
stolen from his crib on June 2. At the
same time they were looking for a per
son known only as "The Crank" who
swindled George H. Coughlin, the baby's
lather, of $12,000, which was demanded
for the return of the little fellow.
After receiving several letters and tele
phone calls from "The Crank," Cough
lin Itecame convinced he was the abductor
and asked the police to withdraw from
the case so he personally could negotiate
with the writer. "The Crank" at first
demanded only $6,000 ransom, but later
doubled it. On Monday he called Mr.
Coughlin on the telephone, and gave his
instructions where to leave the money.
He acquiesced in a request of the father
that another man not connected with the
police department accompany him to the
spot, but designated they should not go
to the place before midnight, and that
they must deposit the cash and drive
away without making the slightest at
tempt to discover his identity. The child
would be returned in a taxicab, "The
Crank" said, within 24 hours.
Mr. Coughlin said he had complied
with every demand of the kidnapper and
felt confident the baby would be returned
Tuesday night. Both he and Mrs.
Coughlin remained up all night At thre
o 'clock the next afternoon he drove to the
spot where he left the money and found
it gone. He then gave up hope, he said,
and realized that he had been defrauded.
He placed the case in the hands of the
authorities last night and announced he
had abandoned all desire of dealing di
rectly with the abductors, who had been
promised immunity if the child was re
turned. With the latest developments in the
case, both the police and the Coughlin s
have abandoned the theory that the baby
was kidnapped for ransom. They are in
dined to believe tiiat revenge was the
motive. Charles Eller, chief of the Nor
ristown police, said he had a definite clue
anil expected results within a day or two.

"I don't know whether you evr heard ;
of him or not," said yesterday a former j
Anderson county man who now lives in .
York couutv. "but we have living in I
Anderson county a weather prophet
whom we call ' Fessor Hicks,' who has
quite a reputation as a weather prognns-tii-ator.
His prophecies usually turn out
pretty well. I notice this, his latest
prediction in a copy of an Anderson'
newspaper to which newspaper I sub
scrilie :
'Feasor Hicks, the local weather pro
phet, came into Anderson this morning
with a heart laden with sorrow. Dire
happenings will come to pass, or else this
well known prognosticator will err. and
with a record of predicting of sixty years
duration, it seems time indeed for Ander
sonians to dig a cyclone pit. buy some ex
tra lightning rods and take out insur
ance on persons, livestock, growing crop,
etc.. nd infinitum.
'This summer is going to be the most
trying summer I have ever predicted,"
stoutly maintains the professor. "Thun
der storms, hail storms, rain, and wind
will play havoc, in Anderson county.
Thousands of people will be killed by
lightning along, and livestock by the
score will be killed. Growing crops will
literally be wiped out by the heavy hail
and wind storms, and bottom lands will
be flooded." -

displayed on the part of the American
business man," he declared, "towards
co-operation with the farmer in mflUpg
his surroundings more attractive. The
business men are dependent upon the
farmer to the greatest degree for their
