.Meeting at Library Very Interesting.
The .'octal meeting h.ld at the li
brary rooms Tuesday evening was a
very intt resting cm, and while the
attendant- was not very large, those
present came away .-tronger boosters
ihan ever for Murray. It is really to
be regretted, that some of tile citizens
uho have little faith in the future of
?d:i!iay were not pri-.-t nt to hear what
was raid, they might have been in
duced to bury their hammer, or be
come a builder. Hon. W. B. Banning
of Union was present and gave a very
ir ten '. ting taik on t'.e future pros
pects of Murray, and as the present
keynote is ii corporation for Mur
ray, this was the "line he spoke on.
His address was very interesting from
l ginning to end. T. S. Barrows ful
lowed Mr. Banning with an address
j or .-hort talk along the same line,
I taking for hi-; theme, "What He
j Would Do If lie Was Mayor of Mur
j ray." Ted sure made a good talk, in
j ten-sting fim the wry beginning, and
I from his iewpoint it looked as though
j Murray would do a wise thing to start
the- incorporation movement at once,
and we believe he ii i i 'i lit, as d.o most
of his lit? ne:s present at the mott-
, ing. Mis- e-s Neva Latta and May
Loughridge favored the audience with
1-eautii'ui solos, which were well re
ceived. Refreshments, consisting of
fruit, salad. sandvi-hes, cake and
coiFee, v. ere served.

is needed in Murray, and if the peo

sibilities of electricity. A number

79 PERISH WHEN
FRENCH LINER IS
SUNK BY U BOAT
Villa De La Ciotat Is Torpedoed
Without Warning in the
Mediterranean.
NO AMERICANS WERE ABOARD
Washington, D. C, Dec. 28. Belief
that French Chief of Staff Castelnau
was aboard the French liner Villa
de la Ciotat led to the unwarned
torpedoing of the vessel and the loss
of seventy-nine lives, according to a
Paris dispatch today.
Two women and two children were
among the drowned when a subma
rine of unknown nationality at 10:13
a. m. cn Friday torpedoed the Villa
e'e la Ciotat without warning in the
Mediterranean and the ship sank fif
teen minutes later, American Consul
Klebinger at Havre has informed the
state department. The remainder of
the passengers and crew were res
cued. No Americans were aboard.
The following bhipc have been sunk
by submarines within the last forty
eight hours:
Belgian freighter Minstre Beer-nac-rt,
Italian liner Porto Said, and
British freighters Yeddo, Hadley, Em
blema and Cottingham.
.May I5e Austria's Last Attack.
Lack of warning for the Villa de la
Ciotat and Yassaku Maru is regarded
as the most serious feature of the
undersea onslaught.
The new submarine campaign is in
terpreted here as repudiation by Ger
many of her formal agreement with
this nation to warn passenger liners,
or an eleventh hour "drive" by the
Austrian flotilla before giving similar
assurances to the United States.
Concealment of tho nationality of
the attacking submarines has added
to this government's difficulties in fix
ing responsibility and taking action.
The state department plans inquir
ies to the German and Austrian em
bassies and to American representa
tives abroad for information. Ger

As our first year in business is just drawing to a
close, we take this method of thanking you for the liberal
patronage given us. You have had faith in our business
during the past year, and upon the same basis we hope
to merit a continuance of your patronage during 1916.

Happy New Year

man Ambassador Bernstorff returned
from New York today to resume nego
tiations regarding the Lusitania con
troversy. Declares for Aliens' Protection.
The new attacks without warning
redoubled determination of officials
to insist upon prompt subscription by
Austria to the principles of interna
tional law. If German, rather than
Austrian submarines, were responsi
ble for the unwarned torpedoing of
the Japanese vessel, Yasaka Maru,
and other lins, the state department
is prepared to make prompt demand
for an explanation of the apparent
violation of Count von Bernstorff's
written pledge.
Immunity from attack without
warning, officials point out, extends to
all passenger liners, regardless of
whether or not American lives are lost
or imperiled.
W. J. Leigh, the American aboard
the Japanese liner Yasaka Maru
when it was torpedoed, had no Ameri
can passport. It has been intimated
that he was traveling on a British
passport. Whether or not this will af
fect the negotiations is unknown.
BRYAN CANCELS PASSAGE;
WON'T JOIN FORD PARTY
New York, Dec. 28. Ex-Secretary
of State W. J. Bryan and Mrs. Bryan
cancelled their passage on the liner
Rotterdam, which sailed today, and
on which they had intended to go to
Europe to join the F.-rd peace party.
The cancellation, it is said, was due
to the fact that Henry Ford is return
ing to America.
Originally, it has bpn stated, Bryan
intended to go to Europe with Brand
Whitlock, who sailed on the Rotter
dam, and they, with Ford, were to go
to Berlin for a conference with Chan
cellor von Bethmann-llollweg.
Ford's "press censor," R. B. Ber
man, has returned here. His duty was
to censor all dispatches sent from the
peace ship, but so many of the dele
gates sent interviews that he was
called upon to censor 40,000 words a
day. He resigned.
George Thomas was among those
going to Omaha this morning, where
he was called to look after some mat
ters for his meat market in this city.
