CREEK FORT IS CAPTURED:
Washington, Aug. 26. Admiral
Helm's submarine flotilla, which lias
already sustained severe losses, was
the only portion of the defending fleet
remaining to contest the landing.
The annihilation of trie defending
feet was reported to the Navy depart
ment in the following wireless mes
sage from the chief umpire:
"Discontinued battleship engage
ment at 11:10 a. m. Red forces again
control of the sea. Cannot call prob
lem yet."
Other messages showed that Rear
Admiral Helm's battle squadron,
steaming in column formation, struck
the hostile column at right angles.
The leading defending battleships
were forced to bear off, paralleling
the Red column to avoid collision.
As each defending rhip rounded the
turn, the fire of half of Admiral
Mayo's ships was concentrated upon
it, duplicating the incident in the re
cent North sea battle, in which sev
eral battle cruisers were sunk. The
umpires ruled that the blue battle
ships had met the same fate and or
dered action discontinued.
The red transports then moved in
toward the southern end of Long
Island to effect a landing, with the
ajortty of red battle tleet still m-
act to meet the submarine assault.
Later dispatches to tha Navy de
partment announced that the defend
ing submarines had failed to stop the
transport, tnat tne theoretical in
vasion of New ork by a foreign foe
wa? accomplished and that the war
Srame was over.
Dakota Railway
Board Denies Raise
In Express Rates
Pierre, S. D., Aug. 26. (Special
Te1egtm.)wThe State Railway com
mission stands pat on its action refus
ing the express companies operating
in this state the right to increase in
trastate rates.
The Wells-Fargo and American
companies attempted to file a sched
ule of rates, which, they declare, is
based on the orders of the Interstate
Commerce commission, but the state
commission has refused to accept
them and has ordered them returned
to the agent of the companies on the
grounds that the commission does
not assent to any of them and the
further ground that an attempt was
made to file the schedule within less
than the thirty-day limit required
for filings under the state laws.
The attempted filing was on rates
Vto Sioux Falls, Yankton, Mitchell,
Vatertown and Aberdeen, the points
covered in the rate issue raised by
the Sioux City Commercial associa
tion. Borden Arctic Ship

Find Material in War Camps
(Correspondence of The Associated 1'resB.)
Vienna, Aug. 15. The number and :
variety of prisoners of war in the
Austrian camps have presented an al-1
most unprecedented opportunity to j
the students of anthropology. One !
of the most ardent investigators, J'rof.
Vnech of the Academy of Sciences,

Berlin Says Gauls
Kill Wounded Men
In the Trenches
Berlin. Aug. 26. (By Wireless to
Sayville.) The charge that the
French have an organized force
whose duty it is to exterminate all
the Germans found in captured
trenches, is made in a statement is
sued today by the Overseas News
agency.
'"The French some time ago," says
the statement, "introduced a new
fighting system, which is the most
cowardly and flagrant violation of
the laws of war developed up to this
i time. Coincident reports confirm the
tact, not known until now. that with
in companies, special detachments
have been formed with express or
ders to remain behind in captured
trenches and exterminate all Ger
mans yet alive. These troops are
called 'nettoycurs,' (cleaners or
sweepers). Their equipment is not
the rifle, cartridges and bayonet of
other soldiers, but the revolver, knife
and hand ere nadc. Every man,
1 whether wounded or not, whether
; aimed or not, is mercilessly stabbed
or shot.
' "The nettoyeurs arc operating by
order of the commander-in-chief of
the French armies," the statement
savs, "this fact being demonstrated
by an army order found on a dead
French soldier."
Final Round in
Fight for Texas
Senatorship On
Dallas, Tex., Aug. 26. At least 60
per cent of tlje voting strength of
Texas, wfiich numbers about 500,000,
was expected to be polled today in
the run-off primary between Senator
Charles A. Culberson, incumbent, ana
former Governor Oscar B. Colquitt,
for the democratic United State:; sen
atorial nomination. These candidates
received pluralitiees in the primary
of July 22, Colquitt's lead over his
nearest competitor being 31.000.
The question of endorsement of
the national democratic Mexican pol
icy was one of the issues in the race.
Former Governor Colquitt's excep
tions to President Wilson's adminis
tration of Mexican affairs have been
cited as evidence of his alleged dis
cord with the present executive.
British Airmen Drop
Bombs on German
Airship Stations
London, Aug. 26 British aero
planes have made another dash oyer
Belgium, on this occasion penetrating
to the vicinity of Namur, forty-six
miles southeast of Brussels, and bom
barding German airship sheds. One

count of these operations, issued to
day, says:
"Early Friday morning an attack
was carried out by naval aeroplanes
upon enemy airship sheds near Na
mur. The sheds were successfully
bombarded and two of them were hit.
but due to low lying clouds it was
not possible to observe the damage
done. One of our machines failed to
return."

Priest, Beaten by
His Parishioners,
Commits Suicide
Chicago, Aug. 26. Rev. Ignatus
Tomazin, 70 year's old, who resigned
his pastorate of a church in Albany,
Minn., a month" ago after his parish
ioners arc alleged to have attacked
and beaten him, jumped to his death
from the sixth floor of a hotel here
today.
Miss Martha McCluskey, for six
teen years a housekeeper for the aged
priest, said she believed Rev. Mr.
Tomazin committed suicide while
brooding over his church affairs.
"Rev. Mr. Tomazin had trouble
with his parishioners for five years
since he took charge of the church,"
she said. "One night three of the
parishioners came to Father Toma
zin's house and beat him. That
caused him to resign. It broke his
heart, I think."
Miss McCluskey, who is middle
aged, was asleep in another part of
the hotel when the priest's lifeless
body was found.
