SCHOOL BUILDING TO COST $12,000 NOW PROJECTED Earlham Heights Tangle May Be Settled by This Com- . .promise. Unless patrons of the Earlham Heights school district protest against the action taken by the township advisory board at a meeting last night. District number eleven will have a new 112.000 school building for the children of the district. Members of the advisory board,
wishing to settle the controversy be tween the board and patrons or tne district, last niitht proposed to build a new school building at a cost of $12,000 to be used for. the younger children of the district while the present building for the district will be used for the advanced grades. The site for the new structure, while not definitely determined, probably will be on Easthaven avenue at tne in tersection of Main street. According to the plan of the board, the new building will be a duplicate of the building in Spring Grove. It will be two. stories high and will have a capacity of 150 pupils. Notices will be Issued for bids on the new structure immediately and work on the building started as soon as possible, according to the plan of the board. The final action on the building of the new school house now rests with the petrous of the school who recently filed suit for mandamus against the board. Several of the patrons have al ready expressed their approval of the plan and It is probable that the new building will be erected. On The Boards "The Divorce Question" was the offering at the Murray last evening, nd was well received by a large audience. This play is one of the most sensational plays of the day, dealing as it docs, with the evils of domestic life, the lure of the city and the wickedness and folly of the slums. The Oliver Players, however, present the various situations with a dignity and thoughtfulness that makes the work memorable and highly impressive. The story is of a husband and wife who are divorced. They have two children who are placed in a home, where they are neglected and finally cast adrift on the world. The boy becomes a dope fiend and murders his sister's betrayer. The action of the play from there on takes place in the home of Father Jerome. Ashton Newton as "Dopie Doe" the son, gave a lifelike portrayal of this difficult role and Miss Dunbar appeared to good advantage as the sister Mamie. Pauline LeRoy was the mother. Harry Royal ftirnivhed some amusing comedy. Henry Crosby was the father, and Glen Argo the girl that wanted to be married right away. The final performance will be given Wednesday and will be followed by "Which One Shall I Marry?" a comedy drama of today. THIEVERY STOPPED LONDON, June 26.

Midnight Attack of
Fought Off AN ENGLISH PORT, Jane 26. American naval gunners successfully fought off a big German submarine which attacked an American passenger liner off the coast of Ireland last right. A torpedo fired by the submarine missed its target by less than twenty feet. . A staff correspondent of The Associated Press was talking with the lieutenant in charge of the gun crew when the gunners crowded about the forward pieces, and also the ship's officers on the bridge, sighted the wake of a torpedo as it went spinning toward the bow. The lieutenant Jumped to his station as the lookout cried: "Torpedo and submarine off starboard bow." ' Gun Belches Fire The ship swung around so sharply that the decks were tilted to an angle of 20 degrees. Immediately there came the bark and flash of a gun. Passengers, binding life belts about themselves, swarmed to the decks. The ship's officers hurried among them, counselling calmness. Another gun, this time pointed farther astern, was fired and the projectile in its flight struck a long boom swung over the side to which a long line was attached. The liner at that moment was wallowing between two great waves. The conning tower of the submarine, outlined for a moment against the sky, was all that was visible to the gunners in the darkness. Lose Sight of U-Boat The gunners soon lost sight of the raider in the darkness, however, and w-re unable to tell whether any of the shots fired hit the mark. Two minutes later gunners at the stern of the ship saw a conning tower MILITARY FUNERAL IS HELD FOR COLE EATON, O., June 26. With military honors, the last rites for Levi Cole, 32 years old, member of the Third Regiment band, Ohio National Guard, were held Tuesday afternoon in First Presbyterian church.

U -Boat is
hy American Liner above, the surface of the water, in the wake of the steamer. The vessel was rolling so . heavily that the gunners were unable to get their gun pointed before the submarine again submerged. Every ounce of steam available was fed into the engines and the ship was quickly out of the danger zone. The encounter occurred at midnight after the liner had been in the submarine zone many hours. FIFTY BRITISHERS LOST? BASE OF THE AMERICAN FLOTILLA IN BRITISH WATERS, June 26. One of the' American destroyers in the patrol flotilla reported - this morning that it was unable to find any trace of the fifty members of the crew of a British merchantman which was being attacked by a submarine when the-American craft snatched the Britisher's wireless distress ,call from the air. . "Submarine shelling , us," 'was the first message the destroyer picked up. The position showed the Britisher was ninety miles away, which meant a run of five hours through high seas for the destroyer. The American craft was just getting under full speed when its wireless received the second and final message. It read: "Abandoning ship." Only floating wreckage greeted the American bluejackets when they reached the scene, but they patrolled the vicinity for two days in the hope of finding some survivors. Owing to the high seas it seems doubtful if any of the sunken vessel's crew were saved. FOUNTAIN CITY, IND. ' Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Alexander and family vi3ited in Lynn Sunday afternoon ....

Edward Cottingham, probably the most interesting man in Preble county, died Monday at his home on the Lexington road. He was truly a pioneer of Preble county and held many distinctions. Among. these are numbered the fact that he walked from Eaton to Hamilton to board the first railroad train that ever ran into Preble county. Cottingham was also among the very few who survived the cholera plague which swept Preble county In 1849. He fell a victim to the disease, and for days his life hung in the balance. He also bore the distinction of having worked on the first courthouse erected in Preble county. Masonic Calendar Tuesday, June 26 Richmond lodge, No. 196, F. & A. M.
