* GREAT VICTORY At the Falklands Told by 2 Wireless Man. THE BIGGEST SHIPS OF ADMIRAL VON SPEE MADE FOR MARCONI STATION When Sturdee Signalled That the Scharnhorst and Gneisenan Had Heen Sunk, Wild Cheers Went Up. London, March 4 ing points which do not appear in Admiral Sturdee's report of the Falkland Islands battle are given in a letter from W, A. Lacey, the wire- less operator at the Marconi station at that outpost of the enemy, Lacey says: : "The Germans were well aware of the utility of the station, as a deter mined attempt was made to destroy it on December 7. This day must have been specially set apart by the meteorological diety in charge of the Falkland Islands weather, for con- trary to our usual leaden skies and high winds, the day was perfect Scarcely a ripple on the sea and the clear-cut horizon were both helpful | factors to our outposts in sighting the ®nemy and to our ships in the engagement which followed. "At 7.30 a. m. smoke was!sighted to the southward, which material- ized luto two enemy cruisers and lat- er the smoke of three others was seen, The first two, Gneisenan and Nurnberg, headed straight for the station until they were about four miles off, when they presented their broadsides to us and trained their! guns on the power houre Their movements were clearly visible through glasses. Orders were given to abandon the station---not from the Germans, but from our governor which we did, retiring about 250 yards west, and taking shelter be hind the rocks, whence we had a clear view of the proceedings. "As soon as we were clear the guardship in Stanley Harbor let go two 12-inch shells at the foremost German cruiser, and, considering that the enemy was not visible from the harbor, the shooting was admirable, The shells fell one just forward and one just aft of the Gneisenau. The water right abeam of the Gneisenau ricocheted and landed aboard. The firing was directed from the observa- tory. "The enemy did not jppéar to like being shot at from an invisible bat- tery which outranged their guns, and they turned southeast to get out of range without firing a single shot at . us A parting greeting landed alongside the Gnelsenau, which was by this time stern on. Survivors State that Admiral von Spee, who went down wish his ship, was at a loss to know where those shells! dropped from. { "Meanwhile our. eraisers were forcing steam and put to sea before! the Germans were lost to sight, the | fast British cruisers preceding for scouting work. We re-oceupled the | station and started the engine for! power, working without ships, Im-/ the Germans touched their keys, making indescribable noises by al- tering their spare frequences rapid- | ly. It has never seen my lot to re- | ceive through such a jdmble, anda 1 trust never will be again. Our sig- nalling continued without interrup- tion despite their efforts. { "For about two hours pandemoni- um rained in the ether. After all or- Some interest Justice of Peace Praises | Dr. Chase's | " 5 EE ---------- After Nine Years of Agony He ders had been given by wireless, the working ceased until the Germans tried to work with each other and our fleet returned the compliment by jamming them, with what success we do not know. The Germans disap- peared in' a southeasterly direction with our cruisers in hot pursuit." After some further details, which cover the ground of the official re- port, Lacey continues: > 'At 3 p/m. Admiral! Sturdes made a signal which would have warmed Nelson's heart, and one which £hould be recorded in the annals of the Bri- tish Admiralty: 'God Save the King.' The sigfal was taken up and flung far and wide through space by each of the fleet in turn until it seemed as théugh' it would never cease. 1 can- sider it a privilege to have been one of the few to hear the signal. Had the wireless been in vogue In Nel- son's day, no doubt his memorable signal would have been marconied, "Later the flagship , signalled: Scharnhorst and" Gneisnau sunk. Where are the others?' Immediately the news was received a wild cheer went up from the small band gather- ed jn the power house and we felt justified in drinking to fhe king." Lacey further describes a visit fo the British warships on their return His testimony further disposes of the German claims that the Invincible was badly damaged. "One shell," he saye, "'struck the Hagship's forward turret fairly between the guns, leav- ing scarcely a visible dent in the ar- mor. The superstructure of the flag- ship is perforated with shell splint- ers."

Ban Trench tare r -- : A HELD SECOND ANNUAL BANQUET ON THURSDAY EVENING. The Refusal of the City Council to JRepair the Fair Grounds Buildings Was a Topic of Criticism. The Kingston Industrial . Agricul tural Sopiety held its second ahnual banquet in the British American ho- tel on Thursday evening. The Jan- quet and programme were a pe in every way' and great crédit' due to the committee who worked so en- ergetically in arranging the details. The refusal of the City Council to consider the repairing of the fair grounds was referred to in several of the addresses, and general disnppro- val at the ecouhcil's action was felt. After the very excellent fnenu was partaken of, the preaident o the as- sociation, A. E. Weller, in. a few words, welcomed the guests and in- troduced Ald. R..E. Kent as the first speaker. 3 : Ald. Kent said he very much ap- preciated the efforts of the associa- tion in giving Kingston a fair. For some time the city had had no fair, but R. J. Bushell 'had brought the | matler to the attention of other worthy individuals and .for the fast two years splendid exhibitions had been given. The 'citizens appreciated the work that had been done, and he saw no reason why Kingston jn' time should not have an exhibition that would surpass . Ottawa's. Kingston was better situated. and if it' had mot been for the scarcity of money the council would have financially . helped the 'association this year by repair- ing the buildings. He rogretied shot such action by the council had been found necessary. The speaker was very anxious that the country peo- ple co-operate more with the Horti. cultural Soviety in its shows, C. C. Main. chose as his subject , "Our Heroes." The man who sacri- ficed his time, business opportunities and life if necessary in the defense of his country wns a hero. The man who was a farmer and had no Liking for office yet attended {he agricultural course (there were six this year) to gain a more advanced knowledge of agriculture, was also a hero. Mr. Main advoeated the un. ibn of all the fairs in the "district into an exhibition, agd with such an oR. J. Bushell the larger exhibition would undoubt- edly be a success. "He, too, is a hero," were Mr. Main's concluding Queen's Caiversity to assume to di. words. Dr. A. W. Richardson, in his usual eloquent style, complimented the | splendid attendance of ladies. He said that he was "ashamed of the action | that had been taken by the City i City Council in refusing to repair the | fair grounds buildings." The proposi- ftion was too good for the city, bet- ter than it deserved, and might never bé made again. Dean Starr spoke of the heroes over- seas. Many splendid men have gone to the front, he said, and when the | time comes for the V.U's to he dis- | tributed, he hoped that the men | the County of Frontenac would merit | recognition. Canada was only gradu- | { ally realizing the: seriousness of this | war: The speaker knew that war is | | a necessity and was glad that God | would use England in such a God: | | given cause. Agriculture, he said, was { the basis of everything, and, the work | | must be carried on more intelligently and strenuously now than ever. Miss Mary Yates, Port Credit, a iow words on "The Management, of | Poultry," and promised to return in the near future to give' a more de tailed address.

Case Heard by Justice Sutherland at Napanee--The Judge Reprimand- ed the Accused for His Ardunous Wooing. ' Napanee, March 4.--At the Court of Assize held in Napanee this week the . case of William Wells, charged with sending a threatening letter to one Margery L. Young, was heard before Justice Sutherland. The crown pro- secutor, Mr. Hutchinson, outlined the case briefly, and then proceeded to call the witnesses. Mrs. Deshane spoke of a letter that had been left in her care by Wells in December last, with the request that | it be given to Margery Young, if she came to town. Asked what became of the letter, witness said that a Mrs. Grass had taken it. Under _cross-examination by W. 1. Hertington for = the defence, witress | did' not know taken it, nor did she know by what authority it was taken from her pos- session, neither did she make any at- tempt to retain the letter. Mrs. Grass was a- neighbor, and she knew her family well. Asked why she allowed Mrs. Grass to take the letter, witness said she could not help it. ! Mrs. Grass was then called, "and said no one had given her authority to take the letter, nor could she, give any satisfactory answer why she took it. Witness then admitted that she had given the letter fo Luke Young, an uncle of Margery Young. Asked if she knew the contents, witness re plied no, as the letter Was unopened when shé gave it to Mr. Young. Luke Young, \dolphustown, uncls of the girl, was the next witness, And said that Margery Young was his niece, and had lived with him for about four years, and that Mrs. Grass had 'given him a letter, on or about December '28th, 1914. It was sealed and addressed to Margery Young. Wit ness said he opened the letter and read .it. = Asked if he always opensd his niece's letters, he replied that sometimes he did and there was no objection made by her. Witness was then asked what he did with the let ter. He replied that he came to town and showed it to ( hief Graham | and High Constable Vankoughnet, aud that he was advised to give the 1: ter to the girl, which he did, with the result that a comylaint was made to Police Magistrate Rankin, who issued a warrant for the arrest of Wells. Margery L. Young was the next witness and modestly admitted her age to be seventeen. She had known Wells for a short time previous to re- celving the letter in question, and had stayed with Mrs. Deshane for about three weeks during the months of November and December of last year. She had received a previous letter which she had burnt when she went back to her unele's at Adolphus- town. She identified the letter pro- duced in court as the one which had been handed her by her uncle. Under cross-examination by the counsel for the defence, a good deal ! of merriment was caused by the en- dearing terms and other love tokens which is said to have been in a letter she sent to Wells. There was a good deal of discrepancy in the testimony | of the witffésses at the preliminary | Learing before P. M. Rankin and the evidence given to-day, Alter some arguments between the crown prosecutor and his ordship as to the point of law, whether the ac- cused did actually cause to be deliv- ered to M. Young the said letter, the frown prosecutor addressed the jury, pointing out some technicality in the {case with reference to the actual de- | livery of the letter and the intent! thergof. Mr. Herrington for the defence rather humorously addressed the Jury on love-sick youths and maidens, who sometimes said and did things | which they afterwards egretied and 'pleaded fof an acquittal, J ! in summing up, his ioraship ex- plained to the jury the nature of the | letter which contained in one plage | the words, "I will kill you on the spot," and in another place, "I will | either attend your wedding or your funeral." : } The jury retired for a short tinte and brought in 'a verdict of mot' guilty, with the recommendation | that 'the accused be reprimanded by the court.. The judge concurred in] this, 'warned Wells as to his future. conduct, and- then discharged him | from custody. © = |.'
