The result was the capture OF one
hlockader named George Vickers-
Another man. John Brame. 10 had
been thought had escaped, and by
wire early this morning Marshal Mil
likan secured authority for Offering a
reward OF 800 for his capture, and
the reward was published In the
Greensboro morning papers. Pretty

So DispIeased Its Mistress She Refus
esT To Enter Place


OF all the appalling waste of wealth
at Newport, there is none more IL
eXplicable to the outside world than
the leaving idle of enormous establish
ments that cost millions to build, and
millions more to keep up. Some of
these palaces have surrounding lawns
and gardens covering as much as ten
acres; but most of them lie close to-
gether in bewildering succession. In
Europe such magnificent structures
many hundred acres. The Newport
villa is built, however no, for COM
fort, not in rhyme or reason, but pure
ly for show. 1t is stage setting,
gorgeous surely, but suggesting Meth
er solidity nor permanency.
One is surrounded by u tree covered
wall. which cost over one hundred
thousand dollars. 1t is empty; the
owner is away in Europe. The white
marble palace. a Vanderbilt residence,
is also unoccupied. There's The
Breakers also owned by the Wander
bits, the maintenance of which costs
a half-million dollars season, says
the Broadway Magazine. And the Ber-
wind villa, the garden of which cost
hundreds of thousands and yet SO dis
pleased it's mistress that she turned it
over to her servants and will not
enter it, is also idle.
You note splendid trees in some OF
the yards. They have been trans
planted, most of them. from many
miles inland That beautiful tree with
the great trunk and spreading branch
es was hauled thirty miles by fifteen
teams of horses, with many tons Of
earth clinging to its roots. It's re-
moval cost nearly thousand dollars

total of Newport extravagances.

While this university has no official

work has been taken up as yet, and
there are about forty students, with

STAGE OVERTURNED
On TOP Of PEOPLE

A japanese stage returning from the
Sunday school exhibition at Waikane
on Sunday was turned over at Wailau,
through the carelessness of the driver
and the fact that the mules were not
tame. Mr.. Domingo, the assistant
teacher of the Kaneohe school, was on
the stage with several little children.
He and they were under the cart for a
minute or two.
On fomer occasions John Bell has al
ways done the staging and never a
mishap occurred, but on this occasion
it was different. On hearing of the
accident Mr.. Bell promptly ordered one
of his stages to go at once and bring
the unfortunates home
