How the Squad Of Policemen
 Was Called to Chambers Hill

torIcal form it would specify that the half dozen Montgomery blue coats pulled off this heroic storm on Cham bers' Hill somewhere between the hours of 8 and o'clock Friday evening. But history may never be able to dish up to the public the details of the charge.
 Suffice it to say that about the hour hereinsb bove mentioned on the above specified date. there came a call to Ser geant Ragland at the police station The telephone rang. MT. Ragland answered. A male voice. with inton- ations of distress. appraised the police that two negro robbers. burglars or probably highwaymen or murderers. accompanied by a white man bent on crime. had captured man in the neighborhood, of Chambers Hill. The williams had taken their cplprit to Chambers Hill and he might have been murdered by that hour. So the inform CT stated and asked for immediate po- lice assistance
 Chambers Hill Is somewhere in North Montgomery or near there So Ave of their number. led by Captain smith. armed with every available weapon, proceeded in that direction.
 The sheriff's office heard the hews and it is told that deputy sherin and a constable. each carrying a double
  mems party, all going at two-forty clip to Chambers Hill. The hill was searched. Every inch of soil for hun dreds of yards around was secured |. Flash light electric lanters were brought into play. Nothing. not even a foot print of a likely criminal. was dis covered The squad of re-enforced cops were unable to even locate the source of the telephone call.
 Was if a hoax? That was the uues- ton they asked themselves It might have been a joke and 1t might not have been. The mere fact that there had previously been scattering unfounded rumors of the appearance of such deH- peradoes in the vicinity of Chambers Hill was the only basis the police had at the time for believing the horrify- ing account of the person who called ur Sergeant Ragiand.
 That's the end of the story, because no more can be found out about it, ex- cept that at last accounts the police had their eyes on person whom they sus- nactad of having called them on the useless errand to Chambers Hill.

NEGRO ESCAPES DEATH
 BY FRACTION OF INCH
Hig Cash Lays Open side of Neck and Barely Misses the JuguIar
 Vein.

With, long, ugly gash extending across the left side of his neck, Lewis Red. a negro. reached police headquar- ters early yesterday afternoon. seeking immediate surgical aid.
 The cut had been inflicted by knife alleged to have been in the hand of Bill Scrutchens, a negro. The wound ed negro was bleeding profusely.
 The gaping wound extended from back of the ear almost to the Adams apple, and only by the narrowest mar ingin did the negro escape death. A fraction of an inch deeper and the knife would have certainly severed the jugular vein.
 pr. Grsil sewed up the wound and the negro was taken to his home with no indications of serious results from his injury.
 Red was cut in a difficulty with Blll Scrutchens in the vicinity of the brew cry early yesterday afternoon.
 Caleb Red, a brother of the wounded negro swore out a warrant charging Scrutchens with assault to murder and at 4 o'clock he was arrested by Pa- trolmen Roberts and Crossland.
 His preliminary is set for this at- ternoon before the Recorder.

ROOSEVELT PLANS
TO TOUR WORLD
HUNT IN INDIA, PHILIPPINE TRIP
AND HISTORY WRITING AFTER
HIS RETIREMENT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-" Specky,
when | get off the job, l am going over
and see your boss"
This was President Roosevelts col
loyuial method of telling Speck Won
Sternberg, the German ambassador at
a recent luncheon his intention of Wis
iting Germany after he retires from
the presidency, and seeing Emperor
William
This is part Of one plan the Presi-
dent is considering for the disposal Of
his time after he retires from office.
He has not decided yet exactly what he
will do, but has confided his various
projects so freely to his intimate
friends that it is possible to specify
the three things that now are being
considered most seriously, They are
these:
First-To write a history of his adj
ministration, to consume the greater
part of his time for two years.
Second-A big game hunt that would
take him to India, Africa and possibly
Alaska
Third-A trip to Europe and visit
to England and all the continental
capitals, with the possibility of a trip
around the world, stopping in the
Philippines.
These eliminate the possibility OF
his being candidate to succeed Sena-
tor T, c. Platt or of his taking an
active part in any form of practical
| politics. and also of his accepting the
presidency Of Harvard or any Other
! university.
The trip around the world is re-
garded as a certainty, and it is prob
ably that his historical work will fol-
low Immediately after.
