PROLONGED CHASE
ENDS IN CAPTURE
Man Tracked through Six States Is
Finally Arrestd In Columbus.
Violated Prohibition Law.

Columbus, Ga, December ESPECIAL j.
After having been followed through five
states Jack Doan, a middle-aged white
man, is under arrest in Columbus, and
Sheriff L. f. Hunter of Buncombe county.
North Carolina, where Doan is wanted,
has asked for the necessary requisition
papers.
Inc sheriff and other officers have been
following Doan six months, tracking him
through the two Carolinas, Virginia, Ten
nessee and finally Georgia. Six months
ago Doan escaped from the court room
at Asheylle, where he was on trial for
violating the prohibition laws. He had
previously served sentence for man
slaughter. He has been working in Co
lumbus for some time, residing at Phoe-
nix City. Ala, just across the state
line.
Doan was very active in the recent
constitutional amendment election in
Phoenix City, and 1t was this fact, GU
riously enough, that led to his identif-
cation.

$. F. league Against The
Ihree-COrnered Fight For Sheriff

AS suggested in The Age-Herald of
Monday, Mr.. league says that it has
been quite almost complete pre-
cedent practice of the democracy of JEFF
ferson county for the last 20 or 30 years
to elect for their sheriffs some one of
her ranks who was not a county Office
holder, and who had not been in the
habit of asking other fayors at the hands
OF the people of the county. If league
should be elected sheriff of Jefferson
county, 1t will not even appear to be
bordering on to a violation of good dem
ocracy or of article $50 of the state con-
stitution, as he will have no lucrative
fees coming to him from any office that

Interstate Doctor Rules.

Doctors residing near the Alabama line,
but in some other state, may under the
law, qualify to practice in Alabama by
having their certificates of right to prac-
tice in their own state recorded in the
office of the judge of probate in the
Alabama county into which they lap over.
This is a provision TO prevent doctors
having to take license in two states.
Most of the other states are liberal along
this line, but Mississippi has a lot of red
tape. For that state a doctor on this
side of the line must secure certifioate
from the secretary of the medical board,
which, at times. takes a lot of writing.
However. the arrangements for over the
line practice with neighboring states il
very pleasing to the Alabama doctors,
even though they would be very glad to
see all of them adopt the Alabama plan.
1t is quicker and cheaper.

Robin" will be the attraction at
the Newark Theatre next week.
Mi. Olcott plays the part of a pictur-
esquo vagabond of noble a~ntecedents,
who, having been driven from home
through the Vaccinations of a Jealous
fostor-brother, Martin Darcy, rambles
about the country as a wandering
minstrel. In the opening scene of the
play he comes to the cottage Of
Andrew Grattan on the morning of the
wedding day of Margaret Grattan to
Martin Darcy. There is an enchanted
well on the farmers property, the
waters of which unite for life any
couple drinking of them. ' Robin
quenches his morning thirst from the
we'll and shortly afterwards Margaret,
nnwittingly, also drinks. The fairy
spell is then woven around the lives OF
the pair, who are drawn irresistibly
toward each other.
Robin accompanies the villagers to
the house for the wedding, and the
spell begins to work actively. Martin
perceives with Jealous rage the fasci-
nation Robin has for his intended bride
and has the minstrel driven from the
house. There is a lapse Of three years
between the econd and third acts.
In the meantime, Martin has died, but
on his deathbed has made a confession
ex%culpating Robin from the misdeeds
of Which he charged him to his father.
The latter has also passed away and
Robin has become Sir Robert Harcourt,
and the possessor of vast estates.
He returns to Inishannon TO find
that great changes have been wrought
there by time in his absence. He
learns that owing to Darcy's e~xtrava-
gance, ruin has been brought upon the
= G~rattans and that they are cutting
turf in a distant bog for a livelihood.
IN a dream he is shown by his fairies
the way across the moor and donning
his old Ragged Robin clothes he dashes
through the night guided by a friendly
wiil-o'-the-wisp. AS dawn breaks over
the hills the lovers are united.
There is an abundance Of music
introduced. not the least of which are
the songs composed by Mr.. Olcott. The
Incidental music is from the pen Of
frederick Knight Logan, who has been
the musical director for Maude Adams
m Peter Pan and other plays. Tho
play is by Rider Johnson Young in
collaboration with Rita Olcott, tho
stars wife.
