THE sympathetic strike has been the
last straw. the one that made the union
too heavy for employers to carry, and has
brought them to a realization of the fact
that hereafter the man or the union that
interferes with business enterprise is
invading the rights Of the owner, for
which he can and will be punished. 1t

The citizens association requested

TAKEN BACK TO KERNERSvIlLE
ROBBER OF BANK RETURNS TO
SCENE OF HIS CRIME.
Confesses His Theft and Manifests a
Desire to Restore as Much of the
Stolen Money as Possible.

When the Southern railway train that
left here at 9 o'clock this morning reaches
kernersville at 7:1J O'Clock this evening
there will probably be a delegation of
bank officials at the station to meet and
welcome Gather c. Bodenhamer II will
not be welcome accorded the young man
because of his personal popularity. but
because he confessed that he had carried
off the funds of the Forsyth Bank and
Trust Company. and had actually assisted
in the recovery of most of the $3.50 he
had taken.
Sheriff Flint came here early this morn
ing with a warrant for the arrest of the
young man. Such a paper was not really
necessary, however. Bodenhamer having
expressed a willingness to return without
demanding legal formalities. Detective
J. r. Saville, who had caused the arrest
of the young man. returned from ker-
nersville last night. having gone there
and recovered about $1,000 of the stolen
money.
When Bodenhamer made a confession of
his theft he said he was willing to do
what he could to restore the money. Part
of it. he admitted, he had buried under
the porch at the home of his parents and
Detective Saville found the cash in a glass
jar at tne place lnQlCdteu MeIHUtIS vi
the board OF directors of the bank were
highly elated thereat. they had feared
none of the money would he recovered.
A meeting of the board was held at the
bank shortly after the loss was discov-
cred and when 1t became known that
Bodenhamer had committed the theft it
was recalled that one member of the
board had helped him out of several
troubles about checks.
And" he remarked this is the way 1
have been repaid"
Inspector Boardman turned over to the
sheriff jewelry and cash amounting to
about 500. which. with the $1,000 recov-
cred in Kernersville. will mean the res
toration of about $1,000. Detectives Cox
and Berman, who assisted in making the
arrest of Bodenhamer, went to the Union
station this morning with Capt. Seville
and saw the sheriff and prisoner off.

Edward Howard Griggs Lectures a
All Souls Church.

That art reflects personality, tenn
permanent and experience of the artist
was maintained by Edward Howard
Griggs in the second lecture of his
course on art and the human spirit, en-
titled 1.-THE Race. the Epoch and the
Individual in Art at All Souls Church
last night.
I'VE reflect what is In the atmosphere
of our time" said the lecturer. Dante
EXPRESSED the rugged spirit of medic
val times; Shakespeare the dramatic
spirit that pervaded the English poetry
of his day. Modern poetry is lyric be-
cause the tendency Of the times runs
that way.
There are those that stand out and
above others of their times. because
their art is ahead of their age. Milton
rose higher above his age than did
Shakespeare above his. Michael Angelo
stands as great mountain towering
far above all others.
A racial type or conscientiousness is
the deeper background molding the
works Of art, he asserted. The art o:
Greece was in it's sculpture. the most
limited of all art, because the Greek
loved life and the earth. What was be-
yond to him was but shadow.
The Anglo Saxon mas MS art In tEe
drama The German finds normal ex-
preston of his imagination in music.
The art of Fra Angelica was CON-
pared with that of Fra Lippo Lippi.
both products of monastic life, reflect
ing in the former the higher spiritual
ity, and in the latter, as shown by his
earthly and naturaliStic frescoeS, his
unfitness for the vows he had taken.
Touching upon Oscar Wilde and his
"Salome": rs there any other modern
man who could have created it?" he
asked.
DR.. Griggs said that while the Ameri-
can people are studying toward art.
rather than art itself, and while their
potentiality, because of the heteroge-
neous mixture of different races may be
very great, he did not care to risk an
expression Of opinion as to the form
American art would take when the
American spirit of art had developed.
He does not consider that America j
industrial development Is a great help
toward attainment of artistic spirit an,l
temperament, except that it may pro-
duce the means to provide the leisure
required. A man who has to work
sixteen hours a day, he says, has little
room in his soul and little energy In
his body left for art.
These lectures are given for the ben
eft of the Washington Fairgrounds.
The next lecture will be given March
3, at All Souls Church, on "The Mean :
ing and Function of Sculpture and

LITTLE SEA FOOD FOR LENT.
Market to Be Replenished by Larger
Receipts Today.

The first day Of Lent found both the
Washington fish and oyster markets
poorly supplied. In consequences prices
on sea foods have advanced.
Yesterday, lying at the oyster wharf.
there were but a half dozen vessels with
bivalves aboard. Their total cargoes
are less than a thousand bushels. An
increase in the supply is looked for, pos
sibly by this evening.
Today prices at the oyster wharf run
from e. cents per bushel up to $50 for
extra fine stock. There is no shortage in
the supply in the city. Most uptown
dealers have stock on hand sufficient to
last until oyster-laden boats begin to
arrive from down river.
In consequence of the storm on the
coast receipts of fresh fish have been light
the past two days, while demand has
been. heavy. Shad and herring from
North Carolina continue to be received
by the dealers, but as yet few If any
are coming from the nets in the Potomac
There has. however, been an increase in
the catch of bunch fish in the river. but
the receipts are not heavy. The dealers
are looking for an increase in the supply
within the next few days.
