valley wells are being put down, n cen.

with this power the farmer can pump

Local Detective Returns From
Trip to Michigan
TELLS OF HIS EXPERIENCE
AS Newport News Man Left House AZ.
ter Talking With Alleged Embezzler
and His Wife, Detroit officer Walk
ed In With Warrant.

Detective w. A. Crump. of this city.
who located and was responsible FOR
the arrest of Milton X. Mock. alias
Abraham NJ. Meyer, at Detroit. Mich,
last Sunday night, Returned TO tnis
city yesterday morning from Detroit
via New York Mr.. Crump states that
the warrant on which Mock was ar
rested IL identical with the one issued
here for him soon after he dlsap-
reared and that Il charges him with
the emhezzlement of $1,000.
Mock is to be brought TO this city
from Detroit and will be given pre-
liminary airing before United States
Commissioner A. c. Garrett before ne
Is taken TO Norfolk 10 be tried In the
United States District Court. AT this
time Il Is not known when he VIII
come here In company with deputy
United States marshal from Detroit
Visits Noek's Home.
Mr.. Crump said yesterday that the
report that he arrested Mock In COM
many with Detective Parker. Of De-
troit. is an error. He located the
missing auditor and made Il possible
for The Detroit police to arrest him.
Mr.. Cr,imp arrived In Detroit last sat
urday morning and located Mock that
evening He called at the missing au-
ditor's home Sunday evening and
spent an hour talking with Mock and
his wife. who was Miss Fannie Oser,
of this city.
When the local detective left Mock
accompanied him TO the door and as
Mir. Crump walked of the porch De-
tective Parker walked In and asked
for abraham Meyer. Mock replied
that that was his name and the de-
tectiye told him that he was under ar
rest on charge of embezzlement.
Mr.. Crump had continued on and had
not stopped to see the arrest. Suisse
ouently the detective told him that
Nock's only statement when arrested
was MY God"
Reports Are Erroneous.
Mr.. Crump went on to say that the
report that Mrs. Mock asked to be ar
rested Is absolutely without founda-
ton. He said that she did not ask
the authorities TO lock her up with
her husband. She will return here
when Mock Is brought back for trial.
Continuing. Mr. Crump said that the
idea entertained here that no effort
was icing made TO arrest Mock was
erroneous. He declared that detectives
have been searching for the man eve.
since he left this city last July. They
traced him as far as Cleveland. Ohio,
but lost the trail there.
Held Many Positions.
Since his stay In Detroit. the detec-
tive saws. Neck has worked in q num-
Der af places and has held some good
positions including one as credit clerk
with big cheese company. He was
forced 70 give UP some CT them, he
says because he could not get bond
ing company to go on his bond as he
could give no references Of farmer en-
picyment.
NJ. Crua,p says that Mock had m
tended TO LAY cH'' during the week
hat the Els met In Detroit, but the
local tlks arrived there sooner than
he expected :hcy would and some OF
them hailed him on the street upon
the very dav Of their arrival He then

Fashion Odds and Ends.

Dame Fashion has placed her stamp
of approval on the short coat and
scant, plain skirt. She will also
favor the one-piece coat dress for the
winter and late autumn wear. But
she recommends a touch of black in
the way OF satin cordings or braid.
The deep sailor collar will be more
popular than ever. and IL can be trim
med with either fur or MORE bands
The high waist line is in vogue and
trimmings can be used wherever shir-
rings would answer.
The collarless neck is popular. but
woman should never take up the
style when it is unbecoming to her.
Sleeves may be either long or short
according to the type of gown, but
they should always be small
Velvet Is now as fashionable for
evening gowns as for afternoon and
street costumes.
The long jackets with tailor-made
have ceased~to exist, and the very
short ones have not yet appeared.
The tightly fitting. hip encir~ling kind
is the most popular and most attrac-
tive model yet produced
