up this afternoon on the charge OF
receiving stolen property and also
being held for the officers OF Monroe
on the charge OF car-breaking.
Mr.. NJ. p. Coley suffered the loss OF
a pistol from his residence several
days ago. The cook was suspected OF
taking the weapon. but a search OF
her house failed to reveal the stolen
property. This morning Stateman
was caught In the act Of taking the
stolen pistol from a repair shop where
he had II oyerhauled. He declared
that he found Il on Peachtree alley.
but some third degree work revealed
the fact that be had perhaps been a
party TO the theft. and also that he
was wanted in Monroe for car rob
berry.

ment. was introduced in the legisla-
ture yesterday by General Carr. The

the salary OF Mr.. !. J. Thaxton. he

creased.
A separate bill was introduced BY

The clerk OF the recorders court also
asked for an increase in salary, but
this was also refused al the request
of the Merchants association.

WHAT 1T MEANS TO THE SOUTH
AND OUR PEOPLE.

The back home movement inaugu-
rated In North Carolina and origi-
mated by w. d. Roberts, of the
clinchfield railroad, can be made to
contribute more to the people of
Virginia, North Carolina and the
south than any other propaganda
that has been introduced In SO years.
The proposition is simple one. All
that is necessary is for every resi-
dent of the state to show an interest
in bringing back the friends and rel
atives that have gone out into other
territories to seek their fortune and
a new home.
The railroads show an unusual in
terest by their hearty cooperation
and willingness to distribute litera'
ture abundantly showing the unusual
possibilities that await homeseekers
newcomers and returning friends
who come down to help US share In
the many bounties that have beer
extended to US within the past II
years.
+. II. LaBaume. OF the Norfolk
and Western railroad, has just is
sued a lot OF illustrated booklets
relative to poultry and live stoci
raising. general farming, truck rails
ing and fruit growing. In addition e
the large illustrated quarterly maya
zine (The Southern Homeseekers anf
Investors Guide.)
Any resident OF Virginia or Nortl
Carolina who will send in names o
absent friends and relatives will con
fer a favor not only upon thes
friends, but upon themselves and tn
state as well by sending the name
or these people residing in the nortl
and west. so that Mr.. LaBaume cal
send them an attractive assortmen
OF literature. maps, rates. ETC., an
a most urgent invitation to com
down and investigate our section.

between Champ Clark. OF Missouri,
the next speaker Of the house, and
Senator Joseph Weldon Bailey. OF
Texas, the real, though not the nomi-
nal. democratic leader In the senate.
True. Mr.. Clark and Senator Bailey
have not had an open ruction. But
they have been drawing farther and
farther apart on what promises TO be
the biggest question before the next
congress. ,ariff revision. and all that
appertalns 10 the tarir.
About two weeks ago. In Baltimore,
at the rally and banquet which was
expected to develop democratic har-
mony. there appeared distinct line
OF cleavage between NJ. Clark and
Senator Bailey. The Missouri leader
spoke out for revision OF separate
schedules. The Texas senator was
opposed 70 revision OF separate sched-
ules and wanted general revision
This difference OF opinion was widely
recommended on al the time.
Now another acute difference has
developed on the tariff commission

Penn. OUT OF
The Big -FOUR

Philadelphia, Jan. 1S.--The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania will not play
either Princeton or Harvard on the
gridiron in 1911, but the quakers have
things framed for a double big game
the following year. The red and blue
has started to fix its policy of eligi-
bility, so that by that time they will
have the same code as the Cambridge
and Jungletown teams. That is about
all needed at present to form the all
lance with the Jersey and Massachu-
sets elevens.
The fact that Roy Mercer, the cap
tain of this years eleven, is a medical
student prevents the collegiate restric-
ton from being pushed into the Penn
laws. Mercer, if the suggestion passes
the football committee and the board
of directors. will be ineligible in 1918,
his last season with the West Phila-
delphia institution.
Neither the crimson nor the sons of
Nassau bear any grudge against the
red and blue. Old wounds have healed.
the 1894 incidents of the tiger and the
quaker, the 1905 disagreement between
the sons of Harvard and William
PENIS pupils is lost in the pages of
past history.

Additional Sports
SWIMMER Will
BREAK RECORDS

st. Louis, Jan 29,--Harry ]. Hebner
of the Illinois Athletic club modestly
asserts that he will smash inter smith
Greens a few records for fin Topping
between the so and 100 yard marks
when the dual meet between his team
and the M, A. c. aquatic dogs is held
in the local tank Jan. %. Hebner
is sincere in his threat, and has written
to Frank Sullivan swimming instruct
or of the M. G. A., of his intentions.
Habner is the American champion at
back stroke swimming, having won
the championship at the Missouri Ath-
letic club last March He also holds
the worlds records for 100 yards and
$50 yards 1.12 and 1856 2-5, respect
fully. In a letter to Frank j. Sulli-
van, who was Hebner's former coach,
he states that with a weeks training
he will be able to cover the 100 yards
in 1:10 or better and the $50 yards in
less than 1855.
Hebner writes that his teammate,
Perry McGillivray, is swimming much
faster than 100 yards in straight speed
swimming than he (Hebner) is, but
this is hardly believed by local pad
, dlers. Hebner has record Of :57 As
for the century, and the members of
the Cherry Diamond club are anxious
ly waiting for the coming duel be-
tween Dick F'rizelle and Hebner in
the 100.
Frizelle's great showing Thursday
evening, when he negotiated the so in

of Charles M. Daniels worlds mark,
stamps the NJ. A. G. man as sure
enough star. Sullivan thinks Frizelle
will eventually dethrone Daniels, and
at present Sullivan is grooming the
M. A. c. boy for his fete. Daniels re-
Gently claimed that he would re-enter
the game and just as soon as he does
Sullivan win try to book a meeting
for him with Frizelle.
