STAUNTON TO OBSERVE
THANKSGIVING TODAY
Occasion Will Be Marked By
General Suspension Of Business
SPECIAL SERVICES TO
BE HELD IN CHURCHES
Hundreds of Visitors Expected
Here to Enjoy Attractions
Day Will Offer

Meleagris Americana is the ma
tional bird today, and the eagle is
sulking in the corner forgotten while
the whole country shifts the savory
odor of roasting turkey and halls
with delight the appearance of the
gobbler on the table.
1t is Thanksgiving Day.
"A hundred years ago there was no
occasion such as is celebrated today,
except in New England. 1t was only
little over forty years ago that the
people all over the United States be-
gan to observe Thanksgiving. Be-
fore that if one did not live in BOs-
ton or very close to it he would
probably never have eaten Thanks
giving dinner; for it was the Puri-
tans that raised the big bird to a
place in history and made it's ap-
pearance inevitable on Thanksgiving
and Christmas along with the other
good things of the season.
Thanksgiving is the one purely
American festival. 1t is the one day
in the whole year when people, re-
gardless of denomination, unite in
giving thanks to a mericful provi-
dence for the blessings bestowed
upon us. 1t is possible, therefore,
that it is the most generally observed
day Of the year.
Staunton will observe Thanksgiv-
ing in it's usual way. Places of busi-
ness will be closed and there will
be. general suspension of labor so
far as is possible. Holiday hours
will be in force at the post oce in
accordance with the schedule an
nounced by Postmaster S. Brown Al
len. Special Thanksgiving services
will be held in some of the churches
and special musical programs have
been prepared. Tonight will wit
ness many affairs of social nature.
The main attraction this afternoon
will be the football game at Ath-
letic Park, by the old rivals, Kable's
and Fishburne's. Practically every
one in town is expected to witness the
gridircn struggle and in addition
there will likely be several hundred
people here from Wayensboro and
other near by places. Every indica-
ton points to recOrd-breaking 6
crowd.
Besides the other attractions there
will be the family reunions that will
be held in many Staunton homes.
Everybody tries to be home for
Thanksgiving. No matter where
home is or how small it bears a
charm at this time which is not felt
| in the usual rush of the passing days
and weeks. And StauntOnians are no
exception to the rule. Every train
yesterday brought it's share of them,
coming home to spend the day with
the old folk, and many more are ex-
pected to swell the Homecoming tide
| this morning.
Just plain, old-fashioned Virginia
Thanksgiving is what this day pro-
| misses to be.

CHIEF RECEIVERS SADDLE.

Chief-of-Police Lipscomb returned
last night from Basic City where yes
terday afternoon he recovered sad
die which is said to have been stolen
and afterward sold by Joe Doom, late
chain gang boss, who was arrested
on Tuesday night on a warrant
sworn out by Walter Coffey charg-
ing him with the theft. The saddle
was found in the possession of Albert
Bush.

Easton, Convicted Film Flan1mer,
Said to be Taking Advantage Of
Courts Leniency to "Beat JaiP'
Man Supposed to Be in Charlottesville Hospital is Enjoying Him
self in Old Haunts in Staunton, is the Report

comfortably in an easy chair enjoy
ing chat with an acquaintance,
while others claim to have seen him
on parade with a young woman
friend From what can be learned
Easton does not seem to have made
any special effort to conceal the fact
that he is back in Staunton, nor on
the other hand does there seem to
have been any attempt on the part
of anybody to take him back to the
Jail where he is supposed to belong.
However, Bill always did say that
he would not serve out "that thirty
days" On the gang.

That old vaudeville skit with the
angel-fur couches at II a. m, after
having been served with their morn
ing grape fruit while still in bed;
where they played golf and went
driving in the afternoon and played
other games and did other things at
night-that Jail did not have Staun-
toms bastile outclassed even a little
bit for luxury, that is SO far as one
William Easton is concerned.
Although Easton twice escaped
from the chain gang, after having
been sentenced for flim-famming,
and while he is still supposed to be
prisone rwith considerable time
to serve, he is said to be at perfect
liberty, eating and sleeping away
from the Jail and enjoying the other
privileges which are usually denied
persons in bad with the law.
Easton got 80 days in the police
court for having obtained money
under false pretenses. That was in
the days when Staunton was ''dry, :"
and Easton. with two others, was
said to have kept money which he
obtained from thirsty visitor from
the county under the promise to pro-
cure drinkables. Easton took an ap-
peal to the Corporation Court and
there a jury found him guilty of the
offense charged and doubled the po-
lice Justices sentence to 60 days.
It was only when the court threat
ened fogging that Easton consent
ed owork on the chain gang. He
did not remain long with the organi-
zation even then, however, for he es-
capped only a few days after he was
put to work on the streets. He was
captured and his time was doubled
again, thus giving him four months
to go. He escaped, again, only to
return voluntarily, owing to what he
claimed to be i'll health. In the
meantime no action has been taken
by the courts toward inf1icting ad-
ditional punishment for the second
escape.
Since his return Easton has sue
cessfully evaded work with the gang,
claiming that he was not in such
physical condition as to permit active
toll. After having been treated by
several Staunton physicians, a fort
night ago he obtained permission
from the court to go to CharlOttes-
vile for an operation at the Uni
versity Hospital. An officer accom-
panied him to the station, saw him
aboard train, and, so far as the 10
cal officials are concerned, William
is still supposed to be in Charlottes-
vile.
1t seems, however, that Easton is
not in Charlottesville at all, but is
here in Stautnon, enjoying the COM
pany of his old time friends, and
his other accustomed privileges. He
has been reported as being seen in
the lobby of one of the hotels, Seated

Force Of $500 Men Are Ready
to Set Sail From Philippines
TO KEEP RAILWAY OPEN
FROM PEKINC TO OCEAN
Movement In No Sense One OF
Invasion Or Intervention in
Outside Affairs

Washington, Nov. 29.-The United
States today formally offered to
China the services Of $500 American
troops now stationed in the Philip
pines to aid in keeping open the rail
way from Peking to the sea and for
the protection of foreigners in China
if the Chinese council of ministers
desires to accept their services.
From 500 to $500 troops are be-
ing held at Manila for dispatch on
short notice to China to keep open
to the sea.
American Minister Calhoun was
today instructed by the State De-
partment to explain to his colleagues
in the diplomatic corps at Peking
that the United States government,
in recognition of it's obligation under
the rights secured by the protocol
of 1901, the treaty concluded follow
ing the Boxer troubles, is holding in
constant readiness at Manila an ex-
peditionary force of from 500 to g.
500 men.
Ready on Moments Notice.
These men will be held in readi-
ness and fully prepared to embark
for China on a moments notice,
when the need for them actually
arises. This is in no way to be con-
sidered a force of Intervention, it
is made plain at the State Depart
ment, but merely the United States
part in carrying out in co-ordina-
tion with the other powers, the pro-
visions of the 1901 protocol for the
maintaining of railway communica-
tion from Peking to the sea.
The company of marines, which
will leave Shanghai today aboard
the cruiser Saratoga for Peking, was
requested by Minister Calhoun. This
force will be used to guard the
Methodist mission located near the
legation quarter, where lao Ameri-
can missionaries are to assemble if
the turn of events requires such a
move.
All foreigners are reported to have
withdrawn from Siakuan, the port
of Nanking.
