with a revolver in the hands of the
cashier. The boy said he had beat
his way to Washington two days ago.
Wandering off to Laurel he saw the
bank building here.
"I decided to rob the bank or kill
every man in it" said the boy. Wear
ing false face" a long automobile
coat, and a blue cap, he entered the
bank shortly after the opening hour
He demanded that A. L. Bevan, pay
ing teller, should fill the bag, threat
ening to shoot unless his command
was obeyed. Bevan at first tried to
argue with the young 'bad' man
Then he seized a revolver and fired
a shot. The would-be robber drop
ped mask and bag and fled through
the open door. A posse was quick
Iy organized, but the boy eluded his
pursuers for several hours before he
was captured.

A Grandmother at Thirty.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 10.-A grand
mother of tow chilrden at the age OF
mother of two children at the age OF
Mrs. E. w. Bender, of this city. 1t
is claimed that Mrs. Bender is the
youngest grandmother on record and
her case is one of the most remark
able outside of tropical countries.
Mrs. Bender, who is 81 years old,
was born in 1880 in South Carolina.
She was married to E. W. Moore, at
Columbia, S. c., in 1892. She was
only 13 years and three months old
when her first child was born. This
child, a daughter, was married in
1899 to Edward Sinclair, and in
January, 1910, gave birth to twins,
the mother being barely 16 and the
grandmother not yet 80.
In January of this year Mrs. Bend
er's daughter gave birth to another
child, the third of the grandchildren
Mr.. Moore died when Mrs. Sinclair
was an infant. Later his widow
married E. w. Bender and that
union has been blessed by several
children. Physicians claim it is rare
in this part Of the world that a wo-
man becomes a grandmother even In
the early thirties.

Girl Talks About Outrage.

Beverly, Kan, Sept. 13.-There is
nothing either of the martyr Or the
culprit about Miss Mary Chamber
lain whom masked men and boys
tarred and feathered on lonely road
at Shady Bend, near here, few
nights ago.
A correspondent visited Miss
Chamberlain at her fathers home on
the outskirts of Beverly. The girl
is pretty, slight of figure, gentle, re-
fined in manner; it seems incredible
that members of the best families of
Lincoln county, now in jail or under
bonds, could have been guilty Of the
cowardly act to alright and humili-
ate her.
It is common report at Shady
Bend that prominent women melted
the attack on Miss Chamberlain by
falsely informing their husbands,
brothers and sons that she had told
malicious lies about them.
'If those accused of the wretched
assault are guilty." said Miss Cham
berlain, in a calm tone, "they are
men and boys who have known me
for years and who pretend to be my
friends. Not a hint of prejudice
came to me in Shady Bend before the
attack on me.
after the assault I had no sus-
picion of the motive for it until ask
ed the man who had tricked me into
driving with him that night. Even
now I cannot understand it, for I
never have been guilty Of any act
that I need be ashamed of or that
might make me an undesirable per-
son in any community"
Edward Ricard asked Miss Cham
berlain to go driving with him. He
was arrested, gave bond, got out OF
Shady Bend, was arrested again and
is in the county Jail. It is said he
told friends he was paid $500 for his
part in the conspiracy.
So Mortified was she that Miss
Chamberlain cannot clearly describe
the shameful scene when her assail-
ants partly undressed her and tarred
and feathered her.
after the masked men appeared
and seized me I was so frightened
that I can't recall much else," she
said. "My recollection is that l
screamed and called for Ed Ricard
to come to my aid. I do not remem-
ber how i got back in the buggy nor
much of; my return to my boarding
house. I did not recognize the mask
ed men,"
To prove her spirit is not broken,
Miss Chamberlain asserts that she
expects to return to Shady Bend and
resume her position as clerk in L. V.
Green's store.

WOOLEh MAN EXPLAINS
 TARIFF BOARD REPORT
Says American Workmen Are Paid More, But Are Not More Eff

BOSTON. Dec. 20.-Winiam M. Wood president of the American Woolen company. after reading the Taft message on the wool schedule. said: After a cursory reading of the tariff boards report, it at once com mands recognition as manifesting a remarkable Knowledge of the indus try. Condemnation of ad valorem duties by the board must convince anyone who reads it. AS to the rec ommendation of the secured basis. it is a novel experiment in the United States and it's practicability must yet be demonstrated. In comparison between cost of production here and abroad. the report bears out the American manufacturers claim that their cost is made up principally by labor, which is higher priced than the manufacturers of Europe employ Moreover, it shows the higher wages here are not offset by superior effic- iencv of American labor. It is appar- ent that the tariff board discovered that the efficiency of the American mills is not greater than the mills of Europe The report as whole confirms the need of substantially the same rate of protection as now embodied in schedule K"

WRETCHED PRISONER
 MUT|LATES HIMSELF
Pastor Richeson infIicts Severe Wound With Piece of Tin While Alone
 in His Cell.

BOSTON, Dec. 20.-Cries and groans breaking the stiffness of the early morning hours of the Charles street jail today led to the discovery that Rev. Charles V. T. Richeson. awaiting Miss Avis Linnell. had mutilated him self severely with a piece of tin. So serious is his wound that it was found necessary to perform an operation inn mediately. Later in the day the sur geons said the operation was entirely successful and unless blood poisoning developed the prisoner probably would recover in two weeks.
 County authorities. jail officials. and Counsel for Richeson refused to com ment on the possible mental processes that led the accused man to injure himself. or what influence the act might have on future legal proceed ings in his case. District Attorney Pelleter. who will have charge of Richesons trial, which is set for Janu- ary 15, asserted that the trial will be- sin on the date assigned. This was corroborated by Dr Howard A. La throp. one of the surgeons who at tended the prisoner.
 Richeson's counsel will give no in- timation as to whether the defense will seek a postpOnement or take any action because of RichesOns act
 It was about a. m. when the jail attendants heard Richeson crying; Doctor. oh Doctor" The attendant summoned two others and they found n ing and suffering great pain. The prison doctor said an immediate Cper- ation was necessary and three sur geons were sent for When Richeson came from under the anaesthetic he had nothing to say By order of the surgeons he was not questioned by anyone and will be kept quiet until he rcgainS his strength.

Pc king is not aware of the depth or strength of the popular feeling in the south IT is evident though it is somewhat aStOnished to find such a change from the attitude of patient forbearance to dogged, patriotic de termination. Now it appears too late to save the dynasty"
 Tang Shao Vi expressed the belief that the situation might have been saved at one time by a conference with the revolutionary leaders. and prompt assurance of adjustment of wrongs He is also convinced there must be no foreign interference in the way Of loans or otherwise.
 Practically the whole session of the conference between the delegates of the imperial government and tn rev today was devoted to Wu Ting Fang's speech in favor of re- public. Tang ShaO Vi. whose powers are clearly limited. expressed his readiness to accept Wu Ting FangS views, but declared the matter is so important that he must communicate with Peking. and suggested a settle ment be left tO the national assem- bly.
