From The World OF Monday:

Miss Elizabeth Stocker, a girl be
tween 16 and II years old and daugh-
ter of Mr.. Chris Stocker, older daugh-
ter OF Mr.. Chris Stocker, is home
again after her little escapade with
Jacob F. Rymel, a married man of this
city.
This paper told, Saturday evening,
CT this unfortunate affair. The two
persons left here Friday evening on
b. & o. train No. IA, however, in
stead of No. IL at night as first report
ed. and arrived in Harrisonburg, Va,
early Saturday morning. Mr.. Stocker
having learned that his daughter and
Rymel were in Harrisonburg proceed
ings were instituted to apprehend
them. Accordingly Justice Felker,
Officer Riddle and Constable Welt left
here Saturday afternoon in an auto
mobile and made the run of 80 miles
to Harrisonburg, arriving there at
1890 that night
Accompanied by a local policeman
the party went to the home of Mr..
Christ, a brother-in-law OF Rymeps
where they found Miss Stocker in
bed with a young girl about her own
age She expressed a desire to return
home at once but was told to wait
till the following day Sunday.
In the meantime Rymel was arrest
ed and placed in jail on the warrant
in possession of Squire Felker. 1t
may be stated here that he was re-
leased Sunday evening as there was
no charge on which to hold him in
Virginia and he refused to come back
to Martins5urg with the officers.
The party, together with Miss Stock
er left Harrsonburg at IL O'Clock
Sunday morning and arrived here at
o'clock in the evening, by way of
Winchester near where some delay
was caused by the supply Of gasoline
becoming exhausted.
The young girl, who was the limo
cent victim of the wiles of a man
three times older than herself. was
glad to get back home again. Having
committed no criminal act on her part
she should be free from censure, but
80 for Rimel, who has wife and two
children, there IS a general feeling OF
indignation and contempt.

TUBERCULOSIS DAY
THIS YEAR APRIL 80

April Both has been set aside this
year as Tuberculosis Day, and will
be observed in 200, 900 churches in
the country in manner similar 20
that of Tuberculosis Sunday" In
1910, when over 400 900 sermons were
preached on the prevention Ct con
sumption. In this first official an
nouncement Ct the occasion made by
the National Association for the study
AID prevention Of tuberculosis today,
the leaders Of the movement state
that they hope to enlist all OF the 333-
100000 churche members in the coun-
try.
In one respect. Tuberculosis Day
viii differ from tuberculosis Sunday
of 1910 Instead of requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause special Sunday service the
National Association Is going to ask
this year that meetings at which the
subject of tuberculosis and its pre-
vention can be discussed, be held on
Sunday, April 80, or on any other day
near that date, either in the week pre-
ceding or the week following.
What we want" says DR. Living.
ston Farraud, Executive Secretary OF
the National Association for the study
and prevention of tuberculosis, in a
report on this movement is to have
this whole subject of tuberculosis dis
cussed in all of the 200, 900 churches
Of the United States at as nearly the
same time as possible. This does not
mean that a stated service must be
given over to this work though that
might be desirable, but that any min.
lister, or other authority whom he may
invite can prevent the problem to his
congregation before or after his regu.
lar service. or on any day within the
week preceding or following April 80 .
The National Association Is plan
ming to gather statistics from thou
sands of ministers, showing how seri
Gus problem tuberculosis is to ev
cry church. These figures will show
among other things the number OF
deaths last year from tuberculosis in
the church congregation, and the ways
in which the pastors are called on to
minister to sufferers from this dis
ease, 1t Is planned also to issue mil
lions OF circulars and pamphlets Oh
the prevention of tuberculosis, both
from the national Office and from the
headquarters of the $50 anti-tuber-
culosis associations who will cooper
ate in the movement.
In West Virginia, the State Anti
tuberculosis League will endeavor to
cooperate with this NOV eme1t by
making a personal appeal to each in
dividual clergyman in the State.

port to Postm ster General.

From the report prepared by Assist
ant Postmaster Harry c. Kitchen in
accordance with the order OF the
Postmaster General asking for infor-
nation regarding the city delivery
service (the first instance Of the sort
received here in eight years) the fol
lowing figures are taken and which
will be of general interest:
Estimated number OF square miles
served by city carriers, Q. population
served by city carriers, 10422; aver
age number OF people served by city
carriers, 1887; average number OF
places per carrier, 391; number of

It will be noticed that the number
of people served by the city carriers
! is 1922 as against 10,69S. the official
population of Martinsburg according
to Federal census OF 1910 This ap-
parent discrepancy is accounted for
| by the fact that the city carriers do
not serve few people in the out

STONES DIAZ HOME
Windows Are Shattered Before Police
Can interfere and His Guests
Flee in Panic.

San Antonio, Tex. March 1s.-De-
tails OF an attack on the palace OF
President Diax, in Mexico City, while
the residence was crowded with
guests, by mob, shouting @Vive Ma
dero!" which had been suppressed by
the censor, were brought here last
night by party of Americans. The
latter came from the capital Of the
southern republic by train.
The windows of the palace were all
shattered with stones. and the guests
fled in panic. President Diaz himself,
however, coolly sent orders by an aid
de-camp to the police TO restore or
der. An American who has an official
connection with the United States
government confirmed the reports of
the riot. He said that there is strong
likelihood that report of the occur
renee is already in the hands of the
State Department at Washington.
Police Were Unprepared.
The stoning CT President Diaz's
palace came so suddenly that the po-
lice, utterly unprepared for the de-
monstration, were unable to dispense
the mob before the damage bad been
done. AS the details were recited
here, the demonstration occurred
about O'Clock in the evening. The
streets centering about he official
residence were filled with people.
Suddenly there was a movement in the
crowd, and out of cafes and adjacent
places there were poured, as if by
|preconcerted signal several hundred
men and young boys. With shouts of
Viva Madero!" they let fly first one
shower of rocks and then a second.
The whole thing was over in five min
utes. There were several arrests.

evening to try their skill with the Big

help it-they just had to beat 'em. an

ELOPEs WITH MARRIED NAN
Miss elizabeth Stoeker Runs of With
Jacob RymeI---coupIe Caught
in HarrisonburQ.
From The World Of Saturday:

From The World of Saturday:
A sensation was sprung In this city
today when it was reported that Mss
Elizabeth Stocker, the older daughter
Ct Mr.. Chris Stocker, the well known
baker and confectioner, had eioped
last night with Jacob Rymel, mar
ried man. The girl is between 16 and
II years of age while Rynel is about
As years old and has a wife and two
children living on North II gh street
Miss Stocker left home last night
shortly after s o'clock, 1t Is supposed
When she did not appear to help in
the store in the evening as usual the
family naturally wondered what had
become of her, but later more uneasi-
9ess was aroused. When her bed
rccm was examined it was d scovered
that she had taken all OF her clothing
and then it dawned upon the family
that she had run off. This was about
1890 O'Clock. When II was learned
that Rymel had also disappeared, tho
hasty conclusion was reached that the

somewhere In town.
The police we're notified Of the az
fair and several houses were search
ef by the officers where 1t was
thought the pair might be. But tn
search was fruitless. This was about
midnight Then about o'clock this
morning Justice Felksr was called out
81 bed to issue warrant for the ar
rest of Ryme1.
Mr.. Stocker and the police having
exausted every means of locating the
rnnaways he bethought him this morn
ing that they might have gone to Har-
rtsonburg, Va, where Rymel former
ly lived. When he called up the
chief Of police OF that place the latter
told Mr.. Stocker that Rymel and a
place them under arrest at once
which was done. 1t is supposed that
the clippers left this city last night on
T.. e. o. train No. II for Shenandoah
Junction where they connected with
the Norfolk and Western for points
in Virginia.
This afternoon Justice Felker, Of
ficer Riddle and Constable Wolf left
in an automobile for Harrisonburg
ard will bring back the rumaways to-
morrow.
Rymel has been a friend OF Mr..
Stocker's for some time, the TWO be-
ing frequently together on hunting
ard fishing trips in times past. This
accounts in part for the fact
that Rymel has often been seen
around the Stocker place but it was
rot suspected that there was any par
ticular affection between him AID Miss
Stocker, Therefore his visits TO the
premises excited no suspicion on the
part of the young girls father or step
mother.
Miss Stocker is known to nearly
everybody in town and nothing ii her
life or previous conduct would have
warranted the Impression that she
contemplated this step downward.
Hence the surprise that is felt in this
city today
Naturally Mrs. Rymel is much wor,
ried over this shameful act of heI
husband and the sympathy of the pub
! lie goes out to both her AMI Mr.
Stocker, who are the innocent victims
of an unfortunate affair.
