POSSE STARTS AFTER
MISSING ROBBER
Mike Davis Believed to Be Near
Deer River, Minn

The village of Deer River, Itasca
county, has been in a state of excite
ment because it is believed that Mike
Davis, the missing Puposky robber,
has been sheltered in a shack two
miles south of there for several days.
John Scott, who lives in the vicinity
of the shack, brought in the infor-
nation that Davis had been seen and
recognized by people in that vicinity
Marshal Armer Frelich, E. Tankers-
ly and six other citizens formed a
posse and went to the place but found
the man had gone.
There were evidences that the
shack had been slept in and it is prac-
tically certain that friends who heard
of the proposed hunt had advised the
man and aided him in getting away

THE BLARNEY STONE.
Corkonians Seem to Have a Good Rea-
son For Not Kissing It,

c~orkonians Seem to Have a Good Rea-
son For Not Kissing It.
The best known trip from Cork is
the one to the blarney stone, which
you will find at the very top of the
1870 foot castle nine miles out from
Cork. a fine old castle it is, too,
once a stronghold of the McCar-
thys. The country all about it is
beautiful, notably on the way out,
around the pretty st. Anne Shan
don church, where for a sixpence or
a shilling to the sexton you can hear
again
The bells of shandon that sound so grand
The pleasant waters of the river Lee.
Now, to kiss the barney stone
you should be of a thin, wiry build.
Stout people find some difficulty be-
cause of the bending required,
which is why one well known pastor
over in South Boston admitted to
his congregation that the best he
could do was to put the handle OF
his umbrella to the stone and then
kiss the umbrella. You should first
remove your coat and jacket and
anything that is likely to fall from
your pockets when you are held up
side down (women seldom attempt
the feat), because if you do not they
will drop down to the moat below.
And be careful of your movements,
for they will show you wen now the
tree that broke the fall land the
head) of the last man who slipped.
If you should fall, of course it
means death.
Two fellow tourists will grab you
by your ankles; then you will sit
back like a woman washing a third
story window on the outside and
bend down, c~lutching two parallel
iron bars set in the granite, until
your head is hanging as low as it
can hang. Your head by then
should be in the embrasure the top
stone of which is the blarney stone.
You viii forget, if you can, what
will happen to you if you slip, while
you apply your lips to the top stone.
Then your sing out and your tourist
friends viii pull you back by your
ankles.
From then ON you are qualified to
hand out the barney, for into your
speech in future will come a beguil-
ing quality that was not there be-
fore.
But do the Corkonians kiss the
barney stone? / put the question
to n mar there. A twinkle came
into his eyes.
Sure" said he, "what is the
good at all to be kissing an ovid
gray stone when Cork is full of
pretty girls waiting to be kissed p
Something in that, too, we
tnodght as we hurried for the train
that was to take us to Killarney

ADVENTISTS ISSUE
STATEMENT AS TO
THE SUNDAY BILL
Claim Holy Day Is Beyond
the Jurisdiction of
Mankind.

Claiming that they have been misrep-
resented as to their attitude toward the
Johnston Sunday bill, now pending in
Congress. the seventh-Day Adventists
have issued a statement setting forth
their position.
The Seventh-Day Adventists, accord
ing to the formal statement, would be
as strongly opposed to a law demanding
the observance of the seventh day of
the week. as they are to the designating
of Sunday in the Johnston bill. The
claim of the Adventists is that Sunday
is ordained Of God, and hence is beyond
and above the Jurisdiction OF human
laws and lawmakers. The statement
holds that to pass a human law to
enforce a Sabbath would be an insult
to its Divine Author, an implication
that He is unable to perpetuate His
own institutions"
The Johnston bill constitutes a union
of church and state, according to the
Adventists, because It sets forth that
1t is intended to re-enact the Fourth
Commandment, that has been virtually
repealed in the Nations Capital. when
the state enacts into laws the laws
on which the church is builded, it can
not be denied that such legislative ac-
tivity constitutes a union of church
and state" says the statement.
The Adventists assert that such law
is unconstitutional. The clause of the
United States Constitution quoted in
defense of this contention, reads: Con
gress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof"
The statement is issued from the
seventh-Day Adventist headquarters, in
Takoma Park, and comes from the ex-
ecutive committee of the Religious Lib
erty Association. a department of the
general conference OF SeventhDay Ad-
ventists. Chairman K. c. Russell and
Secretary S. B. Norton OF the commit
tee, signed the statement. 1t sets
forth that the Adventists have been
subjected to a misrepresentation that
seems inexcusable and ineXplicable,

seph F. Johnston on his bill

CUPID AIDS LOVER
WHOSE MOTHER IS
OPPOSED TO MATCH
Young Edwin A. Woodward
Finally Weds Mrs. Mary
SWank In Rockville.

Dan Cupid found a way for young
Edwin A. Woodward, 12S Massachusetts,
avenue, and Mrs. Mary Swank, a fair
divorcee, of pa street northwest
Overcoming maternal opposition after
three days argument, Woodward took
Mrs. Swank to Rockville last night,
and. after much difficulty. procured a
license, and were married.
Today Woodward is back on his job.
and is climbing aloft painting signs.
The bride spent the day at the home
Of her new mother-in-law, who jealous
ly guarded her against reporters.
She is locked in her room and you
can't see her." said Mrs Woodward
who spoke with decided emphasis. And
II you try to see Edwin at his place Of
business he will throw bucket of paint
on you"
Woodward proved to be on U street,
painting the picture of a beautiful young
woman refreshing herself with drink.
It was news to the members of the
family who opposed the marriage that
young Woodward had been married.
We'll, what do you think Of that"
exclaimed Mrs. John Stewart, Wood
ward s sister. who lives at 422 Massa-
chusetts avenue and is the wife OF a
contractor.
Her husband thought that as long as
the couple had been married the fam
lily had better make the best of it,
Bridegroom and bride made two
trips to Rockville. They were re-
fused a license on the first trip on
account of youthfulness. Woodward
obtained a letter from his mother
giving her consent. Deputy Clerk
Stokes who had been asked to keep
open office until their return, issued
the license and the couple went to the
house of the Rev. DR.. S. r. White, a
retired Baptist clergyman. who united
them. They then returned to Wash
ington and to Woodward's home.
Monday the couple made their first ef-
fort to get married, and it was then
that Woodward tore up the license
when his mother tainted on being
informed of his intention to wed Mrs.

Bees Outside Pale of
Police Interference

Policemen may cope with the des-
perate man-killer; they may round up
the lawless burglar and footpad, but
when it comes to bees, big, black. sting
full bees, the police can do nothing.
This decision was reached by the
men of the Fifth precinct following
complaints of several residents of the
neighborhood near Third and South
Carolina avenue southeast that the little
brown insects were becoming trouble
some.
The police are not fraid of the bees,
but they are kept from interfering be-
cause the hives are well back of the
building line of their owners land.
So those who have been stung by the
bees, and those who may in the future
be stung by the bees, will Just have
police regulations which will bring them
relief
