YOUNG WHITE MAN ARRESTED
HERE ON A SERIOUS
CHARGE.
Claims He Represents New York
American and Has Been Out on a
Good Roads Trip-Justice Court
Holds Him for Higher Tribunal.

Claiming to be a representative of
the New York American and travelling
in the interest Of good roads in this
section, to be advertised by the we'll
known New York paper, William Le-
Compt, a young man 26 years of age,
is occupying "A cell in the GIynn county
Jail on the charge Of forgery, and the
chances are that he viii serve a SEN
tence on the chaingang before leav-
ing this city.
LeCompt arrived in Brunswick last
Wednesday afternoon and registered
at the Central hotel He told a story
to the effect that he had been to Flor
ida on good roads tour, travelling on
a motorcycle and was enroute back
to New York. When a few miles out
of Jacksonville, he said, his motor
cycle broke down and he walked to a
railway station, shipping it to Sa-
yannah, while he came to Brunswick.
His story, of course, was not doubted
at the time.
Friday the man went to Mr.. Fader,
of the hotel, and asked him to go to
the bank and identify him so that he
could get a check cashed Not know
ing the man, Mr. Fader refused to
comply with his request He then
asked him If he would endorse a
check, drawn on a Miami bank and
signed by the man. Mr.. Fader also
refused to do this and never thought
any more of the matter.
T The following day, however, it was
discovered that the man had cashed
two checks, one for IS and another
for $2.75, both drawn on a Miami bank
in his favor and endorsed by Mr. Fa-
der. The two checks were cashed
by Monk street negro near-beer deal
ers. 1t was soon discovered that Mr..
Fader did not endorse either of the
checks and LeCompt was arrested.
The preliminary hearing occurred
before Justice Robertson yesterday
afternoon and the man was remanded
to Jail to await trial in the Glynn
superior court under a bond of $780,
LeCompt had nothing to say in ex-
planation of his act; he did not state
whether the checks were really any
good or not, but he did not deny forg-
ing Mr.. Fader's endorsement. He
failed to give the bond and will re-
main in Jail until the next session Of
/ the superior court.

Brunswick lovers of football, and,
Of course, there are a number of
them in the city, are promised some
interesting gridiron games during the

little difficulty in securing games, as
there are clubs in Savannah, Jack
sonvi1le, Waycross, Douglas, and other
nearby places. That Brunswick can
put team out that will make it in

LEGEND OF LAKE DEsoLATIoN."
A Remarkable Picture at the Pastime
. Today.

The management of the Pastime
take great pleasure in announcing
that they have again been successful
in angling for big features, and will
offer today, matinee and night, what
the Moving Picture World calls Pathe
Freres's greatest Indian picture, SUI
perb and vivid portrayal of legend
in the wild and picturesque life of the
great tribe Of the Moricans, which at
one time inhabited the shores of Lake
Desolation.
The story of this is beautiful, yet
simple, and to quote the M. p w
in this 1audatory film we are shown
that the Red Man has heart and is
conscious of Supreme Being, but in
their child-like faith, they imagined
it to be in spiritual form that in
habit mountain Businesses, waterfalls.
etc. Glimpses of this rude faith are
apparent in this film and stamp it with
beauty all its own. A golden haired
little white girl is found by an Indian
and taken to the Indian tents, and
reared in the ways and traditions of
the red race. She grows into w
manhood and is the idol of the tribe
that has adopted her. When she has
reached womanhoodtshe is recognized
by her brother and is persuaded to
leave the people by whom she was
so deeply beloved.
The legend says that the light went
out of the hearts of the red people
when their idol departed, and even
Nature showed her sorrow by chang
ing from the vernal charms of spring
into the barrenness and desolation
of winter" And so on, concluding
thusly 'eThe last scenes in the reel
are weird, beautiful and wholly orig
inal, and deserve many words of
praise, which cannot be conscientious
ly bestowed on many Indian films"

THEY REFUSED TO
RETURN TO CITY
REQUIsiTIoN PAPERS ASKED FOR
MEN IN JAIL FOR STEAL
ING AUTOMOBILE.

Requisition papers were last night
forwarded to Governor Smith in At
lanta for E. Webber and Frank Law
renee, the two men arrested in Jack
sonyille few days ago charged with
the theft of an automobile in the GUS
of Sheriff Berrie.
The sheriff went over to Jackson
Vile Saturday for the men, who were
held in Jail there, but they refused
to return to Georgia without the
requisition papers, and these were
prepared yesterday by Whitfield &
Dart and J. A. Morris, the attorneys in
the case, who represent various par
ties interested in the fight for the
possession Of the automobile.
In the meantime Weber and Law
renee are still held il the Duval
county Jail at Jacksonville, and it
will probably be several days before
the requisition papers can be Sc
cured.
These two men are charged with
burglary, and though they claim that
they had right to take the machine,
claiming that it belonged to a wo-
man in Tampa, Fla, still they will
probably learn before the case is
ended that even the owner did not
have the right to break into gar
age, take the automobile and go with
it when it was in the custody Of the
sheriff.
From information received in the
city, there seems to be some sensa-
tional developments connected with
the case, which will probably come
to light when the two men are tried

TAFT LAUDs SUPREME COURT in
POLITICAL ADDRESS MADE
AT DETROIT.
Distinct Campaign Note in Challenge
to Bryan Made at Luncheon Talk.
The President Diagrees With ex-
President Roosevelt.
"RAcE sUIcID4" AGAIN.

Detroit, Sept. 1S.-President
Taft again took issue with his
predecessor here today in an ad-
dress at the State Fair grounds.
Probably for the first time in the
course of his administration he
brought up the question of
race suicide" the old issue on
which Mr. Roosevelt expatiated
from time to time. But Mr.. Taft
did not take the view that Mr..
Roosevelt expressed"
The president remarked, IF
care is not taken, the crop of ba-
bies will increase more than any
other crop the nation produces"
But Mr. Taft did not mean n
is really afraid of a big crop of
tots. Me made it plain that what
is feared was that the farm
crops would not keep up with
the increase in the number of
small mouths to feed unless sci
entiiic methods of farming are
more generally observed.

At 3 o'clock this afternoon the pa
tents condition grew worse from

NJ. Bogrof have been made.

Bogroff has declared further that
investigations had placed him in a po-
sition where he had to kin Stolypin

At 230 o'clock the patients tenn
perature was 50. Five physicians
were in attendance, but could do lit

Death HoVers over Bed

sian premier, shot down by a would

This forenoon the pulse had risen
to 14O and the temperature was be-
low normal. The heart is endan-
gered. a4N
The patient had appeared to inn
prove until late Saturday when peri
tonitis set in.
Examination of the wounds by
Demitry Mogroff led to hope for an
early recovery. Developments of un-
favorable symptoms followed few
hours after the patient had made a
most hopeful rally The rally follow

bullet in an effort to relieve the
premier Of the unbearable pain OF
which he had complained throughout
Saturday night, and which had thrown
him into a state of depression where
death seemed a welcome relief
Several times during Saturday night
the premier had broken out inyol-
unfairly with murmured exclama
ton:

difficulty. and hopes apparently were
justified when the premier expert

This favorable symptom did not
last long. Soon the patients pulse
began to mount alarmingly, and un-
mistakable symptoms of peritonitis
set in. His temperature remained
strangely averaged, later sinking a
trife below the normal.
The normal temperature was at first
ascribed to an almost total elimina-
ton OF outside infection on account
of the care with which Professor Rein
had made the initial dressings. Later,
some of the physicians we're inclined
to regard the dropping temperature as
an unfavorable sign, indicating that
the patients system was yielding to
septic poisoning, without the struggle
which would be marked by rise in
temperature.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 18.-President
Taft inaugurated four days stay in
Michigan today with four speeches
in and around Detroit. The most i'm
portant of these was at the chamber
of commerce luncheon, where he dis
.cussed the trust question in general
and the recent decisions of the United
States supreme court in the Standard
oil and American Tobacco trust cases
in particular.
Mr.. Taft reached Detroit early to-
day after an all night ride from Erie,
Pa. He went directly to the Detroit
club for breakfast. Here he met fifty
or more newspaper editors and pro-
prietors. He spoke briefly of his for
mer connection with newspaper work
in Cincinnati.
II was assigned to the courts" said
the president in describing his roper
toriaI career, and the first big 'scoup
that got was an advance story of a
decision on a very important case
which was exactly the opposite of the
decision which the judge handed down
next day"
Amid laughter, the president added
that that was the nearest he had ever
come to contempt of court.

Detroit, Sept. 1S.-President Taft
at a luncheon here today made the
first of what may be termed the politi-
cal speeches of his six weeks tour of
the country.
He took up the trusts and clearly
outlined his views concerning them
The president defended the decisions
Of the United States supreme court
in the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust
cases, and there was distinct cam
paign note in Mr.. Tafts challenge to
his ancient political enemy, William
j. Bryan, to point out what partic-
ular contracts or restraints of trade
he would condemn which would not
be condemned within the definition of
the statute as laid down by Mr.. Chief
Justice White.
Mr.. Taft added, rather significantly,
that persons who do not understand
the decisions and really do not un-
derstand the law have had a great
deal to say about them. 1t was not

Opposed to Amendment.
Il am entirely opposed to an amend
ment of the anti trust law" said the
president. 1T is now a valuable gov
ernment asset and instrument. Tested
and brought into beneficial use by
twenty years litigation and con-
struction by the highest court, why
should be imperil its usefulness by
experiments"
Mr.. Taft referred to the fact that
Immediately after the decisions were
handed down Senator LaFollette
spread on the public records a quota
tion from one of the presidents mes
sages as being at variance with the
rule of reason laid down by the court.
The president asserted that his
views as expressed in the message
were in exact accord with the de-
cisions.
