ROBINSON NOT
in u. S. ARMY

A report current here recently o
the effect that David Robinson, for
merly delivery clerk at the Americus
postoffice, had enlisted in the army
service in Columbus since leaving here
is declared erroneous. Mr. Robin
son, it will be remembered, left
meficus suddenly and mysterious
ly two or three months ago, without
getting leave of absence or notifying
Postmaster Mitchell of his contem-
plated departure.
Since that time the general public
here has known nothing of his where
abouts beyond the fact that he went
from this city to Columbus. Re-
garding the rumor current that Rob
inson had enlisted in the army, Post.
master Mitchell says he knows moth
ing and does not credit the story at
all. He says he has heard absolutely
nothing of Robinson since he wen
away from Americus in November -;
EDecember last.

TELL STORIES
OF ANIMALS
To Children at the Library
Today

A series of animal stories will make
the story hour at the Carnegie Libra
ry today one of more than ordinary
interest for the children of the city,
as Miss Gum, the librarian, has Sc
lected some stories of lively interest
to tell to the children.
The story of the English sparrow,
that omnipresent little fellow in feath-
ers, will form a part of the stories 70
be narrated. Every child is familiar
with this member of the sparrow fam
lily, but probably every child does not
know why it is that this sparrow is
called the English sparrow, though
an inhabitant of America, or how il
was that the sparrow came to leave
its home in England and is found
now in America.
An Uncle Remus story of the kind
that finds fresh favor with children
every time it is told, may also form a
part of the interesting program for
this afternoon All the stories taken
together will afford entertainment and
amusement of most attractive kind
Animal stories have perennial inter-
est for young people, consequently
Miss Gum has selected them as of in
terest for the story hour today.

WILSON RELIES
ON O'GORMAN
FOR new YORK
TAMNANY is FOR HARMON
Why Wilson Has Not Replied
to Harvey

New York, January 25.-The man
upon whom Gov. Woodrow Wilson is
depending in his effort to obtain the
support OF the New York Democracy
for his presidential candidacy is
United States Senator James Alloys
ius O'Gorman. Concrete and conyinc-
ing evidence of this fact has come
to the notice of the New York demo-
cratic leaders within tn elast three or
four days 1t has created something
of a sensation among Tammany men
who think they have good reason to
believe that the candidate favored by
.Tammany Leader Murphy is Governor
Judson Harmon, of Ohio.
That a strong bond of friendship
and sympathy has existed between the
New Jersey governor and the junior
senator from New York has been
known for some time by democratic
colleagues of Senator O'Gorman. Re-
cent developments have established
the fact that Gov. Wilson has sought
the advice and counsel of Senator
O'Gormon on several occasions re-
garding the expediency of several
steps he has contemplated.
Sought His Advice in Controversy.
The most recent illustration of the
value placed upon the advice of Sena-
tor O'Gorman by Gov. Wilson was
the matter of Col. Harvey's support or
non-support of Gov Wilson in Har-
per's Weekly. Following the publica-
tion of the versions of what actually
occurred at the Manhattan Club lunch
con at which the matter was taken
up, the governor was at loss to know
just how to meet the issue raised be
tween Col. Harvey and himself
Thursday last the governor had it
in mind to contribute to the existing
literature on the subject version of
his own. There is the best of reasons
to justify the assertion that the gov
ernor had prepared statement Civ
ing his version of the incident. That
statement had been completed and
finally revised when Gov. Wilson got
in touch with Senator O'Gorman and
asked his opinion regarding the pro-
priety of making it public.
Senator O'Gorman strongly advised
the New Jersey governor to withhold
Ills statement until the actual import
ancc of the Harvey and Watterson Jef-
sion affecting his candidacy had D9en
more clearly established. So when
Coz. Wilson returned to Princeton
Sunday, he announced he would not
make public any reply to Col. Harvey
Or Col. Watterson for the time be-
ing.

AID NEEDED
BY Y. N. c. A.
Interest on Bonds Already
Overdue

Public support is desired in beha.t
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tier to meet the interest on the bond.
Cd Indebtedness of that institution
which is long overdue.
The amount owed by the associa-
ton at this time in the way of inter
est is about $160, the need of which
is nrgt mt, as the claim against the as
sociation for this amount is now held
for collection, it is understood The
interest was due last October and the
bill has remained unpaid from that
date up to the present time.
AS the Y. NJ. c. A. is in much better
condition now than it has been in
some time, the support in this par
ticular need is one that is richly mer.
tied The institution has been rem
dered practically self-sustaining un-
der the present management, but t
cannot, of course, meet such outside
obligations as this after paying cur
rent expenses.
If the proper support is given the
institution by the public henceforward
it is believed that when the debt now
resting upon it shall have been paid
the management can easily not only
pay current expenses but also actually
provide a small emergency fund. In
the meantime, however, it is neces-
sary that outside obligations should 1e
met and met as promptly as possible
by the friends of the institution.

UNDERWOOD
TO Be HOME
ON FRIDAY
BROUGHT HERE BY OFFICERS
Relatives Anxious to Have
Him Brought Back

Young Charles Underwood, Jr.,
whose sensational arrest in Mobile =
day or two since, caused surprise
among his friends in Americus, who
did not even know of his presence
there, is probably safe again this
morning at his home on Prince street,
to the joy of his distressed mother.
The young man was detained in Mo-
bile at the instance of the Americus
police department, acting in behalf OF
his relatives, who desired his return
to his home here.
Yesterday Chief Barrow was advis-
ed that an officer from Mobile was en-
route here with the young man. They
did not arrive on the afternoon Cen
tral train, as expected, probably being
delayed en- route, and were looked for
last night at II o'clock, instead. At all
events, young Underwood is expect
ed to be at home this morning.
Whether he will be sent away to
school again remains to be seen, but
in such eventuality he will get per-
fectly fresh start here. Young Amos
Johnson is probably still in Meridian,
where he was detained until young
Underwood was located, as they were
to be together. There is no
charge of any kind against him.
The stories sent out from Mobile
and Meridian regarding the arrest and
detention of young Johnson and Tn
derwood served to create quite SEN
sation throughout the state.
