the comparison with 1911 is especially
gratifying because of the quiet condi'
tions in the stock market"

Globe, King William County, Va,
Oct. 24.-John Cosby and Brooi;ing
Garnett, both negroes, are in the
county Jail charged with robbing a
..sgro woman Of all her earnings and
then setting fire to her home and try
ing. to crenate her and her three
small children.
Esther Hill lives near this. place
A day or two ago her sister was tax
en- sick and called Esther to her bed
side to nurse her. The sister lives q
mile or so from the home of Esther
While Esther was engaged in looking
after the sister, she kept watch as
best she could on her own home and
children.
At an early hour on Saturday night
the woman was Mortified to see her
home in a blaze. With all possible
speed she went to the place to res
cue her children, but when she got
home she found that the roof had
fallen in. In the yard she saw the
children and boy eight years old re-
lated in substance the following story,
which is the only clew to the iden-
tity Of the men who are charged
with the crime.
70 to
put all of the children in bed telling
them to go to sleep. The two younger
children did 90 to sleep, but the
elder kept his eyes only half closed.
He heard the men talk little and
then watched them as they searched
the house. The men obtained sf36
which the woman had saved by hard
work. After they had gotten the
money they left, going outside and
closing the door. In short time
the boy began to smell smoke. and
he aroused the other children and
took them out into the yard. The
men were not seen when the boy went
out of the burning building.
When the boy told the story he gave
the names of the two men abova men
toned, and it was on this that the ar
rests were made. The men are con-
fined in the county Jail and will b,
tried at the next term of the court.

Hid a Gallon of Rings.

Lynchburg, Va, Oct. 24.-Cooper
Davis, then egro charged with steal
ing $4,000 worth of jewelry samples
from the baggage room of the Hotel
Carroll 10 days ago, made full con-
fession yesterday which resulted in
a gallon crock of rings being found
where he had hidden them.
Davis claims that Abe Saunders
and George Peters, two negroes I'M
der arrest, stole the trunk and made
him treasurer of the gang. Not until
Peters and Saunders began to sell
rings did the police have the slight
est clue as to the robbery. Davis
managed to keep in hiding until last
night, although suspected of having
stolen the trunk even before the rings
were offered for sale.
The trunk belonged to a Buffalo
concern. 1t is thought most of the
iewelry will be recovered. Six ne
groes have been arrested in connec-
ton with the robbery.

duct Investigation.

Prepared to conduct an exhaustive
inquiry into the condition of the wa
ters Of the lower Potomac where
oyster beds are located, party of

oyster beds will be brought back for
analysis, and complete surveys will
be made to determine what becomes

that if a people in any state believe

initiative and referendum may be used
not as substantive form of government
but as the means of bringing back to

TWIN STATE LEAGUE
After More Clubs But Ignores North
Adams.

Reports from Northampton state
that the Twin State league is not
anxious to have North Adams includ-
ed in the circuit this coming spring.
Northampton has been secured to
take the place of the Springfield
Charlestown club and it has also
been suggested that Bennington and
Pittsfeld be asked to join, in order to
bring the membership up to SIX
teams. The general opinion at the
recent conference was that the North
Adams club would not finish the sea-
son, and hence, it was decided not to
invite the local club to enter
AS far as is known, the club in this
city has never expressed any desire
to Join the Twin State league. In
fact, the local promoters emphatical-
ly refused to consider any such prop
osition short time ago, when an
eight club circuit was proposed The
Twin State league has a perfect right
to select the teams that are wanted,
but the idea must not be gained that
something has been put over on the
local club.
Representatives of both the Pitts
field and Bennington clubs have re-
ceived communications in regard to
casting their fortunes with the Twin
State circuit, but it is doubtful If they
are accepted as the jumps are too
