BURGLARS ENTERED TWO
STORES HERE LAST NIGHT

Burglars entered the stores of Hack
& Williams and G. w. Jarman & Son
on Washington Street, last night and
stole considerable quantity of goods.
The Hack & Williams store was en-
tered by back window. The burglars
attempted to get into the safe, but they
failed and accomplished nothing at that
except to damage the safe. They took
two new bicycles, several razors, pistols
and cartridges.
The Jarman store was entered by the
back door. The burglars broke the
glass in the door, reached inside and
slipped the bolts and bars. They then
broke open the money-drawer and took
its contents. after which they made a
meal of canned peaches, cakes. etc. In
this store they left a lather's Ratchet,
and in the Hack & Williams store they
left pair of pliers.a long screw driver
and butcher knife.
This morning Mr. Williams is on the
track of the burglars. having followed
very easily the track Of the new bicy-
cles. He is on his motorcycle and il
is a pretty safe bet that he will find
them out.

Senator John Walter Smith TO
Take Leading Part.

Senator John Walter Smith will take
leading part in the movement for a
modification in the law appropriating
sli 900. 900 for an Appalachian Forest
Reserve. The commission has already
gone on record in favor Of making the
whole fund available at once instead of
in sums of 81, 900. 600 annually.
The Maryland Senator is a member of
the Forest Reserve Commission, and he
indorsed in the fullest measure the re-
port Of that body in which Congress is
asked to amend the law by authorizing
the Commissioners to purchase forest
lands without restriction as to the a.
mount Of money that may be expended
in any one year.
The forest reserve for the Eastern
and Southern States. said Senator
Smith, sis Of great economic Importance
to our people living in or near the APP
palachian Range of mountains. This
fact was recognized when Congress pro-
vided the money for the purchase Of
timberlands at the headwaters Of our
streams and on the slopes Of our noun
tains.
This money should be expended to
the best advantage Of the country and
we are convinced that it cannot be so
expended unless the commission is given
the power to use it when and where il
will go the farthest. Under the present
act we may expend 81, 900. 900 each year
for lands, and unless we use that amount
any portion of the sum unused is re-
turned to the Treasury.
Being compelled to buy so much land
in any one year. or lose the money not
expended. in a measure ties the hands
of the commission, continued Senator
Smith, land renders it impossible to Sc
cure the best values. Land owners,
knowing that we must close deals in
volving so much money before certain
period, are inclined to take advantage
Of the Government and the result is the
Government uotS HOt get tiic tihiDei
wanted upon the best terms.
1T is for this reason that we have
asked Congress to reconsider the provi-
sions of the appropriation act and to
place the commission in position where
the $ll, 900. 900 or the part of that sum
yet unexpended may be used at any time
during the five years to the best interest
of the Government.
At its last meeting the commission
prepared report bearing upon this sub
ject. This report will be used as a basis
for further legislation amending the APP
preparation act creating the Appalachian
and White Mountain Forest Reserve.
At this meeting too, the question of
taking over several thousand acres of
timberlands at the headwaters of the
Potomac river came up. but action was
deferred until the agents of the Forestry
Service could make further surveys. So
far the only lands actually taken over
by the reserve commission lie in the
States of North and South Carolina and
in Tennessee. Maryland. Virginia and
West Virginia areas are now being sur
veyed

SPEAKER CLARK TO
OPEN STATE FAIR
Reports Also Indicate Greatest Ag-
ricuitural Display in History
of Arkansas Fair

Hot Springs, Oct. 14-All doubt
as to whether or not Hon. Champ
Clark, speaker of the house of re-
representatives., would be in Hot
Springs to open the Arkansas State
fair,which be held in this city Nov.
II to TO, was removed when Sec
rotary George R. Belding received
positive assurance that the distin-
guished Missourian would not on
ly be here, but that with him
would come his family, the party
making a short sojourn of week
or more in this resort.
In addition to Speaker Clark,
Gov. -eleet Robinson will also be
present. He has notified Secretary
Bedding that he will open head
quarters in this city, remaining
during the entire week of the fair
as he expects to confer with his
friends all over the state and re-
allies that Hot Spings on this par
ticular occasion, will give him the
opportunity he wishes for innum-
cradle conferences.
Agents who have been demon
strating scientific farming in Ark
ansas, which work has been car
ried on under the auspices of the
department of agriculture, Wash
ington, reported to the state fair
headquarters this week that 43
counties in the state that will hold
county fairs intend to send their
prize exhibits to the state exposi-
ton. So many agricultural exhibits
will be received that the present
facilities for housing them have
already been found inadequate, ne

Chicago Oct. 1.-THE bullet
wound inflicted in Col. Theodore

Monday night, it was officially an
nounced today for the first time, is
healing normally withoutinfection.
The statement that no eomplica-

the first successful X-ray picture of
the wound in the coloners chest
was examined by the surgeons.
The fact developed that the
wound made by the assassin'S bull

ded apparently in the bone. The
fracture, however, it is said, will
not affect the treatment in any
way, but will be allowed to heal
untreated, as will the wound.
The X-ray pictures show that
the bullet did not enter nor injure
