"The drunkard Is a drunkard not be-

MOUNTAIN LIFE DRAMA
BY, COLLEGE STUDENTS
Neat Sum Realized for Southern In.

prevented an open-air Performance, a
large audience witnessed two successful
dramatizations presented last night by
the students of Washington College, Sd
and T streets northeast, for the benefit
of the Southern Industrial Educational
Association in its work among the white
mountain children Of the south.
The entertainment comprised a drama
tization Of "Old Andy the Moonshiner,'
by Mrs. Martha S. Gielow, founder and
vice president of the Southern Industrial
Educational Association. and a Noun
tain Pageant of Symbolic Figures
The large auditorium Of the college
where the performances were presented
was prettily decorated with spring flowers
and colors. while the stage showed a
forest setting on the slope of a southern
mountain. Both performances depicted
life among the mountaineers, and the
pageant gave splendid opportunities for
fancy dances and songs, the scene sup
posing to tell of a people lost in the
woods
Historic characters such as Andrew
Jackson, David Crockett, Abraham Lin
coin. Daniel Boone and other famous
men born in the mountains were cleverly
portrayed. About 100 girls participated in
the performances, and neat sum was
realized
Miss Airline Shackelford read the pro.

They declare that previous Tag days
which were fruitful in raising funds for
charity, lacked at times in respect for

interested are agreed on one point. and
that is that more care must be taken
in recruiting the ''taggers''

BANDITS ENDED LIVES
AS POLICE BROKE IN
Bullet Holes Found in Heads of
GARNER and Wallet, French
HighWaymen.

PARIS. May 16.-Bullet holes found
yesterday in the left temples of both
Octave GARNER, the real leader, and VAL
who were found dead after a three-hour
battle with 5000 police and soldiers. led
to the belief that the two men killed
themselves when the attacking forces
entered the villa at Nogent-sur-M Marine,
four miles from Paris, after it was blown
up with melinte.
1t is said that GARNER and Wallet were
planning coup similar to that OF March
-, when five of the bandits. in taxicab
they stole after killing the chauffeur,
robbed the Societe Generate in Chantilly
of $40, 900 and murdered two clerks.
An accomplice, who was on his way to
arrange the details. was arrested by
gendarmes at the Northern Railway
depot. and it is believed that ne betrayed
his pals.
Although the bandit gang had no picked
leader it is known that GARNER, not Bon
not. was the prime mover In the atrocities
which shocked all France.
Band May Be Extinct.
1t is believed that with the deaths of
GARNER and Wallet the band is extinct.
The occupants of luxurious automobiles
who on leaving the theater Tuesday night
determined to go to Nogent-sur- Marine to
see the excitement over the killing or
capture Of the two bandits were disap-
pointed, as it was impossible to pierce
the crowd which had already assembled.
No two descriptions as to what took
place agree. but the result upon which
all agree is that the two bandits were
killed and they were taken to the morgue
with fatal wounds which were undoubt-
eddy self-inf1icted. Four policemen are
also in the hospital, but only one of these,
Inspector F1eury. is in serious condi-
ton.
Woman Kept Prisoner.
Throughout the siege the Schools
woman remained prisoner in a neigh
boring villa, where Chief Detective
Guichard examined her. She cOntradicted

bandits were poorly armed-by saying
they had more than a thousand cartridges
and that they knew the police would blow
them up like Bonnet and were determined
to die with their boots on.

effectiveness of dynamite caused great
disappointment. The first cartridge was
exploded at 1855. The next one missed
