lO7 YEARS old ON
LAST CHRISTMAS DAY

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 29.-(Spec-
iaD-"Granny" Deese, probably the
Oldest person in Alabama, celebrated
her 10th birthday today at her I'M
pretentious home here. Her only liv-
ing relative is a daughter 50 years old
who is employed in a laundry. The
aged woman is still in comparatively
good health, considering her age. Her
eyesight is splendid and her memory
perfect. She recalls wildly the days
OF Andrew Jackson. However, her
days are numbered, as physically she
is rapidly declining and gets about her
room in an invalid's chair. She was
born in North Carolina and moved
thirty years ago to Epson county, Ca.
where she resided until fourteen years
ago, when she moved to Alabama.

OLD MAN WINTER

DELAYED, BUT COMING
Weather Bureau Predicts No
Lack of Winter

Washington, D. c., Dec. 29.-There
will be no lack of winter weather any
where in the United States, if weather
bureau reports read the signs Alright
Inquiries at the bureau today as to
the prospects of mild winter were
met with the statement that storms
merely were slightly delayed, but that
nothing had come under the depart
ment's observation to indicate less
than the usual rain or snowfall.
District Forecaster Edward H. Bowie
said the rainstorm which swept this
region Christmas day was merely the
forerunner of the regular procession
of winter disturbances. Another was
already on the way from the south,
he said, Temperatures throughout the
Rocky mountain region and Alaska
were declared to be normal for the
season.

PIRATES LOOT
BARGE IN CROWDED
NEW YORK HARBOR

New York, Dec. 29.-What was said
to be the most daring and successful
robbery ever effected by harbor pirates
in this port was discovered this morn
ing, when long steel float, bearing
ten freight cars, was found abandon
ed and humping into the piers of Sta
ten Island, doing extensive damage.
In few minutes it was discovered
that the harbor pirates had stolen a
large tugboat in Hoboken and crossed
the river to pier %, Manhattan, and
there stolen the float of loaded cars
from the New York Central freight
terminal.
Out in the river the cars were brok-
en- open, and, according to a New York
Central official, tens of thousands of
dollars in merchandise stolen. When
the looting had been completed, the
barg was cut adrift and the tug taken
to Jersey City.
After the goods had been taken of
the tug the seacocks were opened and
she was set adrift.
Four men, who are said to have been
heard discussing and arranging such a
robbery, were arrested tonight None
of the goods was recovered.

POLICE HOLD SUSPECT
FOR ROSTER ASSAULT

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 29.-Detectives
have arrested q suspect in the brutal
assault on Jason A Roster, who was
found gashed and beaten in an alley
way on Decatur street early Saturday
morning. He is Tom Bowman, a young
negro cab driver, who is believed by
police headquarters to have driven
Rosier to the spot on which his body
was found.
Bowman, however, denies all knowl-
edge of Roster. He asserts he did not
have a white fare" in his cab at any
time Saturday morning after midnight,
and that throughout Friday and Sat
urday morning his cab had been no
where in the vicinity of the secluded
alley where the assault occurred
Rosters condition was no better
this morning. 1t seemed, to the con-
trary, that he was slowly growing
worse. Little hopes are entertained
for his recovery. He was not able to
talk Sunday and all during the day
and last night lapsed into spells of
uponpcoioucpacc
A member of his family came to
headquarters late Saturday night and
reported to detectives that he had I'M
der suspicion two negroes whom, lie
believed, had lured the injured man to
the scene of the crime. He went with
two headquarters men on a search for
the negroes, but was unable to find
them. The search will be continued to-
day.
The robbery theory was the strong
est entertained by the police upon the
story of Rosters brother, who said
that the victim had been robbed of a
$3.50 diamond stick pin and hand
some gold watch, which had been an
heirloom in the family

BELLED BUzzARD Seen
BY tiff COUNTY man

Triton, Ca, Dec. 29.-The famous
belled buzzard is again in south Geor-
gia. This buzzard has been an occas-
ional visitor to this section for the
past twenty years 1t was last seen
lin what is now Tiff county, abou
ten years ago. Soon afterwards its ap-
pearanee was reported from various
sections of south Georgia,
The buzzard was seen yesterday by
George L. Paulk, of the Waterloo sec
ton in the northeastern part of the
county. The buzzard was in company
with nearly a hundred others Of it's
kind, and none of the other buzzards
seemed afraid of it. Evidently they
had become accustomed to the bell. Mr..
Paulk says it is just plain, ordinary
buzzard, with a bell fastened to it's
neck, and he got a good view of it.
Many think the belled buzzard a
myth, but so many people in this Sec
ton have seen it that there can be no
doubt but at some time in the past the
buzzard was caught and belled.

censorship which the Italian govern

and particularly with regard TO the
defeat of the Italian forces at Sidi

to obtain exact information on the re-
cent reverses in that territory. Ii has
oeen learned, however. that the dis
aster at Sida Garba was due TO a we'll
lald plan OF the Arabs. An Italian
workman named Machievelli. who had
been taken prisoner by the Arabs, was
allowed TO escape after being carefully
primed with false information, which
he carried to Gen. Ganbretti Instead
OF waiting to carry out a scheme of CO.

strong force, Gen. Ganbretti, on the
strength of Machievelli's report that
the number of the enemy was small.

he divided his 1900 men. into three
columns, and were butchered.
The Italians showed admirable cour-
age and endurance. Some of the com
panles lost all their officers. One ad-
vance detachment lost Sc out OF 40
men. and 1t soon was apparent that
retreat alone would save the forces
from humiliation.
