Football Team
Is Under Arrest
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Clemson College, s. c., Nov. 16.--
Eighteen members of the Clemson foot
ball team still were under arrest today
on the charge of having left here for
the game in Richmond with Virginia
Military Institution Saturday, without
having first obtained a formal permit
from the proper authorities. 1t was
explained that the players detention
largely was a question of local dis
cipline. Clemson is a military instt-
tuition and under the rules the man
agement of the team is required to Sc
cure permission from the president OF
the college and the commandant before
leaving the grounds. Failure, it is al
legged, to comply with these regulations
resulted in their arrests.
The statement was made today that
the matter probably would be adjusted
so as not to interfere with other games
on Clemson's schedule.

ing the store of cash. No definite
data of the business done was avail
able tonight, but Secretary Willis tele-
graphed each bank for an account CT
it's rediscount business and expected
to report to the board tomorrow.
If the first weeks rediscount busi-
ness shows the banks can use more
cash the board probably will have a
large part of the loose cash now in the
treasury deposited and probably will
transfer most Of the government funds
now in the national banks to reserve
banks. 1t has been reported to the
board that there is about one hundred
and ten million dollars in the treas
ury available for the purpose and that
about sixty four million of the seventy
nine million dollars now in national
banks for the government could be
transferred.
The board tonight defined time de-
posits as including any deposit subject
to check on which the bank has right,
by written contract with the depositOr

less than thirty days notice before any

rested, Charged With the
Theft.

Charged with robbing the safe OF
the Postal Telegraph Co. of $149.50,

the station that he had robbed the
safe. A bundle of receipts, which were
in a box with the money, were found
on the person of billiard, but the mon
ey could not be found.
Dillard declared to the officers that
shortly after his arrest he dropped the
money I'm a grass plot near the depot
but officers failed TO find It, et en after
they had taken Dillard there that he
might point out the spot where he
dropped it. He told the Officers he had
broken open the money box in the rear
of a barber shop and this proved true,
for the box was found at the spot de-
signated by him.
Manager Cole had known billiard for
a number of years in another state and
when the latter arrived in Pensacola
he went to the Postal. He was out
of work and stayed around the office
considerably. Yesterday Manager Cole
was 'ousy out of the office during the
afternoon and left the office in charge
of the boys. billiard said that 1t was
at this time that he opened the safe,
the combination Of which was simple,
and took the money box. containing
the cash and receipts.
He bought a ticket for F1omaton
with a portion Of the money, he said.
and this ticket was found on his per-
son.
Billiards wife is in Samson, Ala. He
is of a prominent family and told the
officers the reason he took the money
was because he had been out Of work
and was so hard up that he could not
resist the temptation.
