ARREST Thief WHO
SIGNS CONFESSION
colored Man stole Goods Valued At
$3.50, From Ray's Livery
Barn Last
Month.
SOLD GOODS TO RE1N1G
Reinig Identifies Negro Who at First
Denies Guiit-came
From Butte,
Montana.

The police yesterday arrested a
young colored man who confessed to
having stolen property valued at over
$4,000 from the livery barn of w. B.
Ray and Son on Third street, during
the last month. Ray knew nothing
about the goods being stolen until
within the last day or SO when he
missed set OF harness and reported
the fact to the police.
The police started an investigation
which resulted in the arrest OF Rich
ard Williams, % year old colore0
man from Butte. Mont. Officer Will
son yesterday made inquiry at num-
Der Of harness stores in the city in
an effort to find II the stolen goods
had been sold. While talking to A..
T. Reinig at his store at 1109 Main
street, Reinig told him that he had
bought a set of harness OF young,
colored man the day before. Williams
happened to be passing the place and
was pointed out to Wilson who placed
him under arrest.
At the police station Williams de-
MED having sold the harness to
Reinig. Chico Kenney called Reinig
who identified Williams as the man
from whom he had purchased the
harness. Kenney then had Williams
brought into his Office and succeeded
In getting confession out Of him.
Williams told a story that seemed
impossible to believe.
He said that he had worked at
Rays barn for week or ten days
but that he had never stolen any
thing during that time. On April Is.
however, he stole three saddles. The
next day he took them to Reinig and
sold two of them to him for Sc. The
naxt day he returned and sold the
other for IS. The day before he had
stolen double set of harness which
he, also sold to Reinig for $3.50. On
the night OF April %. Williams said
he went to Rays barn and took a
buggy. He pulled 1t down to a barn
behind Reinig's store and the next
morning went to Reinig and traded
the buggy for a rifle and SIS in cash.
On the night OF the 18th Williams
says he took a set OF double harness
from Rays barn. He went to Reinigs
place, woke Rsinig up and sold the
harness to him for $11.00. He also
says that he sold number OF pieces
of harness besides this, for SIS.
Reinig told the police that he had
bought the buggy and some Of the
harness from the negro. He says.
however, that he did not buy the har.
ness Williams said he sold him on
the night Of the 29th. Mr.. Ray did
not know until the police told him
that the buggy and the other harnesS
had been stolen. He identified all OF
1t. however. The goods the negro
stole Is valued at $50 at least

Committees Report.
ITO the Keokuk Industrial Associa-
ton, Keokuk. Iowa. Gentlemen:
Among the many valuable things
you have done for Keokuk, the annual
cleanup organized by you and sue
cessfully carried on the last three
years, commends itself to every citi-
zen of Keokuk. The organization for
this purpose created by you has prov
en- most efficient and has been con-
tinued from year to year without
change. because experience has
shown no way that it could be i'm
proved.
"An organization, like ours, with a
central committee for the entire city,
a member OF the committee for each
ward to look after the ward and a
lieutenant for each block in the city
to look after the block, would seem
to be so complete that nothing more
could be desired This organization
Is aided by the, Women's Civic league,
similarly organized with a central
and a lieutenant for each block,
which has, been most valuable and
has contributed its full share to the
work. But after all do these organi-
cations do the work? We answer,
yes.
Here Are Some Figures.
"In the spring Of 1912 by unanimous
opinion OF our people. our city was
better cleaned by far than ever be-
fore in its history. The clean UP for
1918 was, in the opinion of the in
spectors, about 10 per cent better
than 1912. We now report the result
for 1914 To say that we are delight

Financial Review.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, May 2.-The stock
market closed heavily today unde,
realizing sales, but the final quota
tons on the majority Of the leading
stocks were slightly above those o.
last week. Heaviness today was mos
pronounced in the coal and copper
groups, which wers affected by the
labor troubles in the bituminous fields
and less satisfactory conditions In the
copper industry.
However. during the past week
conditions were generally improved
the steady decline OF the previous
fortnight being definitely checked and
in most issues. good progress made
on the upward swing. The change
was due primarily to the prospects
for a peaceable solution Of the Mexi
can situation.
Improved conditions Of the London
exchange, based on more hopsful
view OF the Ulster crisis. was reflect
ed here. The outlook for heavy crops
also was supporting factor, as was
also the Improvement in railroad
earnings for March as compared
with proceeding months.

tons for winter wheat caused a weak
tone in this grain during tbs past
week, May features closing down
one-half cent and July two cents low
er than last Saturdays quotations.
Foreign conditions Of heavily decreas-
ing stocks and reduced shipments
from the exporting countries served
to keep May delivery from becoming
as weak as the new crop futures.
Good progress generally was made
in preparing for planting corn and
this combined with the longs dispos-
ing Of tn sir holdings weakened the
corn market. May delivery was one
cent lower and July down as from
last weeks close. Another factor that
encouraged the bears was the report
of more favorable wealth er conditions
in Argentine where floods have been
making inroads on the crop there.
Oats followed corn, May being down
one-half cent and July IS. The un-
willingness OF bulls who had accumu-
lat I'd contracts for oats to be deliv-
cred them this month was also de-
pressing factor.
Provisions were on the downward
trend this week, prices slipping from
I to 80 cents. The heaviest defec-
tons vera in pork. The hogs mar
ket was not strong and free selling
along lines by longs depressed the
provision scale.

STILL ANOTHER
RICHMOND IN
THE FELL
WELL KNOWN CITIZEN is BEING
PROMINENTLY MENTIONED FOR
THE OFFICE OF MAYOR. HIS
FRIENDS SAY HE WILL WIN.

Dear reader, have you heard any
thing that sounds like S. S. Tolson
running for the office of mayor of the
good city of Ardmore, Oklahoma, u
S. A? Well, the above mentioned S. S
TOlson says there is nothing to il
but the tone of voice employed sounds
awfully like the mo" that a sweet
young thing says when she really
means yes" and wants you to ask
papa forthwith.
Mr.. Tolson came within few votes
of being the mayor at the present
time. he was a candidate against w. r.
Roberts the present incumbent and
was only a few votes behind at the
final count. For five years he was
register of deeds after statehood, and
the records he compiled in his office
have been taken as a model for other
such officials all over the state Mr..
Tolson is extremely popular with all
classes and would make good officer
if he were elected, at present he is
deeply interested in the oil game and
if his word is to be taken literally, he
is not studying much about being may
or of the city. However. one can
never tell what is liable to happen in
the ballot riddled state of Oklahoma.

SIMPLICITY
WILL MARK
INAUGURAL
STATE WILL SPEND NO MONEY
ON COMING EVENT - AFFAIR
PROMISES TO BE IMPRESSIVE
AND OF GREAT INTEREST.

Oklahoma City, Nov. $50 far al
the recent conference between mem
bers of the legislature and Governor
Elect Williams has developed plans, il
is seen that the coming inaugural cere
monies will be impressive and yet sim
pie. There will probably be an elab
crate inaugural ball, but it will moi
be financed by the state Neither viii
there be any expenditure of states
money to bring the militia to the capi
tai for the inaugural ceremonies mol
for any other purpose connected with
the induction of new officials into of
flee.
All the officials will take the oath
of office together and there will be i'm
pressive proceedings. But it will be a
democratic affair to the fullest possible
extent. The induction of Judge Viii
liams and his felloy - officials into
office will recall IL "'s'orIcal Soo,.
ferson set an example of .nnr..-
and economy which has never since
been followed in Washington
The state will not be asked to ex-
pend one cent for the Inauguration.
If the Legislature should decide to
make any appropriation for that pur-
pose, it would doubtless be vetoed by
the new governor. The legislature
knows this and there will be no ap-
preparation. If this inaugural season
had not come at a time of stress and
warfare in Europe that has unsettled
business conditions in Oklahoma, it is
possible that the entire national guard
of the state would have been brought
to this city and the ceremonies would
have been elaborate. However, it is
known that Judge Williams is in favor
OF democratic simplicity, rigid econo-
my and attention to duty, and he might
not have allowed so much display even
under better conditions of the state.
AS 1t is the Inauguration will be made
impressive and inexpensive. The peo-
pie of Oklahoma City are likely to ar
range a brilliant social side to the
ceremonies.

GAIN ENTRANCE AT REAR WIN
DOW - EXTRACT CASH AND
MAKE ESCAPE - NO GOODS
MISSING.

Burglars got in their work at Ran.
dolls dry goods store Saturday night
and took about $500 from the safe
in the office. Nothing has been
missed from the stock of merchan-
disc, however.
Mr.. Randol closed the store Satur-
day night, and said that he thought
he locked the safe, after depositing
the cash, but might have overlooked
doing so.
Entrance was gained through a
rear window, and the burglar took
his departure through a rear door,
leaving it wide open. The case has
been given to the authorities who will
make an effort to locate the guilty
party.
