Negro Thief Loses
Girls Stolen Medal

Harry L. Schesinger was a wit
ness Thursday before the Grand Jury
in the case of VIII Perkins, a negro,
held on six counts of burglary. Mr.,
Schlesinger's interest in the case lies
in the fact that Perkins has confessed
to robbing his house and taking away
gold medal belonging to his daugh-
ter, Miss Irene Schlesinger. The med
al was "A reward at college for excel
lence in music, and is valued far
above its intrinsic worth.
The negro claims he lost the medal
and does not know where it is. Mr.,
Schlesinger is willing to pay a lib
eral reward for its return.

EX-LEADER
Women Scramble for Furniture
of Mrs. Nichols, Accused Of
$4,000 Theft

WILMINGTON. y. C., Jan. %
The household and kitchen furniture
Of Mrs. Elizabeth VanB. Nichols, for
merly leader in exclusive social circles
in Wilmington, Is being sold here to-
day by the Sheriff, the proceeds TO be
applied TO a judgment obtained by
Mrs. Helene F. Lemassena, of Phila-
delphla. for S27,00 which she alleges
was embezzled by Mrs. Nichols. Three
criminal indictments against Mrs
Nichols tor embezZlement were mol
pressed a few weeks ago. as Mrs
Nichols, who is believed to be in Eu-
rope, could not be found. They VIII
be taken up again If she is located.
The proceeds Of the sale viii amount
to about 81 900
Five hundred men and women,
many belonging to the same social
set as did Mrs. Nichols, attended the
sale, which was held in front of the
courthouse. Never before has there
been such a sale in Wilmington.
Many OF the women present arrived
early. and remained throughout the
sale, taking part in the bidding.
The articles brought good prices,
and some of them sold for more than
their real value because, perhaps of
the magical touch of the former own
er. In their anxiety to secure some
piece of furniture or bric-a -brac,
some of the women present frequently
raised their own bids. There was a
halo of departed glory about the
whole proceeding that made men lin
ger and talk about other days when
Il was considered a high honor TO be
guest AT one OF Mrs. Nichols nu-
merous elaborate entertainments

BISHOP ATKINS LAUDS
 SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK
SAYS THAT GREATEST NEED IS MORE COMPACT WORKING
 ORGANIZATION.

Hot Springs, Feb. 19.-Bishop James Atkins of Waynesville, N. C., was the principal speaker at the con- vention of the secretaries and field workers of the Sunday schools of the Southern Methodist church here last night.
 Bishop Atkins paid a high tribute to the activity of the Sunday school workers, comparing the progress of the Sunday school work with like pro- gress of recent years in commercial and industrial lines. He declared that the greatest need now is a more compact working organization and a foundation for future progress in the training of the children and young people to fit them for work in the Sunday school and church organiza- tions; that the present organization is preparing for better and greater things and that the coming genera tions should be trained and fitted to carry out the plans now being gener- ally laid for extending the scope of the work in both Sunday school and church
 He discussed the things already ac- complished on Sunday school lines and pointed out the salient things yet needed to perfect the work. Mrs. H. M. Hamil of Nashville, Tenn, who was to have spoken on "How Shall We Teach the Child?" was unable to be present and her place was taken by Rev. Mr. Hightower of Texas
 There are about 100 delegates, and as many visitors from practically ev- cry southern state in attendance at the convention, which is strictly a meeting for the discussion and outline of work in the Sunday school field.
 The program for tomorrow includes a number of brief addresses by field workers. The principal address of the day will be at the night session by Jno. R. Pepper of Memphis.

DIFFICULT TO ESCAPE
 AND AVOID RECAPTURE
GUARDS AT ARKANSAS PENT TENTIARY KEEP CLOSE
 WATCH ON PRISONERS.

Little Rock, Feb. 19-It is being demonstrated that it is difficult for a convict to escape from the Arkansas penitentiary and avoid recapture. Within the last few days several have been brought back to serve the re- mainder of their terms, and have lost their good time.
 l.. E. Casting of the penitentiary left last night for Tulsa, Okla, with a requisition for Basil c. Adkins, who was convicted in Pulaski county of burglary and larceny, for robbing the stores uf J. H. Martin Arms Co.,, and Gus Blass Co.,, and shipping lot of the loot to Dallas, Texas. He was originally sentenced to twelve years but Gov. Donaghey reduced it to six years. He escaped from the state farm June 16, and has over three years yet to serve.
 Frank Williams, another Pulaski county convict, sentenced to eight years for forgery, noted local crim- inal, was found on a poor-farm at Paducah, Ky, and returned to the penitentiary.

COLONIAL RECEPTION
 AT CENTRAL COLI ECE
MANY GUESTS ENJOY ENTER PAYMENT IGNORING WASH
 INGTON'S BIRTH.

On last evening the faculty and stu
 dents of Central College gave bril-
 liant colonial reception. Never did
 the stately building look more impos-
 ing than in her patriotic regalia. The
 reception halls, double parlors, library
 and dining room were all festooned
 with bunting and flags. On entering
 the building one was greeted in the
 main entrance, not only by members of the senior class in costume, but the 'life-size portrait of George Washing
 ton made one sure that one had step-
 ped back in history more than 100 years In the parlor was another a ington, above which was draped beau tiful flags. The quaint costumes of the ladies, the knee brooches, silk stockings and buckled shoes of the gentlemen and powdered hair of both made a beautiful picture indeed, and in viewing them one could not keep from wishing that in matters of dress history repeated itself more often. After the formal reception, the con- pany retired to the dining room, where the orchestra, with Prof. Uter- who represented Mosart, rendered a number of selections. Miss Jane Cammack sang Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms Miss Meredith Clark read kitty of Colerain' and Miss Vashti King gave the beautiful memory picture, When Grandma Danced the Minuet," after which she gave the beautiful minuet, assisted by Miss Stevens. The guests then all joined in a grand march, aft CT which refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. The cake in form of hatchet with cherry decora- tions, was very attractive and called forth many interesting anecdotes both old and new. Altogether, this was one of the most beautiful and pleasura- ble social fetes ever given by this un- usually hospitable educational insti- tuition.
