Some two or three weeks ago The
Palatka News told exclusively the
story of the arrest in the middle of

man Tom billiard, Mrs. Addie Hill
lard Green, Sid billiard and Boob
Smith; how they were taken to Jack
sonville by the United States mar

hardships which befell the old man
and the woman, who had sick baby
The News also told the story Of
their former arrest on this same
charge, some three years ago and
their acquittal before local court.
1t will be remembered that on their
recent arrest and arrival in jackson
vile they were befriended by D. A.
Mullis of this city, who saw their pit
liable condition and who interested
John N. c. Stockton to come to their
assistance. At their examination
Messrs. Mullis and Stockton went on
their bonds and they were permitted
to return home.
Last week the case came up before
the United States Court in Jackson
vile, The defendants were charged
in the indictment with conspiracy t.
injure, Cypress, threaten and intir'i-

same case in which they had heen ac
quilted in the Putnam county court,
Col. Hilburn went to Jacksonville

had little trouble in convincing the
court that it was persecution. Three

were discharged. Those not actually
acquitted were also discharged by the

MOTHERS PENSIONS

The growth of approval of the mothers pension has been phenome- nal. Twenty-one states have in some form or another adopted the idea. Before introducing such bill be- fore the New York state legislature a commission was appointed to LOOK into the subject. The report of this commission for the relief of widowed mothers say that there is need for government assistance for the widow ed mother with dependent children and that it is feasible to provile efficient, wise and administrative ma chinery for the state to meet this need. The commission made a report to the legislature in March. It was said to be economically wise as well as sound morally to grant relief to worthy mothers that they may be en- abled to support their children in the home rather than to force them to the alternative of commitment, or or working, to the consequent loss of human life.
 From the city to New York there are more than 5000 children. of widowed mothers who were com mstted for poverty alone, and for the care of each the city pays be- tween $2.50 and $3 per week.

DISCHARGE TEACHERS
 WHO GO WITH BOYS

Champaign, H., May 22.-Because they are alleged to have "kept com pany" with young men who were their pupils, Miss Helen Whitney of Chi cago and Miss Mabel Smith of Urbana teachers in the Arcola High School, have been summarily dismissed by the board of education.
 Refusing to accept the notice Of dis missal, the teachers presented them- selves at the school this week, on ad- vice of their attorney. They were re- fused admission. Both refused to ac- cept checks for back pay.
 Whether or not to sustain the board will be voted on by residents at the impending School Board election. The School Board declares that Miss Whitney and Miss Smith were warned of the Arcola code for teachers, which is no dancing, no joy riding in autos, no visit home more than monthly, no keeping company" with pupils.
 The teachers were dismissed by a resolution declaring that the best interests of the school demanded that they be removed from their. positions.
 The young women say they will sue for the full amount of their contract and also for personal damages.
