storms which have followed.
The tornado caused property dam

million dollar damage to corn and cot
ton, according to conservative esti-
mates. Since that storm it has rained
almost continually, preventing the
erection of repairs or the removal of
debris, and this has caused the loss to
grow daily.
This is particularly true with sew
eral large stores where the stocks, am

firm, Sigmend Bros, wholesalers, have
lost fully $4,000 from the rain which

farms are so water-soaked that farm

PLOT TO HOLDUP
RESTAURANT IS
FAILEDBYPOLICE
Three Men Enter Crescent
TO Rob it But Change
Minds.
EMPLOYEES ARMED,
READY TO BATTLE
Trio Followed to Central Part of
City, Fire VOlley and
Flee.

An attempt to hold up the Crescent
Restaurant on Main street Sunday
night was foiled by Policemen White
ner and Talley. Three men, strangers
in the city, were followed over the city,
and the prompt arrival of the police
as they were planning to execute the
robbery, prevented what was expected
to have been a battle between the en-
ployes of the restaurant and the
bandits.
The trio had been seen acting sus-
piciously during the early evening by
Patrolman Arthur Whitener. He fol-
lowed them over the city several times,
but kept quite. a distance behind them
in order not to be detected.
When he realized that they had
planned robbery, he notified the en-
ployes of the Crescent Restaurant to
be prepared for them. When the fire
was discovered in the livery stable on
Spanish street just south of Broadway,
Patrolman Whitener entered the CreS-
cent Restaurant to notify the fire de-
partment.
The three strangers were in the res
taurant when the policemen entered,
and Irvine Wilson, an employe, noticed
them nudge each other when the pO-
liceman spoke of the fire over the tele-
phone After notifying the fire de-
partment, he fastened to the scene.
On his way he met Patrolman George
Talley and requested him to keep
watch on the trio in the restaurant.
After Whitener left the restaurant,
The tree strangers were left alone with
the three employees, Irvine and Robert
Wilson and Bert Dyer. The three sus-
poets arose from their seats at 4 table,
one going to the front door, another
stationed himself in the door leading
from the kitchen to the restaurant and
the third entered the kitchen.
The three restaurant employees rush
cd out of the rear door, apparently 60
ing to the fire, but instead, they
FASTENED to their rooms upstairs,
where they procured revolvers. Re-
turning to the rear room, they found
the three mon at their posts.
At this instant Patrolman Talley en-
tered the front door. The strangers
again took their seats at a table, and
when the policeman did not depart,
they arose and left the restaurant.
Whitener and Talley followed them
out Broadway. They turned south at
the Idanha Hotel. and after going
south about one block they fired
volley from three revolvers and then
fled. The policemen ran to the scene,
but the three men had vanished.

PRESIDENT WILSON
GIVEN AN OVATION
German Crisis ArOuses Demon
stratiOn AS He Goes to
Arlington Cemetery.

Washington, May 31-President Will
son was given a wild demonstration
today when he left the White House
TO deliver an Grafton at the Arlington
Cemetery. A great throng had gather
ed in front of the Capitol, and when
he appeared, an ovation burst forth.
1t was the first public outbreak of
enthusiasm since the diplomatic rela-
tons between the United States and
Gcramny reached critical point. The
President bowed and waved at his adj
miring throng as he marched through
them to his waiting auto.
The crowd was still cheering as the
machine, bearing the President to the
National Cemetery, disappeared
The Executive stirred up wild en-
tiusiasm at the Memorial exercises at
Arlington by applying the lessons of
the Civil War to the present day prob
lens. He was greeted by an outburst
of applause when he declared that the
solemn lesson of the war was that
unity Of the United States be exempli-
fled in the action of its people.
"Lct us think of our duty and the
actions that lie before u.s." declared
the President.
The President avoided any direct
reference to the present international
crisis. When he arose to speak the en-
tire crowd stood up and applauded for
several minutes. Just before the Presi-
dents address, Bishop Cranston of
Washington prayed that the President
be given guidance in the ''most deli
cate crisis in the history of the world
and John McElroy of the Department
of the Potomac, Grand Armq of the
Republic, said the President could be
trusted to guide the country at the
present time.
1t does not behOOvc a nation to walk
with its eyes over its shoulder, declar-
ed the President in his address. Its
business is constantly in the years
that lie ahead of it and in the present
that challenges it TO display of its
power. But there are "reminiscences
which are stimulating and wholesome
and among those "reminiscences are
chiefly to be ranked the recollectiOns
of days of heroism, days when great
nations found it possible to express
the best that was in them by the ar
dent exercise Of every power that was
in them.
The solemn lesson Of those MEM
cries for us is not that we must be
ready to save the Union again, he con-
tinued. for there are none among us
who threatens its life, but that we
must see to it that the unity then re-
alized, the vision then seen, is eXem-
plified in US and the things we do.
Greater days lie before this nation
than it has ever seen yet and the
solemn consciousness of those who
bear office in this time is that they
must make their best endeavor to en-
body in what they do and say the best
things in the United States.

Maine Memorial Monument, erected by
