DARING NEGRO HOLD UP
CAUGHT IN PENSACOLA

Among those who visited the
county Jail upon the solicitation of
the police department was Miss
Anderson, who, on July 10, on
North Davis street, suffered the loss
of her purse containing the sum of
$24 in money, as well as other ar
ticles of value, some of which she
had just purchased. Miss Anderson
called at the police station with a
girl friend and was told the darkey
was in the county jail She went
there and at once Unidentified the
black man. Reuben Lampkin, who
was charged by the county authori-
ties with highway robbery.
Upon the Identification of the
young lady, the negro will prob
ably face five separate and distince
charges of hold-ups or purse snatch
ing. In the case which Miss An
derson's relates may cause to be
made against him. the charge will
probably be grand larceny.
Lampkin was identified in the re-
corder's court yesterday morning by
four of the parties he had attacked.
In every case the Identification was
complete, and while the witnesses
told how the darkey had presented
pistol and sought to separate them
fromall their spare cash, the pris-
oner at times could noa repress a
smile but he had no statement to
make, nor did he enter a denial of
any charge made against him by
the several witnesses.

INTERNATIONAL MOTOR
TRUCKS IN Great Demand
Can Attain Speed Four or Five Times
That of a Horse-Permits Larger
Expansion of Trade Than the
Wagon

The beginning of 1915 finds hun
dreds of International Motor Trucks
used by representative firms OF all
kinds in Dauphin and few surround
ing counties, and the proportion OF
horse drawn vehicles are constantly de-
creasing.
Business firms now recognize the
fact that without new trade their busl-
ness will languish and die. Horse
drawn delivery will limit firm to a
restricted district, while a motor truck
permits a large expansion of trade. We
are constantly placing the lnternation'
al with progressive firms who are serv-
ing customers throughout the cities and
suburban towns, whom they would 9TH
erwise lose
The responsibility Of the manufac-
turer, the service facilities of the sell
ing department and the figures on
which are based the claims for economy
are regarded to-day as the most vital
considerations by the purchaser.
Many owners of International Motor
Trucks report to us their experience in
penetrating extreme conditions of
roads, such as deep mud and heavy
snow drifts, that are considered impas-
sible for horse service. Instances OF
this nature only remind us of the fact
that the International is thoroughly re-
liable for twelve months service each
year, regardless of weather or road con-
ditions. Business men hnow that moth
ing is worse for trade than an inef-
fectual delivery service. Modernizing
delivery service by adopting motor
trucks is only partly solved by the Sc
lection of trucks, but providing compe-
tent drivers has been one of the dith-
cult problems. Regardless of how
" "fool-proof the mechanism and ad-
iustments may be arranged, the motor
truck still remains mechanical piece
of engineering and will require some
intelligence for its successful opera
ton. The drivers should not only un-
dersItand the simple method of start
ing, steering and stopping the truck,
but should be familiar with some GER
tain adjustments and the proper lubri-
cation of the truck of which he has
charge. Sorry to say that many en-
ployers do not realize the importance
of selecting thoroughly capable driver
for his motor truck, but applies the old
fatal maxim, "Penny wise and pound
foolish" by employing some cheap, in
efficient boy, thereby jeopardizing his
delivery system, and finally declares the
use of the motor truck failure.
The motor truck loaded to its ca
pacity can safely, on good condition of
roads, attain about four to five times
the speed of horses under similar con-
ditions, and the habit of working
faster in loading and unloading motor
trucks is being adopted by many lead
ing firms and has eliminated to great
degree the necessity or demand for
heavy capacity trucks, and now favor.
ing the medium sizes as matter of
economy in purchase, convenience
quicker deliveries, less upkeep expense
and storage.-Adv.

Johnson Willard Bout Now Scheduled
for Havana

Havana, March "a fight for the
world s heavyweight pugilistic cham
pionship wil take place at Havana,
Saturday April 3, between Jack John
son and jess Willard.
The last obstacle in the way of hav-
ing the fight take place here was re-
moved yesterday afternoon when Jack
Curley, who endeavored to have the
men meet at Juarez, Mexico, March s,
received cable from Willard saying
that he would start immediately for
Havana, arriving here from New Or
leans March Is.
The terms for the fight are identical
with those which would have prevailed
had the encounter taken pace at
Juarez. Mr.. Curley will act as the
chief promoter, and will be assisted by
Richard Klegin, as managing director.
The site for the battle has not yet been
selected, but several excellent places
are available.
johnson began training yesterday.
Willard probably will have training
quarters at Marianao.

practice. Neither is seriously hurt; at
the same time, both will not be able to

Bush injury was dual affair. He

just as Lapp was tossing the bali back
to him. Trying to avoid both balls,
Joe was hit On the left ankle by the
wild heave, and on the middle finger of
his right hand by the ball Iapp threw.
Mcconnell was hurt at third base in
fielding practice. He leaped into the air
after high liner and in coming down

CHEAT CREEKS OF MILLION
Charge Results in Receiver for Tommy
Atkins Lard Allotment

Muskogee, Okla, March "a re-
ceiver for the Tommy Atkins allotment,
said to be worth s1,000,000, was ap-
pointed yesterday by the Federal Court.
In this case the government, for the
Creek Nation, contends that the allot-
ment was made to fictitious person
and that it should be cancelled and the
property revert to the Creeks. An oil
company has a lease on the land and
is producing 5000 barrels of oil per
day.
The government made an arbitrary
allotment to Tommy Atkins because
his name was on an old Indian roll.
Now, it contends that there never was
such person, while the two oil com,
panies have produced two women, each
of whom claim to be the mother Of
"Tommy Atkins. "

WHEN is A BUG A PEST?
Six Lawyers Ask Northumberland Cour,
to Answer Question

Sunbury, March 9.-When is bug
pest? This is the question six law
yers yesterday asked Judge Moser to
decide in an equity suit over an in
yasion of millions of bugs into the home
of George Oyster, an ex-Councilman.
Oyster alleged that willow tree on
the property of Mrs. Levy, his next
door neighbor, each summer becomes in
Tested with millions of insects of ver-
million color, which make his life mis-
erable, infest his home, ruin his car
pets and cause much distress. He asks
the Court for a removed of the tree.
The defense contended that the bug
was never pest, inasmuch as the tree
has been there for more than a century,
and that Oyster was the first to COM
plain. After days testimony it was
left to the Court to decide.
! Lawyers for Oyster last night offered
to call in State Zoologist Surface, in an
effort to prove their contention.
