WHITE MAN TAKEN
FROM GEORGIA JAIL

HIAWASSEE, Ga, Jan. 29.-Three
men took Jake Boring, a white man
from the Towns county Jail here last
Thursday night, and said that they
were going to lynch him.
The officers are of the belief though,
that they are his friends, and that
tie statement was made to throw the
c5ficers off the trail and purpose.
The authorities are looking for
Eering, rather than his body. 1t seems
mat the men called the sheriff to the
door, took his keys and worked very
quickly. They locked the sheriff in
jail.
Boring is charged with numbering
a white man in Towns county last Oc-
tcber.
Towns county is one of the far
northern counties of the state, and
has no railroad facilities. It is very
near ten line of North Carolina, and
Communication is very slow consider
ms other sections of the state.

MOVIE FURNISHES
CRIMINAL IDEA

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 29.-The de
tectives believe that Paul Carter, or
whoever it was that sent deadly
J. olson needle mechanism through the
mails to S. S. McMillen, of Flowery
Branch, got his idea from a motion
picture play in which Robert Mantell
appeared in prominent Peachtree
theatre week befroe last
In the drama in question, one of the
characters sends a box of cigarettes
with a poison needle mechanism al
most identical, it is said, with the one
now in the hands Of the federal au-
thorities.
The origin of the idea, however is
not meant to be an accusation against
the movies. The picture in which it
appeared was Of high tone, and to
argue that motion pictures are hurt
full because one man happened to get
a criminal idea from one of them
would be as unfair, it is pointed out,
as to say that all books or magazines
or pictures are hurtful because they
contain accounts of crimes.
Another interesting development is
the fact that newspaper men pro-
rose today to ask permission Of the
detectives to have the poison needle
tried on a rabbit or guinea pig, in or
der to ascertain whether or not it did
actually have the deadly poison on it.
Unless some such life-test is made, it
nay be month or more before it can
be determined from chemical analysis
whether poison was placed on the nee

PRESIDENT BEGINS
HIS SPEAKING TOUR

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 29.-Presi-
dent Wilson came to Pittsburg early
today, and tonight delivered the first
speech of his preparedness campaign
Through the Middle West
The president travelled here by
special train from Washington He
is accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, who
will be with him during the contin-
uance of the tour. The presidential
train was stopped four miles outside
the city and the members of the party
came into Pittsburg by automobile
This precaution was taken in order to
alude a tremendous crowd which had
gathered at the union station here to
welcome the chief executive.
Arriving at their hotel, the president
and Mrs. Wilson held an informal re-
Ception, during which thousands of
citizens called. Mrs. Wilson was es-
pecially gracious in the cordially of
her reception. Many prominent Pitts
burg society leaders were among the
callers. During the afternoon, the
president and Mrs. Wilson enjoyed a
short automobile drive, returning to
their hotel early in order to receive
several delegations representing Pitts
burg political and social organiza-
tions.
The presidents address here fol-
lowed closely the outline of his New
York talk before the Railway Bust
ness Mems association. He spoke
frankly and in conversational tone, but
did not fail to impress upon his hear
ers the vital points of his argument.
His subject, as will be the case dur
icg the whole of his tour, was Pre-
Taredness." The conditions of the
national defenses at the outbreak of
the European war was laid bare dur
ing the address. Mr. Wilson's hear
ers applauded heartily when he con-
Guided.

fend ITSELF These words were spok.
Ell slowly and solemnly by President
Wilson and formed the most emphatic
portion of his speech.
Previously President Wilson had
asserted that it had been difficult tc
maintain peace and that there was
hourly danger. He said that it was
often impossible to control the situa-
ticn because others were involved.
President Wilson pleaded for ar
adequate army for peace purposes

Seagrue listened with set face. The

An awful suspicion gripped her
heart. Father" she exclaimed in
tensely. "He was hurt. Where is
he?"
Rhinelander, avoiding her glance d.
rected into the half-darkened room,
motioned significantly to Storm. The
engineer understood; but it was too
late. Slipping with the strength and
speed of a fawn from between the two
men, Helen darted into the library.
Those Of the fated household heard in
the night an agonizing cry; it rang
far. She had found her father all too
soon and had thrown herself beside
his dead body, where it had been
placed on the couch beside the fire.
place.
Thus persisted by the hand of a
wretched criminal mere fieck of
the scum of our civilization-this man
who had himself, and alone, discov-
cred the first railroad pass over the
Continental Divide.
Seagrues ears echoed long with a
memory of that cry. Standing beside
his captured confederates he asked
himself whether the price had not, af-
ter all, been too high
But Spike, insensible to all but his
criminal instincts, drew close beside
him and asked him, unobserved, for a
pencil. But for the fear that his own
neck might be jeoparded by an ex.
posture, Seagrue would have had done
with his two murderous tools then and
there, but he had put himself in their
power and dare not refuse. Spike,
despite his handcuffed wrists, managed
to scribble a note on Seagrue's cuff,
telling him where the survey had been
hidden. The officers coming out of
the library, marched their prisoners
away.
Alone in his room, the half-sickened
conspirator read Spikes message He
paused and for long moment pom
dered his situation. 1t was not hard
for him to shake from his conscience
his own responsibility for the tragic
outcome of his villainy and Capelle's.
1t was, he argued, not what he had
contemplated or desired. 1t was Ca
pelle's fault. Accidents will happen
sometimes fatal ones. The game
might still be his.

companion, Hyde, to connect up IT,
drills: his orders from Capelle were
to open the safe.
Upstairs, Helen, in slumber, was
half-awakened by whistle signal.
Storm was bringing a freight train
down the hill to wait for the midnight
flyer. The rumble of passing trains
rarely disturbed her. This night a
much lighter but an unusual sound
woke her completely. She sat up
moment, listening. 1t seemed close
someone was in the house. Turning
on light and dressing hastily, Helen
opened the hall door Of her room.
She had been careful not to make
the slightest noise in her movements.
Unfortunately the light behind her sill
houetted her figure on the floor at the
foot of the broad flight Of stairs
Spike, keeneyed, in the library, saw
it. He touched Hyde. "Douse it,"
he muttered. Hoyde extinguished the
light. The two paused, listened, walked
into the hall and paused again. Then
they started noiselessly up the stairs.
Guarded as they had been, Helen
felt their presence. With fast,beating
heart she ran to her window. Out in
the night she could see the light of
a torch. 1t was Storms light, car
ried as he worked around his en-

conductor TO put Cut a nagman 20 pro-
tect the freight; he half lifted and
half pushed Helen up into the cab,
and the instant the fireman cut off
the engine, started in pursuit Of the
fast-receding passenger train.
But the stern chase is the long
chase. The freight engineer had set
himself a difficult task; one thing
alone was in his favor, everything
else was against him. He was run
ming a light engine against one pull
ing a strong string Of sleeping cars.
But his own machine was built for
traction, not for speed, and he was
pitting it against one of the fastest
types Of engines on the division. From
the time Storm opened the throttle
not q device was left untried to make
his ponderous engine go fast; not a
trick of all those that had already
made his reputation as an exceptional
runner was now overlooked and every
resource Of the engineers art was
brought into play to overhaul the fly
ing passenger train.
Helen crouched on the fireman's box
with her eyes straining ahead into
the darkness, or glancing across the
hooded lights Of the cab at the pro-
file of the silent engineer, waited in
vain for him to look toward her. 1t
seemed as if he had forgotten her
existence. His attention, for the mo-

tying the bell to the telephone wire
that connected with the main line
wires, she started the jingling mes
senger off for help.
T he engineman, busy with his work,
presently heard the slight jingle, but
only to wonder for a moment what
it could be. The two criminals had
entered Helen's room The instant
she stepped in from the balcony they
caught and overpowered her-stifed
her screams, and in spite of her con-
tinuing struggles, rudely gagged her.
The bell again attracted Storms at
tention, and he was puzzled to deter
mine what it might mean. Looking
towards Helen's home he saw bright
light in one Of the upper windows.
Then, of a sudden, he saw more-sil-
houetted against the pane, a woman
and man were struggling. He
alarmed the crew and ran swiftly up
the hill for General Holmes house.
In the interval, leaving Helen help
less, the safe-bloWers descended the
stairs. Holmes and Rhinelander had
likewise been awakened by the muf-
fled sounds of the struggle and the
two appeared in the upper hall. Sea-
grue joined them and with his uncle
hurried into Helen's room, where she
was trying to release herself. But her
father, turning downstairs, had in
terrupted the two safe-blowers at the
very library door. The old soldier
was no match for the two men, but
he tackled them together. He had
hardly begun to fight when he was
struck down by a blackjack and the
TWO thugs, survey in hand, made their
escape. They crossed the lawn, gained
the shrubbery close to the gate, and
i'll the distance saw the headlight Of
the midnight passenger train. Signal
was not one Of it's stops, but the safe
blowers ran hard for the station and
taking a long chance for their get
away they recklessly but safely board
ed the running train as it slowed
somewhat for the bridge.
In the confusion within the house
hold Helen had been released. She
had Historically told her story and as
she and her friends rushed down
stairs she encountered Storm, who had
helped her daZed father to a chair.
Are you hurt, daddy?" asked his
daughter anxiously.
No. he cried, ''and I've given one
Of them a jolt he'll remember. But
Helen!'-in his agitation he laid his
hand heavily on his daughters Shout
der" those damned scoundrels have
got our survey"
'Then they shall never get off with
it, exclaimed Helen with flashing
eyes. 1--WE will catch them if it
kills somebody"
She gave her orders right and left
for caring for her father, calling the
police and for making the pursuit.
The boarding of the moving pas
senger train by the two men had not
escaped Storms eyes, and few
words with Helen were enough to clear
things. The flyer was gone and the
burglars with it, but there was
chance yet to get them. fastening
with Storm down the hill, Helen told
him the whole story. When the two
reached the siding Storm asked the

Police officers were already in
charge and the safe-blowers were
turned over to them. Helen, agitated
and anxious, was met at the door Of
the library by Amos Rhinelander. His
face was grave. With a keen, ques-
tioning look her fathers friend laid
his hand tenderly on her arm as she
attempted to enter the room. Stop,

Storm stood near. She would have
pushed past Rhinelander, but again
he opposed her entrance. "And where

den realization had come upon her.

within his arm, 1--WE are under the or
ders of the police. Nothing in the IL
