YOUNG MAN HAS
LEG AMPUTATED

News was received in Americas
Saturday that John Brown, the young
may who had his foot mashed while
coupling cars on the Seaboard Rail-
way at Fort Davis Friday, had to have
his foot amputated in Montgomery,
where he had been taken Immediately
after the accident.
The attending physicians at first
thought the young man would escape
the surgeons knife, but Friday night
blood-poisoning threatened and the
amputation was thought to be neces-
sary. Mr.. Brown is very well-known
III Americas and the accident which
caused him to lose one of his feet is
very much regretted here by his large
number of friends.

WARM NEATHERFOR
KILLING MEAT AND
MOVING BASEBALL

This recent warm weather around
Americas has accomplished two
things at any rate. The first thing it
accomplished was to destrop quite an
amount of meat killed during the last
cold snap. The second accomplishment
was to start the baseball bug buzzing
around the two schools in the city and
tie busy insect is busy in even the
hearts of the Americas business men.
The prospect for the two school
teams is excellent indeed. The Ag-
gle bunch begins active practice on
February 14th and the presence of
several veteran players in the school
insures the institution a good team.
Glenn Colby will again have charge of
tha squad and he is very optimistic
over the Aggies' chances to procure a
championship team. The following
men have had one or more years ex-
perience on the cam: Kezar,
Swinson, English, Dorman, Williams
and Glare.
Over at the Americas High school
the students are not at all pessimistic
over their prospects for a winner.
While only two of last years squad
are in school several have entered
since the opening of the term and
their fame on the diamond preceded
them. Prof. Hoslt will have charge
CT the team and the system in vogue
among the schools of the North in
athletics will be used by him to de-
Velop the team. Bolton and Mathis
are three year men. Johnson, Brown
md Harold are the three new men
almost certain to secure a berth on
the regular team.

HENPECKED HENRY

Dull care will have no place at he
0rera House next Monday afternoon
and night, when Halton Powell's fam
Gus musical comedy "Henpeckei

1t depicts certain phases of married
life in most original manner, but at
no time does it overstep the line of
refinement.
Henry Bowser, a retired banker
from Kalamazoo, Mich, visits Chicago
with his daughter and domineering
wife. Henry is a gay blade when
wiley is not looking and much to his
joy starts a Irritation with a celebrat-
ed vaudeville coincidence who is liv-
ing in the same hotel. His attentions
to the actress and her numerous as.
sistants arouse the jealousy of his
wife who watches him with the eye of
hawk. While the parents are thus
busily engaged the daughter falls
desperately in love with an impecun-
ious young college chap. A sudden
turn in the situation causes Henrys
wife to order him to make love to the
actress. He obeys so we'll that she re-
rounces> him and turns the play into
mock tragedy. The incidental music
and song numbers are of the light
whistly kind and a most capable COM
psny of farceurs, singers, dancers and
beautiful girls make up the personnel
of the presenting cast.

Interesting Sport Letter
Gathered From All Spheres

| NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-lf Norman s
Tabor listens to the call of his former
trainer, the holder of the worlds rec
ord for the mile for the mile will make
another attack upon running records
during the coming summer. Ed O'Con-
nor, former Brown University trainer,
who prepared Tabor for his success
full race at the Harvard stadium on
July 16, 1915, when he made new fig
ures for the mile, is anxious that Ta-
Dor take try at Their three-quarter
mile record. O'Connor is confident
that the former Brown and Oxford,
Eng, University runner can easily low
er the time now found against this
event in he record books.
Tabor has a remarkable record as a
middle distance runner both in this
country and in England where he
studied at Oxford University as a
Rhodes scholar. He was a pace maker
for John Paul Jones, of Cornell, when
the latter lowered the one mile anna
teur record at the intercollegiate
games in 1918. After running dead
heat with Jones in the mile event the
year previous. In 1914 he was mem
Der of the oxford University four mile
relay team which defeated the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania team in the
sensational event of the Pennsylvania
relay carnival. In that event the first
three relays ran comparatively even
and Jackson of Oxford and McCurdy OF
Pennsylvania finished the final mile
with less than foot lead for the
English runner. Last year Tabor sur
passed all his previous efforts When
he ran a special paced mile under A.
A U. sanction in 4.12 3-5 establishing
a new worlds record in both amateur
ard professional divisions.
Now O'Connor believes that Tabor
can lower the three-quarter mile rec
ord as we'll and the trainers confer
ton appears to be well supported by
Tabor's performances in the past. The
three-quarter mile, which is equivalent
to 1920 yards, is an unusual racing
istance and there have been attempts
made for the record in this event in
recent years. The Late Tommy Con-
neff made the outdoor amateur record
On August 81, 1895, when he ran the
distance in 1902 4-5. The indoor rec
ord is held by J. P. Driscoll who hung
up 3.07 at Buffalo, March Is, 1913. The
professional record dates back to June

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
LECISLA RS
AND THE PUBLIC OF GEORGIA
FROM THE
CLERGYMEN OF SAVANNAH

itself, and the best elements of the
community are rallying to his support
"The efforts that are being made to
array legislators and others against
Mayor Pierpont and the Board of Al
dermen on the ground that liquors are
now being sold in Savannah is merely
a subterfuge Of those who are well
known to have continuously opposed
all stringent anti-liquor laws and inn
partial law enforcement in the past,
and are unworthy of your considera-
ton. The good citizens of Savannah,
its responsible business men, and those
who are determined that the new laws
shall be respected and obeyed here,
have entire confidence in Mayor Pier
pont and condemn the circulation of
such reports and the purposes which
inspire them.
The fact to be remembered now is,
not that conditions that existed for
eight years prior to Mr.. Pierpont's
elevation to the mayoralty of Savan-
nah are still in force, though we be-
lieve that they have already been very
much modified through his efforts, but
that he declares his intention to efar-
come effective next April, and that his
declaration of purpose is taken ser
iously by those in the liquor business
an dthose out Of it in favor of its con-
tinuance as is already seen by the ac-
tons of both.
Because of his stand we confidently
look forward to far different condi-
tons In this respect from those that
have prevailed in our city in recent
years, and hope through them to see
the stigma under which Savannah has
labored to be speedily removed.
TO this end we shall work and pray,
and earnestly ask of you your hearty
support in our fight for righteous gov
eminent in our CITY,"

VILLA DEAD. SAYS
NAN FROM EGYPT.
Wanted to Know What He
Should Do; Was Told
He'd Done Enough.

J. H. Oates from Chihuahua. who
arrived recently with his family as
refugees from Mexico. states that the
man from Egyptian Arabian to quote
him exactly-told him that Villa was
dead.
"Villa's ordinarily smooth face was
scanned with pain" the man from
Egypt said to Mr.. Oates, according to
Mr.. Oates "and before the bandit
breathed his last he remarked What
shall 1 do? What shall l do%"
Villas attendant replied: Il wouldn't
do anything if 1 were YOU Pancho-
you've already done enough"
Villa is then said TO have sighed and
then died.
The man from Egypt also informed
Mr.. Oates that Villa had died at Satevo.
Mr.. Oates, contrary to the report of
the officers commanding the airplanes
that visited Chihuahua. stated that the
air men had been received discour-
teously when they visited chihuahua.
lie also brought word to the border
that the inhabitants of Chihuahua are
all Villa sympathizers.
IF the American troops are with
drawn" said Mr.. Oates. Il shall not re-
turn to Mexico with my family"
MIR. oates terminated his interview
by saying that Villa might be caught
il alive-if the American troops used
the National railway line ana got i'm
south Of his retreat in the Parral
country.

While the maintenance Of an ade-
GUate gasoline supply is an item which
requires the best thought Of the quar-
termaster's department, il is said that
II is not such a problem as is involved
IN keeping up the commissary by means
OF wagons. It is am established fact
that a wagon load Of food will be
consumed by IT'S driver its mules and
its guard in ten days That means that
the surplus which may be taken from
a wagon requiring five days from point
Of supply to point Of delivery and four
days in which to return for another
load would be so small as to make the
number OF wagons in service many
times the number Of trucks needed.
The trucks will negotiate in two days
distance which a wagon could not
cover in less than five days or possibly
six. That means the saving OF the
rations Of the driver and guard for
three or four days and the feed Of four
mules for the same length OF time
Against this. OF course. is the weight
ard cost OF the gasoline burned by the
truck but that has been figured to
nicely and shows a saving not only on
weight but in dollars and cents in the
matter OF cost when compared with
oats or corn and hay.
