HENRY GRADY WEBB ! STILL AT LARGE LATE LAST NIGHT Officers Confident, How ever, That He Will Be
 Taken in Next Day
 or Two
Henry Grady Webb is still at large

Henry Grady Webb IS still at large. Despite all the efforts of the postoffice | inspectors yesterday the young plumber, automobile salesman and clubnan, who is alleged to be the head of the Harrison gang of train robbers, still eluded the net spread out to catch him by the sleuths of the United States.
 At his residence, 1916 Marshall avenue, his wife still refused to make any state
 ment, and neighbors stated that Webb had left the city with every cent he could scrape together, leaving his family in des- titute circumstances
 At the federal building it was stated yesterday that Webb would likely be cap- tured within the next day or two. as it was almost impossible for him to escape and remain at liberty for any length of | time.
 ! The police net worked around Henry | Grady Webb. who had offices in the l American Trust building as a dealer -ir
 I automobile supplies, but who formerly
 was a plumber and is well known in local
 {, labor union circles, closed on Thursday 1 morning-but the bird had flown. The 1 arrest of Webb was the final link in the | chain of the United States government around the Harrison gang alleged rob- I ld. . cipally at Irondale and at Bibbville, and
 more recently at Central, W. Va, where over $1OO,OOO was secured in loot All or the members of the gang which includes Jeff Harrison, Dick Harrison. charles Harrison, Walter Rentz and Ben Mckee, are under arrest at the present time.
 It was stated at the government build- Ing yesterday that the local end of the great countrywide case was worked up py Detective Harry Goldstein of the Bir- l mingham police department. The federal o1ticers give all the credit to Mr. Gold stem TOT whatever success was attained. SURPRISE IN ETOWAH Gadsden, March 31.-(Speciai )-Rer

PEOPLE OBJECT
TO DOGS IN
PARKVIEW
THEATRE

i +
The manager of Parkview Theatre
has frequently requested patrons OF
the theatre not to bring dogs to the
show, and he has made these re-
quests because complaints had bee,
made that it was annoying to others.
Last week a committee waited upon
the manager and stated to thim that
ii something wAs not done to abate
this nuisance the theatre would be
short of some. who attended fire.
Now, as the request is perfectly
right and reasonable. the manage
ment serves notice that no one will
be admitted~to the theatre II accom-
panied by q dog, and II . dog ds
slipped into the theatre without his
knowledge that charge Of s. will
be made for same.
When dogs get Into the theatre.
while they may be pets to thesoWn-
er, they are like any othsrf 4og to
strangers. They fight and make
other people nervous. and they take
privileges that human beings would
be jailed for. The odor is uninvit-
ing to the public and the owners
themselves are embarrassed by the
unpleasant situation for which, they
feel they are responsible.
The management also requests
that children with whooping-cough
be not brought to the theatrs. The
audience should be sufficient to cause
parents to heed this request.
; The management has enlarged the
theatre, is putting on the best pic
lures attainable. and il doing all i
can to make the theatre attractive
and popular. 1t wishes the good
will of the public, and 1t must make
such rules as are demanded for pub
lie safety, comfort and convenience.

April Goth as Tick
Eradication Day.
SCHOOLS OF ST. TAM
MANY TO 0BsEVE IT
Pupils Will Be Taught How
Pest May Be Destroyed
and Cost of Pest to
Farms Of State.

In response to the Governor >
proclamation, the 10th day OF April
has been set aside in the public
schools as Tick Eradication ray.
The great importance of riddlng 1he
State of the cattle tick has popular
ized this movement for educating
the people as to the cost OF this pest
and the means OF destroying 1t.
The following list of questions ard
answers have been prepared for dis
tribution in the schools:
Kill the Cattle Tick. Why.
/. Because the Cattle Tick car
ries and transmits the germ VI TEX
as Fever and prevents US from get
ti6g good animals from the tlck-free
sections to improve our cattle.
2. Because Cattle Ticks Kill our
own native cattle in the winter W.en
feed becomes scarce.
8. Because Cattle Ticks reiuce
the quantity and quality OF our mix
supply.
4. Because Cattle Ticks cause
quarantine of our beef cattle from
the most profitable markets.
5. Because Tick Eradication
means an open market for our cattle
at any and all seasons OF the year
without restrictions.
s. Because Cattle Ticks prevent
our farmers from competing Wlti
Northern farmers in the best cattle
markets.
4 Because cattle that are tick
free make much larger gains, on the
same feed, than those that are tick
infested.
8. Because Cattle Ticks hinder
diversified farming, which is SO much
needed to develop our agricultural
resources.
9. Because Cattle Ticks keep
many desirable immigrant farmers
and stockmen away from Louisiana
10. Because Tick Eradication
would greatly increase the value OF
our farm lands.
IL. Because Tick Eradication
would increase the value Of our
cattle from IS to $40 per head in the
markets; and enable us to import
better cattle to add to the values:
When the Cattle Tick goes out, the
Dollar comes in.
l2. Because all of the other
Southern States are killing the Cat
tie Tick, and Louisiana cannot al
ford to lag behind and lose the bene-
fits OF Tick Eradication.

STOMACH UPSET?
Get At the Real Cause-Take
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets.

That's what thousands of stomach sufferers are doing now. Instead of taking tonics, or trying to patch up a poor digestion, they are attacking the real cause of the atlment-clogged liver and disordered bowels.
 pr. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse the liver in a soothing. healing way, when the liver and bowels are per forming their natural functions, away goes indigestion and stomach trou- bles.
 If you have a bad taste in your mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor, lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or energy, troubled with undigested food, you should take Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel
 pr. Edwards Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable compound mixed with Olive oil. You will know them by their olive color. They do the work without griping, cramps or pain.
 Take one or two at bedtime for quick relief, so you can eat what you like. At 10c and 25c per box. All druggists. The Olive Tablet Com pany, Columbus, O.-Adv.

A CHILD DOESN'T LAUGH AND PLAY
 IF CONSTIPATED
If peevish, feverish and sick, give California Syrup
 of Figs"

Mother! Your child isn't naturally cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign it's little stomach, liver and bowels need a cleansing at once.
 When 1istless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore. doesn't t eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom- ach-ache, diarrhoea, remember, a. gen. tie liver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment given.
 Nothing equals California Syrup of Figs for children's ills; give a tea spoonful, and in a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermenting food which is clogged in the bowels passes out of the system, and you have a, well and playful child again. All children love this harmless, delicious fruit laxative and it never fails to effect a good inside cleansing. Di- rections for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the bot tie.
 Keep it handy in your home. A lit tie given today saves a sick child to- morrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of Cali fornia Syrup of Figs then look and see that it is made by the California Fig Syrup Company."-Adv.

PHELAN FINDING PROVIDES BASIS
 FOR SETTLEMENT
Relatives Entitled to Dam lges For Death of Un-
 claimed Wreck Victim.

No attempt to fix the blame for the deaths of Patrick Connors, alias John Collins, and Joseph Frye, victims of the railrUadE wreck at Indian3 River, Milford, on Washington,s birthday, is made by Coroner John J. Phelan in his finding completed today. For the responsibility for their death Coroner PheIan refers to the finding of Coro- ner Eli Mix of New Haven in whose jurisdiction the wreck occurred.
 Frye was porter on the Pullman car Napoleon" He was buried in Union cemetery, Greenwich. His wife claimed the body. Coroner Phelan finds that Connor or Collins was evil dently a passenger on train No. 79. This finding will entitle his relatives to heavy damages if they can be found. Connor is buried in St. Mich aePs cemetery. No one identified his body,
 C11linan & Mullins, as creditors for the funeral expenses were appointed by Judge Miller in the probate court as administrators of his estate. W. T. HalIorans a claim agent for the rail- raod company, had asked Judge Mil Ter to make a compromise settlement of the estate for a nominal sum but the judge refused holding that it had not been established whether the dead man was an empIoye of the road or a. passenger.
 The finding of Coroner PheIan es- tablishes the fact that he was a pas senger and his relatives if any appear may claim large damages.
