SLOUGH HATTED5 CULPRITS BUSY
 IN FAIRFIELD
Three Hold-Ups and Bicycle Theft Engage Criminal
 Authorities Attention.
Especial to The Farmer.)


 Fairfield, July 7-Deputy Sherih William H. Gould is trying to. find out the culprit who walked into the back yard of Richard Everett of Jackman avenue. Stratfield. last evening and stole a. new bicycle. The wheel was valued at $20. Many complaints have of late been reported to Sheriff Gould of residents in that section who lost automobile tires and bicycles.
 No clue has as yet been obtained by the police authorities of Fairfield over the three reported hold-ups in the town on Tuesday evening. Henry Hall, brother of Howard N. Wakeman. grand juror, of Southport, reported to Sheriff Gould that three men appar- ently of foreign extraction. attempted to bind and gag him but were thwart- cd by the approach of an automobile. MT. Hall was relieved of no valuables. The second hold-up occurred in front of the Set-a-Spell tea house when Miss Mary Lee of Harbor road was ac- costed. Her screams frightened the robbers away.
 Russell of Willow street, sisters of William Russell, postmaster, were stopped near the same place. Some tewelry was taken from them.
 Sheriff Gould stated today that none of the three persons said they could identify the men as they wore slouch hats which virtually covered then foreheads.

PROF. DAVID STANLEY SMITH,

PROF. DAVID STANLEY SMITH, Master of Music, the Vale Pageant. gle work, yet this is true of the Pag cant music. Each episode of the Pag- cant has been turned over to one man to set to music Naturally, since this is Yale Pageant, the book and music both are the work of Yale men. The music is by Professor Horatio Parker, Dean of the Music School and well known as the composer of the two prize operas, Mona" and "Fairyland;;" Professor Dayid Stanley Smith, also well known as a composer; Professor Harry B. Jepson,> the University Or ganist; Seth Bingham, Organist of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, in New York; Waiter Ruel Cowles and William E. Haesche, instructors in the Music School, and Dauglas Moore, a graduate student in the Music School.
 Professor Smith Will Conduct.
 The big man of the day, unsteady speaking, who bears the imposing title of Master of Music, will be Professor David Stanley Smith, who will con duct the great band of over 100 ,instru- ments and the male chorus of several hundred, formed by the Yale Glee Club and the College Choir.
 ''In writing the music," says Prof. Smith, i've had to work very much as an opera composer writes his score Each man was given the ibretto of his particular episode, with stage di- rections and suggestions written in.
 'The Pageant will open with trum- pet fanfare, which was written by Will liam Edwin Haesche, an instructor in Instrumentation in the School of Mu- sic. He, by the way, is the man who had charge of the scoring for the band, and is arranging the music. Then comes the Marriage of Margaret cpl sode, which wrote for full band and a chorus of Welsh bards. The First Episode was written by Seth Bingham, Yale 1902, who is organist of the Mad ison Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York. The First Interlude is the work of Walter Ruel Cowles, Yale 1916, instructor in the School of Music. Harry Benjamin Jepson wrote the next part, the second or Revolutionary cpl sode. MT. Jepson is the University or tanist.
 Horatio Parker's Work.
 Professor Horatio Parker, the Dean of the Music School, wrote the second interlude, and the next episode was done by Douglas Moore, a graduate student in the Music School. The Wooden Spoon Prom, which is the third interlude, Is the work of Haesche, and I wrote the fourth episode and Prof. Parker the finale.
 "We tried to apportion off to each man the part we thought most suited to his style of work. For instance, Mr. Bingham and MT. Moore both have a splendid sense of humor in music, so we asked them to do the humorous in- cidents in the pageant. Moore wrote some wonderful mock serious music for the Burial of Euclid.'"

Most Remarkable Reception at
Grafton Since the Famous
McGraW Demonstration.

GRAFTON, May 24.-No more rous-
ing reception has been given any can.
didate in the present primary cam
paign in Taylor county than that &C.
corded William F. Hite. Of Huntington.
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for United States senator to sue
coed William E. Chiffon, Democrat.
during Mr.. Hite's visit the last two
days in the county.
AS a campaigner Mr.. Hite proved
himself a real vote getter. The same
high class business methods which
characterizes the man in his daily
walks are conspicuous in his campaign
1t is evident to all observers that
his method Of campaign is based on
the aim to get results and he loses no
time in making every minute count.
He is no dreamer but a real worker
and he made his visit to this county
count.
Railroad men almost to man met
and talked with Mr.. Hite here. Farm
ers by the hundreds came to see him
and they went away satisfied that
Hite is right. Business and profess
sional men hocked to him to assure
him Of their support. In fact.
he saw and talked to more voters
than any candidate who has visited
Taylor county this year and his visit
was not in vain. There never was
much doubt that he would carry Tay-
lor county by a nice majority and now
there is no doubt at all about It.
The reception held by him at the
Willard hotel last night. marking the
close of his campaign in this county,
was the most remarkable here since
the Homecoming" Of Col. John T. Nc
Graw following the Chiffon purchase of
the federal senatorship in Charleston
in 1911. 1t not only greatly pleased
the candidate but 1t convinced the
great throngs attending that they
were in the presence Of the man Of the
hour in this state and he next United
States senator from West Virginia.

ROBINSON
Will Address a Great Rally Of
Harrison County Voters
Here Monday NIGHT.

Announcement was made Wednes-
day that Judge Ire E. Robinson, Of
Grafton, Republican candidate for
governor, will address Harrison coun-
ty voters at 8 o'clock Monday night.
May 20. in the court house here.
1t is expected that the meeting will
be the greatest political rally held
here during the present campaign.
Judge Robinson Is especially popular
in Harrison county and Republican
and other voters are rallying most en-
Enthusiastically to his standard. The
distinguished jurist is the most pop
ular man in West Virginia with tho
working classes. and especially with
coal miners as a result Of his famous
opinion as a member Of the state SUI
preme court in the Kanawha valley
strike troubles few years ago in
which he upheld the side OF the min
ers. He is equally popular with rail-
road men as a result of his long res
idence among them at Grafton.
The judge will present his claims
for the nomination and preach sound
Republican doctrine, and while the
meeting will doubtless mark a
great outpouring of voters who
believe in honest, capable govern
ment, there will hardly be anything
Of the spectacular about 1t, or any
indulgence in denunciation Of citi-
Gems as marked a previous effort or
two here by those opposed to Judge
Robinson.
