STORE BURGLAR|zED
Entered And Worked While
Watched. Booty Sent To Kan
sas City. Fought Officers

About as bold robbery by as
bold burglar as has infested this
section for years was committed
at Brunswick during the street
fair last week by an ex-convict
who gives his name as William
Thompson and who now Ian
guishes in the county bastile in
the custody of Sheriff Hurt.
Some time after midnight some
men standing across the street
from Knight and Fuckers store
noticed some one or more at
work in the store among the
goods and these watched the
robbery going on for time when
officers were summoned and the
store surrounded. The robbers
came out and Thompson was
halted by night watchman for
'the city, Ed Murray, whom
Thompson brushed aside and
told to stand away. The
watchman thrust a big revolver
against the breast of Thompson
and told him he would kill him
if he tried to get away. Thomp-
son told him to fire away and
proceeded to walk off, going
alive.
1t was learned that a package
of the goods supposed to have
been taken from the store had
been shipped by express to Kan.
sas City and the authorities there
were notified to look out for the
party who called for the pack
age and arrest him.
Detectives Oldham and Phelan
and patrolman Enright were on
hand when Thompson claimed
the package and placed him un-
der arrest and Immediately they
encountered about as active
prisoner as ever they tried to
handle. Thompson knocked
them down in rotation and for
fifteen minutes. according to the
Kansas City papers. they had i.
up and down and around and
round. Thompson was finally
subdued by being pretty severely
beaten as his condition indicated
when Sheriff Hurt arrived with
the prisoner Monday afternoon.
Joe Shannon, the irrepressible
bootlegging niger of Brunswick
had been arrested for the sane
offense and Sheriff Hurt sent
word to Chief Tisdale to meet
him at Brunswick and assist gett-
ing the pair to Jail. Thompson
was handcuffed to Shannon and
they were landed in Jail Monday
evening.
Thompson has a record. In
1907 as he was being unloaded at
police headquarters in Kansas
City, tho handcufed, he bested
four policemen and escaped. He
was captured and sent to the
pen for two years on a similar
charge.
When Thompson was arrested
the last time he had four gold
watches on his person. He was
connected in some way with the
show boat wonderland, it is said,
and when at Brunswick with
Sheriff Hurt he wanted to go to
the boat but no chances were
takenby the officer nor will there
be with this desperate.
About SIPS. 90 worth of goods
were taken.

MEXICO.

While numbers of the Ameri-
can troops have been withdrawn
from the border, there are
enough left in Mexico to protect
our people and be on hand for
whatever action becomes neces-
sary. Villa is the object again of
a general hunt by Carranza
troops and our own, and until he
is obliterated bodily, hope for
peace is misplaced.

CONGRESSMAN ADAMSON'S DE
NAL AND EXPLANATION.

Washington, D. c., April %, 1916.
Dear Sir: I enclose you clipping
taken from this weeks issue of the
Jeffersonian, sent you from Carroll
ton, Georgia. That and similar
notices have been sent all over the
State by voluntary press agency at
Carrollton inimical to me, and so
far as I have seen, all of their state
ments have been false.
The statements in the enclosed
clipping to which I object are, that
upon this hearing he refused to in
sist upon confirmation and refused to
stand by the nominee, and thus the
nomination was killed in the Senate"
Of course it is not your fault that
you printed a. statement that APP
peared to be authentic, but ask you,
in justice to me, to state in your.
paper next week that those state
ments are unmitigated and malicious
falsehoods. The Senators objected
to number of editorial criticisms in
Mr.. Thomasson's paper, which they
held to be so offensive they positively
refused to overlook them. l stood
by him to the end and insisted on his
confirmation, but to no. purpose. I
was unable to overcome the objec-
tons of the Senators.
Yours truly,
W. G. ADAMSON.

MI sador of the Pope to the
80 United States Government,
called at the White House and de-
livered to the President of the United
States a diplomatic message from
the Pope as Sovereign of the Tenn
poral Dominions of the Holy Roman
Church. The papal ambassador Or
nuncio refused to disclose the nature
and contents of the communication
to the President, and no information
as to it's contents could be obtained
from the White House.
In the course of a few hours, how
ever, it became generally reported
and understood that the Pope was
urging the President to avoid a sew
erance of diplomatic relations with
Germany, and that the Kaiser had
directed the Pope to inform the
President that Germany would be
willing to make peace if the Allies
would give her Belgium, Poland and
the Northern portion of France and
all her colonies which have been
wrested from her during the war and
would pay her an indemnity equal to
the expenses incurred in conducting
the war
Of course the terms of peace sug-
gested will not be considered in Lon
don, Paris, st. Petersburg or Italy.
There are strong reasons for
doubling whether the Pope's mes
sage to the President really had ref
erence to European problems. When
he sent Cardinal Gibbons several
months ago on political mission to
the White House it was reported at
the time that the European war was
the subject Of the interview. But it
later became reasonably apparent
that Mexico instead of Europe was
the real issue in which the Pope was
endeavoring to meddle Time may
disclose that the recent visit of the
papal ambassador to the White
House was for the furtherance Of
papal intrigue against the govern
ment and people of Mexico. 1t
would be interesting to know what
part if any the recent disclosures
made to the President by the Free
Press Defense League played in
bringing about this message from the
Vatican to the White House.
But the most interesting circum-
stance to patriotic Americans is the
activity of the Pope in the politics
and diplomacy of America and Mex
leo and Europe Papists insist on
calling every one bigot and an A.
P. A., who intimates that the Pope
with his vast empire is in politics.
What right has the Pope, if not
engaged in politics, to keep an envoy
or ambassador at the Capital Of this
country? What right has he to send
secret diplomatic messages through
that envoy to the President of the
United States?
Since he is thus engaged in world
politics and is playing the role of a
Sovereign, what right have his sub
iects in this country to occupy seats
in Congress, to draw liberal salaries
from the Treasury Of the United
States and to spend their time in
promoting legislation to exclude our
newspapers from the mail, to kidnap
and incarcerate our children in papal
prisons and to appropriate public
funds to papal schools and hospitals {!
What right have the subjects OF
this foreign sovereign to sit in the
Supreme Court of the United States
and in the inferior courts and there
determine the rights and liberties of
American citizens under our Consti-
tuition and laws? What right has
one L these subjects to preside over

Preserving Foods.

new method has been discovered.
says an English paper, for preserving
various food products, especially milk
powder. the idea being based upon
placing the substance in sealed yes
sci or packing case with inert gas, so
that this latter prevents the usual
spelling of contents by the action of
the air. In the French patented pro-
cess the milk powder is packed in
metal boxes of convenient size, which
are entirely sealed except for a pin
hole that is left at the top. A number
of such boxes are put in chamber
and the air is exhausted by means of
an air pump. When this operation is
finished valves are opened which allow
nitrogen TO enter the chamber and fill
up the several boxes. When opening
up the chamber the boxes are quickly
removed and the pinhole soldered he
fore an appreciate amount of air has
time to enter. In this way the con-
tents of the boxes are kept in an at
mosphere of inert gas, and the process
is thus practical from an industrial
standpoint.
