MOBILE MAN
IS HELD HERE
Police Claim He Was Trying
to Sell Articles Stolen
in Mobile.

A furnishings store near the police
station in Mobile was recently bur
glarized, and a large list of ladies'
dress goods, ladies furnishings, suit
cases, etc, were stolen. A few days
afterward kilograms to all nearby
cities were dispatched, instructing or
ficers to look out for and arrest a
certain described individual.
Yesterday morning white stran-
ger, giving his name as H. C. Clark,
saying he was SO years of age, and
that he was an Alabamian. was ar
rested in Pensacola. Articles which
he carried in a new suit case, and
which were found on him, were care
fully noted, and Police Captain Thos.
Cusachs called up the Mobile police
chief and read to him a detailed de-
scription of articles found in Clark s
possession.
The Mobile authorities at once de-
clared over the telephone that some
of the goods thus described were
among those stolen from a store in
Mobile, and they asked that Clark be
held until he could be returned TO
Mobile for trial.
Clark, accordingly, was ordered
held without bond until the arrival
of officers from Mobile A special of
ficer in the person of Detective Burch
arrived last night to return him to
Mobile. 1t was at first thought that
requisition would be sought, but this
was an unnecessary step as Clark
expressed a willingness to return
without such papers.
Among the articles stolen in the
Mobile robbery were large number
of silk hose, silk shirt waists, skirts,
dresses, evening frocks, worth from
So to $50 each, and three suit cases.
worth from 81 to So each. When
Clark was arrested here yesterday he
was said to have been trying to dis
pose of some of the stolen articles to
women in the city, and as he could

Washington, Jan. 13.-Statement
Of terms from Germany at least as

The German view here, however, is
there is little likelihood of any spe-

the trend of public sentiment abroad

There is no Indication in official
