SALESW0MAN IS HELD
FOR FORGERIES HERE
Police Say She and Husband
Planned Frauds While
Employed in Store.

As the huge plate glass of the
window behind which she sat buslly
engaged in sharpening the dull blades
of oft-uSed razors separted her from
the thousands who passed daily,mak-
ing their casual remarks about her
fair complexion, her golden hair or
her jeweled hands, so did the work
which Mrs. Ruth Megginson was en-
gagged in as she sat IN the window of
the Garner drug store separate her
from the work for which she was ar
rested late Saturday afternoon.
But her work afforded splendid
opportunity for outside efforts, say
the police, and when they went to her
rooms at 91S South Main, they report
finding the fruits of these efforts.
Two trunks filled to the trays with
fine silks, lingerie and other wearing
apparel were uncovered, and several
valuable rings were also recovered, 1t
is said.
SilCnt-But at Work.
Sitting silently i'm the show window
of the Garner drug store, Mrs. Meg
ginson, as she watched the silent
wheels of the razor blade sharpener
revolve, the police say, had ample
time to plan raids on the cash tills
of the local merchants she is alleged to
]
on the silk and lace counters she is
accused of depicting by use of her
muff or cloak.
Her plotting is said to inclue three
separate raids on the Nandeve> dry
goods store and the three forged checks
she passed on this l:rm led to her ar
rest and that of her husband, Leland
Megginson, head soda dispenser in
the Garner soda fountain.
Their arrest, that of the woman
late Saturday afternoon and of the
husband Sunday evening, probably
ends the greatest puzzle which has
confronted the police department in
the past year and places behind the
bars a couple who have been sought
by the officers for the past four
months.
by comparing the notes made in a
small book kept for the purposes ef
recording consignments of razor
blades with the signatures on the
checks the detective strengthened his
case and accompanied by Charles Nc
Donald, Bertellion expert, Outwater
went to the store and learned that the
soda dispenser. While Mcdonald
talked to the husband, OutwateI
placed the woman under arrest.
Husband Escaped.
This was the signal for the man to
break for safety, and pursued by Me
Donald he rushed To the back of the
store and eluded the officer. Mrs
Megginson was taken to the police sta
tion and late Saturday night con
fessed. Late Sunday, when the hus-
band returned to the store to secure
his clothing, he was placed under ar
rest by Detective Robert Jones.
The man and wife ere being held in
jail, awaiting a conference of the
merchants who We're robbed, which
will be held this morning, after which
it is expected charges of grand larceny
will he preferred against the two and
an additional charge of forgery will
be placed AGAINST the woman.

Many plans Proposed.

How the committee nominations will
be arranged has not been decided.
Heretofore the ways and means com
mittee has chosen members, subject
to the approval of the house. The
committee of 81, named by the Re
pubicans to lay plans for organizing
the coming house, has recommended
that "a committee OF 10, with the
speaker as chairman, shall make the
nominations. A plan to make nomin-
ations from the floor also has been
suggested.
All organization plans will be ar
ranged finally this week, the Demo-
Gratis caucusing Friday and the Re-
publicans comforting Saturday.
The five independent members also
will have a meeting during the week
to discuss their plans. The belief
grows here that they will be unable
to agree to act as an organization, but
will vote independently.

TWO TOWNS FALL
TO FRENCH HOST
Armies Advanced Over Two
and Half Mile Front To-
ward Saint Quentin.

The French forces and the Germans
again have been enRagedw in heavy
fighting on several sectors of the front
between the Somme and the Aisne
rivers, and again the French have
made advances toward the strongly
defended town of st. Quentin. Ac-
cording to the French war office, the
French troops have pushed forward
over a front Of about two and half
miles, south and southwest of st.
Quentin, the new positions taking in
the town of Castres, three miles south
west, and lGssigny-le- Grand. four miles
south of st. Quentin. Gains also were
made south of the Oise and north of
scissors.
Germany Acknowledges Loss.
Berlin admits the retirement of the
Germans, according to orders, be
fore the British between Beaumctz
and Roisel, northeast of Poronne, but
says the Germans repulsed French at
tacks northeast of scissors. For the
most part the fighting on the British
end of the line has consisted of
reciprocal raidng and bombing at
tacks
There has been considerable fight
ing in the air The Berlin war office
records the loss of II airplanes W
the French and British, while London
reports eight German machines were
driven down out of control, but ad-
mits that four British machiens failed
to return to their base. Bombs have
been dropped from German aircraft
on Calais and Dunkirk.
Spring Thaws Hold Slays.
While only small raiding operations
and artillery duels have been reported
from the Russian front, "A dispatch
from Petrograd says there Is indis-
putable evidence that the Germans are
bringing up large numbers of troops
on the northern part of the line for an
effort to break thru toward Petro-
krad.
The spring thaws are holding the
Russo Rumanians and Teutonic allied
troops in check in Rumania. In Ma
cedonia, near Monastir, much artillery
activity prevails. The usual artillery
duels and small infantry action con-
tinue in the Austro-Italian theater.

EASTERNRAItWAYS
MAY GET INCREASE.
IN HAULING RATES

Eastern railroads may be granted
a rate increase as a Christmas pres9
ent within a few days.
Although the Interstate Commerce
Commission has recommended to Con-
gress the taking over of the railways
and the President has been working
on arrangements TO effect such n
plan, the Eastern roads have repre-
scented to the Commission that pend
ing decision on this question, they
should have more revenues. They
WIN be unable TO continue operation
IL an increase is not granted, they
declare. -- .'
1t Is known that the commission
has been reviewing the evidence sub
mitted by the carriers in the last
10 per cent case, and has the case in
shape for n decision. II IL reported
today that the commission intends
shortly to grant the eastern roads
increases ranging from 10 to 10 per
cent on commodities with the excep-
tion OF anthracite and certain other
vital necessities OF life.
1t is stated that the commission
realizes that the railroads shortly
will be taken over By the Govern
ment. but that II feels, pending that
development, the eastern roads should
have larger revenues to meet their
immediate needs.
