C. W. CARR ARRESTED
ON YARTER'S TESTIMONY
All Six Men Implicated in
HoIdupS Have Been Taken
in CuStody

The Iast of the six men implicated
bv William Jerome Yarter in his con-
fession regarding the Black and Boykin
holdups which startled Atlanta in the
fall of 1916, was taken into custody
Saturday night, when G. w. Carr was
brought TO the tower from Jackson Ga,
where he was arrested late IN the aft
ernoon.
Carr, with Harry Young, J. E. Ogan.
G. c. carson, Paul Estes and b. H. Nc
Whorter. was indicted by the Fulton
county grand jury at special session
Thursday morning, charged with COM
plicity in the two highway robberies.
He was arrested by Sheriff Lawrence
Crawford. of Butts county, at the re-
quest of the Fulton county authorities
who had reason to believe that Carr was
staying at the home of relatives IN
Jackson. When apprehended by Sheriff
Crawford, Carr refused to be convinced
that he was wanted in Atlanta and
would not surrender until Chief Beav-
ers had been called over the long-dis-
lance telephone to tell of Yarter's con-
fession and the action of the grand
iury. Then he came along back toN At
lanta in an automobile without any fur
Their trouble.
Carr told the officers that he left At
lanta Thursday to make a visit to his
relatives in Butts county, knowing
nothing of any pending action by the
grand Jury or any confession by var
ter. He was completely surprised by
the arrest, he declared, and stoutly
maintained his innocence of any wrong
doing.
He even offered to lay a wager that
he would never be convicted of the
charge against him and was inclined to
regard his predicament lightly when
discussing the situation at police mead
quarters Saturday night.
In default of $4,000 bond, Carr was
held a prisoner and will be transferred
to the tower on Sunday.
B. H McWhorter, the fifth man to
he taken into custody as the result OF
Yarter's confession walked into the
sheriff's office Saturday afternoon and
gave himself up, making bond of $4,000
Cor his appearance in court He is al
ready under $500 bond pending his
motion for a new trial, following his
conviction on a charge of automobile
thefts which brought him a 13-year SEN
tence at the hands of Judge Ben II. Hill,
a few weeks ago.
IT is expected that ]. E. Ogan, anoth-
er of the sextet implicated by Yarter
in the Black and Boykin hold-ups' VIII
be brought back from Indianapolis, Ind,
within a day or two, as an officer has
gone to the Indiana capital to receive
him from the police there, who arrest

ADJUSTMENT OF SUGAR
SITUATION LIKELY soon
Sterilization of Prices Prom
ised by Food Administration
Before January |

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Stabilization
of sugar prices, the food administration
advanced tonight, probably will be &C
complished before the end of December.
Prices now are widely different In
many parts of the country.
Purchase of 10000 bags of Cuban old
sugar at a price Of $50 delivered In
New York, duty paid, was announced
here today by the international sugar
committee. No more Cuban sugar will
be purchased on a basis higher than
$3.50. delivered. The first Porto Rican
sugar, which will arrive December 10,
will take the Cuban new crop price.
When the Cuban sugar purchased to-
day arrives, about December 10, the
basic price will be reduced so as to bring
a reduction in the refiners, price to $S.15
in New York. When all the Cuban old
crop sugar has been disposed of, prob
ably by December 20, the basic price
again will be dropped. The new re-
fners' list price then should range, 1t
was said from 1926 to $7.45.

10 suicide and not so apt to die-if it
ate less.
Prefacing his statement with the bor-
rowed remark that thousands of hu-
mans dig their graves with their teeth
a high food administration official to-
night cited German statistics for the
second year of the war to prove his
case.
This. he said, lis one instance In
which Americans would do well to en-
ulate the Teutons The executive head
OF one of the largest insurance compa-
mics in the United States has received
a report from its actuary in Germany
showing that despite reduced food ra-
tons the number of deaths among its
policy holders was reduced Is per cent"
The insurance official. among reasons
for this reduction, give fewer losses
from suicide" and "the general i'm
provement in health Of noncombatants
as a result of their more rational way
of living. These records are for the pc
riod from August 1, 1915 to July %,
1916.
That" sair the food official. was
after the Germans had been put on re-
duced rations and before they suffered
physically for want of sufficient food.
They're not doing so well now.
1T is a lesson we hundred million
American individuals might well take
to heart. Not only would the reduction
release tons upon tons of food TO help
win the war. but there would be fewer
cases OF the blues. fewer suicides. fewer
dyspeptics, fewer deaths and a general
enhancement of cheerfulness among

Over the languorous palm and the

Dazzling IN color, rare vision Of

Matchless her bars as the high

Purest the blue of her field whence

Sing to the breeze of the rights of

Wonderful stripings of ivory unsul-

Honor alone is the test OF the man.
Radiant symbol Of Love universal.

Torch to the minds of the men Of

Lamp to the hearts of the mothers

Fade from the vision Of women and
Born Of much travail, behold her re-

Treading the winds where the bold
