Fredericksburg. Va, Aug. 20.--A
man In United States uniform was
taken up several nights ago by Officer
j. A. Stone and is held in the lookup.
He gave the name of Jack Milkherd,

piled that no such man has ever been

German descent and claim that he
enlisted at Bemidji. MINI, on April
%, and was sent to Jefferson Bar

jail several nights ago. His hat was
found hanging on the outside of the
window where Giles got out and man
whose mind Is weak. who was in Jail
| with them, stated that they both
worked together TO bend tho rods over
the window. He will be held for fur

alias Georgia Red. Both the men are

q policeman at the army base.
Cox was shot about 3;30 o'clock
Sunday morning when he and Police
Officer Pat Murphy entered a house
in Titustown with a view to raiding
an alleged crap game. Hardly had
the officers entered the house, accord
ing to Murphy, before ten or twelve
shots were fred. Two shots struck
Cox, one entering his breast and the
other his forehead. Either shot, IT, is
said, would have been fatal
The wounded policeman fell to the
floor and Murphy arrested Nathaniel
Williams and Joe Price, coIored, who
are being held az witnesses. Carter
and Smith, 1t Is said, fed Immediately
after the shooting. An ambulance
was procured by Officer Murphy az

ing.
The calibre of the pistol used In the
shooting was .3S, Eight bullet holes

importation of Works of Art Gu
In Hair Over Last
Yeur

importation of luxuries into the
United states In the fiscal year 1918
shows a material faiiofY when com
pared with the preceding year. and a
marked decline when compared with
the year before the war. Just how
to state. because of the fact that
many of the articles usually classed
as luxuries< are stated only In figures
Of vaiae, and as prices OF these per
unit of quantity have advanced the
lower value figures do not adequately
represent the decline In quantities i'm
ported.
In practically all articles in which
quantities are stated the falloff In very
large, and in those measured only by
value figures there Is, in most cases,
a material reduction.
A compilation by the National City
Bank of New York shows that in
practically all the imports usually
classed as luxuries the 1913 figures
fall materially below those OF the pre-
ceding year, and are far less than
those OF the year before the war.
That they should be less than be-
fore the war il quite natural by reason
of the fact that many OF the articles
Of this character originated in the
European countries, some In the
countries with which we are now at
war, and some with our allies now too
busiIy employed to manufacture or
otherwise accumulate materials OF
this class for expectation.
The banks figures show remarkable
declines in. the 1913 imports Of prac-
ticaIly all articles classed ~ luxuriea.
In art work. for example. the value
of the imports of 1913 Ia but about
Sll 100000 against $23,o00.000 in
year 1914. all of which preceded the
war.
In automobiles the value in 1913
was but about $4,000 against nearly
100000 In 1919, and more than
100000 in 1912. while the average
value per machine imported in 1918
was less than one-half that before the
war. Decorated chinaware imported
in 1913 was but about S3.500.o00 in
value against practically $4,000. goo in
OF cotton laces imported in 1913
the value was but about 3Io,oo0.oOo
against s16.500.000 in 1917. and
nearly $4,000 900 in 1914. OF silk
laces the 1918 imports were valued
at but little more than one-half those
of 1914, OF cotton pushes and vel
vets the quantity imported in 1913
was less than 100000 yards against
more than 100000 in 1917. and
practically 100000 in 1914.
or ostrich feathers, In 1918 the i'm
ports were valued at nearly 100000
against nearly $4,000, 600 in 1914 and
over 100000 in 1919.
In precious stones the total for 1915
was but about $32,000,000 against
SAT 100000 In 1917 and $4,000 900 In
1918. while OF pearls alone the value
in 1918 was less than 100000
against over $4,000. 900 in 1917, and
more than 100000 in 1916.
In the articles of food usually
classed as luxuries when imported
there is also marked falloff. The
cheese imported in 1918 amounted tc
but about 100000 pounds against
] 1000, 600 In 1917, and $4,000. 900 in
1914. or currants the imports ol
1918 were over 5000. 900 pounds
against 25,o0e.ooo in 1918 and 81, 600.
600 in 1914, and Of dates only 5000
600 pounds in 1918 against "a. oo0, 200
