BURGLARY
OF DIXIE
NEAT JOB
Yeggs Enter from Roof; Get
Away With $500 Worth of
Goods; Select High Glass
Merchandise.

Talk about porch climbers. They're
nothing, The bird or birds, who
robbed the Dixie store last night of
an estimated $500 worth of merchan-
disc were veritable Human Flies"
and the work was what might be call.
ed, in yegg parlance, a meat job"
No rough stuff like heaying a
brick through glass door, then
reaching through and unlocking same
for them. They scaled a bdilding
near the Dixie, walker over couple
of roofs, passed through a trap door
in the Dixie roof to the space be-
tween the roof and the ceiling, then
proceeded to kick a section of the
metal ceiling loose and descend di-
rectly on the cashief's desk in the
third deck of the store.
They were rather choice In their
selections, also. They took at least
three suits valued at around $45
each, all blue serges, and sizes 81
and 3S, Ten silk shirts were missing
this morning, sizes 141a and 10. In
the ladies' ready-to-wear department,
the burgs helped themselves to silk
skirts and petticoats galore. How
much merchandise was taken from
this department is not known this
morning At least ten silk shirts
valued at $2J to $35 each, were miss
ed this morning and probably as
many petticoats. A suit case and
a hand bag were also taken.
At the cashiers desk on the third
deck, every drawer was rifled.
About $27 in cash was the loot
there. On the main floor about $40
in change was taken. Nothing was
overlooked, and nothing was left out
of order The stock was apparently
there being no disor-
dered pile of merchandise that had
been indiscriminately paved through
to tell of the burglary.
These yeggs were superstitlous.
Some days ago ladies' pocketbook
was found in the ladies' ready-to-
wear department of the store 1t
contained 13 cents, consisting of
dime and three pennies. This peck
etbook was kept in a box on The
cashiers desk, thinking that the
owner would at some time return
for it, This morning the dime was
gone, but the three pennies rcmain-
ed, the burg side-stepping the bad
omen of taking the entire 19 cents.
Evidently the burgs left the build
ing by their entrance route. The
doors of the store were securely
locked this morning, the trap door
to the roof was carefully in place
and only the section of the metal
ceiling hanging down gave outward
evidence that there had been any
thing unusual going on in the store
last night
The sheriff's force and police are
working on the case and have wired
peace officers in adjoining towns
and cities to be on the watch for
the burgs.

Fraternal Orders to Honor Me
mory of Departed Brothers
Ceremonies on Sunday.
MARCH TO CEMETERY;
GIVE SHORT PROGRAM
Public Invited to Attend; Band
to Give Sacred Concert While
People Decorate Graves.

Decoration Day, which has hereto
fore been observed on May 30th, will
be observed in Chickasha on Sunday,
May 25th, according to d decision
reached by the committees appoint
ed from the various lodges and or
ganizations of the city.
Following is the commiitoe On ar
rangements, appointed at a meeting
Of the various lodge committees: w.
N. Elliott, A. o. u. W. chairman; I;
B. B. Benson, W. O. "; Earl
Spreisterbangh, |. o. o. f. IS; c. c.
Goetting, X. p; j. w. Conner, Elks,
and Chas. Day, musicians
Chairman Elliott stated this after
noon that the Boy Scouts the Ma
tional Guards and local unions had
been asked to join the procession
which will form at the corner OF
Third street and Chickasha avenue
at 2o'clock and will march to the
cemetery Roy Cason, mounted, will
lead the parade and will act as mar
shal of the day.
Although no ceremonies for the
boys who made the supreme sacrifice
with Pershing's army in France
will be held at this occasion, Mr. FL
lott says, ceremonies will be held
over the grave of some Grady coun-
ty soldier who died in uniform and
who is buried in the local cemetery
In this way, the plan is, the memory
of all Grady county soldiers who
have been killed in action or who
have died in camp, will be honored.
The committee points out that it
will be impossible, for lack of time,
to decorate and hold services over
all the graves. Of departed brothers
Therefore each lodge has selected
the grave of one member over which
ceremonies will be held in honor Of
all the departed members of that
lodge
A number Of the lodges will par
ticipate in the services. 1t is the
plan to meet at the corner of Third
street and Chickasha avenue and
march to the cemetery. Arrived at
the cemetery, the line Of march will
continue from cne selected grave to
another and at each, representa-
tive from the lodge on whose roster
the name of the dead appeared will
speak a few words, honoring all de
parted brothers from that particular
lodge
Stress is laid upon the fact that
the ceremonies are not restricted
entirely to fraternal orders. Every
one is invited to participate IN the
program. All those who do not de-
sire to march from town to the cem-
etefy, may go in cars and be there
when the procession arrives.
After the fraternal ceremonies arc
concluded the Chickasha band, which
will head the procession from town,
will render sacred concert, and
while it is in progress, relatives and
friends will pass among the graves
and decorate the last resting places
of their loved ones.

SECRET TREATIES MADE
INVALID BY ACCEPT TANCE
OF WILSON'S "a POINTS
II. A. Morgan May
Be- President Of
State UiDersity

Maury county frineds will join
heartily in what seems to be general
demand for the election of II. A. Nor
gan as president of the University OF
Tennessee to succeed the late DR..
Brown Ayres. The following favor
able comment on the possibility of DR..
Morgan's election appeared in the leg
islative notes of the Nashville Banner:
That DR.. Fl. A. Morgan, dean of the
college of agriculture, will be elected
president of the University of Tennes-
see to succeed the late DR.. Brown
Ayres, who died Tuesday, would ap.
pear certain, if one is to judge by the
expressions heard in the ,halls of the
legislature and the lobbes of the ho-
tells. In fact, no other name has thus
Tar been mentioned in connection with
the office. More than one member Of
the board of trustees of the univer.
sity who chanced to be in Nashville
Tuesday declared that Morgan was
the logical successor of DR.. Ayres.
Several members of the legislature
who are former students of the uni
versity declare in effect that Dr. Nor
gan would be the choice of nine-tenths
of the former students of the univer-
sity.
DR.. Morgan is so years of age, and
has been with the university as dean
of the college of agriculture and d.
rector of the experiment stations for
fourteen years. He came here from
the University of Louisiana. Since his
connection with the university the
students of the agricultural college
have increased 400 per cent and the
acreage of the experiment stations has
Increased from 200 acres to more than
1,700 acres. When Dr. Morgan came
to the university it had one expert
ment station at Knoxville of 200 acres
That property has been increased to
more than 900 acres. 1t has also sec
ured station of 250 acres at Jackson
and station of $50 acres at Colum-
bia. Probably among the farmers of
Tennessee Dr. Morgan is the most
popular man in the state. He has
repeatedly visited every county and
his personal acquaintance is probably
larger than that of any other man in
Tennessee. He is equally as popular
with the business men of the cities
and towns.
Dr. Morgan has just completed sew
enteen months of exacting duties as
Federal food administrator of the
state and has made for that organiza-
tion most enviable record.
