Two Young Bandits
Kill Under Sheriff
And Capture Posse
Ex-Soldiers Hold Up All
Passersby ON Dixie High
way From Sunset to Mid
night; One Shot, Other
Escapes

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Oct. 10
Barricading themselves at lonely
spot on the Dixie Highway, two youths
said to be James Oliver and COM
panion, Ed. Martin, both discharged
soldiers, held up at pistol point all
nassers-by from sunset until near mid
night last night, robbing travellers,
captured citizens who went out to ar
rest them, fatally shot Deputy Sheriff
w. B. Mcintosh and finally capitulated
only after Oliver had been wounded.
Realizing that his comrade was
slowly b beeding to death Martin or
dered the captive citizens to take
Oliver to Coitewah, SO that ne mlgn1 H
he attended by physician. After the
citizens had started Martin slipped
away in the darkness and throughout
the day posses have been securing the
hills for him.
When Oliver reached Coltewah in
dignant citizens took him from his
former victims, placed rope around
his neck and strung him to the limb
of tree. He at last broke down and
said that Martin was his accompllce
in the hold-ups.
After several automobilists had been
robbed early in the evening by the two
road agents" citizens armed them
selves and went to the scene, only to
be held up themselves. At one time
it is said that six men and one woman
we're huddled along the roadside cov-
cred by the pistol of one robber, while
the otner waited behind the barricade
for vehicles to bring fresh victims.
Deputy Sheriff Mcintosh was one OF
the ar.t to attempt the arrest of the
pair. The Sheriff's assistants held cap
tive said they were not permitted by
the two boys to go to his aid after he
had been shot and were forced to stand
by and sec him die.
Oliver tonight was being held in the
Ooltewah jail His wound is not be-
lieved to be serious.

Making Good Americans
Takes Time, Says Wise
Upholds Alien Press and AS
serts Some American Papers
Had FarRetter Re Silenced

Dr. Stephen S. Wise pleaded for
trust in the immigrant and the
American institutions yesterday in his
sermon in the Free Synagogue at
Carnegie Hall. Impatience at the re-
tention Of national characteristics bv
aliens was reasonless. he said, as it
took good national to make good
American.

teaching a doctrine," he said. at is
not coercion. 1t cannot be accom-
p'ished in one. two or three days. 1t
cannot be done on the Fourth of July,
not what we say but what we are.
This sounds stale and tritc, but it is
one of those stale things that arc
true.
"Amercanization is not rcgulariza-
tion, standardization, Republicaniza- a.

means lifting up while standardiza-

takes the best out of men,"
Restrictions on the foreign language
press, DR.. Wise thought would be un-
wise, as without their newspapers
aliens would get their news orally, and
the food of rumors would give ample
opportunity to sinister propagandists
while. at the same time, it would defy
supervision.
Instead of shutting up the foreign
press" he continued, ''it would be more
fitting to suppress some Of our Ameri-
can newspapers which have been breed

meetings primarily for the purpose OF
having our Chief Executive, now lying

with $50 of their comrades who had
seen service in France. They were
decorated with bronze medals for
valorous conduct by their commander.
Evangeline Booth, in the Lexington
Theatre, at the closing rally of the

Among the Salvation Army workers

IS. in Frarce and commander OF over
seas work; Lieutenants Irene end
Gladys Nc ntyre, both cited for bra
very under fire, and Commandant Jo-

Navajo Chief Matches
Dignity With Albert
Belgian King Is Presented With
blanket and Pins Medal
ON tsPete Price,

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ. Oct. 18.--
The pale-face chief of the Belgians
greeted grim -visaged, gray-haired,
swarthy chief Of the Navajos at Gallup
to-day. They shook hands gravely and
each showed his respect for the other.
The aged Indian bore himself with q
dignity equal to that of king. There
was no condescension in Albert's
manner and no humility in that of the
rcdskin.
When the royal special stopped
shortly after dawn at Gallup the band
f st. Michael's Indian school swung
into the strains of the national anthem
of Belgium and then into that Of the
United States.
A little band of braves, mounted on
mustangs, sat waiting and watching,
their faces expressionless, as the King,
Queen and prince descended from their
car. After one war dance His Majesty
expressed desire to meet some of the
Indians, and several Of them were pre-
scnted to him and his consort.
Then Chief Silagotio, tribal judge,
better known as pete Prince, stepped
forward with the gift Of the tribe-a
handsome Navajo blanket, which he
gravely handed to Albert, who in turn
pinned upon the old warriors breast
silver medals of his house.

being recorded during the week. In
the wool sheepskin market the small.
arrivals have been quickly bought up.
The scarcity Of high grade leather
has made the buying of the poorer
grades necessary, and dealers receiv-
ing considerable shipments of the
leather are having little difficulty in
disposing of this stock.
.Jewelry
With the Christmas holiday season
rapidly approaching, manufacturers of
jewelry find their factories completely
paralyzed by the continued strike
among their workers. Retailers, in
order to supply their customers de-
mands are finding it necessary to or
der from other jewelry centers. A,
present 1000 jewelry workers are on
strike, affecting every large manufact-
urer in New York
The demand for all assortments of
Jewelry continues greatly in excess of
the supply. A few shipments of pearls
and diamonds are reaching this coun-
try, but are soon lost in the enormous
demand. Prices of small or melee dia-
monds are slightly higher than last
week, although the larger stones re-
main unchanged. A large part of the
foreign demand for diamonds is at
tributed to the Germans and uscians,
who, it is said, are more willing to
have the precious gems in their posses
sion than the paper money that is now
being issued in those countries.
The arrival of 10000 gross of watch
crystals during the week from Alsace-
Lorraine was welcome one for watch
manufacturers. The demand for watches
in this country has been so great that
the available supply of crystals has
failed to meet the demand. Although
some watch glasses have been coming
from Japan, they have been inferior to
those manufactured in France and
watchmakers hesitated in using them
The cost of the crystals has decrease ed
from 10 to 20 per cent in the last few
months.
New-York tribune., 1919-10-20
WOOlens

According to mill agents the forth
coming spring production of wooden
goods is almost all sold upon the allot-
ment basis. Jobbers, who are the only
ones having any accumulation of win
ter goods on hand, report slight de-
mand for immediate use. Dullness in
the women's garment industries has
greatly curtailed the demand for cloth
i'll that field
1t was reported that production was
increasing more than some factors
would care to admit and that addi-
tional allotments of spring goods have
been made. Some jobbers insist that
foreign production of wooden and
worsted fabrics soon will reach point
where competition in the American
market will ensue, thus easing the sit
uation here.
So far mills have shown no disposi-
ton to shade prices on spring fabrics.
Medium and low grade woolens CON
tinue to lag in selling. The demand
continues centered on high grade
fabrics, principally fine worsted cloths.
New-York tribune., 1919-10-20
Furs

Following the auction sale of the
week before activities in all branches
of the fur trade last week reached a
low ebb. Colder weather is expected
to start a buying movement on the
part of the general public that gradual
ly will work back through the various
Intermediates to the raw skin mer
chants. Although transactions were
few, prices remained firm throughout
the week, showing that confidence is
being maintained The auctions here
combined with the forthcoming sales in
London the latter part of this month.
gave raw skin dealers an opportunity
to obtain advances or dispose of their
stocks without sacrificing them, if
ready cash was needed.
The express strike hampered manu-
featuring furriers in the delivery of
merchandise being produced on order.
Some jobbers with stock on hand
shipped quantities of merchandise to
customers without orders before the
strike materiaiized. They preferred
to take chance on having the goods
accepted rather than TO allow them to
lie in storerooms here. In most cases
the retailers willingly took the goods.
Retailers reported fair business
during the week despite warm weather.
Leather
Shortage of the better grades Of ali
kinds of leather continues to trouble
manufacturers. Consignments of goat
skins, sheepskins, calfskins and hides
are received regularly in the local
market. but not in sufficient quantities
to meet requirements. The general
market is strong and active, with tan
ners reported to be far behind on
deliveries.
With business increasing in gloves,
shoes. travelling bags. pocketbooks.
etc, manufacturers find it hard to fiji
orders. This is owing partly to the
shortage of high grade leather and
partly to the scarcity of skilled work
men. In addition to the heavy domes-
tic demand, buyers from all tho large
countries are visiting the MAJ ket and
clamoring for goods. AS these buyers
are willing to pay almost any prices
many manufacturers are refusing do
nestle orders and devoting their time
to the filling of foreign demands. An
other advantage In selling goods for
export Is that the foreign buyers are
not as particular as the AmericanAcus
toners and for that reason tho fac
tories cnn turn out the work more
