Gocio Regains Property.
Mr. and Mrs. Gocio last night iden-
titled the property found as having
been part of their stock in the store
at Grady, and later carried it back
with them. Mr.. and Mrs. Gocio
happened to be in the city last night,
and their surprise, as we'll as gratifi-
cation was indeed great when they
were told by Deputy Sheriff McBur-
nett that their stolen property had
been recovered.
The arrest and recovery of the two
negroes is feather in the cap of the
shcriff's office, for only by the eff
fective covering of the territory in
this section by Sheriff Nichol, with
the quick work of his deputies, pre-
vented the property now being in
the hands of the 'fence" in Little

ANARCHISTS MAY
GET HINT FROM
THIS SHOWING
N. Y. Guardsmen Stage Test
Modification, and Outpost
Work.

New York, June 19.-Ten regi-
ments of the New York State Guard
demonstrated tonight, what they
could do by way of protecting the
city IN an emergency when they
answered test mobilization call and
quickly threw cordons of armed
guards about public buildings, power
houses, car barns, publicutilities and
the homes of prominent citizens.
Automobile trucks, filled with arm
ca men dashed from armories to
bridges, power houses and other spots
theoretically held to be in danger and
the guardsmen carried out the prac-
tlce drill so grimly that in many
quarters it was believed they were to
remain on guard duty to protest the
city from "red" outbreaks.
This belief was heightened by the
secrecy thrown about the proceedings.
Colonel Hays of the Seventh infantry
announced that two battalions of his
men had been sent out ito guard
pubic property" and the orders,
~nicn. were secret, specified no date
ior their return. The realism given
the drill was strengthened by the
TACT that ammunition was issued to
the men. Newspapermen were bar
red from all armories. Adiutant-
General Berry supervised the maneu-
YER Out ne could not be reached to
maze statement concerning it.
7ooue 1o'oO0 men were modified.

from his government, and led the es-
pionage and propaganda movements
till his death in November, 1917"
The report Of the British commits

BEST THEATRE.

The big rodeo that takes place in
Montana each year forms the setting
for one of the scenes in the new Will
liam S. Heart play, "The Money Cor
ral," at the Best theatre today and
tomorrow. At this rodeo each year
come the gathering of the clans-the
wild riders, the crack shots, ropers,
broncho busters, Indians, punchers,
and others in a revival of the good old
day. AS the story runs, Hart upon
asking for leave to go to the meet
is forbidden leave by his employer,
but undaunted goes anyway. Here
he is seen by George Collins, rail
road president, who offers him posi-
ton as night Waterman at his bank
in Chicago, when he sees him shoot
the date line from a dime in the air
Because of this feat Hart is offered
a positions as night Waterman in
the bank of railroad president in
Chicago, where after many thrilling
adventures and after several combats
that an Irshman would call "gr-r-
rand fight" Hart causes the undoing
of the thieves who had long been
steeling from his employer.

ity of three on the committee and
Senator Williams, democrat of Mis-
sissippi challenged any republican
senator to deny chat the committee

The challenge started clash SO
heated that Vice-President Marshall

democratic president"
Senator Mccormick, republican,
Illinois, declared it might also be
said that "the peace commission to
Paris was stacked with democrats
ready to bow to the will of the chief
executive
Senator Williams replied that the
Paris conference at least had done it's
work while the republican senators
through the Knox resolution were
asking for time to think when, if
you had any capacity to think at all,
you'd have thought long ago.
Senator Thomas said he was bound
to accept Mr.. Knox's disclaimer of
craftsmanship. adding:
But | insist that action of his
colleagues speak louder than protests
made here and indicate a partisan

HAUBER THEATRE.

A powerful and gripping dramatic
scent in "Moredn Husband" Henry
B. Walthall's most recent drama
showing at the Hauber theatre today,
is produced by special vision effect

Street broked who has become es-
tangled from his wife on account of
the intrigue of a male "love-pirate'
his fortune swept awey by a sudden
drop in the market-had determined
before him is a loaded pistol. Grasp
ing the weapon, he sits with tense
muscles and strained nerves.
Then the photograph slides into a
hazy effect, as if a smoke-screen had
come before him and the camera.
Rising from his chair, he presses the
weapon against his breast and puss
the arigger, topping to the floor in a
crumpled heap. His wife rushes into
the room and kneels beside his body,
He hears her sobbing out -"Oh.
Steve! Steve! Why did you, do it?
Only a coward would take his own
life!"
Then the photography becomes
clear, and Duane is seen still sitting
in his chair. There is knock at
the door, and the scrub-woman enters,
staring in fright at the sight of the
wild-eyed man with pistol in his
hand.
Then on the observer it dawns for
the first time that it was mental
vision of Duane killing himself.
The effect is elecerifying and star
ties by is vividness and gruesome
realism.
