local authorities are busy at work
on the case.
The thieves, it appears, made a
clean getaway and failed to leave
any traces of themselves around
the premises. That they were ia
miliar with the location of the
building and that they knew where
the liquor was kept is apparent
from the fact that nothing else in
the place was disturbed.
The commodity was in cases with
a government seal over each case,
all of the bottles being bonded

quart size, according to the infor-
nation furnished today and in or

thought the thieves will resort to
the tapping of the bottles.
Detective Tom Cox is of the opin-
ion that no attempt to dispose of
the stolen goods in the tri-c.ties

 Just as church services were being started in the various churches of the city yesterday morning Messrs. Terry and Tarbell were returning in their plane from Nashville. They were circling the city at height of about a thousand feed, and when above a and Hervey street made a loop. The machine apparently was lost control of and started toward the earth side wise and the nose pointing downward The aviators could be plainly seen by awestricken watchers trying to right the machine. The pilot seemed to be having slight success, but could not get the car strengthened out complet- ely The plane was headed toward the east and was falling rapidly. By the time it was over the Methodist church at Second and Pine it was low enough to strike the top branches of a large oak tree standing on the side walk. barely missing the roof of the church. The contact of the tree help ed to right the plane. and striking q guy rope to an electric light pole il slid to the ground, settling in the street in an upright position, clearing the sidwalk, missing a number of au- tomobiles parked nearby and even leaving room in the street so not tC Obstruct traffic.
 The landing was nothing less thar miracle. Had the machine and its heavy engine struck the church rool sauarely it is thought the loss of life would have been serious. As it was no one was hurt in the accident, ever the aviators escaping serious injury one of them receiving a scratch on the nose as a result of coming in contact with an upright piece of the machine The injury to the machine was con siderable The propeller was broker off. the wings were bent and smashed and the landing gear was broken.

 HOT SPRINGS RACES
Circuit Judge Practically Orders That The Sport Be Abandoned: No
 Resistance Planned.

Hot Springs, Sept 13-Followine the receipt ot a lengthy letter from Circuit Judge Scott Wood. addressed to the Business Mems League in which he voiced his opposition to fur, ther race meetings being held in this city, the Board of Governors of the Business Mems League this afternoon briefly answered the communication with assurance that no race meetings would be held in the spring of 1920
 The action was surprise as racing is seldom discussed here until shortly before the meetings, and heretofore but little opposition has been offered The Business Mems League, the only commercial oraanzation of the city, has fostered racing as an adjunct to the patronage of the resort and the three meetings held in the past were under the auspicies of the organization
 The communication from Judge Wood was very lengthy II reviewed the situation here for the last three years and offered many arguments as to why racing should not be attempted here. II chased with this statement:
 The premises considered there fore request that you declare that you will henceforth promote no unlawful enterprise and that you will use your influence to suppress gambling Of all kinds. and that you will make Hot Springs the cleanest resort town in the world If you feel that you should not do this, then I ask that you let the people know al once whether you intend to promote meeting tor the coming spring
