MIAMI HEARD
SHE HAD SHOE
pRoF|TEER
Government Officials Deny Wild Ru.
NOR That Miami Shoe Merchant
Had Been Arrested BY
Secret Service Men

oeCTet service Men
Miami's merchants may be profit
eers, although no one has yet been
able to prove it, and not so terribly
many accusations have been made,
but $9 profit on pair of SIS shoes is
too good to be true, in the opinion of
John Sewell, local shoe merchant
about whom there was considerable
whispering on the street this morning
as result of a wild rumor to the
effect that he had been arrested by a
secret service man on a charge of
making excess profits.
According to the tale, this secret
service individual went into Mr.. Sc.
wells store in quest of pair of new
kicks" and received the distin-
guished honor of being waited upon
by the big boss" himself. The shoes
were fit, and the style suited the
employe of your Uncle Samuel to a
"t", but when he asked the price
Oh boy!-Fifteen bucks.
"Let me see your invoice on the or
der for these shoes, the sleuth is re-
ported to have said, but Mr.. Sewell,
according to the story, refused to do
this, not wishing to let this imperti-
nent individual find out all about his
"scadalous" profits.
At that the visitor is supposed to
have become raving mad, and what
should he do but proudly throw open
his coat, thereby displaying a beau
tiful badge of gold, upon which were
engraved the letters, "U. 81. ee
Consider yourself under arrest,
Mr.. Sewell. You are profiteering on
these shoes to the extent Of nearly
SO; the actual cost being $5.65" said
this customer Of authority, and Mr..
Sewell is supposed to have submit
ted meekly to arrest, with visions Of
ruin floating before his fearful eyes.
But No Truth In Story
But the funny thing about the story
is that no, federal authorities remem-
ber making the arrest, Commissioner
John Graham declaring that Uncle
Samuel never goes off half-cocked"
in such matter, and is always care
full to go through the regular process
of swearing out papers to be served
by the U. s. marshal. No such pro-
cess was taken, according to the
commissioner, and no arrest have
bee made, nor information filed con.
cerning profiteering on Mr.. Sewell's
part.
And funnier still, Mr.. Sewell him
self doesn't remember the incident,
although it was supposed to have
happened only yesterday.
The shoe merchant declared that
he had heard the same tale about a
shoe dealer in Mobile. "The two
stories coincide exactly said Mr..

Drowned and hardened veterans of his

First division of the American Expe-

A terrible tragedy had come into
Pershing's life during his Mexican

his wife and three of their little chill

their home at the Preside, in San

lief from his private grief in public
service. 1t was said of him in France
that he was never tired; he could be
called upon any hour out of the twen
ty-four for consultation or direction
without complaint on his part in con-
mtrast with some of his faous COL
leagues in the Entente armies.
Pershing believed in teamwork: he
knw that whatever success the Ger
mans had attained was through their
unified command of the armies of the
Central Powers. So he was not only
willing but anxious to see the same
principle adopted by the Entente arm
les. He sank his private ambitions
and freely rendered the services of the
last Amrican soldier and all his armv
equipment to General Foch at the
most critical point in the campaign
There is said to be no doubt that his
example affected the other commands

 Dempsey boxed three fast rounds with Jock Malone and Sergeant Bill Tate, while Willard travelled only six rounds intsead, Of the usual eight The champion boxed three rounds with Jack Hempel and three with Walter Monahan.
 The Jamaica Kid, of Dempsey's sParring staff, refused to box with the challenger because he said his jaw and stomach were sore from the punishment of previous days.
