Further Light Is Shed On Robberies
Which Occurred Friday Night
At Carthage and For Which
Police Seek Men.

! Further light is shed on the rob
berries which occurred Friday night
at Carthage and for which the local
police are asked to look out for the
lperpetrators in the following from
Carthage: ;.
Two bold robberies were commit
ted at Carthage Friday night when
the Emerick-Owsley Clothing Com
pany store and jewelry store of l..
w. Berry were burglarized. No
clues to the law breakers have been
found.
Both stores are located on the
west side of the square and are
quite near each other. They are
among the largest business houses
In the city. Clothing to the value OF
$500 was taken from the limerick
Owsley building and Mr.. Berry has
not been able to estimate his loss
but it is known to be quite large.
The burglars effected on entrance
to the clothing store by taking out
pane Of glass from q rear door ana
operating the lock from the inside.
The merchandise taken consisted OF
silk stockings, neck ties, clothing
and two large leather bags.
The loss was discovered when the
stores were opened this morning.
Sheriff J. Norton Bennett Is making
evey effort to locate the robbers.

POSTS
ASK SENATORS
All Branches Of the American Legion
Have Been Requested to Write
to Their Congressman to
Support Sweet Bill.

In a statement issued today to all
local posts and state branches OF
the American Legion by Henry d.
Lindsey, chairman of the national
executive committee, each state
branch and local post is requested to
write to its United States senators
urging that the Sweet bill, amending
the war risk insurance act now In
the senate committee on finance, be
amended so that term insurance as
well as converted insurance may be
paid in lump sums, and that the bill
be passed Immediately. 1t has al
ready been passed by the house.
The Sweet bill provides that the
payment of converted insurance, at
the election Of the insured, shall be
in one lump sum or in thirty-six or
moro instaIlments. No provision,
however, is made for the lump sum
payment of term insurance which
would enable a man who cannot now
afford to convert his insurance to
have the same advantages of lump
sum payment as the man who Is able
to convert his insurance Immediately.
This change has been advocated by
ex-service men for many months, and
It was proposed in resolutions adopt
ed by the st. Louis caucus Of the
American Legion.
All four other amendments to the
wark risk insurance act contem-
plated in the Sweet bill have been
proposed and advocated by the Amer
lean Legion through its national
legislative committee in washington.

such good things in store for local

Keith vawter, the mon who founded
the circuit chautauqua system twenty
years ago, is turning his big business
organization to the dramatic field, and
is making 1t possible for the smaller
town to see and hear the really good
New York dramas with genuine Broad
way players, in much the same way
as he has been bringing Americas
best attractions to the middle west on
the chautauqua platform. Mr.. Vawter
has highly specialized form Of bust
ness efficiency that enables him to do
this. His principles include, elimina-
tion of wasteful mileage expenses,
elimination Of open dates, application
Of up-todate advertising principles,
securing local cooperation to suffi-
cient extent to insure good attend
ance, dealing in the open and telling
exactly the truth.
The plan provides that these plays
will come in course of four, a spen-
did comedy-drama with a deep plot,
play Of great heart interest, a mystery
play, and beautiful opera, at monthly
intervals during the winter. A small
number Of season tickets are required
to be Sold SO priced that the holder
can see each performance for a sum
less than one-fourth the original price
asked In New York And this plan Is
not so much for the financial guaran-
tee alone, but because experience has
proved that to be the only way to
secure local cooperation and that COM
munity Of interest that is necessary to
make O. big thing successful. Those
who buy season tickets may reserve
without additional cost Except war
taxi the first choice of seats in the
theater. The plan also provides that
those who do not succeed in obtain
ing any Of these comparatively small
blocks of season tickets will of neces-
sity pay a greater price for single ad.

IN NEWFOUNDLAND

st. Johns, N N. May 2.-The United

in the contest for trans Atlantic flight
honors when the mine layer Aroostook,
flying the Stars and Stripes dropped
anchor in British waters at Trepassey
bay. She has aboard the crew of the
naval air station that will be main

boats.
The arrival of the Aroostook with
the hint it brought of the early arr
rival of American naval seaplanes for
their start on trans Atlantic flight
caused noticeable concern to Harry
Ifawker and Captain Rynllam, Brit
ish aviators. who have been here near
~ month waiting favorable weather
for the trip in their land planes.
Rynham said he was sure neither he
nor Hawker would decline the issue
if the Americans set out. whether
or fair.

new RECORD IS
ESTABLISHED IN
COURT DISPATCH
Forty-two Cases Called At
Tallahassee Term And in
Every Instance Plea of
Guilty Was Entered.

A remarkable new record in court
dispatch was established at Talla-
hassee this week, according to u S,
district court officials who returned
to the city yesterday from the capital
city after having completed the busi-
ness for the regular annual term of
the court there, which was postponed
from the second Monday in January
on account of flu prevalent at the
time. The docket was cleared up in
less than three days.
The record made. which was the
most unusual of Judge VIM. B. Shep-
pard's entire experience of eleven years
as judge and four years as district at
torney for the court. was that in every
one of AZ cases called on the docket
plea of guilty was entered.
In one case, that OF Green Fisher,
charged with having violated the game
laws in that he killed Hcoot" other
wise known as blue peak and stF'ulica
Americana" as described in the bill
of indictment, the defendant at first
announced not guilty, as Assistant
District Attorney Geo. Earl Hoffman
completed the reading of the bill to
the court. However, the man admitted
having been caught with the coot,"
which he had killed, and declared his
willingness to enter a plea of guilty
accordingly, which was accepted by
the court
There was considerable speculation
among the attending lawyers as to
whether the remarkable record estab-
lished for the term was due to the
tematized force of prosecution, or
people of that section of the state
how much it hurts.
A large number of cases in which
pleas of guilty were entered were for
violation of the game laws with refer
ence to the shooting of the 'scoots''
and other migratory birds, while there
