Warming to employers to give strict
obedience to the state law establish
ing an eight day for women
was issued officially today by May
or George Watkins following the
registering of complaints that the
law was being violated.
Feeling certain that these alleged
violations are due to carelessness
rather than to a deliberate inten-
tion to violate the law and to drive
the employee, the mayor issued the
warning, hoping that it would be eff
fectual in stopping the practice; The
warning notice follows:
"Owing to the fact that complaints
have been made charging, that the
eight-hour law for women is being
violated by various firms ip Ell Cen
tro, and feeling sure that the viola
ton is due rather to carelessness on

WHOLE NATION
PAYS TRIBUTE
TO ROOSEVELT

Kansas City, Feb. 10.-"He did
more than any other president to
make the world realize what the
United States stands for and what a
Republican form of government
means," declared Major General
Leonard Wood, in an address at the
memorial services in honor of Colo
ne Theodore Roosevelt here yester-
day afternoon.
General Wood declared that Col
onel Roosevelt's "broad vision, wide
knowledge of world affairs and
sound Judgment were never more
needed than today
at was impossible for him to be
neutral in the face of wrong. He
believed in a free press and free
specch and understood that de-
mocracv repressing criticism, smoth-
ering the press and hampering pub.
licity, is a democracy in danger, it
not a democracy dying.
"Along the fighting line in France
and Flanders, there were more in
ouiries concerning Colonel Roose-
velt's opinion and probable line OF
action than concerning all other
Americans combined"
General Wood declared the soldier
statesman realized that leagues OF
nations could only he enduring When
they are based upon community OF
interest and of areas, "and, above an,
community of morals and ideals. lie
never believed nor for moment toll
Grated the idea that we should en-
ter into any league which would de-
prive us of the right of free action
within our own sphere of influence
or put us in a position of unprepar-
edness to do what we believed to be
right, or in a condition which would
render us unable to defend our in
ter"~ts in case of need.
"He believed in avoiding entan-
Cling alliances, but realized that
America must play her part when
civilization and the rights of man
kind were in danger. In Theodore
Roosevelt's opinion, no man who re-
fuses service to the limit of his abil'
ity, whether in war or in peace, is
fit to be citizen.
."Theodore Roosevelt was the most
inspiring and the most dominant fig
I'VE in American life since Abraham
Lincoln.
"We must pick up the torch where
he dropped it and carry it on. This
is vital to our country and to man
kind" ..'.

ARREST.NEGR0
As SUSPECT
| n n | | 4 n D.
MURDER CASE.

Arrested on a minor charge as a
means of holding him for his pos
sible connection with high crime
recently committed in this county,
a negro giving the name of Roy
Price furnished the officers at the
county Jail today with varied sensa-
tions.
Price is now known as the "walk-
ing bank" following the finding in
various places of concealment about
his clothing of more than $1,000 in
currency, a small diamond and a
gold watch. Previous to his arrest
Price had parted with $500 in Yuma
in settling up charge of bootleg
ging.
Although the sheriff's office de-
clined to discuss the cause of Prices
extradition from Arizona, it was un-
derstood that he was being held for
investigation of the murder on the
morning of Friday, January 81, OF
Henry Butler, a 17-year old boy
from Van Buren, Ark.
The feature of the negro's ar
rival in the county bastile was the
uncovering of his hidden wealth. He
voluntarily surrendered a little over
$500, which remained from the bank
roll he had displayed across the state
line.
He had been warned by Deputy
Sheriff Dave Matlock that he would
be closely searched and be given no
opportunity to smuggle money INTO mt
his cell. So he divulged Sl0O IN bills
wrapped around his left leg, plus S2O
he had tucked away in his vest pock-
ct.
When he was compelled to disrobe
to transfer from street to the rough
iail clothing he looked longlngly at
his shirt, as it was taken away from
him. In the pocket of the SHIRT they
found small diamond. Then, at a
moment when he was about to be
| nassed as Cleaned" of worldly
wealth, the prisoners other sock was
investigated by the willy deputy, who
found another 500 slowed away.
He declined to tell the officers the
story of his accumulation OF wealtf
and, in fact, maintained surly ano
happy-go-lucky attitude. Price de-
clared he had succeeded in smuggling
$3.50 into the Jail at Yuma.
He was originally arrested IN the
Arizona city for bootlegging anc

All down through the Christian
