 The confessions were taken to ex- plain the rapidty with which armed blacks were assembled at Hoop Spur an dthe neighboring towns of Elaine following the incident. The state ments added that at the time Adkins was killed there were 150 armed ne- groes n the church at the scene of the shooting. Some of these were women, if was said, carrying auto- matic revolvers in their stockings.

 Much of the investigation is known to be directed in an effort to estab- fish conclusively connection of white men with the agitation, and there is said to be strong indications of such relatio.

Pershing Put One
 Over on the Huns

After the third day of the home ward voyage of the Leviathan, Gen eral Pershing was himself once more, says a writer in the New York Her aid. Instead of a few glimpses we had of him when taking his morning walk, we again had the pleasure of seeing him in the Ritz restaurant, always surrounded by guests. He in- vited the Italian naval officer, Lieu tenant Bartolucci, who is on his way to Washington, to be his guest at lunch one day. At dinner he enter tained the various officers of the Composite Regiment. He entertain ed the eight newspaper correspon- dents at luncheon and seemed in bet ter spirits than at any time during the trip.
 War stories were recalled and with Gen. Fox Conner to add the de- tails one of the most interesting in- cidents of the war was told by Gen eral Pershing himself, and this is what he said:
 "The story of the fake headpuar- ters at Belfourt has leaked out from various sources and has been men, tioned in Congress, but this is the first time 1 have told it as a story. You can remember that the St. Mi hiel drive, which took place just a year ago, was talked of for weeks be- fore it happened. Much to our re- gret the exact date was on the lips of all ill France and the French Press came out boldly and spoke af the American preparation for the attack on the St. Mihiel pocket. The Ger mans were showing some activity in moving out and we began to fear that they mikht get away from us before we could launch our carefully plan ned offensive.
 Something ha dto be done, and done quickly. My headquarters were located at Ferte-Sous-Jouarre, and all of France and the Germans, too, knew it. 1 called General Connor, then chief of operations, and reveal ed to him my secret scheme of estab- fishing secret headquarters at Bel fort, to draw the Germans away from the St. Mihiel sector. 1 ordered a major general to go at once with his staff and establish headquarters at Belfort, as we were contemplating an attack in Alsace He went and his officers made all arrangements, renting building and carrying all the personnel and supplies that the re- moval of headquarters demanded.

authorities have announced tba+ they are still seeking Robert L. Hill of Winchester, represented on the union ilterature variously as 'gov- ernment agent, employed in the United States service," and 'United States and foreign detective" An other alleged leader said to be at large was Ed Ware, whom negroes declared to have been their Nsec- retary." V. E. Powell, ''council- Tor" of the union, was brought to Helena last night from Arkansas City and jailed.
 While the citizens committee and the military authorities continue their investigations in meetings here and at Elaine, where the lat ter have headquarters, patrols of troops are maintaining a continu- ous search of localities thought to be hiding places of negro bands. Especial attention is being given, 1t is announced, to the canbrake regions neighborng Old Town and Modocn Fallen cane, dense vines and undergrowth add to the difficulties of the dragnet process, veterans of
  tme Meuse-Argonne campaign in the war asserting the Mississippi low lands are more inaccessible even than the Argonne forest.
 Examing trials of the negroes are scheduled to begin tomorrow before Judge J. c. Burke and the first session of the grand jury is set for next Monday.
 The authorities stated today that Frank Hicks, a negro taken near Elaine several days ago, is charged with the murder of Clin- ton Lee of this city, who was killed in the fighting Wednesday morning. In a confession today, the officials said, Hicks stated he was unloading cotton at gin when a Paul Revere" summoned him to battle.

DISPLAY FANTASTIC ARRAYS
 OF DRESSING GOWNS

London, Oct. 10.-Shops in Jer- myn and Bond Streets, which cater to the ultra fashionable mems trade, are displaying fantastic arrays of dressing gowns-gowns whose terms baffle description. Demand for these garments is declared to be unprecedented in former seasons. They are being offered in the most flimsy of gossamer fabrics or more substantial, but quite as highly col ored, washable siIks-at prices that vary from $10 to $35.
 One writer, commenting on the vo- que of these garments, declares "the bathrooom parade at fashionable ho- tels is going to be worth the enter tainment tax"'

DAYLIGHT SAVING PLAN
 ENDS OCTOBER 26

Plans for the resumption of busi- ness general under the old or sun time schedule are being made every where, as only four weeks>remain be- fore the clocks will be turned back one hour and the daylight saving plan will have passed into oblivion
 Railroad schedules and all other schedules that are effected by the return to the old time have been mapped out and on October 26, the date when the nation will revert to the old time, very little difference will be noticeable with the exception that business on the 27th of October will begin just one hour later than at present by the sun, although the clocks will note the same hour.
 All that is necessary to get back to normal is to turn the family clock back one hour upon retiring and for get it. With that act those persons to the daylight saving plan hope that it will be banished forever.
 On August 20 Congress passed the bill repeating the law that made the daylight saving plan effective. It was passed after President Wilson had vetoed the agricultural bill with a section repeating the law.
