teenth and \Nectarine streets shortly
after 2 o'clock yesterday morning.
According to the story of their victim,
Thompson and Daniel Douglas, Ninth
and Race streets, approached and asked
for match. When Mr.. Duran put
his hand in his pocket to comply with
the request one of them said:
"You migkt as well give us your
money at the same time"
Then one of the highwaymen drew a
revolver and had covered him when Pa =
trolman Miller came round the corner.
Seeing him, the men started running
down Nectarine street and the police :
mun called to them to halt. When they
refused he fred once to frighten them
This had no effect and he opened fu =
sillade, with the result that Thompson
was shot four times in the body. He is
at the Hahnemann Hospital, where he is
not expected to live.
Douglas gave up the fight and sur
rendered.

1.-The eighteenth amendment is the

forced. We must elect men who have
respect for the eighteenth amendment
and fidelity to the oath to carry it out. y
This is the gist of sermon by the

intendent of the Anti Saloon League,
who spoke last night in the Third Bap-
tist Church, Germantown.
"In the lull between July 1 and Jan :
uary l, liquor men tell us, the law will
not be enforced,''' said the Rev. Tope.
1.-THE nature Of the corrupt politician
has not been changed. Hence we must
remember that the work is but begun
that eternal vigilance is the price OF
liberty. l do not believe that the law

ment has been against local option
