VAULT OF LUMPKIN
BANK WAS LOOTED
SAFE BLOWERS ESCAPE WITH
LIBERTY BONDS, NEGOTIABLE
PAPERS AND JEWELRY.

No clue has been found to the
safe blowers who wrecked the vault
of the Bank of Lumpkin and escaped
with liberty bonds, negotiable paper,
jewelry and other valuables. Be-
cause most of the loot was stored
in safety deposit vaults by patrons
of the bank it will be some time
before the total amount stolen will
be known.
. The combination lock on the outer
and inner doors of the vault were
blown off. The bank safe within the
vault, where most of the money and
papers belonging to the bank were
stored, was not molested. All safety
deposit boxes, many of them of
flimsy tin construction, were rifled
Many of Bonds Are Registered.
The yeggmen got very little mon
ey, something like $3.50 or 5000,
from the bank and out of safety
boxes belonging to other parties. 1t
is understood that many of the bonds
secured by them are registered and
will be non-negotiable.
Officers and bank officials who ex-
amined the wrecked vault said that
the work was undoubtedly that of
professional burglars. Nitro-glycer-
inc is believed to have. been the ex-
plosive used. The outer door of the
vault was entered after the combl-
nation lock had been blown off by
the burglars. The inner door was
also disposed of with explosives. The
bank safe within the vault where
most of the money and securities be-
longing to the bank were stored was
the deposit boxes, most of them Of
tin construction, that had been stor-
ed in the bank vault by patrons
were opened and their contents rifled
before the burglars left the build
ing.
There is great excitement as re-
suit of the robbery.

VILLA HAS BECOME
PEACEFUL FARMER
FORMER BANDIT SHOCKS GOV
EMINENT WITH ORDER FOR
TOOLS. COST THOUSANDS.

When the Mexican government
pomised Francisco Villa, the erst-
while bandit-revolutionist, that it
would set him up in the farming
business as one of the provisions of
his recent surrender it bound itself
to a bigger proposition than it prob
ably thought at the time. The item
lied requisition for farm machinery
and equipment which Villa has just
placed with the government would
indicate that he plans a wholesale
conquest of the soil.
However much the big order may
have shocked the government Off
Gals in the city of Mexico it met
with the prompt approval of Presi-
dent De la Huerta, and it was i'm
mediately dispatched to Louis de
Oca, Mexican consul at Ell Paso, Tex,
with instructions that every item in
it be filled and shipment made as
quickly as possible to Villa at. Can
utilla, state of Durango, where the
land that was granted him by the
government is situated.
What Villa Wanted.
Among the machinery and equip
ment ordered by Villa are 800 doub-
le-row cultivators, 200 breaking
plows, harness for 1900 mules, two
modern threshing machines, so har-
vesting machines, 80 moving ma
chimes, 400 scythes, 800 spades, 800
picks, 800 axes and many other
things, the total cost of which reach
many thousands of dollars.
According to Villa he will have
need of everything which he has or
dered,. and it is said the government
is perfectly willing to humor him in
his extensive farming plans if it will
only keep him off the warpath.

U. S. SEEKS slO,OOO,OOO
in SHIPS FURNISHINGS
LINEN AND SILVER OF SEIZED
GERMAN LINERS NOT RE-
TURNED. BIG SEARCH ON.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The wor-
ried housekeeper who wondered
where she was going to get enough
clean linens to supply all of the
guest rooms at once cannot hold a
candle to the United States shipping
board which until recently was en-
gagged in a still hunt for approx
mately S1O,000,000 worth of linens,
silver and other furnishings that
were removed from the seized Ger
man liners at the outbreak of the
war and since have vanished into
thin air.
The trouble started when the gov
eminent made plans for converting
the former German liners into trans
ports so they might be used for the
carrying of troops overseas.
AS the equipment was removed II
was turned over with little or no
formality to the various welfare or

When the qeustion of disposing of
the German liners arose, however
somebody happened to inquire as to
what had become of all the furnish
ings that had formerly filled their
interiors. The principal aim of the
shipping board in selling these YES.
sells has been to avoid the expense
of refitting them and consequently
tracers were sent out after the miss
ing articles. ia

$4,000 OUT OF JOBS
AS AUTO BOOM ENDS
AKRON, OHIO, SUFFERS GREAT
SLUMP IN POPULATION. CUT
WAGES IN RUBBER MILLS.

AKRON, Ohio, Sept. 25.-Picture
a town that in ten years increased
201.8 per cent in population, jump
ing from 69,O67 in 1910 to 208,438
in 1920, and then in three months
losing not far from $4,000 of that
nopuIation, with those that remain
working part time or not at all, and
largely at smaller wages, and you
have an idea of what the break IN
the automobile business has done to
Akron. the premier automobile tire
town of the world.
Vincent S. Stevens, secretary OF
the Chamber of Commerce and rated
bv conservatives as sound man,
estimates that the number of rubber
workers laid off since June l is 2o,-
600.
More Than Half Laid OFF.
The head of one of the largest tire
companies. talking not for quotation,
says $4,000 rubber workers nave
been laid off, leaving something less
than 10000 engaged. The editor OF
a local paper, including all classes
affected bv the decline, places the
total number of persons thrown out
of employment as in excess of 3D.
900.
In laying off men care has been
used to retain wherever possible
married men with dependents, mar
ried men who are paying for homes,
single men with dependents and
those paving for homes. Previously
the usual rate of entrance pay" in
Akron has been rs cents an hour.
On this, working in pools or teams,
it was possible to earn as high as
S14 to SIS or more a shift of eight
hours--from $50 to 500 or more a
week.
Make Only Small Wages. 3
Those who may be shifted on to
the probationary system in new de-
partments, working eight hours day
and but five a week (all are on
five-dav basis now, earn but $15.2O
a week.
According to Stevens the causes
of the defiation are first the tight
ening of credits; second, a poor
spring and summer for motoring;
and third, a more or less general
Stacking off in business.
Harry Giletley, president of the
Central labor union, declares that
the plight of many of those remain
ing at work is worse than that OF the
men who have left town.
