$4,000 Hat Goes Begging

The Millinery Jobbers' Association
opened its convention at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel yesterday with the an
nouncement that President Deschane
of France had declined with thanks, on
behalf of his wife, the $4,000 hat which
the Miliners' Association of America
had constructed for her from materials
which came from all of the forty-eight
states.
1t was said the President of France
had specified fourteen points that he
found Objectionable in the gift, the most
salient being that the hat contained no
"Made in Paris" label.
A letter from Ambassador Jusserand
was read in which the refusal of the hat
was couched in much more diplomatic
language. The French Ambassador de-
clared the gift and the motives which
inspired it were appreciated deeply, but
that it was impossible for Nine. Des
chanel to accept it.

TELLS NEW ARMY
TRAINING IDEA
Credit Mems Speaker Defends
System at Luncheon.

e the luncheon of the indianapolis
association of Credit Men yesterday at
Cze Claypool hotel, Ellis u. Graf. su-
perintendent oe indianapolis schools
spoke on the subject OF military train
ing.
In addition to the talk by Mr.. Graf
there was discussion of the matter OF
"Trade and Discount Abuses and Their
Remedies"
In his talk. Mr.. Graft said that military
training does not mean merely close
order drill and the proper execution Of
the manual of arms.
Just recently, in Washington, he said,
he talked to a member of the War col
lege, and was told that everything that
savored of the technic Of war could be
eliminated and yet, if the proper educa-
ton were given, the student would be
an apt pupil that could be taught in a
short time the finer arts of war.
That he ADDED, was what the wal
college desired in military training.
The foundation, he said, should con-
sist primarily Of general intelligence,
physical fitness and education.
He said thai as long as we have TO
military caste, a caste that has its place
by birth and not by merit, democracy
need have no fear of becoming militar-
istic.
In speaking of a recent visit to Camp
Taylor, he said 1t had the appearance of
a big university; that he saw entire
classes taught by professional instruc-
tors. studying and reciting everything
4 from science to mechanics.
Mr. Graft is q member of committee
appointed to devise a program of mill
tary training in schools throughout the
country.

2 Who ESCAPED
JAIL TAKEN HERE
Dogs Chase Macon Ne
groes From Hiding
Near Leslie

Two of the five negro prisoners
who escaped from the Macon county
Jail at Oglethorpe Wednesday even
ing by overpowering the jailor, were
captured near Leslie Friday after
noon by Sumter county officers, as
sisted by numerous citizens and
Sheriff Harvey's bloodhounds.
The two negroes were seen about
noon near Leslie. They were
strangers in the community and
when J. W. Suggs, town marshal of
Leslie, and S. l.. Cox, bailiff of that
district, attempted to stop them to
inquire their business they fled to
the woods. The officers phoned for
Sheriff Harvey and his dogs and he
and Deputy Tom Summers soon were
parties to the hunt.
About the middle of the afternoon
one of the negroes, Jasper Brown,
found the dogs getting close to him
and he darted out of the swamp and
brush where he was hiding into the
presence of j. c. Hoffman, DR.. Wood
and Mr.. Bowen, of Leslie, who were
assisting in the chase. They prompt
ly seized him and held him. While
he was being brought to the Sumter
Jail the search went on and about
dusk the other negro, Arthur Mathis,
was located by the dogs and in trying
to make his escape from them he ran
into Sheriff Harvey and Bailiff Cox,
ending the man hunt.

HOLDS LEVER ACT
NOT ENFORCEABLE.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May Judge
Walter Evans in the Federal Court
here holds the Lever act is non-en4
forcible because of it's vagueness.
The court did not, however. pass
on the constitutionality of the act.
The judges opinion was given in
discharging the federal grand Jury.
which had before it several charges
of profiteering. These cases were
dismissed, Judge Evans holding that.
while congress had the right to speci-
ty what are regarded as 'neces-
saries," under the act it did not do so.
VI am of the opinion the act in
question is not enforcible, as a Grim
lnal statute, was his decision. in
part. Il feel bound to say, as at
present advised and without the gui-
dance of any decision by the higher
courts, that in my Judgment the in
dlctment of any citizens under this
statute would be wrong.
No one of the parties who have
been guilty of these offenses can es-
cape ultimate punishment if the high.
er courts shall say authoritatiyelg
that a vague and unmeaning statute
