splendidly in "Civilian Clothes,' which
is again making it's home on Broadway
at tho Morosco Theater, is authority
for this statement, which, if it comes
to pass, should delight some of our old
fashioned citizens and manufacturers
Of woolen cloth and distress those Of
the younger generation.
But as far as Courtenay himself Is
concerned he is prepared for the re-
turn of the time when the bigger the
pegleg the better chaps standing
in the community. All he would have
to do would be to wear the outfit in
which he makes his entrance as Sam

of men as they walk up and down the
streets Of New York, TO find pair of
shoes like those which Sam McGinnis
wears. If they are for sale in boot
shops they are probably hidden away
some place on the shelves. Yet
Courtenay says he went into shop
and bought them. He doesn't say it
was in New York City, however.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18-William
Gibbs McAdoo announced today that
he would not permit his name to be
used on presidential primary ballots
In the various states and thai he ad-
vocated the sending of uninstructed
delegates to the Democratic National
convention. The former secretary of
the treasury said he believed the
highest constructive leadership can
best be obtained if the national in
%terests are not submerged in a con-
test of individual candidates..
Personally" he said. II would be
delighted if the next national nve
ton might be a great Democratic con-
ference where the utmost reedom of
action might PREVAIL and where the
motive Of high service alone might
control.
The obligations of citizenship in a
democracy are supreme" he said. and
therefor we should regard it as the
imperative duty Of any man to accept
a nomination If it should come to him
unsolicited.
II am not seeking tn nomination"
the letter read, "and am reluctant to
do anything that would create the
appearance of a candidacy
Mr.. McAdoo's views were expressed
in a letter sent to Miller S. Bell. may
or of M~illedgeville. Ga, in response
to a telegram saying the citizens of
his boyhood home had placed his
name on h presidential preferential
ticket.

DEP0S|TORSN NOT
BANK ROBBERS
Thought Local Men Were Ban
dis in ROseIIe Bank

A man is likely to be taken for
anything these days. That is what
foul prominent Perth Amboy bust
ness men thought yesterday when
they walked into the First National
Bank at Roselle n were taken for
bank robbers. The entire s,aff of
the bank was thrown into a panic
and 1t was not until the local men
identified themselves and assured the
cashier that their designs were moth
ing more serious h to open an ac-
count, that the excitement subsidized.
1t seems that four of Perth Am
boys business men have combined in
the purchase of a tfAct of land at
Roselle which they ropos to de-
velop. Deciding that a local bank
where the tract is situated was the
place to do business the four went
there yesterday to open an account.
Roselle is not a very big pace and
nearly everybody knows nearly every
body else there. Also, the Koselle
bank has already had an unpleasant
experience with robbers this year
when he institution was held mp in
broad daylight and several thousand
dollars stolen. Naturally, the officials
are a bit v

The entire staff was at attention in
an instant. Every man and girl
jumped for the a.arm button, the
cashiers draw few open his hand
rested on a revolver. 1t was q tense
moment.
~, hat do you want?". asked the
party, noticed the warlike prepara-
tons, asked what was the matter.
Then the spokesman for the local
cashier, looking a bit pale and back
ing off as if expecting trouble.
Why, we have come in to make q
deposit. We are from Perth Amboy
and have just bought a tract of land
here which we propose to develop and
we thought we would do business
through your bank" was the reply.
There was a great sigh of relief. the
clerks became more at ease inc the
cashier stammered IN invitation to
come into his private office. In the
meantime, the president of the bank,
noticing something unusual was hap
pening, came rushing in and was
about to- summon the police.
1t took about half an hour for the
affairs of the bank to be running nor
NAL again. The local men are telling
the story as a good joke on themselves
today.
