be pertinent to state that Chief
of Police received a letter Mon.
day from the Greensboro police
stating that four white men
Bob Greer, Kent Greer, Will
Clinard and W. R. Coats were
wanted in that town, charged
with the theft of two Ford cars.
And that Coats is also wanted on
a charge of larceny, having skip

is described as being one-legged,

One is a roadster and the other a
curing car.
But back to the robbery and
pursuit of last Friday night.
Alarm Given.
After the robbers disappeared
in the stolen car, Harrington call
ed Steele and he emerged from
the woods. The two then went
to Harrington's, got a car and
quickly went to Diggs store from
which point they phoned the
alarm to Rockingham, advising
the Sheriff to look out for and
stop a Hudson Speedster and a
Ford coupe. The Sheriff at once
organized searching parties, send
ing out a score or more cars as
posses. The Ford passad Rock

given, and also reached Ellerbe;
at that point the two occupants
are said to have bought some
cartridges. And then continued
their northward way.
Watt Long with several men
were the first to start out.
In the meantime, the Hudson
Speedster had passed through
the city, and had driven back
through town and had gone to
Hamlet where it filled with gaso.
line, and returned again through
the city.
When it passed back down
Main street, the top was down
and two women were sitting on
the front seat with the driver, J.
Kent Greer. AS the car started
down the steep hill from the
courthouse, the driver opened
wide and the car literally flew

latter's Hudson Speedster. At
Rockingham they were joined by
F. c. Markwalter. At Ellerbe
James Alfred got out of one Of
the other cars and entered their
car. They then continued up
the road, their idea being to fol-
low on towards High Point and
give the alarm to the officers
there in the hope ofarresting the
man, They reached Biscoe about
midnight, bought some gas and
smokes, and continued north

Stolen Car Breaks Down.
Some distance beyond Biscoe,

Messrs. Robert Steele, Jr., F. C..
Markwalter, James Alfred and
J. F. Diggs, came upon a Ford
Coupe, standing by the roadside
with the left rear wheel broken
off. Investigating, Mr.. Steele
positively identified the car as
being the one stolen from him.
The radiator was still warm, thus
showing that the occupants were
not far ahead. This was just be-

MEN S HATS GOING HIGHER
Orient Blamed for Much of Rise;
Especially in Straw
Headgear.

NV York, April 21.-Do not throw
away your old hats unless YOU are pre-
pared to pay increased prices for your new
headQear. is the advice to women az we'll
as men direct from headquarters. In
other words, the worst of high prices is yet
to come. The increased cost of straws is
blamed largely on the japanese and
Chinese, from whose countries come much
OF the supply of straw braid.
There has been rise of 800 per cent In
the price of raw silk, but the advance IN
the price of straw braid has been even
more profitable to the japanese. piece
of braid that formerly brought l3 cents is
now bringing $l25. Then, too, wages
have increased among the Japanese and
their handiwork In braid-making has
greatly advanced them industrially.
Braids for 1921 are now being bought
by the manufacturers and from present
indications the Sc grade will be retailing
next year for 81 or IS.
Then. too. there will be an advance OF
all fall and winter hats for men. When you
bought your pre-war hat for S5, You
thought perhaps you had reached the
peak Of the high cost of heedpear. But
this fall you will pay at least $40 for the
same article, it is predicted The cheaper
grade of hats will go up IN proportion.
There are several reasons for the IN
creased cost 10 the trade, one OF the large
items being the increased wages IN the
hat factories, which have about doubled
since the war. The fur from which the
felt hat is made has also advanced in price
The fur usually used is that of the rabbit
or Belgian hare. Rabbits have been IN
demand for the making of fur coats.
Women have invaded the rabbit market
and men must now pay the price of com
petition for the furs Rabbit fur that
Formerly cost the hat maker 81 pound
now costs Sl4 pound. Then feathers,
or sweat bands. have gone up through the
scarcity Of leather used for this purpose.
| Trimmings have also advanced.
These are the concrete reasons why
YOU will pay more for your hats this sum-
mer and fan, as advanced by the trade.

CUMMINGS IS CHOSEN
CHIEF BY DEMOCRATS
National Chairman will Tempo
rarily Preside Over San Fran
cisco Convention.

Chicago, April 2l.-Homer $. Cum
mings, Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, has been elected
Temporary Chairman of the San Fran
cisco Convention The Chairman was
the choice of the National Subj Committee
on Arrangements. His designation to
sound the keynote of the Democratic
Presidential campaign will be urged on the
full committee at later date. His
selection will probably be regarded
by the drys and other sympathizers
Of Mr.. Bryan as challenge to battle.
Before the full committee meets Mr..
Bryan and critics of the Wilson Adj
ministration will have decided whether
to suggest another man for the honor
conferred on Mr.. Cummings yesterday.
His selection was unanimous on the part
of the TWENTY-FIVE members OF the
Arrangements Committee.
Speculation rs to the view that Mr..
Bryan and his supporters would take
of the selection were not considered
important Substantially II was that
Mr.. Bryan would make a fight any
way, and it might IA we'll be over the
Temporary Chairmanship as anything
else. The Nebraska statesman has
clearly indicated his dlsapproval OF
the National Chairman on several oc-
cnsions, primarily for participating in
a dinner to Mr.. Edwards the wet Gov
vernon of New Jersey, couple of months
ago.
Members of the National Committee
manifest complete frankncss in dis
oussing Mr.. Bryan. They were greatly
encouraged by the confidence of Com
nitteeman Mullen of Nebraska. who
brought word from his State that Mr..
Brvan would be trimmed" in the pri-
maries there Monday. If his prediction
proves correct, Mr.. Bryan will not be
in anv position To make trouble because
he will not have the right TO mix up
in the Convention proceedings, proxies
not being allowed by the rules.

TO FORCE DRY ISSUE TO TOP
 OF CAMP PA|CN
By United Press )

Washington, March 2.-Develop- ments in national political circles in- dlcate that enforcement of the con stitutiOnal prohibition amendment may overshadow the treaty of peace s,o tne DIg issue of the next prest- dentlal campaign. As it becomes more evident that strong and prob ably successful efforts will be made to inject the treaty into the cam palgn as an issue, it is also noticed that attempts are beng made to dwarf the treaty question by intro ducing the prohibition issue. The movement for making prohibition the primary issue Is believed to have the support of politicians who oppose, for various reasons, the injection of the treaty into the national races.
 Injection of the prohibition issue will have doubtful effect upon the chances oth Democrats and Re publlcans tJ be successful, it is be- lleved. The importance of the treaty as a campaign issue will depend large ly upon the nature of the reservation blanks written into the party plat forms at their national conventions. If the plans on reservations to the treaty are only slightly different, the peace issue will take a subordinate place in the campaign, it is predicted.
 Political observers forecast that the prohibition issue will be a clear cut choice between rigid enforcement of the Volstead bill and the privilege of having beer and light wines for home consumption. With this issue played up, the politicians believe that the public will relegate the treaty to a minor place.
