Fail to Connect Harris With Crime.
lFarmington Times. |

NrdfluluBtOu llluSS.J
There has as yet been but single
arrest in connection with the Gale
donia bank robbery, which occurred
about noon on Thursday of last week.
The party arrested on suspicion of
being one Of the two who entered the
bank is Ohas. Harris, Of Elvins, this
county, who was taken to the Potosi
Jail. Harris declares he is innocent,
and can prove an alibi. In fact there
was no money on his person when
arrested, so that it will perhaps prove
difficult to connect him with the
crime, though three men at Gale
donia, SO it is reported, positively
identifies him as being one of the rob-
bers.
Harris was taken to st. Louis the
first of the week to undergoa q "sweat-
ing" process, but that failed to get
from him anything of an incri minat-
ing nature. Miss Ida Davis, of Ell
wins, with whom Harris has for some
time been excepting company" was
also taken to st. Louis to see il any
thing could be gotten from her as to
Harris connection with the robbery.
But that also failed of any results
While this robbery was committed
without masks, there are said to bt
four connected with the crime, ane
there appears to be absolutely no ev
idence as to who are the guilty par
ties.

SINGING Band
AT CHAUTAUQUA
Red Grenadiers Band and Male
Chorus Are Notable
Attractions

The Red Grenadiers Band and
Male Chorus, four splendid
musical companies, great lee
lures on timely topics these are
notable attractions which will
appear here on the 1920 Redpath
Chautauqua. The entire pro-
gram is replete with features of
compelling interest and timeIi-
ness.
The Premier Singers and Play
ers Company will be the attrac-
ton on the first afternoon. Four
talented, vivacious artists com
pose this company. They rem
der programs of great variety,
combining orchestral, vocal and
special novelty features. Every
number is given with a brig ht-
ness and sparkle which will make
this company long remembered
in the community. A striking
feature of the program will be
the rendition of selections from
the standard opras. This is a
feature which never fails to
please Chautauqua audiences.
THE Man of the New Age" is
the lecture theme of DIR. George
L. Parker who will speak here on
the opening night of the Chau-
tauqua. DR.. Parker is a widely
known inspirational lecturer
who always gives to his hearers
a message distinctly worth
while. He is a virile, magnetic
speaker and one who holds his
audiences both by the force of
his ideas and the magnetic quail
ty of his oratory.
Earl H. Nipple, Wizard of
the Xylophone," is manager of
the Nipple Concert Company,
which will appear here in a pre-
hide on the second afternoon and
. grand concert at night. The
eOmpany's program is both clas-
gical and popular in character
and is so universal in scope that

years BeiIharz has entertained
audiences in every state in the
United States and in most of the
provinces of Canada, until al
most everywhere he has become
known as one of Americas
greatest Chautauqua artists.

will enjoy meeting at the close
of the address. In his inspiring
lecture he portrays the great les
son of self-respect, the call of
the still small voice of ones bet
ter self.
The American Girls who will
appear on the third day, are en-
tertainers extraordinary. They
possessesa overwhelmingly pleas
ing and refreshing manner
which always insures them the
heartiest welcome. Theirs is a
distinctly entertainment attrac-
ton. They render their selec-
tons in a thoroughly artistic
manner and do not attempt to
give the so-called classical"
selections, seeking rather to fea-
ture the popular and laugh-pro-
ducing songs and instrumental
numbers.
Thomas Brooks Fletcher, one
of Americas greatest dramatic
orators, on the third night will
give one of his master lectures.
Thomas Brooks Fletcher is one
of the most powerful orators of
our time. He enterrains but he
also has a powerful message and
knows how to tell it. People
want to hear about the things
that are being done in this coun-
try and that is what Fletcher is
telling them about and he is tell
ing them in a way that com
mands attention and that stimu-
lates men to action. He leaves
the impress of his lecture on
every community.
Wallace Bruce Amsbary is "the
bearer of a story" His Jean

introduce the character of the
French Canadian, that delightful
type which add so much color
and charm to the poems, novels
and stories of Sir Gilbert Parker,

A YELLOW STREAK

From the ChicagoS Tribune.
 1O)CNNING through the current base lNN ball scandal there is a yellow.
 streak which will be remembered by devotees of true sportsmanshp long after those guilty of conspiracy to be- tray their friends are punished Per haps organized baseball may eventually be cleaned up and restored to popular favor by the action now under way, but there will remain a doubt of professional sportsmanship made certain even more by the crnging yellowness of some of those involved by their willingness to defraud employer and friend.
 One man. long a hero of the fans and high on the pay roll of major league baseball, weeps as he confesses and in words remindful of many temporary criminal court repentance says he did it all Ito pay off a mortgage osi the farm and for the wife and kids Another who lodged the firing line in war by seeking refuge in the shipyards, rails and rages because he got only "$5 900 in a dirty envelope" when he had been prom ised $20,000 Another, prize fighter once famous, rises in righteous wrath to deny that he was an agent in the conspiracy and puts the blame upon a gambler friend The friend passes back the buck.

America Is Returning
 to Normal Conditions

m RICE-CUTTING seems to be E general throughout the country. There are indications that the move ment has already gained such n1omen- tum that nothing can stop it. The profiteer has been routed by the com mon sense of the American people.
 For a while we reveled in extrava- gance. Thrift was preached from the housetops by few courageous indi- viduals, but their advice went un- needed. High wages were squand- cred for luxuries and people whose incomes had not kept up with the ad- vance of prices were caught between the profiteers on one side and was trels on the other
 But this situation of affairs could not continue indefinitely without bringing disaster. The American peo- pie began to balk at exorbitant prices. They discovered, many of them for the first time, that they could wear shoes, hats, clothes and other apparel twice as long, or three times as long, as they had ever done before. Newly learned thrift was strengthened by resentment. Regardless of who was to blame for high prices, it was ob- vious that they were beyond all req son.
 The unorganized opposition of con- sumers began to be felt. The manu- facturer, the wholesaler and the re- taller discovered that sales were not as brisk as they had been. Stocks were accommodating. Something had to be done, Something was done and as result we are gradually, < but surely, getting back to a pre-war basis.

CHICAGO GIRLS REBEL

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Dealers in women's shoes in Chicago are in trouble and the air of the mid dle west is vocal with their plaints. The source of their discontent is that the girls will no longer buy the shoes with high heels and higher prices es- pecially designed for them at the ex- pense of much brain power as to gen. eral attractiveness and an equal amount of financial skill as to exactly the highest price that could be charged for them.
 But the girls themselves have started something. the end of which is not yet in sight. but which Is being awaited with some apprehension by the Chi cago shoe dealers. They will not buy these pedal confections. but instead are buying boys shoes which, they all lege, not only give better wear but are cheaper, two arguments which the shoe dealers consider to be utterly spacious.
 The revolt, it appears, started in the universities and the colleges. and has made such headway that the lot of a Chicago shoe salesman these days Is indeed bitter one. This unfortunate meets with daily rebuffs when he tries to put over $20 pair of shoes that must have cost all of $Sto make and hc is told that all rear girls are now buying boys shoes. that high heels are now "old stuff and fit only for Chinese women, and other discouraging state ments to the same effect. made with the characteristic vigor of the Chicago miss.
 Disregarding entirely the ancient joke about the size shoe required for the average young ChicagoAn of the female persuasion. joke which has long sunk into deserved oblivion. the situation Is most interesting. Whether the fundamental common sense of the American people in which Abraham Lincoln had so abiding a faith is now beginning to assert itself or whether the move is simply freak of fashion is not yet clear. But at any rate, ifit renders unsalable a lot of freakish footwear made at a low cost and sold at extortionate prices. the revolt of the Chicago girl may play leading part in small section of our economic readjustment

ALFONSO LAUGHED AT WILHELM

ALrONsO LAUGHED AT WILHELM From the Living Age.
 A conversation with the King or Spain in March. 1917. appeared in re- cent issues of Matin. in which that monarch made some interesting com ments upon the ex-kaiser.i He stated that twelve years before, when he was IS years old. the Kaiser appointed him colonel of one of the Prussian rega- ments. A little later when the Kaiser was at vigo. King Alfonso went on board the imperial vessel to pay an or ficial visit. On the advice of the Ger man military attache he wore undress uniform. :.
 During my journey by train to Vigo. King Alfonso said. T practiced the stif- fest Prussian salutes. On reaching the bridge of the ship I saw that every body was wearing full dress uniform, but what was more serious was that when I found myself befoFe the Em- peror, forgot all the little exercises had been studying and burst out laugb- ing.
 ..The Kaiser made a scene, reproach- ing me before his and my own staff and comm entinz on my carelessness and the incorrectnees of my uniform. When one salutes the German Emperor one should wear full dress uniform. You should not have forgotten it. he said" :" King Alfonso, in explaining that he had acted on the advice of the German military attache. used tho familiar form "tu,'' as the Kaiser had done.
