SHERIFF WHITAKER BREATHES A
SIGH OF RELIEF UPON INCARCER-
ALTON HELEN WALKER.

Escaping from custody slipping

mitted to continue on her trip. She
was finally captured at West Palm

After evading the officers along the
line to Tallahassee the girl is said to
have annexed motorcycles in two
cities on her southwark trip to Miami.
Arriving at West Palm Beach she run
foul of the sheriff at that place and
was held for investigation.
Near Ormand, on the return trip,
the girl escaped the vigilance of the
sheriff, the sheriff stating that as he
searched the train very carefully, she
must have jumped. The girl states
that she merely hid and that she rode
on into Jacksonville on the same train
IL
NIT she escaped his vigilance.
The sheriff after arriving in jack
sonviIle, was talking with the county
superintendent when the girl rode by
on a motorcycle in company with a
man. The two officials started on the
chase and finally captured the girl.
They caught them where she and her
companion had stopped for a drink.
Again introducing himself to the girl
they resumed their train ride.
The girl was handcuffed on the train
and after riding for a few hours she
expressed a desire to rest herself by
stretching out. The sheriff, kindly,
told her to go ahead and stretch. To
his astonishment she did-and the
handouts were off her. They were
clamped on once more and the trip
was finished without mishap. The
sheriff didn't Sleep"
Upon leaving the sheriff last night
the girl told him that she had enjoyed
the ride with him and was pleased
that she had met him. She was very
iovial in bidding him goodnight and
did not show the signs Of fatigue or
WEAKNESS that was upon the face
the sheriff.

FURNITURE DEMAND OF
IMMENSE PROPORTIONS

Greensboro, n. c., Mar. 1S.-Demand
for furniture throughout the country is
of immense proportions and it is i'm
possible TO make the supply keep up
with the demand, according to manu-
facturers who attended the meetings of
the National Council of Furniture AS
sociations held here. There is every
reason to believe, these manufacturers
say, that the demand will be increas-
ingly great in the future. At the same

Professor Quigley spoke briefly on
the aims of the state university in the
matter of industrial education. He
said that the purpose of the Smith
Hughes act was to give education to
workers, who had not had time to
complete their education, or who had
gone to work without mastering a
trade.
Three kinds of classes are being
conducted: Evening classes for older
workers; part time classes for those
minors who are at work; and full
time classes in trade schools. Pensa-
cola, Professor Quigley said, is not
receiving her share Of the Smith
Hughes money because the school is
not equipped to give vocational in
struction.

The club adopted a recommendation

and an individual income tax.

US. MAY LOSE
CERMANBOATS
congressman Fear Purchasers
Will Take Them to For
eign Countries.

Congressman familiar with the
shipping laws are questioning
whether the seized interned German
ships, now offered for sale by the
shipping board, may not be taken by
their purchasers to some foreign
country, there repaired and placed
under a foreign registry and flag.
These ships have never been docu-
mented under American merchant
marine laws. There are some forty
of these ships, the largest of them
being the Leviathan, formerly the
Vaterland.
Want Them For America.
1t has been the desire of the House
these ships should remain under the
American flag and help to make up
the proposed great American mer'
chant marine.
There Is curiosity to learn who
were the bidders on these ships and
the prices offered in the bids. 1t is
thought this information will give
line on the ultimate use to be made
OF them.
A. +. Haines. vice president and
general manager of the Pacific Steam
ship Company. now in Washing ton
gave out today the following state
ment of the position of his company
with respect to these ships.
Not suited For Pacific.
"The German vessels. bids foi
which have been received by ths
Shipping Board. are not suited to tx
trans Pacific or coastwise trades IL
which the Pacific Steamship Com
pany is operating, and for that rea
son this company has not submitted
bid for any of these German yes
sells.
The trans-Pacific trade require.
combination cargo and passenger
boats similar to the new 535-foot pas
senger vessels now being construct
ed for the Shipping Board. The Ger
man ships offered by the board, have
practically no cargo capacity, and ar,
too slow to compete with the fas
cargo vessels of other nations which
are already in operation on th'
trans-Pacific routes from the nortf
Pacific ports of British Columbia anC

Following unconfirmed reports that

here today stating that Carranza has
ordered concentrated in Mexico City
all the railroad material and rolling
stock in the neighboring state of
Michoacon.
The dispatches relating to the revolt

between the governments present

bellion in Angus Caliente.
The State Department was today
without information as to the report
ed open revolt OF General Obregon
against the Carranza government. II
was stated by those closely in touch
with the situation, however, that an
Obregon revolt has been anticipated
for some time. There have been nu.
merous previous reports of such a
revolt, but they have been without
foundation.
That there has been the hardest sort
OF feeling between President Carran-

ported here. President Carranza has
opposed the candidacy OF General
Obre IN for the Presidency of the
Mexican republic, and unofficial re-
ports here have indicated that the
steps he has taken to oppose General
Obregan have aroused the wrath OF
Obregon supporters.
General Ohregon has been regard,
ed here as a worthy Mexican leader
and his attitude toward the United
States has been one of friendliness.
Unofficial reports have indicated
that supporters of General Obregor
have been anxious for him TO lead q
revolt, but, as far as this Government
is informed officially, the genera
has not deemed such action wise
