SOVIET Authorities.
Status OF Unfed States Citizens Worse
Than Others They Claim.

Terijoka, Finland, Russian From
tier, Aug. 9-A thousand foreigners.
including thirty-five Americans are
now at Moscow hoping for action by
their governments 10 get them out of
Russia before winter sets in. They
include, besides the Americans, 700
French, 100 British and 100 Scandin-
avianS.
Aside from the thirty-five of un-
doubted American citizenship there
are a large number claiming Ameri-
can citizenship who have gathered
from all parts OF Russia because Of
tn" impossible living conditions and
VINO are awaiting Bolshevik permis-
sions TO leave.
They are the last of Russa's pre-
war foreign resident population.
Inquiries by the Associated Press
correspondent, prior TO his deposition
to England from Moscow because he
had not received advance Soviet au-
thorization for trip from Fladivos-
tok 10 the Soviet capital, developed
that many foreigners have been refu-
gees in Moscow for more than a year.
Status Worse Than Others.
The Americans in Moscow say their
status is worse than that of the citi-
zens of any other country. They are
held virtually as hostages while the
Soviet tries to force Washington to
negotiate officially with Moscow or
the Bolshevik agents.
Five Americans are known to be
imprisoned in Moscow. Among them
are DR.. A. w. Stickney geologist, ard
his wife, who recently arrived in Mos
COW from Siberia. The others are Roy
al C. Keely, a man named Lamark
and a naturalized American Greek
named Calimidiaonv who has been
imprisoned for year and a half
charged with being a spy.
A half dozen other Americans have
been imprisoned in Moscow al differ
ent times during the last two Years.
The Americans stranded in Russia
are for the most part longtime ""S!-
dents who did not leave in tn" fall
OF 1918 when the United States d.
plOmaIs withdrew.

NEW RUMORS AFLOATIN
EDWIN WHITE MURDER CASE

Mullins Enterprise.
Ever since the confession OF Archie
Turner, two weeks ago, that he ac-
cidentally shot and killed Edwin
White, various rumors have been
floating around, but they fail TO throw
any true light on the perpctrator of
the deed, as almost from the begin
ming Archie'S statement has been
discrediled. Various circumstances
make il clear TO those who have
watched the case thai Archie was not
the one who killed Edwin White but
that others OF his connection either
killed the aged man or had him pur
Out OF the way.
The latest rumor heard on tn"
streets yesterday in connection with
the case, is that Tom Turner. the IA
thcr OF Archie has confessed To IN"
officers that he assisted in making
away with the body after the killing.
Sheriff ROwell and Deputy Edwards
are leaving no stone unturned in
the matter and are said 10 be giving
the prisoners some trying grillings
in their effort 10 get at the truth.

PONZI' ATTORNEYS
ASKS RECEIVERSHIP.
Declares "Financier'S" Notes Raised
During Run on His Boston
Office.

Boston. Aug. 17-An intimation Of
the defense of the board of Charles
Ponzi, now in Jail as the outcome of
his financial dealings was given to-
day by his chief counsel, Daniel Nc
Isaac, who said that PonZi has been
swindled out of thousands of dollars
through the forging and raising Of his
notes.
The attorney declared that notes
for 500 in some cases had been rails
ed to $1,000 and others accordingly
during the run of Ponzi's office.
At a hearing in the federal court
today on petitions for receivership Of
the Securities Exchange Company, of
which Ponzi was head, no opposition
was voiced. Judge Morton took under
advisement the receiyership plea and
also the question whether one or
three receivers should be appointed.
Attorney Allen said tonight that
the returns filed by note holders up
to the time of closing today showed
the liabilities Of Ponzi 10 be $3,349,-
O31. This sum included the so per
cent profit which the investors were
promised. He said that more than
900 note holders have reported.

MEMORY RETURNS AFTER
LAPSE OF % YEARS.

Terre Haute, Ind. Aug. 11-Alex-
ander Bells memory has been reStor-
ed TO him after a lapse Of 25 years.
The nan formerly lived in Tell City,
Ind. a slight operation restored his
memory.
Out in Haskell, Okla, the quiet
routine of Mrs. A. r. Barr's life has
been interrupted. She finds herself
the wife of two men.
Twenty-Five years ago Alexander
Bell left Tell City, Ind, to visit his
brother Ben Bell at Chattanooga,
Tenn. Reaching Chattanooga, he
icGnd his brother had moved to his
country home, so the visitor set out
through the woods TO seek him. Moth
iag was heard from that time until
40 returned here recently.
After Mr.. Bells disappearance his
wife went on with their general mer-
chandise business. Detectives in
many states and the mans two sons
searched the country for him. Mrs.
Bell followed a daughter to Oklaho-
ma, met Mr.. Barr and married him.
Mr.. Bell can remember nothing of
his life for the past 25 years. Fol-
lowing a spinal adjustment, his mem
ory returned and he began a search
for his family which resulted in the
finding of son, Andrew Bell. Be-
cause of poor health, Mr.. Bell has
not been told of his wlfe's second
marriage.

THREE MEN GO TO PES
FOR EAlASCULATING BOY
Father and Sons Performed Criminal
Operation Upon Youth on Ac-
count OF Family Feud.

Lexington, y. ca Aug. 10-Wil-
liam Brewer was sentenced this morn
ing in superior court TO serve ten
years at hard labor in the state pen
ltentiary, following conviction by
jury late last night on the charge of
criminal operation upon Robert Hud-
son, while his two sons, Charles Brew
ef and Harvey Brewer, were sentenc-
ed TO serve fifteen years. The defend
ants gave notice OF appeal to the su-
preme court in all cases and Were CIV
Ell liberty pending hearing of the ap-
peal in sums of $4,000 each.
William Brewer is 66 years old,
Charles about "a and Harvey about
20. They sat with bowed heads,
bodies leaning forward as counsel
plead to the motion to set the ver-
dict aside. Grounds for motion al
legged were that prejudice created by
the unnatural and atrocious nature
of the assault upon Hudson had
made it impossible for the defen-
dants to get a fair trial. Counsel
also plead especially that the verdict
be set aside as to Harvey, the young
est son, claiming that they had real
ly established valid alibi in his
case. 1t was plead for Charles
Brewer that his service in France
had rOughened his nature by reason
of environment forced upon him.
He was in the smash of the Hinden-
burg line, said counsel, in pleading
for him. To this Judge J. Bis Ray
replied in flash of eloquence that
no soldier who in that memorial
battle achieved fame that rests like
a benediction of God could be ex-
cused for coming home and shaming
the flag by disgracing the laws of
the land Good men in peace walk
in paths laid down by the law, con-
cluded the Judge.
The jury returned verdict last
night at IL o'clock after deliberat-
/ ing for several hours before taking
a ballot. 1t is reported that there
was practically unanimnity from the
first.

POSTOFFTCE ROBBED
Yeggmen Blew Open Safe and Secur-
ed S2O,U10 In Insured Mail to
Bank OF FaiImont.

Lumberton Robesonian.
Yeggmen robbed the postoffice al
Fairmont Tuesday night and escaped
with 10000 in currency and sever
al hundred dollars worth OF postage
stamps. The money had been sent
by insured mail 10 the Bank OF Fair
mont, reaching Fairmont on a late
train. The money was in the post
office safe. The robbers entered the
building by prying the door open and
the safe was blown open. The safe
door was blown across the room and
it is supposed nitro-glycerine was
used by the yeggmen. The work
looked like that of professionals.
The explosion caused several people
10 rush 10 the streets and when they
started towards the postoffice build
ing one of the robbers fired pistol
several times and ordered them to
retreat. II is thought that there
were at least three men connected
with the robbery, which took place
between and o'clock Wednesday
morning.
The robbers drove a new Studeba-
ker auto belonging TO Mr.. A. l.. Jones
about a mile out of town and aban-
doned it. 1t is thought they had an
other car. Mr.. Jones car was taken
from his garage. Sheriff r. E. Lewis
and Deputy Sheriff A. H. Prevatt
went to Fairmont yesterday morn
ing but found no clue as TO the gull
ty parties.

1t is safe 10 say that fully % 10
so per cent of the hens which make
up the farm flock OF poultry do not

from 10 years on the farm, and
such individuals are always loss

ducers or boarding hens greater
profit will be derived from the flock.
Feed bills can thus be reduced and

provided for this years young stock
The hen that lays only few eggs
in the spring and early summer is
usually a very early molter. That
is she sheds her feathers anywhere
from July TO the middle of Septem-
Der. This is caused by the fact that
she is a poor layer. She lays her
clutch of eggs and then starts mol
ting her feathers. The hen that is a
good layer will start laying in the
early spring and continue producing
eggs during the hot summer months.
She is so busy manufacturing eggs
that she does not have time 10 shed
her feathers and put on new coat
until late in the fall.

A THRILLING PICTURE

Wallace Reid, Paramount star, has
had some thrilling and hard fought
battles in his numerous Paramount
and Aircraft pictures, but what is
conceded to be one OF the most SEN
sational fights ever staged in a screen
production is shown with vivid real
ism in The Valley of the Giants,
his new ACKNOWLEDGEMENT picture,
which will be shown at the Liberty
theatre January 1l-12.
Colonel Pennington, a scheming
and INSCRIPTIONS politician in the
town of Sequoia, in the heart of the
big Redwood forests OF California,
has bribed the mayor of the town to
yacate a franchise which he had
previously granted to Bryce Cardi-
gan, which part is played by the star,
to build railroad leading out of the
Valley of the Giants.
Angered by this underhanded
work, Bryce takes his workmen and
in the middle of the night lays a
railroad directly across the tracks of
Colonel Pennington road. When
Pennington discovers this he calls
on his illiterate henchmen, IA crowd
Of rough lumbermen, and the excite
ment starts.
The ensuing fight is said to be one
of the most realistic ever screened.
The picture is based upon Capt, Peter
b. kyne's famous novel of the same
name and was directed by James
Cruze. A capable cast supports the
star.

It means for the motion picture
patrons that Mary Pickford. Charlie
Chaplin. Douglas Fairbanks and u.
W. Griffith will hereafter be enabled
TO produce pictures in their own way.
They will make fewer pictures than
they have made before, and this in
itself will be an advantage. Hereto
fore they have been obliged to turn
out certain number of productions
within given period and conse-
Quently have not always had the
time to perfect their work
The first picture made under these
ideal conditions is His Majesty, the

having secured this picture for this
city. The Grand theatre has always
endeavored to choose its attractions
with discrimination and regardless
