STOLEN BONDS
MYSTERIOUSLY
RETURNED HERE
Crockett Papers, Worth
50, 200, Sent By Mail
With Note

"My conscience hurt me. | re-
turn your bonds"
So read a scribbled note which
tumbled out of fat envelope this
morning as A. C. Crockett, who had
| just taken it from his postoffice box,
opened it and drew out its contents.
The note, written in ink and on a
scrap of paper torn from an envelope
or sheet of writing paper, was un-
| signed and bore no other marks. Ac-
companying it were the $4,000 in
Liberty bonds stolen from the Crock
EFT home here few weeks ago, and
| 5000 worth of war saving certifi-
Gates, representing the total loss of
bonds and certificates except one
| 500 book of war savings certifi-
Gates All were registered except
the 500 book, which was the only
one negotiable.
The envelope bore the postmark
of kansas City, Mo, Nov. 9, 2 p.
M" 1t was addressed to Mrs. Gladys
! H. Crockett, whose name appeared
on an inside envelope holding the
bonds, and in whose name, with that
also of Mr.. Crockett. the bonds were
registered.
In connection with the return of
the bonds and ceretificates, it is re-
called that the man identified as the
burglar, who was under arrest at
Covington, Tenn, under the name of
Robert Metcalf, escaped Jail few
days ago. Inasmuch as the bonds
and certificates were non-negotiable,
and Mr.. Crockett had given the gov
ernment notice of their loss, it is
assumed that Metcalf er his pal re-
turned them, hoping that Mr.. Crock
ett would give them no more trouble
bv continuing to search for them.

CHEERED WHEN
NAMES LEADER
Armsitice Day Parade
And Barbecue Nota-
BILE Event Here

Cheers and applause greeted the
name of Woodrow Wilson today when
thrilling, straight-from-t -the-heart
tribute was paid the president in
the course of the Armistic Day ad-
dress here by Judge Andrew Cobb,
of Athens, the orator of the occas-
ion. "The America which has spok-
en- recently is not the America that
fought the war;" Judge Cobb declar-
ed, as the throng of ex-service men,
Confederate veterans, Red Cross
nurses and citizens looked on and
listened. He prophesied a brighter
day, when those who have "sown to
the wind will have reaped the whirl-
wind"
The address of Judge Cobb, who
has gained fame throughout Geor
gia as a loyal supporter of the presi-
dent, the former commander-in-chief
of the men before whom he stood,
was brief and to the point. He re-
called the days of the war. with the
whole nation behind the boys at the
front, followed by a period of reac-
ton and license and calumnies at
tendant upon peace, but pictured
bright picture of the future of our
country, when men shall think more
calmly and sanely.
Cue Follows Parade.
The address was one of several
features taking place at the Cue
Club grounds on Glessner street,
where the ex-service men were serv-
ed with barbecue. The celebration
began with parade from downtown,
which traversed the streets, passed
the Furlow grammar school, where
halt was made and the pupils join
ed in brief exercises, and on to the
scene of the barbecue. The parade
made an excellent showing 1t was
led by Chief Bragg, mounted, and
Capt Frank Stapleton, as marshal,
in uniform, also mounted. Then
followed the Ashburn band, dec
Grated gun caisson driven by Lieut..
Gordon Howell and accompanied By
Capt. H. D. Watts, of the Confed-
crate veterans. j. P. Chapman,
mounted, bore the Confederate col
ors proudly, following whom were
members of Camp Sumter, u. c. v,
in autos. A handsomely decorated
Salvation Army auto came next,
driven by Capt Luella Knox. A
detachment of men from Souther
Field, commanded by Lieut.. Wyatt.
was followed by an army signal corps
recruiting party. A huge truck fill
ed with Red Cross girls
followed The next division
was composed of more than
100 ex-service men, most of them
in service uniforms, commanded by
Dan Chappell, commander of John
D. Mathis Post, American Legion.
Members of the u. D. c. and Span
ish-American war veterans conclud-
ed the parade. Marching with the
ex-service men was Miss Chamber

Is months abroad Lieut. Jack Hoist
was adjutant of the parade.
Every Man Tagged.
Each veteran, among whom were
many visitors from other counties,
wore a tag distributed by the local
legion post, and also red poppy, SYM
bolic of Flanders fields, which were
sold by the local d. A. r. chapter.
At the Cue club a brief address
of welcome was delivered by May
or Sheppard, who expressed the
pleasure at the presence of the Con-
federate and Spanish war veterans
to give benediction to the men of

ONE TRAFFIC DEATH
EVERY FIVE DAYS.
Ten Motor Vehicle Accidents
Daily Last Year-Other
Statistics.

In the National Capital there was
one death about every five days from
traff1c accidents last year. There were
ten motor vehicle accidents every day.
Statistics showing these facts were
announced last night by Maj Cess
ford, superintendent of police. They
were prepared by Theodore Delavigne,
statistical clerk of the police depart
ment.
May Arouse Public.
The police authorities believe that
when the people have an opportunity
to think over these figures that they
will awaken drivers and pedestrians
alike to the need for greater care
in traffic not to endanger life and
limb.
Washington is. however, believed to
be the only large city in the United
States that is able to boast of a de-
crease in the number of traffic acct
dents the past twelve months. This
showing is in spite of the fact that
there was an increase of about 10000
in the number of automobile licenses
over the preceding year.
The report shows the number Of
accidents during the fiscal year ended
June 80, together with a comparative
statement with the preceding year.
Table of Accidents.
Total number of such accidents for
the past year are DIS lOllOWS.
Traffic deaths, II; a. decrease Of 5.
Motor vehicle accidents, 1926; an
increase of 234.
Street car accidents, $40; a decrease

Total traffic accidents, AIS; a de-
crease of 1877.
There was not single death due to
a bicycle accident either of the two
fiscal years and only two of the six

the last fiscal year were serious.
None of the sixty-eight bicycle acct
dents the preceding year was serious.

Accidents on the steam railroads
the past year numbered nineteen, of
them seven terminating fatally, while
the preceding year twenty-five such
accidents resulted in four deaths.
