WOMAN TALKS IN
NEWBERRY CASE
Prosecution Claims Strong
Chain Is Forged by Her
Evidence.

Grand Rapids, Feb. Truman H.
Newberry received letters concerning
the 1918 senatorial campaign from his
Detroit headquarters and managers
of his campaign used Newberry's let
ter box when in New York, according
TO testimony of Mrs. Annabelle Ham
iIton, one of the chiefs of the steno-
graphic force of the Newberry cam
paign committee today. This evidence
is considered by prosecution as one
of the strongest links thus far forged
in the chain by which it seeks to bind
the 123 defendants into a common
purpose to violate the federal cleo
ton laws. She also touched on fl
nances and said she saw punches of
wrapped bills" in the vault at cam
paign headquarters of Detroit.

Financial Chairman Hervey of the
Community Service yesterday said II

of the service,a and that it's continuity
will be looked on with much favor by
naval officials"
Admiral PIunkett before leaving
Pensacola on his last visit here told
Chairman Hervey that the attitude of
the Pensacola people on this matter
would undoubtedly have great in

tho navy as a permanent base.

Servics headquarters, was in Pensa-
cola Yesterday and expressed high ap-
nroval of the proposed program and

Pensacola Boy Scouts To
Join In The Observance OF
National Good Turn Week
Amateur Wireless Operators
Will Receive Messages From
Air Station Tonight.
IS TENTH ANNIVERSARY
Organization Has Trained a
Million and a Quarter Boys
to Be Wide-Awake.

Four hundred thousand members
OF the Boy Scouts of America and one
hundred volunteer leaders of the or
ganization join in celebrating the tenth
anniversary Of the scout movement
during the nationwide good turn
campaign" during which through
some channel every man. woman and
child in the United States is being
asked to adopt for that week the Boy
Scout habit of doing a good turn to
some one each day.
Pensacola Boy Scouts will take part
in the national celebration and at s
O'Clock tonight the radio operator on
watch at the naval air station will
send out a message to every scout in
the country. The boys who record
the message correctly will receive
special commendation. At S:15 o'clock
tonight every scout in the land will
stand at salute and report the scout
oath.
Each year, since Feb 8, 1910 when
the Boy Scouts of America was incor-
porated at the nations capital under
the laws of the District of Columbia,
has seen phenomenal growth and ex-
pansion of the movement. There are
today more than 375,O00 scouts and
approximately one hundred thousand
scout leaders in the United States. In
its first decade of service to the nation
and it's boyhood, the scout movement
has trained one million two hundred
thousand American boys in its "phy-
sfcally strong, mentally awake and
morally straight" program.
In every state in the union, as well
as Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico
the scouting program of character
building and outdoor recreation is be-
ing carried out.
A significant feature of the devel-
opment of the scout program has been
the universal endorsement it has re-
ceived from churches of all denomina-
tions; its program has been officially
adopted by church groups represen-
ting a total membership of $4,000, 900.
The tenth anniversary of the Boy
Scouts of America will be observed
by an effort to create good feeling and
to promote Americanization through
the doing of a good turn daily by every
man, woman and child in the land. In
our 10000 American communities
where troops of scouts are organized
programs of service and demonstration
will be conducted. In a degree never
before realized, churches of all denom-
nations will give attention to the sub
ject of brotherliness, using the scout
motto DO a Good Turn Daily as a
text.
Gatherings of Rotary and Kiwanis
Clubs and other business and social
every where will be de-
voted to the good turn, and through
out America thousands of CHEEKY old ,
scouts will pin on their lapels little
square knot of express package twine, |
the scout emblem which reminds
them to do a good turn to some one
each day throughout Good Turn Week. |

Negroes Believed To Be
Ring Leaders In House
Robbery Gang Are In Jail
Much Loot and Strong Evidence
Secured by Police Captain
Harper and Officer Hall
JAIL KEY AMONG ITEMS
To Aid Police in Case Parties
Whose Houses Were Robbed
Urged to Examine Loot

With the arrest Of Edward Thomas
and Rebecca Goldsmith, negroes, late
Friday night the police department
believe that the ringleaders of the
band of burglars and housebreakers
that have caused so much uneasiness
lately have been taken and the gang
broken up. Articles ranging from a
key to the county Jail to pocket knives
were recovered by the officers in the
loot taken from the effects of Thomas
Articles recovered mostly are of small.
value, the jewelry of big value having
been sent to New Orleans and dis
posed of there according to the theory
of the police department. The negroes
We're taken by Captain Harper and
Officer Hall, who have been working
on the case for the past month, and
the arrests came as a result of their
work.
That these negroes We're connected
with several, if not most, of the recent
robberies is the belief of the police
department and numerous articles are
at the station.
Residents whose homes have been
tion to see if any of the articles could
be identified and in this way to es-
tablish the number of houses these
people are suspected of having en-
tered. The articles consist OF several
pocket knives, a fever thermometer, .
watch chains, each of which formerly
had a coin pendant, the rings being
left on the chain, stick pins, and other
articles of jewelry. Among the loot
are also a number of linen handker-
chiefs, laundry marked III. w. L..
II. M" and other marks. The articles
are not valuable, but if identified will
assist the police department in their
work of clearing much of the mystery
of the recent robberies.
The two officers have suspicioned
Thomas and watched him for the past
10 days, but found it hard to get
enough evidence against him for con-
viction. He is known, to have planned
some dangerous work in connection
with robbery and is known to have
been implicated in several of the rob-
berries they started. Just how many
robberies he has been connected with
may partly be cleared after identifi-
cation of some of the articles.
He is also suspected of being I'M
plicated in the Bagdad robbery re-
Gently and several others in places
near the city. Keys bearing the name
of Mr.. Poss were recovered as were
also some keys which belonged to the
county building, one Of them being
a key to the Jail. 1t is said that
Thomas got this key from the home
of the janitor of the county building
recently.
That Thomas was working in con-
nection with other parties is the theory
at the station and after hauls netting
valuable jewls We're made these would
be either disposed of locally or sent
to New Orleans. 1t is suspected that
at least one white man is connected
with d3sposing of the more valuable
jewels, and aided in placing some 10
