WHAT HE WEATHER MAY
BE IN WASHINGTON
CAssociated Press)

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Viewing the
weather probabilities of Inauguration
day in the light of the law of averages
the odds probably would be laid as fol-
lows:
Fair and balmy, IL to l.; mild but
overcast, 8 to l; cold and damp, even;
very cold and very damp. to 5; snow.
hail, ETC., to l; blizzard, Is to l.
The cold mathematics of historical
record would indicate such odds to be
fair. 1t is an even bet that Mr. Hard
ing will need heavy overcoat when
he rides to the capitol and three
chances out of FIVE that some one
should be nearby with an umbrella
and overshoes. 1t seems to be safe
at twelve to one that Mr.. Harding
will not experience the perfect spring
day which greeted Mr. Wilson on the
occasion of bis first inaugural
On three occasions Washington has
given the inauguration crowds a
weather welcome in which warmth
was eonspicuously absent. President
Grants second ceremony was "bitter

corded, the wind being of the "keen

AN ENJOYABLE PARTY

Social occasions of all descriptions
have taken place quite often this win
ter, not only at the club house at
Eastlake, but all around this beautiful
body of water-Lake Weir, which is
certainly gaining in popularity and
fast settling up with prominent people
from all over the United States; and
the many affairs that have taken
place there this season have been
most pleasant not only for the regu-
lar year-round residents, but for the
many visitors who are at the lake for
the winter. Of all these well planned
entertainments none will take prece-
dence over the party Saturday evening

DYAL FIRED AND
SIMS IS DEAD
Yeggmen Who Escaped from Ocala
Jail Saturday Morning Met With
Bad Luck near Campyille
Sunday Afternoon

Unless he is better of as free
ghost. with some or all or none of the
terrors theology threatens, than a live
man in rather comfortable prison,
A. c. Sims had better have remained
in a Marion jail He was fatally
wounded by George Dyal of Campville,
near Campville. in Alachua county,
late yesterday. His two companions
who were with him escaped, but one
carried shot from Dyal's gun and left
trail of blood behind.
George Dyal of Campville was driv-
ing around in his Ford roadster late
Sunday afternoon when he saw three
white men walking along the Sea-
board track. They answered one OF
!, the descriptions that Sheriff Thomas
has scattered broadcast since the es-
cape of Sims, Lowell and Holton from
the Marion county Jail, Saturday
morning, and Dyal decided to hold
them up. He was unarmed, but stop
ped at neighbor's house and procur-
ed double-barreled shotgun; also the
company of young man, who offered
to go with him. They they took the
ispeed-limit off the Ford, and soor
lcaught up with the three men. Dyal
| jumped out and held the men up, be.
ling better satisfied when he saw them
closely that he had found the right
parties.
| Dyal told the men that they must
go to Gainesville, and if they proved
that they were all right they would b
set free. This seemed to suit them
The young man in Dyals roadster lef
the party at Dyal's request, to find s
bigger car to take the men to Gaines
vile.
| The three men walked quietly alons
for short distance. Dyal close behint
them. Coming near patch of scrub
the men made sudden dash for it
Sims was in the lead, and Dyal pullet
down on him, hoping by shooting hin
to stop the other two. Sims fell. bu
the others kept on. Dyal fired again
and another fugitive staggered, bu
didn't stop, and by the time the gui
was reloaded both were out OF range.
Sims did not live long after beini
shot. It is likely the other two vii
soon be captured.
1t was supposed the fugitives ha'
help when they escaped, but their ap
pearance within forty miles of Ocal
two days after they broke out of jai
shows they were unaided. 1t is prob
able that all Saturday and Sunda,
they slipped stealthily thru the woods
perhaps buying food at isolated place
where there were no phones. As 500
!, as they thought they were at SAT
!. distance from Ocala, they stepped ou
on the railroad, where they were sur
to be seen and overhauled.
A negro. or a white man accustome
to the country, would have had
chance to escape. but these men fror
the north were like fish out of water.
Sims stole a number of overcoat
here a few weeks ago, and was boun
!. over to the circuit court. 1t is believe
he was really cracksman, and nj
object in entering houses was more
lfamiliarize himself with them than
steal the coats, as he was looking fo
a place to pull off bigger job.
Sheriff Thomas is in Alachua, aic
ing in the pursuit. A phone messag
from the Gainesville Sun at 500
m. said no more had been heard of tn
Ifugitives.

GAL RAITH'S LAST
MESSAGE TO LEGION
..(By Associated Press)

Louisville, Ky, June 30
There is mo reason why the Lee
gion, by the time the last pin
wheel buzzes out at 12:01 in the
morning of July 5, cannot have
doubled it membership. Are you
with me?"
In these words, F. w. Gal
braith, National Commander of
the American Legion, concluded
what proved to be his final mes
sage to members Of the former
service mems organization. 1t is
being sent to the various Ken
lucky posts.
The last message of the now
dead leader was an appeal to the
members of the organization to
increase its membership. He set
aside the period from July 4 un-
til the third national convention
in Kansas City on October 81 for
an intensive membership cam
paign.
Colonel Ga,traieh's final mes
sage was:
eve must have more member
ship. Every member get a mem
Der and the job is done. And the
day I've set aside for the begin
ming of the intensive effort is a
day most fitting. 1t is the Fourth
of July. From then until Octo-
Der 31st when the third national
convention will open in Kansas
City the order of the day will be
every member get a member.
What day? Any day. But if
YOU can turn your trick the very
first day of all-the Fourth of
July-your biz is done. And
there is no reason it cannot be
done on that day No reason
why the Legion, by the time the
last pinwheel buzzes cut at 1901
on the morning of July fifth can
not have doubled its member
ship. Are you with me?"
