Seek Reward
Mann Endeavoring to Track False
Alarm of Fire Friday and Get
500 Offered by Gazette

Spurred on by the reward Of 500
offered yesterday by the Alexandria
Gazette .or the arrest and conviction
cf the party or parties who turned IN
the false alarm of fire last Friday
night a number of people today arc on
a still! hunt to land the reward.
All engaged in the task are bend
ing their energies along this line and
many theories are being advanced by
some Of the amateur detectives as to
h2w it was done.
Scmc II those working on the case
assert that it is possible that the
alarm might have been turned in by
someone cutting in on the wires
from th. outside. Various other ideas
as to how Il was turned in also are
being advanced and doubtless many
of the theories have merit.
Hope is expressed by a NUMBER
working on the case that they can
solve the problem before long. Just
how. il will be done none are at this
time w:l'..n. to say. As stated in an
other column of The Gazette cer1i-
fled cheek for the sum Of 500 has
been placed in the hands of Chief of
Police c. T. Goods. 1t will oe paid at
once upon the arrest and conviction

firmed. Tariff will &c hastenel to

"Th!s work." said Pcc,osc. will

taxpayers will receive assurances OF

Immediately.

still hope in the business world and
it doubtless will be hailed with sat

ances that the excess profits taxes
will be abolished and the income
taxes will be reduced all along the
line to the collection point.
This point was carefully figured
oat in tic old days. notably in the
taxes of whisky; almost to math-
emo,ical point beyond which it was
argued that less revenue was oo-
taipcd under higher than lower
tax. 1t mas become evident tina:
there is a collection point in income

TAHlTIANS WILD ABOUT AUTOS
Natives Bedeck Themselves With
Fragrant Flowers and Embark
on Joy Rides.

Papeete, Tahiti.-In OIden days
when Tahiti native wished to refresh
his soul he decked himself with the
islands fragrant flowers, obtained a
goodly supply Of raw sugar rum and
retired on foot to some shady valley
to enjoy himself. Now he travels In
an automobile to his retreat, for the
island is full of light machines.
Wounded bark of acacia trees along
the avenue Patua to Papeete, showing
where sundry machines driven by ma
tives have carOmed from tree to tree,
bears grim witness to the wild rides
taken by some Of the Tahitians. Lately
the government has stepped in and
made the roads comparatively safe for
pedestrians.
All sorts of machines are found here
bright cars, shining with glistening
enamel cars of ancient vintage, with
brass radiators green with verdigris,
steering gear tied with wire, and cars
Of every degree and condition Of re-
pair.
When this invention of the "popaa,"
as the white man is called, came to the
island some years ago the natives fell
upon it with glad cries. Every Tahitian
who could get credit mOrtgaged his
land or his relatives land and fastened
to get car, and for months the island
was ringed with a thick cloud of vel
low dust. Below the cloud were dim
shapes of "jitneys" filled to overflow
ing with yelling kanakas, rushing
through the fog and the shadow out
lines of wild-eyed pedestrians jumping
nimbly for the shelter Of the largest
tree trunks on the side Of the high
way.

FIUME TRADE STILL SLUMPS
Discussions Keep Port Idle While
Rival Starts Ship Lines to Grab
Trade. ~

Fiume.-Fiume fingers In the dol
drums so far as resumption OF the
once world-renowned trade of this port
is concerned, while the new state Of
JugosIavia is pressing forward in an
effort to take the trade with America
that Fiume held before the war.
Political quarrels in this city and
international disputes keep the
wharves of Fiume idle, but in JugO-
slavia a company has been formed to
establish a line Of steamers to Oper-
ate from SpalatO, Ragusa and Cat
tarO to New York.
Already small steamers are being
operated along the whole Dalmatian
coast under the Jugoslav flag, but they
do not touch at Fiume. formerly the
chief port for this trade.
The Italian suggestion and amalga'
nation of the port Of Fiume and the
port of Baross, has been rejected by
the JugOslavs, who claim complete
sovereignty over the port Of BarOss,
and with it the town Of Sussak, all Of
which, they contend, Is in keeping with
the treaty Of RapallO.
An italian naval commander, Cap
tain FOschini, has been designated by
the Italian government to take charge
of the city Of Fiume in an effort to
adjust the differences between the
contending groups inside the town.

Rain Aids Feed Crops

Steady rains during the past week

according to reports received by the
Commercial Appeal last night, The
normal rainfall for the month of
August already has been exceeded,
and while August is not record
breaking month in the matter Of

month has been very unusual.
Reports covering every locality
in Shelby county and widely scat
tered communities in Mississippi
and Arkansas show that the rains
have done more good than harm.
The only i'll effect noted is the in
creased activity of the boil weevil
and many communities report the
work of the pest as doubled during
the past four or five days In Shell

Landess, the county agent, damage

A message from Senatobia,

Finds His Lost
Mule, Fortune Teller

About six weeks ago Mr.. Albert
Derden lost a mule from the past
.1une east of town. He was sure the
mule did not break out Of the past
ure and equally as sure that it had
been stolen. The entire country was
combed for the animal, but to no
avail and finally, in desperation
almost, Mr.. Derden went to a for
tune teller down near Newbern, and
was told that his mule had been
stOlen-a fact which he was already
sure of, as was everyone else; but
further told Derden that the mule
was sold by two boys and would be
found in the vicinity of Mayfield.
Mr.. Derden went to Benton, KY,
one day this week and telephOned
home Wednesday that he had the
mule; that it had been sold for $65.
