CROCfRS INDICTED ON ARSON CHARGE THOMPSON AND EVANS Face Trial on Charge of Attempting to Burn Then Store-Say will
 Prove Innocence.

Indicted for arson, the offense al legged being an attempt to destroy by fire their business on West Mair street known as the West Side Gro cery on December 25, B. C. Thom- ason and Roy Evans, proprietors ot the store, were placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriff J. I. Summers to- day. They immediately made bond in the sum of $1,000 each to appear in | circuit court to answer the charge. The indictment followed an investi- gation by the grand jury, before which State Fire Marshal F. G. Lind sey and other witnesses appeared. The fire which threatened to destroy the store but which was extinguished by the local fire department before it gained much headway, was unques- tionably of incendiary origin, and the theory of the proprietors of the store was that burglars had footed the stock and attempted to burn the building to cover up their crime. The alarm was turned in about midnight Christmas night and it was discovered that the fire was confined to the space between the ceiling and the roof of the one-story building. After the blaze had been extinguished it was found that the space was stuffed with boxes, paper, straw and other in- l f1ammable material, all of which was saturated with coal oil or gasoline A hole about two feet square had been sawed through the ceiling. The grocery stock, it is stated, was ln- sured for S2,000.
 Messrs. Thomson and Evans said after the fire that sack of sugar and a large amount of other small gro ceries were missing, and they believed the store was robbed before the at- tempt to burn it was made. With reference to the indictment brought against them MT. Evans said today that they would unquestionably prove their innocence of the charge. "Al we ask is that the public withholc its judgment until we have an oppor- tunity to prove that the charge + utterly untrue" he said.
 The young men are half-brothers and are members of prominent ane respected family of this city. MT Thomson was for many years con nected with the Conway postoflce serving first as clerk and later as as sistant postmaster for several year under Postmaster H. B. Ingram an' as acting postmaster during the m terim between MT. 1ngram's reslgna tion and Postmaster E. A. Brennan appointment. The store which the! are conducting was opened last year
 The case has not yet been dockete' for trial and it is not known whether it will be brought up for hearing al the present. Signers of the bal bond for the defendants are W. F Thomason, w. w. Westmoreland, U H. Newborn, o. o. Florence and Jf Frauenthal.

CHICAGO MAN CLAIMS
 GREENWICH VILLAGE
fRy limited Press)

Chicago, Jan 13.-H. Wilkins Bloodgood, of Chicago, descendant of George Clinton, pioneer governor of New York and vice president of the United States during the admins trations of Thomas Jefferson and James Adams, was preparing today to bring suit against the city of New York and the heirs of John Jacob Astor for the possession of the site of Greenwich Village.
 The basis of the suit is the sale of what is now Greenwich Village by Governor Clinton in 1895 to John Ja- cob Astor. At the time of the sale, the governor owned the property on which the village now stands and other real estate extending to the water front. The sale, according to Bloodgood, specifically exempted the waterfront, but it is now claimed that through graft and workings of the famous Tweed ring in New York years ago the property exempted had been appropriated to persons having no right to it.
 Citizen Genet, of France, whose name was familiar in early American history, and who married the only daughter of Governor Clinton, fought for the land, but politics and poverty defeated his efforts, according to Bloodgood.
 The heirs of Governor Clinton re- gently obtained copy of the map of the original Astor estate, accord ing to Bloodgood, and again the bat tie is to be fought through the courts.

ROOSEVELT WAS
\ T|MID YOUTH,
LETTERS REVEAL
Three Documents in His
Handwriting Throw In
teresting Light on Char
aCter of Future President.
tBy The Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 26.-Three let
ters in the handwriting of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, presented recently
to the Roosevelt Memorial associa-
ton, throw interesting light on the
early character OF the future pres
ident whose birthday will be cele-
brated tomorrow throughout the
country.
The great Americans modesty as
a young man, verging nearly on
timidity, is disclosed in a note &C
cepting the offer of a trusteeship
of the New 1orl; infant asylum.
The letter was written to DR..
Henry ID. Nicoll, then head of the
asylum, in 1891, the year when
Roosevelt, then 23 years old, took
his seat in the state assembly,
His absolute inexperience, /"
Roosevelt wrote, would prevent his
being of much use," but, with a
determination also evidenced in
another letter to DR.. Nicoll, he
promised to try my best"
Ten months later, in 1882, he
wrote DR.. Nicoll again, expressing
pleasure in accepting the position
as trustee, but adding:
II only fear that | will by no
means come up to your eXpecta-
tions. But / shall do my best"
Roosevelt's early love for out
door life, a characteristic which
had much to do with the molding
of his later life, and his admira-
ton for picturesque characters in
frontier history, come to the front
in the third letter, written in 1880
40 Richard Watson Glider, editor
OF Century magazine.
The letter is in a nervous, hasty
script and was written from Wash
ington, where Roosevelt was hold
ing his first federal office, that
of civil service commissioner.
In it he appealed to Mr.. Glider
TO have a biography or sketch OF
Kit Carson's life written and
pointed out that Carson and his
comrades were "men of real mark
and their work "of utmost conse-
Iquence and should not be allowed
to be forgotten"--the same appeal
now being sent out broadcast by
the Roosevelt Memorial assocla'
stions to perpetuate the memory OF
Theodore Roosevelt.
He suggested that Mr.. Glider
Obtain an article on civil service
reform from Cabot Lodge" who
he said, was "a man of note. and
rising one in his party"
At that time Senator Lodge was
"a representative in congress. Al
Roosevelts suggestion the articles
were written by Mr.. Lodge in the
magazine during that and the fol-
lowing year. -

HARDING GIVEN
NOISY WELCOME
At BIRMINGHAM
President Admonishes North
and South to Put Aside
Old Prejudices and Solve
the Race Problem.
tBy The Associated Press.)

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. go
North and South, whites and
blacks, were admonished by Pres
ident Harding today to put aside
old pretudices and pretenses and
set the face of the nation cour-
ageously toward a constructive
and permanent solution of the
race problem.
In a sweeping presentation OF
his views, which was received
with varying manifestations or
emotion by crowd of several
thousand whites and negroes, the
president declared social equal
ity between the races must not
be considered a possibility but
that the black man must have
an increased political, economic
and educational opportunity II the
American nation is to live true to
It's traditions of democracy.
The address, one OF five de-
livered by the president during a
days visit to the Birmingham
semi-centennial celebration, was
driven home with vigorous ges-
ture and deliberate utterances. He
spoke with manifest determine
alton to make the announcement
one of the most plain spoken OF
his administration.
The crowd was packed in the
inadequate confines of Woodrow
Wilson park, and many hundreds
on the outskirts, apparently I'M
able to hear, kept up a hub-bub
which made his declarations in
audible to all but those close by.
Repeated cheering swept the
segregated sections allotted to the
negroes, as they caught portions
of the speech. In the white sec
ton there were occasional rip
pies of applause as the signifi-
canoe of a phrase here and there
was realized and pondered by
those near the speaker.
In other parts of the city Mr..
Harding was received with a
succession OF intensive demonstra-
tions. For mile he rode
through crowds In parade, a
roar of cheering accompanying
him. He was cheered nearly a
minute when he appeared to
speak at luncheon and he re-
ceived repeated applause as, at
tired in cap and gown, he ad-
dressed students of Birmingham
Southern college and then. wear
ing Masonic apron, he laid the
corner stone Of new Masonic
| temple.
Throughout the day the presi'
dent insisted that his visit was
wholly non-partisan. and every
where he was accompanied by
Senator Underwood to stand al
his side and shake hands witt
each of those in line. and In hi'
luncheon address he paid a warn
tribute to the craftsmanship Of
the senator. During the early
evening he paid call on Mr.
Underwood's mother.
