DRAWING PLAN Of
SCHOOL BUILDING
Architect Havins Says Present
Building Can be Utilized in
Modern New Building

The suggestion of improved
school facilities for Dresden is as
suming concrete form. Mr.. Havins,
an expert architect from Jackson,
spent last Thursday here with the
committee, DR.. Copeland, W. ].
Jeter and Judge R. E. Maiden, go
ing over the premises.
Mr.. Havins boots at the idea of
salvaging the present building. He
states that it Is entirely too good to
consiled tearing down and that
building both meeting the needs
and attractive can be constructed
by adding to the present school
building. Some of US had enter
tanned the idea that we could not
profitably use the present building
and get what we want in modern
attractive school building, but Mr..
Havins says we can.
More than that, he proposes to
show us, and after taking measure
ments, ETC., he agreed to submit
plan of a building he would recon-
mend, using the present structure.
In fact, he explained how it could
be done and the committee feels
that the building Mr.. Havins will
recommend or suggest will meet
all requirements and be the most
attractive public building in the
county.
Besides the grades now taught
at this school, the building to, be
suggested will give a large audito-
rum, extra class rooms, a music
room, gymnasium, domestic science
room, etc., all built with al
view of light and proper ventilation.
He hopes to have the plan COM
pleted within a few days and in the
hands of the local committee and
upon its receipt here a conference
will be had and the matter entered
into in detail.
1t is encouraging to note the
growing sentiment for a school
building Here and that the bond
issue route for procuring it meets
with popular favor. Practically no
opposition to a bond issue is mani

DRESDEN LOSES
EST|MABLE MAN
w. R. Bobbitt Claimed bv
Death Thursday Morning
4:30. Former Druggist

Mr.. w. R. Bo5b,tt, for 81 Years
in the drug business here, died
Thursday morning at 4;30 at tho
home Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Jones.
where he had liver for the past SIN
teen years.
Mr.. Bobbitt's death was not un-
expected. He had been a sufferer
of heart trouble for more than a
year, and for many months had
been unable to be at his place of
business. On Sept. l he sold his
drug business to Bernice Terrell
and retired entirely from business.
Mr.. Bobbitt came here in 1884
and entered the drug business, re-
naming almost constantly at his
post for 81 years. 1t has been said
of him that he gave his business
more of his undivided attention
than any other business man Ores
den ever hadHe seldom went away.
When prescriptions were to be fill
ed at night, he did it. The question
of whether a man had the money
to pay for a prescription never re-
ceived consideration from Mr.. Bob
bitt-if the man or a member of
his family were sick and needed
medicine Mr.. Bobbitt supplied it.
He was a most liberal, generous,
public-spirited citizen. He spoke
evil of no one. He had no enemies,
but, upon the other hand, every
one loved and admired Walter Bob
bitt. The esteem in which he was
held was manifest during his con-
finement. Friend after friend vol
unteered services in sitting up and
waiting on him. He was devout
christian gentleman and member
of the Methodist church, in which
he had served as a member of the
board of stewards.
In his death Dresden loses a most
estimable man--cne whose place
will never be filled. He was a broth
err to Mr.. Billie Bobbitt, residing
near Liberty, in the 10th district.
During his entire illness Mr.. Bob
bitt received at the hands of every
of Mr.. Jones' family that
kind consideration that made him
feel perfectly at home, and that he
was fortunate in being thrown
among these dear, good, kind
friends. Nothing was left undone
by any of them for his comfort.
pleasure and ease. No mother ever
gave her babe more tender, affec-
donate care than Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones, Rogers, Marguerite and
Harold gave Mr.. Bobbitt. We can
but feel this much is due the fam
ly.
Funeral services will be held to-
morrow friday afternoon, fol-

Popular Minister

Rev. Joseph Cornell and family
are preparing to leave Dresden in
few days to take up the pastorate at
Carlisle, Ky.
Rev. Cornell for the past year
has been the missionary of the

Enthusiastically called for another
year, but, after much deliberation,
decided to accept the unanimous
call to the Carlisle church. He was
urged to remain here as missionary,
but could not feel that duty called
that way. So he goes from us. A
host of friends are sorry he is Ieav-

ORGANIZATION FOR
FIFTH R. c. ROLL
DR.. J. L. Jones is Made Coun.
ty Chairman. Campaign
Begin on Armistice Day

Red Cross workers who assemble,
here last week at the Red Crost
Home Service office perfected al
organization for the Fifth Roll Call
which begins on Armistice Day.
Nov. II, continuing to Nov. "a
two weeks
DR.. ]. L. Jones of Dresden was
unanimously chosen as county chair
man; C. H, Moran, vice-chairman
E. E. Byars, treasurer, and Miss
Mildred Fuller, secretary.
This county organization or cen.
trail committee will lay plans al
once for co-workers and assistants
in every district in the county, per.
fecting the district organizations in
ample time to start the work on
Nov. IL.
Let it be understood that the
Fourth Roll Call was a flat failure
in Weakley county, and because of
this lack of interest and poor re-
spouse upon the part of all the home
Service office here came very near
being closed during the past sum-
mer because of lack of funds to
continue the work. This work is
more necessary now than at any
time in the past. Those of us who
daily pass the office and see the
large number of ex-service men call
ing at the office of Miss Tansil ap-
preciate to the fullest extent what
the Red Cross is doing for the men
who saw service in the great world
war.
But this is only small part of
the great good the Red Cross is
doing for which the funds received
from the annual membership fee of
only 81 is used. In some counties
there are Red Cross nurses-all
paid for out Of the Roll Call men,
bership funds.
Naturally, every citizen wants to
have a part in this good work, and
his or her opportunity is through the
payment of membership fees,
amount to only 81 per year. Just
a few short years ago-three years
ago-most of US thought we never
would permit our Red Cross MEN,
bership to lapse through failure to
pay the puny membership fee Of 81.
We felt that for the great service
the great organization had render
ed our boys in the dark days "over
yonder" we wanted continual men,
bership. But last year we got nigh
ty busy making money and some Of
us" forgotv ./
Now is the time to remember.
Don't wait for some one to solicit
your membership fee.

averted last night at the Atlantic Gar
dens Picture Theater, 80 Bowery,

years old. of a7l 3roome Street, a
printer, rushed into the place shouting.
that he had been shot. Manfriedona

prevented injury to excited women
and children.
Manfriedona told Patrolman Otto
Hettner, of the Elizabeth Street sta
ton, that he had entered the theater
with William Frino, of 131 Mott Street.
While they were sitting in the rear of
the house man, whom neither Man
1rledona nor Frino could identify,
tapped the former on the shoulder and
told him his brother wanted to see him
at the entrance. Manfriedona stepped
out. he said, to be confronted by man
who held a revolver to his head and
robbed him Of $500. AS the robber
| started away Manfriedona grappled
with him and was shot in the groin
tie then ran back into the theater.
Manfriedona was taken to the Vol
unteer Hospital. Primo was held as a
witness pending the further examine
tion OF the wounded man.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-TWO
school boys, who, the police say, admit
they were with third lad wanted for
the killing OF Edward Everett Hatch
who was shot to death last Saturday
at Delair, N. j., were arrested here
this afternoon
The two boys were taken from their
classrooms to police station, where
they gave their names as Walter

David Augustin, twelve. Both of them
live in Frankford
They both broke down and cried,
blaming the death Of Hatch on George
Conn, nineteen-year-o youth, who
has vanished from his home in Frank
ford since Saturday. 1t is believed
Conn may be in New York.
At police headquarters the boys

den, N. j. They separately related in
g most graphic manner the scenes
which led up to the killing,
"On Saturday afternoon the three
of us set across the river in our canoe
to trap muskrats," the boys are quoted
as saying. Conn saw a man lying on
the bank with a revolver sticking out
of his pocket. He waded to land and
dipped the man of his revolver, which
was so automatic. Conn also had a
.22-caliber pistol loaded with blank
cartridges.
"At Delair the three Of us got out
and Conn walked into Hatch's boat
house. Mr.. Hatch came running up to
the boathouse and they got into fight.
During the struggle Hatch grabbed
the automatic which Conn had stolen,
but Conn got it back. Conn then fired
two shots from the blank cartridge
pistol at Mr.. Hatch's head and ran.
Mr.. Hatch ran after him and caught
him in the shallow water near The
shore. Conn showed Hatch away, and
drawing the revolver again from his
pocket, said to Hatch:
"Tll put piece of steel in your

Four Employees of
Bank Indicted for
1'hefts of S5,153
Bonding Companies Said to
Have Paid Loss TO Chat
ham and Phenix National
Co.; One Man Disappears

Four employees in three Of the
!. branches of the Chatham and Phenix
National Bank were indicted yesterday
by the Federal grand jury on the
charge of embezzlement of funds. The
amount alleged to have been stolen
aggregates s5,153, according to Assist
ant United States District Attorney
Louis d. Schwartz. The accused men
are:
Henry c.. Rolph, an assistant book
keeper in the Bowery and Grand Street
branch; Samuel Rosenberg, employed
in the same capacity in the same
teller in the Broadway and Hath
Street branch; Richard B. Giffard, note
teller in the Broadway and Eighteenth
Street branch.
The losses are said to have been
made good to the bank by the surety
companies bonding the men.
Mr.. Schwartz said last night that the
thefts were first discovered by bank
examiners, and that the Federal inves-
tigation, which resulted in the finding
of the indictments, followed. He added
that other employees of the institution
are under investigation.
There appears to have been no un-
derstanding between the accused men
Gh't tHSy e1S alieESu W baNS worked
Independently of each other. Rosen-
berg, whose alleged thefts, amounting
to $1,375, are said to have occurred in
May, 1920, has confessed, according to
Mr. Schwartz.
Clifford is alleged to have drawn
drafts for $1,139 on bank in Seattle
and, after cashing them in the Phenix
National, to have taken his departure
for parts unknown. The indictment
also accuses him of taking $3.50 worth
of revenue stamps.
Healy, receiving teller in the Wash
ington Heights branch of the bank, is
charged with the embezzlement of
SLIT in four different thefts.
The alleged entertainments of Rolph
are said to have occurred during the
last twelve months and to aggregate
1882.
Judge Hand yesterday directed the
issuance of bench warrants for the
four men and set May 16 as the date
for pleadings in the cases.

Own Fault, Weeks Says of
Mem Wrongly ON Stacker List

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Inclusion of
names of men who served in the army,
navy or marine corps in the War De-
partment lists of draft deserters is "di-
rectly attributable to the men them
selves, who, after having entered the
service in some other locality, failed
to apprise their respective local boards
OF that fact, Secretary of War Weeks
declared to-day in statement defend
ing the army draft lists.
Secretary Weeks said that it was not
incumbent upon the army authorities
to seek out every registrant and see
that his record was correct. He said
that wide publicity had been given to
the departm ent's intention to publish
the names Of all men charged with de-
sertion and that men who had had any
doubts about their status and had made
no effort to have their records straight
ened out, have no just cause for COM
plant.

The bandits, who occupied three auto

Entering the collectors car, the ban

out several bags containing collections
from various barns, returned to their
automobile and escaped.
