diately upon its leaving Fort Worth and would hold
up the messenger in charge of the mails; that when
the train reached the place where the mail to be
thrown of the messenger would be killed
With full knowledge of the arrangements, in
eluding the fact that it planned to kill him, Alvin S.
Page assistant chief clerk of the Railway Mail Service
at Fort WORTH volunteered to act as the messenger
TO be held up. McLendon also volunteered but Page
was selected owing to his more intimate knowledge
Of the bandits plans. Following the program, and
a. the time agreed upon, Page entered the and
assumed the role of messenger charge of the mails
Before the train left Fort Worth Postofice Inspec-

United States Marshal Douglas Campbell and Regu-

him to throw up his hands, dsarmed him and held
him covered while he required Page to deliver the
keys and pull the pouches to the DOOR The train
was then approaching the place where the bandits
had planned TO throw off the mail and Bandit Morris
required Page to open the door for this purpose.

Find Mail in Torn Sacks.

CTARTLED by the revelation that average of
- fifty parcels of second, third and fourth class
mail and twenty letters found daily in empty mail
sacks the mail bag repair shop in Washington
for repairs, Postmaster General Hays last week issued
orders for the immediate inspection of nearly 100000
sacks and 100000 pouches which sent to the de-
postories at Boston, New York. Atlanta, Cincinnati

storage distribution in order to ascertain if other
mail in like manner has become lost
Special delivery letters and parcels frequently
found, it discovered. Some letters bear recent
posmarks and others old postmarks. Even first class
mail with uncanceed stamps is often shaken out of
sacks which would indicate that this particular mail is
left in the sack after the collections by city collectors
are supposed to have been completely removed.
Such mail when found will be specially marked
that the addressee may know the of the delay
Under the orders issued by the Postmaster General
postmasters are to be held strictly responsible to
that every mail sack and pouch is hereafter thoroughly
inspected before it. is cast aside stored. There

pouches used in the postal service.

CANTRILL URGES BURLEY MEN
TO POOL TOBACCO THIS YEAR

Congressman J. Campbell Cantrill
returned to Lexington Saturday
from his tobacco campaign in Henry
county. He said he had had good
crowds everywhere he had spoken
and that the keenest interest was
manifested. He said that he had
found a number of growers who
were ready to sign as soon as the
proposition was explained to them
and that he felt sure the house-to-
house canvass to be put on this
week by Chairman II. X. Bourne
would result in putting the county
very near, if not, over its quota.
ut is my firm conviction that the
hurley tobacco growers will make a
serious mistake if they fail to in
clude this years crop in the market
ing pool of the Burnley Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association.
said Mr.. Cantrill. "If the growers
adopt the idea that the plan is q
good thing but that they will adopt
it next year, it simply means that
they will lose a lot of money on this
years crop, which they otherwise
would have made.

RECITAL ATTENDED
Nv LARGE CROWD

Probably a large number Of peo-
pie who attended the recital given
last Thursday night by Miss Eliza
beth Spencer and Mr.. Emil Bert at
the Tabb Theatre were at first puz-
zled and disappointed when they
discovered a photograph cabinet oc-
cupying the center Of the stage.
They hardly were reassured when
Mr.. Bertl appeared on the stage
and announced that Miss SPENCER
had been delayed and, rather than
disappoint the audience, a re-crea-
tion-he called it-of Miss Spencer
would be played on the photograph.
Our suspicious were confirmed. We
were to hear only a photograph.
But, little did we dream what an
amazing phonograph it was. Mss
Spencer's golden notes, emahating
from the grille of the New Edison,
scared over the auditorium in all
their beauty. Suddenly we heard
another voice, or rather the same
voice, coming from the rear of the
auditorium Tor behind the scenes).
Miss Spencer had arrived and was
singing in unison with her re-cre-
ated self. She continued singing
while walking toward the New Edi-
son. The effect of two voices, of
the same exquisite quality coming
from two different places, was in
deed a new sensation and brought
all under its magic spell Miss
Spencer reached the side of the New
Edison and, during the remainder
Of the song, paused from time 20
time, apparently at random, and
permitted her re-created perform
ance to be heard alone. This gave an
opportunity TO compare one with
the other. and it is no more than
INST to state that there was not the
slightest shade Of difference be-
tween created voice and original
voice.
In the course Of the evening sun
liar tests were made oy Miss Spen- I
Ger with the same miraculous result. I
There must have been a slight diff \
ference in volume when the artists I
stopped singing or playing. lut it
was not noticeable for the tone
which came from the cabinet was
round and luscious with all the vi !,
brant, pulsating quality of that
which came directly from Miss
Spencers throat and the instru-
inent. 1t was only by watching the
singers lipe that one could be sure
when she sang and when she did
not.
The proof was convincing If it
were not, another proof was offer
ed. After Miss Spencer had com
menced TO sing one number, the
lights were turned out ostensibly so
that the audience could not watch
the singers lips.
1t did not seem difficult to deter
mine in the dark when the singer
sang and when she did not. The
writer was pretty sure about it him
self until the lights were turned on
again and it was discovered that
Miss Spencer was not on the stage
at all ard that the New Edison alone
had been heard.
