Washington, Aug Having been warned by the United States against resisting the Costa Rican government in assuming jurisdiction over the long disputed Coto terri tory, Panama late today notified the State Department that there would be no occasion for friction and that her forces in the disputed territory would he withdrawn.
 Tn view of Panama's decision to yield to the inevitable without fur ther resistance. it is probably that American marines now en route to the lsthmian republic to police the transfer of jurisdiction to Costa Rica will not be landed

THIEVES MAKE HAUL OF SUGAR
 FROM BOX CAR
Nine Sacks Found in Culvert
 Big Pete" Fires Shot at Three Men in Automo- bile.
From Thursdays Daily Fress)


 Local thieves attempted a big sug- ar haul near the round house last night but they failed to get away withs it. They got fired into with an automatic gun in the hands of Special Officer Big Pete" Peterson and made their get away in rapid fashion. The shot failed to take effect so far is known.
 Yesterday afternoon Arthur, the little son of John T. Osteen who resides near the round house was going along the railroad track and discovered nine sacks of sugar con- cealed in a culvert of the road bed. He reported his find to his parents and they gave notice to the officers of the presence of the stolen goods.
 Apparently, the sugar was taken from sbox ear on the night pre- vious but for some reason the thieves were unable to haul it away. Per haps they got more than an auto mobile load from the car, or took
 
 dispose of in one nights time, leav- ing the remainder to be hauled last night.
 Officer Peterson, who had been detailed by the railroad officials to watch developments, stationed him self near the scene and last night at II o'clock three men drove up in an automobile One man re mained in the car while the other two went after the sugar. Just as they were ill the act of carrying the bags to the car, officer Peterson opened fire with his automatic. Only one shot was fired. At the crack of the gun there was wild scir- mage for the car and it was off into the dark like a flash.
 The stolen sugar will be held till the broken ear is located.

TRACTOR MAN
 CHARGED WITH
 DOING DAMAGE
Drives Dill Tractor Upon Paving and is Cited to Appear Before Police Judge Ratten.
(From Thursday Daily Press ]

(From Thursdays Daily Press)
 G. A. Dill, of the Dill Tractor Company of Little Rock. was arrest ed this morning on warrant issued late yesterday afternoon upon in~ formation filed by Police Judge Bat ten charging him with doing dam ge to the street paSing~by driving q Dill tractor upon the city's thorough fares.

 It is stated that individuals made of the tractor did damage to. the paving These complaints were carried to the Police Judge and he, acting upon the information thus lodged with him, issued a warrant of arrest.
 MT Dill told Press representative this morning that he was of the impression that he had been granted permission to run the vehicle over the streets and believing that it would do no damage proceeded to drive it across town from the East side to the beginning of the Wal colt road. He said he had per formed the same act upOn the streets of Little Rock where the thorough fares were made of material simi~ lar to the kind used in building ParagOuld streets, without incurring legal disfavor

TREADWAY BOY WAS RESIDENT
 OF FONTAINE
Young Man Killed at Gar nett, Kan, Finally lden- tified as Having Lived In Greene County.

l.ahe TreadWay, the young man killed by a train at Garnett, Kan, last week an account of which was published in this paper and the identification of whom caused much speculation here, formerly resided at Fontaine. small town located in the extreme southwest corner of Greene county This information has been established through Ethel COX ex-county clerk, who remembers the young man during the process of the soldiers draft in the early days of the world war when all young men of draft age in the county were required to place themselves in touch with Mir. Cox.
 Young Treadway was about 24 years of age at the time of his death, according to the opinion of MT. Cox. The latter told a Press representative this morning that he distinctly remembers the youth. and he probably had moved 10 Joiner Arkansas. since the time he was in Par8gould upon the draft mis- sion The message from the Sheriff at Garnett stated that the young man killed had papers on his per son indicating that he was from Joiner. Joiner is a small station situated on the Frisco railroad and is but a short distance from Fon- taine.
 It is said that Young Treadway was an orphan and that his mind was of feeble nature. At the time of the draft he caused the members of the board some appre- hensim, due to his failure to res pond to some of the orders of the boards activities. It was soon dis covered however, that his mental condition was responsible for his peculiar actions and his case was accordingly classified.
 It is presumed the young mar was riding a freight train without permission and that he fell and his body mangled before his fate wa, discovered by the officials in the Kansas town.

 MAN IS HELD
 FOR MURDER
J. D. Dawes Detained on Charge of Killing Mrs. Alma Curry and Daughter Near Nettleton.

Joneshoro. Aug. 25.-J. D. Davis has been arrested on an affidavit made by Mrs Mary Gray, charging that he was connected with the mur- der of Mrs. Alma Curry and her daughter last month near Webb $ Mill. F miles east of Jonesboro Da- wis is in jail without bond and will be held for further developments
 The affidavit charges that Davis killed the women by beating them to death with a club Mrs Gray swears that she saw a man fitting the description of Davis with the woman and child just after they got off the train.
 She will come here today to iden- |tify the man under arrest. Davis denies his guilt and says he will be
 bic to prove complete alibi.
 Davis was employed recently working the roads and has lived around here for two or three years Some people doubt if he had any connection with the killing, but it is said that other arrests are likely to follow Davis is about go years old
 The Curry woman and her 12- year-old daughter were killed the latter part of July in a mysterious manner about 12 miles from Jones boro on their way 10 a logging camp. Their bodies were found near he road and the woman's head had been almost decapitated by some c barn instrument

DILL TRACTOR
 IS DOING GOOD
 WORK ON ROADS
Demonstration of Implement Recently Purchased By Judge Honey Proves Sat- isfactory.

Demonstration work of the Dill tractor and Russell grader on the Walcott road, just west of the city, has proven very satisfactory. This is the opinion held by those who have watched the operations of the two machines and they are believing that County Judge Honey has made a good selection in choosing them The Judge has purchased the trae- tor at q cost of around $2.900 but the deal for the grader has not, we are told, yet been closed.
 The tractor has demonstrated that it possesses tremendous strength and the capacity for working under the most trying conditions, going with ease and freedom over all character of surface formations. The heavy blade of the grader was suid- ed to it's capacity depth in ditchlnS alongside the road, turning to the road bed the hard clay without the progress of the tractor To the average observer the tractor performed almost un- believable feats of strength.
 The work of demonstrating the tractor was under the direction of l.. R. Banks, mechanic and demon strator from the factory ill Little Rock, and G A. Dill, one Of the chief officials of the company. Dur ing the two or three days here the tractor they fam iliarized local men with the hand ling of the motor. who will be given charge of the road work to he done with the implement.
 The Dill tractor weighs less than (. .000 pounds, il is said, which is about one-third the weight of the one purchased by the county few years ago. and since discarded on account of the inability to do the work desired Of it. The former tractor, it is said, demolished bridges by reason of it's tremendous weight and was incapable Of per forming work on many sections of roads where the surface was uneven The Dill machine has de monstrated that il can go with ease and freedom over all sorts of sur faces, due to it's unusual and origi- nal design of construction.

famous air veteran, Brig Gen. E NJ
 Maitland, and all the other officers of the board except Lieut.. Wann,
 the commander of the ZR2.
 Starting from Howden, Tuesday
 morning on a test flight to Putnam,
 the big aircraft had been afloat for 34 hours, at times in bad wea-
 ther. and was returning to the
 Putnam airdrome at the time of
 the most terrible of it's kind in peace times.
 While flying about 900 feet over Hull spectators saw the ZR2 seem ingly buckle amidship and plunge downward over the city and into the Humber River. One theory of the cause of the disaster is that while the ships rudders were be- ing tested the giant craft took a sharp turn, which caused her frame
 work to buckle and that the explo- sion of gasoline tank completed the tragedy of the air The actual cause, however, never may be known. A rumor had been afloat for some days that the ZR-2 was structurally weak, but this was stoutly denied by all in authority.
 Thousands See Disaster. Tens of thousands of spectators saw several men climb outside the balloon and drop from the falling h ;.h and others jump into the Humber
 as the crippled craft came over the water As the dirigible struck the wreckage above the water was burn l any of the men caught inside to escape.
 Tugs immediately put out into the istream and brought ashore the five bulances to hospitals. Among these were the American quartermaster l N. 0. Walker. who died soon after l reaching the hospital from burns
 he had received. Lieut. Little also was rescued from the debris alive, 1 but succumbed to his injuries on reaching the infirmary. A rescue | tug pulled another American out of the water He was dead Inside | his coat was the Name Commander MaXfield", Early reports were to | the effect that Lieut. Esterly had
 been saved. Unhappily, this report ! proved to be without foundation. One member of the rescuing party
 said that when they got alongside
 the burning airship the pilot of the tug asked for volunteers to board one l part that still was almost intact Jumping upon the wreckage. the | rescuers ripped open part of the
 fabric, while part of the debris
 were pulled away by means of ropes The task was hazardous tone, because one of the ballOonettes I, Continued on Page Four
