Alleged Stolen Bonds
Worth $700Are Found
Bv Federal Officers

Three Liberty bonds of the aggre-
gate value of $500, alleged to have
been stolen two weeks ago from Cap
tain T. C. Locke, in charge of the
guard detachment at Camp Gordon,
were located in Atlanta Monday by
agents of the federal department of
justice. The refusal of a concern
in whose possession one of the bonds,
worth $500, was found, to relinquish
it to Captain Locke, may bring a
legal fight in the state courts, Vim
cent Hughes, of the department of
justice, declared.
Mr.. Hughes said that another COM
pany, in whose custody the two re-
manning bonds were found, expressed
a willingness to surrender them when
told they were the property Of Cap
tain Locke and had been stolen from
him. He charged that the other
company declined to turn over the
bond in it's possession after the bank
officials had been told by federal
agents the bond was stolen property.
Captain Locke reported the rob
berry ten days ago to the federal
agents. He said burglar broke in
the safe jim his office at the camp
and took the bonds. Mr.. Hughes said
the $500 bond was purchased from a
local pawnbroker by the company
holding it.

Negro Preacher
Kills Brother

,,SUMMERVILLE. Ga, April 10
Clarence Patterson, a negro preach
er, aged about twenty-one years, of
near Berryton, is in the county jail
here, charged with the murder Of his
brother, Thomas Patterson, a negro
youth, the killing being the culmina-
ton of quarrel over some clothes
Clarence Patterson accused his broth
err of going into his trunk and disar-
ranging his clothes. He became en-
ragged and went into the house and
threw Thomas clothes out in the
rain, and this resulted in a free-for-
all fight.
Clarence ran into the house and
took the shotgun from it's rack and
started after Thomas, who ran when
he saw his brother get the gun. Joe
Patterson, known throughout this
section as "Uncle Joe Pat" interven-
ed and tried to persuade Clarence to
put the gun up, but the enraged
negro got the weapon to his shoulder
and fired upon his brother while his
father held him and begged him not
to shoot. The entire load Of shot
struck Thomas in the left arm, just
below the shoulder. He was brought
20 Summerville for treatment, but
died on the operating table from loss
of blood.
Clarence has become greatly ex-
cited over his crime since being con-
fined in the county jail, and is al
most a raving maniac, according to
iail officials.

Alabama Polytechnic
Scores Success in
Scientific Process

AUBURN, Ala, April 19.-The
Alabama Polytechnique institute has
scored a success in new field of
endeavor. The department of phys
les of which DR.. B. A, Wooten is the
head, has perfected a process for
making a replica diffraction graft
ing for use in analysis Of light with
spectrum. Heretofore these have
been made in large laboratories in
Chicago, Baltimore, Boston and
abroad, by ruling with a diamond
the parallel lines direct upon the
metal or glass used in making the
instruments. This has proven a
very laborious an dexpensive process.
Used in all the physical, chemical
and astronomical laboratories of the
world for study of light properties
and the nature of substances which
are giving of fthe light, it was de.
sirable that simpler and less ex-
pensive process be found if possible.
And so it was that one of the
largest manufacturers Of scientific
instruments in this country submit
ted the matter to DR.. Wooten, who
after years EXPERIMENTATION and
study, has now succeeded in per-
fectlng what seems to be an en-
tirely satisfactory solution of the
problem. Under his process, the
gratings are easily and cheaply made
and are said to equal any now being
manufa ctured.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The
War Finance Corporation is gradual

cotton producers, and there is alto

poration has approved a prelim-
mary application of a southern bank
for an advance to assist in finance
bales of low grade cotton to Ger

The application of southern
bank was also approved in connec-
ton with the expectation of q small

for low grade cotton in Germany
and other European nations can be
opened up through cooperation be-

capital and exporting firms there
will be immediate improvement in
the cotton situation.

ment of six thousand bales of cotton
to Germany and a small shipment of
tobacco to Denmark. No industries
