We're the three. The Grand vizier and
fourth member of the order, Babe De-
nance Ruth. Is In the woods somewhere
hunting. No. 1t isn't trouble the Great
Defer is hunting, for he has had enough
of that lately, and though he Is In the
woods how soon he will be out of them
depends on Judge Landis Meusel.
Plercy and Sheehan wanted their world
series jack. but were told by Secretary
Barrow that This would be sent out
individually and directly from the Com
missioners office.
The committee in charge of the
Christy Mathewson testimonial on Sep
tember 30 last yesterday sent to the
former pitcher check for $50 0O0 part
of the proceeds of the affair. There
will be more than that. The fund is
about $4,000, and uncalled for rain
checks will bring it TO 100000. Most
OF those who went were good enough

Tho chief question that enters into
the contest at the Pioneer Sporting Club
Tonight between Gene Tunney, the pride
of Greenwich Village, and Magnus Lar
sen. who has changed his first name to
Wolf, is whether the latter will succeed
in landing one of his punches on TIM
ney. Larsen is anything but wolf in
activity: He moves about with the
speed OF tired OK, and the science of
boxing rs as n closed book to him. Yet
he takes punishment with contemptuous
composure, and he is content to accept
ten stiff punches in the nose If he can
manage to land one thump on his OPP
ponent. If he succeeds in getting homo
one or two solid punches on Tunney II
Is likely the Greenwich idol will curl up.
But the chances are against IL, for
Tunney is a wary bird when the other
fellow carries n punch in either mitt.
The chances are that Tunney will dis
arrange Larsen's countenancc and win
on points.

FISHERMEN DENIED
MORE NEW TERRITORY
Too Many Pound Nets ALREADY IL
North Carolina Inland
Waters

Petition of NIanns Harbor fishermen
for permission to fish pound nets IN
the middle of Croatan Sound between
Mashews Creek and Colingten, just
North of Roanoke Island, was denied
bv the State Fisheries Commission
Board in session here the other day
The Fisheries Commission was IN
clined to grant the petition OF the
AIanns Harbor fishermen but for the
fact that it would undoubtedly nave
been followed by numerous other petl-
tions for more restricted territory.
The truth is the Commission has al
ready granted too much territory Tor
pound net fishing and some OF the ter
ritory now occupied by pound nets
should be opened up. There are more
than 1000 pound nets fished IN Nortn
Carolina inland waters and shad enter
ing these waters in quest of a spawn,
ing ground stand very little chance. Ii
something isn't done for the protectlor
and conservation of this fancy edible
fish it will be only a few years unu
the shad is as extinct in the waters VI
North Carolina as it is now practlcai1
extinct in the Connecticut ana Huosoi
rivers where it once abounded.

NOT ENOUGH TURKEYS
FOR ELIZABETH CITY
Local Dealers Couldn't Begin to Get
Enough Birds To Supply the
Christmas Trade

Many Elizabeth City homes went
without turkey for their Christmas
dinner because local marketmen could
MT buy enough turkeys to meet the de-
mand. The demand for turkeys on the
local market did not indicate anything
like hard times in Elizabeth City.
Dressed turkeys at 60 cents a pound
were in demand and the local dealers
sold OUT all of their poultry stocks one
lone goose was left over in the City
Market from Christmas.
Most of the local dealers found II
difficult to get turkeys this Christmas
Most of the farmers shipped their
fowls to the Norfolk market. Turkeys
sold at 60 cents to 75 cents "a pound
on the Norfolk retail market. Turkeys
did not sell so high in the North. some
retail dealers in New York City STUCK
ont for 20 cents a pound, but most
New Yorkers bought their Christmas
turkey at SO to 60 cents.

MADE PRESIDENT
SHRINE FOR LIFE
Unique Honor Conferred Upon
Chas. II. Robinson by Eliz-
abeth City Shrine Club

The Elizabeth City Shrine Club has
conferred an unique honor upon its
veteran member Chas. H. Robinson,
electing him honorary president CT the
club for the rest of his life. The
Shriners jus. had to do something to
show their appreciation of the grand
old man and that was the only thing
they could think of. W. P. Duff is the
active president Of the local Shrine.
Mr.. Robinson's honorary life presl-
dency of the Elizabeth City Shrine Club
comes about this way. Recently COM
mittee of the Shriners called on Mr.
Robinson to draw up lease on the
Clubs quarters occupying half of the
second floor of the Poindexter st. Rob
inson Building. The Committee want
ed to know just what concession Mr.
Robinson would make in the matter Of
a reduction in rents if the Club woulc
sign lease for 15 years. =
Mr.. Robinson shifted, rubbed his nose
with the second knuckle of his foretin
ger, twitched the corner of his mouti
and told the Committee with all sever
itv that he would lease them thei
quarters for a fat sum of $40 a yeal
for Is years. The Committee nearl!
tainted. And that's how Mr.. Robinson
came to be unanimously elected presl
dent for life.

HOW CHAIRMAN DIXON'S
HEAD. GOT SCRATCHED UP

A pretty and popular Edenton miss
whose name must be withheld figured
in a mild sensation in Pullman sleep
er on a Norfolk Southern train, No, 4,
at Edenton the other morning. The
Young miss had occupied lower berth
No. 10 in the car from Raleigh. When
she got off at Edenton she discovered
that she had left her rings in berth
lower 10. She rushed back to the
train and dashed into the Pullman and
to berth lower 10. Rudely jerking the
curtains aside she plunged into the
berth, thrusting both hands under the
pillows where she had deposited hel
rings. She thrust both hands under
the pillows in the darkness and dis
covered that she had her arms arounf
the neck of a modest little baldlheadee
man. Instead of getting back into tne
car from, Raleigh, pretty Miss Edento1
had entered the car from New Ber1
and had gotten hold of j. X. Dixon
| Chairman of the State Fisheries Com
mission. who was enroute to Ellzaoetl
Citv. In her excitement at finding
man. occupying the berth which sn
thought she had just vacated, the youn
lady didn't do a thing to Mr.. \Dlxol
but try to tear his remaining hair Out
And that's why Chairman Dlxo
showed up in Elizabeth City wit
scratches ali over his head.

Christmas Thieves Got Mrs. PendIe-

Doctor Had 'Em Insure

Not even a pair of Christmas thieves
could get the goat of DR.. A. l.. Pendle-
ton, Post Master, Bank President,
Pharmacist and Wholesale Druggist of
Elizabeth City, tho a pair OF thieves
entered his home about seven O'Clock
Christmas night and stole about $500
worth of jewelry and wearing apparel
The theft didn't worry DR.. Pendleton
overmuch because he had an insurance
policy of $1,000 covering the very items
stolen. He took out the policy about
the time the Lowry boys were raldlng
Elizabeth City homes four or five years
ago and had kept it up ever since. The
policy covered the family jewels and
wearing apparel and contained a clause
cotering wines, beer and whiskey. Dr.
Pendleton had the latter clause strlck-
er out and the thieves never touched
| his cellar at all. He is convinced that
| if he had let the insurance cover his
| LIQUID refreshments at all he wouldn't t
have had spike left for his Christmas
punch. The burglary of the Pendleton
residence was effected while the fam
lily was out for dinner

Act of Incendiary Cost j. j. Morris
Near $1,000 With Only $500
Insurance.

J. J. Morris, prominent young
farmer of Salem Township = in this
county, suffered a loss of $1,000 to S.
900 covered by only $500 insurance
when some one set fire to warehouse
on his farm at o'clock Saturday
morning. Dec. "a The warehouse or
barn was an immense structure on
which Mr. Morris had recently spent
more than $1,000 in repairs. 1t con-
tained $500 bushels of corn, about l.
900 bushels of soy beans and many
farm implements and machines. Inc
fire was started from corner OF the
building on the outside and was dis
covered too late for the owner to save
it.
Mr., Morris has only one clue to- the
origin of. the fire. A few weeks age
he found several bags of soy beans CON
ceaIed in some underbrush in the woods
on his farm. Believing the beans tc
have been stolen from him, he recoE:
