SWINDLING GAME ARTISTS CAP
TURED IN ALABAMA.
Pocket Book Scheme Worked on
Aged Man-DetectiVe Singleton TO
Alabama to Bring Couple Back to
Citl.

Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. 22.-AAmos
Green, aged Colored man was the
victim of the famous pocket book
trick and suffered to the tune of
$120, due to his inclination to take
into his confidence strangers, and
men whom he had never before seen
Will Chairman and William Derrick,
young Negro men had Swallowed the
aged man for several days and saw
him coming from a local bank. Sus-
pecting that he had funds there they
selected him for their subject and
he proved to be easy prey. They
happened" to pass along and pick
up a booklet book. Chairman had
engaged the aged man in CONVERSE
ton, when he suddenly turned and
directed attention to Derrick picking
I'D a pocket book. Derrick called
and told 1--WE saw you get the pock-
ct book and unless you divide with
us well tell He opened the purse
and exposed several bills of large
denominations. 1t was then that
they turned to Green and questioned
as to whether he could make the
change for an equal division. Green,
DESTROYS of getting hold to some easy
money stated that he didn't have the
change on him but he could get it
from the bank. The schemers fig
ured it out wherein the old man
was to bring $12O in order to get
his share of the find He return
ed shortly afterwards and placed the
money in the hands of Chairman.
Derrick failed to show up at the
appointed hour with the $120 in
his possession, chatham set out to
find the tardy party to the scheme
and the shades of darkness come
over and found the old man await
ing the return of the slick couple
to bring his money and share of
the find" When they failed to show
up he grew alarmed and notified
the police department.
Detective John Singleton was
placed in charge of the case and
what is said to have been one of the
quickest catches that has been re-
corded in police circles recently was
shown in the apprehension of Chat
man and Derrick, They had left
the city for an Alamaba citl and
when the couple stepped of the train
in Stevenson, Alabama, they walked
into the clutches of the chief of po-
lice there, for Singleton had sent
word ahead that they were coming
that way. The officer arrived in
the city for an Alabama city and
the two prisoners in his charge and
they will be held pending a trial
of the case in a magistrates court
this week.

NOT To
TAKE A HAND IN
ROW IN SILESIA
lBy The AssocIated Press.l

Washington, May 1S.-Poland's
rt quest for Amercar support in the
settlement of the disposition of
Upper Silesia has evoked a formal
answer from Secretary Hughes that
the American representatives
abroad would take no part in the
discussions concerning the Silesian
question.
Poland was informed further in.
the reply delivered to Prince Lubo-
mirski, the Polish minister, that so
far as at present may be seen" the
American representatives on the
supreme council, the council Of am
bassadors and the PREPARATIONS conn
mission, would not so much as eX-
press an opinion as to the settle
nent.
In explanation of the American
refusal, Secretary Hughes pointed
to "the traditional policy of the
United States not to become in-
volved in matters of strictly Euro
pean concern.
Secretary Hughes note follows:
Il have the honor to acknow-
ledge receipt of your note OF May
II in which you recite the reasons
why, in your opinion, certain dis
tricts of Upper Silesia should be
assigned to Poland and urge that
the Representatives of the govern
ment of the United States on the
supreme council, the council of
ambassadors and the reparations
commission be instructed to exert
their influence in favor of a settle
ment strictly in accord with the
treaty of Versailles and the result
of the plebiscite.
''In reply l have the honor to in
form you that, in my opinion, the
settlement of such boundary dis
putes is matter of European con-
Germ, in which with the traditional
policy of the United States, this
government should not become in
volved. The attitude of the govern
ment is clearly understood by its
representative in Europe, who
VIII, therefore, so far as at pres
ent may be seen, take no part in
the discussions concerning Upper
Silesia and will express no opinion
as to the settlement"
