that she was able to pay. Several
times when the old woman was i'll Miss
Shotwell offered money to her, but it

DAVID NORWOOD Of
SALISBURY MAY
SUCCEED WARREN
STATE CHAIRMAN
When Mr.. Warren Tenders His
Resignation Next Wednes-
day After Having Served His
Party for Seven Years. 9th
ers Are Mentioned for the
Position.
(By Max Abernethy.)

Raleigh, Dec 24.-Political talk at
the capital Christmas eve centered
around the report that Thomas d.
Warren of New Bern would tender
his resignation as State chairman Of
the Democratic executive committee
which he has held for seven years
next Wednesday,
The capital has heard the report
frequently during the last few months
but it has not been credited by any
of Chairman Warren's friends, and
it has been persistently denied. But
the report today bears the earmarks
of truth, some of Mr. Warren's close
political and personal friends vouch-
ing for the story that his resignation
will be accepted by the committee at
an early date. Formal statements
from Mr. Warren, however, are not
forth coming here today.
A successor to Mr.. Warren may or
may not be agreed upon without
contest. The only avowed candidate
for the State Craftsmanship is Dave
Norwood of Salisbury, who has been
mentioned for the place for several
months in the event Mr.. Warren
should resign. There are other names
mentioned, of course, but it is gener-
ally conceded that Mr.. Norwood
stands the best chance of landing if
he really wants the position. The
committee is considered not unfriend-
ly to Mr.. Norwood and the election
will be made without serious fight.
In the view of the fact that the
Guardianship is largely a labor of
love. requiring hard work and with
out compensation, there is reason
enough to believe that the Warren
vacancy will go to the Salisbury man
who is represented as being we'll fit
ted for the place. Heriot Clarkson OF
Charlotte, Governor Morrison's pri
mary manager, has also been sug
gested. Charles Ross of LillingtoT
and Judge Crawford Biggs of Raj
eigh, campaign managers of age anG
Gardner last year, likewise have beer
mentioned as Mr. Warren's successor
but neither will make a fight for thu
position.
Other prospects are from the rank
of the younger Democracy of tn
State but it is not considered Iikel,
they will. be given much considera
= tion at the hands of the committe
which is looked upon as unfriendly t.

TWO MEN STAGE BOLD
ROBBERY IN CRUCES;
ARE CAUGHT BY POSSE
Especial Correspondence to The Journal.l

Las Cruces, N. M, Sept. 1.-Two
armed men late yesterday entered
the English Kitchen restaurant on
North Main street. Of this city.
held up and robbed Mr. Wung,
Chinaman, of a small sum of
money.
The men entered the place while
the old man was counting his
money. The most complete story
of the incident was told by Mrs. A.
J. Henderson, who was staying at
the Hacker hotel. next door.
While Mrs. Henderson was lay
ing on the bed in her room she
heard a loud argument start In
the restaurant between the men
and the owner. and heard the rob-
bers say something like will you
give up?"
After this she heard eight or
ten terrible blows and the scream
of the man who was being beaten,
She then rushed from her room
and tried to call someone to help,
but someone near the place said,
"it's no use now" Mr.. Cupp, the
owner of the Las Cruces Dry Clean
ing works, also heard the blows
and screams and went to sioe
window of the place and saw the
man being beaten and started FOR
the front door.
While Mr.. Cupp was going to the
front door the robbers walked OUT
into the street and got away TWO
youths who were standing on the
sidewalk in front of the place SAD
that when the robbers left one OF
them was covered with blood.
When Mr.. Cupp got to the. place
the man was found. badly beaten
and bleeding, lying on the floor.
He was sent to the Las Cruces
hospital.
1t is believed that the men were
not professionals, for they did not
get all his money. The man hau
S11 left In his pocket after the
robbers had left.
The men fled and the county
sheriff was called and a posse~oi
men went in pursuit.
The men were found In a corr
field out of town and arrested an
put in the county Jail.

Behind the Bat; Santa Fe
Hoping to EVen-Up.

The Grays full lineup, including
Teen Colleges. Nose Chaves, Ross
Salazar and all the rest of the all
star team, will take part in the
game with Santa Fe here. Sunday.
it was stated last night by Manager
Dan Padilla.
A letter from Gallegos received
here yesterday, stated that the
Sweetwater team, with which he is
playing, had two two-game series
scheduled for this week. to decide
the championship of the Texas
league, but he thought that he
would be able to be in Albuquerque
for the Sunday game with Santa
Fe.
Nose Chavez. who has been
nursing a split thumb for the past
three weeks. has recovered sooner
than expected, and will positively
be behind the bat Sunday after
noon, Manager Padilla states. With
Salazar almost completely recov-
cred from his sprained ankle, the
Grays will have the original line-up
as it appeared on the field two
months ago.
Manager Padilla adds that every
batter on the lineup for Sundays
game Is a natural right handed
batter, which is not expected to aid
"Grasshopper" Weiss in boosting
his strike-out list. The game SUM-
day will be Weiss last appearance
this season, as he is leaving imme-
diately after for Mexico City. where
he has signed a contract for win
ter season. Gomez. another Santa
Fe pitcher, is in Mexico City at
present.
Santa Fe fans are said to be
counting on winning the game with
the Grays Sunday, which will make
the two teams even-up with two
games each this season. The last
game which the Grays played with
Santa Fe wa taken by Santa Fe by
a 4-to-3 score. but the two previous
ones both went to the Grays. one
by a 14-to-2 score and the other by
to 8. Santa Fe now hopes to
take the game Sunday. thus giving
them a chance for the rubber of
the five games in the game with
the Grays at Santa Fe week from
Sunday.
With the addition of Nose
Chavez and Teen Gallegos, how
ever, Manager Padilla promises the
fans that Santa Fe will have to
play National league ball If 1t wins
Sunday.

Many wholesalers and manu-

very first sign of dark cloud.
The result being that many drug
lines slumped. Tanlac went right
ahead and the result has been
that more Tanlac has been sold
during the first six months of the

Line up with Tanlac. Connect
with a product that sells no matter
how the times, because of its
superior merit.
Although Tanlac has been on
the market over six years, II is
an actual fact that more Tanlac
is being sold today with the same
amount of advertising than during
any time in the past.
Tanlac will not only prove your
greatest seller for this year, but
for many years to come.
Tanlac is sold in Albuquerque
