ROBBER GETS s2,778
IN MEMPHIS HOLDUP

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 24.-Jus
as he was leaving Court Square t
cross Second Street in front of The
Commercial Appeal Building, Err
nest c. Tapp, messenger for thu
Memphis branch of the Federal Re
serve Bank, was held up and robbed
Of s2,776. SO quickly and quietly
did the lone robber work that pass
ersby thought a friendly converse
ton was going on.
Tapp is Il years old. He is
brother of NJ. B. Tapp, assistant
cashier of the First National Bank
who recently filed voluntary petit
ton in bankruptcy.
After handing over the money
which was in the form of currency
held together by rubber band
Tapp ran to the bank in the Good
wyn Institute Building, where he re-
ported his loss to John ]. He1in,
branch manager. Mr. Heflin i'm
mediately reported the robbery to
the police.
Inspector w. T. Griffin, just re-
turning from the Baptist Hospital,
where he had been to see Diggs No
len, took personal charge of the in
vestigation and rushed detectives
and patrolmen to the scene of the
holdup. Because of the quietness
of the robbery police, however. were
unable to find anyone who noticed
the holdup.
Tapp's version of the robbery, as
given to Inspector Griffin, follows:
81 was walking on the west side
of North Second Street going south,
almost directly in front of The
Commercial Appeal Building, when
a man approached me from behind
and stuck a pistol against my left
side. He demanded the money
which / had in the left outside
pocket Of my oyeTcOat. ! told him
! uiunt h..,U gag i.v.i.! "..u hS IS
Piled: Yes you have; give ii to
me or I'll carry you off in my ma
chine and kill YOU / handed him
the money. He told me to continue
south and not to look around and
cry out. started running and
didn't turn around until nearly to
the Exchange Building. I couldn't
see anything of the man then, and
ran 20 tic bank, where 7 reported
my loss to Mr.. Heflin."

DEATH-DEALING

Louisville, Ky, Feb. 2S.-Engin
NO. z5V, SAID to pc the most power
full destroyer of human life known
to railroad men throughout the
country, may be consigned to the
scrap heap by the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad Company. 1t is
said to be the belief of the officials

TRANSPORTATION
ACT Is FAILURE

Washington, Feb. 25.-Declaring
the Transportation act a failure
both in theory and effect, William
G. McAdoo, Director General of
Railroads during the war, said that
the carriers were drifting toward
Government ownership, which, he
added. seemed to be the only ap-
parent solution.
The railroads, Mr.. McAdoo said,
had not been put into the condition
desired, despite the payment Of mil
lions or dollars of taxpayers money
to them under the terms Of the
Transportation act.
The increasing OF rates clearly
has not solved the railroad prob
lens, Mr.. McAdoo declared. While
the larger roads are showing better
returns at the higher schedules, the
smaller lines, without sufficient
facilities to handle increasing bust
ness, are not profiting by the new
rates, he added.
Another angle of the increased
rates, Mr.. McAdoo continued, is
demonstrated by their effect upon
certain localities. Such as New
England, where it is found difficult
to ship at the high rate in COMPETE
ton with other localities.
The proposed plan for the con-
solidation of the railroads into a
number of systems was declared to
be impracticable. The larger roads,
the former Director General said,
would not want to combine with the
smaller lines and there is no method
to compel their consolidation ex-
cept by purchase.
Referring to the railroad wage
question Mr.. McAdoo expressed the
opinion that the carriers should
pay for their labor at its market
value just as they have to purchase
their steel from the mills at the
market price, irrespective of their
earnings.

SHOE PRICES AT
LAST HIT BOTTOM

A sharp decline of from one to
three dollars per pair on their en-
tire line of work shoes, has been
made by the Harsh & Chapline
Shoe Co., Milwaukee, makers OF the
well known Lion Brand Work Shoes
for men and Lion Brand Everyday
Shoes for boys.
'The greatest progress in Ameri-
can business during this generation,
has been in factory organization"
says Geo. r. Harsh, President OF
the company. 1.-THE problems OF
production have been met by ex-
perts who have brought the cost of
manufacture to a lower figure ev-
cry year
But how about selling costs?
The expenses of the manufacturers
statesmen have mounted steadily
the jobber must still have his dis
count--and the storekeeper his.
1.-THE best and quickest way to
reduce prices is to reduce selling
cOsts-by cutting out the unnec-
essary profits between manufactur-
er and consumer. BY selling Lion
Brand Shoes direct from the factory
and combining the entire profit from
maker 10 wearer to one small profit,
we can offer first quality work shoes
10 the public at very low prices.
For example, our No. &c Brown
Butcher, with hard toe cap, made
of Lion Brand Leather (our own
tannagel in regular sizes, to IL,
is now being sold by mail on re-
ceipt of money order, draft or buy
er's own check at $3.35. This shoe
formerly sold through the stores as
high as $3.50.
at was only after long and seri-
Gus deliberation that we decided to
go straight to the public with our
product. In the past fifteen years
through 1900 dealers, we have
sold l0,500.000 pairs of work shoes
over S6,OOO,OOO worth last year
alone. The only way open to us tc
get Lion Brand Shoes to the wearel
at a fair price, was to drop our job
bers and dealers and sell by mail

Another peculiar incident in con-
nection with the engine is the fact
that the day after the Shepherds
vile wreck Milton H. Smith, late
president OF the road, came out in
a public statement in which he de-
plored the accident and said the
families of the dead need not wOr-

BURIED IN SHIFTING SANDS
Englishwoman Inferred in Treach-
erous Spot Where Her Fiance
Had Perished Years Before

Located at the entrance to the
to the Strait of Dover, the deadly
Goodwin sands would appear to be
the last place in the world that any
one would select as burying
ground. Treacherous, shifting and
with a record of having been re-
sponsible for the loss of scores OF
ships and hundreds of lives, these
sands are usually avoided like the
plague, but Miss Clara de Burgh
Lawson, who recently died at
Broadstairs, England, made it a
condition in her will that her body
be buried in the Goodwin Shoals,
an English exchange says.
While the reason for this strange
desire to be inferred in an unmark-
ed grave was not contained in Miss
Lawson's will, neighbors who re-
called a romance OF her early life
stated that the sands had been re-
sponsible for the loss of the life of
her fiance many years before, and
that, despite the fact that Miss Law
son was seventy, she had never in
the intervening years failed to visit
the sands every summer.
When upon her deathbed the
spinster informed her friends that
they would find a strange clause in
her will, she declined to state what
it was, but merely insisted upon
promise that her wishes be carried
out. II particularly WISH" she
added, that no attempt be made to
mark my last resting place, though
there will he little chance for that"
she concluded with a faint smile.
When the will was read it was ap-
parent that the placing of a monu-
ment over the grave" would, in
deed, lie an impossibiiity, for even

Zoe Atkins. Poet and Playwright.

Atkins would some day do something
worth while. ITS a better play than
The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," he de-
clared.
AS to plays, Miss Atkins acknow-
lodges that she has always had a
penchant for the theaters. Duse was
once her idol. That was about the
time she Joined the Odeon Stock
Company in ST. Louis and made her
debut as page in Romeo and
Juliet" Afterward she played a cou-
pie of maids in couple of plays. and
then she decided that she wouldn't be
an actress after all.
She helped to organize the Artists
Guild in ST. Louis. though. and was al
ways the prime mover in arranging
entertainments, writing plays and
sketches, producing them and acting
in them sometimes. In. those days
Pierrotte was her favorite role and
she played it on so many occasions
that her friends nicknamed her the
White Plague.
When she was twenty-one she
wrote a play called THE Learned
Lady" May Robson accepted it and
put it in rehearsal. They wanted
me to rewrite it," says Miss Akins,
80 I took the manuscript home and
burned it. That's the trouble with
the American drama-too few plays
are written and too many are re-
written. / won't rewrite my plays"
Her next play was Papa" publish
ed in 1915. The following year it was
produced in California, but when done
in New York Papa" was voted a
failure. 1t is to be presented shortly
in London.
In 1916 the Washington Square

diate success. That play is now being

NATIONAL-Ethel Barrymore in
"Declassee."

The interesting announcement is made
of the coming of Ethel Barrymore to
the National Theater this week in
''Declassee,' the play by Zoe Atkins, in
which her success has become thea
trical history.
For one entire season New York
theatergoers crowded the Empire Thea
ter to its capacity to witness Miss Bar
rymore's performance, and each pres
entation, it is declared. was the oc-
bounded in enthusiasm and unparal-
leled in the history of the American
stage"
Miss Atkins has created for Miss Bar
rymore role in which moments OF the
inimitable, deft Barrymore comedy ap-
pear; only to make more poignant the
numerous moments Of serious. emotiona!
import.
Miss Barrymore is seen as Lady Helen
Haden, an. aristrocratic young English
woman, to whom, through no fault
of her own, save an amusing reckless
ness. unhappy circumstances bring
matrimonial disaster. Adrift, she dis
appears from her exclusive London
environment and establishes herself
in New York, the center of mixed
group Of unusual people. In the eyes
of her own kind. declassee, her social
adventures in this country become
alternately amusing and piteous
within her grasp, Lady Helen's final
adventure becomes a tragedy, pathetic
in its truth, but logical in its conse-
quences.

capable and distinguished players Is

you is the dark. lively, laughing eyes
that assure you Ie is not taking him
self too solemnly, despite his success.
He talks well, without difhdence on
the one hand. nor yet arrogance on
the other So far he has not put him
self on a pedestal. He knows he Is
good Che has been loudly informed of
that). but he still thinks he can do
better.
Il was abominably nervous the
night made my. first appearance at
Covent Garden" he said. in speaking
fists as Melba and Huberdeau. who
would not be? And then, such an
audience! It was the first time Covent
Garden had seen opera for five years.
During all the period of the war the
government had used the place as
furniture storage warehouse. So you
can imagine. with peace once more in
prospect. that every one in London
who could get in that night was there
to celebrate the event. The king and
queen were in attendance. 1t was an
evening long to be remembered"

beginnings, he is anxious to be CRATE

'0N the morning following the first

in New York, long line was trailing
its way from the sidewalk to the box

into the lobby and approached the late
ALT Hayman, head of the Charles

We'll, how is itc"- she inquired, a
little breathlessly.
"How's what?" queried Mr.. Hayman.

DO you really mean 1t? Isn't that

Can you beat that?" remarked the

she doesn't know that she has written
one Of the biggest hits We've had at

if it was going to draw
Miss Atkins, when she was seven
teen, began to write poems. stories
and critfcisms-all sorts of articles
