ROBBERY PLOT,
V|RG|N|AN SAYS
Patrick County Stirred by Kill
ing of War Veteran and Com
panion in Hills.

CLAUDEVILLE, Va, Dec. a.
Patrick county is stirred by the kill
ing Of George Akers and Robert
Alley. George Going. who is now
in Patrick county jail. officials say,
has confessed to killing both men
because he believed they were intent
on robbing his aged father, Perrin
Going.
Akers, who was gassed in the Ar
gonne. and Alley met George Going
In a rural store in Kibley. and Going
invited the pair to spend the night
with him and his father in the
mountain cabin not many miles
away. The story, as pieced together
from the statements made by Going
and by Alley just before he died, in
dicates that all visited a moonshine
still and drank some liquor before
retiring.
Early the following morning George
Going entered the store of George
Wilson and bought eight shotgun
shells, saying he had been compelled
to drive his two companions of the
night before away from his cabin
because they were trying to rob his
father.
With the shells in his pocket he
left the store, called his brother
James, who was working in a field,
and they went into the mountains.
An hour later shots were heard and
both Goings returned to Wilson'S
store, George saying he had killed
both men. He surrendered to the
local magistrate.
About a quarter OF a mile from
the Going cabin searchers found the
body of Akers, his head half shot
off. A few yards away lay Alley
with a gaping wound in his back.
He recovered consciousness and said
he knew of no cause for the shoot
ing. He said that after accepting
the hospitality of the Goings for the
night he and Akers, who was half
intoxicated, started across the noun
tains intending to go to Mt. Airy.
They had gone a quarter of a mile
when Akers decided to sleep until his
mind could act more clearly. Alley
sat beside him. 1t was while they
were sitting on the side of the path
that the two Goings appeared.
Alley declared he was not consci-
Gus of any ill-feeling and was
amazed when Going pushed the gun
at him. Alley said he jumped up
and fled, but Going shot him I'm the
back. Alley sank to the ground and
pretended to be dead, fearing he
said. lest any sign of life would re-
suit in his immediate despatch.
Akers, aroused by the shots, was
sitting up when Going put the gun
barrel close to his head and fired,
Alley said.
Alley said he had a brother, Dewey
Alley, in Danville. Va; a sister,
Mrs. Charles Stutphin, of Barren
Springs, Va, and an unmarried
sister, Molly Alley. All efforts to
reach them have failed.

TURN IN AUTO

CARS, |S0RDER
Police, Bothered by Failures Of
Former Owners, Plan En-
forcement Drive.

Motorists who sell their cars and
fail to turn in their old tags to the
license clerk will be subject to ar
rest, according to Capt. Albert j.
Headley, in charge of the traffic
bureau of the police department.
While this regulation has been on
the books for several years, II has
not been rigidly enforced, but Cap
tain Headley said today that after
January 1 special attention is to be
given to this phase of the regula-
tons.
Failures to turn in tags when auto
mobiles were sold has caused the po-
lice department a, great deal OF
trouble recently and has also caused
much inconvenience to the former
owners of the automobiles.
In a recent case an automobile
ran down a woman and seriously in
tured her but did not stop. A wit
ness obtained the number of the
automobile and gave it to the police.
The accident happened while the
sheaters were dismissing their audi
t.nces About 2 o'clock in the morn
ing the former owner of the auto
mobile, who had failed to turn in his
tags, was aroused from his sleep
and forced to go to the police sta
ton and explain that 1t was not his
machine that ran down the woman.
Captain Headley also requested to-
day that in reporting traffic viola
tions that the complainants state
whether the tags on the car they
complained of were this years tags
or next years tags. Many automo-
bIles are now carrying next years
tags, 1t is said, and difficulty has
been experienced in learning the
owner Of the car.

The days of the open sessions at the
conference are the grounding days of
diplomacy. On those days 1t comes
out of its hole and sits in the sun,
promising an early peace. Then It re-
ing journalists from all over the world
spend the intervals in trying to dig
1t out.
Actually, however. the system Of
daily statements as to progress made
in committee rooms keeps the public
well informed. These reports and their
careful Interpretation through the
press, have indicated every step OF the
negotiations.
But naturally the things that lie
behind them, the human interest, the
clashes in committee rooms, the occa
sional indiscreet statements OF one
diplomat or another, the various
moves in the game, are the color of
the conference. And such color Is
conspicuously missing.
China and Japs at Draw.
In the game of checkers between
China and Japan, for instance. 1t is
interesting to perceive that Japan has
got China into a double corner, and
can neither get her out nor catch her,
but the steps by which Its position
has been reached are little known.
Yesterday found the situation very
delicate, and a noticeable reticence on
the part of those unhappy gentlemen
whose duty it is to meet the press and
hide things from II. A member OF the
Japanese delegation had ventured a
personal opinion and diplomacy had
not only crawled back into its hole.
but would have liked to pull the hole
in after 1t.
Small wonder that Washington is
filled with rumors: that the two visit
ing delegates who have been really
iii are reported "a automatically
sick" that the Japanese are supposed
to be going back home, and that the
press has grown slightly bilious during
all this. From 1 o'clock to 1t follows
the will o. the wisp OF real news, along
miles of corridors in the press build
ing and outside, and should be put on
roller skates to cover the distances.

The one outstanding exception to
the pail of mystery is Mr.. Hughes.

The senate had its fur up when a
resolution introduced by Senator A.
F. Strum mildly >criticising the Uni
versity of Nebraska board Of regents
was called up for action Immediately
by its sponsor. The resolution dealt
with registration charges for STU
dents at the State university. r
The senate then lifted Senator
Hoagland's bill, S. F. 325, over the
head of the committe, which had re-
ported it for indefinite postponement
to the general file. The Hoagland
bill abolishes all incidental fees and
charges, but was amended by its
sponsor to apply only to resident
students.
The motion not to concur in the
committee report carried by vote
of 18 to IA. The Sturm resolution
went over a day under the rules.
when Hoagland objected to its I'M
mediate consideration. A
In doubling the incidental fees
from $40 to $40 a year the regents
increased the income from this
source by $4,000 a year, Hoagland
charged during the debate Of this,
he said, $4,000 went to laboratory
assistants and $l,500 to the dean Of
women for work outside of the in
structional line. Hoagland contend
ed the regents could meet these ex-
penses from appropriated funds.
Sturm, replying to Hoaglahd, said
that the university needed such a
fund. Senators Harriss and Miller
