bers Of His Congregation
In Big Haul.
PREACHER WAS BRAINS OF HOLDUP
(By international News service)


Mount Vernon, Jan. 22.-Four
citizens of Mount Vernon named as
accomplices by Rev. Guy Kyle, a
former pastor of the Free Methodist
church in this city, are being sought
by the police.
According to the police Kyle has
confessed to being the brains of the
two hundred thousand dollar mail
robbery, and named four of the
members of his former flock as his
accomplices.
When questioned by the police fol
lowing his arrest, he confessed and
gave the names of those who tool;
part with him in the holdup. He also
revealed the hiding place of all but
twenty-seven thousand dollars of the
loot. The remainder has not been
found, and the others of the crowd
have not as yet been apprehended.
The confession Of Kyle caused a
sensation and there is much specula-
ton as to the identity of the four
men at large.

PARENTS ASKED TO KEEP
CHILDREN OFF STREETS

Parents are urged to keep their
children of the streets during the
quarantine and assist in putting down
the contagion. This applies to all
children in the schools, both high
and grade pupils.
Some are thinking that because
the children are allowed to attend
school, and not church and the NOV
les, that it is unreasonable. The fact
of the matter is, the schools are I'M
der a close observance while the
churches and theatres are not
Local physicians were examining
pupils today and will continue to
keep a close watch over the condi-
tions in the school room.
If the parents assist in doing as
the Board of Health requests, it may
be the quarantine will be released by
the last of the week.

LET'S HAVE NEW WALKS
ON SEVENTH STREET

The new Mckinley school started
off in fine shape this morning, and
there was but one blemish to the
whole affair, and that was the muddy
streets through which the children
had to wade, to get to the new build
ing.
According to information from
one of the school board, everybody
wants walks laid on Seventh street,
and patrons are to urged that the city
council take action and see that the
walks are put in.
The new floors of the building We're
smooth. clean and shiny, and by the
time the children walked through
with mud hanging on their shoes like
festoons from southern poplar tree,
it looked like a scene in a dismal
swamp.
Now that this part of town will be
used from now on by teachers and
pupils, day after day, the matter of
paving should not be delayed an in
slant.

Have They the Trump Cards?

For some occult reason there is
growing impression in local financial
circles. and on tho street in general,
that the Reading Co. common stock
holders hold the trump card. This seems
TO be the idea in New York, too. At
east one would be led to think so.
Judging from the conflicting movement
between the common and two preferred
shares
In all events il is apparent tho com
mlttce looking after the common stock
holders rights, are going to make II
stiff fight to win their contention re-
garding the accumulated surplus of the
Reading Co. There seems to be con
siderable diversity of opinion in the
legal fraternity concerning the contro-
,crsy. with the odds. if anything. a
little in favor of the common share
holders. The various interests have
another week in which to file briefs and
papers before date is sci for further
hearing, and it is reasonable to suppose,
in view of the size of the stake, a stub
born contest may be expected.
1t is predicted by some market inter
ests that it will be several years before
the controversy is finally settled, as all
contesting interests will carry it to the
higher courts. The government, how
ever. may upset this program and order
the carrying out Of the segregation.
Decline in Food Animals Since War
The stock growers Of the United
States evidently saw the Handwriting

the war upon them for food animals.
and for horses and mules. had resulted
in large increase in both number and

Almost as tiresome as the person

talks house. The person with this
bad habit very often is a tyro at

attractive and expressive and soul

one ever thought about until this
generation. So he tells you of his
