COLLECTION.
DIMES STUCK
To HIS HANDS.
Treasurer With Sticky
Fingers Held Under
Bond For Embezzlement

investigation into the manner in
which he has handled the funds of
Bethel \. N. T. Church led to the
arrest OF r 4. Jackson, 1908 Wabash
Ave. late last week
He was hailed into Harrison Street
Court Monday morning on a charge
OF cmbezzlement. Judge Fetzer of
the Municipal Court continued the
case to April 3, holding Jackson in
$1,000 bonds.
Jackson was taken into custody by
Detective Armstrong alter an inspec-
ton OF his books by the Keystone
Detective Agency revealed irreguari-
ties extending over a number Of years.
As treasurer OF the church, Jackson
was entrusted with the church's
weekly collections. Entries are mis-
sing for many Sundays in a row,
however. it is said.
On several occasions Jackson would
withdraw money from the bank and
then. rcdepoSit it. i'll order to make
the records show that he had made
a deposit, say the Investigators OF
the Keystone Aeen,y.
A deficit OF $2.043.32 has been dis
covered so far 1t IS believed that the
treasurer withheld several hundred
dollars in addition, of which the
church has no record.
Treasury Always Short.
1t became an item OF particular no
tce that no matter how large the col
lection, there was never enough in the
treasury to pay off the church obi
cations. Certain members OF the
II. fav nc ~ Harl1ra III 4
they saw Jackson coping coins
from the collection plate. The eXecu-
tive board also found that OF $1,000
raised at a particular rally, only $500
ever reached the church treasury.
Frisk His Pockets.
On January 22nd two of the trustees
are said to have noticed that Jackson
slipped coin from the plates into his
pocket. When he went into a side
room to count the collection, the door
was locked and Treasurer Jackson
was 'frisked." $3.50 in dimes poured
from his inside pocket. The auditing
committee includes DR.. A. ]. Oford,
r II. McGavock and DR.. M. NJ. Dill
lard.
May Implicate Higher-Ups.
Investigators insist that Jackson
could not have embezzled the amount
of money he is charged with, without
the connivance of other officials of
the church. SO far Jackson has re-
fused to implicate others in his de-
falcation. 1t is rumorod, however
that at the trial Jackson will make a
clean breast of the affair, and name
other officials of the church who
shared with him the stolen funds.

Hanging At
Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. March 25.
Mystery still surrounds the hanging
OF man partially identified as George
Tompkins near Casino Gardens
Thur day afternoon.
The mans body was found leaning
against tree ON the banks OF the
" hne River The body. with the
hand, tied behind the back, was still
warm \ grass rope was about the
mans neck, and although the rope
was tied from the branches OF the
tree. the feet were resting on the
round and the body was leaning
against the tree. Police who respond
ed 10 an emergency call, failed to find
any trace of the lynchers
According to one theory, Ihomp-
kins met his death at the hands of the
Ku Klux Klan. Others believe that
he died as a result of war among a
gang of bootleggers.
A few investigators were inclined
to the belief that the man committed
suicide. Police, however, asserted it
would have been impossible for the
man TO have committed suicide with
his hands tied behind him
The scene OF the murder is near
the Casino Gardens. a popular after
theatre resort in Riverside Park, not
far from the Indianapolis Speedway.

MILLION KlUx
VOW BULLOCK
MUST RETURN

HICKORY, N. C.. March Is
Having been thwarted at every turn
in efforts to bring Matthew Bullock
back to lynch-ridden North Carolina
through the orderly process OF law,
the Ku Klux Klan now openly an
nounces its intention to kidnap the
man and bring him back by force, ir-
respective of the laws of Canada
Such was the substance of a lee
ture by DR.. Arthur T. Abernathy,
white, of Ashville, lecturer for the

DR.. Alternately declared that 1,000,-
900 Klansmen from Maine to Texas

Bullock is returned to North Caro-
lima for trial And this will happen
in the next 90 days" he added.
While Alternately did not mention
the name of the man he said was
sought by authorities of this state,
the audience understood him to refer
to Matthew Bullock, wanted at Nor
lima on a charge of attempted murder
growing out of a race riot at that
place about year ago Bullock was
recently given his liberty by Judge
Snyder at Hamilton, Ont, where he
was arrested, when Governor Morri-
son refused to send witnesses 10 Can
ada to testify at his extradition hear
ing.
Dr. Abernathy had been discussing
the efforts, he said, that the Ku Klu>
Kian were making TO assist the off
GERS in enforcing the law. He T.
ferred to a case in Ashville, in whic'
he said negro was sent to the road
through the efforts of the khan an
told of two white women being es
corted out of that city by K1ansmen
II was near the close of his sddres
that the speaker referred to the Ca
madam case He did not mention wha'
measure would be taken to have the
negro brought back to North Caro-

into the street from q cross street
and one Of them got directly in front
of the car, the front fender grazing
1t and the rear enc striking it full.
The boy was thrown from the horse
and Whit stopped and got out to see
what damage had been done. The
boy said that he was not hurt and
after Whit had helped him to turn
the saddle he rode off. The boy gave
"a name when asked who he was, but
whether he told the truth is doubted
After tie accident the horses of Bill
Phillips and Robert Elan were found
to have eeen ridden hard while they

and that when the accident happened
were afraid to tell who they were.
No news Of an injured horse has been

1t is not fair to assume that beauty
In Ine average woman is Mt accom-
panied by brains. Some o. the hest
brains among the women are possess
ed by remarkably pretty women, and
the assumption that to be beautiful
is to lack brains is wrong. True, in
many instances adulation spOlls many
beautiful women and causes them to
forget that they have brains, but not
often. Nor is it a fair criterion to
take the celebrities as the standard
by which we judge. The world is
full of beautiful women in the humble
walks Of life, and she is usually q
woman of brains. Full many a gem
