 Since Thursday when the girls body was found covered with stab wounds, the throat slashed from ear to ear and evidences of assault, the entire countryside has been engaged in a sensational hunt.
 Terry was captured through the cunning of another negro Harry Spence. Spence was riding along a country road late yesterday when he came upon Terry and offered him a lift"
 Terry, not realizing he was sus- pected, got up behind. As the two were about to pass the home of Homer Miller, white man, Spence told Terry he wanted a drink of water and went into Miller's house. Almost Immediately Miller appeared and GOV cred Terry with gun and marched him to the Wortham jail. A mob formed and the negro was slipped out of the back window of a bank building, where he had been taken for safe keeping.
 The mob; upon discovering the sheriff's ruse took up the pursuit and about five miles out of Wortham over took the sheriff and his prisoner. The sheriff abandoned his prisoner and dashed into a cornfield.

Back To Genoa To
 See George

Genoa, May 6-Plainly elat- ed over the success of his home visit, Louis Barthou, head of he French delegation to the international Economic Confer ence arrived here today from Paris. The French leader evil dently had no fears that the fresh instructions he brought back with him would wreck the conference. His face was wreathed in smiles as he shook hands with newspaper corre- spondents and conference dele gates at the station. He went immediately to the Savoy hotel to confer with his colleagues, leaving word that he would see Premier Lloyd George of Eng land later in the day.
 German intervention to bring Rus sia to terms is regarded in some cir cles as the first step towards a triple entente involving Russia, Britain and Germany-a consummation which France has feared for a long time
 Premier Lloyd Georges action Tn entering into a tacit bargain with Germany is believed to have been df- rected against the possibility of con- certed action by M. Barthou and Pre- mier Poincare of France against Great Britain.
 It is understoo that the Russians are now ready to give their answer to the Allied statement of conditions for recognition of the Moscow gov ernment and that they will express their readiness to continue negotia- ttons This emphasizes the fact that while some of the nations are ready to bring the conference to the break ing point none is willing to bring about the actual collapse.
 It is anticipated that the Russian answer, like virtually all the Rus sian and Allied documents, will con tain another big ''if.'

 Colleges were founded to teach men how to live" said the Vice Presi- dent. eff the charters of our old New England colleges be examined. if the purpose of those who establish ed them be sought out, it will be re- vealtd that their object was the train- ing of men for leadership and that their deepest concern was to provide preparation for the ministry They had no lesser purpose than to be the centers for the diffusion of truth
 American institutions have come from the people but they have come from a people directed. led and in- spired by the ideals which came from the colleges. No one can examine the history of America calmly and can dfdly and escape the conclusion that in it's main features it has been a success. The foundation and support of that success had its main source, directly and indirectly. in the learn ing. the piety and reverence which American colleges had been estab- hshed to promote. They have been the great builders of character
