AUTO THIEF
LANDED in JAIL
Young Man Brought Back
From Chattanooga For
Theft of Ford Car

Rudolph Marlar, young man
about - years of age, was brought
to the Gap last Wednesday evening
by Deputy Sheriff John Qualls and
Henry Kelly from Chattanooga,
Tenn, where lie was arrested by po-
Ii &C on Sunday before in company
with another young man by the
name of Homer Green, for the theft
OF Mr.. Kelly's ear at the Fair
grounds at Wise several days ago
Although a description OF the ear
was sent TO officers of several sur
rounding cities it was only by acci-
dent the young men we're apprehcn-
dcd. In order to avoid identification
as far MS possible they had destroyed
the Virginia tags and had stolen a
Tennessee tag. The Tennessee law
provides that two tags must be dis
played and having been able to Sc.
cure only one tag, it resulted in their
arrest in Chattanooga. Being sus-
picioned by the officers they were
questioned separately by detectives
and Green made clean breast of
the whole affair. 1t appeared from
his story that Green had been in
duced to accompany Marler after
the ear was stolen at Wise. While
the officers were directing their at
tention to Marler, Green took ad
vantage OF the opportunity and
escaped Although the city was
searched thoroughly he could not be
located.
The Chattanooga officers warned
Deputy Sheriff Qualls to watch the
prisoner closely on their return for
they believed he would take advan-
tage of the least opportunity to
escape. The prisoner was hand
cuifcd and placed in the rear seat
with Mr.. Qualls while Mr.. Kelly
drove the ear and the trip was made
without any trouble whatever. On
the following day Mraler was taken
to Wise and placed in Jail. He
Claims to be from Harlan county,
Kentucky, but had been in Tazewell
county previous to coming to Wise.
Mr.. Kelly paid the Chattanooga
detective $50 which had been offered
as reward for the location of his
car.

MORE CzARISM
 FOR RUSSIANS
Old Monarchist Groups Are Already Behind Favorltes

LOND1N, Oct. 31. Something 3 kin to consternation has been caused in Russian moparchist circles by Grand Duke Cyril's recent mani festo claiming succession to CZar Nicolas II, and q conference Will take place at Weisbaden to ma way out of the difficulty caused by
 rival groups cf Russians who will not admit that the Russian revolu- tion terminated Czardom
 The Belgrade group of monarch ists. which considers itself most rep resentative, was not warned ol Grand Duke CyriI's decision and
 would not in any case have sup ported him either as the guardian of the Russian throne or as can didate to it. according to the Berlin correspondent of the Times. The Belgrade mcnarchists' hopes are centercd around Grand Duke Nicolas
 Nicolaievitch, and they have been
 endeavoring for considerable time to persuade him 10 place himsc!f al the head of their movement.
 This group asserts that the chief Iina,igator of Grand Duke Cyrils un- expected declaration is Colonel B2lasheff, at enc time secret agent. and a paid guard of the Rus sian Minister Protopoff The mon

 Many monarchists seriously de- ! plOre the whole controversy and
 condemn the supporters of the un- 1 popular Cyril as well as the sup

 who has repeaedly declared that he

 upon to do so, by their general vote, but that he was 10th to place 1 himself as the head of any move ment outside Russia.
