Now if there are not enough tickets
sold to pay this expense then the men
who signed the guarantee will have

reasonable and there is no war tax to

ELAINE NEGROES
FREED BY COURT


One Of the most intricate legal bat
Ties ever staged in the state came to
close Monday when the Arkansas SUI
preme Court ordered the dismissal Of
six of the Elaine negroes who twice
have been sentenced to death for mur-
der in connection with the Phillips
county riots Of four years ago, which
resulted in the death of three white
men.
The high courts decree sustained the
contention of the negroes to their
rights under a state statute proyid-
ing for dismissal of any defendant
who, for no fault of his own is not
brought TO trial within two terms Of
the trial court.
The six negroes dismissed were Ed
Ware Albert Giles, Joe Fox. John
Martin, Alf Banks and VIII Woodrow,
who were convicted in the November.
1919, term of the Phillips Circuit
Court Ware, Banks and Woodrow
for the murder of w. A. Adkins, Mis-
souri, Pacific special agent; Giles and
Fox for the murder of James A. Tap
pan, former captain in the World War
who won distinction for gallantry in
action overseas; and Martin for kill
ing Clinton c. ("Buddie") Lee, also a
Phillips county Leglonaire.
Six other negroes also were indict-
ed and convicted of first degree muir
der with the death penalty, but their
eases now are pending In the United
States Supreme Court on a motion to
review their trials.
ON the first appeal of Ware and the
others dismissed yesterday, the Su-
preme Court reversed the conviction
and death sentence on the ground that
the verdict found them guilty as
charged in the Indictment" instead of
guilty Of murder in the first degree
as charged in the Indictment" holding
the omission in the verdict to,be rever-
sible error.
The second trial against them re-
suited in conviction and the death SEN
tence. but again was reversed and re-
mamled by the Supreme Court which
sustained the contention of the ne
groes' attorneys that fair and con
stitutional trial had not been had be
cause Of the fact that there were no
negroes on the trial jury.

American Government Would
Wipe off Inter- Allied Bill.

Paris-Secretary of the Treasury
Andrew J. Mellon is busy winding up
the affairs for which he came to Paris
before sailing on the Leviathan for
America 49,. ...
The secretary has had a long con-
ference with M. De Lasteyrie, the
French minister of finance, and with
him M. Robineau, governor of the
Bank of France, on the question of
the inter-Allied debts. 1t is under
stood that he made it very clear to
M. Poincare that no government of
the United States ever would be able
to cancel the inter-Allied indebted
ness and that the French have made
up their minds the only thing to do
Is to get the best terms possible.
Unlike the English, however, the
French wish to obtain delay run
ming into another decade before begin
ming payment.
The sudden death of President
Harding is believed to have prevented
an agreement being worked out in
regard to the payment of the inter-
Allied debt.

Youngsters Confess to p.
Robbing Local Stores
Four Sentenced to Reform School
Sentence Has Been Suspended
During Good Behavior

From two and one-half to three
months past gang of ten boys be.
tween the ages of 8 and l3 years
have been robbing eight business
places in the city. .
The places of business entered as
far as are known, are: Fuchs Hard.
ware Store, Wedge Hardware Store,
City Steam Laundry, Sank = Centre
Cafe, Dreamland Pavilion, Pioneer
Ice Cream factory, Gage Bakery shop
and the S. P. Hansen Grocery store
Among, Che articles taken were fishing
tackle, air guns, Ingersol watches
jack knives, flash lights and a consid-
cradle amount. of money. =. ~
Most of ;, the places had been en-
tered several times, some of them
many times. IT, The gang operated
mostly Sundays and in the early eve
ings during the week. The young
sters had used system which made
it almost impossible to catch them in
the act, but this was finally accom-
plished after Mr.. Fuchs had stationed
George Engle in his Hardware store
to watch. Mr.. Engle had been work
ing on the case for about a week be-
fore the boys entered the store again
and were caught in the act.
On being questioned by City At
torney Kells various members of the
gang, told parts of the story. Most
of the ten boys were implicated at
all of the various places of business
some had actually entered certain
places and others had been entered
by different members of the same
gang. After considerable question
ing much of the loot was recovered.
AS far as can be ascertained it would
seem that the Fuchs Hardware Co. :,
were. the heaviest losers, 5000 being
conservative estimate of this firms
loss.
In Difference to the parents and
because of their years, the Herald is
not mentioning names. The parents
know who the boys are and they will
undoubtedly put forth extra efforts
to show them the error of their ways
and keep them from mixing into any,
thing of this kind in the future.
Four of the older boys were taken
before the District Court and sem.
fenced to the State Training School
for Boys at Red Wing. Sentence was
suspended, however, during good be-
havior.
