Parents of the missing boy have
reached the conclusion that nothing

they were inclined to believe he may
have been spirited away by others.
but this morning Mrs. Jones said she
had concluded it was merely a case
OF the boy running away.
The mother said she was certain
Harwood had not planned to go
away. She thought his going was the
result Of a sudden impulse, recalling
that he left his watch and some
change i'm his room when he started
in his fathers car to go to school.
1t is thought he had less than $40
in his possession when he left his
fathers car at Florida avenue and
10th street Friday morning. Parents
of the missing boy Yesterday learned
that his books were found >on a lot
near Central High School and were
sent to the Jones residence by a col

The chauffeur was unable to find
the Jones residence, it is stated. and
a young man volunteered to accom-

Special Dispatch 10 The star.
FAIRFAX, Va, January 2S.-Nearly
500 in cash and stamps. and six reg
istered letters were taken from the
post office here between midnight and
o'clock this morning. The habit OF
the postmaster Charles r. Cummins, in
removing any large sum of money
that accumulated during the day saved
the post office from a more serious
robbery.
The robbery was discovered at :
O'Clock this morning by Arthur Cum
Minis son of the postmaster who
opened up the two-Story frame build
ing and perceived the safe door blown
wide open as the light penetrated the
room from a side window which showed
the effects OF having been jimmied
open.
Upon examination Of the safe it was
learned that S63.l2 in stamps, 5000 in
cash and six registered letters ICON

the arrival of the postmaster a thor
ough examination OF the premises was
made, and Frank =. Bushee, post office
inspector. was summoned. No clue
could be found except the ruined safe
and the timmed window:
Following an inquiry among nearby
residents 1t was learned that no one
had heard any unusual noise during
the night or had there been any sus-
picious characters seen in the neigh
borhood recently. The whole affair is
thus far puzzling.

CALL FOR MORE NUT TREES
According to Chicago Publication,
Their Value Has In a Great De-
gree Been Passed Over.

Some years ago a householder In
Portland, Ore, planted eight Seeding
Persian walnut trees along the street
in front of his residence. Now, he has
all the nuts his family can use during
the year, divides with the boys Of the
neighborhood on their own terms, and
sells what are left for almost enough
to pay his taxes.
This tale, vouched for by the presi.
dent of the American Tree association,
Is told rs a preliminary to a question :
Do folks of the Middle West, in plant
ing ornamental trees and shrubs, pay
enough attention to fruits and nuts,
particularly the latter?
One may doubt it. The climatic
zone near the lakes does not favor Per.
sian walnuts or pecans, but the black
walnut and hickory do well. They
make noble trees, as beautiful as the
best. and their nuts, though harder to
crack than some, are well worth the
trouble. The ilbert or hazelnut Is a
beautiful shrub, and when planted In
sunny locations yields well. The beech
does not take overwell to civilization
and town life, but on large suburban
places 1t should do well, Its beauty is
of a unique, striking kind, and Its curl
Gus three-cornered nuts are u Joy to
the children.

Z0NING IN INDIANA CAPITAL
Apartments and Hotels Are No Longer
to Be Permitted In Sections
Allotted to DWELLINGS.

Indianapolis has decided that there
Is a place for every type of building,
and has passed coming and height
regulations to control development,
the investments of Its citizens and the
health and happiness of its popula-
ton. A section has been SET aside for
apartments and hotels, another for
business buildings, another for fac-
tories and some more for homes of
various characters. No building may
be erected with an unbroken street
elevation of more than 200 feet, which
Is the maximum height in Washington
street. the widest and main business
street of the city. Heights on other
streets Will range up to $50 feet, de-
pending on the width of the street.
There will be five such districts in the
city. the purpose of this being to
spread out the population and obvi-
ate the possibilities of traffic problems
and congestions, which seem to be one
of the great troubles of the older
cities of the country. Here are the
five districts as designated in the reg
ulations, according to the AgrIcul-
tural Forum:
"a Dwelling house, ~ apartment
house, (3) business, ca first indus
trial and (5) second Industrial.
The area requirements are de
signed to spread out the population,
prevent congestion and promote a de-
tached house development.

Lawrence @. Phipps. Senator Phipps
is aboard a United States destroyer on
the way to Balboa, Canal Zone. Mrs.
Phipps was In Denver for the services.
William j. Donald, the senator's sec
rotary, who left him at the Mayo hos
pital, at Rochester, MINI, to return to
Washington on official business, ex-
pecting to meet the senator later In
Denver, left the capital to attend the
funeral. e. II. McClenahan, federal
prohibition director In Colorado, also
came to Denver. He went to Roches-
ter when Senator Nicholson was
moved to the Mayo hospital, and then
went on to Washington.
Stories told at the state house of
Senator Nicholson are characteristic
Of the man, showing his democratic
nature.
Senator Samuel w. DeBusk, Demo-
erat, Trinidad, said;
"When Nicholson was a young fell
low he worked in Trinidad in a stone
quarry. There was a banquet given
for the senator a year ago in Trinidad
and he insisted on his old boss, the
quarryman, sitting at his right hand
ut this banquet"

han, and his yes filled with tears.
"He caused much happiness, never
any unhappiness. He was ever con-
slderate, thoughtful OF others. 1t
would have been impossible for him
eyer TO say an unkind word against
even his worst ~enemy-that is, II he
had an enemy, 1 have lost u dear

Dr. Hubert Work paid a glowing
tribute to Senator Nicholson, In a
statement In which he said he was a
man who had risen from o~bscurity to
wealth and position without losing the
common point Of contact with his fell
bowman,
An autopsy OF the body Of Senator
Nicholson, revealed that he was
doomed from the moment the malig

him, This revealed that an operation
would not have brought relief, but
