TALLADEGA PLAYS TUSKEGEE. ELEVEN
Thanksgiving Day Classic For Negroes At .TaIIadega
 Institute

TALLADEGA, Ala, Nov 2S.-(Spe- cial.) .)-Never in the history of foot ball in Alabama has enthusiasm run so high among negroes as for the coming contest between Booker Washington's boys and Talladega college. Tuskegee has chartered a special train and will bring her band of 50 pieces, 50 teachers and over 200 students, boys and girls.
 As an evidence of Tuskegee's in terest, she has arranged with the Western Union to install special serv- ice on the field so that the people back home may have the game, play by play.
 A special excursion train over the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic will leave Birmingham. at 10:30 and indications point to more than 300 Talladega and Tuskegee supporters and graduates coming to the game. Montgomery, Selma, Tuscaloosa, Gadsden and other points send word that they are coming in large num- bers.
 At the request of the citizens of Talladega the famous Tuskegee band will give a municipal concert on the court house lawn in the evening.
 The fact that Talladega has won over Tuskegee four years in success sion gives added zest to the contest. The change in Tuskegee's coaching staff has given to Tuskegee the best team she has ever had, so say those who have seen her playthis season. And it Is evident that this is going to be some scrap.

GERALDINE FAIRFAX SINGS
 FOR BIRMINGHAM THURSDAY
Masonic Auditorium Still Has Many Good Seats Available. Diva Not Disturbed By At- Ianta Incident

Geraldine Farrar is not in the least nerturbed over dispatches from At lanta announcing that use of a church auditorium has been denied her for her scheduled concert in the Georgia capital Friday night, re- porters were told when they visited her private car at the Terminal sta ton Wednesday evening.
 Jack Savage, her manager, said he had already arranged over long dis thee for the concert to be held in an- other auditorium.
 "Farrar will not cancel the At lanta gagement-that's certain" said Savage. "She will sing there Friday night and Atlantlans are go- ing forward with the necessary ar rangements."
 AS is her usual custom, Glorious Geraldine" declined to be inter- viewed. sending word to the plat form of her car that there was noth- ing she cared to say for publication.
 The famous singer and her concert company reached Birmingham late Wednesday afternoon, in readiness for their concert at S:15 o'clock Thursday night in the Masonic audi torium The concert is under aus pices of the All star Concerts.
 According to members of the com pany, Farrar's voice was never in better condition: A capacity audi ence is expected to hear her here.

Says Driver Innocent

MERIDIAN. Miss, Nov. 2S.-(Spe- Sial Ut is currently rumored in Meridian that Clark Morgan, the one - eyed taxicab driver, who was driving the car containing the bandits that robbed the Bank of Cuba, Ala, at Cuba, this morning at 9 o'clock. is being held by the authorities, but this is denied by Owen, manager of the Ninety-two Taxicab company of Meridian.
 MT. owen said: "The young fellow who engaged the taxi this morning was nothing but a kid. certainly not over 22 years old. He was, of course, clean shaved, but roughly dressed and wearing brogan shoes. Clark Morgan collected his fare in ad- vance,"
 Mir Owen. continuing, said: "The man from Cuba who brought my car in from the woods. where it had been abandoned, informed me that Clark was tied and gagged and kept in the tonneau of the car until just before the car was abandoned, when he was released by the bandits. l was also informed there were three men besides the driver in the car"
 One peculiar feature of this hold up is the cashier was in no way bound and had he been armed could have shot the bandits as they went out of the bank. The woods are full of men searching for the bandits and great hopes of capture are held out, because it is generally believed the job was done by local talent.

POSSE HUT AF TER
 CUBA BANK BANDIT
Sumter County Institution Looted Of $6,50O In Day.
 light HoIdup

CUBA, Ala. Nov. 2s.-(special.)-- )-- The boldest and most sensational daylight bank robbery ever known in this section. was pulled here this morning at 9:15 o'clock, when two bandits drove up in front of the Bank of Cuba, in a Meridian taxi cab, entered the bank, forced Char lie McGowen, the cashier, to open the safe, put nearly S6,500 in cur rency and gold in sack and es- capped in the car. Up to the pres ent time the car has been found in the woods about 10 miles from Me ridian. The taXicab driver was tied in the ear and some money was in the car which the bandits had left.
 In describing the hold up MT. Me- Gowen said;
 T was standing in the cashiers heard the door shut: l looked up and faced a pistol in hands of a young looking man weighing about 1S0 pounds. Another smaller man was outside the cage with a pistol point ed at me. The larger man said hands up" and I Immediately help up my hands. The man seemed ner- vous himself He tried to raise the shade in the front window and looked out of the window several times. He spilled some loose change on the floor and he told me a dozen times If l moved he would shoot. He forced me with pistol in my side to open the safe, then he called to the other robber to bring the sack. The small CT man put the money in sack and both went out and got in the car. 1 heard the whin of the starter as they started the car, got in the car as it started out of the tow nof Cuba" !"
 All the sheriff's forces of Sumter county and of Lauderdale county, Mississippi, are after the bandits, in addition to a number of Cuba citi- zens who followed the bandits car.
 The country where the bandits abandoned their car is wild, broken country, covered with woods, but the people of Cuba believe that the posse is so hot behind the robbers they will be captured.
