Couple Bound Over For
Attempted kidnapping
Charged With kidnapping Myrtle
Manon, Sister of Mrs. Tarte; APP
pretended at Manchester

When H. L. Manon returned to his
home at 207 North Thomas Street on
Saturday night as was his custom, he
looked into his daughters room and
found her missing, and also failed to
find his daughter Mae and her hus-
band, he became suspicious and upon
making investigation found that the
trio had left by the A. B. & A. west
bound passenger train for Birmingham.
Mr. Manon took out warrant for
Tarte and his wife for kidnapping their
sister, and wired the authorities at
Manchester to take charge of the party
on arrival at the junction point.
Sunday morning Mr.. Manon was adj
vised by the chief of police of Man
chester that he had his party in charge
and Deputy Gordon Roberts left on
the noon train for Manchester to
bring them back to the city.
A commitment trial was had~before
Judge F. M. Powers who bound Tarte
over under a 5000 bond and held Mrs
Tarte under 500 bond for the next
term of Ben Hill Superior Court. Myr-
tie Manon was returned to her father
The party was headed for San Fran
cisco, where the Manon's have an aunt
living, who had sent Myrtle 500 fol
her travelling expenses. Mr.. Manor
objected to her going to California
and thus arose the little family row.

Negro Migration

In Northern Cities
Chief of Health Bureau Proposes to
Vaccinate All Negroes

PHILADELPHIA Proposals for
a federal insurance section and vacci-

reau of health.
They will be formally made by the

the plan was not received enthusiast

ali cities To which the unvaccinated
southerncrs are migrating.
The movement nc nth which has been
under way for several months, has
resulted III smallpox outbreaks in a
score of cities, officials said. In ev-
cry inseance these outbreaks have
been traced to arrival Of large crowds
OF negroes from southern districts.
1t was said Yesterday that an appeal
will be taken to higher officials in
Washington in an endeavor to have
some plan worked out, Reports from
other cities have indicated they may
join in a general movement to check
the influx from the south. Just what
steps will be adopted likely will be
determined at conference of health
officials of various cities which may
be called for the near future.

LEGION CRITICIZES
HISTORY TEXTBOOKS

indianapolis, Ind. June 14.-Directing
criticism at certain histories of the
United tSates proposed for use in Ind
lana schools Frank Henley, adjutant
of the American Legion in Indiana has
succeeded in having the Objectionable
works in question failed to pay proper
Henley's representations, made to the
school commissioners, were that the
worksin question failed to pay proper
regard for the historic acts of Ameri-
cans during the Revolution.
The books named were "A History
of the American People," by William
Mason West, former professor Of his
tory in the University of Idaho, and,
"An American History by DR.. David
Saville Muzzey.
Henley's statement wasJnade on the
basis of reports from A. n. Conner of
Idaho, and supplemental remarks by
Judge Wallace McCammant, chair
man of the committee on patriotic ed
ucation of the Sons of the American
Revolution. The Indiana man declared
Vests book made statements about
men in public life which stamped the
author as "a loose thinker, utterly un-
fit to mould the plastic and impression
able minds of school children"
Both books were named in recent
report made to Mayor Hylan of New
York, who barred them from the
schools of that city on the ground
that they sought to disseminate anti
American and pro-British propaganda.
Mr. Henlyes principal objection to
the works was in line with the com
plant made to Mayor Hylan. He de-
clared that the ride of Paul Revere is
omitted and that the battle of Lexing-
ton and Concord is treated of in 'but
forty-two words" ''The Legion's OBJ
jections are made solely on patriotic
grounds, as we have no knowledge as
to the names of the publishers of either
book" declared Henley's letter.
