TWO AUGUSTA BOYS
HELD AS ROBBERS
Of FILLING STATION

AUGUSTA, Ga, Jan. Troy and
Earl Hardeman, brothers, Augusta
boys just out of their teens, are in
jail at Washington, Ga, charged
with robbing a filing station safe at
Crawfordville, Ga, last Friday night,
and both have made confession, ac-
cording to Sheriff J. T. Plunkett, of
this city, who made a statemen
about the case today following his
return from Washington.
One of Sheriff Sturaevant's depu-
ties at Crawfordville, according to
Sheriff Plunkett. discovered 1.-THE
Hardeman brothers in the act of
rlfiinS the safe Of a filing station
ON Main street in. Crawfordville, and
shot Earl Hardeman in the les as
the boys fled. Troy Hardeman, the
elder brother, escaped to a waiting
car more than a block away, drove
around the corner and approached
the filing station from a different
direction. Driving up to the scene,
he asked the officer what was the
trouble, and with the officers per.
mission walked over to his injured
brother, offered him cigarette and
gave him a dollar bill, telling his
piVlllSL dS IlIc SdIIlV IIHl6 LndC lie
was sorry to see him in this trouble
and hoped he would come out all
right. The officer failed to suspect
Troy Hardeman, and the young man
got in his car and drove away. The
officers suspicious were aroused
after the excitement had died down,
and procuring an automobile he went
with other officers in pursuit OF
Hardeman, experimenting him at
Greensboro, Ga.
Six filing stations have been rob-
bed in August IN as many weeks
and methods identical to those used
at Crawfordville were mployed, ac-
cOrding to Sheriff Plunkett, who said
he was convinced that an organized
gang of safe-blowers were at work
in Georgia, with headquarters in At
lanta, and that the Hardeman broth
ers were members Of this gang.
Sheriff Plunkett said Troy Harde-
man escaped from the county stock
ade here last June 9, making a get
away, with five other prisoners, by
saving the bars of thei~ cell on the
third floor and lowering themselves
to the ground by means Of a rope.

FIGHT FOR MODIFIED
DRY LAW RENEWED
BY GOV. Al SMITH

ALBANY, N. Y. Jan. 2.-Further
efforts of modification of the Vol
stead act were suggested in Gov
ernor Smiths message to the new
Legislature today. He urged that
New Yorks Representatives be asked
to lay before the present congress a
memorial to congress adopted by the
last legislature.
The last esssion of the legisla-
ture," said the message, memorial
lied congress by resolutions to
change the present narrow, sense
less definition of what constitutes an
intoxicating beverage as set forth in
the NoIstead act, to the end that
there may be permitted the manu-
facture and sale of light vines and
beer, under the careful restrictions
set forth in our legislative enactment
of 1920. (This enactment was Il law
legalizing the manufacture and sale
of PTS per cent beer, Which9was de-
clared unconstitutional by state
cOurts.)
subsequently the legislature
further defined the policy of the state
in relation to this subject by the
repeal of the state law which in eff
feet left enforcement of the NolStead
act with both state and federal gov
ernments and left the prosecution for
violation of the Nolstead act entirely
with the federal government. 1t
must be remembered, however. that
this did not and can not and will not
bring about a change in the present
definition of what constitutes an in
dictment. An amendment to the Vol
stead act is only possible by the
congress of the United States.
'Inasmuch as we have q new con-
Sress now in session, L suggest that
by reolution properly adopted you
call the attention of our representa-
tives from this state to the action of
last winter and request them to lay
it before the present congress"
Governor Smith asked that the
state commission for regulation of
motion pictures be abolished. Point
ing out that a statute Furnishes OBJ
scenity, he wrote:
state interference with literary
or artistic production beyond the pro-
hibition of the criminal law is con-
blSi1 ~ INC IuHhcIItlSlIbCl pI 1LISiIlIt

Other recommendation in the mes
sage include:
Forty-eight-hou maximum week
for women and minors IN industry,
with Il minimum wage commission.
Reduction of the state income tax
by 25 per cent.
Removal of all statutory discrimina
ton AGAINST women.
Limitation Of injunctions in labor

THE NEW COMMON LABOR

For the benefit of those who are Worrying about
how America is going to get on without the alien
hordes who used to furnish common labor James
H. Collins in late Saturday Evening Post has fig
ures to aay their fears.
In 1880, one horsepower of steam per wage Garner
was used. Now, in factories about four horsepower
per laborer is used and in all industrial activities new
forms of power have almost entirely taken the place
of the less efficient "man-engines."
In road-building, mo further back than three
years ago, Italians by the half-hundred swarmed
the job Today they come in gangs of haf-dozen
bringing machines that do the work several times as
fast and good deal better!"
In government service there too many work
ers, and much work is sackly done "If only Is per
cent of the government employees were shifted into
other occupations, that would far more than make
up for the loss of immigration under the new law
This is a matter of management rather than of
chancs. The two work hand in hand.
In the south, the "darky- -and-mue" type of farm
ing helpless against the boil weevil. Scientific
farming is making headway against it, with less
power.
In the home, aso mechanics and management
home do much work. Machines out of the home do
much. Scientific planning of housework business
is doing the rest
The idea that the native American will not per-
form labor because it is rough and dirty, says
Mr.. Collins, is superstition He'll do anything it
YOU give him power to do it with, although '.t will
still be rough and drty-running an air drill or
shovel is clerical job.
There may be something in this. The native Amer
lean certainly loves the of power and skill that
handling power machinery gives him. And he likes
any job that pays him enough to give him generous
living.
Work is much better done with power machines
plus brains than with muscle. And some new
kind of power machine Improvement on the old one
is being invented every minute.

BY H. C. CLAY

I SEATTLE, Sept. A-,-The long,
cold arm of the arctic is reaching
down for victims and staunch ships
are fighting a battle with frigid
( death.
Not in years has the age7old
struggle of man against the ice
been waged so bitterly as in the
1924 season of the Far North.
Man and his ships have been los
| ing
An, unusually vicious drive of po-
lar ice has engulfed luckless yes
sells in a grinding, crushing mass
and whirled them from their course
to an uncertain fate upon the
stretches of a frozen sea.
The motor schooner Lady Kind
ersley, trapped in the ice pack with
% men op board; the mystery of
the schooner Maid of Orleans, with
an American girl as passenger, and
the thrilling duel of the coast guard
cutter Bear are high marks in this
grim log of desperate ocean adven-
ture.
The Lady Kindersley, a Hudson
Bay Company vessel was caught in
the ice swirl so miles east of Point
Barrow, Alaska, and held prisoner,
cut off from open water lanes and
her % men in peril of starvation
and freezing. The crew were taken
off and the boat abandoned last
week.
The plight of the Maid of Or
leans is unknown. Mariners have
expressed grave fears for her safe
ty and every effort is being made
to ascertain her position.
Girl on Board
The schooner, which sailed from
Seattle June 25, is in command of
Captain Christian Klingenberg,
white ruler of Victoria Land, which
lies in the far reaches of the north
beyond the Beaufort Sea and 1000
n-.es northeast of Point Barrow.
Among the nine persons on board
was Miss Alice Supplee, pluclSy
young school teacher-the first
'Yhite girl to venture on voyage
to the far distant island.
The schooner was last heard from
$50 miles north of Nome. She had
been unable to land there on ac-
count of severe weather. 1t is few
feared that she, too, has become
marooned in the ice fields.
Captain Klingenberg, with two of
his sons, made a spectacular
