William Popcke a Lutheran clergyman, of 424 East S4th street. was arrest ed yesterday on & charge of grand larceny. He was held in s50,O00 bail by Magistrate Goodman.
 Popcke's arrest followed com- plaints to the district attorney that about 300 persons had instructed s30o,o00 to Popcke for Investment" only 10 receive no return. The spe- ci1c charge upon which he was held was brought by officials of Town hall who said that on Nov. last, Popcke gave them a bogus check for S2o0 as part of the rental of the hall for that night, When Popcke held there what he called Schu- bert Brahms concert.

He was born and spent his early life right here in the West Tennessee hill country, worked on the farm when lad, went to Yale university and graduated, made up his mind 10 stay there, read law, and began to work in that profession.

 AS q matter of fact. the ticket suggested by Representative Reece would be a very good one, mighty hard 10 bat. As the boys used 10 say, there are no flies on that ticket. and those chosen by the opposite party would find their road not an easy one to travcl.'
 There is one aspect of this action of Representative Rceccs which gives rise to interesting speculation. lt is a generally accepted idea that Southern Republicans have a way of doing only what is approved by the Republican National Committee and the Administration.
 Consequently Washington is won dering whether or not this idea Of Q ticket composed of q presidential candidate of unequalled strength, among Republican possibilities, in the South, and a New England con- servative leader who was born in a state which is classed as "doubtful' may have the approval of the Ad- ministration and the Republican na- tional leaders.

 Representative Rccce has sent the following letter to Tennessee newspapers:
 Tennessee Is, and has been strongly behind the Administration, and the people, l am sure, share my regret that President Coolidge dc clnes to consider a renomination. "The carrying forward of his poll cies is of greatest importance, not only to Tennessee, with its rapid industrial development, but to the entire country.
