With 10000 persons a year dying
as a result of accidents, the American
Red Cross is waging a nationwide
campaign to reduce this annual loss of
life. In the last twelve months it has
instructed more than 10000 persons
in the United States in first aid for
the injured, while the number of per-
sons enrolled in it's life saving corps
after receiving intensive instruction in
methods for rescuing and reviving the
drowning persons, has reached nearly
$4,000. During the year it has also
given more than 1000 lectures and
demonstrations for the furtherance of
this campaign.
In addition to helping with the adj
ministrative and other phases of the
work, Red Cross volunteers have dur
ing the year, produced more than a
quarter Of million garments and two
and a quarter surgical dressings for

contingencies. They have also trans
cribed 1876 volumes into Braille, a
system of raised lettering whereby
the blind are enabled to read. Practi-
cally all Braille TRANSFERRING in this
country is done by Red Cross volun-
teers.
The American Red Cross makes no
appeals for funds during the year
except following great national dis
asters in which cases all funds con-
tributed are spent for relief work in
the disaster for which the appeal is
made. This entire program of service
is financed from membership dues OBJ
tanned during the Roll Call. In adj
dition to this the membership funds
finance many relief operations follow
ing relatively small disasters in which
no special appeal is made.

YOUTHS ARE RELEASED;
EVIDENCE INSUFFICIENT
Grafton Lads, After Ten Days
in County Jail, Are Set Free

Ray Kline and Victor Nutter, two
youths of Grafton, West Va, who
have been held in the County Jail in
Oakland during the past ten days sus-
pected of being implicated in the rob
berry of Warnick's Store at Deer Park,
were released from Jail yesterday and
allowed to return to their homes.
An investigation conducted by the
officers Of the county revealed that
there was not sufficient evidence to
hold the two boys on the charge Of
burglary and Justice W. A. Gender,
before whom the boys had had their
hearing, ruled that the ten days they
had spent in jail was sufficient pun
ishment for train riding, the technical
charge made against them when they
were arrested in Oakland.
The two boys were taken from a
freight train Friday a week ago when
it became known that Warwick 5
store had been robbed and that the
culprits were suspected of being on a
west-bound freight train.
The story of the boys that they had
been train riding was substantiated
by their parents in Grafton and JUS
tice Gender deemed it unnecessary to
hold them any longer.
Boys Rob Store.
A news item in the Cumberland
papers during the past week related
story of two boys robbing a store
at Romney, w. Va. The alleged rob-
bers were Paul Harding and Harry
Nine, both of Cumberland, who were
picked up in Oakland Sunday week
ago by Sheriff W. D. Casteel, who.
after questioning them, put them on
train bound for Cumberland. The
boys, it is said, did not ride the train
to Cumberland but left it at Keyser
w. Va, and it is assumed that they
reached Romney from that point.

 She declared he had pawned her l"Welry to buy liquor. neglected to tell her of his past, misrepresented his financial condition and burned holes in her best frocks.
 All of these charges, and a few more, were denied by Somerset in San Francisco where he is playing the lead in stage production, Tn terference.' Denies Charges
 "I never struck her in my life," said Somerset. As to concealing my past life. my affairs were aired on the front pages of newspapers for more than year. She could scarce ly have failed to know about them, I've paid all the bills. She even has all my last weeks salary"
 The front page" past referred 10 by Somerset began when he was nam'' '-respondent in a di- Norre --..t ol Carl Carlton, London producer, against his wife, Edith Day, an actress. Somerset and Mar garet Zimmerman previously had been married and divorced Somer- set then married Miss Day. who di vorce1 him in Minneapolis after two years.

 Lawyer Goes Too
 Moylan said he would return with Aoppe to fight the charge. Frank Hickey. former clerk in the grocery store where Hoppe masked as George r. Bersig' by day while ply ing robbers trade by night, has declared he will so with Hoppe to Vermont to help as he may.
 The other associate of Hoppe's Jckyl-Hydc existence here last year Helen Mayberry, who lived as Grocer Bersig's wife-has left for Providence, R. l., after disclosing to police the full story of Hopes double life.
 Connecticut authorities released the prisoner because of the relative unimportancc of the charges they have placed against him.

newspapermen. At 2:2O a. m., he called for glass of lemonade. Pre- \lously he had been shaved and given haircut at his own request. He was supplied with a new fresh- ly pressed blue serge suit for the hanging.
 With his death less than an hour away, Birger sat in his cell, joking lightly with relatives and friends. An undertaker's hearse with q morgue slab for Birgers body lying on the ground by its side. was park cd outside the stockade. His nephew, Nathan Birger, said the body would be taken to St. Louis for burial.
 Birger was the last man to die in Illinois on the gallows. The state has passed law by which execu- tions will be performed in the cleo tric chair in the future.
 Gangs Broken Up.
 The hanging of Birger was expect ed to mark the fulflllment of States Attorney Martins statement toward the close of his trial:
 These convictions mean the re- turn of supremacy of the law in southern Illinois,
 The gangs have been broken up and many of their members arc dead or in prison.
 The Shelton gang. which yied with the Fingers in dominating the coal field by machine guns and bombs while they carried on their cam paign of bootlegging, robbery and eNtortion, has also been dissipated. The Shelton brothers themselves, Carl. Earl and Bernie. after evading a sentence of 25 years in prison for bank robbery by obtaining revors- al of their conviction, are near to prison. They were convicted on an- other bank robbery charge and are out on heavy bail pending a new trial.
 Die in Warfare.
 Many of their henchmen and Bir. gers followers died in the deadly warfare between the two gangs. Some were killed when the Sheltons riddled shady Rest" with machine gun bullets and set it afire. One by one, other members of both gangs were taken for 2 ride" or shot dead in the street. Art Newman and Ray Hyland, Birger's right hand men, are serving life terms for the Adams murder. So is Harry Thomassin, one of the actual slayers. His brother Elmo. another of the slay- CTS, was killed i'll the burning of shady Rest"
 One of the most atrocious crimes attributed 10 the Birger gang was the murder of Lory Price. highway patrolman, and his wife. Newman, who confessed to witnessing the murders. named Birger as one of the slayers. Prices body was found buried under pile of brush with o7 machine gun bullets in it. His wife's body was dumped in an aban- doned mine.
 Birger believed his machine gun rule was so strong that the law could not touch him. For weeks after the warrant was issued for his arrest on the Adams murder charge, he defied authorities to arrest him. He said he was too busy hunting Carl shelton, having bet $500 that he would kill him.
