GIRL, HELD CAPTIVE
BY old MAN, SAFE.
Atlanta High Student Bares
Story of Drugs, Death
Threats.
BY the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, Ga, January 4.-Kid-
napers, death threats, drugs and dirty
shack formed the melodramatic Sc
quence of the story, told today by a
pretty high school girl who was found
bound and gagged after two days alb
sence from home.
Doris Turner, Hoke Smith High
School athlete, collapsed last night in
filling station. She had been found
nearby bound at the ankles. The girl
said she had been released, unharmed
by kindly old man with a cane" for
whom police had been searching for
two days.
Blindfolds. she asserted, had kept her
from discerning where she was after
being held most of the two days in a
dirty shack.
The authorities started an investiga-
ton Wednesday at the request of her
parents, who had received a special de-
livery letter from her to the effect that
she had been abducted by a stopped old
man, who cried when he recalled that
she resembled his daughter, now dead
The old man wanted to kill her, she
added; another man objected and per-
suaded his companion to return the girl
to Atlanta because things were getting
hot"
A physician said the child had not
been harmed and was suffering only
from exposure and weak condition
caused by lack of food.

SENATOR ASKS DRY
PROBEBYCONGRESS
Jones Would Have Only
Friends of Prohibition on
Committee-EarIy Action.
BY the Associated Press.


An investigation of prohibition en-
forcement by congressional commit
tee was proposed yesterday by Senator
Jones of Washington, who announced
he intended the inquiry to be made by
friends of the dry cause.
The Washington Senator, a Repub-
lican, proposed the investigation in a
resolution which stipulated that the
work be done by Senate committee,
but he said later that he was willing
to have the inquiry conducted by joint
committe of Senators and House men,
berS.
Referred to the Senate judiciary COM
mittee, the resolution is in prospect of
early consideration there, as Senator
Norris of Nebraska, chairman of the
committee, said he had no objection to
immediate discussion of the proposal
Senator Jones believes the inquiry
should be conducted by committee
composed entirely of friends of prohibi-
ton, so that the investigation would not
be carried into channels calculated to
lay the liquor laws open to attack. The
direct aim of the inquiry would be to
determine the best means and methods
for improving enforcement" and to
make "a complete investigation and
study of the system of enforcement"

Belated Fame Comes
To W SIS Wasoners

Wagon freighters were a breed
of men whose services in winning
the West have received little
recognition. according to Ken
Maynard. who appears in "fhe
Wagon Master" at the Gregg
Theatre Dec. IL.
These men bauled supplies
to isolated mining camps and
army posts in day when trans
portation was matter of extreme
difficulty" Maynard explained.
The very life of the early
western communities depended
upon the strength and courage
of the men who rauled food
supplies through rough and dan
gerous countries. The wagon
freighters were a hard fighting,
tenacious crew that stopped at
nothing when it came to getting
their wagons through to their
destination.
The theme of my picttrue is
the fight for trade between
honest and dishonest wagon
organizations. Food prices in the
early West were necessarily high.

College Would Eradicate \
Damaging Smut Germ

W. S. c., Pullu- an, Dec. 8
That the introdution Of a new
variety of smooth spored smut,
lTilletia Lewis, which has become
Eprevalent in wheat districts since
the war, makes necessary new
m .thods for combating tFis great
wheat evil in the Pacific north
west, is the conclusion of DIR. E.
IF. Games. associate professor
IF farm crops at the State College
of Washington, who. in company
with two other experts, made a
smut survey through the princi-
pal wheat regions Of Washington
during the past summer.
Collaborating with DR.. Gaines
were DR.. H. H. Flor, plant path
ologist at the State College. and
DR.. F. j. Stevenson, who receiv-
ed his Phi. D. at the close of the
NV. S. C. summer session, in the
field of plant breeding and gene
tics.
'iThe largest amount Of smut
was found in fields of Hybrid
128," DR.. Gaines declares.
Fields of Triplet and Fortyfold
varied from a trace to 18 per
cent; Turkey was in general high
! ly resistant, but one field con-
tanned eight per cent Of smutled
heads. AS much as 20 per cent
was found in Baart and one field
Of Hybrid 1913 was over half smut.
The average of five fields was
l26.5 per cent.
"Of the 81 samples collected.
a microscopic examination show
ed half of them to contain only
the rough sporeu form known as
Tilletia tritici. The others con-
ltajned either mixtures of smooth
fand rona b spores Or only ssnoeth.
Fields of Albit and Turkey con.
tained more smooth than rough
spored, Total results OF the ex-
animation revealed that the
smooth spored form was present
in half the collections. Ten years
ago when the extensive Federal
survey was made, not a single
collection of smooth-spored STUNT
was found in this area.
THE State College experiment
station has been working for the
past 15 years in an attempt to
find or develop resistant varieties
to help solve the smut problem.
We particularly noted on the
collection trip that Of all the fields
of Ridit wheat examined there
was not so much as one per cent
of Ridit heads smutted. and In
many fields there was absolutely
none. In some fields of Ridit
which had evidently been sown
without treating the seed, the
mixtures of otncr varieties were
badly smutted, a fact whieh!. in
dicates that if one is to grow
Ridit without treating the seed,
it is mighty desirable to have it
as nearly 100 per cent pure as
