WARNING TO BOYS

Our attention has been called
to the fact that boys should
be very careful about prowl-
ing around the stores and al
leys, and playing Halloween
pranks Of nights. With q
close watch being kept for
bandits, those playing such
pranks are putting themselves
in great danger. Parents
should remind their children
OF this fact, and caution them
accordingly.

Aged Noble County Farmer Robbed

Henry Pryor, aged 90, wealthy
retired farmer of near Harrietts-
vile, was bound and gagged by
masked bandits, and his housekeep-
er Margaret Schafer, 65, was bound
to a chair, Tuesday night, while rob-
bers ransacked the Pryor house,
which is located of the main road.
For some time it has been reported
that Pryor kept large sums of mon
ey and bonds in his house. The rob-
bers entered the residence about 8
O'Clock and overpowered Mr.. Pryor
and Mrs. Schafer. The former was
tied to the bed in his room; the lat
ter to chair. Neither was molested
and there was no threat, of torture
Each was gagged to prevent any
outcry. After the bandits had ran
sacked the house, in which it is stat
ed they got considerable money,
they left. In time Mrs Schafer freed
herself and called the sheriff of No
BILE county, and an alarm was broad
cast and a search for the robbers
was begun. It is stated that the
Bowman gang is suspected of the
robbery.

Judge Price Files Answer

T. d. Price, judge of the court of
common pleas, has filed his answer
ing affidavits to the affidavits of
Homer F. Pickens, Crooksville, Ar
thur J. Ferguson, Shawnee, and j.
E. Powell, city, which were filed
here Sept. 19, charging that Price
was prejudiced, and asking that he
be set aside from the bench during
the trial of the suit brought to
break the will of the late Mary j.
Newberry Prices answering affi-
davit, written in first person, is di-
rected to Darlington C. Marshall,
chief justice of the state supreme
court, who is to decide whether the
judge is to be retained or removed
from the bench, in the will case.
Powell and Pickens will have until
Oct. II to file rebutting affidavits,
after which the entire collection of
affidavits will be sent to the chief
justice. In his answer to Powell,
Price sets forth what occurred in
his court up to the time the delay
in the trial of the Newberry will
case was made necessary by the
charges of prejudice filed against
his judgeship. He denies the charges
of prejudice, denies having treated
attorneys in his court with scorn
and contempt" denies he is MAX
ing political capital out of the case,
asserts that he had no interest in
the outcome of the case, says there
is no reason why he should step
aside in favor of foreign Judge,
unless the chief justice so orders.

MOVIE SIDELIGHTS

deals with a phase Of metropoli-
tan life with which everyone is
familiar. Powell Is seen as a phe-
nomenally successful lawyer, who
defends doubtful persons from the
machinery Of the law, and who
wins Ease after case in spite OF
the suspicious levelled against him
by the bar association and the
police department.
One OF the early thrills OF the
film is the scene wherein Powell
demonstrates his daring by DASH
ing nitroglycerine to the floor OF
a court room. He shows himself
to be not only brilliant and crafty
but courageous as well.
But the time comes when he is
confronted with a problem which
Is too much for his ~cleverness.
His actress sweetheart Is con-
fronted with a life term for man
slaughter. Powell is defending
her. He learns. too late, that she
is guilty. There is one way to
save her-he must take the rap
himself. What happens is the big
climactic moment OF the play.

actress sweetheart. Scott Kolk

TAX FIGURES
TO Be HIGHER
Little Chance Seen For
Reduction Allowed
Last Year

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2i.-R-
Treasury officials see little pros
poets OF maintaining for next year
the reduction Of one per cent in
income taxes which was allowed
this year as an emergency measure
by congress.
Congressional action would be
necessary 10 extend the emergency
reduction over another year. Unless
action is taken at the short session
beginning next December. the tax
rates enacted in 1928 would apply
on next years taxes.
while the outlook is not regarded
as hopeful for the lower tax scale,
Secretary Mellon said today 1t was
too early TO begin talking with any
definitenass about the tax situation.
The treasury secretary said no
estimate would be made about the
future at this time. 1t was indi-
Gated he agreed with the treasury
experts that the general business
situation just now does not warrant
reduction over anotndR ear.
No action Is expected 20 be taken
by the treasury in formulation Of
the tar palicy for next year until
shortly before the December seS-
sion Of congress convenes.

Collectors Must Be
Persistent-Dienst

AUSTIN, Aug. 21.-tRl-"A col
Iector is like a buzzard- He can
smell o document miles and miles
away and is relentless in his chase
of cherished mementos," DR.. Alex
ander Dienst Of Temple, one of
Texas most noted collectors said
recently. DR.. Dienst has one Of the
most complete home museums Of
Texas historical objects in exist
ence.
Persistency, according to the
Temple collector, is the rarest jewel
In the collecting game. When a
collector knows someone has a
document he wants, he keeps that
person in sight thirty and forty
years and in the end usually gets
what he is after. He doesn't ex-
actly want the person to die, but
when ne does die, the collector
knows he can get his document
from the heirs" On. Dienst said.
