To Clutter

By STANLEY BIGELOW

Bumped into L. z. Phillips,
''the man who makes the from
bone talk" over WJSV. Il. e."
is apparently one of the most
absent-minded men extant.
1t seems during the Woflo War,
Phillips, then bandmasser at the
Marine barracks at Quantico,
first set "The Marines Hymn"
to music. He obtained copy
right on his efforts and then
promptly forgot about it.
The other day, going TIN Ough
some old papers. he discovered
that he was the sole owner Of
the copyright and that every time
the Marines Hymn" was played
by any organization other than
. the Marine Band, ii was an in
fringement on the copyright.
Marine Corps officials conceded
this and Phillips now will be able
to retire on the royalties which
have already started to flow into
his strong box.

The coming season will; un-
doubtedly mark the beginning of
a change in the type of popular
song which has held sway along

MOB ACTION THOUGHT
CHECKED BY ARRESTS
Plan to Drive Colored People From
Community Believed Halted
by Raid.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CARUTHERSVILLE, Mo-, February
3.-Pemiscot County authorities said
they believed today that a sudden raid
and Is arrests had halted what County
Jailer j. A. johnson termed an effort
to drive colored people from the War
dell community, near here.
Reports of explosions and destruction
of property near Wardell, Southeast
ern Missouri town about 40 miles from
Charlottesville, have reached this county
seat for two weeks. When Sheriff Pete
Robertson heard that telephone wires
had been cut he led party Of deputies
to Wardell.
Thirteen men, mostly farmers, were
arrested and charged with dynamiting
personal property and molesting tele-
phone facilities. They were held under
SIS 900 bonds on the dynamite charges
and $500 bonds on the charge of de-
stroying telephone communication. Pre-
liminary hearings were set for Friday.
The jailer said scarcity of jobs gave
rise to anti-colored feeling, which he
declared was not shared by most white
people of the section.
Those arrested denied the charges.

ny REX COLLIER.

Crime took general upward trend
during 1880, with robbery and murder
showing the gravest gains, according
to tabulations and charts prepared by
j. Edgar Hoover, director of the Bureau
Of Investigation.
The findings are based on returns
submitted monthly by So cities, with a
population of 100000 or more each.
The collection and compilation of the
crime statistics are conducted under
special authority of Congress, with the
corporation of chiefs of police and
other State and municipal officials,
The peak of the crime trend in 1880
was reached last November, when the
daily average of criminal offenses en-
braced in the survey scared over the

$50 Offenscs Daily.
The daily average at the outset of
the year was approximately $50 Of
lenses. There were minor fluctuations
during the first half of the year and
q gradual climb upward during the
second half of the November peak. In
December the average dropped off to
slightly below 700 crimes daily.
The fluctuations in robbery, murder
and manSlaughter trends during the
year were marked and curious. There
was a daily average of about So rob-
berries in January year ago, but this
total dropped sharply to about 80 in
May, when the average remained fairly
constant for two months. The daily
total began to rise acutely in July and
the angle was sleeper than ever when
the year ended, with the daily total OF
Eobberies averaging approximately IS.
Murders averaged three day, year
ago, and nearly four day in December.
Between those extremes the murder
trend rose to nearly five a day IN
March a year ago, sagged during the
other Spring months, assembled again
to near the five mark in August and
September and dropped back again in
october and November to three day.
Negligence Toll High.
Negligence caused the death Of an
average of four persons day in Janu-
airy a year ago and nearly five day in
December.
Larcenies of more than $50 increased
the average from about Sc to SO a day
during the IL months Miner thefts
rose from 200 a day to nearly 300 a
