President, Cashier Kidnapped
In Lake City, S. c., After
Children Are Tied Up

LAKE CITY, S. c.. Sept. 5
G.N.SO Robbers armed with
machine guns today kidnapped two
officials of the Palmetto State
Bank here, forced them to open
the bank vault and, taking the
officials with them, fled in two
automobiles with all the cash on
hand, known to have exceeded
100000.
The kidnapped officials, J. Hoyt
Carter, president, and j. Fred
Stalvey, cashier, were released at
Lamar, S. c., about so miles from
here, an hour later, unharmed.
Tied Up Children
Mayor Dalziel said the thugs
first went to the homes Of
Carter and Stalvey, forcing them
to accompany them to the bank.
It was also reported the robbers
tied the three Carter children in
their beds.
Mrs. J. D. Barrow, an eye-wit,
ness to the robbery, told Mayor
Dalziel she saw one of the robbers
go out of the bank with a bag,
supposedly containing the money,
and enter car, gray sedan.
Saw Several Men
She said several men were in
the car, and another car standing
nearby roared away at the same
time.
According to w. Lee Flowers,
vice president of the bank, there
was $4,000 in cash in the bank
several days ago and that he had
taken out insurance to cover this
amount at the suggestion OF

President Roosevelt stepped into
the national textile strike for the

ment that later today he will
name a three-man special board
Of mediation to try to end the
strike.
The Presidents announcement
came at an hour when strike
leaders were claiming victory and

ting mills from Georgia to New
England were being forced to shut
down by flying squadrons" of
strikers.
Directors of the strike went
into a huddle to determine their
attitude on President Roosevelt's
decision to appoint an independ-
ent mediatory board of three per.
sons to attempt a settlement.
The strikers position will be
made clear within few hours.
Truce Doubtful
Whether the Presidents inter-
vention will bring an immediate
truce was problematical. Directors
of the strike went into an imme-
diate huddle in Washington upon
news of the Presidents action and
said they would announce their
position within few hours.
Meantime Francis j. German,
chairman of the national strike
committee, declared reports from
all sections of the country gave
an encouraging aspect to the sue"
cess of the walkout. He claimed
more than 100000 out of 650,000
workers were out and that the
ranks of the strikers were growing
hourly.
George A. Sloan. head Of the
Cotton Textile Institute, admitted
large number of mills were be-
ing closed, but declared the
workers we're being coerced into
leaving their looms and were not
quitting voluntarily.
"MObs" Blamed
He declared the strike was be-
ing kept alive by "a mob minor
ity," that not one mill had shut
down after the opening days OF
the strike because of a voluntary
Walkout of workers.
He predicted mobile units Of
strikers, travelling in flying
suuadrons" from mill to mill,
would force many mills in Con-
necticut to close by nightfall. He
admitted the effectiveness Of these
forces in other sectors, both North
and South.

IS MILLION
$51 ,699,224 Asked BY Heads
OF Departments; Relief,
Schools Boost Total
BY EARL GOODWIN


The heads of departments of the
District government have asked
for $51, ,699,244 for the fiscal wear
1885, which is $l6,299,224 more
than is carried in the present D.
C. appropriation act allowing $685..
400, 900.
1t is an approximate $4,000, 900
increase over the requests of the
same departments a year ago.
There is a requested increase in
every department of Government
except in the items for the Ma
tional Capital Parks and Planning
Commission, which shows a de-
crease of $14,894 in its request.
Public hearings on the estimates
will begin September II.
Relief Fund Up
The largest increase is in the de.
partment of public welfare, which
this year asks for $12,923, 1862, an
increase of $5,SO9,965.
The principal item in the pub
lie welfare increase is 100000
for emergency relief in the Ma
tional Capital instead of $2,0O0,o00
as in the present appropriation
act.
This means that the District
authorities fear that the Federal
grants for relief from the FERA
may run OUT in 1886 and the
Commissioners want to have a
sufficient appropriation to meet
the needs, which the relief work
erS believe will not be smaller
but even larger in 1886 than they
are today.
Schools Ask Increases
The board of education asks
$14,119,911, for operation and
new buildings, a total increase Of
$4,269,840. The water service
asks an increase of $1,2O5, 900.
General expenses of the Dis
trict government would increase
by $539, ,974; miscellaneous items
of expense by $57,534; sewers
would require $1,180.OOO, an in
crease of $446,00O; public parks
officials ask $685., ,708, an increase
of $4,000; courts and prisons
ask $913,969, an increase of $173,-
900.
Sewer Fund Omitted
The total of $51, ,699,224 does
not include the million-dollar re-
endorsement to the United States
for the PWA loan of approx
mately $1,7OO,O0O for sewers and
for the plans for the Blue Plains
sewage disposal plant.
Details of the estimates were
not made public today, but the
school items include large sums
requested for the Dennison voca-
tional school, ten-room addition
to the Eliot Junior High School,
sums for Paul Junior High School,
Randall Junior High School, two
wings for the AnacoStia Junior
High School which is to be started
this month, plans and specifica-
tions for a new senior high school
in Manor Park, extensive addi-
tions to Armstrong High School,
plans and specifications for a new
high school in northeast Washing
ton, a site for a new junior high
school near Massachusetts, Avenue
