Smiths Of Georgia Weary
Of Name After 100 Years

ATLANTA.-The Georgia senate
approved a bill to change the name
of the Smith boys to MacNabb, and
thereby hangs a tale.
1t seems that 100 years ago the
Smiths progenitor, a hardy Scots
man named MacNabb, eloped to
America with an Irish lass. The
girls father followed the couple, in
tent on breaking UP the marriage.
The newlyweds, advised of the irate
fathers approach, changed their
name to Smith and moved to the
Carolinas
Smith remained the family name
until the present generation, repre-
scented by Malcolm Smith, news edi-
tor Of the Newman Herald, and Her
bert Watson Smith. steel company
employee in Newman, decided the
opposition had died down. They
acted through the legislature to re-
vive the Clan MacNabb.

Bandit Gets $500
In Rush-Hour HoIdup
OF Downtown Shop
Fence Suspect in
Series of D. c. Gem Theft:
Seized in New York

Robbery squad detectives today
were seeking a youthful bandit who
held up a Fourteenth street liquor
store during rush hour late yester-
day and escaped with $500.
Arthur Goldberg, proprietor of the
store in the Trans-Lux Building, told
police the man locked him in a
rear room of the shop and rifled the
cash register, safe and cash box.
When the man entered the store,
he asked for a bottle of wine, but
holding his hand menacingly in his
pocket, quickly commanded Mr..
Goldberg to get in the back room. -
A policeman was directing traffic at
the street intersection a short dis
tance away.
Freed by Delivery Boy.
From the register the thug took
s101. He found $50 more in cash
box under the counter and then
rifled the safe of more than s400,
kept on hand to cash pay checks OF
employees of the bus terminal around
the corner.
Mr. Goldberg was released from
the room about minutes later by
a colored delivery boy.
Meanwhile, Inspector Bernard w
Thompson. chief of detectives, an
nounced the arrest in New York OF
a man believed to be the fence" in
a series of jeWelry thefts in homes
here. Two others believed connected
with the housebreaking already are
in custody.
Inspector Thompson said Detec-
tive Sergt. Harry Britton and Ar
lington County Policeman H. c
Jones co-operated with New York
authorities in trapping the alleged
fence" and returned here with the
man last night.
The officers also brought back a
box of jewels, allegedly stolen from
residents of the District and nearby
Maryland and Virginia during the
series of housebreakings.
Victims Invited to See Loot.
Inspector Thompson invited vic
Tins of the thefts to visit police head
quarters today to see the loot.
Detectives began active solution
of the robbery series three weeks
ago with the arrest of a suspect
here. His statement implicated his
brother n-laW. who later was taken
in custody in New Haven, Conn.
Information gained from the two
resulted in the arrest of the al
legged fence" in New York. The
latter was said to be operating a
barber shop in the BoWery. He was
held under $4,000 bond pending
charges.
A motor cycle officer captured one
of two colored men who attacked
and robbed Carl Jaeger. 1921 Ninth
street NV, and George O'Connor
1900 K street NV, as they walked
through a narrow alley near the N
street address today. The thug who
escaped made off with a small
amount of change taken from the
two men.

American AirIines' School
To Train Mechanics

In the face of national shortage
of trained aviation mechanics to
meet requirements Of the expanding
air defense program, American
Airlines yesterday announced the
opening of an apprentice school.
Airlines in the past have estab-
lished schools for pilots, stew
ardesses and other personnel, but
have depended for mechanics
chiefly upon the military services

expired. These mines usually sign
contracts based on the terms Of the
Appalachian area.
The closing of the mines was fol-
lowed by increasing reports of dWin-
ding coal supplies and threats that
industries here and there would be
affected unless a settlement were
reached at once.
5000 Go to Work in Kentucky.
In response to Mr.. Lewis over
lures to operators outside the APP
palachian area 5000 men returned
to work in II Western Kentucky
mines today, and union officials here
said 10000 men in Kansas and Mis-
souri, were likewise going back under
U. M. w. A. contract.
| The expected settlement of the
coal stoppage was preceded by the
intervention of President Roosevelt
cary this week. DR.. Steelman came
here April 25, first as negotiator
fo1 Secretary of Labor Perkins. and
since Wednesday as representative
of the President.
Apparently no progress or little
progress had been made until DR..
Steelman on Wednesday urged that
operators willing to accede to Mr..
Lewis demands sign contracts sep
arately.
This broke the deadlock which had
existed for nine weeks over Mr.
Lewis insiStence on the union shop
or elimination of the penalty clause
providing fines for illegal strikes
and the lockout.
DR.. Steelman said the new con-
tract would include two sentences
similar to those on which Mr.. Lewis
insisted in bargaining with operators
in the outlying areas. These clauses
provide for recognition of the U. M,
w. A. as exclusive bargaining agent
and for the union shop.
Other Mines Due to Sign.
AS the 5000 miners went back to
work in Western Kentucky, signaliz-
ing Mr.. Lewis first victory in his
fight for the union shop, it was ex-
pected others in the outlying areas
would follow suit within day or So
Illinois and other mining districts
in the outlying regions, which en-
ploy 10000 miners and produce 80
per cent of the Nations soft coal,
sought a similar arrangement.
Prior to the session there was a
meeting of about so Southern Op-
orators. When they emerged to re-
sumo negotiations with Mr.. Lewis,
several said privately their lines
were holding firm against signing a
new contract on the union shop
| basis.
These men declared also they did
not foresee any attempt to renew
operations in their mines on all
open shop basis.
So far as DR.. John r. Steelman,
Federal conciliator who acted for
President Roosevelt in staving off
a national emergency. was concern
ed. the coal crisis ended last night
when he drew from negotiators as
surances that depleted stocks of
consumers soon will be replenished.
Unanimity Dubious.
1t was freely predicted that union
shop contracts for the Appalachian
area would be signed today. but
whether jointly or separately was
question clouded by uncertainty
over how many would 60 along.
A spokesman for the operators
said a large block of tonnage had
reached a satisfactory agreement
with the miners, but joined others
in asserting that there was definite
division among the representatives
of management, divided roughly be-
tween the strongly unionized North,
and the South.

mitted that the president would
like to dispense with formal attire
