COSBY WOUNDED TRYING ‘
TO ELUDE ARREST
POLICE DECLARE NEGRO SUS-’
PECT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
. .NUMEROUS ROBBERIES l
ATLANTA, Aug. 15.—Abraham
Crosby, long sought by police as the
bandit responsible for hold-ups of
gasoline filling stations and grocery
stores, was captured Friday night
after being wounded in the wrist
by deteceives when he resisted ar
rest. '
This is the second time Crosby
has been wounded by detectives
since his escape nearly two years
ago from a five-year sentence he
received in Fulton county in con
nection with the theft of an auto
mobile, officers declare,
The first time the negro was shot
through the fleshy part of his left
#arm by Detective L. D. Cody, when
he jumped out of an automobile and
made good his escape. Officer Cody
with a squad of detectives l\:d trail
ed the negro. to tl}e automobile in
Pratt street. As the detectives sur
rounded the: car,“the negmo sprang
at Cody in an effort’to knock him
down. The officer fired four times
at the fleeing black, one of the bul-“
lets taking effect in the arm. '
Cody’s capture Friday was the re
sult of hard work on the part of
former Detective Chief A. Lamar
Poole, and Plainclothes Officers S. A.
Smith and W. D. McGee, who have
trailed him, they say, from various
grocery stores and filling stations he
has held up.
“His description tallies exactly
with that furnished by victims of
one of one of the negro motor-car
bandits—even the pistol we took
from the negro at the time of his
arrest resembles the one described
‘to us as used by the gunman of the
negro “stick-up” party, Officer Poole
stated.
The negro was surprised as he

DAVIS SUGGESTS PLANS |

READJUSTMENT OF FREIGHT
RATE STRUCTURE IS ONE OF
THEM.
LOCUST VALLEY, N. J., Aug,
17.—Readjustment of the freight
rate structure and the full use of
the machinery of the Department of
Agriculture in stimulating the co-op
erative marketing movement are re
garded by John W. Davis as two
essential steps in the relief of the
agricultural industry. ;
In outlining his views on this
question to his friends, the Demo
cratic, Presidential nominee has told
‘them that he regarded the wuse of
existing Government agencies ii
aiding the farmers to market their
own products as of more nractigal
value than might be setting up of
new agencies under legislation re
cently proposed, such as the McNary
Haugen bill.
As to freight rate reconstruction
he has expressed the view that aid
for the farmer in this direction
ought to be possible without im
pairment of the railroads. He be
lieves that the freight rate structure
should be flexible enough to meet
.changing economic conditions.
-Mr. Davis has told friends that
there should be greater cifort by
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion in bringing atcut ncreased ef
ficiency of the railroads. These
friends declare that his opinion is
that the commission has left much
to be desired in this directicn, These
views and others concerning farm
relief, su:n az a rcadjustment of
slept in his home leaping through a
_window as tae officers approached
the house. He scaled several high
fences, finally making his way to
North Boulevard. After a chase of
10 blocks he was surrounded and
captured.
the tariff and the increase of
foreign markets for farm products
through American co-operation in
bringing about improvement in the
economic condition in Europe will
one of his early speeches in the west
his friends say. .
Shaver Urges Western Tour
~ Clem L. Shaver, Mr. Davis’ cam
‘paign manager, telegraphed the
nominee today urging .that he visit
the Middle West early in September.
Mr. Shaver, who has been at the
Western headqugrters in Chicago,
sent a very optimistic report on the
outlook there and supplemented his
wire message by a telephone call. '
After his Labor Day address the
place for the delivery of which re
mains unsettled, Mr. Davis will
begin a long trek, which will carry
him well into the Western territo
ry. He will make only a “one night
stand” durirg his visit to Ohio, re-
L turning here after speaking at Co
lumbus.
At. Seagirt. N. J., next Friday,i
the nominee expects to make what
his friends describe as a “twenty
minute shot” at a mass meeting of
new Jersey Democrats. Before that
he will speak briefly to the State
Democratic executive committee at
a luncheon at the home of Gov.
George S. Silzer,
Mr. Davis spent today quitely at
his home here. He attended church
with Mrs. Davis in the morning and
had no callers except newspaper cor
respondents. 3
The nominee declined to comment
on the reparations agreement at
London other than to say that the
_provision for arbitration by the Lea
gue of Nations in case of any dis
pute as to the index figure of Ger
man wealth was but another evi
dence of the erywing indespensabil
ity if the Leagzue.
