It Is said : that there has been . bad feeling between Seagraves and Smith for several*months. The original - trouble grew out of a charge against Smith for tho theft of cigarettes from cars in - the S. A. L. yards several months Ago. At that time a warrant was sworn out, for Smith in the Fed eral court charging the theft of certain gooda from the company, , -mainly cigarettes, but at the pre liminary hearing before • Judge Cornett. Smith came clear but, when the FedeYal grand jury con- tho plant at midnight Friday night and was whisked away in the dark ness by men who occupied six au tomobiles on which license plates tither had been, covered or re moved. Countv officers questioned Teg- -etson Friday night a few hours before the reported kidnapping. It Is' believed here they expected to call the timkeepef as a »tate wit ness at the public hearing,to be held next Friday. T. ,T. Burnett, former deputy sheriff and an employe at the car bon plant at Spyker who is in jail here on a murder charge growing out of the kidnapping and killing of Watt Daniels and Thomas Rich ards last August, according to the authorities has denied he had any part in the kidnapping and killing and has declared he expected to prove an alibi by employes at the plant and records there DON’T KNOW WHERE MISSING MAN IS where celebratioi of their, raids was made at Shan ley’s restaurant at Broadwav and. 43rd: street Acting .Prohibition Di rector Yeliowly and his assistant John A.

The 1918 issue of Government War Savings Stamps are redeem able now by the Government ond after January first no additional interest will be paid on them but they may be either cashed or trans ferred to other Government securl ties. The Government prefers that transfers be made and the original money invested be left in securi ties. However, they are readily cashed and those holding them lo cally may either cash them at the post office or handle them through the banks, where they will be tak en as cash on deposits. Post master Smith is prepared to handle the cashing of- these se curities and beginning Tuesday he will handle them as fast as possible.
