PROVE TOO QUICK
FOR TWO® PECTS
Detectives Land Men That
Are Charged With
Blowing Safes.
Suspected of being professional safe
crackers and accused of dynamiting
the safe in the Bank of Sharon, at
Sharon, Ga, early Thursday morning,
two neatly dressed young white men,
giving their names as J. P. Eaker, 'a
Southern railway conductor, and
George Baston, a saw mill man. were
brought to Atlanta Friday night by
Sheriff W. Y. Edwards, of Taliaferro
county, and locked lit the police sta
tion.
Saturday,' Detective Sergeant Ban-
ford, Detectives Wood and Starnes, and
Plain Clothes Officer Dorsett are ac
tively at work on the case, It being
suspected that the two prisoners are
the cracksmen who dynamited the safe
In the store of D. H. Pope, at Hape-
ville, a week ago, and also robbed the
postofflce at Dallas and cracked the
safe last Tuesday night. The safe In
tho Bank of Sharon was blown Thurs
day morning shortly after midnight.
Detectives and Sheriff Edwards be.
lleve these two men are members of
an organized gang of safe blowers,
Arrested in Auguete. -
Tho two men were arrested Thurs
day morning In Augusta, as the Geor
gla railroad train’ from Atlanta was
pulling Into that city. At that time Ea.
ker said he was a conductor for the
Southern railway, and In his pockets
were found several cards and papers.
Issued by the Order of Railway Con
ductors and bearing the name of Eaker.
Detectives believe that .both prisoners
have given fictitious names and that
the articles beating the name found on
the prisoner were stolen from some
conductor.
The alleged cracksmen, are reticent,
nnd will give out no Information con
cerning themselves, further than that
they hall from Alabama. They pro
fess they are not acquainted, nevor
seeing each other before until Thursday
night In CrawfordvIHe. They also re-
fuse to {ell the officers tho exact loca
tion of their homes In Alabama. Bits-
ton’s left arm Is off at the elbow,
states he lost his arm in a saw mill
accident. -- .
The prisoners were closely question
"d Saturday by detective!*, but refused
to nnatver material queries.
The arrest of the two suspects was
brought about by a prompt and shrewd
bit of work on the part of. W. L. Ken
drick, cashier of tho Bank of Sharon,
On being notified of the blowing of the
bank safe, Mr. Kendrick hurried to the
bank and at once set In operation u
telegraph Instrument In the bank of
fice. Thinking that the cracksmen
might board the Georgia train for Au
gusta, which was due- In Crawfordvillt
shortly after the safe was dynamited,
the cashier got In on the railroad wire
and telegraphed to Barnett, a short dis
tance away. The operator there de
livered the message to Conductor "Bil
lie” Thompson, who remembered that
two suspicious men had hoarded his
train at CrawfordvIHe. Sharon Is on
a branch road, and It was supposed the
yegginen would walk from Sharon to
CrawfordvIHe, and board Conductor
Thompson's train. The conductor then
telegraphed to the police In Augusta
to meet the train, and kept his eye on
the two suspects.
When the train pulled Into Augusta
officers placed under arrest the two
men. who gave their names as Eaker
and Baston.
Threw Away Explosives.
White going through the depot Eaker
was seen to throw something out of
his pocket. The articles which he
was so anxious to get rid of were four,
teen dynamite caps and two fuses,
capped with dynamite. Another capped
fuse, supposed to have been accidental
ly lost and which was found In front of
the main entrance to the Bank of Sha
ron, corresponds exactly with the fuses
dropped by Eaker.
Another bit of evidence against the
suspects was developed Thursday
morning at the home of a man named
Stone, who lives across the street from
the bank In Sharon. A number of tracks
were found under the window of his
bed room, Indicating that the cracks
men had been' watching him, as he
was the nearest resident to the bank.
Sheriff Edwards took a shoe from each
of the prisoners and tried them In the
tracks. The shoes fit the tracks exact-

Eaker admits he was In Atlanta last
Wednesday.
In the pockets of one of the alleged
cracksmen, who gIVes his name, as J. P.
Eaker, was found, four receipts for dues
from Palmetto division. Order of Rail
way Conductors, two of them bearing
the name of “J. P. Euker” and two the
name of ”J. T. Eaker.” The receipts
bear the address "Shelby. N. C.,” and
are signed by H. L. Pinckney, secre
tary. On Eaker was also found the
photograph of a pretty young woman,
taken In a mirror; a Southern railway
>ass from Shelby. N. C„ to some point

At the request of detectives, several
conductors tested Eaker at the police
station Saturday on the secrets of the

was unable to give the signs or Te-

ADMIRAL BOB EVANS
Rear Admiral Clover
Command Several New
Fighters.
Fortress Monroe, Vn„ Dec. 14.—With
a thick 40-knot gale kicking the sea
Into white caps, the scene In the har
bor today Is lively and picturesque.
The huge fleet of battle ships Ih seen
but dlihly through the mist, but their
launches are flying hither and (hither,
conveying boxes, bundles, wives, chil
dren and sweethearts to and from the
ships.
The Hotel Chamberlin Is the scene of
tender partings, each dark cosy cor;
her holding Its couple. Everywhere
there are epaulettes and gold braid.
Admiral Evans said this morning;
”1 shall have a few words to say
to the people before the fleet's depar
ture. I can not very well talk at this
time.
Everything Resdy, .
When asked If everything was ar
ranged to his Satisfaction, Admiral
Evans said:
I am perfectly satlsfled with' the
fleet and with the reception accorded
us. I do not anticipate any trouble In
passing through the Straits of Magel
lan. The danger Is generally overesti
mated.”
The ball In honor of Admiral Evans
last night gave the young officers a
spell of exercise they were not accus
tomed to and" they did not get out of
their beds until a late hour today.
Those who were relegated to early
duty on the battle ships were a grumpy
looking lot. As a general thing the
sailors are very much dissatisfied with
the trip.
Dog’s Life, Savs Jackie,
"It will be a dog's life fqr us from
now on," said one of the Jackies on
board the Kentucky. "It will be awnb
and drill and work every Hay until we
land In San Francisco harbor. A lot
of us would desert 19 a minute If we
could."
While it Is true that all Japanese
servants have been weeded from the
navy, the weeding procesa Is not a
recent thing. All the Orientals had to
be dispensed with In both the army
and navy for six months past, and there
Is not an officer In either branch of
the service who Is not glad of It.
Tomorrow will be final goodby day
for officers and men as they will have
no opportunity to come ashore on Mon
day morning.
To Form New Fleet.
As soon ns the fleet Is fairly under
way Uncle Sam will begin the organi
zation of another fleet for the Atlantic
seaboard. This will Include the Mis
stsstppl, Idaho, New Hampshire and
the Indiana, all battleshlpe. Rear Ad
mlral Clover Is slated for the com
mand. The second division will In
clude the Minneapolis, William
Smith, In command, who will be pro
moted to rear admiral January 3; the
Columbia, Des Moines and the Tacoma.
In the spring a special division will
be formed by the three scout cruisers—
Chester. Blrmnlghom and Salem—and
by June or July the two monster ar
mored cruisers. North Carolina and
Montana, now being completed at the
Newport News Shipbuilding and. Dry
DtxJt Company’s yard will form an
other special division.
Other ships to he .added from time
to time are the Iowa, Brooklyn, New
York, Minneapolis, Tacoma, Columbia,
Marietta, Paducah and Dubuqus.
San Francisco, Dec. 14.—Pat Calhoun
will not be brought to trial until Feb

KEEP SPORTS PURE
OR ABOLISH THEM,
Card System Amended at
Meeting of S. I. A. A.
at Clems on..
Special to The Georgian.
Clemson College, S. C., Dee, 14.-v
At the meeting of the Southern Inter
collegiate Athletic Association this
afternoon, the card system, of which
Dr. Dudley disclaimed authorship, was
thoroughly discussed. Dr. Matheson
explained how Ignorant the public is of
the exact working of tho system pro
posed at Tech, and stated that while
determined to throw nothing in the way
for a poor young man working his way
through college, he would.do all In his
power to keep professionalism out of
Tech; that he would, if necessary to
accomplish that end. go to the legis
lature and ask the abolishing of inter
collegiate athletics at Tech. He ex
onerated Daniel Bros, from any blame
In connection with the card system.
Byres Ayres claimed that the
cruJt of the matter is in the making of
arrangements by coaches, not to help
poor boys, but to induce students to
the college to help teams. , Section 2,
article 9, was amended so as to make
It necessary for the student who en
gages In buying and selling goods to
actually take the orders or deliver
the goods. The one-year rule will be
ussed after luncheon.
