Grand Jury Fails, but
‘Drys’ Will Fight On
SAVANNAH, Nov. 2D.—The hopes of
the anti-saloon element that the Grand
Jury would take some decisive step to
ward stamping out the liquor evil were
dispelled when that body returned a
presentment, taking cognizance ° of the
fact that the law was being violated,
but staling that it was up to the offi
cers of the county and city to enforce
the law, and not the Grand Jury.
“The fight is not over by any man
ner of means, however,’’ said W. B.
Stubbs, the leader. “We intend to fight
until we have Savannah as clean as At
lanta.’’

BRAZIL*, IND., Nov. 29.—A quick
brain, dexterous fingers and reliable
ears enable John Phillips, the “tele
phone girl” of the Harmony switch
board, to retain his job in spite of the
.fact that he Is blind. Not a com
plaint is heard from any of the 40
subscribers of the company at and [
about Harmony.
Phillips is middle-aged. He has
been in charge of the exchange more
than a year and never makes a mis- i
take, lie has been blind for nearly I
25 years, being one of the victims of |
a powder explosion in a mine.
Penusylvauia Law
Bars Chorus Girls |
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.—The
baldheaded row in theaters through
out Pennsylvania will be deserted. In \
all theatrical companies only women of
21 years of age or more will appear
on the stage. This is the effect of |
a new law which regulates the hours I
during which women may work.
The wide-sweeping effect of the law
did not become known until to-day,
when several local theatrical man
agers learned to their dismay that
women under 21 years of age are
prohibited from working after 9
o’clock at night.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—The myi-
tery surrounding the disappearance
last November of Mrs. Charles A.
Moore’s $20,000 Russian sable coaf
and its recovery was penetrated yes
terday.
Mrs. Moore and her husband are
now on their way to Southern Franco.
Mrs. Moore has taken the coat with
her. They live at the Berkeley.
The story of the theft, as told to
The American by S. Tyler, manager
of the Berkeley, Is that of daring. :
The story of the recovery Is uncanny.
Mrs. Moore purchased the coat from
Balch, Price & Co., in Fulton street,
Brooklyn. A messenger was sent to j
Manhattan with the luxurious wrap
the following day. The boy reached
the Berkeley. A taxicab stood at the ,
curb. Two men intercepted the coat
bearer in the vestibule.
Impersonates Husband.
One said that he was Mr. Moore.
He would take the coat inside. He
signed the receipt. The boy left, and
the coat disappeared with the men
in the taxicab.
A reward of $2,000 was offered for j
its return. For nine months the po
lice of Manhattan and Brooklyn and
private detectives searched in vain.
One day a man who declared that
for $3,000 the coat would be returned,
presented himself to Mrs. Moore. He
declared that should the police be
called in he would close his mourn
and, if necessary, go to prison. Ho
added that the coat would be sent to
Amsterdam and there sold. Mrs.
Moore agreed to make it a private
matter.
That night, at an appointed placa,
two fur experts from Balch, Price
Co.’s were taken into a cab. They
were blindfolded and driven for about
two hours. They were taken into a
basement still blindfolded. A fur coat
was thrust Into their hands. They
agreed that it was the sable gar
ment for which they were looking.
Blackmail Paid.
They delivered the three $1,000 bills
and were taken back to the sidewalk
where a different cab awaited. Still
blindfolded and accompanied by one
of their escorts they were driven to i
Washington Square. There their es
cort jumped from the cab and the
experts snatched the bandages from
their eyes.
On the floor of the cab lay a bund'e.
They opened it, and found the long
lost Russian sable coat.
Harrington Wallis, head of the firm
of Balch, Price & Co., refused to do
more than admit that the coat was
returned. Mr. Tyler, however, ad
mitted the truth of the story.

BROOKINGS, S. DAK., Nov. 20 —
South Dakota has made another ad
vance toward the conquest pf 11 s
prairie uplands. Professor N. E.
Hansen, of the State College of Agri
culture and Mechanics Arts, has Just
returned from a fourth trip to the
wilds of Siberia, bringing with him
one and five-eighths tons of hardy
alfalfa seed, an amount in excess of
his own and his friends’ fondest hopes
when he set out on his expedition last
May.
The seed Is of the hardy, upright,
yellow-flowered Siberian alfalfa, Med-
icago falcata, which has already
proved Its worth in the western parts
of South Dakota, and even far up
into Canada, and it was to get addi
tional supplies of suchr seed that his
State sent him abroad.
The problem was to obtain more
seed. The people of the State were
eager to solve this. Consequently the
last Legislature passed two measures,
one providing $15,000 for further ex
perimentation with seeds and plants
under a nursery system adapted by
Professor Hansen to the varying con
ditions of South Dakota, and the other
providing °$ 10.000 to send Professor
Hansen to Siberia to gather such a
crop of seed as he could on the open
steppes in regions he had previously
explored with success. In both of
these bills Professor Hansen was
named as the man to conduct the j
work.
The w r ork tvas by no means easy.
The horses of the expedition were
wild and unruly, wild animals at times
gave a good deal of trouble, and the
problems of the commissary were not
without difficulties. The diet of the
party for the most part was limited
to mares’ milk, fat-tailed mutton,
broom corn and coarse wheat bread.
Alfalfa seed was by no means all
that Professor Hansen obtained, how
ever. A find of exceptional value, in
his estimation, is that of a hardy red
clover, from a region where the rain
fall is about eight inches and where
there is little snow for protection, and
the mercury frequently freezes. Of
this seed Professor Hansen brought
back 142 pounds. With this experi
ments will be made with a view' to
adding a new clover to the crops of
\ South Dakota.
A new wheat has also been added to
the list as a result of this trip of
Professor Hansen’s. It Is a Mongo
lian wheat and has a large kernel
And along with this comes a large,
white-seeded millet which gives gen
erous yields with only an eight-inch
rainfall. This is the “cornerstone” of
dry land agriculture in Siberia, and
is used as a food for both men and
beasts.
SAVANNAH. Nov. 29.—Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Pierce are to-day happy
in their new home at Dawson, Ga.,
following a sensational elopement, in
which the pretty young bride, Miss
Helen Creech, risked life and Uml)
to escape an irate parent and rejoin
her husband of an hour.
The couple were quietly married,
but as they walked front the parson
age the bride’s mother snatched the
blushing girl from the arm of her hus
band and whisked her away in an au
tomobile to their home. Here she was
locked in an upstairs room and the
mother announced that no law' except
force and arms could force her to
abandon her position in front of the
door.
While the youthful husband was
besieging law' offices in every build
ing in the city and finding that noth
ing could be done to aid him. his bride
was evolving a method of escape.
When It became dark, she managed
to raise the second-story window' ahd
slide dow'n a drain pipe. After an
hour’s search, she located Pierce, but
they were afraid to risk going to the
station, for the escape had been dis
covered. They managed to recruit
two friends with mortocycles and as
excess passengers they raced through
the country to cut off the train at a
station fifteen miles distant.
