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.

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.

Costly Sables Found on Cab Floor When Messengers Removed Covering From Eyes. Alfalfa, Red Clover, Millet and Girl Outwits Mother Who Locks New Mongolian Wheat Also Her in Room and Couple Brought From Siberia. ! Flees in Auto. 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.
