Electric Light Button Removed by
Careful Thief, but He
Gets No Loot.
t'alvin O. Barbrr. aftlrep in bis room
on th^ second floor of the house at
Xo. 105 West Harris street, vk.ib
awakened at a o'clock Saturday morn
1ng; by a sound not usually heard In
the still watches of the night, or even
early in the morn in*.
Barber heard the gentle clinking of
money, and, almost intuitively, he
recognized it as his money, in hit*
trousers’ pocket. The trousers seemed
to be shaken gently in the darkness
"Who’s there?” Barber inquired
briskly, not being afraid of table-tip
ping or pants-flapping spirits At the
same time he shook G. L. Hamrick,
also occupying the room and bed.
The only reply to Barber's chal
lenge was a more decided flop and
clink as the trousers hit the floor
Then came the soft pad-padding
of unshod feet, and the noise* of a
door creaking.
Electric Buttons Removed.
Barber and Hamrick, now wide
awake, jumped out of bed and fum
bled over each other as they sought
the electric light key
They found the socket all right, but
the button had been twisted off
Stumbling out Into the hall, they
found that switch also hors du com
bat. while down the steps went the
pit-a*pat of the shoeless feet.
Hamrick Anally found a button that
controlled a light, and about the same
Barber collected a shotgun, and
the two started after the burglar The
front door was open, but by the time
they reached the street, the intruder
had vanished and there was not even
the satisfaction of letting the shotgun
at anything
Nothing Missing.
rail Officer Gorman responded to a
telephone message, but no trace of
the robber could be found. Appar
ently he had attached his shoes to his
person, hs they wf*ro nowhere to he
seen. He had entered the house bx
limbing to the veranda roof, and
before beginning his search for booty
had thoughtfully and with much pa
tience removed all the electric aw Itch
buttons he could And.
Nothing appeared to have been
taken.

Refounding of School
To Remove “Stigma.”
Atlanta's campaign Just now to

attention of the entire country.
Those in other parts of the South

watching the outcome of the canvass
here with the keenest interest.

prove her timber to the world.

scribed $1,000 to the enterprise, and
he has full faith of ultimate and
complete success. Ho writes:
"To the movement for refounding
Oglethorpe University, there will be'
a prompt and a hearty response from
every patriotic citizen of Georgia.
"I am anxious for two reasons to
sec this institution revived. In the
first place, it will be a fitting me
morial to the great man who founded
tills State. The handsome monu
ments at Savannah and Brunswick
are superb tributes to Oglethorpe, but
they do not embody the altruistic
spirit in which the colony of •Geor
gia originated. This, through the me
dium of a great university, will be
given expression. In the second place,
for the loss of this college to the edu
cational world, there rests a stigma
upon the State of Georgia which
needs to be erased.

Federals, Reported Fleeing to U
S. Border, Believed on Way
to Recapture Juarez.
EL PASO, TEXAS, Dec. 6.—"The
Federals are coming!”
This cry was raised in Juarez to
day when word was received that
General Villa was returning to the
Mexican city at the head of troops
with which he set out to occupy Chi
huahua. Activity at the Constitu
tionalist headquarters gave rise to
the belief that a. battle was expected
and that the Federal troops who are
reported marching from Chihuahua
I to Ojinaga with a great band of refu
gees had deflected their course and
j were coming to recapture Juarez.
The rumors were received with
credence on this sidd of the Rio
Grande, as was evidenced by ac
tion taken by the. United States mili
tary authorities.
The headquarters of the Second
Cavalry Rrigade was moved here
from Fort Bliss to-day, so that Gen
eral T4cott, the brigade commander,
and Major Robert E. Michie, brigade
adjutant, can keep in closer touch
with affairs on the Border.
Troops w ere'shifted, and now prac
tically all the soldiers in this vicinity
are camped within the city limits of
El Paso, within easy distance of the
international bridge spanning the Rio
Grande In Juarez.
A battalion of the Twelfth Cavalry,
which has been stationed at the Ship
Rock Indian agency to quell any out
break among the Navajo Indians, has
been ordered to El Paso, and probably
will arrive to-morrow.

It wasn’t a long letter. Quite the

Question Goes Over
To January Session
Consideration of a bond issue for
schools by the Board of Education
has been postponed until the January
meeting. At a special meeting Fri

of the energies of the members at

large an appropriation as possible
when the Finance Committee of
Council makes up the new budget.
Two members of a special commit
tee of the Board of .Education—Colo
nel W. R. Daley and VV. H. Terrell—
urged a large bond issue for new

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON. Dec 6. -The suffragettes
began in earnest to-day to carry out
their threat of nation-wide incen
diarism in revenge for the arrest of
Emmeline Pankhurst.
Rusholmee Exhibition Hal!. in
South Manchester, was destroyed,
Aith a loss of $60,000. Near the
jeene of the fire was an abusive let
ter addressed to Premier Asquith.
At Liverpool "arsonettes" set fire to
the scenic railway in the Liverpool
Exposition Grounds, partly destroy
ing it. There also was a letter abus
ing the Premier left by the incen
diaries.
Militants tried to burn the grand
stand of the famous Aintree race
course near Liverpool, but were pre
vented by the police. Several women,
who fled at the approach of the police,
were detected setting fire to a portion
of the stand, which had been soaked
with oil. A large quantity of litera
ture reviling the Government was
found.
Large property owners, fearing the
widespread activity of the arson
squads, are hiring private watchmen
to protect their buildings. Members
of the Cabinet have been advised to
keep an especially strict watch about
their homes, and Premier Asquith
probably will be attended by a body
guard on account of the hostility
aroused by Mrs. Pankhurst’s arrest.

If your little one’s tongue is coated,
it is a sure sign the stomach, liver and

at once. When your child is cross,
peevish, listless, pale, doesn’t sleep, eat
or act naturally; if breath is bad, stom

of "California Syrup of Figs.” and in a

Sick children needn’t be coaxed to

improves the
skin and hair
R ESINOL SOAP is in every way
pure, delightful and cleansing
for the toilet and shampoo. In addi

skin and good hair.
