MONDAY, DECEMBER 7
STQR[° ROBBERY
L. J. Schaul’s Front Show ]
Window Broken Sunday Night
and Jewelry Stolen. Follows
Prontaut Bobbery Sunday
Before.
A s-eco:: J jewelry robbery, following
In startling : iir.iiarity the robbery of
Prontaut's window on the night of
November 29th, occurred between
•„U:3l> and 11:30 Sunday night, Decem
ber 6th, when the front show window
of L. J. Schaul’s jewelry store on the
890 block of Broad Street was broker,
with a brickbat and a number of ar
ticles stolen. Every indication is
present to point to the same culprits
in the two robberies.
From Schaul’s window two gold
wrist watches were taken, together
with several jeweled La Vallieres,
valued altogether at between $350 and
SSOO. The complete inventory of the
goods which were in the window is
not yet made. The loss was, however,
adequately covered by insurance.
From the nature of the crime it is
evident to detectives that the guilty
person or persons are the same who
robbed Frontaut’s window the Sunday
night before. In each case the win
dow was broken with a brickbta
which was found inside the window.
In neither case was the brickbat
wrapped up or "muffled” as if the
deed had been done by professional or
expert robbers. Also the thieves seem
ed to depend on their hands to reach
for the contents of the window, for
only the articles near the glass were
touched.
The policeman on the beat was
carefully watched in each case. Sun
day night Policeman Smoak, starting
from Jackson Street at 10:30 o'clock
examined Schaul’s window as he pass
ed up-town a few minutes afterwards.
Continuing on his beat to Marbury
Street and back again, he found the
broken glass on his return trip at
11:25. Evidently the thieves had had
their eye on him, and done the deed
when he was furthest out of hearing.
He immediately communicated with
Lieutenant Britt at headquarters, who
awoke' Mr. L. J. Schaul, the proprietor.
So far no clue to the identity of the
guilty parties has been found. No
sound of breaking glass was heard by
anyone on the block, and nobody was
seen prowling or loitering about the
scene either in the afternoon or night.

Old Fifth Ward School Pupils.
Expecting a Large Crowd.
A very unique entertainment Is that
which will be given at the John Mll
ledge school this evening, to which the
pupils who attended the old Fifth
Ward school have been Invited. It Is
expected that there will be a hundred
or more men and women present, some
of whom went to school at the old
Fifth ward school as long as a gene
ration ago. It will be a "home com
ing night” and will be celebrated at
the John MUledge school because the
John MUledge school had its beginning

Fifth Ward school was sold after the
erection of the newer school and has
since been divided into tenement hous
es, and as such it is now occupied.
Sick Headache.
Sick headache is nearly always
caused by disorders of the stomach.
Correct them and the periodic attacks
of sick headache will disappear Mrs
John Bishop of Roseville, Ohio, writes:
“About a year ago I w’as troubled with
i indigestion and had sick headache that
lasted for two or three days at a time.
I doctored and tried a number of
remedies hut nothing helped me until
during one of those sick spells a friend
r-dvised ine to take Chamberlain’s Tab
let!’. This medicine relieved me in a
short time.” For salu by all dealers.
Whooping Cough

I SB ELKS
Large Number of People Pres
ent Sunday Afternoon for
Lodge of Sorrow at the Grand
Beautiful music and stirring ad
dresses featurecj the Eiks’ Lodge of
Sorrow—the annual memorial exer
cises to the departed members—held
Sunday afternoon at the Grand. The
theater was crowded as is always the
case every year.
Similar exercises were held by the
Elks in other cities yesterday, but
nowhere, it is thought, were the cere
mories more impressive than those of
the Augusta lodge.
Eulogy by Mr. Watkins.
The tributes to the dead were paid
by the esteemed leading Knight, Mr. Jos.
S. Watkins, for the entire lodge, and
was a surpreme effort on the part of the
speaker. A touching and sad incident
at the conclusion of the address was
the announcement by Mr. Watkins to
his brother Elks and to the audience
of the death of Mr. Howard H. MuT
phey, a very popular Elk of Augusta,
which occurred yesterday afternoon at
2 o’clock.
The services were opened hy the
beautiful rendition by Andonegui's or
chestra of “Orpheus.” The lodge was
opened by Exalted Ruler W. G. Jes
ter, who made a brief and appropriate
address.
The Roll Call.
The roll of the departed members of
the Augusta Lodge—now fifty-two in
number—was read slowly and distinct
ly by the secretary, J. S. Farr, and as
each name was sounded a light on a
cross containing fifty-two incandes
cents was turned out. This is usually
the' most impressive part of the cere
monies.
After the opening ode a prayer was
led by Rev. Howard T. Cree, of the
First Christian church, and this was
followed by "The Lord’s Prayer,” sung
by the choir of the St. John Methodist
church. Accompanied by Mr. Atiee
Young, piano, Mr. Chas. Craig sang
"My Hope is in the Everlasting.” "The
Radiant Morn has Passed Away”, was
sung very sweetly by Messrs. John
Rox, Jno. A. Chapman, Leo Cotter
and Jas. B. Mulherin, accompanied by
Mr. Rob Irvin on the piano.
After the address of Mr. Watkins, a
chorus, accompanied by Mr. Irvin, sang
“The Lord God Almighty” and this was
probably the finest number of the mu
sical program.
The Chorus.
The chorus consisted of the follow
ing:
Sopranos—Mrs. Bryson, Mrs. N.
Bowden, Mrs. Joseph Ussery, Mrs. Per
kins; altos —Miss Ballard, Miss Wil
son, Mrs. Oertel, Miss Bresnahan; ten
ors—Mr. Craig, Mr. Manning, Mr. Rox,
Mr. Ballentine; basso—Mr. Mulherin,
Mr. Ewing, Mr. Walton, Mr. Zeiger.
A recitation, “Thanatopsis,” was de
livered by Mr. E. E. Woods.
The sweet soprano voice of Mrs.
Edward Bryson was heard insolo; ac
companied by Miss Mildren Marston,
she sang “The Peace of God.”
The eulogy, "Our Order,’ was deliv
ered by Mr. I. S. Peebles, Jr., in
which he told the meaning of the four
cardinal principles of the order—
charity, justice, bfotherly love and
fidelity.
“Who Knows?”
“Who Knows?” was sung very beau
tifully by Mr. Jas. B. Mulherin, and
was followed by a violin solo, At
Dawning," by Senor Andonegui. “List
to the Cherubic Hosts," was sung by
a quartet composed of Mrs. Bryson,
Mrs Bowden Mrs. Oertel and Miss
Anna Elise Wilson, with a baritone
obligato by Mr. E. H. Walton.
Following “The Death of a Hero,”
rendered by Andonegui’s orchestra, the
benediction was pronounced by Rev,
Fr. Walsh. The meeting was closed
by the singing of the doxology by the
audience standing.

Sad Death on Sunday
Mr. Howard Murphy
Gentleman Held in Highest
Esteem by All Who Knew
Him Passed Away After Lin
gering Illness. Funeral on
Monday P. M.
- ..... - -
Countless friends throughout Au
gusta will be shocked and grieved to
learn of the death of Mr. Howard H.
Murphy, which occurred at 2 o’clock
yesterday afternoon at his home on
Woodlawn Avenue. Mr. Murphy had
been ill for the past six weeks or more
and despite the fact that his friends
realized almost from the first that his
case was practically a hopeless one,
the shock of his death is none the
less.
Mr. Murphy was one of the best
known men in Augusta, a man who
all his life had been identified with
hotels here until he accepted, a few
years ago, the position of superinten
dent of the Commercial Club, a posi
tion which he has filled to the perfect
satisfaction of every member of the
club. Mr. Murphy was a man of quiet,
modest demeanor, devoted to his home
and its interests and yet with time
for his friends, always time to do them
a kindness, a man who did not wait
for Uie big things of life to occur be
fore he did his duty, but who did the
many little things, the many little acts
of thoughtful kindness that made him
loved by all who knew him, a man who
was as courteous to the humblest man
under him as he .was to the wealthiest,
and whose every deed, whose every
action was marked by that innate
courtesy and gentleness that was so
characteristic of the man, a quiet, un
ostentatious gentleman whose pass
ing will be regretted by all who knew
him even slightly.
Mr. Murphy Is survived by his wife
and two children, Miss Laura Murphy
and Master Paul Evans Murphy; his
mother, Mrs. Edward Murphy and one
sister, Mrs. James Wler, of New York,
and one brother, Mr. Raymond Mur
phy, of this city.
The funeral services were held at
3:30 this afternoon at St. Patrick's
Church and were officiated by Rev.
Father Lonergan. Many friends were
in attendance and the flower laden
casket was tenderly borne by Messrs.
T. S. Raworth, Alfred Davis, D. F.
Miller, D. M. Potter, R. W.‘ Spofford
and Julian M. Smith. The interment
was made in the City Cemetery and
his last resting place covered with
the many and beautiful flowers sent
by sorrowing friends.
When Shopping Buy
Xmas Seals, As Well
On Sale With Any of the Lead
ing Merchants on Broad St.
A Gigantic Movement.
Few people have any conception of
the magnitude of the Red Cross
Christmas Seal Campaign. Here are
a few figures that will show what a
gigantic movement this is. Already
115,000,000 seals have been printed and
practically that entire number dis
tributed to agents in almost every
state of the Union. Probably 15,000,-
000 more will be needed. Advertising
circulars, posters, cards, etc., to the
number of several million have also
been distributed. It Is estimated that
the army of paid and volunteer work
ers engaged in selling the seals num
ber well over 100,000. The advertising
and publicity donated to the cam
paign amount to several hundred
thousand dollars. Every effort Is be
ing put forth to sell 100,000,000 seals,
or abo it one for every man, woman
and child in the United States.
Be sure and buy Christmas Seals
from any of the leading merchants on
Broad Street, and get enough to put
at least one on every Christmas post
card, letter or package you send off
this Yuletide.
Help the campaign In Augusta!

Friends of Fireworks
Are Having Their Say
Claim That the Small Boy and
the Grown Up Should Be
Allowed to Have Fun at
Christmas.
When council meets tonight and con
siders the question of shooting fire
works during the coming Christmas,
from midnight Christmas eve until mld
nigh( Christmas night, there will prob
ably he an interesting discussion. The
small boy, and the grown up as well,
who wants to shoot fireworks feels that
lio should riot be denied the privilege
mid believes that there will be little dan
ger of fires In consequence of the
suspension of the ordinance.
The opponents of the measure will, of
course, argue the danger of fires and
the danger of life and limb from the
high explosives that are discharged al
though few accidents, if any, have’ oc
curred in Augusta in recent years hy
the discharge of fireworks, say those
tvho wish to suspend the ordinance and
allow the fireworks.
THINK MORE OF
“GEM-Pl*’
!W THAN 1909
In the spring of 1909 there was a great
outbreak of what was derisively dubbed
German-phobia" In England and n'sny
prophets (now of more honor than then'j
ventured to predict that Englishmen
then living would see the hosts of tho
Kaiser on the fields of York or Kent.
Charles Russell, a British statesman
advocating stronger measures of de
fense against the peril from across the
North Sea, attempted to smash the snug
Ixindon Merchant's conviction that tho
Rrltlsh Isles are safe from invasion by
showing how easily they had been in
vaded in the past.
He showed that hostile forces have
landed on British soil no less than fifty
three times since William the Conqueror
came over from Normandy in 1066.
Their Rescue.
Some of these invasions soon fizzled;
resulted In the upset of a dynasty. It
is true that the two greatest danger's
threatening Britain since the Conquer
or’s time—the Spanish Armanda and the
proposed expedition across the Channel
of Napoleon Bonaparte—wero success
fully carried. But In general It was sel
dom found difficult to pick a secluded
harbor and throw several thousand men
ashore before defenders could arrive In
sufficient force to do more than put up
a more or less perfunctory resistance.
Hostile troops landed fourteen times In
the eighteenth century, thirteen times
In the seveteenth century, five times In
the sixteenth; eleven times In the fif
teenth; and six times In the fourteenth.
American—Four Times.
The nationalities Included were Dan
ish. Norman, French. Spanish. Dutch
and American. The last named may
be a bit surprising hut the dr.ring Paul
Jones carried his sword to the shore of
Britain four times In 1 (78-79 on one oc
casion destroying the residence of Bord
Selkirk. It is to be noted, however,
that many of these Invasions of Great
Britain weve aided by Brtllsh of a fac
tion opposed to the rulers or even had
British leaders fqj their foreign troops.
Since 1798 Great Britain has been free
from Invasion—l 26 years. It Is this
long period of peace which got the Brit
ish Into the confirmed belief that Wil
liam the Conqueror was the last to In
vade their land and would stay the last
Indefinitely.
PARIS THEATRES STAY
CLOSED FOR AWHILE
P«ris.—"As long as the enemy treads
French soil, it Is not seemly for I’arlH
to laugh." says Prefect of Police Lau
rent. In reply to the renewed appeals of
dramatic artists for the re-openlng of
theatres and music hails.
"No new permits shall be Issued and
no permits previously accorded shall
be renewed so long as the Germans
occupy any part of France,” he de
clares ; consequently a few moving pic
ture shows, one solitary music hall and
one orchestral concert constitute the
amusements of Paris.
The poor artists, who are known
rather for their generosity than for
their thrift, are reduced to the neces
sity of applying for the government
allowance to-the unemployed, and here
these free-hearted, easy livers, are
met with a humiliating rebuff.
"Your dress Is too elegant." or “you
ray too high a rental." or “your fur
niture Is too rich to Justify an appli
cation for government aid” are the re
plies they get In many cases
GEO. YOUNG NOT BROUGHT
