the two stofflaws were going out "h11.
raising,". as they said.' The^ daredevils
made; no secret of the affair, being
confident. of their prowness.
, The city chief of police when inter,
yiewed yesterday said that when .the
report that the outlaws ' would be
abroad reached the office, every cop
trembled in his boots.
,"It is too well: known in 'the com
mUnity for me-to mention the fact," he
said,. "but these customers are of the
subtlest sort. -We have' found no way
to, stop them thus far but we are go
ing -to try something new today. We
intend to arrest 4hem."
'At ihree o'clock Main street was
lined with spectators who well knew
that it was the' tabit of the. two "hell.
raisers" to operate .in, the broad day
light, and, on the city's largat the.
roughfare. Row upon row, of faces
loOked out from the sidewalk ad-'tier

dows- of the sky scrapers. All wai si

the. appearance of the two. outlaws.
At l4A the two put in their appear

MILR SCORES BIG
"IT IN"THE CLAM"
IS LILLARD'SSHOW
CRITICS PRAISE PLAY HICHLY
New Star Sweeps Audience Off Teir
Fe"t With His Sp4eadid
4terpretatin
Last night there was added another
bright constellation to the galaxy of
stars gracing the stage along Broadway.
'Opening in a vehicle written by Lillard,
the newest premiere of American drama,
Ramon Be Miler made his triumphant
appearance. . In writing "THE CLAM"
little Joie Lillard has added hIs name to
the list of .nmortals, there to rank be
side Baron Purley of Podunk, the Count
Leaphart and other matchless playrights.
Since the days of Booth never ha's
another such consummate actor graced
the Boards as Be Miller as he stepped
from the wings last evening to save the
old homestead from the hammer of the
auctioneer. The audience at once res
ponded to the sympathetic treatment of
the patt of the son returning home to his
sorrowing parents. In the hands of a
less consummate actor, the character of
"Clem the Clam" might have been but
another role added to an already long
list, but in the hands of Miller, it carried
the careftl delineation of a modest coun
try lad who had made his way intha
great city and had returned with his heart
still pure to woo and win his childhood
sweetheart.
Another dramatician than Lillard pos
sibly might have written into the youth
ful part that blase condesension for the
country folk which pervade the modern
play. Here is retained the characteriza
tion of a boy who has kept his 'pure id
eals unsullied in the city beset with ag
nostics andl cynics. We must repeat that
Miller was tritimphadt in his interpreta'
tion.
''I"he Clam" typifies the high state of
perfection that .the American stage has
reached. Clem shows in a startling man
ner the metamorphosis of a struggling
and silent lad into a verbose S)ut likeable
individual. In both parts Miller carries
off the honors.
The press reviews made, give some
Idea of 'the reception given thue prpduc
tion.

is Found to Give Police aTr
Much-Conste nation
George Huggins, treasuren of
University of South Carolina, set K
entire police force of the state on"
trail of Frank Welhorne, - "f
assistant to the treasurer, Imme4iii
after opening his office this morning"
find the vaults rifled of the :eni
funds of the school. Suspicion
thrown upon Welborne when he tf
ed to show up for work at 9 a. tj.
After an investigation by Mr.i
gins and other University and Stak
officers -it was found that the ent"!
sum appropriated by the legislaturi ft '
one dollar and thirty-one cents j$11
was missing. Further study' 6f the.
books disclosed that they had beenia"
doctored by Welborne for the., pat.
seven months and an additional 7ine
of 68 cents had been embezzled.. Ti
brings the total loss of the Univer'8t
to $1.99 and is indeed a hard b1 wt ft
at one stroke the entire finaces of the
greatest university in the south were
taken away.
In an interview with Dr. W. D. Met
ton, president of the University, by a
"Yellow Sheet" reporter it is reported
that Welborne had threatened to
take the money of the University some
two weeks ago when for the third
month straight he 'was forced to go
without pay.
Dr Miton said "Welborne has at
ways been an upright and trusted em
ployee of the University and his threat,.
was little thought of. He was in the
office alone until a late hour last night
where he was working to balance the
books of the institution for March.
There had been a deficiency of one,
fourth cents in Mr. Huggins accounts.
He must have takei advantage of the
opportunity for this 'clean-up.' The
entire police force of the state is on
his trial and expect to soon bring him
to justice."
Mr. Welborne was a graduate of
the School of Commerce of 1924, while
a student of this school he took several,
courses in accounting under Profesde
George Olson and made -such an de "
cellent record that he was taken intf~
the Treasurer's office. It is stopposed Y
that while being exposed to his l
counting courses that he learsted moeA
readily how to juggle the books tlut~
to keep them strdight.
