THIEF ROBS THIEF.
Robb Was Robbed of tlie Stuff He
Stole.
Frederick C. Robb, an express messenger,
according to a New York correspondent,
went to the trouble of
robbing ther American Railway Ex
press of $5r,000 cash and a $435
\yatch, and some other things several
months ago on a New York-Philadelphia
train. He rented an apartment
in West Sixty-four street and
went there to live.
On January 29 a man rang the
bell. The man displayed a shiny
badge.
'"I'm a member of the 'narcotic
squad,' ?' he said. "I've got orders
to search the apartment for forbidden
drugs."
Searching, he found most of the
$5,000 and the watch and the other
trifles, forgot all about being a member
of-the "narcotic squad" and forgot
to leave the money and . jewelry
when he left.
Soon afterward Robb was arrested
and charged with the express robbery.
He pleaded guilty in Philadelphia, but
said a crooked crook had stolen the
loot from him. The police thought it
might be Don P. Collins, more authentically
known Arthur Tourn-j
billon. The police brought Robb to
New York and let him browse through
the Rogues Gallery. Pretty soon hp J
pointed to a picture.
"That's the 'narcotic squad' fellow
' who stole the stuff from me!" he ex-J
claimed. j
It was Collins. The police wentj
right out and arrested him. They said
he was a very unprincipled crook,'
for he preyed on hard working ethical ,
members of his own profeesion who
never did him any harm.

DARING BANDIT IN GUN BATTLE
St. Louis, April 5.?One policeman j
was killed and three others were
wounded late today by a bandit whoj
attempted to holp up the Easton-,
Taylor Trust Company. |
The bandit, identified by policemen,
as Charles "Red'* Smith, was killed
in the gun battle which followed the
attempted robbery.
Thfe robber had obtained between
$20,000 and $25,000, which he was
compelled to drop when a policeman
entered the bank and began shooting
at him. He fled through a side door
to a moving picture theater building
and for thirty minutes held the police
L at bay. The money was restored to
^Mthe bank.
The policeman killed was Terence
^^ cFarland He was shot through the
art. The wounded policemen are
j^Bergeant William Henry, shot in
^ ead; Sergeant Michael Flayiii, shot
^Rn right side; Patrolman Claude
W Adams, shot in arm.
f Smith entered the bank with a
revolver in each hand. He confronted
Jno. R. Lanigan, president of the bank
who was sitting at his desk talking to
Miss Isabelle Parker, a customer. I
Stick 'Em Up, He Says.
"Stick 'em up,' the robber ordered
r' l.anigan indicated he thought the |
robber was joking. He began to laugh.
Smith fired at Lanigan's head. The
bullet went wild and passed through
his hair. The bandit then walked to
the cashier's cage. As he did so. Miss
Parker rapped on tne outsiae or me
window.
"Shell out the dough", he ordered
a clerk behind the counter. The clerk
hesitated and other employes were
afraid to move L. F. Schneider, secretary,
went cautiously to the window
and handed over the money on the
counter. '
Smith started to ut the money in
a canvass bag when Patrolman Com-1
ar entered the. bank with drawn re-'
volver. He fired at Smith, who dodged
out a side door and into the moving
picture theatre. He dropped the
the sack. Comar pursued, but was
not able to enter the place because
of a barrage laid down by Smith with
his revolver.
Takes Refuge in Theater.
Other policemen arrived. They had
been told of the atempted robbery
by a boy. Smith had taken refuge
under the stage of the theater, which
was empty.
One ofter another the policemen
tried to enter. The bandit, however,
kept close watch and fired each time
a policeman appeared.
The policemen finally stormed the
door armed with riot guns. They fired
a volley. Smith was wounded and
dragged to the sidewalk. He died on
the way to St. John's Hospital.
o
SPINNERS FACE FAMINE.
Supply of Cotton Short of Requirements.
Tho nnRsasr^ of congress by an un
animous'vote of a resolution instructing
the census department to immediately
make an investigation of cotton
at all ports, concentration points
and at mills, and issue a statement
showing the amount of white cotton,
amount of low grades after correcting
all errors and deducting for hollies,
snaps, linters, regins, hull fibre
and all other unspinnable cotton, has
brought intense uneasiness in the
fleeced the producers and who now
realize that a price must be paid for
- * nnnnlu"
cotton oasea upuu tn. tuai
said J. S. Wannamaker, president of
the American Cotton association, in
statement issued last Monday.
He declared that the investigation
will reveal the fact that the manuturers
are facing a famine in spinnable
cotton.
"The American Cotton association"
said Mr. Wannamaker, "has for the
past several months been conducting
through experts a careful investigation
to ascertain the correct amount
of white cotton, low grades, bollies,
snaps, regins, lintei s and hull fibre
which are being carried in the so-called
surplus at ports, concentration
points, and at mills.
"As a result of information secured,
congress has passed a. resolution
at our request instructing the census
department to immediately make an
investigation of cotton at all ports,
concentration points anil at mills,
and issue a statement showing the
amount of white cotton and of low
grades after correcting all errors and
deducting for the hollies, snaps, 1 inters
regins, hull fibre and all other un
spinnable cotton.
"The result of this investigation will
bring startingly before the manufacturer
the fact that he is facing a
famine in spinnable cotton and that
the amount of white cotton is extremely
limited and that there will
not be sufficient low grades to supply
jthe pressing demands of the world
until the 1 f?21 crop reaches the market.
i "Based upon supply and demand
and the price for which the manufactured
product is selling, thc mills
coulfl pay today conservatively 75
'cents per pound, basis middling, for
raw cotton.
"This investigation points clearly to
the fact that at 50 cents per pound,
basis middling( cotto,, is the cheapest
commodity in the world today. It
stresses the fact that the producer
should hold his coHou as this investigation
will break the strangle hold of j
the gambler and manipulator and will
result in destroying the combine
which has been in operation for the
purpose of depressing prices will
force active competition from the
cotton consuming world in a desperate
effort to secure cotton before the
supply has been exhausted It will
* * Al- - l lnrnro cr^. f h PV
aesiroy ui? yuwcuui *.ee ..?,
have used as a result of this combinatlori
which has placed up before
the producer an Imaginary surplus
composed of cotton they cannot use
for the purpose of filling their pressing
demands.
"The passage of this legislation
has brought intense uneasiness into
the camp of this combination of manipulators
who have fleeced the producers
and who now realize that a
price must be paid for cotton based
upon actual supply, legitimate deJmand
and the price for which the
| manufactured product is selling. This
i legislation is in the interest of every
[legitimate line in the cotton industry
an<i the American Cotton association
is receiving congratulations from evjery
source. It is realized that this
: piece of legislation will deprive the
manipulators of the power of depressing
the market and absolutely disregarding
the great law of supply and
demand."

NEW STOCK LAW BOOSTS
HORRY LIVESTOCK WORK.
Clemson College, April 7?A good
illustration of the beneficial effect,
of the new stock law bill passed by
the recent Legislature is to be found
in a recent report from County Agent
W. O. Davis of Horry County. Mr.j
Davis reports that since the stock law
was passed he has had a great many
questions about livestock and pastures
and has distributed a number of
bulletins on these subjects. He is
working now with five pasture demonstrations
in the county, this number
to bg greatly increased during the
year. Such demonstrations will make
clear to farmers what can be done
with pastures in that country. He is,
also inducing and aiding as many farmers
as possible to start new pastures
this year so as to have them in good
jshapie for next year when. the new
'stock law becomes effective.
