tered Store at Blaney 'j
(Monday's State)
almost $1,000 *orth of ifeneral
merchandise, seven double barreled
AhotKUns, five pistols and si* cartons
,,f cigarettes bearing South Carolina
Uxisinoss license revenue stamps were
captured by officers of Alma, Ga.,
yesterday morning, and it is thought
by polio? circles of Columbia that the
xtock of goods are the properties of
merchants who have suffered various
robberies in the Palmetto state. Five
white men are now in the Alma pail
;ind are being held for investigation
in connection with the vast amount of
wares taken by the Georgia police. I
Chief F. S. Strickland of 'the city ,
police department received a message
last night from Alma authorities that
the merchandise had been taken into
custody and that it was. the opinion of
the Georgia police that some of the
goods belonged to South Carolina,
judging from the tax stamp- oiMhcj
cigarettes.
During the last few- weeks a num
ber of stores have been entered and
pilfered in the vicinity of Columbia.
The city and rural forces have been
checking and rechecking in an en
deavor to capture some of the thieves.
According to information received
by a reporter for The State in a con
versatioh with authorities in Alma, j
none of the white men except one will
rtvoal his identity. One says thai
his name is Rowl and that his home
is at Schenectady, N. Y, The others
have nothing to say.
Judging from the brogue of the
five white men,, declares the Alma
authorities, all are natives ^of the
North. The men were arrested yes
terday morning when a neighbor on
the outskirts of Alma complained to
the sheriff of the county that' some
huntsmen were disturbing the peace
of the Sabbath. The sheriff arrested
the quintet while they were shooting
birds, and later examined the two j
automobiles ik which they were trav- j
eling. It was then that,., he located!
the merchandise and the remainder of
the weapons which tlVe huntsmen were
not using. One of the cars was a
Maxwell sedan and the other a Ford.
According to the men's fetorjr to J
Alma officers, they purchased the j
merchandise from a negro . Saturday ,
night. Coming to the Geotgiav city
yesterday morning, they declared,
they decided to indulge in a little j
hunt before continuing on their jour- ;
oey southward. I
Upon receiving the message of thgJ
Alma officers' capture, Chief Strick- ,
land, Sheriff T. Alex Heise, Chief J.,
I). Dunaway of the rural police forces,^
Detectives W. Rawlinson, S. b. .
Shorter, M. C. Allen. and Robert r.
Broom? all of them held a conference
and recalled various robberies that
nave been committed in the Capita
City and Richland county in recent
times. ~ '
The officers are hoping that the
Alma "catch" will be responsible in
placing some of the goods that ave
been stolen, and they are in^ direct
touch with the Georgia authorities in(
the matter of identifying the mer
handise. / I
The merchandise includes shoes,
hats, underwear and various other ar
ticles. The pistols are of several
makes, and all of the shotguns ?re
double barreled.'

Hope Abandoned.
Key West, Fla., Dec. 7.? ^Practically
all hope has been abandoned for the
finding of the steamer Cotopaxi after
an exhaustive search by coast guard
vessels from Norfolk to Cuba, which
left^fcharleston on Sunday, November
bound fOFTTavana, with -a cargo -of
coal, and which has not been heard
from since last Tuesday, when S. O. S.
signals were received from the vessel,
it was revealed here tonight.
It is believed that the steamer fell
a victim to the tropical storm which
swept up the Atlantic coafet, although
there is the possibility that members
of he^crew, numbering 30 men, were
picked up by a passing vessel. The
hope that the crew Was saved is only
slight, however,^ since the elapse of
Ttonsiderable time has failed to bring
word from any of them.

TRODS A GOLDEN PATH
I ; ' '
Famous Pout ball IMiyer's ProfitH
Near Half Million Mark
Nnv York, Dec. 7.<? | "Red" Grange
tn>d a golden path in his spectacular
wet k- end to New York.
The former hero of college grid
irons, now starving as a professional
with the Chfcago Bears, left the city
?this afternoon for Washington to ful-,
fill a pluying engagement there' to
?morrow, after realizing close to $400,
000 here vrlthin the short . space of
twenty-four, hours on his fame and
name.
The climax c>f Grange's, financial
operations, now as seusational as any
of his performances on the football
field, was the signing of a motion pic
ture contract today under whiNa he
was handed a check for $300, 000,
representing u flat guarantee for his
first appearance on the screen.
In addition, Grange was paid $36,
001) for participating in the 19 to 7
victory scored by his Bears over the
New York Giants yesterday at the
Polo Grounds before a record crowd
| of 75,000 and received $40,000 more
' from Metropolitan business concerns
I obtaining his endorsment for sweat
i ers, dolls, caps, shoes, tobacco and
? souvenirs.
Grange gained about 156 yards
i during his short afternoon's ' work
against the Giants so that his share
t of the gate receipts reprsented $240
for each yard he advanced. The
i amount he received for his game here
was Nearly double that for any.<prev
ious engagement and brought his
total ^estimated revenu from actual
playing to about $90,000.
All told, Grange has accumulated
close to $500,000 since he left the
University of Illinois two weeks ago,
immediately following his last col
lege game against Ohio State, and''
joined professional ranks. (
The remarkable earning power at
tached' to his name and prowess has
| had no equal in professional athletiq
ranks. Not even Babe Roth, in his
palmiest days as the idol of baseball
fans, commanded the financial return
of Grange. Ruth's annual salary with
the Yankees for several years has
ben $52,000 while other interests are
not believed to have increased this
beyond $100,000 for any single sea>
son.
I Grange's movie contract was ne
gotiated by his manager, C. C. Pyle,
with W. E. Shallenberg, president of
the Arrow Pictures Corporation of
New York. Red will start work on
his first picture about March 1, 1926,
after completing a transcontinental
tour with the Bears. -
Following the game in -Washington
tomorrow, Grange and his team mates
journy to Boston for a battle with the
Providence Steam Rollers Wednesday.
TWenty-five 'games altogether remain
on the Bears' schedule, the itinerary
taking them to Florida and thence
across the .. country to the Pacific
coast, where the tour will wind up
about the middle of February.

COLUMBIA STATE CHAMPION.

By 24 to 0.
Columbia, Dec. 5. ? Columbia High
School, lower State champions^tswolit
their way over Gaffney High to the
State title here today by the decisive
score of 24 to 0.
The score, however, fails to show
tho fighting power of the upstate
champions. It was a game full of
fumbles and queer breaks, most of
whieH fell to Columbia. And how
much effect that had on the score is
shown by the fact that of Columbia's
total of twenty-four points* six were
ron intercepted passes *ind twelve
were the direct result of fumbles.
"Stick" McCarley, Columbia fullbaO|k,
accounted for the remaining six,
three of which were points after
touchdowns and three scored by a field
goal.
~ The vesuits of the game are many.
Besides giving Columbia a clear title
to the state championship, it entities'
the Capitals to meet Richmond Acad
emy of Augusta, Ga. for the Georgia
, South Carolina title; it marks the
'second consecutive ?ime Columbia has
won the state title from Gaffney; it
was the occasion of "Stick" . McCar

of Gaffney to the front as the out
