Famed Violinist Plays
Role of Old Man
! . ,,osl?"' NuV- W?The other n.tfhl '
Jaques Gordon, noted Chicago violiniat,
played his 300-year-old Stradi-1
varius violin valued at $40,000 to a !
[bejewelled audience which packed a
local concert hall.
Yesterday, disguised aa un old man,
?ordon took his same violin and
P ayed on the street corners of Bos- i
ton. His fir8t ^nd near one of I
Boston's fashionable churchev
j Brought him a few pennies, but <|or- ;
don said., later that many of those '
who had paid top prices to hear him '
indoors passed him without notice.
"He may be hungry, and besides. |
it's Thanksgiving," one woman said
as she sent her little daughter over1
to the curbing with a quarter.
Fluying the same selections that!
his indoor uudiences heard, he finally !
landed in Scollay Square where one- 1
armed lunchrooms take the .places of !
fashionable churches and much of
the feminine jewelry would not in- '
terest an appraiser.
h irst a few bootblacks sidled up.
1 hen came some former actors who
were in quiet search of a .free Thanksgiving
dinner, somewhere. And finally
came some old men who couldn
t drop in any pennies for the simple
reason they had none.
All of them seemed to know music
when they heard it and appreciated
it, Gordon said later.
"Sorry I can't help out but you
sure know your music,", one ventured.
And another vouchsafed the
opinion that "You ought to give
lessons."
Then a few snowflakes began to
fall and the concert was over.
Back in his hotel Gordon counted
out $1.27 as Boston's contribution to
his day's work. He turned it over
to a charitable society.
Chicken Thieves Kill
Spartanburg Officer
Spartanburg, Dec. 1.?-City and
county officers were searching for
! clues today in the murder of Ralph
Kitchens, 26-year-old special sheriff's
deputy and the serious wounding of
his father, W. C. Kitchens, 56, special
officer for the P. and N. Railroad
by negro chicken thieves yesj
terday.
The younger Kitchens was killed
and his father wounded as the two
grappled with one of three negroes
they were attempting to arrest after
i they came upon them in the early
morning with three bags of chickens.
The negroes escaped and were traced
I with bloodhounds as,far as Reidsville,
i where the trail was lost.
Five-Yeat Sentence
Given To Wilson
Anderson, Nov. 28.?To the end
that girls may not "bother" him,
Judge H. H. Watkins today ordered
Willie Wilson, 38-year-old Grover
(N. C.) married man, confined in the
Atlanta penitentiary for five years.
Wilson pleaded guilty in federal
court to two charges of violating the
Dyer motor vehicle act.
Why, the court asked, did he take
the automobile across state borders?
Wilson's explanation was the same
Adam gave. A woman, Esther Fureron,
former Anderson college student,
persuaded him, Wilson said
"If an 18-year-old girl can persuade
yau, a married man with family,
to do this," Judge Watkins said,
"I think I'll put you where the girls
cant bother you." _
Two five-year sentences he imposed
on Wilson "will run-eoneurrentlyr Previously
the grand jury had refused
to indict Wilson on charges of
having violated the Mann white slave
act.
Miss Furcron, daughter of a Grover
Baptist minister, disappeared from
Anderson college some weeks ago,
A wide search found her in Athens,
Ga. She said Wilson had enticed her
away from school by telling her she
was to be taken to meet her fiance
to be married.
Wilson was later arrested in Rock
Hill, S. C., and brought here for
trial.
The confederation of 47 different
organizations for an educational campaign
to educate the people against
the evils of the liquor traffic, is planned
by the Washington headquraters
of the Methodist Board of Prohibition
Temperance and Public morals.
It is proposed to raise a fund of three
to six million dollars for the* campaign
to be nation-wide in its scope.
The business depression has hit the
liquor traffic of Ontario, Canada, as
47,181 fewer permits were issued by
the liquor control board during the
first twelve days of November than
were issued during the same period
of time last year. Liquor buying
permits sell for $2 and $1 each.

Missing Woman Flyer
Safe After Landing
Nassau, Bahamas, Dec. 1.?The
lonely Island of Andros, largest in
the Great Bahama Bank, saved the
life of Mrs. P. M. Keith-Miller after
she had virtually been given up for
dead for four days.
. Mrs. K e i th - M i lie r, a widely known
Australian airwoman^ left Havana
at 9:11 o'clock Friday morning with
the announced intention of going to
Havana. She flew a small and much
used monoplane which had neither
radio, bank dial nor blind-flying instruments
and took off in the face
of expert advice that the weather
was too bad for such a venture.
After that nothing was heard until
shb arrived here today, saying
she had been caught in a terrific
gale Friday and was forced, to land
on Andros. She immediately sent
cablegrams to .her mother, Mrs. C.
S. Beveridge of New York, and $Irs.
John Liggett, Jr., of Pittsburgh, advising
them of her safety. 'Mrs.
Liggett was one of the sponsors of
Mrs. Keith-iMiller's Pittsburgh-Havana
flight.
Details of the landing were difficult
to obtain. Captain W^N._Lancaster,
former flying partner of Mrs.
Keith-vMiller, said at Miami that he
had been advised by the flier's mother
that she was forced to use a
collapsible rubber raft after landing.
She was picked up by a fishing
boat, and the slowness of this craft
in getting to Nassau presumably accounted
for the length of time required
to get thc-^story of her safety
to the world.
A Chicago gangster on Saturday
,was very much insulted when Judge
Lyle told him that he has been arrested
37 times. "It was an insult,"
said the gangster. "He said I'd been
arrested 37 times. It's not so. I've
never been urrested but 24 times in
all my life.'*

and Mrs. Irma Loucks Paris,
26, his former stenographer, are aider

Bowles, 33, society matron, who was
stabbed to death in the apartment of
Mrs. Paris on Nov. 12.
