Joseph B. Keenamf assistant attorney
general, addressing the Cummings
national crime conference in
Washington, suggested that the
names of all the .persona sponsoring
paroles for convicts, as well as those
of individuals writing authorities asking
clemency for convicts, should be
made available to the public.
Mrs. Anne Cannon Smith, who mar-;
^ ried n Yorkville (several years ago
in a m id night ceremony, and was later
divorced from Smith Reynolds at
Reno, Nov., has attacked the validity
of that divorce in her fight to secure
the larger part of the Reynolds millions,
which are also claimed ' by
Reynolds' widow, Libby Holman, th<*
Broadway singer.
I Business Oak From An Acorn
Back in the 80s a young railroad
clerk in Redwood Falls, Minn., devisdd
an ingenious scheme for selling
watches through express companies.
He would send a watch l?y express to
a fictitious name in some nearby city.
In time >yord would come back from
t)he express company that the watch
was unclaimed. Then the young man
whose name was Richard Sear?, would
write back, setting a price on the
watch and asked the express Agent
holding it to sell it) for him, keeping
out a commission. In most cases the
agent would sell the watch and Sears
soon had a thriving business built up.
He 'began adding other nvxeiiandise

emerged the huge m il . "V/r house

The sudden drop in temperatures
over the country the first of the week
brought death and much suffering to
many people. In Minneapolis, Minn.,
13 families were driven c>? |

sons were forced from a tenement
house by fire at Tuppers Lake, N. Y.
Fire destroyed property valued at
$100,000 at a ship yard at Somerset,
Mass. Snow fell from Maine to
Tampa, Fla., and also across the
country in most states.
Harley Holder was granted a divorce
in the superior court at Gastonia,
N. C., on Monday and immediately
left the court on his second
honeymoon. The judge learning that
Holder had been married two days!
before he was granted "his divorce
from wife No. 1, set officers on his
trail. He was arrested at Danville,
Va., and is facing a charge of bigamy
and contempt of court with his bond
fixed at $5,000.
Twenty-five or more guests of the
Kerns hotel at Lansing, Mich., were

M. Leon-Joseph Madeline, the arch$>
tect, has gone even further.
He designed a building with an airplane
landing field on top and surrounded
with lagoons, where hydroairplanes
may land.
ills design has been approved by the
committee of distinguished architects.
The building chosen will cover twelve
acres of land. The roof, by the use
of cantilever arches, will be supported
only by the four walls and yet will
still be strong enough to hold up the
great twelve-acre airplane field.
The ground about the building will
cover another eight acres, Including
the large lagoons. In addition, the
new building will solve a problem
which has puzzled those interested la
commercial aviation f^>r a long time.
The building will make available,
on the outskirts of Paris, a landing

the technical services, laboratories and
Industrial factories for the manufacture
of airplanes in this district are
located at Issy-les-Moullneaux.
Clipping Records Birth
of Octuplets in 1859
Jefferson, Ohio,?Birth of quintuplets
to Mrs. Ollva DIonne at Oorbell,
Ont., recently caused an International
sensation. But this multiple
birth would sink Into Insignificance beside
one that occurred south of here
75 years ago.
The story came to light recently In
an old scrapbook which contains a
clipping from tho New York Tribune,
August 4, 1850, from Johnson,
Trumbull* county, Ohio.
"On the second day of August," the
clipping reads, "Mrs. Timothy Bradley
gave birth to eight children?three
hoys and five girls. They are living
and are healthy, hut quite small.
"Mr. B.'s family Is Increasing fast.
He was married six years ago to Eunice
Mowry, who weighed 273 pounds
on the day of their marriage. She
has given birth to two pairs of twins
and now eight more, making twelve
children in six years .It seems strange,
but nevertheless true, Mrs. B. was a
twin of three, her mother and father
both being twins and her grandmother,
the mother of five pairs of twins.
"Mrs. B. has named her boys after
noted and distinguished men?one after
the Hon. Joshua R. Glddlngs (Otvll
war congressman), who has given her
a splendid medal; one after Rev. Hon.
Elijah Champlln, who gave her a deed
of 00 acres of land, and the other after
James Johnson, esq,, who gave her a
cow.
"Mr. Bradley says It Is profitable to
have twins, ajp the neighbors have
clothed the brothers ever since they
were born. Mr. B. Is a poor, lpdustrious
laborer, who says he will not
part with any of his children while
he Is able to work."
Leipzig Shows Pencils
That Will Weigh Mail!
Leipzig.?Your fountain pen or pencil,
after being used to Wflte a letter,
also may be Utilized to weigh It and
indicate the required postage. A pocket
pen or pencil of the ordinary size
is equipped with a letter scale with
spring attachment. On placing a letter
on the end of the pencil, an Indicator
at once points to the necessary
postage, whether for domestic or foreign
delivery. The new device, which
is cheap and highly practical, has
been exhibited at the Leipzig fair.
Bankers Mystified by
Silver Dollar Increase
Walla Walla. Wash?Local banker*
want to know where all the silver dol-'
dars are coming from. ..For the past
three years at least one bank has sent
monthly shipments of the "cartwheels"
out to rid the city of the surplus.
Banks here "export" about $5,000
worth of silver dollars a month.
Clock in Deserted
Cabin Runs 8 Years
Placerville, Calif.?An etght-day
clock in a vacant mining cabin has
been kept running for eight years.
[ When the mining company abandoned
work In 1927, some one
tacked a sign, "Please wind the
clock," beneath the timepiece.
Fishermen and hunters using the
cabin Tor overnight headquarters
have been faithful In following instructions.
Enough of them visit

Lottie Villepigue Hollis and J. K.
Hollis, iboth of whom have served
terms in the -South Carolina penitentiary,
were arrested in Cayce yesterday
morning -by Constable Sam
Glaze, who laid been informed by
jthe law enforcement division of the
state highway department tluvt, they
were wanted on several counts, including
an allegation of dlteck
forgery, a warrant for them having
been sworn out in Sumter. They
are being held in the Columbia city

The woman served time after conviction
in the Kershaw county court
at Camden on a manslaughter charg?

of "disposing of property under a
lien" and was admitted to the penitentiary
July 10, 1926, to serve!
from five to ten years.
The coufpie had been sought by officers
for some time. Recently the
highway department sent officers over
the Btabe a description of the
couple and of the car they" were driv;
ing. A. R. Ward, assistant chief of
| the highway department, said.
Officer Glaze was in New Brookland
and recognized tQfe number of
the car bb it was passing through.
He jumped in his own car and started
a chase. He overtook the. Hollis car
in -reaching Cayce and stopped it by
crowding it imto the curfb.
The woman and man each had a
number of checks, officers said,
written on various South Carolinians,
one a well known Columbia knecrchznt
A number of the checks tfhtat were
passed, however, bore the name of a
Oamden man as executor -and were
countersigned with names of other
well known persons.
The highway department has already
received a number of the
checks which were allegedly ipassed
by the couple, and is requesting other
persons wtto hold ohecka which appear
.to have been passed by them to
forward them to the law enforcement
divisdon at once.
The car the couple was driving was
said to have -been sought by a finance
concern for lack of payments. It
was registered at the highway department
