Preparations should be started now and continued. o The criminal courts of this country are really no place for laughter, no place for pleasure and amusement. Yet great crowds will attend the trials especially if the crime charged is one against society. I)o they go with the purpose of trying to uphold the majesty of the law with their presence? Are they so much interested in the enforcement of law and order? Is it possible for them to do any good by their presence there? Do they control the judge or the jury sitting on the case? Really not. They must go for the purpose of listening at the slanderous or morbid tales of life, rather than for purposes which it is well known they cannot possibly accomplish by being there. HIDDEN POCKETS EXUDE WEALTH Three White Men Arrested as Pickpockets Had $792 on Hand ARE IDENTIFIED AFTER DETECTIVE WORK ???? < f Merchant Who Lost $500 Picks Out Men as Those Who Jostled Him. Under the prying fingers of local detectives in Charlotte, N. C., last week during the course of a search took place at an early hour last Friday morning, hidden pockets in the clothes of three alleged pickpockets, gave up: an aggregate sum of $792. The three rich veins of currency extraction were John Miller, G. W. Wilson, alias G. W. Haskill, and William Monaghan, the trio of white men who were arrested by Charlotte officers on Tuesday, suspected of complicity in the light-fingered art as practiced upon circus-day visitors. By far the greater portion of this amount was taken from the; person of Miller, where in a pocket beneath the waistband of his trousers, $571 in currency was found snugly reposing. In a similar recess in the trousers of Wilson, $146 was removed, while Monaghan, the pauper of the trio., could muster but $75. Are Identified. Mr- JE. T. Huneycutt of Stanfield, Stanly County, whose pocket was pick ed on Tuesday for a roll which reached the sum of $500, identified the il c .* 1 _ . _ j l i _ uiree men positively as me same wno crowded and jostled him on North Tryon street a few moments after the conclusion of the parade. It was but an instant later that the realization came that his mazuma had departed, along with the rude strangers. Mi*. Huneycutt also gave an excellent description of the denomination of the currency lost; a description which tallies accurately with the denomination of the bills removed from the person of Miller. The Stanly County man also remembers especially this member of the trio as the one who was closest to him during the jostling process. In addition to Mr. Huneycutt, a number of other callers made their appearance at the police station during the course of the day; despoiled wallet owners whose losses had ranged from $12 to $30. One of this number was of the opinion that Miller was also the man who frisked him in the crowd, but was unwilling to risk a positive identification. Admit Greenville Hotel Bill. Confronted by Mr. Alan B. Henry yesterday morning, the three prisoners for the first time admitted culpability in the matter of a Greenville, S. C., hotel bill, the indirect medium through which they now find themselves in limbo. Mr. Henry is manager of the Ottaray Hotel, the leading hostelry of the South Carolina city, where Miller, Wilson, and Monaghan were registered under assumed names. The1 trio departed without the formality of a settlement. Upon his arrival in this city, the Greenville man presented the page from the Ottaray register, bearing the fictitious signatures of his erstwhile guests. In company with Detective Joe Orr, a visit was paid to local hotels and at the Selwyn, the signature of "J. W. Barber" was found, whose chirography corresponded to the name of "A. B. Lowery," upon the Ottaray exhibit. The officer and hotel man then called at the room assigned "?J. W. Barber," and finding it devoid of occupants, made a thorough search of the several suit cases and other posessions in the room. Nothing incriminating was discovered. The eye of the detective was taken however, with a pair of gold headed umbrellas, identical in appearance, which were among the posessions of the absent ones. Those (iold Headed Umbrellas. Although the hotfd lobby was watched carefully during the day, the sought men did not appear. In the afternoon, Detective Orr trailed the | carriers of a gold-headed umbrella in I to a local moving picture house on West Trade street but in the hope that he would meet the other two men, fore j went arrest. This man later preyed to be Miller. While standing in front ( of the theatre awaiting the exhibit of the quary, the officer spied across the street, a man carrying the mate to the ), f ? umbrella borne by the one already under surveilance. Fearing to leave the THE HORRY V>* BANDITS HOLD UP AN EXPRESS TRAIN Masked Men Go Through M.? K. and T. Cars in Oklahoma Oklahoma City, Okla.?Southbound Missouri, Kansas and Texas passenger train No. 9, was held up and robbed at 2 o'clock two miles south of Onapaand nine miles north of Eufaula, on the main line from Parson to Denison, by ten ,or more masked bandits who blew open the safe in one express car obtained an undertermined amount or money and valuables, failed to open three other safes and escaped without attempting to rob passengers. The bandits boarded the train at Checotah, or some point north of the scene of the robbery, climbed over the baggage and mail cars and forced the engineer to stop the train. Then wer\t shack to the coaches, found the conductor and forced him to open the express ^car. The bandits worked more than an hour. Five charges of ilif rn.trl xvini'iim ?1 1? w SI.K.VIIIIC ucic cAjjimieu ueiore the.safe was opened. Attempts were made to open one safe in the second express car and two in the third, but neither yielded to repeated attempts. Some of the robbers guarded the train crew who were lined up along the side of the track, others guarded the passenger .coaches, and some went back along the track to stop a freight train behind the passenger. A dozen or more shots were fired by the bandits A brakeman from the passenger train was shot through the finger when he attempted to escape. The engineer of the freight train behind es-; caped from his captors and ran to Onapa, giving the alarm. After abandoning their work, the; robbers are said to have thanked the | train crew and wished thew "good night," disappearing into the darkness, apparently on foot. cornered prey, the sleuth contrived to forward word to Detective L. L. Wilson and Patrolman Walter Orr, but the second man had disappeared Equipped with a description of the umbrella, detectives were dispatched to various railway stations. It was at the Seaboard that Detective Officers Wilson and Orr pounced upon upon the second umbrella carier, who prov- , ed to be Wilson. Miller was subsequently followed to his room at the Selwyn, where in company with Monaghan and a third man, he was arrested. The third man ,a Raleigh resident, was not tangibly connected with | the transaction and was later released. The officers assert that either Miller or Monaghan had just handed a large . roll of bills to the Raleigh man before an entrance was effected into the room. Detectives Orr and Bradley, and Patrolman Orr constituted the . raiding party, the two gum-shoe artists having followed Miller through devious turns before his arrival at the Selwyn. Although identified by Mr. Henry as the neglected guests, the trio stoutly denied the allegation at headnuart ers and claimed mistaken identity. Tt was later they laughingly admitted the hotel bill and paid the Greenville proprietor. Healthy Ol Brings < Simple Remedy Promotes Health by Overcoming Tendency to Constipation.

WAS STARTED SUNDAY BY SPECIAL MESSENGER Is About 10,000 Words Long and is Known to Repeat Protest. Washington.?America's long considered protest against British intei ference with commerce between the United states and Europe has been dispatched to London by special messenger And will be presented by Ambassador Page at the British foreign office this week. It became known that the note, which is about 10,000 words long and covers exhaustively thr> argument of the American government on all phases of interference with neutral trade, was approved by the President and started on its way to London. Alexander W. Kirk, third secretary of the American embassy at Berlin, who had returned to Washington carrying documents from Ambassador Gerard, was entrusted with the mission on his return journey to Berlin. \\ as Kept Secret. The fact that the communication had been sent was kept secret, instructions having been given to officials that no announcement of any kind was to be made about it. That it contains a rcpitition of argument made in the note of March 30th which recorded the Washington government's first protest against the order in council of so-called blockade, is admitted, but iio intimation was given by officials as to what measures are proposed in the event that there is no modification of British practices. Not only does the latest communication cover the various notes and memoranda sent b> the British government since March 30, but it also ac knowledges and discusses the lenethv note that came from Great Britain in January in response to the first p/'Jlests by the United States again? t interference with neutral trade. Note Bryan Wanted to Send. It was the note new on its way which former Seciotarv Bryan advocated sending at the si/me time that the second i.usitania note was dispatched to Berlin last o'uue. President Wilson declined to send it at that time because of the fear that the United States might be placed in the position of baragining for its rights with Germany on the basis of its attitude toward Great Britain With the clearing up of the submarine controversy through the satisfactory settlement of the Arabic case, it was announced at the State Department that the note to Great Britain would go forward. o J.

Washington.?A graphic story of the battle of life waged in vain, 300 feet beneath the surface of the sea by 21 men who perished in the navy's sub marine F-4 last March at Honolulu is told indhe final report of the loss of the vessel submitted by a board of inquiry headed by Admiral Busch. Examination of the wrecked hull convinced the board that the disaster was caused by a leak resulting from a corroded battery lining and the failure of the boat to respond to the rudder change which should have returned her to the surface. Discarding the theory once advanced that chlorine gas brought quick relief in death to the crew, the board, from signs within the rusted and battered hulk pieces gives out in its report a dramatic account of how the doomed men strove desperately to save themselves as their vessel sank. Fifteen met death in th engine room, where they sought refuge at the last; six died at their posts in the flooded forward compartment. All membes of the ship's company are absolved from blame in this tribute: V..? l\ 1 1 i/ui* io carelessness. "From the facts established we find that the accident resulting in the disaster to the U. S. submarine F-4 on March 25, 1915, was not due to carelessness, negligence or inefficiency on the part of the officers or men of the vessel and that, furthermore, the personnel remained at their respective stations until all effective means employed to avert the disaster impending had failed and thereafter sought refuge." o NOTICE.
