Young Jew Beaten
By Masked Men
Mitchell Epstein of St. Pauls Taken.
Out of Town Saturday Night and,
Whipped by Four Masked Men I
Threatened With Death if He Did
Not Cease Attention to Certain
Young Lady and Leave Town in
Week. ' -
By 'Phone to The Robesonian.
St. Pauls, Jan. SO. Mitchell Epstein
a young Jew 17 or 18 years old, re
ceived rough treatment at the hands
of four masked men here Saturday
night between 8 and 9 o'clock. Young
Epstein was lured from the store of
his father, Mr. Sam Epstein by a
man who told him that a lady in a
car on the street wished to speak to
him. When he reached the car a
rope was thrown about his neck and
he was dragged into the car and car
ried put of town. Threats to hang
him were made and he was given a
good whipping, it is said. He was
latter released and advised that if he
did not leave St. Pauls in a week he
would be killed. Epstein was also
advised by the men not to pay any
further attention to a certain young
lady, it is said, threats being made
that if he did he would be killed.
When Epstein was being carried
away he made an outcry and those
who would -havegonetohi5Tescue
were held at bay by a masked man
who flashed a pistol. The young
Jew was warned not to tell, upon
pain of death. No arrests have
been made in connection with the af
fair.
There are those who think the men
who pulled this unusual "stunt" were
members of the Ku Klux Klan, but
this has not been ascertained.

Worst Storm
In 23 Years
Middle Atlantic Section in Grip of
One of Most Severe Storms in Sev
eral Decades BuriedUnder Blank
et of Snow.
Washington, Jan. 29. Buried under
from one to more than two feet of
snow by one of the most severe
storms in several decades the mid
dle Atlantic section of the country
spent Sunday in valiant but mostly
vain efforts to resume the activities
suspended Friday night when the
storm swept up from the south.
The storm, described by the weath
er bureau as the worst in 23 years,
tonight had passed out to sea and its
center was said by the weather bu
reau to be some distance north
northeast of Bermuda, but in its
wake from North Carolina to south
ern New England, and from the coast
to the Allegheny mountains, all was
buried under a snow blanket.
Washington, as the center of the
storm area and the center of the
storm's strength, suffered the most
severely a toll of nearly a hundred
lives having been taken, and more
than a hundred injured, some of
whom may be added later to the list
of dead. The loss of life in the. capi
tal, with one or two exceptions, was
due to the -callapse of the roof of a
motion picture theater under the
weight of 26 inches of snow, and this
catastrophe also accounted for most
oi the injuries..
Sentence Changed to $50 Fine.
Recorder David H. Fuller Friday
changed the sentence of Dewey Ellis,
convicted of selling Jamaica ginger,
93 per cent alcohol, from 30 days on
the roads to $50 fine. The sentence
was changed because of the fact that
a physician signed a certificate say
ing that Ellis was not physically able
to do hard labor.

; Theatre Disaster
Roof of: Knickerbooeker Theatre in
Washington Crtfshed in Saturday
N'ht by Weight of Snow 134
Persons Injured, 14 of Them Seri-
ouBly.- in'
. Washington, Jan. 30. (By Asso
ciated Press.) Official police records
I early today placed the known dead in
ihe Knickerbocker theatre disaster at
107. Elimination of duplicated names
brought the final total down from the
unofficial peak of 112 at which the
toll of the catastrophe was placed
vlate last night.
The list of injured stood at 134
with 14 listed as seriously injured,
The official list, according to the
authorities, contained the names of
all those whose bodies had been re
covered up to midnight from the
ruins. The volunteer workers, includ
ing police, firemen, marines and cal
vary from Fort Myer, had practically
concluded their search of .the wreck
age at midnight. The only portion
of what had been the orchestra re
maining to be searched being a far
corner.
The exact number in the theater
when the steel and concrete span of
the roof buckled and fell under its
three-foot load of snow probably will
never be known. Thesforlesof per
haps a hundred who got out unin
jured have been reported. These ac
count for a few more than 300 in the
audience that was roaring in laugh
ter at a film comedy when the roof
fell on them like a blanket, carrying
down the front of the wide balcony in
its crash.
Normally, the theater has had ev
ery seat filled at that hour and near
ly 2,000 persons was its capacity.
The same unprecedented snow fall
which brought death to the venture
some few, kept the many at
home. Street car traffic had been
abandoned and streets and side
walks were all but impassable with
drifts.
There has been no time as yet for
official inquiry as to the cause of the
disaster. The ruins themselves dis
close, however, that the entire mass
of steel-held concrete that formed
the roof had come down. The crash
swept the supports out from under
the balcony, apparently, and this
hinged down at and angle of 45 de
grees adding to the tangled mass of
wreckage on the floor below.
The building stands in an acute
angled corner at 18th street and Co
lumbia road, Northwest, the heart of
the most favored residence section of
the city. The narrow niche of the
stage on which the screen was hung
was backed into the corner angle
while to the left from the stage, the
line of the auditorium wall runs in a
straight line for some 200 feet down
18th street. To the right the wall
follows the slow curve of Columbia
road for about the same distance and
at the far end, paralleling the stage
front, the back wall completes the
auditorium proper, also about 200
feet in length.
This whole space stood roofless to
the sky a moment after the first
hissing sound of the breaking roof
gave warning above the music of the
orchestra. There is only one sur
viver thus far who has told of having
heard that warning and seen the first
powdery handful of snow sift down
over the head of the orchestra leader
in time to make his escape. From
his seat well forward on the main
floor, he raced for the door at the
back. A great blast of air expelled
as the roof came down hurled him out
through the doorway to safety.
Most of the bodies were recovered
from the floor of the pit beneath
the wreckage of the balcony or from
the front of the balcony itself. Fol
lowing the rule of motion picture au
diences and with an almost empty
house to pick from those on the main
floor had grouped themselves in the
rows of seats just below the front of
the balcony. They Were back far
enough to see well and the front and
back rows were almost empty.
At the point they had chosen, the
danger proved to be just double. Few
of those seated there could have es
caped. Even if the falling concrete
slabs and steel work of the roof miss
ed them, the solid mass of the bal
cony front came down on the first
wreckage with crushing weight. The
gleaming .brass rail that adorned the
balcony front lay spread over the
wreckage of the roof fifteen feet be
low when rescuers reached the scene.
Those farther back of the main
floor probably all escaped. The
beams that supported the back end
of the balcony did not let go their
clutch on the wall. The wide sweep
of seat they supported tilted down
until the wreckage below took the'
weight of the front end and then
stood covering the .back rows of the
main floor like a tent.
The front rows of the balcony were
ground to a twisted mass of ruin in
the fall. There was no wood in the
structure. It was all steel and con
crete, but the enormous weight of the
balcony was itself sufficient to wind
the tortured beams into fantastic
shapes.

Springs, is a Lumberton visitor today.
Better Building ,
Will Replace Old
PhJladelphus Spirit is to ' Replace
Burned School Building With New-
Some Equipment Was Saved No
. Interruption la School Work.
' By J. L, Memory, Jr.
Philadelphus, Jan. 27. On Wed
nesday, January 25, the Philadelphus
school building was completely de
stroyed by fire. The conflagration
was first discovered . about three
o'clock above the ceiling in the farm-
life department on the second floor.
When the tin roof was ripped open
in an effort to get to the flame, a
tremendous outburst of black smoke
immediately enveloped the entire
building, leading one to believe that
the fire had been in progress for
some time, concealed .between the
ceiling and the roof. The smoke made
the ' work of rescuing equipment on
the second floor, impossible as well
as dangerous, for the flames were
hidden in ihe black cloud. The school
is to be congratulad, however, that
no one was even scorched and that
a good percent of the chapel seats,
all library books, the entire primary
equipment, and , individual record
system were saved, because within
thirty minutes after the fire was dis
covered all roofs had fallen in.
The cause"of he: f if e isgenerally
conceded to be a defective flue. The,
total loss is roughly estimated at
$25,000, partially covered by $13,000
insurance. Public sentiment is heartily
in favor of beginning work at once
on a much better building which, it
is hoped, will be ready for use at
the opening of the fall session. The
Philadelphu spirit is seen in the
words of one big-hearted patron who
remarked during the fire, "I, for one,
am willing to give a check for $500.00
tomorrow to begin work on a better
building." A few such donations, to
gether with the insurance, will make
the work of reconstruction simple.
Temporary arrangements have been
made for continuing the school work.
The boys' dormitory, a twelve-room
building, is being used for classes,
the boys having found shelter in a
neighboring building. Due to good
management, with the wholesome co
operation of the entire community,
school work was continued the next
morning without the loss of an hour's
time.
Most Severe Weath

weather this section has experienced
since the winter of 1917-18. Cold
weather was accompanied by rain,
sleet and snow. While much of the
snow melted as it fell, enough fell
during the week to have covered the
ground several inches had it "stuck."
The snow was general throughout!
the South Atlantic States, reaching
a depth of from 6 to 30 inches in
many sections. Traffic was greatly
handicapped in many places, trains
being tied up for several hours as a
result of the heavy snowfall.

Mr. Mclntyre Talks
About Banking
Talk at School Opening Friday Was
About Banking Business Every
Girl and Boy Should Have a Savings
Account in Some Bank, Speaker
Declared, as He Stressed Import
, ance of Saving.
"Every boy and girl in Lumberton
should. iave a savings account in
some bank," declared Mr; Stephen
Mclntyre, vice-president of the Na
tional'Bank of Lumberton, in an ad
dress at the chapel exercises at the
high school auditorium Friday morn'
ing. Mr. Mclntyre began his inter
esting and instructive talk by ask
ing, ."What is a bank?" He then
answered his own question. The word
bank came from the word bench, he
said. In the long ago before banks
were known the money changers used
benches for counting their money. The
word bankrupt came from the word
"benchbroke." . , ,
The speaker defined the difference
between a State and a National bank.
A State bank is authorized by State
government, while a National bank is
authorized by the Comptroller of the
Currency. The State bank gets its
charter from the Corporation Com
mission, while the National bank gets
its perm ission to do business-from
the Comptroller of the Currency. The
State bank must account to the State
and the National bank to the Federal
government. Before either is allowed
to accept deposits, a certain amount
of capital stock must be paid in. The
Sate banks are examined by State
bank examiners and National banks
are examined by men sent out by the
Comptroller of the Currency. Re
ports from State banks are made to
the Corporation Commission, while
National banks make their reports to
the Comptroller of the Currency.
A bank is a place for idle money,
the speaker continued. A place where
money is brought together; The
speaker said that when he came to
Robeson county 26 years ago there
was not a bank in Robeson, Bladen
or Columbus county. Now there are
more than a dozen banks in Robeson
county. Banks are necessary to the
development of any community.
Money should be placed in the banks
for the development of a community.
The importance of saving was
stressed by the speaker. Every boy
and girl should save and have a sav
ings account in some bank, he said.
Mr. Mclntyre warned against draw
ing checks upon a bank when one
had no account in such bank. That
is drawing bogus checks.
Banks must be managed by capa
ble and honest persons. The banking
business is one of the cleanest, nicest
businesses on can engage in. The
banks offer good positions to both
boys and girls, but one must be well
prepared to enter upon these duties.
Mr. M. F. Cobb, cashier of the Na
tional Bank of Lumberton, was pre
sent. Prof. J. W. R. Norton, principal of
the Lumberton high school, also made
some remarks relative to banks and
what they are for. Mr. Robert Wein
stein had charge of the exercises. De
votional exercises were conducted by
Prof. Norton, while several appro
priate songs were sung by the pupils
of the school.
Mr. H. B. Jennings, local cotton
mill man, will talk on cotton mills
at the chapel exercises next Friday
morning and Mr. S. F. Caldwell has
been asked to represent the merchants
of the town the following Friday.

Washington, Jan. 27. (By the As
