No sooner was the splendor of yes

to have been Identical with that of
his father, the omission occurred not
only In the document read to London,
but ni the official copies used In the
provincial cities. A high court offi
cer today declared that there seemed
little likelihood of avoiding a repe

if George were to reign legally, but
that an Investigation had been begun
to ascertain If the heralds Included

absence from the printed documents.
The privy council was today noti

Kinston, May $. ? Quite a sensa
tion was created here this afternoon
when a detective made a wholesale
arrest of alleged blind tigers, getting
about all of the moat prominent al
leged offenders and among them
some prominent merchants.
For about two weeks the detectlre
has been here with a companion os- *
tenslbly organizing a secret society.
Today, having got his ducks In a row,
he went before Justice of the Peace
Peebles and swore but wsrrants for
Mab l^aroque, Jr.. W. W. Tuten,
Charlie Waller. Henry Williams
Walter Fields. Paul Bond and two^
women of the Sugar Hill district.
Mabel Paige and Hattie Johnson.
The first three nsmed waived ex
amination and were bound over to
court under bond.
Williams, Fields and Bond will be
tried by Justice Peebles tomorrow,
and the two women have their trial
tonight.
All or t he^men were running near
beer saloons. The first named is n
brother of the mayor of the town.
This sweep gets the chief offenders,
and it is certain that tiger hunting
will be very poor for a time, at least
from now.
