ROBBERS SECURE CAR AND MONEY And Bound and Gagged Ab* emethy, Who Was Left in An Old Tobacco Bam Near Aberdeen. \ tale of piracy on the highway* of North Carolina came to light here Tues day upon the return to this city of Ar thur Abemethy, victim of Jrirntes who worked Sunday night under the cover of rain and fog on one of the principal roads of the State—that one leadii/g from Aberdeen to Biscoe. Ar a result of his experience with the road bandits Mr. Abemethy is nursing several bruises, a shocked nervous sys tem and a grudge. He is minus a Ford roadster and about $13.50. The hold-up of Mr, Abemethy, who was returning to Concord from Raleigh, where he visited friends at State College, occurred about six miles from Aberdeen, he tells in his graphic story of bis seiz ure and escape, on the main road from Aberdeen' to Biscoe. After being robbed the Concord man was bound and gagged and placed in an old tobacco barn, after which his captors rode off in his Ford. Mr. Abernethy's story follows: “I was returning to Concord from Raleigh late Sunday afternoon. At Vass I stopped to get gas and oil and while standing there a young man in khaki clothes asked me to let him ride. 1 granted the request, he got in and we started, goiug through Southern Dines and Aberdeen without stopping. Just a few miles out from Aberdeen it began raining rather hard, so the young man, asked me to put up the curtains nu his side of the car, as I had done on my side before leaving Raleigh. Finally I stopped about six miles from Aberdeen and started to put the curtains on. • “By that time the rain bad slackened, so 1 got in the car ami tobV my compan ion to get in. He hesitated about doing • -»o ttJd'-bior o- tjw ■ tlr. - Ate busily got in and I noticed that he "look ed back several times, I looked also, but ns I could sec nothing 1 asked him what was wrong. He made no reply, but nt that minute and coincident with an effort on m.v part to start the ear. I saw two men. dressed in sailor uuiforms, step up. "The men said something I did not understand and as they aroused m.v sus picions, I again made an effort to start the ear. Then one of them stepped in front of the car ami said: ‘You don't think it mean it, do yon?’ and pulled a 45-ealibre army pistol. I was warned not to make any alarm and was -told to get out of the car. I hesitated and nak ed for an explanation but only got an other command to ‘come on out.' Final ly the man in the car drew his gun also and I saw nothing to do but get out. “They made me hold up m.v hands aud the man in the Ford drove the car down the road a short distance while the n<bn dressed as sailors went through m.v pock ets, one searching and the other holding the gun. While this was going on I got a chance at the man nearest to me nnd I knocked him down with my fist and started to hit the other, but he stepped out of reach. I started toward him again and lie answered with a threat that if I moved again lie would plug mi. I beard the-guu click. The other man was up by that time and he tied m.v hands behind my ‘back, went through my pockets again and found $lO that the other bad overlooked. "The first man got about $3.50. a memorandum book and other articles. "They then led nie down the road about 50 yards, then off the highway to an old tobacco barn. Here they bound iny hands again, tied m.v feet and gagged me with several handkerchiefs, tying the handkerchiefs with ■ a rope which sheys hey ran around my neck. They closed the door propped ..ft. with a stick nnd left. It was about 7:30 o’clock then. “1 got the gag from my mouth without trouble ahd then began scheming to get the ropes off. 1 tried for about an hour to get the ropes from my wrists aiid ns I couldn’t do this I started to work on the ropes around my ankles. They were tied with ‘sailors knots' and the more I pulled the tighter they became. Then I thought of the buckle on ray ov ercoat. I tried to sharpen it on some bricks so that it would cut, but with my hands behind my back I couldn't make much headway. Finally I got my bauds on a broken brick which had a sharp edge and cut the ropes on m.v an kles. Then I walked around the barn until I came to the stove stack. I knock ed it apart and sawed the ropes on my wrists on the sharp corrugated edge. "It was about two miles to tjie near est house. I tried to get the man to take me back to Aberdeen or oq to Hoff man, but lie did not have aitfthing to take men in, .so I waited until morning and started toward Hoffman. A Mr. Short came along in a Ford and asked me to ride. I rode to Hamlet with him, telegraphed to the Cabarrus Savings Bank for money, got In touch with the police and reported the trouble. I learn ed that some men answering the descrin < tion of my assailants ate in a Hatultft case between 8 and 9 p. m. Sunday. “I left Hamlet in the afternoon, got to Charlotte that night and arrived in in Concord on No. 80 Tuesday morning."

Nov. 7.—Through its own stu pidity—not to put it any Stronger—the German government is faced with a finan cial catastrophe worse than any that has preceded it.

COTTON TRADING ACT UP FOR DISCUSSION Several Proposals For Changes Present ed to Federal Trade Commission. (By the Associated Press.) Washington. N’ov. 7.—Opposing views on proposals for changes in cotton trad ing act were presented the Federal Trade Commission today at the inquiry into the question with the suggestion that delivery on fiftSres contracts tie permit ted to lie designated to Southern points, drawing the most tire. Representatives of various interests discussed the various phases of the business, under which scru tiny at the senate’s request, including not only the tenders of contract but dif ferentials and other questions. George McFndden, of the ■ New York Cotton Exchange, told the commission that establishment of Southern delivery points for liquidation of future con tracts would provide "attractive bait,” for a big syndicate dealings and manip ulations, because it would depress prices of near mouth positions and place prem iums on distant months. Carrying charges encountered under the present system of New York delivery he said, would thus be reduced, and risks attend ing' such delivery be eliminated. The producer, he said, would average less for ins cotton than he now receives. Mr. McFaddeti opposed any changes in the law which would prohibit futures trad ing, arguing that such restrictions would weaken the contract to the disadvantage of the farmer as well as the merchant by reducing his market. The present range of ten tenderable grades, he said, was ad quate. A Thousand Shops Are Wrecked in the German Food Riots.
