Millie a Third is Still Being Grilled. Los Angeles. May 31.—Film fans had the assurance of Los AligHrs police -to day that the plot of two truck drivers aud an automobile salesman jo kidnap Mary Pick ford aud hold her for $200.- 000 ransom had been effectively crush ed. Os the three alleged plotters arrested yesterday and held in the city jail. on suspicion of conspiracy to commit ,» felony, two. it was announced by de tectives tonight, have made full • or partial confessions and the third is being subjected to further grilling. Mean while two automatic pistols have been discovered utnong the effects of the suspects, which, officers say. 1 will prove important evidence if it can be estab lished that they were purchased after the conspirators conceived iheir plan to emulate Robiu Hood by extracting ransom money from the wealthy screeu portrayer of that role. Douglas Fair banks. For Fairbanks, as the husband of Miss Pickford. was to be asked to pay the $200,000. according to the police. A. J. Wood, one of the two truck drivers whose purported confession has been made public, is quoted as saying that the plot to kidnap Miss Pickford had its origin in conversation last fall between himself and C. Z. Stevens, the automobile salesman suspect, "soon after they had got a few drinks inside of them." With imaginations thus excited the confession continues. Wood aud Stevens talked night after night about different ways of making easy money”; among these paths to wealth being ideas to kidnap grandsons of E- L. Doheny. the oil magnate; plans to kidnop Pola Negri, Jackie Coognn, the unidentified grandson of g,. re tired millionaire, and lastly, Mary Pickford. The Pickford project finally was selected, detectives said, as the best, of till possible opportunities open to the conspirators. It was decided, they relate, that , (laud A. Holcomb, the orher truck driver, who by this time had been drawn into the kidnaping discussions, should act as chauffeur-of the kidnaping car and armed guard of the improvised prison for Miss Pickford.

CHILD DIES IN BLAZING BARN NEAR WINSTON-SAI-KM Stood In the Door es the Left and Called For Help in Vain. Winston-Salem. May 31. —'Standing iij. the loft door of his father's barn, calling for help and with flames spreading around him, the little son of C. F. Hel sabeck, of near Rural Hall, was burned to death late yesterday afternoon. The child had apparently gone into the loft to play and it is supposed that he probably had a match and the hay was set fire. A little sister of the boy heard his screams and ran with her moth er to the barn where the little fellow was seen amide the. flames, screaming Ie was impossible for the horrou-stricken mother to do anything other than to rail for help until neighbors arrived but even they could do nothing. In the burn were several horses and other stock and all were burned. Mr. Helsabeck was in Winxton-Slem when news of the tragedy was received and hurried to the grief-stricken home. Miami Pullmans to Asheville Crowded. Asheville Citizen. Ail pullman reservations 'out of Miami, Fla., into Asheville have been practically sold out for the entire month of June, according to a letter received ‘ yesterday by the office of the Williaffi I. Phillips Company, owners and develop ers of Royal Pines, near Arden- Mr. Phillips states that he and his family will arrive in Asheville Sunday after noon. A imragrnph from his letter states: ■‘l could not get any reservations out of here before Friday and could not make it on Train No. 30. so that I could get the through sleeper, but will have to stop in Jacksonville all day. and I was lucky to get what I did. for the Ashe ville sleeper out of Miami is practically sold out for the entire month of June.” THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE I IN AND ABOUT THE QTY >lf a. ■1 in » fim n ■ .a 1 !>■>»——a NINTH INNING RALLY WINS FOR GIBSON TEAM John .Mrianis Knocks Home Ron With Two on Bases, Winning Game For the Locate. j Gibson's undefeated nine came just as t near to getting beat Saturday afternoon when they played Ranlo as they have during the entire season and it was only a ninth inning rally that saved them from defeat at 4he hands of the visitors. In this frame,'with two men on bases and ’ the score tied, John Mclnnis. erstwhile, 1 High School pitcher and third baseman. I who was substituting after a shift In the • line-up. -poled one far into ceuterfield for > a home run and broke lip the game, the ' final count being 11-8. The early innings of the game were much as usual. The local swatters got next to Goldsmith in the first two in ■ ningx for four runs and again in the fifth ■ for two more which looked like enough • to win. However, Raulo gradually work ed up toward the mark set by the Gibson team and in the ninth inning went one run in the lead, the score being 8-7. Things looked bad for the locals. Their weak battiug end was up. More than that, there had been little hitting of the pitcher Lineberry who took Goldsmith's place. Gibson seemed in for a beating. Wood, up first, singled, and was fol lowed by Smith who doubled. Wood was caught trying to make home and Smith was left on third. McLean then smacked a hot gropnder and Smith scor ed on a close play in home. Haney sin gled and was followed by Mclnnis. The stands groaned when they saw h : m get hp. He. had not batted before and had not played with Gibson in any previous game. He met the first pitched ball .squarely and smashed it, into deep center field. Hhe ball hit bard ground and Bounced ' over the feflee for the final home run of the game. As is* usual, the short left field fence , aided in home runs. Gibson players get j fling four and Ranlo pulling in two. Each team hit hard, every man on both teams • played for any length of time getting one or more swats. Gibson's new second base man. Ellis, former Wake Forest star, played beautiful ball and hit opportune ly. McLean, a new comer from Kannap olis. also did good work. Baumgartner and Cunniugham did some heavy hitting iu addition to good fielding.

OaldweU Be- }J | fare Large Audience at Oak wood Cone- .3 tery. 3 1 1 Concord paid tribute to its heroic dead 5 . with appropirate Memorial Day exercises 3 yesterday afternoon at Oakwood ceme- 3 tery, the program having been arranged £ under the direction of officers of the Amer- 3 ican Legion, the Legion Auxiliary and 3 . the War Mothers. i Despite the high temperature of the !g day several hundred persons gathered for 3 ■ the exercised which were featured by an S 1 address by &. H. Caldwell and the dec- s ouation of the graves of former service g men and women by the War Mothers. Rev. Charles B. Scovil, rector of AII S Saints Episeopal Chuncli, was chairman £ of tile meeting and after the invocation he introduced Mr. Caldwell, who pleaded (S with his hearers to let the sacrifices of £ these persons who were being honored £ be ns an example to them iu their daily S activities. “ After Mr. Caldwell’s address the graves £ were decorated, andXhe-program was com- £ pleted with the firing of a rifle salute by 2 members of Company E. and the sound- £ ing of “Taps" by the bugler of the local 3 military company. 5 Members of the three organizations £ which had charge of the program met at £ the Legion dub rooms at 2 :30 and went 3 to the cemetery together. In the mean-; 3 time, many other persons had gone di-i £ reetly to the cemetery anil when the ex-, 5 ercises were begun quite a large crowd- 3 was present. j; In his address Mr. Caldwell said: Members of American Legion. Members S of Ladies' Auxiliary. War Mothers and 3 Fellow Citizens: z 1 have stood by the graves of heroes of 3 the American Revolution. 1 have stood 3 by the coffin of a soldier of the War of £ 1812. I have talked with heroes of the H Mexican war. I have listened for hours 3 of the lieroies who followed Lee and 3 Jackson. I saw Co. L when our boys | marched away to the Spanish-Amerioan § War under their gallant Captain Edward 3 Hill. 1 say our boys as they went forth 3 to -the World War. But today for the first time 1 am call- 3 ed upou to speak in this cemetery, where 3 sleep the heroes who fell in the World 3 Wa r. - The Greek had a beautiful custom. Once ; a year in the springtime they met to 5 commemorate the valiant deeds of their Z dead heroes. On such occasions their ; I great orators told the story of the patriot- ; ism ami sacrifice of their heroes who fell jj in defense of their country. So long as ! the people of Greece honored their he- 3 roes. Greece was a mighty nation. Her 3 | generals, lier statesmen, her philosophers, Z I her historians, her poets, her sculptors * and her painters the wonder anil j admiration of the world, and they have jj I never been surpassed by the men of any 2 other nation. But alas the cancer of •; commercialism ate out the lieartf of Greece j and “Greece was living Greece no more.” : Today the name of. Greece suggests to*3 the peojile today nol tlie glory of her ; past, but a race of people best known in - oiir land 11s the keedfu's of restaurants,' 1 and fish stands. My;ff-ienUs, vre shall do | well to heed this example when we of ! the United States shall cease to honor 3 our heroes we shall degenerate into a Z sorry set of Americans. J Bight years ago our boys answered 2 their country's call anti made ready for 3 tlie great conflict in Europe. Six years 3 dgo they came back, and ns wc heard the ; blast of the siren, at Hartsell's mill, all S the people of Concord rejoiced that some '3 mother's bo.v was enuring home. And 3 then came the sad, sad days when the 3 flag-draped caskets were carried into this 3 city of the dead and we heard the firing 3 of guns in honor of the gallant dead. 3 Today we are assembled to decorate 3 their graves and pay tribute to our he- £ roes of the world war. The War Mothers 3 like the vestal virgins of Ancient Rome 3 have devoted their lives to tlie sacred 3 duty of keeping alive tbe memory of the R men who died in the world war, aud pre-_ “ serving the records of the patriotic youths £ who nobly performed their part In the' S hour of America's Tlie Women (if the* Ladies' Auxiliary £ are doing a uoble work-in this county to B keep alive the spirit of patriotism, and H help the unfortunate victims of that war. The American Legion has been form- - id with a purpose that must appeal to all , patriotic people. Not only have they sue-' cceded in forcing Congress to pass over the veto of a reluctant President a sol diers' compensation bill, but they have determined to take all the profit and prof iteering out of war. knowing us they do. 1 that this one thing jwill do more to abolish war than all the so-called pence conferences. Let the government take over all business and industries, even am munition factories at actual eost and it„ will be a long, long time before 109.000 , American boys are again slaughtered wfclle profiteers and (plutocrats amass millions of ill-gotten II It is iudeed a sad (commentary upon our so-called Christiaw civilization when . we contemplate the that ten million lives were snuffed oufsr.billtons upon bil lions piled, upon the btytiks of untold gen erations of men in a Wgir that was start ed by the Kaiser of HjfermaUy because , one man shot one maq. *, Aud yet the man who fired that first ' t shot still lives and the inan who started the war still lives. I O, my countrymen, if this be war. how cruel and how senseless It is. How long, oh how long shall we, the people resort to such savage methods to settle a differ ence. Let us one and all pray God with all our heart and soul that this world war may teach tlie nations of the earth ‘ tbe folly of war. Let .us be ever ready and prepared to defend'nur great country if need be, but let us devoutly hope and prey that never again shall this earth be J cursed by such a wit r»gs the next war wiU be with its deviling -poison gases an nihilating and snuffiliß put the lives of millions of people dropped from a feet of airships.
