The hound fol opinions as to the guilt of the two men lowed it to the Penland neighborhood and treed a prominent citizen who made his alibi so convincing that no body even thought of accusing him. Again the hound was taken to the back-door and told to smell again and after putting all on the trail that the dog could smell up, the same citizen was treed and the same alibi was set up. The robbery as a piece of highway is believed that the store was entered by boys rather than by professiionals. The presence of a lot of chewing-gum and the absence of really valuable goods lends respect to that view. But bad. That hound will be given a bad character before the United States Supreme court and the latest escapade will doubtless be urged against the hound's reputation for truth: The dog unquestionably made sentiment against the accused men and aided in keeping from around them that pre sumption of innocence, with which the law invests accused men. Meanwhile, Reverend Lynn K. Dilts, their pastor, is doing all he can to save them from the chair. He does not believe that they are guilty and is so strongly persuaded of it that he has become an opponent of capital punishment in which he believed al together. Mr. Dilts believes that tes timony will yet come, that will acquit them and that a reasonable stay of execution will develop it. CHARLOTTE CLUB TO PLAY NASHVILLE: (By Associated Press) Charlotte, N.

(By AsocTaCd Press.) , Vienna, Sept. 9. Eirifesror Francis Joseph spent his third "war birthday" August 18 in absolute retirement in his palace at Schoenbrunn, just outside Vienna. Only a special mass in the castle chapel and a family din ner party distinguished the day from any other in the monarch's ordinary life. For the rest it -was spent as usual, in work' from dawn until even ing. ' - His ieighty:sixth birthday found the Emperor in fairly good health, despite ( all rumors to the contrary. Statesf men who have seen him lately express astonishment at his mental and bod ily vigor, but allowing for some courtier-like exaggeration, it is generally believed that the sovereign's : health is remarkably good, considering his advanced age, and especially all the worries and burdens resulting frdm the war. Rising at four the Emperor takes a very light breakfast of tea or. choco late and bread and butter and is. at his desk by five. His barber comes three times a week, though now he is enrolled in the Landstrum. It hap pens frequently that he cannot come at the proper time, having guard duty, but the Emperor has ordered that nothing is to interfere with his mili tary duties. He arrives at the castle in uniform but puts on a dress coat before going to the Emperor. At 7 o'clock the first adjutant in waiting appears with reports and! state, papers, and any time after that hour audiences are granted to minis ters and high military personages. Work goes on steadily all the day, interrupted only by the briefest pauses for meals. . Naturally the customary rejoicings on the occasion of the Emperor's birthday throughout the country have been greatly curtailed by the war. In Vienna a high mass at the cathe dral, attended by all the prominent state and municipal personages, fol lowed by a-, state dinner at. thevCar- dinal Archbishop's and, the firing of a salute at the arsenal are the chief items on the program Usually great. crowds flocked to the Prater, which j was illuminated in the evening, but, this year the population was in little mood for such festivities, and the crowds were far smaller than in other years.
