A further order was issued that no arms would be allowed to be carried in the city.

The "Old Reliable" has printed 000 copies before, but always on special editions.
Yesterday's eireulation figures were for a regular run. Will X. Coley, circulation manager, came into the local news room wearing a broad smile on his face and waving a slip of adding machine paper. He was evidently looking for someone he could talk to. "We went over 40.000 this morning." he said, displaying the slip.

Mrs. Corson's was one hour and five minutes faster than that of the Tiraboschi. Charles Toth, swimming the channel the same year Tiraboschi, did, came within 21 minutes of the latter's time.

This is that Mrs. Corson's triumph comes not only after years of long distance swimming, but under conditions which find most athletic women out of the sport. She is the mother of two children.

Many months ago, Clarke declared in favor of the World Court, but reversed himself about the time the country observed disasters happening to pro-Court Senators, such as MeKinley in Illinois and others elsewhere. In a sense, this burrying to the anti-Court position is one of the few current political events, having national significance, because it is general. In Idaho, Senator Gooding, having voted for the Court, publicly recanted last week the eve of his campaign for re-election.
In Missouri, the Democratic candidate for United a States Senator, having first favored the Court, reversed himself in the interest of making his candidacy agreeable to the champion, Senator James Reed.

The statement that Route 50 is coming in for by far the greater amount of tourist traffic seetion was based by Mr. Branch, on information obtained at Sanford and South Hill, the terminal points of the Durham- -Oxford competitive report. The estimate of officials at the Virginia terminus of the route was that 75 per cent of the traffic passing through South Hill takes the Route 50 direction.
Chamber officials believe that this preference is in part due to the campaign conducted last year by the commerce body against misleading road signs painting unfavorable pictures of the condition of the route through this city.

Sorrowing relatives kept vigil throughout the quiet Sabbath over the flag draped casket. Tomorrow the staid halls of the Rodgers homestead will echo to the solemn rites accorded the last John Rodgers to fall in line of duty.

In addition to the immediate ily only a few immediate friends were admitted today to the stately room where Commander Rodgers' body lay at peace under the Stars and Stripes. This the family felt, was as the commander would have wished it.
He died as he had desired to die. He lay in death among his 0jvn, where many previous John Rodgers' feet had trod, as' he would have desired to lay. The commander's 72 year old mother was not able to see any one today. The shock of her son's sudden death after the wearing anxiety of the Pacific flight, was great. Rear Admiral John A.
Rodgers, retired, the commander's father, although his face showed his sorrow, nevertheless bore up with true Navy fortitude, and received visitors who delivered their messages of sympathy at the door.

Services tomorrow will be conducted at 3:30 p.
