WOMAN ARRESTED FOR TAKING HORSE

FROM MARSH F Deputy Sheriff Returns May Webster From Dayton Where She Had Driven the Stolen Animal. Women are rapidly demonstrating their right to exercise the suffrage. Having entered all legitimate and illegitimate occupations belonging to men and a few others besides there have graduated women pick-pockets, uetty thieves and shop lifters. The first known women horse thief was arrested yesterday. She is May Webster, 30, home unknown, occupation housekeeper, type as described by sheriff, "trashy looking," a blonde and very self possessed. May Webster came here two months ago she says from some point she will not reveal. About ten days ago she went to work for William Marsh on his farm southeast of Boston in Wayne county. With her was her three year old daughter. Mrs. Webster became deeply engaged in whatever of Marsh's affairs she could probe. Thursday Marsh left home early on business. He had hardly passed through the gate at the end of the lane before Mrs. Webster had her belongings packed. Boy Hitches Horse. She called in a neighbor boy whom she told she had to go to town to buy groceries. He hitched a horse to the best buggy Marsh owned. Mrs. Webster then took her child and departed. When she did not return Marsh notified the sheriff who 6ent out descriptions immediately. Mrs. Webster was arrested south of Dayton and taken to the Montgomery county jail by the sheriff of that county. She told deputy sheriff Mote yesterday when he brought her back to Richmond, that she was on her way to Cincinnati. She said first that she had slept out in the open Thursday night but later said that she had stayed with a farmer. Mrs. Webster left Dayton without a requisition and her attitude was that of one who had previously undergone arrest. She will be taken before Judge Fox In circuit court the last of this week. She is being kept in the woman's prison. It is believed Mrs. Webster took a route along traction lines so that she could find transportation immediately should she have sold the horse. The horse was exhausted by the long drive and was left near Dayton. PRICES ON MARKET ON UPWARD CLIMB Glen Miller Yard Dealings ' Reflect Tendency and General Conditions. Business was active at the Glen Miller Stock Yards last week. The total receipts of live stock were as follows: 782 hogs at 9 cents. 28 cattle at 6 cents. 98 lambs at 7 cents. 46 calves top sales at $10. The prices paid to farmers for stock brought in during the week totaled $24,792.83. Wayne county will be represented by eight car loads of hogs, calves and lambs on the Pittsburg market today, all shipped from the Glen Miller Yards. A number of large consignments of hogs were brought in by Wayne county farmers. Dr. Fouts of Centerville, delivered 340 hogs from his farm at Economy, which brought him $2,702.30. Wilber Doddridge of Center Township sent in 62 hogs that sold for $1,677.80. Markets All Strong. Quotations received at the yards this morning from the large shipping centers, indicated a strong market in spite of large numbers on hand. In Cincinnati top hogs were selling at $9.90, and heavy packers $9.75; Chicago had 15,000 hogs with 13,000 estimated receipts for tomorrow, and tops selling at $9.95. Indianapolis reported 7,000 with the bulk of sales ranging from $9.90 to $10.00. Pittsburg had 30,000 hogs with tops selling at $10.50. Jerome Shurley, manager of the yards, expressed the opinion this morning, that hog prices would be even higher. "It is a purely speculative market at the present time," he said. "The market is subject to quick breaks, and it is hard to predict future prices. The European war will be bound to bring higher prices on meat products, and the local scarcity of corn would mean higher prices under ordinary conditions. Furthermore, market hogs are scarce in the country. If the majority of farmers hold their hogs, prices are bound to go higher yet in the gape between now and the time that new corn will be available." Reflects Corn Shortage. A reflection of the condition existing as a result of present high prices is the fact that farmers who are short of corn are marketing stock hogs, that are not in any shape to kill. These hogs will not produce anything like the meat they should, and their sale is bound to curtail the supply of feeder hops on the farms, which will mean a hoK shortage next year. The following farmers brought stock Into the yards last week: E. C. Reis, Ed. Nichols, W. A. Jlenbo, M. C. Mettle, W. S. Johnson, J. A. Mills. Dick Conway, O. Cranor, Harmon Wolke. Jas. Thompson, Alex Wolting, Frank Robinson, Bert Isenbarger, J. W. Snyder, J. L. McWhinney, Scott Edwards, W. F. McDonnell, Geo. Hill, E. S. Wright, Morrison Wise, Ed. Longfellow, Geo. Clark, J. F. Edwards. Oscar White, H. J. Malone, Bert Hunt, C. W. Crawford, Sari Norris, O. M. Jenning, Will Miller, Harry Osborne. Geo Davis, Rufus Longfellow, L. E. Chenoweth, Harry Wise, N. P. White, L. E. Raper, Oscar Lamb. MEN STEAL GIRL TBY LEASED WIRE. OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 10. Masked Ken early today entered the home of rs. Mary Mick at Schuler, Neb., bound and gagged the woman and carried away her 18-year-old daughter, Alice. No trace of them has been J"und.

BELGIANS DESTROY GERMANPROPERTY Kaiser's People Flee Cities of Belgium After Ransacking of Homes. BY LEASED WIRE. BERLIN, Via London, Aug. 10. Mobbing of German residents in Belgium and destruction of their property by Belgian mobs are described in a dispatch just received here from the Goch correspondent of the official Berlin News Agency. After martial law was declared throughout Belgium on Saturday and all Germans had been ordered to leave at once, some Belgian mobs gathered in the various sections of the city and destroyed most of the stores and shops that were owned by Germans or which dealt in German goods. Homes of Germans were stoned, windows smashed and in some cases the doors were splintered with axes. Germans in the streets were attacked. Thousands of Germans already have left Belgium for Holland under the protection of the American consul and there are few Germans left in Belgium.

PARTIES PREPARE FOR REGISTRATION Though it has not ben determined by either of the political parties in Wayne county whether a petition for the registeratlon of voters in September will be filed, there already is much interest being displayed by those in command of the campaign forces relative to the registration in a general way. Whether there is one or two registeratlon periods fixed, the fact remains that there will be much work tp be done in the way of getting the voters to the polls to qualify for .the November election. The chief change is in the registration law as amended at the last session of the general assembly has to do with the registeratlon of voters who through illness or inability to be in their home precinct on the day of registration may qualify the same as the voter at home. This change will be of benefit to travelling men especially, it being noted that two years ago hundreds of this class of voters were shut out of exercising their ballot because of their inability to be at home on registration day. The law as it now stands will permit the voter who knows yhe will be away from home on registration day to make out a regular application accompanied by an affidavit setting forth the cause of his inability to register in person an dto set forth also his whereabouts on registration day. This application and affidavit may be filed on registration day by any voter of the precinct in which the absentee resides, and he will be qualified to vote. The understanding with regard to this feature of the law, however, that all such application and affidavits for absentees must be filed with registeratlon boards at the October session and not atan earlier session if one should be held. There are some points regarding the law, however, that have in the past caused more or less confusion and promise to do so again, though the party leaders are now at work acquainting themselves with every detail In order to be prepared for any emergencies that might arise. WILLIAM STEEN DIES AT HOME William H. Steen, 91, died at the home of his son, Albert Steen, 108 North Twenty-first street, early this morning. He has long been a member of the St. Paul's Lutheran church and was one of the oldest of the city's German residents. Since the death of his wife last March he has made his home with his son.

MANN Dr. Leonidas Mann, 67, father of Earl H. Mann, died at his home, 109 North Ninth street, early Sunday morning.

SISTER ATTACKS M'KINLEY'S WIFE Greatly angered because her sister-in-law, Mrs. George McKinley, wife of the city weights and measures inspector, had been called by her mother, Mrs. Patrick McKinley, to arrange for her transfer to Reid hospital, Mrs. Eva Sullivan attacked Mrs. McKinley Saturday. A fierce struggle ensued and Mrs. McKinley finally succeeded In shoving Mrs. Sullivan out of the house. McKinley and his sister have not been on good terms for years. An affidavit charging assault and battery was preferred against Mrs. Sullivan and the case will probably be tried tomorrow. McKinley may ask that an inquest be held over his sister to determine her sanity. BY LEASED WIRE. OPPOSE AUSTRIA. ROME, Aug. 10.

SIMPLICITY DOMINANT AT FUNERAL SERVICE OF PRESIDENJ'S WIFE Pastors Pay Brief Tribute to Character of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson at East Room Service. WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 10 The gentle and tender simplicity which ran like a silver thread through her character, was a dominant note at the last rites for Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, held in the East room of the White House today. Only her kinsfolk and a chosen few of the closest friends and officials of Washington, in addition to delegates from the senate and house of representatives, were present at the ceremony. Massed with flowers, the bier was placed at the North end of the East room, and near by the President, his three daughters, and the relatives were gathered. With bowed heads they heard a chapter from the scriptures and a prayer delivered by a pastor who has shared their intimate family Joys and sorrows. Tomorrow the body will be laid in its final resting place in Rome, Go., the childhood home of Mrs. Wilson and where her father and mother are buried.

The pallbearers were the old policemen who. have served at the white house for many years and whose friendship Mrs. Wilson had won. There were no honorary pallbearers. The nation added a fitting tribute to the memory of Mrs. Wilson. The halls of congress were silent and all the government departments closed at 1 o'clock as a mark of respect to the dead.

REFUSE TO ALLOW USE OHRISOIIERS County Commissioners Show Works Board Way to Get Weeds Cut.

Contrary to the expectations of the board of public works, the board of county commissioners late Saturday decided that Richmond is not entitled to the use of prisoners in cutting the weeds on the vacant lots of the city. The commissioners hold that property owners are supposed to have enough civic pride to cut the weeds but admit this condition does not exist. For this, however, laws have been enacted, they point out. The city may order and is supposed to order the cutting of weeds. The expense should be charged against the property on taxes, according to law. The city may use prisoners however, to cut weeds on property belonging to the municipality. So little property does the city own, this could be accomplished by a few prisoners in half a day. The board of works members believed, that by representing Richmond as being a part of Wayne county, they could make free use of the prisoners in weed cutting. GERMAN AUTHORITIES ARREST AMERICANS BY LEASED WIRE. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. Confirmation of the arrest and imprisonment of Archer M. Huntington, president of The Geographic Society, and his wife, by German authorities, reached the state department today, through Ambassador Herrick, at Paris. Herrick cabled as follows: "Have learned through Huntington's chauffeur that Huntington and wife have been arrested and confined in the Grand Hotel at Nuremburg. Have telegraphed to Berlin by way of Rome, to secure their release." No further word has reached the state department concerning the Huntingtons. Secretary Bryan stated that he hoped soon to receive notice of their release. SEE GERMAN AEROPLANES. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 10. A number of German aeroplanes were sighted today flying in the direction of Kovno. At many German villages, on the frontier the regular troops are being replaced by cavalry, and Infantry of the Landwehr. This indicates that Germany will withhold its campaign against Russia until it has settled with France.
