Rather than waken him, his people left the little fellow asleep and filed through the President's office with the scores of other callers, leaving the little chap alone for a time in the lobby. He missed the President's hand- shake, but he had a wonderful sleep. JEALOUS WIFE TIPS POLICE HERE THAT HUSBAND IS ALLEGED SLAYER Walhalla, Oconee county, 8. C., for alleged murder. A few minut after the police heard from Mrs. Strickland that her husband was wanted the latter returned home and was arrested. The prisoner denied that he was wanted in Walhalla. He was held in _custody, however, and Sheriff W. M. Alexander of Oconee county was asked for in- ation about him. afternoon he wired that Strickland was wanted, hav- ing received a photograph of him from Lieut.

Aware of the fact that the charges preferred against him of illegal po: Bession and transportating liquor | could not be elaborated on, Foley talked freely to the police. He said he had handled more than 1,000 bot- tles of liguor last week, and that it was nothMg unusual for him to do a $25,000 business every few days.
