Norfolk Youngsters Find Expenses

The A. K. Athk'tle flub , which has
.had its h : ri < lourtors ; In the OInoy
building for the past few months , has

In the rooms of the defunct club dur
ing the past few months and it was
the premier idea of the leaders to
have several classes in good form for
the opening of the Y. M. C. A. gymnas
ium. There was a wrestling mat , a
punching bug , plenty of boxing gloves
and ilmskctball. Athletic sports of
all kinds -were Indulged in. The
wrestling has been a feature ofthe
evenings and some exciting maiUJhe.s
have been pulled off.
NUMBER WAS CHANGED.
Officers Get Wrong Hunch On SpeedIng -
Ing Automobile.
It may surprise Patrloman Living
ston that the owner of an automobile
for which lie has been searching , be
cause lie thought the owner was ex
ceeding the speed limit , has just
learned that he has been wanted and
believes he unintentionally played a
joke on the police. The automobile
came up Norfolk avenue at fast clip
and stopped in front of a business
building. The officer soon followed
and with much effort found a number
on the machine which he recorded in
his book. For several hours the pa
tient officer waited around in a con
spicuous place for the owner to re
appear. Suddenly the much-looked
for man came but the crank was used
Quickly and before the officer could
icach him the car was gone. The
same car stopped at the same place
yesterday , but the number did not tal
ly with that in the officer's book.
"I lomid that old number on my
way from Stanton and put it on my
car for a joke. I took it off when I
came homo and put my own number
on the car , " says the owner.

ANOTHER SLAP AT UNCLE SAM.
Colombia Issues Statement Saying
Knox Was Not Invited.
Washington , March S. A new twist
was given the tangle over Secrotnrj
itnox's visit to Colombia by the IH-
sunaee of a statement by Roberto Mac-
Duall , charge d'affaires of the Colom
bian legation , stating that Societar >
ICnox had not been invited to Colon ,
lila. The statement reads :
"Tho charge d'affaires of the Co-
ionihtan legation said that he was au
thorized by his governmtnt to staff-
that Secretary Knox had not been iu-
vlted to Colombia. "
Beyond this categorical declaration
no explanation was forthcoming from
Mr. .MaeDuall. The Interpretation
liowever , which was generally attach
ed to it was that while the Colom
lilim government had earlier made it
clear that Secretary Knox would IH
welcomed If he desired to visit Co
lombia , no actual invitation for him
to do so had proceeded from tin
Colombian government.
