New York. N’ov. 7.—A wireless mes
sage received here'today says the Lusi
tania . Is breaking her record from
Queenstown to New York, being esti
mated two and one-half hours ahead of
her best previous time.
The Lusitania Is hurrying to New
York with 110.000,000 In gold for the
relief of the financial situation In this
city., She left Queenstown at 11:10
o’clock $unday morning and U expected

8o strong Is the feeling among the
New York bankers that the money
scare Is ended that today the group of
bankers who have been protecting the
weak spots here turned their attention
to the West.
The Chase National and the First
National Banks started shipments of
money to towns along the lines of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroads. From now on they will ship
dally from 126,000 to 260,000 and other
banka will join In the relief movement
today and tomorrow.. > *
These shipments of money were the
reault of a conference between James J.
Hill and.the ofllcera of the Chase Na
tlonal Bank. Mr. Hill was told that the
banka here would do all In their power
to more crops and get corcale from the
Northwest and move them to the At
lantic seaboard. Superintendent of the
State Banking Department Clark Wil
liams Had several conferences with the
offleere . of the suspended banks and
trust companies.
Three of four are In’a position to re
open at any time. Mr. Williams said
the situation was very promising. The
directors of the Lincoln Trust Company
had a protracted meeting to make plane
lo obtain new buslnese. President
Frank Tllford will Issue* a statement to
the public today.
The United States Steel Corporation
has takan over the Tennessee Coal and
Iron stock that was wrenched from the
Trust Company of America and that
company and the Lincoln Trust Com
pany have been eupplled with enough
money to meet any demand! that may
be made upon them. The only open
objector to the surrender of the etock
Is John W. Gates, who pertinently said

Another 22.000,000 In gold, packed In
fifty-eight boxes, reached New York
today on the White Star liner, Teuton
ic. This makes a total of 319.0u0,000 In
the last two days. Guarded by a score
of secret service agents and govem-
megt officials, the Iron-bound boxes
were taken from the liner and carted
away.
H. H. Rogers attended the meeting
"f the Steel Trust directors at which
the purchase of the Tennessee Coal

was hie first appearance In the finan

that time, at which the election will be
held.
Of course the result of this election

the church could be found who would
express an opinion an to the probable
selection. Thla rests solely with the dlo.
cese and any Episcopal priests either
In the diocese or In the country may be
elected bishop. If that la not done, the
diocese may decide upon a missionary
bishop and hare him transferred to tho
diocese of Georgia.
The election of the bishop by the
diocese le subject, however, to the con
firmation by a majority of the blshopa
of the dioceses of the United States
and of the standing committees.
In addition to the election of a bish

to select some officers who reside In the
northern diocese.
Other than this, the southern le al

At the meeting of the northern dio
cese, which has been called by Bishop
Nelson to be held In Macon on Decem

cese will take place and It will then be
decided what name shall be applied to
the northern diocese and what title
Bishop Nelson shall assume. It Is en
tirely with the diocese what this title
shall be.

CUPID INTERRUPTS TOUR
OF PRETTY SECRETARY;
MISS KATE FULLER WEDS
Pintles and frown* are chasing each
other over the usually placid counte
nance of Dr. Len O.. Broughton and, of
course, thereby, hangs a tale—one of
thoee adventures of love that develop
every now end then a* evidence of the
strange ways In which Cupid some
times doe* hi* -work.
Mis* Kate Fuller, an attractive young
womltn from College Park, wa* .en
gaged by Dr. Broughton some time ago
bm secretary and treasurer of the Tab
ernacle Infirmary.
Miss Fular worked constantly and
intelligent lyfj and toon became almoat
Indispensable to that Institution. Dr.
Broughton decided that It would be ad
vantageous to, (Re Infirmary to have
MJas Fuller, learn the details of the
clerical work a* they are looked after
In the great Infirmaries over the coun
try.
Accordingly.' he arranged a trip of
several weeks for her. Including visits
New York. Philadelphia, Chicago
and Baltimore. Rhe left and was to
have returned next Tuesday. Wednea.
day Dr. Broughton received a postal
from Mtsa Fuller announcing that she
was on her way home.
Thursday morning bright and early
she was back In Atlanta. Tbese may
not be the very word*, but they are
substantially the ones that were used
In the conversation between Mlae Ful
ler anti the pastor of the Baptist Tab
ernacle:
How did you manage to get back oo
early?"
"Oh. I—don't—know.”
"Old you go to New York 7"
"Y-y-yes."
"I suppose you went to Philadel
phia 7"
"N-n-no.”
"How were the Infirmaries In Baltl
more 7”
"I didn't go. there, either."
"Well, where did you go7"
"Why, l-l-I-went to New-New York
and-and-and got married!”
Explanations, of course, were In or
dor, and they came between blushes
and smiles and little' hesitating gasps.
'George Whitman and Mtss Fuller,
when child playmates In Atlanta, were
sweethearts. As It so often the case,
they soon parted to go their separate
ways. Mr. Whitman graduated at the
University of Georgia, then went to
Yale. He graduated there In lew last
June, and settled in New York.
He engaged in the practice of law
with a partner und soon the firm at
tained considerable prominence. Miss
Fuller. In the meantime, accepted the
posltlon'wlth the Infirmary,
Miss Fuller left Atlanta to take this
trip, and It was by accident that she
met Mr. Whitman In New York. The
flames of the old love of childhood had
flickered perhaps, but had never died
out. It required only a day or two of
companionship for thla lov* to blase
out sue* and -Illi warmth.
Last Saturday night they were mar
ried.
-I have come bark,” explained Mias
Fuller (beg pardon. Mrs. Whitman)
"to straighten out all the books of the
Infirmary and then George Is coming
back after me."
And Dr. Broughton frowned at the
thought of toeing hie assistant—and
smiled at the trick of fate and the
prank of Cupid, the like of which mak*
