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 st Sandy Hook at midnight. 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 In announcing that he would "follow the crowd:" “Has there been a deal7” 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 end Iron Company wan confirmed. This was hie first appearance In the finan cial district In three months, and he wa* warmly greeted. BANK OF ENGLAND RAISES DISCOUNT I-ondon, Nov. 7.—The Bank of Eng land this morning raised the discount r«te from * to 7 per cent. It la realised that even this high rate n;ey not prevent shipments of gold to New York, but It Is hoped that It may sttrect. the metal from abroad In sutn- <lent quantities to restore the squtllb- r ‘um. The step was doubly neceasary, *• the benk must nurse Its supplies. Says Corporations Defy Will of People of Alabama. Montgomery, Ala. Nov. 7.—Governor Comer today sent Ills message to the legislature, called In extraordinary see. alon. In discussing the railroad situa tion, the governor says: “It Is evident that the question at Issue Is not so much freight rates or passenger rates, but whether or not the Mote Him 11 .loi n I mi t •• and control Its own affairs by limiting the rules and charges of the public service corpora tions. or whether the railroads shall be at liberty to deny your right to regu late, within the state, and to Ignore your laws and regulations and every attempt on the part of the state to con trol them or limit their charges. This proposition 1 consider so vital that, follolwlng the advice of counsel, the at. torney general and tho counsel em ployed by the state to assist the at torney general In the presentation of the cause, I recommend and advise the passage of certain bills which the state's attorneys have drawn, for the purpose of strengthening the state's position to aid In settling whether or not the people of Alabama have the right to dominate their Intrastate af fairs and make laws regulating them. You, of course, will understand that the railroad Interest will bo opposed to these acts, and the question will be squarely before you.

THEY COULDN’T PRY HIM UP PETER LYNCH’S PLACE A DELICATESSEN STORE Since the announcement by Bishop C. K. Nelson that he will remain In At lanta and prealda over the northern dloceae of Georgia, considerable specu lation la being Indulged In as to who will be elected bishop of the southern diocese or diocese of Georgia, aa It will be called. This new bishop will be elected by the diocese and It may not be done until May next, when the annual meeting will be held. It is possible, however, that a meeting will be called berore that time, at which the election will be held. Of course the result of this election la considerably In doubt, and no one In 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 op. It will be necessary for the diocese to select some officers who reside In the northern diocese. Other than this, the southern le al ready organised.

Corn liquor will give place to hot chocolate and the festive pretsel will be replaced by doughnuts, and the old- timers who have frequented Peter Lyneh'a place for more years than many grown-up Atlantans can recount must find another tendexvous. For Pe ter’s place has been leased for a dell catesscn store and after New Year’s It will be but a memory. The block In Whitehall will be “dry" from end to end. Dlonchl Tamoso will be the new proprietor. The two names show one of the changes of the years—from Lynch to Tamoeo. No true Lynch would sell anything aofter than the juice of the com. but the Lynches and the Rulllvans and the rest are giving place In the small (fade line to the Tamnaos and C'unatantanls and all the others from sunny Italy and wave- kissed Greece.

About the middle of January a new kind of delicatessen establishment will be opened In the building so long occupied by the unique little liquor store. Peter Lynch’s "store," as the old resi dents call It. has successfully defied time, but has twice succumbed to the law. and this third time It will be for good. Had It not been for the desire of law makers to change tilings, Peter Lynch's place would present Just the same ap pearance now as when Peter Lynch first threw open the doors in 1867 to a small Atlanta population that bought a varied assortment of good*—family Bibles.

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* lover* of us all. ng the found *Jd Mr. Jones.
