BOGUS CHECK PISSES
USESFIfIE ESMPE
Samuel E. King, Wanted in
Memphis. Makes Sensation
al Getaway in Taxicab
CHICAGO. May 12.-While in the cus
tody of a deputy sheriff irj the Auditori
um hotel here tonight. Samuel E. King,
a broker, wanted tn Memphis for pairing
bogus checks, eluded his captors, climbed
down a fire escape, jumped from the
first floor to the street and made his
escape.
King's escape from the Auditorium ho
tel was sensational. He was walking in
the corridor on the fifth floor with Chief
Deiwty Sheriff A. S. Benners, of Mem
phis. in whose custody he had been pa
roled to come to Chicago and close up
some business matters before beginning
a prison term in Memphis. King toid the
deputy sheriff that he wanted to return
to his room for a moment and get a
handkerchief. Instead of entering the
room he dodged down a hallway and
climbing down a Are escape to the first
floor, where it ended, jumped to the
sidewalk. Hailing a passing taxicab, the
broker entered ft. hurrying away from
the scene. ,
After waiting several minutes in the
corridor. Deputy Sheriff Benners return
ed to the room and found it empty. An
alarm was sounded through the hotel and
bell boys and other attendants were sent
in search of King, even the guests in
etening clothes joining in the exciting
search.
The search in the hotel (Proving futile,
the cab drivers at the curb were ques
tioned and it was learned that a man
answering King's description got away in
the taxicab. The Chicago police were
then appealed to. but up to a late hour
had found no trace of the fugitive. Tele
grams were sent to Windsor, Ont., where
King formerly lived, the police believing
he will return there.
According to Benners, King is undsr
penitentiary sentence at Memphis, where
recently he was convicted of passing
worthless chocks.
On his plea that he had some very im
portant business to close up In Chicago.
King was allowed to come here under
parole in custody of the deputy sheriff.
“I did not think he would attempt to
escape.” said Beners. ’’and I thought
there was no danger in letting him go
alone to get the handkerchief, as there
was no fire escape from our room."

GEORGIA GETS LION'S SHARE
OF FEDERAL PATRONAGE
Is Given More in Washington Than Any Other Democratic
State in the Union —Only Fourteen States Have Any More.
Tribute to Senators and Representatives
BY RALPH SMITH.
Washington, d. c.. May n.-The
state of Georgia enjoys more federal
patronage in the city of Washington than
any other Democratic state or territory
in {he union. Indeed, there are only 14
states that have more patronage in the
government departments in Washington
Lian Georgia, and not one of them is
completely Democratic in its national pol
itics. .
Georgia has more patronage in Wash
ington than any of the following states,
aj’ of which are wholly, or in part, in
political sympathy with the dominant
party: Maine. New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island. Connecticut, Wisconsin.
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da
kota, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana, Wy
on'ing, Oregon and Washington.
The states that outiank Georgia in
the matter of federal patrqnage in Wash
ingtpn are: New York, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana,
Missouri, Michigan, Kentucky, North
Carolina, Tennessee and District of Co
lumbia.
Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee have
been out of the solid Democratic columns
for several years. The first two have vo
ted for a Republican president, have elec
ted several Republican congressmen and
each now has a Republican senator and
a Republican governor. Tennesese has
two Republican congressmen, and North
Carolina has three Republican congress
men.
GEORGIANS BETTER COMPENSATED.
Even more interesting than the pro
pt rtionately large number of Georgians
in the government departments in Wash
ington is the fact that they are com
pensated better by the government for
their service than the usual government
clerk.
According to the official register, other
wise and commonly known as the blue
book, there arc 377 Georgians in the va
rious departments and bureaus of gov
ernment in Washington, and their total
compensation amounts to $145,009 per an
num—not such a poor record for a con
sistently Democratic state. Indeed, it
would seem that Georgia is reaping some
of the spoils that other states might
claim, as a reward for political consist
ency. . . j
When one considers that Virginia and
Maryland and the District of Columbia
outrank Georgia in the number of em
ployes. one should stop to consider, also,
the geographical location of these places,
Vltglnia and Maryland are right at Wash
ington's door, and the District of <■ olum
bia is itself the seat of government. It
is perfectly natural that these states
should have an unusual number of citi
zens employed in the department-natu
ral. despite the fact that both of them
have Republican representatives in con-
g Employed in the departments andl hu
rt aus. exclusive of outside laborers, there
are 30.765, government clerks in M ashing
ten. Their aggregate compensation is
$33,993,173 per annum. The average com
pensation iS $1,104.80.
The average compensation of the Geor
gia clerks is $1,180.50 per annum.
A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION.
The fact that Georgia is so well repre
sented. so much better represented, in
fact, than many states, finds explanation
in the influence and activity of her sena
tors and representatives in congress.
Both' of the Georgia senators have been
in congress long enough to thoroughly
establish themselves and, moreover, to

HOKE SMITH'S APPOINTMENTS.
There are more Georgians emnloyed in

in Washington, and this fact is attri
buted to Gov. Hoke Smith's incumbency

' Os course, there is nothing like as many
Georgians in this department as there
was 14 years ago when Governor Smith
' was at its head. Moreover, it appears

ment are better compensated, on the
average, than the Georgians employed

ELOQUENT SERMON
BY DR. PICKARD
BY ALEX W. BEALER.'
BALTIMORE, Md., May 11.—Dr. W. L.
Pickard, pastor of the First Baptist
church at Savannah, scored a brilliant
success before the convention last night
in preaching the convention sermon. A
splendid opportunity was presented to
him and he took advantage of it. When
he rose to speak a magnificent congrega
tion of 4,060 people and more was be
fore him. His text was taken from the
17th chapter of Matthews and second
verse: "And was transfigured before
them.” He announced his subject to be
"The Transfigured and Transfiguring
Christ." It was a sermon couched in
chaste language and delivered In a very
impressive manner. In bursts of passion
he swept his hearers before him as he
preached the simple gospel of salvation
through faith in the blood of the lamb
for sinners slain. There was no word of
apology from first to last and many
hearty amens were shouted forth by the
brethren.. It wag one of the most power
ful sermons ever preached before to con
vention. At Its conclusion the brethren
as one great voice sung "All Hail the
Power of Jesus’ Name,'’
Preceding the sermon, the report of the
committee on the laymen’s movement
' was read by <L T. Henderson, secretary
lof the movement among the Baptists.
The chief problem was to reach and de
velop the 10,000 churches in the south
who give nothing and to Induce the glvera
to be more liberal and more systematic.
Mission study classes and mission mass
meetings were recommended. The pas
tors were urged to preach the duty of
tithing as the least a Christian should
give, to urge their members to give as
much for missions as they give for the
support of ■ the local church, to urge
weekly contributions and to have every
member seen and asked for a contribu
tion.
QLIVER WAS SLEEPING
AT CRUCIAL MOMENT
"I ain’t..no vagrant, boss. Me and
three- other Tittle niggers, what the po
lice didrt’t ketch, just' stayed up all
hight to see the big Star, what every
body is talking about/-
Thus spqke Thomas. Oliver Sudemeyer,
aged 12 years, of 66- AVernon piace, who
was arraigned tn the recorder's court
Thursday morning for being on the
street at 5 a. m.
"You mean you stayed up to see the
comet?” questioned Judge Broyles. ■
"Yessir, yessier, dat's it," was the
quick response from the little negro,
wh.Qse h.ead scarcely reached tne top of
the recorder’s desk.
’'Well, Thomas Oliver,-did you see the
comet?”' asked the juuge.
•’No, boss, I didn't,” was the answer.
"Me. and the other little niggers crawled
up on a white man s porch and drapped
off to sleep. Then we forgot to wage
up until we heard the polices coming up
.the' walk. \ . ■
"Those other niggar noys woke _ UP
fust, uno all left fore the. polices could
ketch 'em, but dey got me."
Judge Broyles not liking to stem the
ardor of the youthful astronomer, dis
missed the case against Thomas Oliver,
instructing tiim to have police head
quarters notified the next time he start
ed off to see the celestial wanderer, so
that he would not be arrested again.

FAMILY FOOD
Crisp, Toothsome and Re
quires No Cooking
A little boy down in N. C. asked his
mother to write an account of how
Grape-Nuts food had helped their family.
She savs Grape-Nuts was first brought
to her attention in Charlotte, where she
visited.
“While I was there I used the food
regularly. I gained about 15 pounds and
felt so well that when I returned home
I began using Grape-Nuts in the family
regularly.
“My little 18-months-old baby shortly
after being weaned was very ill with
dvspepsia and teething. She was sick
nine weeks and we tried everything.
She became so emaciated that it was
painful to handle her and we thought we
were going to lose her. One day a happy
thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts
soaked in a little warm milk.
"Well, it worked like a charm and she
began taking it regularly and improve
ment set in at once. She is now getting
well and round and fat as fast as possi
ble and on Grape-Nuts.
“Some time aero several of the family
were stricken with La Grippe at the same
time, and during the worst stages we
could not relish anything in the shape of
food but Grape-Nuts and oranges, every
thing else nauseating us.
“We all appreciate what your famous
food has done for our family.”

POLISH HERBES HBNDRED
Bi BEOIBITION Os SHAFTS
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 12.—Two monu
ments to the memory and deeds of Pu
laski and Kosciusko. the Polish he
roes, both of whom fought and one of
whom dted that liberty in Ameriea’might
live, were dedicated here today. The time
of the delications was so arranged that
President Taft could attend each.
The monument to Pulaski was erected
by an act of congress, but the statue
to Kosciusko is a gift to the nation
from the Polish National alliance and
other organizations of Poles who have
made their homes in. the free republic
for which their distinguished country
men fought. There was a double signifi
cance to the unveiling of the monument
to Kosciusko, for it marked the open
ing here tomorrow of the first Polish na
tional congress to attend which thousands
of Poles from all over the United States
have come.
DISCUSS NATION.
The purpose of the congress is to dis
cuss In all its phases the condition of
the Polish nation, to acquire familiarity
with the needs of the Polish national
life and find ways and means of fulfill
ing them. ’
The ceremonies which preceded the
dedication of the statues were long plan
ned and very elaborate. A military pa
rade in which all the regular troops sta
tioned at Fort Myer as well ga the na
tional guard of the District of Columbia
marched, was one of the features.
Brig. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, U. S. A., was
in command. •
In the heart of the busier section of the
city the monument to Pulaski stands 14
feet from the sidewalk in a triangular
green. In the saddle of a charger is moun
ted the figure of the hero in the Polish
Hussar uniform in which he won com
mand of a brigade of Washington's cav
alry for his gallant conduct at the Bran
dywine.
ALWAYS WORE UNIFORM.
Pulaski always wore the uniform of his
beloved fatherland, and it clothed his
breast through three years of valiant
fighting on American soil until he fell
at the siege of Savannah in 1779, and died
on the United States brig of war Wasp
in Jhe harbor, two days after.
The sculptor, Chedzlnski. gathered ma
terial for his work in Paris, Berlin and
parts of Poland, and secured from the
descendants of Pulaski a lifesize paint
ing of the hero mounted on a horse, done
by Pulaski's sister.
In Lafayette park, a beautiful shaded
square across Pennsylvania avenue from
the White House, the monument to
Kosciusko, with the exception of one.
completes the set of five planned there.
The others are to General Lafayette and
Count Rochambeau. who commanded the
French allies at Yorktown. On the re
maining corner will be erected the statue
of Baron Von Steuben. An immense stat
ue of Gen. Andrew Jackson is in the
center of the park.

Senator Depew Praises
King Edward, His Friend
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., May 9.-Sen
ator Chauncey M. Depew, who knew
King Edward VII well when the late
king was prince of Wales, has given out
at a hotel here an Interview of eulogy
he says:
“King Edward would have made a
great American had his lot been cast
with this country instead of being born
to the English throne. More than a
king, a great factor for peace and good
will among nations has passed away. I
would compare his death with the tragic
death of McKinley.
"To my mind. King Edward was even
a greater statesman than Gladstone. I
believe King Edward VII was more of
a factor than The Hague tribunal or
other peace movements in maintaining
the peace of the world in the last few
years. By dissipating jealousies and
heridltary enmity and bringing about
cordial relations with France. I believe
he has been a practical savior of that re
public."

Since the visit of comet A. 1910, Ham
