I ‘J THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 1913. SMUGGLERS OF GOWNS ROB 0. S. OF MILLIONS Three Arrests Have Already Been Made at the Port of Boston (By Associated Press.) BOSTON, March 29.—Operations of smugglers of women’s gowns at this ♦port as a result of which three ar rests already have been made, have . defrauded the government of several million dollars in the past five years. This definite statement made by a lo cal customs officer today is official con firmation of reports that a widespread conspiracy ^existed within the customs office. • All the firs which profited by the evasion of import duties are located in New York city, it was s^id. Their number is uncertain! but may be as many as eight or nine. The investigation here and in New York will result, it is expected, in the arrest of most of the persons involved. The greater number of these are mem bers of or buyers for dressmaking firms in New York, though one or two members of the local customs staff in addition to Terence L. Shevlin, who with his wife is already accused, are under suspicion. Another arrest prob ably will be made her£ soon. The cus tom officials .have known for a year that frauds were being perepetrated here. Some time ago an inspector, Her mann W. Kuchmeister, was placed on guard at the docks with instructions to devote his time exclusively to watching the arrivals of dressmakers and their agents for evidence of sleeper trunks operations. It was Kuchmeister who uncovered the actual • evidence of smuggling. * The arrival here of Secretary Mc- Adoo, of the treasury, who, according to advices from Washington, is spend ing the week-end in “buying” from office seekers, was looked for today. Chief Wilkie, ojf the United States treasury agents, continued his activities, and was in conference several hours with Edwin U. Curtis, collector of the port of Boston. ROlOSlPFRlTFllN IN OHIO ID INDIANA Conditions Rapidly Improvingi Government Supplies Are Moved Toward Dayton PHILADELPHIA, March 29.—Reports received today at the general offices of the Pennsylvania Railroad company from the flood districts show that con ditions are continuing to rapidly im prove nearly all over the system. From the headquarters of the western lines at Pittsburg reports are to the effect that many branch lines that had been flooded are being placed in operation today in Ohio and Indiana. Where there are bad stretches of track de tours are being made over other lines. In western New York, in the vicinity of Buffalo and Rochester improvement ''is also shown. On the Rochester branch it will require twenty-four hours after the water recedes to put the tracks in condition. In western Pennsylvania 1 . conditions are reported to be “good.” The rapidity with which traffic is being resumed indicates, according to railroad officials, that the financial loss on account of the floods is no*t as great as had been anticipated. The Pennsylvania is today moving 360,000 pounds of government supplies from the Brooklyn riavy yard for Day- ton. Two trains are on the way and two others are being loaded at Brook lyn. f Because of the condition of telephone and telegraph lines only meager pri vate advices have been received in this city by corporations that operate elec tric railways. in Ohio and Indiana. The financial losses, according to those in terested, do not appear to be as great as was feared. Commits' Suicide When Arrested for Shortage of $5.50 (By Associated Press.) NAS&VILLE, Tenn., March 29.— Arrested here tonight’on a state’s war rant sworn out by a local furniture company, charging the misappropriation of $5,50* Albert Carroll, aged 22, the moment the door of the police station slammed behind him, swallowed a quan tity of poison, from which he died three minutes after being rushed to the city hospital. Carroll had been employed by the furniture company as a collector and claimed that he had used the firm’s money to fight divorce proceedings re cently instituted by his pretty young wife. FLY TO PIECES The Effect of Coffee on High ly Organized People . “I have been a coffee user for years, and about two years ago got Into a very serious condition of dyspepsia and in digestion. It seemed to me I would, fly to pieces. .1 was so nervous that at the least noise I was distressed, and many times could not straighten myself up because of the pain.” Tea is just as injurious, because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee. “My physician told me I must not eat any heavy or strong food and ordered a diet, giving me some medicine. I fol lowed directions carefully, but kept on using coffee and did not get any better. ' “Last winter my husband, who was away on business, had Postum served to him in the family where he boarded. He liked it so well that when he came home he brought some with him. We began using % it and I found it most excellent. “While I drank it my stomach never bothered me in th£ least, and I got over my nervous t troubles. When the Postum was gone we returned to cof fee, then my stomach began to hurt me as before and the nervous conditions came on again. “That showed me exactly what was the cause of the whole trouble, sp I quit dflnking coffee. altogether and kept on using Postum. The old troubles left again and have never returned.” • “There’s a reason,” and it is explained in the little hook, “The Road to Well- ville,” in' pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human inter- Declares Tariff Revision Bill, Including Free Sugar, Will Be Passed and Authorize An Income Tax • t Just before leaving Atlanta Satur day on his return to Washington, Sen ator Hoke Smith talked interestingly of t)ie important legislation which the democratic administration had mapped out. He gave it as his opinion that at the extra session, beginning April 7, congress would pass the tariff revision bill, including a free sugar bill; that it would enact an income tax bill, and that tentative measures looking to a reform of the cohntry’s banking and currency system would be introduced. Of particular interest to the fanmers of.* Georgia and the south was the statement of Senator Smith that he had no doubt the taxes would be taken off agricultural implements, ties, bag ging and wire fencing. “It is impossible for me to make any accurate estimate as to how long the extra session will last,” said Senator Smith. The first measures and the chief measure which will certainly be considered will be a tariff bill, the purpose of which will be to reduce the present tariff taxes in conformity with the democratic platform. The Demo crats on the finance committee of the senate will cordially co-operate with the Democrats on the ways and means committee of the house to help per fect a bill which will pass both houses. WILL PASS INCOME TAX BILL. “In connection with the tariff, an income tax bill will be passfed at the extra session, and the great wealth of the country will, through it, bear, as never heretofore, its just propor tion of the burdens of the govern ment.” Senator Smith stated that when he left Washington a week ago it had not been determined whether the actual .leg- Hati* of the special session would be limited to the tariff. “There is,” said he, strong sentiment to perfect, if possible, a banking and currency bill. This, however; is a subject- about which there is so much dispute, it is difficult to reach a measure on which action can be had. That it will be considered at the extra session and that tentative measures will be presented for general iticism, I feel sure. I realize that it is- absolutely essential to legislate upon this subject, and if we do not' accom plish anything during the extra session, it will be the great work of the regular session next winter, the tentative work of the special session being left for, fur ther study during the vacation, and -for action when congress meets in Decem ber.” H , NEW MARKET BUREAU. Of especial interest to Senator Smith il the market division of the department of agriculture, created by the congress just closed. It is his purpose at the special session to introduce bills de signed to enlarge and perfect the work of the market division. Discussing this new feature of the government, Senator S ith said: “I expect the work of the market di- visio to prove a ^reat benefit to the peopie of the entir country. It has been estimated by one of the closest stu dents of this subject that better modes of selling should increase the average net profit of each farmer family in the Unite l States two hundred dollar^ a year, while better modes of buying should lessen the average cost of liv ing of each farmer family two hundred doll -.rs a year. “Of course,' I do not look for such a result to immediately follow, but in a few years I know that the intelligent study by the government of better modes of selling, with Lie information carried to the farmers of the country, must necessarily largely increase the profits to the farmer; while, at the same time, it will not increase the cost of living to the consumer. '“The waste which now takes place between producer and consumer can hardly b^ realized. The former secre tary of agricultqre recently stated ior what, the farmer gets fifty cents, the .consumer pays a dollar.’ What becomes of this fifty cents increase to .the con sumer? The railroads say they only get a small part of it; the middle men r ay theyjpnly get a small part.of it. It is conceded that a large part of it. is wasted by bad modes of selling and ’ ad 19c.es of buying. It is this loss that intelligent investigation with knowledge gathered and applied both to selling and buying should bring to a stop.” AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION BILL. Senator Smith will introduce again, at the special session, his bill for agricul tural extension work. This bill is de signed to enable the state colleges of ag riculture to carry to the farmers all the knowledge that has been gathered at both agricultural colleges and experi ment stations. It passed the house at the last session but was defeated in the senate by an almost party vote. Senator Smith'is confident 'that the new senate will promptly pass the measure. As chairman of the committee on edu cation and labor Senator Smith will use his influence in favor of vocational edu cation. “It is my purpose,” said he, “to seek to interest the national govern ment to stimulate more proficient train ing throughout the different states in the varied avocations to which our peo ple apply themselves for the purpose of earning livelihoods. It was my interest in this measure which in part led me to take the chairmanship of the-committee on education and labor.” Commenting upon ftis opposition to the pension bill introduced at 'the last ses sion Senator Smith said: “I have op posed the extravagant pensions beoause I believed it far. better if the money was to be spent to use it to help pre pare .the child and the man for the work of life, to enable both to become strong and self-reliant.” “The great purpose of the present Democratic administration,” declared Senator Smith, “will be service to the masses of the people. There' will £e no hold upon the president or congress by special interests. To the extent of their wisdom they will seek to do those things which will broaden the oppor tunity of the average man and stimu late him to better use the opportunity which he may have.” SWIMS MANY STREAMS AND DODGES PURSUERS (By Associated Press.) RALEIGH, N. C., March 29.—Noell Massengill, the escaped convict, who killed Deputy Strickland and severely wounded Deputy Charles Stanley Thurs day night, when they were attempting to arrest him near Smithfleld, dodged his pursuers today by swimming creeks and wading smaller streams.

Thrilling Tales of Rescue And Horrible Suffering Is Hold By Flood's Survivors Mayor Phillips and Family Marooned 60 Hours in House Attip—Many Clung to Tele graph Poles for Two Days While Boats Passed Offer ing Rescue for $25 Per Head (By Associated Press.) DAYTON, O., March 29.—Mayor Ed ward Phillips, who was reported drown ed, with his family was marooned more than 60 hours in tiis home on Mount street. He Was rescued by boats. “The water caught us early Tuesday morning” Mayor Phillips said. “During Tuesday the water was 14 feet deep around the house and that night 1 chopped a hole through the ceiling of a second floor room and we spent the night in a little attic. . “The big west side fire was just two blocks from us v and when the wind began to carry burning embers in our direction it looked serious. I watched the roof nearly all night. Late Thurs day afternoon my wire, daughter, son and myself were takefl out by boats.” ON TELEGRAPH POLE 36 HOURS. How five people clung for thirty-six hours on a telegraph pole where they had climbed from a moving wagon, how a physician, his four-year-old boy and a negro woman servant were jammed up against a building and saved only by the swift current which kept their disabled boat clinging to the wall, and how scores of other persons were sav ed was revealed today when free com- muncation was establisned with rescu ers who had worked in the flooded dis trict ever since the water poured in last Tuesday before daylight. “I was patrolling the water’s edge for tires a few hours after the levee broke when I heard cries for help down a street where the water was fifteen feet deep,” said William Carver, captain of an engine company.

The horses were drowned and the van was atfout to tum ble over when the man and women suc ceeded in cliffibing up the pole. All that day they clung there in freezing rain and sleet. Each of them took turns, crying for help. Not until the next "day did boats reach them. “Crossing the flood to get to the buildings where people were marooned we founu the water rushing down Bro. dway and Mount streets with such force it was impossible to get across except by drifting down stream and managing to navigate die boat across while drifting. Tuesday night I found Lr. D. A. Allaman, his son and a ne- gress c. nging to a wall at Broadway and the Panhandle railroad tracks. They had attempted to row across th* street, but their boat hit a telegraph pole and was split in two. We got them away in boats. “Vh£n fire broke out at Broadway and iviound, I saw one man in a boat row. around in circles and while the people in he upper floors of opposite buildings were screaming for help, this ma. was yelling, ‘Twenty-five dollars a head if you want to be saved; twenty- five dollars a head.’ Somebody came aloi in another boat and threw this man into the water. His boat was then used to save others.” John Kirby, Jr., president of the National Association of Manufacturers, and his family, who were marooned in their home since Tuesday morning, wer- able ^ reach the relief station at the Cash Register office yesterday aft ernoon. The water rose 11 feet in the Xirby home, but the members of the f ;nily were not injured.

SURGEON GENERAL BLUE ARRIVES IN DAYTON Floating Barrel of Cabbage Saves Marooned Operators, Citizen in Business Section (By Associated Press.) DAYTON, Ohio, March 29.—Surgeon General Rupert Blue, of the United States public health service, arrived here this afternoon. Citizens of Day- ton swarmed' over the business sec tion for the first time since Tuesday morning, 'when the flood rushed over the town. The military announced trat those who would dare the mud and occasional patches of water in the hol lows might cross the bridges from other parts of the city without obtain ing official permission. In the Beckel house, which was at first supposed to have burned with heavy loss of life, the water never reached the second floor. The lobby, however, like every other building in the flooded district, was inches* deep with mud. Nine We^lern Union operators were marooned in their office for 48 hours. They subsisted on a Parrel of cabbage which floated down the alley at the side of the building. Another refugee in this place was a horse, which stood in the water for 24 hours and partook liberally of the cabbage. STORM PITS REOPENED BY CALHOUN PEOPLE (Special Dispatch to The* Journal.) CALHOUN, Ga., March 29.—The re cent cyclone and the other heavy storms which have been experienced in Gordon county during the past month have caused people everywhere to resur rect old storm pits and to dig new ones.

It is a safe prediction that the next storm that comes this way will find hundreds of citizens in safe hiding. PUTNAM COURT PAYS HONOR TO LAWSON (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)

DANIEL WOOLEN MILLS, Dept.6, 300 Green SL, Chicago month ALLENS PAY PENALTY; GOV. IHS RETURN ENOS Bfflff RESPITE Electrocution of Bandits Fol lows When Dramatic Elev enth-Hour Fight Jo Save Them Is Thwarted Suddenly RICHMOND, Va., March 28.—Floyd Al len and his son Claude, the only two of the Hiilsville gunmen to pay the death penalty for the Carroll court house mur ders a ytar ago, were electrocuted in the state penitentiary shortly after 1 p. m. today, after a dramatic eleventh-hour at tempt to save them had been thwarted by Governor Mann unexpectedly return ing to the capital, thus preventing the lieutenant governor from acting upon a request for a commutation. FLOYD ALLEN UNNERVED. Floyd Allen, leadei jf the outlaw band, an aged prisoner, terribly unnerved by the excitement incident to the delay of six hours in carrying out the sentence went to the chair at 1:20 o’clock. He was pronounced dead at 1:26 o’clock. The prison guards next brought Claude Swanson Allen, son of Floyd, into the death chamber at 1:30 o’clock. He was dead at 1:35. Governor Mann today cut through the maze of constitutional questions , con cerning the lieutenant governor’s right to interfere in the case of the Allens by returning to Virginia soil. From Washington he telegraphed here that he would, be in Virginia by 8 o’clock and in Richmond before noon, the hour at which Lieutenant Governor Ellysop was expected to announce whether or not he would commute the sentence of Claude Allen, as urged last night by Al len sympathizers. With Governor Mann again in his own state, the proceedings before Lieutenant Governor Ellyson automatically ended, and friends of the condemned men who worked all through the night and who took up the fight again this morning with renewed hope, admitted that the last chance had been lost. They did not expect* clemency from Governor Mann, although it was suggested that he be urged tQ grant a respite. Word came from the pen, however, th^t the jury summoned by Superintendent Wood for 7 o’olockj this morning had been order ed to report again at 1 o'clock.

Fortunate is the one who can, eat "anything” without suffering the tor tures of dyspepsia, but as few are so fortunate car§ 4 should be taken in fhe matter of diet. Eating slowly, masti cating the food thoroughly and taking a short walk after the hf-avv meal of the day will do much towards assisting digestion. Any grown-up person ought to know the peculiar foods that do "not agree, and these should be avoided. When these common-sense aids fail, the next thing to do is to take a mild digestivS tonic with laxative properties, and there is none better than Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. It contains the greatest of all aids to digestion, good pepsin. It has other ingredients that act mildly on the bowels, which togeth er forth a combination for the relief of dyspepsia or indigestion that is unsur passed. Its action is to tone and strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles so that they can again do their work naturally without outside aid, and when that hap py moment comes all medicine can be dispensed with. It is the best remedy obtainable for any disorder of, the stom ach, liver and bowels, for dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, headaches, drowsiness after eating, gas on the stomach, etc. Thousands of users will testify to this, among them Mrs. Oliver Young, Merrill, Wls. She says: "After many years suffering from indigestion I have obtained what I believe to be permanent relief by using Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. I feel 10 years younger. a MSS. OLIVER YOUN0. my work seems easy, my breath Is no longer bad and I eat what I want with out distress.” \ Syrup Pepsin is sure in its results, and a vast improvement over chewing or swallowing tablets and mints, or tak ing cathartics, salts, etc., all of which are harsh and nauseous and at best do but temporary good. You can obtain Syrup Pepsin at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar a bottle. Results are always guaranteed or money will be refunded. If no member of your family has evei used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a personal trial of it before buying it in the regular way of a drug gist, send your address—a postal will do—to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 125 Washing ton St., Monticello, Ill., and a free sam ple bottle will be mailed you.
