SHADES OF NEGRO WOMEN VOTING
KILLS FLORIDA SUFFRAGE MOVE
Party Come sto Savannah in
Search of Negro Who Is
Hiding in Swamps
SAVANNAH, Ga., May 6.—The .scene
of the search for Richard Henry Aus
tin, the South Carolina negro, who
is sought by a posse for having killed
two men and wounded four near Hamp
ton, S. C., Wednesday afternoon, led
almost to the outskirts of Savannah to
day. Some of the men who are search
ing for him did come into the city for
the purpose of obtaining information
ard are getting ready to go out this
afternoon. The search is now con
centrated about Newington,. a small
station on the Brinson railroad, be
tween Savannah and Sylvanla.
Newington Is near the Savannah riv
er .and it Is stated that Austin has
crossed this stream In an effort to get
away from those who are trying to
run him down.
Van ePeples, a well known planter in
the vicinity of Estill, S. C., came to
Savannah to get information for the
other members of the posse, who are
^waiting at Meinhard, a few miles from
Savannah. Plans are being made to
carry the posse to Newington as quick
ly as possible. Edward Ziegler, a magis
trate at Estill, is in charge of the posse
at Meinhard. There are between 30
and 50 men in the crowd. The people
at Estill took up a subscription to pay
the expenses of the posse on the train.
The whole vicinity in which the killing
occurred is still in a state of great ex
citement*
Coming down on the S. A. L. train
from Estill Mr. Helmken encountered
45 armed men in the coaches recruit
ed from all the stations between Hamp
ton, S. C., and Ciyo, all bound for .Mein
hard and thence for Newington, Ga.
That the negro riding in a buggy to
throw the bloodhounds off his scent
has reached a point between Newing
ton and Clvo is the opinion of the man-
hunter&v Says Mr. Helmken, based upon
the assertion of Mr. U. L. Elisey, who
claims that he saw the negro in a bug
gy, drive rapidly through Clyo yester
day at "noon, headed in the direction of
the swamps between that place and
Newington.

Nine years ago I thought there was nothing on

untold agooy; I broke out all over—the doctors pro
nounced it blood poison. I began taking all kinds
of drugs and medicinebut
without benefit; when my i
third child was born I had
falling of the womb and it
became so Inflamed aud
ulcerated that I could
scarcely stand on my feet.
I saw balm of Figs Com

Lawrence Yerger, of Missis
sippi, Is Said to Have Con
fessed To Defaulting
(By Associated Press.)
JACKSON. Mias., May 6.—Lawrence
Yerger, clerk of the board of prison
trustees, was arrested tonight charged
with being a defaulter in the sum of
814,627. Yerger is said to have ac
knowledged to Governo Brewer that he
was short in his - accounts.
An affidavit was filed against Yerger
1 late today by Attorney General Ross A.
Collins .alleging Yerger had, by making
erasures and otherwise defacing his
books, covered up receipts that had been
turned into the prison office and appro
priated the money to his own use. This
money was derived from the sale of
products of the state farms. Yerger. it
is charged, so mutilated the records ot
these transactions that it was impos
sible to trace the amounts paid, while
in some instances no record of them
appeared upon the books kept by him.
The affidavit filed against Yerger by
Attorney General Collins charges that
during the last four years money was
paid to him on account of articles
purchased through him of the state
and are unaccounted Tor as follows:
By the Jackson Oil and Refining
company $1,447.17; Natchez Cotton Oil
comapny, $6,136; Brookhaven Cotton Oil
and Fertilizer company, $7,044.
Governor Brewer tonight said the
amount of the alleged a defalcation will
probably develop to be greater than
the sun now given.
The governor said it will be impos
sible to determine the shortage until
a thorough examination of the books
and accounts has been made.
Governor Brewer stated tonight that
Yerger had acknowledged to him that
he was short in his accounts, but dicl
r.ot say wha he had done with the
money. Te governor said that he had
had detectives examining the books of
thq. prison office for another purpose
and the shortage of the clerk, who
had # not been suspected, was discovered.
Yerger, when placed under arrest,
at once waived examination and in a
short time was released o $25,000 bohd,
signed by some of the leading citi
zens of Jackson.
Yerger is 29 years old, married and
is from one of the most prominent fam
ilies of the state.
Harry Floyd’s Dilemma Over
Negro Question Settled the
Question of Votes for Wo
men With Lower Branch of
Florida Legislature
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., May 5.—No
event of less community Interest than
high school commencement or memo
rial day oration could have drawn the
attendance that the suffragette question
in the house did Friday morning, when
the resolution proposing the ballot for
women as offered by Mr. Bussey was
taken up as the special order.
If members of the house had not al
ready made up their minds on the
question, they lost no time in forming
negative opinions after Representative
Harry Floyd, of Franklin, read a letter
which he had received from a negro
woman, thanking him for his interest
in '“Votes fer Wtimmuns" and assuring
him of the appreciation of the 3,000
and some odd negro women of Jackson
ville.
Although Mr. Floyd voted to submit
the question to the people, he declared
that he did not know on which side to
stand. The letter from a prospective
black suffragette, however, settled the
question for once and all with many
of Mr. Floyd's colleagues and to this
is attributed the real cause of the
amendment’s defeat.
Long before the hour for the special
order the galleries began to fill with
handsomely gowned women and pinkly
perfect girls, and as the time approach
ed—the hour of fate, according to John
J. Ingalls,—the area back of the rail,
which is termed the gallery by cour
tesy only, was filled and the house at
tendants began placing chairs in the
aisles and vacant spaces about the
speaker’s stand until the supply of
chairs was exhausted, and then the
aisles became the standee, and when
the debate began every door was
choke-full, and there appeared tier up
on tier 6f faces until the doorfacings
at the top were reached, and every
opening was packed with a plumosa-
framed series and succession of fem
inine beauty. All around the walls
of the chamber there were people, and
it is doubtful if that historic room
ever witnessed a more tense moment
than the moment when Harry Gold
stein moved that the special order be
followed and the house go into the
consideration of the resolution.
Excitement paling his bald head,
even, dry of throat and nervous of
manner, the Honorable H. Clay Stan
ford addressed the 'chair. “I had
hoped,” he opened, "that the time
would never come in the state of
Florida when this question would come
before this body. On behalf of the
people I represent and in my own be
half, I wish to express my unalterable
opposition to the submission, even, ot
this proposition to the people.”
Mr. Stanford delivered an impassion
ed speech during which he paced the
aisle from his seat against the wall to
the speaker's stand. He said, he wanted
the women of the south to remain in
that realm of reverence which had
been made for her by the men of the
south, he desired that the woman of
fifty years ago be the standard by
which the women of the day should
be measured and strive to achieve.
Mr. Henry objected to the line of ar
gument which Mr. Stanford was follow
ing, contending that he was not speak
ing to the question. Henry said that
the merits of woman’s suffrage should
not be gone into, for the reason that
it was 6n the referendum of the mat
ter to the people that was before the
house and not the merits of the ques
tion, because they were involved and
he did not yield the privilege of doing
so to any man- on the floor. He
charged that the movement to secure
the vote for women came- from the
north, and that the women of the
south didn’t want It. The injection
of this idea, he said, was poisonous,
and the members should see to it that
the matter was summarily disposed
of.

Paragon Tailoring Co., Deptfeos, Chicago, III.
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ROME, Ga., May 5.—Refusing to tol
erate the presence in their communtiy
of a wildcat still and the almost open
sale of liquor, a band of women residing
at West Armuchee, in Walker county,
searched the woods near Suttle’s mill
until the still was found. In the party
were Mrs. S. Hunt, Mrs. Brock and
daughter and Mrs. Anderson and daugh
ter. The moonshiners were busy at
work when the .women approached, and
immediately took flight, but not before
they were recognized by the women.
Securing a pick, the amateur raiding
party made a desperate effort to destroy
the still. United States revenue offi
cers were notified and made a raid in
the hope of capturing the moonshiners
and their outfit.
Thie raid had been tipped off, however,
and when the officers reached the scene
the still had been hurriedly removed
and no one was about. Eight hundred
gallons of beer were destroyed. It is
said that the operators of the still are
well known, and that arrests will follow
unless they have fled the country.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.—Secretary
of t State Bryan turned from Tokio to
Rfo do Janeiro last night. At the close
of a banquet given in his honor by the
directors of the Panama-Pacific ex
position, he suddenly launched into a
glorification of the golden rule as ap
plied to the republics of South Ameri
ca.
“I glory,” he said, “that we now have
an administration which bring home
to the republics of South America our
sense of national honor and which will,
herald t° them our abandonment of
dollar diplomacy.
“If you people will give to South
America a demonstration of American
capital and enterprise, the United
States will give dollars in service for
your dollars in goods. There is no
limit to the possible expansion of the
golden rule between South and North
America.
“The canal zone should be the center
of American activties for two conti
nents. I dream of an American uni
versity there which should promulgate
the expansion of peace and Justice.”

WASHINGTON, May 5.—President
Wilson ascended the Washington mon
ument today and held an informal re
ception in the tower at its summit.
The president had strolled away from
the White House, accompanied only by
Joseph W. Murphy, one of the secret
service men, and had stopped for a
few minutes to watch “a kid’s ball
game,” when he suddenly took a notion
to join the crowd of tourists who meet
at the monument throughout the day.
At first the president was not recog
nized, but when one man spied him
and insisted on shaking hands, the en
tire party grouped about the president
and greeted him.
When he descended, the elevator was
crowded, so the president gave up his
seat to a woman passenger and stood
during the trip down, which takes sev
eral minutes.

not charged for the meal. Again he

HALF-MILLI0N-D0LLAR
FIRE LOSS IN ENGLAND
BRADFORD, Eng., May 5.—Extensive
sheds belonging to the Midland rail
road, containing much freight, burned
duwn here last night, causing a loss
of $500,000. Nineteen loaued freight
ears and quantities of dry goods and
carpets were consumed.
Mysterious fires have broken out in
these sheds on three successive Fri
day nights. The militant suffragettes
were suspected of arson but there was
no proof of this.
The latest fire was evidently in
cendiary, for the firemen discovered it
had been started simultaneously in sev
eral parts of the building.
Earlier in the night a fire had been
started in some cars loaded with straw
in another yard apparently to divert
attention from the principal scene of
operations of the incendiaries.
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, May 5.—In confer
ence today with the legislative commit
tee of the American Bankers’ associa
tion, Senator Hoke Smith outlined cur
rency legislation which he has in view,
and about which he is in consultation
with members of the senate banking
committee. The scheme was discussed
in great detail, and the bankers seemed
satisfied that the plan worked out by
the eGorgia senator will, if enacted, ac
complish desired results in the way of
making the currency of the United
States more elastic. Joseph A. McCord,
of the Third. National bank of Atlanta,
headed the bankers’ committee.
As the initial step in solving the prob
lem of currency reform, Senator Smith’s
plan provides for the creation of not
more than twenty, nor fewer than ten,
territorial divisions of the United States,
in each of which there shall be organ
ize a national reesrve association. The
national banks in each division shall
subscribe ten per cent of their capital
stock to the stock of the reserve asso
ciation, one-half of the subscription to
be paid in. The banks shall. . deposit
their reserves, less the amount kept Jh
their vaults, with the association. State
banks and trust companies may become
members of the reserve associations,
provided the states, by legislation, so
authorize, and provided the state banks
and trust companies comply with the
laws applicable to national banks in
their relation to the associations.
It is Senator Smith's idea to limit the
dividends on the capital stock of the
reserve association to 4 per cent., allow
ing, however, to the several banks in
accordance with the daily averages car
ried by the banks with the association.
NO PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The plan prohibits the reserve asso
ciations from doing business with pri
vate individuals or corporations, ' and
limits their business activities solely to
their stockholders—the banks .holding
membership in the association. It is
provided, however, that any association
may loan money tq, pr borrow money
from other associations, providing that
the association making the loan has on
hand more money thafc is required by
its immediate stockholders.
The creation of a board of general su
pervisors, to consist of the secretary
of the treasury, the attorney general
and the comptroller of the currency, is
contemplated, by Senator Smith’s plan.
He proposes also that a deputy comp
troller of the currency shall reside with
in the territorial limits of each reserve
division, and shall have access at all
times to the banking offices of the asso
ciation.
The board of supervision shall main
tain at all times a supply of reserve as
sociation notes which can be obtained
by reserve associations for use as cur
rency, upon deposit of approved personal
collateral ample to secure the notes
which they obtain.
The board of supervision also shall
have power to fix the rate of inteerst or
tax which the reserve association shall
pay on the notes, the rate to be uniform
throughout the United States, with the
privilege of making the rate vary ac
cording to the length of time that the
notes are kept in circulation. The ob
ject of this porvision is to enable the
use of the notes in the nature of an
emergency currency, to be retired,when
not required for use. \
