THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.. FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1913.
C. 0. D.
FOR PARCEL POST JOLT 1
Local Postoffice Now Making
Plans for Installation of
New Service
Local postal officials are working- out
the details of the C. O. D. and insurance
feature of the parcels post, which will
go into effect on July 1, and which
is one of the most far-reaching depart
ures ever taken by the service.
Under the new plan, parcels may be
*e.nt C. O. D. up to a value of $100, and
may be insured for a value not greater
than $50. Ten cents extra in stamps
will give the sender this service—that
is, the privilege of sending the package
C. O. D. and of insuring it.
The government will remit collections
to the sender. Packages of this kind
will be accepted only at money order
stations. The person receiving the
package is not allowed to examine it be
fore receiving iti nor can the package
be returned after it is received and
paid for.
This system means a lot of additional
work, and the postoffice is making prep
arations to put on an extra force.
Local officials of the postofflee de
clare that the new system means a
j lot to mail order houses, and they stress
the importance of. these houses going
j -out for mail order business, and ad
vertising extensively for it.
- One department store which began the
mail order business has had to enlarge
it* facilities, and the parcel post han
dles everything now from cork legs to
manicure sets.
The officials say that Atlanta is the
best distributing point from a postal
standpoint in the country, and it gets
quick connection with postoffices from
> the Potomac, river to the Rio Grande.
SENTENCE IN LETTER
BIG POINT IN CASE
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, May 29.—Upon one sen
tence in a letter L. N. Seaman is al
leged to have written as a director of
the Peters Brothers Paving company,
government attorneys laid stress today
in their effort to convict him of crim
inal conduct as cashier of the E^gin
National bank. Seaman and M. C.
Jocelyn, assistant 'cashier of the bank,
are on trial charged with misusing
$‘45,000 of the bank’s funds.
The letter was identified by W. G.
TVilcox, a representative of the paving
company, as one written to him by
Seaman in 1910, when he was at Sa-
pulpa, Okla., trying to get a paving
contract.
“I know Oklahoma bonds are in rot
ten condition,” the letter reads, “but
nevertheless I will take a chance on
this bid.”
Seaman and Jocelyn are accused of
paying money to the paving company
on drafts on Sapulpa which the gov
ernment charges they knew were worth
less.
DANE INVENTS AN
AUTOMATIC SOLDIER
COPENHAGEN, May 29.—The dream
of a Danish engineer named Aesen, cl
seeing the next war waged by automa
tons in place of soldiers, has developed
into the patenting of an invention
which, it is said, would revolutionize
defensive tactics. Aesen’s contrivance
is a cylinder which may be buried in
the ground for years in the same fash
ion as submarine mines are placed in
harbors, doing no damage until they
are fired. The cylinder is operated by
electricity from a station four or five
miles distant. When a button is pressed
the cylinder jumps two feet from the
ground and fires four hundred shots
horizontally, the shots being effective
at a range of 3,000 yards.
Aesen asserts that crops might be
grown over the automatons in time or
peace and thus they would be so well
hidden that the enemy would not know
their position until they started firing.

1,000 SOULS RESCUED
FROM FOUNDERED LINER
(By Associated Press.)
QUEENSTOWN, May 29.—The gov
ernment and other tugs found the Hav-
erford at about 6 o’clock this evening.
She had struck on the rocks oft Cork
head west of Queenstown and not on
Daunt rock as bad been supposed. The
passengers are being taken off.
She is believed to have about 1,000
passengers, of whom 150 are second
class and the remainder steerage.
The Haverfond took a large number
of passengers on board at Liverpool for
Philadelphia.
The sea is smooth but the shore along
this coast is very rocky. The fog con
tinues dense.
Two tugs which left, the Haverford
with 700 passengers on board reached
Queenstown this evening. The tug
Hellespont and another tug are still
alongside the liner, so there is little
doubt that all the passengers and crew
will be saved.

tion of a monument to those who died
in the explosion of the battleship Maine,
an uncounted number of memorial ex

SENATOR CUMMINS GETS
READY FOR LOBBY PROBE
Resolution for Tariff Inquiry
Expected to Come Up Late
Thursday
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 29.—Senator
Cummins was ready to call up in the
senate late today his resolution for an
Inquiry into the tariff lobby in Wash
ington which President Wilson has des
ignated as “insidious.” That it would be
passed after some modification was the
opinion expressed by Democratic lead
ers.
While not opposed to the spirit of
the resolution, leaders feared such an
investigation might divert attention
from the tariff bill and delay its pas
sage.
Later, however, Democratic leaders de
termined that the resolution should
pass, inasmuch as its introduction was
prompted by utterances of President
Wilson, but agreed upon changing the
language and modifying somewhat the
provision requiring the president to
furnish the investigators with the
names of the lobbyists to whom he re
ferred in his recent public statement,
“and other information about them and
their efforts to bring about changes
in legislation now before the senate.”

M’REYNOLDS MAY PROBE
TOBACCO TRUST AGAIN
Semblance of Trust Does Not
Seem to Have Entirely
Disappeared
(By Assooiated Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 29.—Attorney
General McReynolds still is studying
whether the decree dissolving the “to
bacco trust” is being complied with
and whether all semblance of a “tobacco
trust” has disappeared.
Since the entry of the decree the de
partment of justice made a few local
investigations in the south where com
plaints alleged that the decree was be
ing violated. The results have not
been definite.
The attorney general was the govern
ment’s attorney in the original tobac
co case. He disagreed with former At
torney General Wickersham as to the
terms of the decree dissolving the trust,
especially that feature by which the
stock was distributed pro rata among
the stockholders.
FORMER PENCIL WORKER
OUTLINES HIS THEORY
Gustave Haas, of 165 Pulliam street,
who at one time worked at the Na
tional Pencil factory, and is familiar
with the arrangement of the building,
has furnished The Journal with his
theory of the rhagan murder.
He believes the motive was robbery,
and that it was done by a negro who
laid in wait for some of th e employes
to get their pay. Little Mary Phagan
happened to be his victim, and accord
ing to Haas, he threw the body down
the evelvator shaft after a scuffle.
Then he strangled the almost lifeless
body to death. He ,had already robbed
her of her mesh bag, which he thought
contained a lot of money.
Haas believes the sweeper and the
night watchman both had their part in
the crime.
THERE’S LAW AND ORDER
!N ISLE OF WIGHT
f By Associated Press.)
NORFOLK. Va., May 29.—Isle of
Wight county, Va., having a population
of 15,000, claims the record for law
and order. No grand jury has been

inal business thus far during the year
1913, and Judge B. D. White, of the
circuit court, said today the county jail
was empty. Civil business alone keeps
the court alive.
ANOTHER WOMAN APPEARS
IN CASE OF MORRISON
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, May 29.—A fifth woman
appeared last night in the strange case
of the late Hom^r Edward Morrison,
“man of many widows.”
She is Miss Eleanor Ostrander, who
asserts she was to have married Mor
rison yesterday as W. E. Morrison.
Morrison, who died just a week ago,
left three widows and two fiancees, and
the police believe there are other wom
en who are mourning him as husband
or betrothed.
Miss Ostrander told detectives she
met Morrison six years ago, and during
that time he took her to many places
of amusement and gave her several sub
stantial presents.
Before Morrison began courting Miss
Ostrander, he had two wives. Two years
after he began to pay her attentions
he married again. He also found time
to pay his respects to another woman,
a widow, who says she was to have
married him next month. She gave
Morrison $1,600.
Miss Ostrander is the only woman
of the five who does not claim to have
given Morrison considerable sums.

before adjournment, Light, of Marion,
who moved for reconsideration of com
mittee substitute for good roads bill,

counter over the bill, it is still pend
ing.
The house passed the McWilliams
bill relative to regulation of savings
banks, also passed senate bill relating
to the appointment of pilot commis
sioners. A bill by Bussey, of Palm
Beach, making it unlawful to circulate
false statements rerogatory to bank
ing institutions, passed.
Farris’ joint resolution proposing
amendment to the constitution that on
ly white persons shall holf office, was
mended by Acosta that the word
“male” be added. The resolution was
defeated by a tie vote, though a motion
was made to reconsider tomorrow.

perance measures passed, including the
act regulating the hours and times of

Much Sought Witness
Is Located at Trial
Among the Spectators
(By Associated Press.)
BOSTON, May 29.—Only a few wit
nesses remained to be examined by the
prosecution today before closing its
presentation of evidence in the dyna
mite conspiracy trial. „
Orville Reddig, a chauffeur, formerly
employed by William M. Wood, presi
dent of the American Woolen company,
appeared in court today. He had been
sought vainly for several days as a
witness for the state.
The presence of the much desired
witness was disclosed through the tes
timony of the first witness, J. R. Bai
ley, Jr., who, when asked when he had
last seen Reddig, replied:
“I see him now.”
“Do you mean to say that you see
him in this court room at the present
time?” exclaimed the district attorney.
“Yes, sir.”
The prosecutor located the chauffeur
among the spectators, and a few mo
ments later called him to the stand.
The state has repeatedly intimated
an intention to establish that Reddig
drove one of Wood’s automobiles on a
mysterious errand the night of January
19, 1912, when the dynamite was
“planted.”
Reddig said he had not been in
Wood’s employ since last November.
He recalled his movements on the night
of January 19, 1912. That evening he
drove Atteaux In a touring car from
Boston to Andover. He spent the night
at his own home. He did not take out
his car the next morning so far as he
could remember. i

KERN'S ASSISTANT
Former Georgian Now Illinois
Senator, Becomes Assistant
Leader in U, S, Senate
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. May 29.—Senator
James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, was
today elected Democratic floor manager
and assistant to Majority Leader Kern
by the senate Democratic caucus. Sena
tor Lewis' position is a new one in
the senate and corresponds to the whip
in the house.
The caucus adopted a resolution urg
ing all Democratic senators to remain
in Washington and went on record as
opposed to any long trips to Europe
such as several senators had planned,
until the tariff bill has been disposed
of. Because of their slender majority,
plans were discussed for keeping mem
bers in line and getting them to the
senate for important votes.
The caucus also named a committee
to confer with a committee from the
house and members of the national
Democratic committeer egarding reorgan
ization of the congressional campaign
committee. Senators Gore, Chamber-
lain, Shivley, Newlands and Thomas
were named.
There are indications that the oppo
sition parties in Japan are utilizing the
California problem to discredit the
Yamamoto ministry.
The cabinet, however, is generally
conceded to be in a strong position with
the public.

JAP LEADERS CONFER
WITH OLD STATESMAN
(By Associated Press.)
TOKYO, May 29-.—Because of the
growing attacks by the opposition, the
Japanese government today took the
elder statesmen and other leaders in
cluding Prince Taro Katsura, former
premier, into its confidence on the
California question, and submitted to
them the text of America's reply to
Japan’s protest against the California
alien land ownership legislation.
The text of the reply sent by Wash
ington emphasizes that the question
at issue is an economic and not a po
litical one. It points out that the
state of California insists’ that there
has been no violaion of the American-
Japanese treaty.
After lengthily dwelling on the
friendship of the United States for
Japan, the reply concludes that the
courts of law are open and expresses
the hope that the question may be
solved in a manner satisfactory to Ja
pan.
POLICE NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR PARADE DISORDERS
• (By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON,. May 29.—Superin
tendent Sylvester and the Washington
police are absolved from blame for the
disorders which attended the big woman
suffrage pageant here on March 3 by
the report of the senate committee
which investigated the affair, present
ed to the senate today.
The immense crowd that flocked to
Washington fot the inauguration and
the fact that street cars were permit
ted to operate along the line of march
up to the last moment, were charged
with being principally responsible.
The committee held that while some
of the uniformed and some special po
licemen acted with apparent indiffer
ence, and made little attempt to check
the crowds, the whole force should not
be discredited.
Chief Sylvester was exonerated of
“hostility” to the suffragists.

A Staple Medicine
for All Families
»
From Infancy to Old Age a
Reliable Family Laxative
is Most Needed — Try
This One.
It is inconceivable in this day of gen
eral intelligence that any family would
be without a simple remedy for the
minor ills of life, for often by giving
such a remedy in time a serious disease
can be frustrated and a life saved.
For example, if at the first sign of a
cold a simple laxative-tonic like Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin were given the
beginning of a serious lung affection or
cf a typhoid fever might be avoided.
And also in headaches, nervousness, etc.,
a small dose of this remedy would re
lieve the congestion and replace dis
tress with comfort. Mothers give it to
tiny infants and little children, and
grown people take it with equally good
effect.
Thousands of good American homes
are never without it, among them the
home of Dr. Geo. T. Hull, Prop. Hull
Drug Co., Prue, Okla. Dr. Hull has
for a number of years recommended Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin in his practice
and writes that “for stomach and bowel
disorders, worms in children and a gen
eral laxative-tonic it has no equal.”
Syrup Pepsin saves the health of the
family, and it saves doctor’s bills. It is
a guaranteed cure for any form of
stomach, liver and bowel trouble, con
stipation, indigestion, biliousness, gas on
the stomach headaches, drowsiness after
eating, etc. Have no hesitancy about
giving it to any member of the family,
however young or old, for it contains
nothing injurious to the youngest per
son.
A bottle can be obtained at any near
by drug store for fifty cents or one dol
lar. The latter size is more economical
and is bought by those who have al
ready convinced themselves of its mer
its. Syrup Pepsin users learn to discard
pills, salts, cathartics and purgatives
generally as they are too great a shock
to any average system.
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 win
do—to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 425 Wash-
ington St., Monticello, Ill., and a free
sample bottle will be mailed you.

JUDGE GARY TESTIFIES
BEFORE STEEL PROBE
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, May 29.—Judge Elbert
H. Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel corporation testified today as a
defense witness in the hearings of the
suit to dissolve the corporation under
the Sherman anti-trust law.
The federal Steel company which the
government alleges is a monopoly in
itself, was launched, Judge Gary testi
fied, at a meeting of officials of the va
rious companies which went into it,
held at a New York hotel in 1908.
The government maintains that .the
company paid excessive prices 'for the
various properties united in this amal
gamation. The witness said these val
ues were fixed by the late H. H. Rogers
with the advice of experts and were
“conservative.”
“Had you in mind at that ime the
development of the export business?”
asked R. V. Lindabury, attorney for
the corporation.
“Yes.”
The Federal Steel issued $100,000,000
of stock to acquire the properties.
Judge Gary continued, which he de
clared were worth far more than that
sum. The government alleges tha the
Federal company was over capitalized
by at least $20,000,000.
“The Federal Steel company, was
formed,” said the witness, “for the pur
pose of manufacturing steel. The ef
fect of the combinatipn was not to re
strain trade.”

WOMAN’S STORY
MADE PUBLIC
Mrs. Moncrief Didn’t Consider
It Secret-Thought Friends
Should Know-Read Her
Statement
Belton, Tex.—Mrs. Ethel Moncrief, of
this place, says: “I suffered with a
complaint peculiar to women, and, al
though I called in the doctors, they
failed to do me any good.
Then I began to take Cardul, the
woman’s tonic.
From the first dose, I could feel re
sults, and, in a short time, I was reliev
ed of all my dreadful buffering.
My friends were surprised to see the
results I obtained from the use of Car*
dui. I just couldn’t help telling them. It
built up my system wonderfully.
I do not want to be without Cardui in
my house, as long as I can obtain it. It
is a true relief for womanly troubles. I
can’t praise it too highly.”
In the past half century, thousands of
ladies have written, like Mrs. Moncrief,
to tell of the benefit received from the
use of Cardui.
Such testimony, from earnest women,
surely indicates the merit of this wom
an’s remedy.
Cardui contains pure, harmless, vege
table ingredients, which act in a gentle
way on all the weakened womanly or
gans.
It cannot do you harm, and is almost
sure to be the very medicine you need.
It’s good for young or old.
Please give Cardui a trial.
