2 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.

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.” U.

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.

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.

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 Club Standings SOUTHERN SOUTH ATLANTIC Clubs. W. *L. Pet. Clubs. W. L. Pet.

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.

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.” GEORGIA NORMAL TO HAVE PAINTING BY MRS.

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.
