THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1913,
But the Question Agitating
Democrats Is: Can He Pro
duce Proof of Campaign to
Depreciate Bonds?.
BY BAX.FK SKITS.
WASH’X'STON, July 31.—The cur
rency situation today Is surcharged with
acrimonious discussion, private and pub
lic. Secretary McAdeo continues to be
the target of bankers. Republicans, in
surgents and bewildered Democrats. The
suspicion that he acted without direct
documentary proof in charging a con
spiracy in New York to depress govern
ment bonds will not down. Now the
question is: How he is going to get
away with it, without confounding the
Issue of currency legislation?
McAdoo is silent. He refused himself
to the newspaper men who called at
his office today, and it was said for
-him that he would have nothing further
to publish until he had had opportu-
- nity to examine the pile of correspond
ence which his statement of Monday
night has inspired.
REPUBLICANS EMBOLDENED.
The failure of Mr. McAdoo to name
names has emboldened the Republicans
in their fight against currency legisla
tion. They declare now that they will
persist in their plan to prolong the
tariff debate in order to stave off the
Wilson brand of currency reform. They
believe that they put the president in
a hole when they caled on him for proof
of the tariff lobby allegations.
Against the suspicion that Mr. Mc
Adoo acted on inf< nation' and belief,
lather than on uuo ion and specific
knowledge, is the as- -ion of friendly
critics that he knows the devious ways
of New York well enough to know what
he is striking at. Tijey insist that he
has sufficient acumen to appreciate the
seriousness of his charges.
WAS PRESIDENT WARNED?
One question that has gone unanswer
ed- is this: Did the president have any
advance Information about McAdoo’s in
tention to issue such a statement? None
of the administration authorities have
said a word by way of enforcing Mr.
McAdoo’s allegation, and because of this
there has been drawn an Inference that
Mr. McAdoo acted solely upon his own
responsibility.
Senator Owen elaborated today upon
his statement that the banks would be
the first to try to manipulate the fed
eral reserve board, if given control over
it. The senator was asked by The
Journal if he could cite any recent case
where the big New York city banks, or
their allies, would seem to have misused
their discretionary powers for political
or selfish purposes.
SENATOR OWEN TALKS.
"Cite specific instances?" the senator
repeated.
"No. I am not going to be diverted
from my present purpose and work, nor
do I propose to be drawn into further
controversy with these banks or other
banks. But I know the National City
bank crowd and a lot of others in the
same crew. I know of how they travel
about the country, quietly at work with
their publications, to create sentiment
inimical to the banking and currency
bill. Oh, you bet I know them, and I
know them well. But I haven't the time
to quarrel with them, for I’ve got a pret
ty big think on my hands Just now.
' RAPS THE BANKS.
“You’ve heard what I said in my state
ment the other day. If the banks them
selves were permitted to control the fed
eral reserve board, the National City
bank would head the list in its political
activities to control the federal reserve
board and would not be moved altogether
by altruistic purposes. That’s clear
enough, isn’t it?
"And you’ve heard what the banks—
particularly those political banks—have
to say? Intimating that the federal re
serve board would be left in the hands
of ’dead ducks, politicians, old timber
out for a Job.’ What right have they to,
infer any such tiling? On what do they
base such an assumption Why, the
men who will compose that board will
have control of over twenty-five million
dollars; and these banks dare to say ‘po
liticians.’ meaning wornout men, we are
left to infer, will be chosen for such
positions. That’s sheer Impudence—
nothing less than damned impudence.
“No,” he concluded, "I don’t want to
cite specific instances. It’s not neces
sary.”

CLEM POOLE INDICTED
Hundreds Gather at Station
When Accused Man I?
Brought Back
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
DALTON, Ga., July 31.—Clem Poole,
charged with the murder of Policeman
Harry Cook, Tuesday afternoon was in
dicted for murder by the grand jury, the
bill being returned shortly after 6
o’clock. Three other indictments for
murder, against Dan Hatfield, John and
Tom Nicodemus, were returned at the
same time, and the cases have been set
for trial Wednesday. Hatfield and the
Nicodemus brothers are charged with the
murder of Will Parrish, in North Dal
ton, several weeks ago.
Poole, captured in Chattanooga, was
brought back Tuesday afternoon at 4:25
o’clock, Police Chief White, Policemen
Duckworth and J. P. Elrod going after
the prisoner. Several hundred peopie
h^d gathered, awaiting the arrival of the
officers with their prisoner, but Poole
was not touched.. He was taken to the
county jail and confined, Judge G. G.
Glenn, his attorney, remaining with him
for some time. *
The murder cases will be called in the
superior court today. The case against
Hatfield will be taken up first, and
it probably will be Thursday before the
Poole case is reached.
Acting under instructions from his at
torney, Poole refused to make any kind,
bf a statement. He would not talk of
the crime with which he is charged.
When questioned, Judge Glenn stated
that he was employed Tuesday morning
to defend Poole and had been busy
throughout the day preparing the de
fense. “I see no reason now why we
should not be ready at least by Thurs
day,” he said, “and I expect an acquittal
for my client.”
Hatfield, charged with murder, an
nounced when taken before Judge Fite,
that he was unable to employ counsel,
and Judge Fite appointed Attorney W.
E. Mann to defend him. Mann has been
retained to defend the Nicodemus broth
ers, charged with be^Vig implicated in the
murder of Will Parrish.

STRANGE BURNING PLANT
BLOOMS AT EATONTON
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
EATONTON, Ga., July 81.—Rather a
rare botanical specimen sent by a for
mer resident of this county to rela
tives here during its full bloom of tht
past two weeks has attracted consider
able attention, not only from lovers of
rare plants, but lovers of the curious
as well. The plant is known, or called
by both of two names, the Bird of Par
adise plant, and Moses and the Burn
ing Brush, either of which seems fully
appropriate. The bush is about eight
feet tall with leaves of leguminous
type, and the blooms are in clusters,
yellow in color with several seemingly
elongated pistils extending from within
the bloom, bright red and making a
very happy harmony of calors. The
large clusters over the bush with these
red pistils attract attention immedi
ately to the plant and give it indeed the
appearance of a burning bush. At the
same time, the blooms taken separately
make the Bird of Paradise plant seem
especially appropriate as a name. Pods
containing seed make tjie plant easy
of propagation and quite a number of
citizens have been eagerly securing
these as souvenirs.

Mysterious Stenographer Is
Found Near New Jersey's
“Little White House"

SEAGIRT, N. J., July 31.—George K.
Harris, a stenographer, fifty years old,
who was found dead from three bullet
wounds In the head, near the summer
home of Governor Fielder at the state
encampment reservation yesterday, had
been gambling with the militiamen en
camped there and was probably ^ murder
ed for the money he won, according to
the theory entertained by the police.
Harris was regarded as a “man of mys
tery” at the encompment. Little was
known of him except that he came from
Danbury, Conn., about a month ago.
Advices from Danbury say that he is
not known there.
The police are still confident that
the small caliber revolver which Har
ris clutched in his hand, had not been
used by himself, the wounds being of
a nature, it was said, that could not
have been self-inflicted. He was evi
dently murdered while walking from the
state camp to his boarding house at
Spring Lake, a distance of about two
miles. The lawn near the spot where
the man’s body was found, 100 feet
from the “little white house” where
President Wilson resided last summer
before his election and where Governor
Fielder now resides, had been trampled
by many feet. The theory le that
Harris gave a hard fight to his assail
ants. who first shot only to wound him
by injuring his knee, but then being
hard pressed shot him through the head
An empty wallet was found twenty
feet from the tree, where hla body was
lying. The police located a man who
said he saw Harris Monday, and that he
then had a wallet stuffed with bills of
large denomination. As a witness the
police are seeking an unnamed woman,
with whom Haris was seen to be Walk
ing in the neighborhood of the state
encampment on the night of the tragedy.

Jacksonville Mayor
Says Whipping Post
Would Allay Crime
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 31.—
“What can be done to allay the wave
of crime In this section and what can
you suggest as a remedy?” was the
question put to Mayor Swearingen this
morning.
“A whipping post.”
The answer came quickly, and was
backed up with a good argument by the
mayor, who, through his experience as
a police judge, is quite able to judge
as to what would have the best effect
upon the hardened criminal, who treats
jail life as a luxury.
The mayor in his advocacy of the
whipping post states tha£ there is no
reason why bodily punishment would
not have its effect upon the criminal,
at the present time, as it did in times
of old.
In his argument In favor of the pun
ishment in public, he stated that in
slavery days the negro was civilized by
the whipping post, and seldom If ever
was he brought up for a second time
for the lash. In the old colonial days
the whipping post was the very best
remedy and the punishment by whip
ping In public for crime In the smaller
charges, had Its everlasting effect and
kept crime in the minimum.

town In Falcon, Venezuela, has been
occupied by partisans of Clprlano Cas

for Coro.
The political situation in Venezuela is
regarded as critical. Scores of impor
tant persons have been imprisoned.
The .last definite news as to the
whereabouts of Clprlano Castro, former

Wants Fathers’ Day
A National Event
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 31.—Senator
J. Hamilton Lewis, the former Geor
gian, has come to the conclusion that
the "old man” of the family has not
received proper recognition from a
grateful country, although the nation
has honored the other members of the
American household.. As a result he
announced his intention to introduce
a bill setting aside July 29 as “Fath
ers’ day.” Already there is a “Moth
ers’ da'y” and a "Children's day.”
“Why shouldn't we do something for
the ‘old man?'” demanded the senator
with virtuous indignation. "He pays
the bills and on cold winter mornings
lights the fires.
“In summer time they make him do
the work of a horse mowing the lawn
In the blazing sun. His lot altogeth
er Is not exactly a happy one. He de
serves recognition.”
Senator Lewis intends to Introduce a
bill at this session, but will not press
It for consideration until the regular
session beginning in December. li
prompt action is not taken on It then, he
threatens to make a speech.
CLAIMS HE IS THE HEIR
TO BALTIMORE
F, G, Alexander, of Birming
ham, to File Suit for
Price Estate
(By Associated Press.)
BALTIMORE, July 3^,—F. G. Alex
ander, who claims to be a stockbroker
of Birmingham, Ala., Is in Baltimore
to prosecute his claim as one of the
“heirs” of the Price estate, said to
consist largely of a big tract of land
In the heart of Baltimore’s business
district. According to his statement
the Price heirs are entitled to nearly
all of the upper end of the eastern
shore of Maryland, as well as to a large
portion of Baltimore city and county.
He said he had been told they could
count on about $10,000,000 as the val
ue of their claim.
“I am the owner of the original
sheepskin parchment on which these
grants of land were made to Andrew
and Thomas Price by Lord Baltimore,’
Mr. Alexander added. “Andrew was
given the eastern shore grant and
Thomas that on this side of the bay.
This land was leased for ninety-nine
years and the lease automatically re-
nenewed Itself. Hence the buildings
have gone on from time to time without
molestation. I have traced nineteen
parcels of the Baltimore property and
think we can prove title. The remain
ing parcels cannot be followed so easily,
as tne records have been lost or contus
ed in the lapse of time.”
The title deeds to much of the land
in question have been guaranteed by
title companies and most of the numer
ous claimants gave up hope of acquisi
tion of any portion of it when the old
irredeemable ground rent system was
explained to them.

Mrs. John H. Hanan Loses
$150,000 Worth of Gems
and Mrs, C, C. Rumsey's
Loss Is $75,000
N4RRAGANSETT PIER. K. 1.. July
31.—America’s best detective genius is
matching wits today with expert crooks
who took $225,000 worth of gems al
most from under the noses of the own
ers in me summer colony here during
the last week-end.
Rival agencies, with international
reputations as thief-getters, have been
engaged by the victims, Mrs. C. C. Rum-
sey, daughter of the late E. H. Harri-
man, and Mrs. John H. Hanan, wife of
a wealthy shoe manufacturer. Every
pier on Narragansett bay Is being
watched in the belief that the thieves,
operating as gentlemen, are saunter
ing about the fashionable hotels, look
ing for an opportunity to leave town
without exciting suspicion. Thus far
not a tangible clew has been found.
HANAN LOSS $160,000.
Mrs. Hananls jewels, worth $160,000,
were stolen from her room at Shore
Acres Friday evening durjng the ab
sence of a maid for not more than
twenty minutes. The gems lost by Mrs.
Rumsey, valued at $75,000, were re
moved from her sleeping room while *she
was out on Saturoay evening,
is believed that the old gang which
profited so greatly here In the summer
of 1911 Is again at work and the' po
lice realize that if this is the cash they
are pined against expert cunning. At
tention again Is turned toward the re
ported “fence” In Boston long believed
to be patronized by these thieves, but
which has never been located. How
ever, it Is not expected that tne Mem
bers of the gang will, attempt to dis
pose of their booty for the present.
SERVANTS NOT SUSPECTED.
Mrs. Hanan said that the twenty-five
servants had been eliminated in the In
vestigation.
“I left the house on Friday evening
for a church reception,” said Mrs. Han
an, “leaving on my bureau several
pieces of jewelry for my maid to put
away, which she did. When I left the
house the maid went to a spring not far
from the house to bring some water
to my room. When she returned, per
haps twenty minutes later, she found
the bureau open and much of the jewel
ry gone. She notified me by telephone
at the church and I immediately return
ed to the house. I at once telephoned
to & detective at Providence and he ar
rived here Sunday morning. Five men
are now working on the case. I do not
suspect the servants.”
ANOTHER ROBBERY.
Some time ago Mrs. Walter Ives ,of
New York, lost a pearl necklace said to
be worth $2,000 while visiting here.
The Hanans are leaders In the sum
mer conony. Shores Acres is regarded
as the show place of the pier.
Mrs. Hanan controls the casino and
Is financially Interested In one of the
leading hotels.

f T, T^AOO July 31.—Women cast the
deciding ballots in two elections in Illi
nois yesterday.
At Champaign, 120 women ovted for
the first time and carried a proposition
to issue bonds for the purpose of mo

cast one-fourth of the ballots, and as

Impossible, you say? Let us prove It at

yet In an hour of practice you can be
