VOLUME XII.
ATLANTA, GA„, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1913.
NO. 103.
HOUSE PUIS 0. K.
ON CURRENCY BILL;
84 OPPOSED TO II
Test Vote-on Gold Standard
Amendment Showed 69
Democrats Against It-Cham-
pioned by 298 Members
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—’The ad
ministration currency bill was passed
by the house today by a vote of 2
to *84 practically unamended in its es
sential provisions.
Some house Democrats were inclined
to look with disfavor on an amendment
incorporated in the measure last night
at fhe suggestion of the banking com
mittee. The amendment, proposed by
Representative Foss, Republican, of
Ohio, included a statement that none of
its provisions was calculated to repeal
the law of 3 900, prescribing the gold
money standard, or to disturb the par
ity of money. _
GLASS QUELLS FEARS.
Chairman Glass, however, declared
that the amendment only made clear
the meaning of the bill as originally
framed. A few minor amendments,
changing phraseology or designed to
make clear possible ambiguities in the
bill were the only changes made in the
considered of hundreds of amendments
offered by Republicans and Progress
ives.
Passed by .the house, the bill will ^o
to the senate where a lengthy consider
ation before the banking committee
awaits it.
It probably will be some weeks before
the measure is reported to the senate
where further debate is expected to de
lay final passage.
William H. Berry, of Philadelphia,
urged the senate banking committee to
day not to empower the proposed fed
eral reserve banking board to fix an
arbitrary discount rate in the adminis
tration currency bill. Such a provision
of law, he said, would give financial
cliques practical control of the money
market. Discount rates should be regu
lated solely by business conditions, he
said.
■'There must be actual competition on
both sides of the bank counted/’ said
Mr. Berry.
VOTE ON AMENDMENT.
Representative Wingo, of Arkansas,
demanded a record vote on the so-
called gold standard amendment and on
a division 165 Democrats and Republic
ans voted for it and 45 Democrats
voted against it. A roll-call' was or
dered.
The record vote on the so-called gold
standard amendment was 298 to 69. All
those voting against it were Demo
crats.

PRECEDENTS IN FAVOR
OF THAW’S LIRERMN
Clerks Find That No Man in
His Case Has Ever Before
Been Extradited
(By Associated Press.)
CONCORD, N. H.. Sept. 18.—Harry K.
Thaw sat behind 9, great heap of news
papers at the breakfast table this morn
ing reading Washington dispatches say
ing that if his case went to the United
States supreme court, years might roll
by before a decision was handed down.
“We can wait,” said the fugitive, “but
I hope Governor Felker will decide
against my extradition at once so that
it will not be neceeary to press our
habeas corpus writ in the federal
courts.”
Ten law clerks, retained by Thaw's
counsel, were busy today looking up
state and federal*court rulings in the
matter of extraditing a person charged
with a crime, yet held to be legally in
sane.
“So far we have been unable to find
any case where a person in Thaw’s
position -was ever extradited,” said one
of the^lawyefs.
The same statement in substance,
was made- by Federal Judge Aldrich, at
Littleton Tuesday, in a discussion with
William*’ T. Jerome.
Brothers Who Thought
Each Other to Be Dead
Meet After 40 Years
(By Aw^'a'ed ° T esj» ’
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—While F. C.
Waldman, of Sydney, Australia, who
has been stopping at a local hotel on
a world-girdling tour, was sitting in j
the main dining room of the hotel last
evening, a page passed crying: “Call
for Mr. Waldman.” Supposing the call
was for him, F. C. Waldman took the
message, but found it was addressed
to S. C. Waldman.
“That’s not fof me,” said Mr. Wald
man, returning the telegram.
Because of the similarity of the name
to his. he followed the page. A ruddy
faced man in a remote corner of the
dining room proved to be Samuel C.
Waldman, a rperdhant of Berlin, en route
to Chicago.
The two Waldmans shook hands, com
mented on the similarity of their names
and then began ttf compare notes. Pres
ently, to the surprise of the small page,
the gray-haired men threw their arms
about each other., it turning out that
they were long lqst brothers.
Forty years ago they had left Berlin,
two orphan boys, and embarked in a
sailing vessel to seek their fortunes. The
ship was wrecked off the coast of Aus
tralia and the crew and pagsengers were
forced to put off in boats. The brothers
became separated and never saw each
other again until they met here last
night. Each had supposed the other
dead.
DETECTIVES
Documentary Evidence Pro
duced to Show That Schmidt
and Muret Knew Each as
Fa/ Back as April, 1911
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Documentary
evidence showing that the Rev. Hans
Schmidt, confessed murderer of Anna
Aumuller, and Dr. Ernest Muret, the
priest’s alleged counterfeiting partner,
have been acquainted for a longer time
than Muret admits, has been found, ac
cording to the police.
Dr. Muret has claimed he never knew
Father Schmidt before the latter called
on him last winter to have dental work
done. Today the police have at headquar
ters a promissory note for $300, dated
April 16, 1911, and bearing what pur
ports to be the signature of Dr. Muret,
which was found in the priest’s room in
the rectory of the church of St. Joseph
of the Holy Family yesterday.
The more detectives work in run
ning down the clues of the mysterious
motives of Schmidt the more they be
come convinced that only a minor part
of these activities have been uncov
ered.
Touching on the question of the
priest’s sanity \Villiam J. Flynn, chief
of the United States secret service in
New York, a man with long experience*
with counterfeiters, declared last night
that in all his experience he had never
heard of an insane counterfeiter.

New York. Their registers, however,

that she had already booked passage.

Leaves Sick Bed to
Lose Race With Death
To His Dying Mother
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Receiving
word that his mother was dying in
Summit, N. J., Richard F. Decker, lying
practically helpless on a cot in a New
Haven hospital from injuries received
m the recent wreck o fthe Bar Harbor
express, disregarded his own sufferings
and demanded that he be taken at once
to Summit that he might see his mother
before she died, it proved a losing race,
however. A special train made a fast
run to this city and Decker was trans
ferred to another special on the Jersey
side. As this train reached Summit and
an ambulance was speeding towards the
Decker home it was intercepted by a
friend who broke to Decker the news
that his mother has just died.
THREE CHURCHES OPEN
BIG PUBLICITY BUREAU
(By Associated Press.)
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 18.—A co
operative news bureau operated under
the auspices of the Southern Baptist,
Southern Methodist and Southern Pres
byterian foreign mission boards opened
here today with Mrs. Ida Clyde Clarke,
a local newspaper woman, in charge.
The object is to furnish secular papers
with news of the foreign mission field.
It is an innovation in church work.
Platform Collapses
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., Sept. 18.—A
school room platform on which 800 chil
dren were posing for their pict’^ra today
collapsed, and sixteen pupils were in
jured.
That Leo M. Frank’s motion for a
new trial will not be heard until De
cember, and that then the judge to
grant or deny the famous prisoner an
other hearing will be Judge Benjamin
H. Hill instead of Judge L. S. Roan,
the trial judge, are two important facts
in the case which became public Thurs
day.
Attorney Luther Z. Rosser, leading
counsel for Frank, has been working un
tiringly oh the case, preparing his mo
tion, but it is said that the document
will not be concluded possibly until only
a short time before the date set for the
hearing of {he motion, October 4.
After he has been duly served with
the defense’s motion Solicitor Dorsey
will require at least a month to com
plete his answer.
r lue congested condition of the crim
inal docket makes it certain %that the
solicitor will be in court constantly
during the month of October, and will
have little opoprtunity of working on
any except the cases which are brought
before the court daily. The number
01 jail felony cases now pending breaks
all records and it is essential that the
solicitor devote his time to clearing the
j"il just as. soon as he can secure a
judge to preside in the criminal divi
sion. This will be October 1, when
Judge Hill leaves his place as chief
justice of the court of appeals and
commences his work as a jildge of the
superior court • of Fulton county. •
Judge. Roan on October 1 becomes a
judge of the court of appeals, and as
such he will not hear, it is authorita
tively said, the motion for a new trial
for Frank despite the fact that he was
the trial judge. The hearing of the mo
tion will automatically fall upon the
shoulders of Judge Hill.
Although Attorney Rosser refuses to
forecast the probable time of the com
pletion of hjs motion, attorneys gener
ally state that owing to the voluminous
record of the Frank trial, that an at
torney would sarcely be expected to
complete such a motion in the time that
will have elapsed from the end of the
Frank trial to the date set for the hear
ing of the motion. However, regardless
of whether or not the defense asks for
additional time in preparing the motion
it is certain that the solicitor will ask
that the hearing be postponed and un
der the circumstances there is little
probability that his plea for additional
time will be denied by the court.
A court order will then be issued,
staying indefinitely the day of the exe
cution of Frank .which has been set for
October 10.
That the defense will charge that
fhiich of the evtdehc<T introduced at the
trial was procured through the “third
degree” is certain. Only Wednesday at
torneys for the defense secured from
the solicitor the original affidavit made
the detectives by Minola McKnight, the
Selig cook. It is remembered that the
negress repudiated the affidavit on the
witness stand, declaring that it was ex-
tarted from her by the city detectives.
The court of appeals only recently in
a decision written by Judge Hill, who
will be on the superior court bench
when the motion is tried,, declared that
testimony secured through 'the third
degree was valueless in a court, and
could not legally be admitted.

THE PROSPERITY MEASLES
JAPANESE GOVERNMENT
' IS GETTING RESTLESS
Viscount Chinde Has Engage
ment to Talk Things Over
With Mr, Wilson
% (By Associated Press.) •
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1*8.—Viscount
Chinda, the Japanese ambassador, had
ar engagement with President Wilson
today to discuss the California alien
land law. He has had several confer
ences with Secretary^ Bryan, but no
answer has been made to the fourth
Japanese note sent two weeks ago, and
the Tokio government, contending with
elements attacking: the ministry, not
only for its difficulties with China but
with the United States as well, is said
to be growing restive under the delay.
Counselor John Bassett Moore, who
framed the previous notes to Japan, is
away on a vacation and is not expected
back until next week. Today’s confer
ence with President Wilson, however,
has been generally interpreted in of
ficial circles here as the result of pres
sure upon Ambassador Chinda from the
home government to get definite word as
to when a reply is to be expected and
to hasten the progress of the negotia
tions.

LONDON, Sept. 18.—Fire, probably of
incendiary origin, today destroyed The

Waltham Cross, belonging to Admiral
Sir Edworth Lambton-Meux. The man

WASHINGTON. Sept. 18.—Friends of
Representative F. O. Lindquist, of Mich
igan, today are laughing over the con-
ressman’s discomfiture at the White
House yesterday when he called to so
licit President Wilson’s aid in a fight for
“pure” materials in shoes and clothing.
Mr. Lindquist was stopped by secret
service men, who thought the satchel he
carried and which contained samples of
leather and cloth, actually contained an
infernal machine or a bomb.
“What have you there?” demanded
two of the guardians, not recognizing
the congressman, “come on now, open
up the package.”
Indignantly, Mr. Lindquist protested,
but he was forced to disclose a colJlec-
tion of material that resembled the
contents of a woman bargain hunter’s
shopping bag. Then, with apologies, he
was permitted to enter the executive
office.
“Next time I’ll carry my samples in
an open work hamper,” said the Michi
gan representative. “No more experi
ences of that kind for me.”

Race Apparently Lies Between
Col, C, E, Adams and

Red Cross Appeals For

' (By A$»«el«,ted Press.)" ^
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 18.*
Election of officers by the Grand Army
of the Republic in forty-seventh annual
encampment here and by the Sons of
Veterans, probably will take place today.
Caucuses were held late into the night
by both organizations. While several
candidates will appear on the first bal
lot in the G. A. R. election, indications
are that the selection of a commander-
in-chief to succeed General Alfred B.
Beers will be between Colonel C. R.
Adams, of Superior, Neb., and Washing
ton Gardner, of Michigan. Supporters
of each of these two candidates were
freely predicting victory this morning.
An equally spirited contest is being
waged by members of the Sons of Vet
erans. John E. Sauteer, of Pittsburg,
Pa., and C. S. Scott, of San Francisco,
will be the principal candidates for
commander-in-chief, according to pledged
votes announced in caucuses last
night.
A steady downpour of rain, which
continued throughout the night, .was
still in evidence today. ' For this reason
the foot race between Union veterans
from seven states and a Confederate vet
eran will be held in a big tent erected
in the heart of the city.
The entries for the two races on the
program—one a distance of 100 yards,
and the other three miles, follow: Colo
nels H. Smith, Detroit, Mich.; C. W.
Howe, Port Huron, Mich.; William A.
Heinschon, Cleveland, Ohio; J. J. Rus-
ser, Indianapolis; Jere M. Clayton,
Georgia; T. W. Brainard, Ohio; S. C.
Barnes, of Pittsburg, Pa.; W. C. Allen,
Kentucky, and Meredith Wolfe, of Chat
tanooga, a Confederate veteran. The
youngest contestant in the list of entries
is sixty-eight years old.
Enforcement of an order excluding
women and civilians from the forty^sev-
enth annual Grand Army of the Repub
lic parade today prevented the N. B.
Forrest camp of Uhited Confederate
veterans from participating in the pag
eant. Clad in their gray uniforms the
southerners were preparing to form in
line of march with Forsythe post No. 15,
of Toledo, Ohio, when the order was ex
ecuted.
An invitation to join in the parade had
been tendered to Colonel L. T. Dickin
son, commander of the Forrest camp, by
Colonel Henry N. Hanson, commander
of the Forsythe post. As the Confed
erate veterans passed along the line of
soldiers in blue to the location of the
Fprsythe post they were greeted with
cheers by the Union veterans.
Just when they were ready to take
their places Colonel Hanson informed
Colonel Dickinson that the commander
of the department of Ohio, Colonel W.
R: Warnock, had been instructed to bar
every one from the parade except Union
veterans. Colonel Hanson expressed
deep regret over the incident. The Con
federate veterans also appeared dis
tressed, but as they marched quietly
back to their headquarters they were
given another ovation by the Union vet
erans.
Laughed at Straw
Hat; Is Arrested
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Scoffing at
the appearance of a straw hat is as bal
as smashing it in derisive objection ai
this time of year, in the opinion of the
local police court. George Smith, yes
terday a care free citizen, but today a
dazed and nervous man, discovered this
truth from the lips of Police Judge
Mulloway. Smith jeered at the head-
gear of a large man who wore No. 12
shoes and who chanced to be a police
man off duty and out of uniform.
Smith was arrested. When arraigned
Judge Mulloway lectured him severely
and then let him off, but he issued a
solemn warning to others that any crit
icism of the straw hat in future would
be visited by condign punishment.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—As an in
direct appeal for funds for the relief
of the suffering thousands in Bulgaria,
the Red Cross today made public a let
ter it had received from Lieutenant
General Nelson A. Miles, in which he
portrays the horrors that have attended
the Balkan war. Starvation, inadequate
hospital service and absence of medical
stores are among the calamities Bul
garians are facing. In one field, General
Miles declared he saw 4,000 wounded
men lying without shelter from the sun
or rain.
General Miles recommended that

IE TAFT
OF YALE LAW SCHOOL
Jeptha Rucker Nominated to
Succeed Present Incumbent,
William Fleming
BT RALPH SMITH. ^
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 18.—The
fight on William Fleming, postmaster
at Athens for the past eight or ten
years was practically ended yesterday
afternoon when Postmaster General
Burleson requested Fleming to submit
his resignation and at the same time
called upon Congressman Tribble to
recommend a suitable person for the
vacancy. Mr.’ Tribble immediately
forwarded to the department the name
of Jeptha Rucker, one of the well
known citizens of Athens, and his nom
ination will be sent to the senate with
in a few days.
The term for which Fleming was last
appointed does not expire until August
21, 1915. The salary of the office is
$3,100. The action of the postmaster
general in requesting Fleming's res
ignation follows a recent inspection of
the postoffice by agents of the depart
ment. In the opinion of the inspectors
the charges of favoritism and discrim
ination which was lodged against Flem
ing 'were substantiated and the post
master general regarded them suffi
ciently serious to warrant his displace
ment.
Congressman Tribble was pleased with
the turn the case took following the in
vestigation. He had sought steadily and
consistently to have Fleming displaced
as postmaster at Athens. He has been
convinced that Fleming has sought as
postmaster to perpetuate the policies in
stituted in the office by his immedi
ate predecessor, Pink Morton, who
was removed by President Roosevelt.
The congressman has been especially
displeased with the fact that a major
ity of the carriers in the office are
negroes, and that Democrats have been
discriminated against by Fleming.
The Athens postoffice has been a live
issue in Georgia for many years, at odd
times, and Mr. Tribble has been promi
nently identified with all efforts to re
store conditions to a satisfactory basis.
Mat Davis, a negro, was appointed
postmaster at Athens by President Har
rison and later Pink Morton, also col
ored, succeeded him. The citizens of
Athens and Clark county were loud in
their protests against Morton, and Trib
ble, then a private citizen, headed a
delegation of people who visited Pres
ident McKinley to insist upon the re
moval of Morton. No action was taken
by McKinley, however, and Morton was
not removed until Roosevelt became
president.

lision with a whale caused such serious
damage to the Danish steamer Wlad-
mir Reitz that the vessel was "forced to

court for the trial of the Impeachment
of William Sulzer, governor of New
York state, held Its first session today.
Organization was perfected and ad- .
Journment was taken until tomorrow
morning In order to permit the draft
ing of rules and methods of procedure
to be followed during the remainder of
the trial.
As had been expected, counsel for the
Impeached governor objected to the sen
ators who served on the Frawley com
mittee, which unearthed much of the
evidence resulting in the Impeachment,
sitting In judgment upon the governor.
They also objected to Senator Wagner,
acting lieutenant governor, becoming a
member of the court. Notwithstanding
these objections the senators were sworn

Noon was the hour appointed for con
vening of the court, but several thou
sand persons thronged the capital build
ing and grounds before 9 o’clock, hop
ing to gain admittance to the senate
chamber, the scene of the trial.
Owing to the small seating capacity of
the senate galleries most of the crowd
was doomed to disappointment Not more
than 300 seats were available, of which
fifty were reserved for newspaper men.
Forestalling possibility of any at
tempt to rush the chamber, the senate
sergeant-at-arms and his staff were re-
lnfoiced by a heavy platoon i; city po
lice.
Rooming house owners reaped a small
harvest from the crowd that poured
Into the city last night and today. Long
before the night trains came in .rum
New York bearing scores of politicians
and sightseers, every available room
had been taken at downtown hotels, and*
those without reservations were forced
to go to private houses to find accom
modations.

today were Alton B. Parker, former
chief judge of the court of appeals; J 'hr.
B. Stanchfleld,, Edgar T. Brackett, Eu
