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. Scotland Yard'Thinks It Knows Dr, Muret (By Associated Press.) LONDON, Sept. 18.—Scotland Yards’ authorities have no record of Dr. Er nest Muret, the dentist arrested at New York.

DATE FOR FRANK’S NEW TRIAL REARING TO BEPDSTPONED Convicted Man Will Not Hang , This Year, as Motion for New Trial Will Be Pat Off From October 4 to December MRS. PANKHURST TO SAIL FOR AMERICA Militant Saff Doesn't Think the United States Will Debar Her Entrance (By Associated Press.) PARIS, Sept. 18.—Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, leader of the British militant suffragettes, in a statement here yes terday, declared she will "positively sail for America on October 11.” She added that she had already booked passage. “I don’t believe that American immi gration authorities will detain me and certainly not for long,” she continued. “I am not the least afraid of deporta tion and will not resort to any subter fuge to gain admission to the country. 'I will sail under my own name and am convinced I will receive fair play. I have much faith in the open-minded ness of the people of America. As soon as I finish my lectures in America I shall return' to England to resume my work.” 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. ah' oo% f!^ if n <r p oc. fa fSlLL 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. Secret Service Men Hold Up Congressman, Who Carried “Bomb” Fire That Destroyed Theobalds Park Probably Was of in cendiary Origin (By Associated Press.) LONDON, Sept. 18.—Fire, probably of incendiary origin, today destroyed The obalds park, a beautiful mansion at Waltham Cross, belonging to Admiral Sir Edworth Lambton-Meux. The man sion, together with a large fortune, was bequeathed to Admiral Lambton by the late Lady Meux on the condition that he take the name of Meux. The loss is estimated at $500,000. (By Astociated Press.) 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.” G.

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.

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. Dean Rogers’ Appointment to Judgeship'Leaves Deanship Vacant (By Associated Press.)
