THOUSANDS ATTEND
IL
In Forty-Minute Speech Geor
gian Says Solution of Prob
lem Is in Postal Savings
Young and Old Gather by
Thousands to Take Small
Parts in Public Funeral of
Bank System
Late Mayor of New York
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Congress
man William Schley Howard today ad
dressed the house on the postal savings
bank system of the nation as a means
of transferring the bonded indebtedness
of the government from the national
banks to the people. He spoke for fort,
minutes by unanimous consent, and was
given an attentive hearing. Some of
his utterances provoked applause.
The Atlanta congressman declarea
that the greatest problem confronting
*the framers of the administration cur
rency bill, which passed the house re-
■ cently, related to the proposed retire-'
• rcent of the $742,000,000 of government
12 per cent bonds now held by the
banks and used by them as a basis of
national bank circulation. He stated
that in his opinion the problem is not
solved by the currency bill, by the
simple and absurd expediency of retir
ing the 2 per cent bonds with an is
sue of 3. He said that the ques
tion would never be settled properly
until the bonded debt is distributed
with, the people in small amounts.
The congressman asserted that the
best means of distributing the bond
ed debt rK the nation among the peo
ple would be to remove the restric
tions and limitations that now en
cumber the postal savings bank sys
tem. Ho saici if the proper facilities
were offered by the government, these
banks would grow rapidly and serve a
very useful purpose, by accumulating
billions in savings of the people.
"If my ideas are adopted,” sain
Howard, *T believe firmly that tne*
government will be benefited.”
WILSON’S PEN HEADY
TO SISN HIP BILL
Senator Hoke Smith Assures
President It Will Be Passed
Up This Week
(By Associated Fress.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-—Disputed
points between the senate and house
In the tariff, bill have narrowed down
to such chief features as the income
tax, tfte; tax '-tm—cotton 'futures 1 -and the-
general administrative provisions. Dem
ocratid managers expected to send the
conference report to the house by Thurs
day.
President -Wilson told callers today
that his conference with leaders led
him to believe all differences will be
smoothed out and he would sign the bill
this week.
"I’ve got ray pen sharpened,” said the
president.
Chairman Simmons, of the senate fin
ance committee, and Senator Ho«ce
Smith assured President Wilson today
that t£cy expected the bill to be ready
for bis signature before the end of the
week. The last moments of the passage
of a tariff pleasure, however, always
offer opportunity for rejection of a con
ference report and further deliberations
on points upon which either house may
insist.
Democratic leaders from the* south are
said to be agreed on the cotton future
tax compromise proposed by Represent
ative Lever and indorsed by Postmaster
General Burleson and Seantor Hoke
Smith. Instead of the high Clarke tax,
it proposes a smaller tax on cotton for
which the government has fixed stand
ards:
The cotton exchange men are protest
ing against it.
Chairman Simmons said he had not
discussed the cotton future tax with the
juesident but indicated the senate man
agers would not yield to the house on
their amendment.
With consideration of the income tax
section today the senate's amendment
lowering the minimum exemption from
$4,000 to $3,000 allowances for depend
ent wives and children and larger taxes
on great incomes came up for settle
ment.
Chairman Alexander, of the house
merchant marine committee, with. Rep
resentatives Jones, of Virginia; Smith,
of North Carolina, and McGillicuddy, of
Maine, asked the president to favor
an amendment to the tariff bill giving
a 5 per cent discount in duties to im
ports in vessels wholly built In the
United States, no matter where owned.
A house provision for a 5 per cent
discount for goods in American-owned
Bhips was struck out by the senate on
the protests of many foreign govern
ments that it was a discrimination in
violation of their treaties. The presi
dent did not commit himself, but indi
cated that if the new amendment did
not conflict with treaty rights be would
favor it.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—The body of
Mayor Gaynor was taken at 10:30 o’clock
this morning from its resting place in
the city hall to Trinity church where
Bishop Greer read over it the solemn
Episcopal service for the burial of the
dead.
An army of citizens, many thousand's
strong—greater ifi number that the
throng which had gazed on the body as
it lay in state yesterday—covered the
side-walk from curb to building line
as the funeral train crept along the
ten blocks pf Lower BroadwAv from the
city hall to the chyrch.
As the coffin passed between the
two walls of spectators, held to the
curb by an unbroken line of police, every
man bared his head and only the blue
capped patrolmen remained covered. Of
these there were 5,000- in the line of
march or on duty along the way of the
funeral train.
The twelve honorary pallbearers,
headed by William II. Taft, marched
six on each side of the coffin. Behind
them came - official committees of the
city, two companies of city hall police : —
men who had come in daily contact with
the mayor during his lifetime—and the
long train of organizations and indi
viduals chosen from many who applied
for places in the funeral traiin. More
than 50,000 had wanted to bo in line,
but in accord with Mrs. Gay nor’s wishes
for as simple services and little display
as possible, less than half the number
were permitted to participate.
The city’s industries marked time
during the funeral services.
The order of the procession, following
the police escort was as follows:
The catafalque, with the honorary
pallbearers, former President William Id.
Taft, Robert Adamson, Police Commis
sioner Rhinelander Waldo, Jacob H.
Schiff, Herman Ridder. James Creelman,

DUBLIN, Ga., Sept. 22.—Cotton pick
ing has been delayed the past week on

NEW' YORK, Sept. 22.—Three persons
were killed and twenty injured early to
day in a head-on crash of two "Dong
Island railroad electric trains at Col
lege Point, Long Island. Of the injured,
one will die. The dead arc:
CONDUCTOR GEORGE BORCKEL.
MOTORMAN FRED LODER.
MOTORMAN CHARLES HOHLIEN.
Most of the injured were mill* em
ployes on their way to work. The trains,
running forty miles an hour, rounded a
curve near the station from opposite
directions, and the crash was inevir
table. The steel cars buckled, but did
not telescope. This fact doubtless
saved inany< lives.
A hotel near the scene and a number
of residences nearby were thrown open
for use as emergency hospitals. Many
ambulance* and a corps of physicians
were summoned to the scene.
The Pennsylvania railroad issued a
statement saying the accident had been
caused, so far as could be determined,
by the negligence • of the operator at
Whitestonc Junction, who allowed the
train bound for 'New York to leave the
double track before the other train had
cleared. The road’s statement placed
the total number of injured at forty.
OFFICERS DOUBT STORY
OF CONFESSED MURDERER
(By Associated Press.)
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.—Phila
delphia police officials were not pre
pared today to say that Jacob Wolf-
sohn, who says he killed Anna Catha
rine Schumacher in a cemetery at Roch
ester, N. Y„ four years ago, is telling
the truth. Captain Cameron, head ot
th e detective bureau, said the story the
prisoner tola seemed to bear out de
tails of the crime as known here, but
the doubts thrown around Wolfsohn’s
tale* by the Rochester authorities has
caused the detectives here to with
hold any opinion as to his guilt.
Wolfsohn, accused of larceny and
forcible entry, faces a prison term' here,
if the charges are sustained. The .po
lice believe the only motive Wolfsohn
could have for confessing he killed the
girl, if his story proves untrue, is that
he might escape a prison sentence here
if taken to New York state and there
cleared of a murder charge.
Sheriff Hamil and District Attorney
Barrett arrived here today from Roch
ester to investigate Wolfsohn’s story.
Close guard is being kept over the pris
oner since his alleged attempt at sui
cide last night.

or anything requiring fire is carried on
the Sachsen, because of the danger of
gas explosion, so the tea, milk, water
and toast had to be taken up already
warmed.

Inquest Over Girl’s Death
Starts Tuesday-Alienist Ex
amines Schmidt
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—The panel for
the coroner’s inquest into the death of
Anna Aumuller, slain by "Father” Hans
Schmidt and her body cut up and cast
into,..the Hudson river, will be drawn
tomorrow. Coroner Feinberg and the
district attorney consulted today • re
garding the composition ot the jury and
the evidence it will be asked to con
sider. The coroner said he hoped to
obtain a jury of bankers, merchants,
manufacturers and professional men.
The detective bureau today promised
further disclosures regarding the career
of Schmndt and Ernest Muret, his friend
and perhaps a relative. Muret, who prac
ticed dentistry without a certificate, is
held under a charge of having in hi*
possession a dangerous weapon, while
the police gather evidence to support
their belief that he helped Schmidt make
counterfeit money. Much of Muret’s
past life is now an open book. The
police have evidence that he lived in
Hamburg and Berlin as Arthur Heibing
and that warrants are outstanding
against him in those cities for swind
ling.
The alienist who examined Schmidt
in his cell yesterday said that while
he was not prepared to pronounce the
prisoner insane, Schmidt was exhausted
both mentally and physically.
Big Game Hunting
In Maine Rather
Expensive Sport
(By Associated Press.)
BANGOR, Me., Sept. 22.—Sportsmen
coming to Maine to hunt big game this
fall will find that the high cost of living
has been succeeded by a high#cost of
killing because the state will charge $25
each for licenses to shoot moose and
deer, while heretofore the prices have
been $15.
The moose hunting season has also
been curtailed from six weeks to one
month. In past years it has extended
from October 15 to December 1, but now
will be confined to the thirty days of
November minus Sundays. It is said by
woodsmen that moose have increased in
number the past year.
THAW CASE RIVALED BY

duras?
MONTGOMERY 1 , Ala., Sept. 22.—One
day Harry K. Thaw is the subject of
discussing in Alabama. Another it is
Theo Lacy. It was Thaw Friday and
Lacy Saturday. #The name of the form
er chief clerk of the state convict de
partment who is alleged to have left
Alabama hurriedly last March with
$117,000 of state funds was brought
up yesterday by Governor O'Neal’s an
nouncement that he had asked the sec
retary of state, William J. Bryan, about
America’s extradition treaties with
Spanish Honduras.
Reports for several days have been
that Lacy is in Honduras. Governor
O’Neal had regarded the reports as mere
Idle discussion but decided to gather in
formation for use in the event it were
established that Lacy had really reach
ed Honduras. Lacy has been flaying
hide and seely with Burns detectives
for months and to date Lacy has been
I doing all the hiding and the detectives
the seeking.
Harry K. Thaw' was discussed Friday
because New York attorneys asked
Governor O’Neal for information about
the moving of lunatics and persons de
clared insane by law.
Mercury Reached 46 Degrees
Here, but Bureau Says High
Wind Saved Cotton
According to the local weather bu
reau there was not enough frost any
where in Georgia last night to do any
damage to the cotton crop. .A minimum
temperature of 40 degrees was reached
but the high wind which prevailed all
day Sunday, dried out the atmosphere # to
such an extent that there could have
beep very little frost, says the weather
bureau.
Passengers coming in on the train
from Athens Monday morning reported
that some frost was seen but that it
was very light. At the weather bureau
it wate stated that no frost had been
reported from any point in the state
to that office.
The forecast for Monday night is
warmer. The temperature will not go
below 50 Monday night and there is no
chance of frost, says the Atlanta weath
er bureau. This announcement will be
reassuring as there is much cotton in
the state that could be seriously dam
aged by a severe frost at this time.
Reports of a rather heavy frost along
the line of the Southern railway betweei
Atlanta and Toccoa were reported Mon
day to State Agricultural Commissioner
Price by a resident of Gainesville.
There may have been frost in other
portions of the state, but Mr. Price had
not heard of any more at 2 o’clock, he
said.
“The frost in northeast Georgia will
affect the top crop of cotton undoubt
edly,’’ said Mr. Price. "The newest
bolls will not mature if the frost did
strike them.’’

the latter on the bridge promenade and
leaping off the railing in sight of the
Sunday britfge crowds before a police
man who ran for him could get near
him.

FIGHTS FOR FREEDOM
Extradition Hearing Comes Up
Before Governor Felker
This Week
(By Associated Press.)
CONCORD, N. H., Sept. 22.—The scene
of the litigation over Harry Kendall
Thaw shifts this week to the century-
old Hampshire capitol just across the
street from the hotel where the Mattea-
wan fugitive has been sheltered since
last Wednesday. Governor Felker ar
rived today to make final arrangements
for the extradition hearing before him
tomorrow.
Pending the arrival of William T. Je
rome, special attorney general of New
York, the petitioner, nothing will be
made known concerning the arguments
in support of the extradition petition.
None of the New York authorities was
here this forenoon.
The place for holding the hearing was
one of the matters to be decided by
Governor Felker today. Two rooms have
been suggested, one the senate chamber
and the other the hall of reprsentativs.
The senate chamber seats fifty comfort
ably, but this number could be doubled
to meet an emergency. Those in author
ity believe the attendance should be
limited to counsel and newspaper men.
Should the hearing be public, it probably
would be held in the hall of represent
atives, where there is room for 1,000
persons.
Foreign Potatoes Put
Under Ban in Effort
To Keep Out Disease
(By Associated Press./
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—To prevent
the introduction into the United States
of a dangerous potato disease known as
potato wart, potato canker or black
scab, the federal horticultural board has
decided to continue indefinitely the quar
antine against potato importations
from the British Isles, Germany, Aus
tria-Hungary, New Foundland and the
French islands at the mouth of the St.
Lawrence river, St. Pierre and Miquelen.
The London bureau of agriculture re
cently, through the British embassy,
asked that this quarantine be raised or
modified, but the horticultural board has
ruled against a change in the regula
tions.
The board declares that the present
condition of the 1913 potato crop In the
United States is more promising, and
that indications are no importations of
potatoes from abroad will be required
this winter.

CURRENCY TO COMMITTEE
Suggests Amendments, but
Says He Is in Favor of Basic
Principles of Bill
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Samuel
TJntermyer, counsel for the house mon
ey trust investigation of the last con
gress, gave his ideas on currency re
form today to the senate banking com
mittee. Mr. Untermyer indorsed gener
ally the principles of the administration
currency bill passed by the house last
week, but suggested a number of
amendments.
"I wish it understood," said Mr. Un-
termyer, "that I am an unqualified
champioh of the principles on which
this bill is based—that is, an asset cur
rency, issued through the banks as a
government obligation and under con
trol of the government. But I believe
the bill is overgenerous to the bankers
in freeing them from complications."
Mr. Untermyer criticised adversely
the provisions allowing bankers to deal
in acceptances given for the exporta
tion or importation of goods.
‘This is a discrimination," he said,
"against domestic business, and would
make money cheaper to men in foreign
trade than to domestic merchants."
BUNK ROBINSON TO HANG
IN PUTNAM OCTOBER 31
For Second Time in Forty
Years County Will Have
Legal Execution
EATONTON, Ga., Sqpt. 22.—After
breaking a more than forty-year record
with a double hanging last May. Putnam
has another legal execution scheduled
for October 31, according to the verdict
of a jury -in the case of Bunk Robinson,
found guilty of killing Lawson Scott, a
Hotel Putnam porter for many years,
last April.
The alleged murder was committed
under unusually brutal circumstances,
an<j it is not believed that the prison
commission, or Governor Slaton will in-
terfere with the verdict at the ocurt.
Evidence showed that RobinsoA care
fully planned the murder, and after
isafely locating his victim hurried up
town and bought a black cap to further
conceal himself in the dark, unfortun
ately stating a part of his plans to the
merchant who testified against him. He
then went clear across town to his
home, it is said, secured his gun and
poking it into his victim’s collar as he
passed him in the dark, shot him to
death, it is allleged.

BY EALFH SMITH
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—After two
Democrats had obtained unanimous con
sent to address the house today Repub
licans and Bull Moosers requested
similar permission, but objections
came from the Democratic side. The
Republicans and Bull Moosers were an
gered, and Representative Murdock
served notice that he would allow
nothing to proceed by unanimous con
sent.
Thereupon Judge Adamson, or
Georgia, one of the best-liked men in
the house, restored good feeling by
making the facetious request that
"unanimous consent be granted for one
stand-patter and one Bull Mooser to
address the house for ten minutes each,
and make harmless remarks on unim
portant subjects.”
When the laughter subsided Con
gressman Howard began the delivery
of his speech.
