LOAN OF 119,000,000
Appeals Directly to People
When Congress Refuses
Act
(By Associated Press.)
HAVANA, Cuba, Oct. 23.—Because of
the refusal of congress to convene in
extraordinary session to consider the
presidential message urgently recom
mending' a new foreign loan of $15.-
000,000 President Menocal today issued
a public appeal, delaring- he may be
compelled to have recourse to extraor
dinary measures in the event of con
tinued obstinacy on the part of con
gress.
President Menocal says:
“I have been compelled to address the
people of the republic directly, by rea
son of the gravest confusion in public
affairs produced by the lack of a quo
rum in both houses of congress, where
by the working of all departments of
the government has been paraylzed.
The people should understand the char
acter of this most lamentable confute
and be prepared for what may result
from it.”
The president explains then that the-
urgencj' of the loan is caused by the
necessity of paying off the indebted
ness incurred by the previous liberal
administration.
RULING MADE AGAIN ON
LOAN OF U. S. PROPERTY
WASHINGTON. Oct. 23.—In conse

the war department for the loan of
government property especially army
tents. Secretary Garrison has called up
on Judge Advocate Crowder to state
anew the law governing such transac
tions. In an opinion, Jfujst made pub
lic, General Crowder points out that pub-
government property may be loaned
without a special act of congress ex
cept to the Grand Army of the Re
public and the United Confederate Vet
erans. Copies of this order will in
future constitute part nf the replies to
private individuals or local or munic
ipal authorities who frequently ask for
tents or other army equipment.

Polk Miller Dies '
At Richmond Home
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 23.—Polk Mil
ler, for twenty years or more a pic
turesque figure at Confederate reunions
with his banjo and his negro dialect
songs, died here last night at the age
of sixty-nine. Mr. Miller was a promi
nent business man of Richmond, but
it was his inimitable tales of the plan
tation and the war and his skill with
the banjo that won him fame. Only a
week ago Mr. Miller was the chief en
tertainer here at a* convention, his
death coming very suddenly.
COUNTERFEITERS’ DEN
RAIDED IN LOUISIANA
(By Associated Press.)
ALEXANDRIA, La., Oct. 23.—What
United States secret service men say
is a first-class counterfeiters’ outfit was
found in the woods near Tioga, La., late
last night.
The “plant” was discovered near the
home of James Cooks, an aged man, and
his son, Selser, who were arrested here
Saturday night and held under another
charge pending investigation. Photo
graphic negatives of $5 and $10 bank
notes were found, the officers say, buried
in a potato patch.
The secret service men say they also
discovered a quantity of finished coun
terfeit money and that it was cleverly
made.

The “I. W. Fisher sensation” has been
exploded in one day through The Jour
nal’s investigation.
Following The Journal’s exposure of
the man’s lurid past Monday his story is
discredited by all those intersted in
the Phagan murder case, and Fisher,
himself is now a prisoner at police head
quarters, held on a warrant charging
him with criminal libel.
The warrant was dravyn late Monday
night by ^ J. C. Shirley, a well-known
furniture dealer of 809 Marietta street,
who was named by Fisher as the man,
wTio should take Leo M. Frank’s place
in the Tower.
ATTORNEYS DON’T BELIEVE STORY.
Fisher has never been vouched for by
the attorneys for Leo M. Frank. They
heard of his wierd story *nd brought
him here to investigate it. Now appar
ently they are through with him, and
Fisher is not expected to figure further
in the Frank case.
The city detectives to whom the man
was turned over Monday afternoon aft
er they had waited for thirty-six hours
in the corridor of Atorney Luther Ross
er’s office, take no scock in his story,
and like the Frank attorneys they are
washing their hands of him.
“Fisher’s sensation” culminated j in a
dramatic incident on .Monday night,
when, after his lengthy examination by
the city detectives Fisher was brought
face to face with J. C. Shirley, in the
presence of a crowd of detectives and
newspaper men.
HIS WIERD STORY.
Fisher repeated his accusation, which
in substance was that he drove to town
on April 26 with Shirley, who was go
ing to meet “Hattie,” as Mary Phagan
was known to them, at the pencil fac
tory; that he held the horse on Marietta
street, while Shirley went to the fac
tory and remained afr hour. When he re
turned, according to Fisher’s story,
Shirley exclaimed: “I have played hell
generally, and you must get out of
town.” They then droVe to the station,
where Shirley’ brought Fisher a ticket,
according to the letter’s story.
There was an air of tense excitement
about the little room at police headquar
ters when Fisher told his story to the
man whom he accuses. Shirley didn’t
interrupt with comments or denials un
til Fisher finished his narrative.
When the man ceased talking, Shir
ley rose from his chair and walking
over to within a few feet nf Fisher,
loked him squarely in the eye, and ex
claimed, “You lie ,you hound—you lie.”
A short time later the warrant
against Fisher, charging criminal libel,
which was drawn in Justice O. H.
Puckett's court was delivered to the
police.
Fisher was then lodged in a state
cell to be held for the justice court,
where his preliminary trial will prob-

CHICAGO, Oct. 23—No longer may en
gineers, conductors, brakemen and other
employes in the operating department of
the Illinois Central railroad carry pic
tures of their wives, sweethearts or j
babies on their watch crystals. An order
against the practice was issued yester
day and distributed today by the man
agement.
"Officials of the company have decided
such pictures are likely to distract the
attention of employes from their work,
and that accidents might result. When
an employe pulls out his watch Tiis at
tention should be devoted exclusively to
the time, they say. The order also speci
fies plain dials of a uniform design.

ably be staged on Wednesday morn
ing.
Mr. Shirley and Charles J. Graham,
his attorney, were in conference with
Chief of Detectives Lanford early Tues
day morning.
Attorney Graham then stated that he
expected to push the criminal libel
charge against Fisher.
“The man,” he said, “is either insane
or he is a criminal. He should certainly
be in an asylum or a penitentiary.”
The attorney asserted that he is mak
ing a vigorous investigation of “the
origin” of Fisher’s story.
“Certain things about the incident,”
he asserted, “indicate a conspiracy, but
we will have to make a more exhaustive
investigation before such a charge is
made. Of course if there has been a
conspiracy to besmirch Mr. Shirley's
name, we want those responsible for it
punished.”
It was learned Tuesday afternoon that
Attorney Graham was still investigating
the suggestion that there had been a
conspiracy against Mr. Shirley.
'Rumors to the effect that Mr. Gra
ham intended to take the Fisher case
before the grand jury could not be con
firmed. Solicitor General Hugh M. Dor
sey stated Tuesday afternoon that Mr.
Graham had not communicated with
him at all in regard to the matter.

This contest Is restricted to people residing In the states
of Georgia, Aalabma, North and South Carolina, Florida and
Mississippi.
A payment on subscription to The Atlanta Journal of
from $1.10 to $0.00 for the Daily and Sunday edition, or
from $1.00 to $0.00 for the Semi-Weekly edition of The
Journal, entitles a contestant to submit a solution of the
puzzle. The amount of money paid will cover the subscrip
tion price for the paper, according to the regular rate,
whether for city delivery or by mail.
AS MANY DIFFERENT S0LUX1ONB MAY BE SUBMIT-
TED AS THE CONTESTANT DESIRES. UPON SUBMIT-
TING AN ADDITIONAL PA YMENT WITH EACH ONE
BUT NOT MORE THAN $6.00 CAN BE PAID WITH ANY
ONE SOLUTION.
It is not necessary to pay the same amount with each

subscription with the winning solution, contestants should
familiarize themselves with the divitienrt schedule bpfpi.
sending in their subscription and solution.
Remit by check, money order, registered letter or In one
or two-cent stamps. Solutions unaccompanied by cash sub
scriptions will not be registered. The contest is open to
both old and new subscribers within the territory designated.
Whatever is paid, whether on one or a number of solu
tions, will apply on a continuous subscription to The At
lanta Journal.
Deciding Ties
In case of a tie. a second puzzle will be presented. This
puzzle will be practicable and solvable. Only those tied will
be permitted to solve puzzle No. 2. No money will have to
accompany the solution. The second puzzle will be printed
but once, and those tied will have a week in which to solve
it. Mail subscribers*at a distance, if tied, will be allowed
a week from the time they receive the second puzzle, the
time to be determined by postmarks.
In case of another tie, a third puzle. also perfectly solv
able, will be presented. It will be subject to the same con
ditions as the second. The second and third puzzles will
only be used In case of a tie. Their purpose will be merely
to decide ties, so that in the event there Is no tie, the prizes
will be awarded without having to divide them or without
resorting to chance.
However, only three puzzles will be presented, and in the
seemingly Impossible event of still another tie, the prizes, or
their equivalent In cash, will be equally divided.
If there are no ties, there will be only one puzzle.
No prizes will be distributed until the contest is finally
decided.
Special Conditions
Should there be any ties, us many prizes wil be reserved
as there are people tied before any prizes are awarded to
Lhose sending less correct solutions. That Is, if two people
tied on the absolutely correct answer, they would have to
count the second puzzle to determine which was entitled to
the first prize, and which to.the second prize. Then tfle one
who sent the next best answer would be entitled to tbe third.
This rule will * apply generally.
While the winning of a prize does not depend upon the
time solution was registered, the puzzle is more or
less elusive, and the best thing to do is to begin counting
at once. Send In your solution, and if you find later you
have made a mistake, send In another. There is no limit to
the number of different solutions that may be registered.
All those entering the contest will, as condition and con
sideration, be required to abide by the ruling of the Con
test Manager. In the event of any question arising, the
Puzzle Manager, if he deems 11 wise, may appoint a com
mittee to assist him in deciding them, and those entering
the contest do so with the understanding that such decision
will be final.
THE PROBLEM
The*problem is to count the circles. Every circle is com
plete and intersects or touches one or more other circfts.
There are no parts of* circles or shams or deceptions of any
sort in the puzzle. In the ev°nt that no one counts the ex
act number the prizes will be awarded for the nearest cor
rect solution. Accuracy and patience are the main requisites
for arriving at the correct, or nearest correct, count. Those
■who display these qualifications to the best advantage will
solve the puzzle best.
