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.

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- (By Associated Press.) 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.

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. POLICE THINK NEGRO E SLAYER They Hope Through Arrest to Find Miss Leegson’s ■ Murderer .

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.
