MRS. NELMS HAS
SEARCH MADE OF
. WOMAN’S EFFECTS
Famous Mystery Case Feat
ured by Warrant Taken to
Visit Quartets of Ennis’ Sis
ter, Mrs. St. Claire
t -
Atlanta's famous Nelms mystery, un
solved today despite the fact that more
than three years have passed since
Beatrice Nelms and Mrs. Lois Nelma
Dennis disappeared, bobbed up again
Thursday, when Mrs. Lillie Nelms
caused a search to be conducted of the
rooms of Mrs. Jessie St. Claire, in the
hope that a clue would be found to her
daughter's fate.
Mrs. St. Clair is the sister of Victor
K Ennis, who was convicted of larceny
after trust in connection with the mys
terious disappearance and who is now
serving a term in the Fulton county
chaingang, while his wife it at the state
prison farm in Milledgeville.
Mrs. St. Cai re. the "woman In black"
who visited Ennis while he was in the
Fulton county tower, and for some time
past she has been living with Ennis’s
little son. Cecil, eleven years old, at
33S Peachtree street.
According to Mrs. Nelms, she had
been informed that Mrs. St. Claire had
been wearing jewelry that corresponded
to similar articles worn by Mrs Nelm's
daughter. Lois Nelms Dennis.
So Mrs. Nelms swore out a search
warrant in Judge Hathcock's division
of the municipal court, and. accompan
ied by Deputy Sheriffs Bazemore and
McKenzie and Deputy Marshalls Green
and Head, went to 388 Peachtree street
Thursday afternoon.
There, state the officers, they had a
rathVr difficult time. Mrs. St. Claire
would not allow them Co enter her room,
they say. until they threatened to break
down her door with an axe.
For four hours the deputies searched
Mrs St. Claire's room without avail.
The articles named by Mrs Nelms In
the warrant consisted of a cluster ring
formed of four diamonds and an opal,
a twin diamond ring, some silverware
and a little clothing.
None of these was found in Mrs. St.
Claire's room, but the deputies did find
a s.lk parasol that Mrs. Nelms declared
resembled one that had belonged to
Beatrice. The parasol could not be
taken away because it was not named
in the warrant.
The deputites returned to the court
house and got a warrant from Judge
Ben Hill to search Mrs. St. Claire's per
son This was done by Mrs. Wiggins,
matron at police headquarters. BUt
neither on Mrs. St. Claire’s person nor
on th* person of the little boy, who was
also searched, could any of the lost
articles be found.

BABBAGE FIHE SENT
AGAINST AIRPLANES
IN MID ON LONDON
German Planes Cross Channel
and Drop Bombs in North
east and Southeastern Dis
tricts of London
LONDON, Sept. 30.—‘Hostile airplanes
raided London again tonight. An offi
cial communication from the home of
fice on the latest raid, says:
“Hostile airplanes crossed the coasts
of Kent and Essex in groups between
8 and 9 o’clock. Several attacks were
made upon London and some bombs were
dropped in the northeast and southeast
ern districts. Bombs w’ere also dropped
at various places in Kent and Essex. No
reports of casualties have yot been re
ceived. ”
London's warning of an Impending
raid was given quickly by policemen rid
ing through the streets with ’’take
cover" signs on their breasts, and every
one hurried to shelter. Soon the distant
roar of guns was heard. Then the ex
plosions of guns and the crack of shrap
nel bursting in the air came nearer. The
flash of the bursting shells in the night
was incessant. From all directions the
defense guns boomed.
Mingled with the sound of the guns
the whirring cf Gothas was heard over
head. Bombs began to drop, as could be
told by their peculiar explosion. The
fire of the anti-aircraft guns seemed
heavier than on any previous raids, and
It was obvious that barrages were be
ing thrown up to defeat the purpose of
the raiders. At this time it appears that
the barrages at least prevent the raid
ers from having their own way.
British Bring Down Four
German Flyers in Raid
LONDON, Sept. 30. —Tgn tons of ex
plosive were dropped on German aero
dromes and ammunition dumps around
Gontrode and Carnieres. by British air
men. Field Marshall Haig reported to
night.
"During the raids our airplanes again
used machine gunfire to good effect
against all the enemy troops and trans
ports seen.
“As a result of the air fighting nine
German machines were brought down
and four others were driven down out
of control. One enemy machine was
brought down by anti-aircraft guns.
Three of our airplanes failed to return.’’
Mystery Still Shrouds
Franco-Belgium Front
NEW YORK. Sept. 30. (By European
Cables front Foreign Capitals).—At a
late hour the ban on press dispatches
from the Fra neo-Belgian front apparent
ly had not been raised, and the world
was left to guess whether the interdic
tion was intended to conceal some mili
tary movement or prime importance or
whether there was a relatively inconse
quential reason for it.
The official statements afforded no
clue to the mystery! Field Marshal
Haig's report in the forenoon of Satur
day. for instance, was of the routine
character that ordinarily excites no com
ment. merely announcing reciprocal ar
tillery fire. The Berlin statement was
similarly unilluminating.
From the French front there was an
absence of any interesting news, ex
cept that violent artillery activity was
reported east of the Meuse in the Ver
dun region.
The official statement from Rome
shows General Cadorna giving his In
fantry rein again, with the result that
an important gain was effected in the
Monte San Gabriele region, northeast of
Gorizia. A surprise attack, carried out
with complete success, gave the Italians
a line rectified to their advantage be
tween Sella di Doi and the northern
slopes of Monte San Gabriele, 224 pris
oners and a few machine guns being
captured. The new line was solidly
maintained, despite several Austrian
counter attacks. The Italian air opera
tions were again of Importance, the fly
ers once more sweeping over’ the Aus
trian naval base at Pola, where the ar
senal and submarine base were bombed
by a big squadron. Austrian military
establishments in the Carso zone were
also successfully attacked from the air.
How heavy the fighting was on the
British front in Flanders and northern
France during September, despite the
absence'of attacks on a large scale until
its closing days, is indicated by the fig
ures of.British casualties reported dur
ing the month, showing a total of 104,-
598, ’of which the killed comprised 18,-
938. these figures comparing with total
casualties of 59,811 for August and 119,-
549 for September a year ago, the third
month of the Somme battle.
Friday night's German air raid on
England was an abortive affair, and cost
ly for the Germans, resulting in negligi
ble material damage and no casualties,
as far as reported. The airmen were un
able reach London, the alert and ef
fective work of the British anti-aircraft
guns and air forces setting up a barrier
which was not pierced, while two of the
German machines were shot down on the
coast.

FOOD CONTROLLERS HANDLE
SUGAR PRICES HEREAFTER
Five* Men, Two Representing
Allies, in Charge of All
Distribution
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2»._The United
SC&tes food administration tonight an
nounced that it has assumed control of
the price and distribution of sugar for
America and her allies.
Under the title or international sugar
committee, five men. two representatives
of our European allies, two Americans
and George M. Rolph, of the sugar divi
sion of the food administration, will han
dle the situation.
The European members are Sir Joseph
"White-Todd and John V. Drake. Sr., and
the American members are Earl D.
Babst, president of the American Sugar
Refining company, and William A. Ja
mison, of Arbuckle Bros.
"Neither of these men is ihterested in
the production of Cuban sugar," said the
food administration’s statement, "which
controls the price of all sugar In the
United States.”
Co-operating with this control com
mittee will be a committee of American
refiners, consisting of C. A. Spreckles.
James H. Post and C. M. Warner, of
New York; George H. Earle. Jr., of Phil
adelphia, and Dwight P. Thomas, of Bos
ton.
All domestic sugar producers of the
United States, the statement said, have
agreed to abide by the price decisions of
the commission and to co-operate with
it in every way.
No immediate reduction in the price of
| sugar is to be expected, the food admin
istration said, and, owing to the in
i creased cost of refining sugar, and of
bags, jute and other necessary materials
since the war began, the price may not
drop much, but will be kept at a figure
as reasonable as can be expected under
war conditions.
The statement pointed out that unset
tled conditions and speculation have been
the curse of the sugar situation in the
past, and that proposed legislation
boosting import taxes on Cuban sugar as
a war measure resulted in ten and
twelve-cent sugar recently.
This condition will be made impossi
ble under the new plans of regulation
and control of distribution, Mr. Hoover
says.
The American members of the com
mission will have control of all domes
tic questions concerning sugar. The
price to jobbers and wholesalers will be
fixed at a reasonable margin of profit to
these men. and the public is expected to
deal with the retai. price on the basis of
the information it gets concerning
wholesale and jobbers’ prices it gets
from the food administration."
No attempt will be made to control the
retail price of sugar.
That will be up to the consumer.
Distribution of the present beet sugar
crop will be under direction of a special
domestic distributing committee, com
posed of H. A. Douglas, of Detroit; E. C.
Howe, of Denver; W. H. Hannam. of San
Francisco: S. H. Love, of Salt Lake City;
W. S. Petrlken, of Denver; S. W. Sin
sheimer. of Huntington Beach. Cal., and
W. I*. Turner, of Detroit.

HEFLIN MO mm ME
UfIGED TO KPOLDGIZE
Norton's Friends Want Heflin
to Disavow Disloyalty
Charges
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—House ir
ritation over the Heflin insinuations
against congressional loyalty was
heightened today following the catch-as
catch-can bout between Representatives
Heflin and Norton on the floor yester
day.
Both members have been urged by
friends to take the floor at the earliest
opportunity and present their apologies.
Both have Indicated they intend to make
a few remarks—“not necessarily apolo
gies.”
Norton's friends Insist on a personal
disavowal from Heflin of both his speech
on the floor in which he said thirteen or
fourteen members had acted disloyally
and of his newspaper interview con
cerning a gambling hall in Washington
where pro-German congressmen were
understood to make easy winnings at
cards.
From a reliable source the report came
today that Majority Leader Kitchtn
would take the floor today with a de
mand for Heflin’s censure.
While the house continued its post
mortem, the soldier insurance bill faced
rough sledding in the senate. Senator
Smoot opened a fight to delay its pass
age until at least the December session.
If he fails in this, he will contest the
bill on the floor.

A Secret of the Great Endurance and Powers of Athletes
Ordinary Nnxathd Iron Will Make Deli

■Per Cent Stronger in Two Weeks’
Time in Many Cases.
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Most people foolishly
seem to think they are going to get renewed

E. Sauer, a Boston Physician who has studied
widely both in this country and in Great Eu
ropean Medical Institutions when, as a matter
of fact, real and true strength can only come
from the food you eat. But people often fail
to get the strength out of their food because
they haven’t enough iron in their blood to en
able it to change food into living matter. From
their weakened, nervous condition they know
something is wrong but they can’t tell what,
so they generally commence doctoring for atom

some other ailment caused by lack of iron in
the blood. This thing may go on for years,
while the patient suffers untold agony. If you
are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself

ASK FOB EXPULSION OF
0. S. SENATOR LAFOHETTE
Petitions From Minnesota
Governor, Commission and
Citizens Sent to Senate
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—There is
little disposition in the senate to discuss
the loyalty of its members.
For that reason, there is little likeli
hood that the charges of disloyalty
lodged against Senator La Follette by
, the Minnesota public safety commission
' and other individual citizens today will
1 be pressed.
1 This was strongly indicated today fol
i lowing presentation of five petitions for
I expulsion of La Follette on the ground
• that he has preached sedition.
Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota, Intro
duced the Minnesota public safety reso
l lution, bearing the signature cf the gov
ernor. attorney general and members of
, rhe commission, who declared that La
Follette’s speech at St. Paul September
j 20 was "disloyal and seditious."
It was such that a “treasonable senti
i ment in the state of Minnesota" has been
created and the support of the govern
ment has been weakened.
The other four petitions were pre
l serrted by Vice' President Marshall
J upon recommendation of local citizens
I representing the Washburn, Wis., Loy-
I alty league, demanding impeachment of
jLa Follette “for his treasonable utter
i ances and disloyalty to our govern-
I’.nent:” by W. A. Coombe, a Washing
ton, D. C., attorney; C. W. Cannon, New
■ York City, who said “our sons giving
up their lives for the cause of their
country should not be compelled to lis
ten to such traitors in our midst," and
D. M. Jones, Washington, D. C.
IN COMMITTEE’S HANDS.
All five petitions are In the hands of
the committee on privileges and elec
tions of which Senator Pomerene is
chairman. Senator Pomerene tonight
said he will talk with committee mem
bers Monday.
"Until then I can't say what the
committee will do,” he said. “Os the
fifteen members of the committee,
nine are In Washington. Two of these
strongly favor committee action. Neith
er. however, would permit the use of
his name in connection with his Views.”
Most members of the committee,
, though unwilling to discuss the probable
action, indicated they believe the peti
tions will be allowed to He on the table.
Meanwhile Senator La Follette, appar
ently undisturbed, went to a meeting of
the finance committee. Pressed for a
statement, he said, smilingly: “I’m not
making any statements whatever—to
day.”
it was in anticipation of a speech by
Senator La Follette answering his critics
I that leaders determined to put the lid on
any discussion today by calling an ex
ecutive session.
“We can't prevent any senator from
speaking,” said a member of the rules
committee, “but we can prevent his us
ing the Congressional Record for dis
semination of a speech indicating a se
rious lack of harmony in this body.”
TWO-THIRDS VOTE REQUIRED.
If the committee should vote in favor
of expelling Senator La Follette, which
no senator today held likely, a long and
bitter fight doubtless would ensue. A
two-thirds vote is required to expel a
senator. This could not be obtained, it
is generally believed.
Should the committee seriously con
sider expulsion of Senator La Follette, it
would name a subcommittee to consider
evidence. Senator La Follette would
have the privilege of questioning wit
nesses and making whatever defense he
wished. A report would be made to the
full committee, which would then report
to the senate. The senate, on accepting
or rejecting the committee report, would
decide whether La Follette would be ex
pelled or not.
No member of congress ever has been
expelled for treason or sedition. Val
landigham, member of the house from
Ohio, though not removed from his seat
for treason, was indicted during the
civil war afnd was sentenced to be
transported Within the confederate lines.
Japan Is in the War
To Worry the Enemy,
Says Viscount Ishii
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—Japan is in
the war “to make herself as unpleasant
to the enemy as her physical makeuo
will permit or her ingenuity conceive,"
declared Viscount Ishii, head of the im
perial Japanese commission, at the New
York chamber of commerce here today.
His country, he said, is an ally and part
ner in the war which can be brought to
lan end only by “the complete utter
I physical defeat and humiliation of Ger-
I many,” and Japan will do her share
"in such maner as to justify her in
claiming a place in the company of hon
est men.” His nation and this, he said,
have been friends for fifty years, and
“we propose to strengthen that friend
! ship.”
Ware’s Hog Exhibit
WAYCROSS, Sept. «B.—At a meeting

you want it to do you any good, otherwise it
may prove worse than useless. Many an ath

because they knew the secret of great strength

other has gone down to inglorious defeat simply
for the lack of iron.

NO LIVES LOST
IN PENSACOLA;
STORM TOLL 15
Captain and Nine of Fishing
Steamer Crew Victims of
Hurricane When Their Boat
Overturns
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 29.—A radio
message from Pensacola says no lives
were lost in the hurricane. Property
loss is half a million. The government
is using the wires, and there are no de
tails available yet.
MOBILE, Ala., Sept. 29.—Six were
killed and five injured by the hurricane
sweeping Crestview, Fla., according to
word reaching here today.
Captain Theodore Pallatin. of the fish
ing steamer Wanna, and his crew of nine
were drowned near Houma, La., yester
day. The bodies found today revealed
the tragedy, ofthe overturned boat.
Because warnings had been spread
broadcast over Mobile and sur
rounding territory, this section
passed through the hurricajie late
yesterday and last night with
a minimum of danger, although the ve
locity of the wind reached 96 miles an
hour. The business and residential sec
tions of the city today were littered
with sections of roofs, galleries, signs,
trees and other debris, but no loss of
life had been reported.
The danger along the water front was
slight. Taking advantage of the first
warnings of the approaching hurricane,
shipping sought a safe harbor behind
Twelve Mile Island. The river was clear
of all manner of craft long before the
gale struck Mobile and at the river
front this morning it was said not a
beat had been lost.
The storm struck the coast at the
mouth of the Mississippi and. sweeping
across a narrow portion of Louisiana,
hit Gulfport. Biloxi and the Mississippi
coast section, swept through Mobile at
times with a velocity of 96 miles an
hour and extended east to Pensacola,
where communication had not been re
stored early today.
A three-story structure occupied by
the chamber of commerce and the cotton
exchange and several other buildings in
the business district here were destroy
ed by fire, demoralization of the fire
alarm system giving the flames a start.
The loss Is put at 3450,000.
Pensacola, cut off from the outside
world since yesterday, is safe, according
to word reaching here from that city
late this afternoon.
Meager reports coming over badly crip
pled wires said the city suffered some
property damage, but no lives were lost
from the hurricane sweeping the west
Florida and south Mississippi and Ala
bama coasts yesterday.

reflects its discomfort in its disposi
tion. If Mother will just give it a
tiny dose of a mild laxative, such as
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, the con
gestion will quickly loosen and be ex
pelled, and her child be normal and
happy once more.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is espe
< iaily desirable for children, because it
inntains no opiate or narcotic drug,
being a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin, mild and gentle
in action, positive in effect, and very
palatable. Children like it and take
it readily. Druggists sell Dr. Cald
well’s Syrup Pepsin for fifty cents a
bottle; a trial bottle, free of charge,
can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B.

BAD COLD? TAKE ;
CASCARETS FOR .
BOWELS TONIGHT
No headache, constipation, bad
cold or sour stomach
by morning
Get a 10-cent box.
Sick headache, biliousness, coated
tongue, head and nose clogged up with
a cold—always trace this to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or- sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the intes
tines, instead of being cast out of the
system is re-absorbed into the blood.
When this poison reaches the delicate
brain tissue it causes congestion and
that dull, throbbing, sickening headache.
Cascarets immediately cleanse the
stomach, removes the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, takes the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and poi
sons In the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. ' They
work while you sleep—a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver and
bowels regular for months—(Advt.)
