Buenos Aires, July 2.— (By mail.?
—Reconstruction of the monetary
systems of those countries whose cur
rency has depreciated, on the plan
followed by Argentina in 1899, is
recommended by Carlos A. Tornquist,
international banker, who was Argen
tine delegate to the Brussels finan
cial conference last year.
Adoption of this plan, he told mem
bers of the American Club at a lunch
eon here, had fixed a permaitent value
for Argentina’s then fluctuating pa
per currency and quickly enabled the
country to emerge from monetary
chaos into economic stability and pros
perity. Many of the leading men in
Germany, he said, were already in
favor of adopting a monetary reform
patterned after Argentina’s.
Explaining the mechanism of the
plan, of which his father was the auth
or Senor Tornuist said under the
Conversion Law of 1899 by which it
was carried into effect, a value of 44
cents gold was fixed for the paper
peso and the national finanical in
stitution which the law created, was
authorized to deliver one paper peso
in exchange for that sum in gold and
vice versa. The value, he said, was
fixed very much below par, because
the depreciation of the paper mone*
had become a permanent one and be
cause values had become adjusted to
the depreciation, “that is to say, that,
apart from the fluctuations liable to
be produced by abnormal causes, the
real value of the paper peso measured
in gold was 44 cents.’’
The public immediately responded
to the law, having confidence in the
plan, with the result that the value of
the paper peso became more and
more stable and it ceased completely
to fluctuate even when the country
had obtained only a modest stock of
gold. This stock has constantly in
creased, from barely $3,000 in 1902,
$90,000,000 in 1905, to $470,000,000
in the present day. Uncovered circu
lation of 293,000,000 peper pesos was
assimilated and placed on a parity
with the emissions subsequently made
gold basis. To day, he said, Ar
gentina had a paper circulation of
'about 1,350,000,000 pesos backed by
a metallic guarantee, which, according
to the rate established by the law,
amounts to 80 per cent.
“I believe,” he continued, “that the
existence of such a high proportion
WILL MAKE TWO REPORTS MRS GODBEE NOW
ON PRISON FARM PROBE P 0, WUW
Atlanta, Ga., July 28.—The House | FULLY PARDONED
and Senate penitentiary committees | Atlanta, Ga., July 28.-Go7ernor T.
are hopelessly split 6n the prison farm | W. Hardwick has granted a full par-
probe.
The Senate committee yesterday af
ternoon met and its majority adopted 8tate prison farm ,n 1914 10 * erv ® a
| don to Mrs. Perkfns Godbee,
kins county, who was sent
to the
a report giving the whole priscu sys
tern a clean bill of health.
Chairman Campbell headed the fight
for that report and was opposed by
Senator Fleming of the Tenth and Sen
ator Tarpley, who have filed a minori
ty report.
The Campbell report was adopted by
a vote of 9 to 2, declaring :he whole
place to be in excellent state of clean
liness, the prisoners well ted and car
ed for.
It commends Warden Smith highly,
the soie criticism in the report being
that he erred in making Abe Powers
a trusty.
The Fleming-Tarpley report con
demns conditions at the prison, calls
for the immediate discharge of Ward
en Smith and a reprimand of every
member of the prison commission.
The House committee has decided to
go right along with the probe, hear
more evidence and make an entirely
independent report. Its session was
reopened at S o'clock last night.

year. The Manager fires and hires
life sentence for killing Mrs. Florence
Godbee, and who was paroled by Gov
ernor Dorsey one year ago.
Under the parole Mrs. Godbee hi
enjoyed her freedom, but was not
restored to citizenship. The pa.don
granted her by Governor Hardwick
exonerates her of the killing of her
former husband and his second wife
and restores her citizenship. •
Mrs. Godbee shot and killed her
former husband, Judge Walter God
bee, from whom she was divorced,
and his second wife, Mrs. Florence
Godbee, in front of the postoffice at
Millen, Ga. She was indicted for mur
der in both cases and was tried for (
the killing of Mrs. Godbee. She was
found guilty and sentenced to life im
prisonment.
The Indictment based on the kill
ing of Judge Godbee was nol prossed.
Repeated efforts were made over
period of seven years to obtain a par
don for Mrs. Godbeq. About four
years ago, a petition for a pardon
was signed by a majority of the mem
bers of the Georgia Legislature, then
in session, by practically all the
members of the grand jury which in
dieted her and the trial jury which
convicted her, by the solicitor general
who prosecuted her, by Judge Henry
Hammond, who presided over her
trial and passed sentence upon her
and by a majority of the county df

RUMOR SAID WOMAN HAD
SWALLOWED RATTLESNAKE
Atlanta, Ga., July 28.—A persistent
I rumor to the effect that a woman had
swallowed a rattlesnake and :hat the
hospital surgeons at a local hospital
were non-plused as to what method
to employ in removing the reptile,
have been emphatically denied by the
hospital officials.
How the report started i? unknown,
though it is believed s.:me one with
u big imagination circulated the
rumor after seeing an X-ru/ plate on
exhibition at the hospua'.
The hospital X-ray surgeon ad
vances the theory that some person
say a plate of lungs, which were be
ing inflate! by a pump. The lungs,
as shown on the plate, resemble a
stomach to some extent and the
pump has a faint resemblance to the
tail of a rattlesnake.
Whether this was the cause of the
false report or not is not known, but
the hospital officials sav that have
never as yet, and don't expect to
have, a case of a rattlesnake in
woman’s stomach. They further
state that It would be impossible for
a woman to swallow a raulen eki and
live.

Lee e. kelly
A motion was made by \\*. B. Cocli-
of yellow metal gives me the right to I ran that the committee be continued
affirm that Argentine money to-day and that they get all data ol city
is among the soundest in the world.'
The result had been that ever since
the sanction of the law, foreign capi
tal had flowed into the country on a
large scale, production multiplied,
commerce attained extraordinary pro
portions, Immigration increased, "un
til Argentine production to-day is one
of the essential factors in the world’s
markets in providing foodstuffs for
mankind and raw materials for man
ufacturers."
Senor Tornquist advocated as the
first remedy for the European econ
omic disorder, adherance to the rec-
omendations of the Brussclls Confer
ence for strictest economy, suppres
sion of subsidies and economic barri
ers, the reduction of armament expen
ditures and suppression of unpro
ductive works and even certain pro
ductive.
If they will follow these sound
recommendations from the conference
at Brussels, it is my opinion that many
countries will in a relatively short
space of time, be able to place them
selves in a normal economic conditio..,
under which their production and con
sumption will be maintained in a pro
portion permitting the liquidation of
the obligations contracted by reason
of war. Then, In my opinion, will he
the time for these nations to begin
to think of readjusting their monetary
systems.
"It does not appear to me possible
to effect this reconstruction of mone
tary systems to meins of disinflation
for this would be a slow procest and
would not do away with the fluctu
ations in the value of money and
worse still, it would impose completely
unnecessary sacrifices upon Industry
commerce, and production.
‘On the other hand, I consider the
Argentine Example perfectly fcaw
ble for many countries. Our conver
sion law, its origin, its result, its econ
omic effects, 1 consider a subject of
great Importance and great practical
possibilities for many countries, and
I think the sooner, and the more, your
country docs in this direction, in wiew
of its enondous moral and material
influence in all present world prob
lems the better it will be.”
