’ MISSING OFFICER
ATLANTA, Ga., March 4.—The
quizzing of an unnamed young woman
in connection with the alleged disap
MHHMIHBPVilPiRPilHHIR.,.. of Second Lieutenant Mon
tague Solomon, who is declared
ing from Camp Gordon and alleged
to be in the possession of $4,000 with
which he was to have paid discharged
soldiers is creating new interest in
the case.
The name of the girl in question
has not been made public, but she is
said to have admitted seeing Solomon
about 10 o’clock Friday night, though
she claims that he did not mention
having any money at the time.
Every effort is being made to lo¬
cate the missing officer.
ATLANTA, March 4.—Just because
a Camp Gordon soldier and a girl for
got to remember the hour of descend
ing darkness, the whole town of Stone
Mountain “went into action” Sunday
night to rescue the soldier and his la¬
dy from the perils of Stone Moun¬
tain.
Incidentally the organization of the
relief P» rt y was a fine indication of
the stentorian quality of the soldier’s
voice because he succeeded in awaking
the town from the -very summit of the
mountain merely by his magaphonic
calls for help. It is a ful mile from
the top of the mountain to the bot¬
tom, but the inhabitants of the little
town at the foot of the mountain final¬
ly heard the soldier, and sent out a
searching party of a hundred or more
persons with lanterns and torches.
The soldier said that neither he nor
the girl were familiar with the moun¬
tain and were afraid to risk the de¬
scent; V

PDESIDEIT TO
LIFT EMBIRCO
ALL SOUTHERN REPRESENTA¬
TIVES IN UPPER LEGISLATIVE
BODY PETITION PRESIDENT
ON SHIPMENT PLAN.
ATLANTA, Ga., March 4.—All of
the Southern senators ecept one have
1 jointed in signing an urgent appeal to
l*ke cotton off the embargo list, the
petition to be presented to the presi
dent within a few days, according to
advices received here. The paper
prepared by Senator Hoke Smith, and
carries the signature of all Southern
| senators except one. respectfully It is as follows:
Mr; President, we urge
the necessity for immediately remov¬
ing cotton from the embargo list.
“The present price at which cotton
sells is below the estimated cost of
production in many localities. Bank¬
ers and merchants have advanced up
on it in many instances beyond the
prices at which it now sells.
“This situation is demoralizing bus¬
iness conditions in the States where
cotton is raised, and threatens serious
financial los sto cotton growers and
to merchants nad bankers who have
advanced money upon cotton.
“Cotton, now or. the embargo list,
can only be exported where the ex
portion is approved by the war
trades board. A number of us have
learned recently of large sales of cot
ton which would have been made to
neutral countries, but for the fact
that the war trades board refused li¬
censes, and cotton, being on the em¬
bargo list, could not be exported with¬
out the licenses.
“That you may appreciate the con¬
dition and the injury that this restric¬
tion of markets places Upon the hold
ers of cotton, we call your attention
to the fact that cotton was selling last
September for 38 cents a pound. It
was then that the subject of cotton
was referred to the war industries
board with a view to stabilizing the
price, or fixing the price. This inter¬
ference with the market broke the
price and demoralized purchasers so
that buyers ceased to purchase at the
thirty eight cents market and bid
down the market’to around thirty
cents a pound. The war industries
board finally determined that it had
no authority to fix a price and ho
power J to maintain it, but the injury
ad already been done,
„ Then it developed that the war
trade board was se riously interfering
with the export of cotton by restruct
jng licenses for shipment even to
countries contiguous to Germany and
Austria> and from which countries cot
t(m could not have reached eitheT of
the enemy countrie s. This still fur
ther demorali7 . ed the cotton market
and forced down the price.
“If cotton is taken off the embar¬
go list, broader opportunities for sale
at once will follow, and the injury
which has been done to cotton raisers
and merchants and bankers in the sec¬
tions where cotton is raised will be re
duced.
“We earnestly appeal to you to take
cotton off the embargo list and per¬
mit it normally to be sold and ship¬
ped where purchasers are willing to
buy.
“The cotton raiser has suffered
more from the war than any class of
our citizens. He is not now asking the
government to give him the assist¬
ance which is going to other farm
products. We only ask that he be re¬
lieved from burdens placed upon him
by his own government.”
This paper was signed by the sen¬
ators from North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennes¬
see, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Texas. X

All 8allors Superstitious.
All sailors are superstitious, but
none is so completely under this In¬
fluence as the old deep-sea fisherman.
He puts the deepest faith in “signs"
and omens of all kinds. Nothing would
induce a skipper of the old school to
sail on a Friday. One Intrepid unbe¬
liever who dared to leave the docks at
Grimsby, England, on a Good Friday
was hooted through the lock gates by
the scandalized populace. In spite of
thus challenging the fates, however, he
returned safely with ship and crew.
Another Paradox.
*T have noticed in my little journeys
from bedtime to bedtime,” said the al¬
most philosopher, “that the fellow who
prides himself on being bluut in his
speech can ask some very pointed
questions.”

Concedes Handicaps Ranging
Prom 1,000 to 2,800 Points
In 18,0004*olnt
Game.
One of the important events In the
restoration of sports in England to a
pre-war basis will be a billiard cham¬
pionship tournament, in which Mel
.bourne Inman, title bolder, will be
called on to defend his laurel*. Latest
dispatches from London state the
tournament will be conducted either
In March or April. It will be a han¬
dicap competition, with Inman play¬
ing from scratch for 18,000 points,
and conceding handicaps ranging prob¬
ably from 1,000 to 2,500 points. Un¬
der this arrangement It is felt that
the champion will encounter sertous
opposition.
The nature of the handicap allow¬
ances has not yet been definitely de¬
cided, although the committee In
charge has practically agreed on this
style tournament for the purpose of
equalizing the play, and giving as¬
piring billlardists a chance against
the champion. Inman submitted/ as
j, t8 OWD i dea 0 f w p at WO uld make a
good handicap, the scale of from 1,000
to 2,600 points to his rivals. In addi¬
tion, Inman expressed a willingness
to oppose any or all of four leading
rivals on the terms of this handicap
basis for £200 a side.

Hard circles. Is among Inman’s fore¬
most rivals. G. A. Heglnbotham of
Ashton-under-Lynne, Lancashire,
stepped forward with a challenge to
support, Falklner for any sum up to
£500 a side in a match on the scale
proposed by the champion, Inman to
play 18,000 against Falkiner’s 15,500.
'Heglnbotham is a prominent amateur
cueist, and an ardent advocate of
the billiard sport. In his younger
days at Oxford he won the ’Varsity
cue. More recently he has attracted
favorable attention as a runner-up in
the amateur championships. He has
a brepk of 174 balls, which stood as
a record for an amateur for a con¬
siderable time.
Thomas Newman of North London
is another player eager to oppose In¬
man. Newman has been tentatively
allotted a handicap of 1,500 points
on the champion, and it Is generally
felt that, under this arrangement,
Newman is being accorded generous
treatment. Thomas Reece has al¬
ready accepted Inman’s offer to con¬
cede him, with Stevenson, a handicap
of 1,000 points. Stevenson, however,
has not definitely decided.
