The market steady at a decline of 40 points on August and off 13 points on July, while later months were 4 points lower to 12 higher. Liverpool and the south sold new crop positions which worked about 5 to 6 pointe net lower right after the call, with October selling at 34.15. A couple of July notices were reported, but after selling at 41.60 on the call, that month soon advanced to 41.85, making a new high record, while later months rallied also with October selling at 34.30, or 10 points net higher. The weather map showing showery con ditions in the sour hfurned the market firm- ] er during the middle of the morning and i the advance was promoted by the continued strength of July. That delivery sold up , to 42.05, or 32 points net higher, while * October advanced to 34.54 with the gen- j -eral list showing net advances of about 30 to 34 points. More favorable trade re- , ports from Blanchester helped the advance , and reactions of a few points were follow- j ed by a very steady market during the early afternoon. ; The advance carried October up to 84.58 c < and December 32.87 c, with active new crop U months selling 48 to 63 points net higher. , This level attracted more realizing and the . midafternoon market showed reactions of ' 20 to 23 points.

GRAIN | CHICAGO, July 16.—Extraordinary weak ness developed in the wheat market today and prices made a steep descent. Opeing prices, which ranged from the same as yes terday’s finish to 9% cents lower, with De cember 2.60% to 2.68, were fololwed by a further decline and then a reaction to 2.62. In the corn pit, there was active selling on the part of the same commission houses that were conspicuous on the bear side yes- ; terday. After opening 1% down to 1% ad vane the whole market declined sharply ; but later recovered most of the loss. Oats weakened with other grain. Provisions were steady to firm.

NEW ORLEANS, July 16.—Better reports from textile centers on both sides of the water and messages from New England to the effect that mills were resuming fall time, too much rain in the belt and in creased fear of boll weevil damage com bined to put the cotton market strongly higher today. July in New York took on a new spurt. Rumors were circulated that the bulls would turn their attention to Oc tober after they have finished with July. The forecast calls for clouy weather in the Western belt and showery weather in the Eastern, a state of affairs that points to further advances, although reactions must now be expected as the result of longs realizing.

Chicago Tribune says: It was noticeable the largest cash houses bought July corn and oats on the break. There was heavy selling of July oats toward the close by Wagner, and brokers were absorbing December; re sulted in narrowing the spreads between the near-by and distant delivery. Think December corn a sale every bulge. Never had any business to sell at 150 as far as I can see. When it bulges any time sell it.—Denning. Cash people in country wirs ns is less disposition by holders to sell cash corn now and no response by farmers to fairly good bids made last night. Larger shorts have taken surplus corn out of the market. It is showing better rallying power.—Babcock. Watermelon Syrup Is Latest Georgia Product WAYCROSS, July 18. Georgia cane syrup is a product which is known from ocean to ocean and when its name is mentioned the state of Georgia immediately comes to mind. Another syrup which’ promises to make Georgia famous, according to farmers in this section, is watermelon syrup. This syrup is made from the juice of the watermelon in practi cally the same manner that cane syrup is made from sugar cane juice. Several farmers in this sec tion have experimented with “melon” syrup for several years and they say that “it can’t be beat.” Lover Shot Woman Who Spurned Him PLAINFIELD, N. J. —Mrs. Chris tine Murphy, aged 30, x of Dewey Park, Dunellen, while on her way to work recently, was met by George Schneiderwind, aged 22, who is said to have been madly in love with her, and, following some words, he drew a revolver and shot her twice, both bullets entering the neck. The woman is in a serious condition. Schneiderwind surrendered to the police. I Mrs. Murphy, who is the wife of : Charles Murphy, of Newark, recently j started a suit for divorce, on grounds of desertion. It is said she spurned the attentions of Schneiderwind, and , this angered him. j New Death House Woe • There are twenty-three prisoners ■ ! filling the Sing Sing death house. One of them' snores and the others have trouble in getting to sleep. The man who snores is Sam Micha lok. He was known as “Sam the Landlord” in ew York. He was con victed of the murder of a woman in Yonkers, done by men whom he sent: to rob her. He goes to sleep first every night i and the other men in the death house | sometimes have to' wake him up !n i order to get to sleep themselves. So they have asked the warden to put Sam in the old death house as soon as another man Is condemned to die. WOULD MAKE WE ON CAPITAL ISSUE TUESDAY BUSINESS (Continued from Page 1) i ; the people had voted on capital re- • moval. He said the ambition of his > i city to be the seat of the govern ; ment was an honorable ambition of , ' which they were not ashamed or ; apologetic, and all they had asked I ■ or would ask was an opportunity for the people to decide the question. | Mr. Barnes did not take more than I ten minutes and the balance allotted L i for the opening was not used. ' | Then Robert C. Alston spoke twen- J ' ty minutes and J. K. Orr spoke five ; minutes for Atlanta. The full text i of their speeches appears elsewhere ; lin this issue of The Journal. Judge , ' George Hillyer also spoke five min [ utes. The ten-minute close for Ma- ■ : con was used by Representative An- ■ : derson of Jenkins, one of the steering ! committee for capital removal. He - ■ said Atlanta ought not to object to : • an “agitation” of the capital removal 1 ' question, since Atlanta had been built t by agitators. He said Atlanta did ' j not hesitate to “agitate” the exemp ; | tion of college endowment when she ’ ! wanted Emory’s gift of $1,000,000 ; from Asa G. Candler to be relieved jof taxation. He said Atlanta did not .'hesitate to “agitate” when she wanted i. • Camp Gordon and Camp Jesup re i, j tained. He paid his respects in a ’ | jocular manner to the three Atlanta y I speakers and closed with an eloquent ■. eulogy to the “grand old state of c I Georgia, where he was born and hoped to die.” ALLEGATION MADE THAT SHE COLLECTED ALLOTMENT CHECKS (Continued from Page 1) date she began living, as his wife, with Clarence Bradstreet, who was then a sergeant in the army and re sided at 247 St. Charles avenue, At lanta. Subsequent to her divorce from her legal husband, to wit, on August 25, 1919, she was married to Clarence Bradstreet. “It appears therefore that Agnes Tate, alias Agnes Tate Shoemaker, received twelve allotments and al lowance checks made payable to Agnes Tate Shoemaker as the wife of W. B. Shoemaker and that she con verted them to her own use. “Shoemaker was discharged from the service on May 20, 1919.” The evidence told of a visit of an examiner from the war risk bureau to Mrs. Bradstreet while she was in the Fulton county jail on October 23, 1919. Although the evidence submitted claimed Mrs. Bradstreet received checks the first six months of 1919. she denied cashing any in March, 1919, and thereafter. Mrs. Brad- j street told Commissioner Carter that Shoemaker made the allotment to her against her wishes. “Just before he left for France,” she said, “I saw him at the hostess house at Camp Gordon and had lunch eon with him. Although I was not I married te him he told me, ‘You are i my wife,’ and wanted me to accept | the allotment checks. When they ; came I used them to buy furniture and other things for his mother, who was living at Freeport, 111. I have no friends,” she continued, weeping, “Shoemaker has done his best to do me dirt.” When asked why she did not see the department of justice operators who tried to call on her Thursday morning, she declared she had been sick and that her doctor had sought to protect her against any further excitement. After signing the bond, Mrs. Brad street called for some water and tak ing some medicine from her hand bag drank it and then left with her father. Her bond was assessed at only SSOO because Mr. Carpenter took the position that this was sufficient in view of the fact that she was al ready under a $2,000 state bond. The penalty for a conviction on the offense charged against Mrs. Bradstreet is a fine of not more than $3,000, a prison sentence of not more than one year, or both, in the discre tion of the court. “TALKED INTO MARRYING,” SAYS MRS. BRADSTREET “I was talked into marrying Shoe maker just like I was talked into marrying Tate,” Mrs. Katherine Queen Bradstreet told a reporter for The Journal last autumn, nearly ten months before her arrest Thursday on charges of defrauding the United States government and 'William B. Shoemaker, formerly a Camp Gor don sergeant, out of allotments and allowances aggregating $460. At the time Mrs. Bradstreet made this assertion she was a prisoner in the Fulton county tower. It was shortly after she .and William B Green were arrested on the charge of embezzling the Fairburn Banking company, and her story of the Shoe maker marriage, with other details of her history, was the first public statement she made. “Mr. Shoemaker was a fine man,” she told the reporter, “only I just didn’t love him. Just yesterday I got a letter from him, saying if there was anything in the world he and his mother could do for me, they wanted to do it.” This statement differs markedly from her declaration after her arrest Thursday, that Mr. Shoemaker had “done her dirt.” Mrs. BradstreeUSz story of the Shoemaker marriage, as taken from the files of The Journal last year, begins with the removal of the Queen family from Cobb county, where Mrs. Bradstreet was born, to south Georgia, where Mr. Queen owned a farm near Albany and where “Kitty,” the daughter of. the family, met her next-door neighbor, J. B Tate. Quoting from the Interview last fall: “.Tate told me,” said Mrs. Brad street, “that he was twenty-five years old, but I learned later, when the first draft came along, that he was all of thirty-nine of forty. And | he was gray even when I first met him. He came over to the house ev ery day. He came early in the morn ing and he’d stick around all the time, talking and talking to me even when I was doing housework. Agrees to Divorce “Well, he talked me into marry ing him. That’s exactly what he did. I married him to keep him from always begging me to marry him. I was young and I didn’t know much, and he was old and he knew how to talk. . . . He came every day, and two or three times I went to the postoffice with him, but always my little brother was along. Then ' one day I slipped off with him alone. ■ And when I came back I was mar- i ried. “We went buggy riding behind aj mule, and he stopped at the preach-1 er’s. I didn’t want to marry him j even then. I wouldn’t get out. The ■ preacher had to come out to the! j buggy and marry us with me sitting' there, and me telling him all the j time I didn’t want to. The minute | it was over, I said, ‘What have I. done?, —I’ve ruined my life!’ And it’s i a fact, I’d have been a lot happier' if I’d married the mule.” According to Mrs. Bradstreet’s! story, she lived-with Tate only a few. months before coming to Atlanta be | cause she was unhappy.

I told him, ‘No, I don't love you,’ but he would keep asking me. He said he was going to France most any day and he wanted to get t married before he left, and so one day—we were at the Hostess house at Camp Gordon, I remember—l told him I would.

But his lawyer found out I was tell ing the truth, and so he wrote me it was alt right. Meets Bradstreet “I met Mr. Bradstreet right after he came to Camp Gordon in the first draft, in August, 1917. He was the first and only man I ever loved. It was like heaven after all I’d been through, because right then I thought I was single and Mr. Brad street asked me to marry him. Then he went home on a furlough to see his mother, and while he was away I did such a foolish thing and married Shoemaker, when I was engaged to Mr. Bradstreet all the time. “When Mr. Bradstreel came back, I hid my wedding ring atod wouldn’t tell him about it. But one day he ' met me accidentally downtown when I I had it on and he saw it and I told him. He got mad and went off, but we made up a few days later.

It was obvious that the egg had been freshly TrrtffT Why the stamp with the ancient date? “I thought at first,” said Framing ham, “that some one may have stamp ed the egg as a joke. I knew that we never stamped any of our eggs. But the same thing kept turning up. One egg each day had the same date stamped on it. We were at our wits’ end, then one day I hap pened to kill a chicken for dinner. While dressing it my wife found in it a rubber stamp that has been dat ing the eggs. The chicken had evi dently swallowed it some time be fore.” The warden refuses to use the old death house when there’s room m the new one.
