further decline in the cotton market during

partly against purchases in later months

active positions sold 8 to 14 points belcw
Inst night’s closing, with July touching
12.52 and October 13.25. Ten May rotices
were reported but May held relatively steady
on buying by spot houses. Owing to the
holiday there were no Liverpool cables.
Liverpool and New Orleans bought a little
cotton here at the opening.
Reports that the trade had buying orders
In the market at 12.50 for July to fix prices

moted covering during the early afternoon.

Bookkeeper’s Shortage
In Montgomery Bank
Totalled $238,540.72
MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 20.
The defalcation of Randolph
Candler, bookkeeper for the Ex
change National Bank of this city,
who committed suicide on May 7,
was officially announced by the di
rectors of the bank to be $238,540.72,
the largest defalcation by a bank
attache ever recorded in Alabama.
Officers of a security company on
a blanket bond paid over to the bank
Thursday afternoon the sum of SIOO,-
000, the amount of their liability.
Directors of the bank paid in $30,-
000 to increase the surplus and un
divided account to $42,000. The bank
has deposits of $1,100,000 and be
fore the defalcation had a surplus
and undivided profit of more than
$150,000. The bank, pronounced sol
vent by examiners and auditors, is
proceeding to do business under the
same officials, with an excess of
$344,000 over all possible obligations.
Randolph Candler May 7 walked
mto the bank after lunch and found
a bank examiner on the individual
ledgers which he kept himself and
which were afterwards found to be
irregular. He introduced himself to
the examiner, asked to be excused
while he telephoned a friend to break
an engagement, so that he could help
the examiner. Instead of telephon
ing, he went direct to the Alabama
river, unloosed a motor boat which
he maintained on the river and sped
down to Rees’ ferry. He anchored
his boat there, tied his feet with a
rope to a boat and shot himself. His
body, in the water and hanging to
the boat, was found by a boatman
who had been sent by the officials
to follow him.
Candler, the examiners say, was a
plunger. He played high at cards
and dice and went extensively into
the advancing business. He is said
to have lost large sums last year ,in
advancing to farmers. He operated
under a system whereby he doctored
the individual ledgers in the bank,
drew checks through the other banks
which were paid by the local clear
ing house. When the checks arrived
Candler tore them up and falsified
the individual ledgers.
No Tears on Wedding Day
LONDON.—“If parents or guard
ians of minors wish to prevent the
marriage of those under 21, the only
course to adopt is to attend church
where the bans are published and
rise and say, ‘I forbid the bains’ ”
says the Rev. W. B. Soole. “No
bride should be reduced to tears
Qn her wedding day. If the vicar
can be reduced to tears, well and
good, but not the bride, poor girl.”
Modern Gold Brick
NEW YORK.—A new bunco game
was sprung on George Rucksehler, of
Norwich, N. Y., who bought nine
pounds of tin for $4,00, thinking it
was platinum. A sample the stranger
showed took the platinum test all

purchase did not.

Alleged Liquor Men
Use Preacher’s Garage
As “Wet” Storehouse
Using the premises of a ministeij
of the gospel as a cache for contra
band liquor is the latest scheme to
be tried by the gentry engaged in
the dangerous, but highly lucrative
business of maintaining “wet” spots
in “bone-dry” territory. This new
system of evading the law was
brought to light on Wednesday, when
Deputy Sheriffs Schilling, White and
McCall found eighteen quarts of fine,
bottled in bond rye whisky secreted
on the premises of Dr. S. E. Wasson,
pastor of St. Mark’s Methodist
church.
The ' liquor belonged not to Dr.
Wasson, but to two young men who
had rented the minister’s garage.
One of them, Barney Peeples, si
among Sheriff Lowry’s guests at the
tower, while the other is being sought
by the authorities.
Wednesday afternoon a little boy
living in the neighborhood of Dr.
Wasson’s home at the corner of Bed
ford place and Ninth street, while
hunting for hens’ nests, found six
quarts of liquor secreted in a clump
of honeysuckle vines beside the doc
tor’s house He reported his dis
covery to Dr. Wasson. who took
charge of the liquor and called So
licitor General John A. Boykin, who
is a member of his congregation. The
solicitor general put deputy sheriffs
on the job and they immediately

4. Q. —When were chain cables
first used?
A. —Chain cables were first em
ployed on shipboard in 1811. The
first vessel to use them was the
Penelope, a West Indian ship. They
were invented and patented in 1808
by a navy surgeon named Slajter.
5. Q. —How much land did Thomas
Fairfax have in Virginia?
A.—Lord Fairfax acquired 6,000,-
000 acres of land in Virginia. This
was 21 counties or one-fourth of the
entire colony of Virginia.
6. Q. —What kind of a fish is the
Irish fish?
A.—No doubt you refer to the
Irish lord fish, a yellowish sculpin
like species of the waters about the
Aleutian islands. This fish is of
great importance as food to the
Aleut islanders. It is also known as
yellow sculpin, and a more south
ern species of the same genus is call
ed red sculpin. Both are mottled or
barred blackish, and are from one to
two feet in length.
7. Q. —How much, milk is held in
the udder of the average milch cow
at the time of milking?
A.—The department of agriculture
says that there is very little milk
held in the udder at the beginning
of the milking process. The milk is
made largely during the process of
milking.

stock, but have admixtures of white
and negro blood.

A.—The biological survey says the
average life of a fancy white rabbit
that is not killed for either the meat
or the fur is from four to six years,

Stone?”
A.—The Rosetta Stone is a stone
in the British museum, which was

Texas Not Adapted
To Egyptian Cotton,
Federal Report Says
WASHINGTON, May 20.—The
Egyptian cotton is not adapted to
Texas conditions, the department of
agriculture declared in a statement
yesterday. A carload of the Pima
Egyptian seed was shipped into
Texas last year for planting and re
sulted in “much disappointment,”
the department said. This variety in
Texas, the department asserted, “is
more susceptible to disease and more
exposed to weevil injury.”
Knoxville to Build
Big Stock Yards
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., May 20.—A
great co-operative stock yard to cov

packer cattle annually is to be built
in Knoxville in the near future, as
a sequel to a conference of live stock
breeders, packers’ representatives
and farmers of east Tennessee at
the Business Men’s club Thursday.
searched the garage, finding a dozen
quarts of fine whisky. Then they sat
down to await the arrival of the
owner.
About midnight Peeples appeared
on the scene and was placed uqder
arrest. According to the officers, he
admitted ownership of the liquor and
told of extensive operations covering
a period of- several months.
"SEWICEFIBST"
W MOTTO
WASHINGTON —“I have just one
ambition, one determination in the
administration of this great office
—that is to give to the people of
the United States the most effi
cient postal service they ever have
had and the most efficient in the
world.”
The speaker was Postmaster Gen
eral Hays, the youngest man who
ever held the office and one of the
youngest who ever held a cabinet
post. The manner of his speaking
and his very evident sincerity, con
vinced me that he meant exactly
what he said.
We were lunching together in the
cafeteria on the top floor of the
department building on Penn-,
sylvania avenue. I had asked Hays
to talk for publication about the
problems of his department in their
relation to its employes and the pub
lic and his policy as postmaster gen
eral.
The talk began in his office and
was being continued as we lunched.
The foregoing statement was
made in answer to my suggestion
that his appointment had caused
some criticism on the ground that
it was political—a reward for his
services as chairman of the Repub
lican national committee during the
campaign.
“I do not care to discuss the po
litical significance of my appoint
ment,” continued Hays, "except to
say this: If anyone seriously thinks
that I am going to run the post
office department as a political ma
chine he is just as mistaken as he
could be. Even if I were so short
sighted and had such a perverted
idea of my duties and responsibil
ities, President .Harding would be
the last man in the world to permit
such a thing.
“I am as interested as any man
possibly can be in the success of
the Republican party and of this
administration. And I know that
there is but one way that success
can be insured. We must give the
country efficient, economical and
just government.
“That is what we promised dur
ing the campaign and the seven mil
lion plurality indicated the coun
try’s belief in our ability and hon
esty of purpose.
"If we make good we shq.ll be en
titled to a continuance of the coun
try’s confidence and will get it. If
we fail, we will be turned out and
ought to -be.”
Definite Plans
“What are .some of your definite
plans for making the postal service
a more efficient servant of the pub
lic?” I asked.
"First and foremost it is my pur
pose to improve the conditions of
the employes. The one most impor
tant element in any business is the
spirit of the men and women in it.
We are going to get away entirely
from any idea that labor is a com
modity.
“I suggested in a speech the other
day that that idea was abandoned
1921 years ago last Easter. I repeat
it now. I am going to whatever
lengths are necessary to develop in
the department the spirit that we
are 300,000 partners.
“It is not a matter of higher
wages. The $70,000,000 increase re
cently made, with no decrease now
that other wages are coming down,
takes care of the wage situation in
a fairly reasonable way.
’ "Working conditions, however, in
many branches of the service are
unsatisfactory and we are going to
improve them. In short, we are go
ing to put some heart into the
works.
“We have organized a welfare de
partment just as definite In its du
ties as any other department. There
is nothing original in this as every
other large business in the country
has done the same thing, from a
perfectly selfish business stand
point.
“If we can improve the spirit and
conditions of the men and women
who do this job, that in itself will
be an accomplishment and it is per
fectly certain to be reflected in the
quality of their service to the pub
lic.
"The fact that the federal com
pensation commission is paying
many claims for injured eyes caused
by poor light in postoffices, is one
of the symptoms of the disease we
propose to cure.”
Concerning’ Profit.
’►‘You have said that politics
should have no place in the depart
ment, now about profit?” I asked.
“It is an institution for neither
politics nor profit,” was the em
phatic answer. "It is an institution
for service and the public which
owns it, has the right to apply the
test of service to its every ac
tivity.”
“How about the civil service?”
"I believe in it absolutely and it
is my determination to streng‘"ien
and broaden it wherever possio’e to
the end that merit may govern. In
this way the postal service man be
made a more and more des’rable
career into which young men and
women can enter with certainty that
the.r work will be performed under
reasonable conditions for a reason
able wage and that they will be se
cure n their employment so .ong as
they give faithful service.”
"H?w can the public help you and
the other postoffice employes in
your efforts’ to improve the serv
ice? ’
"In many ways, but principally bj’
recognizing that the postal service
is not a private enterprise in whicn
they have merely the detached in
terest of customer*:, but that it is a
public service in which every man.
woman and child in the nation is a
stockholder.
“In the final analysis, the in
creased efficiency of the postal serv
ice will depend upon the sympathetic
co-operation of the public with the
men and women they have employed
to do the job.”
“Do you favor the rapid develop
ment of the air mail service?”
"I consider it a very important
branch of the department’s activi
ties. Its development is already
greater than that of any other coun
try and it has unlimited possibil
ities.
