Although Mr. Kontg had been In 111 health for -two years, hls condition was not serious, and It was thought that he was improving. Last Thursday, how ever, he was taken III at hls office and cnrrled to hls room. He wns not con sidered In danger and a speedy recov ery was expected. At 7 o’clock Saturday morning A. J. Smith entered Mr. Konts’s room and gave him some medicine. He seemed to be as well as usual, and Mr. Smith left the room. About fifteen minutes later therw was a slight noise from the sick room. No one In the house thought It anything serious until a ne gro servant came running downstairs crying that Mr. Konts was dead. The body was found lying on the floor near the bed, as If Mr. Konts had attempted to rise when stricken with heart dis ease. Mr. Konte, who was a brother of Judge Ernest C. Konts, wns a native of I Atlanta and spent almost hls entire life i here. He was prominent In business, ' political and secret order circles and hls endeavors extended Into many lines 'of 1 public service. Of German Descent, | Mr. Konts’s parents came to Atlanta jfrom Germany In 1848. Anton L. Konts :was born In 1849, almost at the same time that Atlanta came into existence. Hls father owned a farm upon which Anton worked when a boy, while also receiving hls early education in Atlanta schools. Through the Influence’ of Alexander H. Stephens, with whom he was Intimate, Mr. Konts went to Balti more in 1871 to attend Richard Mal colm Johnston’e school, where he re mained for three years. In 1874 he started In business by accepting a post tlon as clerk In a cigar store. A year later he became a conductor for the Pullman Sleeping Car Company and wns so successful that he was appoint ed assistant agent In Atlanta, and Ister agent. In 1879 he was made superin tendent of the Pullman Company’s At lanta district, which embraced practi cally the whole South.

NEW YORK BANKS HOARDING CA8H. New York, Nov. 18.—That the enor mous sums of money released by the treasury department to relieve the sit. uatlon have been locked In the vaults banks nnd trufct companies rtcad of being put into circulation was revealed yesterday when a prominent trust company of New York sent out a circular stating that they had on re serve 11 In cash and the equivalent of cash for every dollar of depoalts on demand. Because of the announcement by Secretary Cortelyou that bids had al ready come In so fast as to make tho new bond and loan certificate Issue a success and that 75 per cent of tho purchase price of the bonds and cer tificates will be left on deposit with tho bunks purchasing the securities, the stock market became strong today and advances were made all along the line.

Lively, market and financial editor of The At< lanta Georgian. In recognition of the fact that Mr. Lively standi at the very top of hls profession In the Bouth, he has been appointed the local represen tative of the New York Cotton Ex change. "We want accuracy and reliable fig ures," said the letter, offering him the post. “That Is why wa ask you to serve Tie." He has also been made local repre sentative of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange. Secretary J. G. Hester has known Mr. Lively personally for years, and has every confidence In hls ability and accuracy. If there is anything In this world that gives Mr. Lively genuine distress and worry It Is for Inaccuracies to areep into the' market reports, a page filled with figures and tables. When “Unde Joe" gets a particularly stren uous hump on himself, and runs up and down stairs, chases blocks and uses the telephone vigorously, the of fice knows that he has found some lit tle Inaccuracy. And he won’t rest sat isfied until It Is run down and cor rected. He began life’s battles as a printer, and came to love figures and market reports by "setting them up” In type. On April 26, 1878, he began work on The Atlanta Constitution on the mar kets. He wasn’t the obsa of the job then, but he took to It naturally. Mar. ket reports In those days were con- sldered pretty full If they ran a column. Now a page or more Is used to cover market and financial matters. Mr. Lively kept pegging swsj he accumulated a vast deal of I edge about hls business. He enlarged the scope of hls reports and made hls markets famous for completeness and accuracy. He has visited all the big exchanges In the country, Npw York. Chicago. New Orleans, and has seen the Inner workings there. It made hls grasp of the business complete. It Is a singular coincidence that Mr. Lively began hls eareer as a market editor on April 25, 1878. and that on April 26, 1906. Just twenty-eight years later, he assumed charge of The At lanta Georgian's market and financial department. That was the day on which The Georgian was born, and Mr. Lively has.made the department In this paper second to none In the country. He will send to the New York ex change statements as tn cotton move ments in this section. They want hie service because they know he Is abso lutely reliable and as accurate as It Is possible for a human being to be. yalTscores IN FIRST HALF FIRST HALF. Yale' 6. Harvard 0.

Such wa.i the decision rendered by the executive committee which ha* In session at the Piedmont since Friday morning. The ense of the suspension of the University of Georgia will be taken up by the committee after the lunch re- ess and the members of the committee nnounce that they expect a decision bout 6 o'clock. * The clearing of the Tech team was omplete In every way. The commit tee took tip the charges one by one and leclared that they were not proven. They vouched for the amnteur standing every man who has been under Are. When the decision waa rendered ere wns a big demonstration by Tech students. Every man under Are waa hcered again and again and the lobby of the Piedmont rang for ten minutes with college yells. The report of tho committee Is: At a meeting of the executive com* mlttee of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, held In the Pied- jnt Hotel, In tho city of Atlanta, on jvember 22, 1907, which was attended by Dr. W. L. Dudley, president; Pro- E. T. Holmes, secretary; Pro fessor W. M. Riggs and Vice Chan cellor B. L. Wiggins, the following charges were presented by A. T. Cox, citizen of Atlanta, to-wlt: 1. That the abovo Institution, with knowledge of a member of Its faculty and executed through Its coach. Mr. J. W. Helnman, Inaugurated a scholar* ship through ono Daniel Brothers, a clothing Arm of Atlanta, Oa„ for th# purpose of Inducing football players or •layer to com# to the Technological Ichool to play football and for main taining the said player or players while at the said Institution, the same being In violation of the rules of the .South ern Intrrcnllcgiate Athletic Association. Thai one W. A. HI ms was Induced to attend the said school and play foot ball by use of the said scholarship, and the expectation of money to be re- relveik therefrom. That the following named parties, members of the Tech nological School football team, wer# beneficiaries under the same scheme, to-wlt: Davis, "Swede” Johnson and Sims. ”2. That one J. W. Helsman, coach of the Technological School team, of fered ituch Inducements as appear In sworn copy of letter hereto attached, to one Davidson, better known as Jer ry Davidson, of the Dahlonega Agri cultural School, In which the said J. \V. Helsman attempted to get the sAid Davidson to attend the Technological School. That J. W. Helsman paid on# Sima, a player of Te« -hmdngiral School team, fourteen (|14) dollars to •lay In game of football on December 1906, as appears In letter of TV. A. HI ms to Mr. H. H. Gordon, dated No vember 19, 1907, the said game being ;layed In Atlanta, Ga.—the said Sim# iving out In the country from Htatum, Go., and attending the Dahlonega Ag ricultural School, and that the team on which he played was not hls own team. That after this transaction the said Helsman allowed the said Simms to play on the Tech team against Ten nessee. "4. That as appears In the affidavit of one R. R. Cofer, that the said D#- vls, a member of the Tech team, re ceived money for playing on the said team, and that Johnson and Fitzsim mons are receiving their expenses for otlendlng the Technological nnd there playing football.” After considering the affidavits pre- • * nt*•< 1. and hearing oral testimony from tho witnesses present, tho com mittee unanimously makes the follow ing findings and decision: A# to the charges set out in para graph 1, the committee found the facte to ho an follows: An arrangement was made with Dan iel Brothers, a clothing Arm of Atlanta, Go., whereby n student of the Georgia School of Technology was to act a# agent for said Arm. receiving a com mission of 10 per cent on all .sales ef fected through him to students of the Georgia School of Technology. The evidence goes to show that this was a bona Ade business transaction; that It was expected that service would be rendered In proportion jo the remuner ation. There was no evidence to show that thl* arrangement was in any way a subterfuge for the evasion of the laws of the S. I. I. A., although the commit tee strongly recommends that the fac ulties of the several institutions would carefully Investigate all such arrange ments so as to guard against remunera tion for nominal or Inadequate service. It appears from tho evidence that on# W. A. Sims, a student of the Georgia School of Technology, was the duly appointed agent of said Arm of Danl#l Brothers, and that Messrs. Davis and "Swede" Johnson were not beneAclartes under this contract, as alleged. The committee finds absolutely no justification for any Insinuating charge against or refiection upon Dr. K. G. Matheson, president of the Georgia School of Technology.
