KING OF SWEDEN CLAIMED BY DEATH Continued from Page One, crowd of schoolboys, King Oscar's most devoted friends. Here they had stood for hours, blue and shivering, watching the palace flagstaff.

ATLANTA LAWYERS IN LI Wimbish, Watkins & Ellis to Argue Before Inter state Commission. 8- DAY IN JOB SHOPS Meeting Monday Night Will Settle Strike or Work. BIG FLEET OF IT Whether or not the unlomjob press men of Atlanta will quit work In a de mand for an eight-hour day depends upon the result of a meeting to.be held Monday night. At this time a commit- tee. which has been making a tour of the printing establishments during XIonday, will mako a report as to the number of employers who will agree to the shorter day. While none of the officers of the local union Is In a position to talk, It Is known that the sentiment among the 120 members of the Atlanta union le overwhelmingly In favor of the eight hour day, and the Indications are that the members will decline to work In any shop where this day Is not granted, The committee from the union vis ited the shops where union pressmen are employed Monday and requested, the employers to sign an eight-hour day agreement. A few shops are known to have done this, but It Is said that those employers belonging to the or ganization of employers known' as the Typotherne have not signed. The fight being made by the Atlanta union pressmen for a shorter day Is the same that Is being made all over the country by union pressmen, and In many cities union pressmen are now- out on ft strike because of the refusal of the employers to grant the request. President Dennis Lindsey of the lo cal union has recently returned, from Cincinnati, where he was in consulta tion with high union officials, and his views on the situation and the Infor mation lie learned were mode known at a meeting held Sunday night of the executive committee. Final action In the matter will be taken at the meeting of the union Xlon day night. It was reported at a few printing places XIonday that the press men had quit, but It Is denied by mem. hers of the union that any strike has been called. TRIBUTE TO POLICE PAID BYDR. WHITE Death of Patrolman Manier Touched Upon in Sermon. ' ’Gratitude" was the subject of _ talk by Rev. Dr. Jolin E. .White Sunday at the Second Baptist church and In cidentally he touched upon the mur der of Policeman XIanler: Robert Burns, Impecunious genius, burdened with personal debts, sang of the glorious privilege of being Inde pendent,’ and wo fancy that we oro all coming to the point when we wifi be under obligation to nobody,” sold Dr. White. "But we never will. I have heard a man say, 'I am the archi tect and contractor of my own fortune. I did It myself. I am not under obli gation to anybody.' Nonsense. In gratitude knows only one meaner phase han this sort of proud selfishness. You are under obligations all about you. A hundred hunds have helped the eelf-rellant, man rise. Your friends know and say of you that you are an able man, a strong man. They sup port you. But they say you aro a mean man fundamentally—a selfish man and profoundly lacking In a lov ing, grateful spirit. “Why, I am appalled when I think of my debts. Call upon mo to pay back what.I owe to men for kindness and favors done for me to help me on and my bank goes broke at once. "But, thank God, I never have nnd never will dispute the claims or dis honor the drafts humanity may draw on my gratitude. You can scarcely look In any direction without seeing somebody you owe something to. You owe something to the street car mo- torman and conductor. He Is suffer ing for your benefit. Do you ever tell him so. You are very pleased to tell the "high up” street car man that you aro pleased with tho siervice. Very well. But do you ever get down to the man who Is actually doing the thing for you? "Xtany years ago Rudyard Kipling administered a rebuke to the swash bucklers of empire who In time of dis turbance fawn upon the private sol dier as though he were one of the Im mortal gods descended from Olympus, snd then when the war drum has ceas ed for a time Its feverish throbbing, treat the same man as though he were the off-scouring of humanity. “You remember: ” 'Makln' mock at uniforms that guard you while you sleep Is cheaper than them uniforms, and they're starvation cheap.' "Who stops to tell an Atlanta po liceman that they honor him and feel under obligation to him. That Drava man, Manier, who died In his duty on Feters street. Do you think of him? He died for you. He stood In the track of the bullet that was pointedly aimed at a citizen’s breast. He was burnt to death by the fire that might have roarer In your dwelling. And yet I heard a man say that he didn't believe In taking up collections every time a policeman gets killed. Oh, It's so an noying to have a man locate himself In such an Infinitesimal space that you have to strain your eyes out to see him at all. Harry Tracy, the Texas orator, used to say that 'some men have such small souls that you could put a million In a chinquapin hull and each would die of loneliness.' "The city may yet sometime build a marble mausoleum for murdered po licemen. If It ever gets big enough first to provide some sort of accident life Ineuranre system and pay the premiums Itself, It may do It. I should Ike to furnish the motto on Its mar ble: Battleship Minnesota Sails to Join Squadron For Cruise. New York.

This firm won a famous suit of a similar nature against several Southern lines a short while ago. T.J. HARPER DEAD; FORMER OFFICIAL T. J. Harper, former city electrician, died at his residence, 48 Formwolt street, XIonday afternoon at 12:46 o’clock: after an Illness extending over six months. X!r. Harper was one of the best known electricians In Atlanta, and had a host of friends. He had been a res ident of Atlanta for over thirty-six years, coming here from Covington, Ga. where he was born. XIr. Harper was city electrician here for more than fifteen years. He leaves a widow, Xlrs. Dora Harper. No chil dren survive him. Ho Is survived by two sisters, Xlrs. Lizzie Cornwall and Mr*. Mary Most. The funeral arrangements have not been completed. SOUTHERN’S DEAL NOT KNOWN HERE S. B. Thompson, assistant to the president of the Southern railway, when seen by a representative of The Georgian Xfonday, stated that he knew absolutely nothing of the reported ad justment of, the passenger rate fight that has been waged by Governor Smith, of Georgia; Governor Comer, of Alabama, and Governor Glenn, of North Carolina. "I was not present at any of the re- I irted conferences,” stated Colonel hompson, "and. not having been noti fied of i I know uatlon,«_„ „ the newspapers. a grateful people may 'ie Xlerchants’ National, of New York, I am, therefore, not prepared to Stand watch for ther* and guard for 'hlch secured 31,000,000 In a lump at iks nnv HiatsmsiiL" - * theirs today.” "They died for us. forms «wiv. / We lay their Ing In the South than the ability of the Atlanta banks to almost double their circulation within .the course of a few weeks. Almost simultaneously with the an nouncement of Colonel Lowry that the Lowry bank would Increase Its circu lation 3300,000 came the dispatch from Washington stating this bank had been allotted 3300,000 of Panama bonds, and that the Fourth National had been at lotted 3170,000 of the bonds. In this connection It might be stated that both the Sunday papers were In error In stating that the Fourth Na tional had been awarded only 3100,000 of the Panama bonds. Third National’s Increase, In the case of the Third National, the Increase of circulation was based regular government bonde. The same will he true of the Increase, of circulation of the Atlanta National. In the case of the Fourth National, the additional circulation was rnsfio with the certificates as basis. That Is, with these government certificates as security, the Fourth National, os pro vided by law, Issued 3170,000 of bank notes. This 3170,000 will be put Into clrculatlhn In Atlanta and this Imme dlate section.' In the case of the Lowry National Bank, the 3300,000 of Panama bonds will be used as a security for the Is suance of that amount of bank notes, which will bring the latter's circula tion up to 3800,000, which Is Its capi tal stock. Tho Fourth National's cir culation, with the 3170,000 additional, Is now 3670,000, and Its capital stock 3600,000. In addition to tho Atlantn banks, many other banks over the state nnd throughout this section were allotted aome of the bonds and certificates, and will thereby Increase their circulation. Deposit Money Here. As Secretary Cortelyou and President Roosevelt have both stated that the ad dltlonal circulation Is needed In the South ,and West particularly. In order that the crops might be moved with facllty, It Is the natural assumption that tho government will ro-deposlt tho money paid for the bonds—or a largo part thereof—In this section. > That this will bo a great boon to thoi cotton farmer and to this section of tho country generally thero can ho no doubt. Tho plan Is simple: Tho government soils, for example, 3160,000 of Panama bonds. An Atlanta bank purchases theso bonds, and goes down Into Its vault, takes out tho 3100,000 plus the premium and sends It to Washington In payment The bonds aro delivered. With these irovemment bonds ns security, tho hank Issues 3100,000 of bank notes nnd puts' thorn Into circulation. This means 3100,000 In Washington and 3100.000 In Atlanta, where before there wns 3100,- 000 tn Atlanta. Tho general circulation Is Increased, therefore, 3100,000. and tho government bonds stand behind this additional 3100,000. Benefit to Atlanta, But the government does not need all this 3100,000 now. Accordingly, the government deposits all of It or a large part of It, In a national bank. Inas much as the government nffldals- thoso In authority—have stated that the additional circulation Is needed In this section so that tho cotton crop may be moved with facility, the as sumption Is that this money will bo re- deposited In this section. Going further, If It Is to he re-depos- Ited In this section, why not tn the jank which bought the bonds? If this 3106.000 Is ro-depoalted In this section, then this section has the money It originally paid for the bonds, and. In addition, has the money which was Issued with the bonds as security. The average price paid for the 326,- 000,000 of government bonds was 103 plus. Following are the banks In this state which were allotted bonds, and some of those In this Immediate sec tion: First Nations! of Xtoultrle, Colquitt county, two thousand at 102.625.
