Girl Who Fled Home toWed Caught
ELOPEMENT PLAN FAILS
Locks and chains are not strong
enough to keep her from marrying the
man she loves, declared Fannie Gore,
the eighteen-year-old Rartow county
fclrl, who mysteriously disappeared
from her father's plantation
Thursday, today at the Atlanta police
station. There, in custody of the sher
iff of Bartow, she awaited the train to
take her back to the family home.
Miss Gore was discovered early in
the day at the home of J. C. Shannon
in t’apitol View, where jhe has been
since her disappearance, waiting the
arrival of Charley Stone, of Dalton,
Ga.. and the marriage that was to fol
low after his advent In Atlanta.
"I believe now my father will permit
us to marry,” she said. “For he ought
to know that if he doesn't give his con
sent we will marry without it. He
would have to chain me in the house to
keep from joining Charley, and I don’t
believe there are chains strong
enough."
Father Frowned on Match.
The romance between Stone and Miss
Gore is months old. Soon after they
met. T. G. B. Gore, father of the girl,
forbade her meeting the man with
whom she had fallen in love. They
carried on a clandestine correspond
ence. however, a tenant on the planta
tion being the medium. It was agreed

IN REPORT ON
EVERGLADES
Moss Investigating Committee
Criticises Employees of De
partment of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Officials
in the employ of the department of
agriculture are criticised for ''impro
priety, discrimination and irregulari
ties in financial transactions” tn the
majority report of the Moss Investi
gating committee which was presented
to the house today. The report de
clares that In irrigation and drainage
projects the committee has observed
"the great degree to which this impor
tant work was permitted tn be subordi
nated at several stages of its develop
ment. to the advancement of other
work in which Individual members of
congress were particularly interested.”
The vascHlating course of the de
partment in the Florida Everglades is
described by the committee as “dif
ference of opinion between members of
congress and the state authorities of
Florida, witn the irreconcilable differ
ences in the opinions and conclusions
of engineers in the division of drainage
as another contributing cause.”
Regarding the famous Everglades in
vestigation which was suppressed after
it was made out ostensibly by the de
partment. the report says that "the
circular was objectionable to certain
persons who were offering lands for
sale The same interests which made
this objection to the circular had been
guilty of circulating highly extrava
gant statements in praise of the Ever
glades lands anil falsely attributing the
authorship to Secretary Wilson."
Ex-Engineer Assailed.
Supervising Engineer J. O. Wright
is assailed by the report for his con
duct while carrying on drainage proj
ects for the department. After calling
attention to the fa fit that Wright, in
his testimony, admitted taking money
and stock from real estate promoters
and speculators who were working
jointly on land imp ovements with the
government, the report says:
■'The Iran-actions of Mr. Wright are
repugnant to that fine sense of honor
and propriety which ordinarily distin
guishes the conduct of government of
ficials. and can not be too severely con
demned. If he were still in the govern
ment service your committee would un
hesitatingly recommend his dismissal
t herefrom."
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture F.
M. Hays is also criticised in the report
for taking an option on a land project
near Raleigh. N. <and for being as
sociated with Wright.
With regard to the irregularities oc
curring in the department with respect
to the disbursement of government
funds, the committee criticises the con-

that they marry as soon as possible,
but so close was the watch kept on het
that they decided that no definite date
could be fixed. They decided that she
should slip away whenever possible
and then notify him.
The opportunity came Thursday
night. She left home and walked nine
miles to Cartersville, where she took a
train and reached Atlanta Friday
morning.
She went to Capitol View, thinking
that the quiet suburb would shield her
from the search she knew her father
would make.
Foul Play Was Feared.
As soon as her disappearance was
discovered the search was instituted.
Neighbors feared foul play and the
countryside was scoured by posses.
Sunday Sheriff .Smith, of Bartow
county and Chief of Police Swanson,
of Acworth, came to Atlanta and noti
fied the police. Publicity was given
the disappearance and the man from
whom she had rented a room tele
phoned the officers. She had given he:
real name.
Miss Gore says that she wrote Stone
Sunday night and the suitor is believed
to be on his way to Atlanta to claim
his bride, who at the same time is
speeding away from the city to face an
irate father.

■
NEW YORK. Aug. 19,-r-While Liverpool ,
cables rallied after a weak start the cot- )
ton market here moved independently at i
the opening, beginning 1 to 6 points under j
Saturday's closing under pressure from >
spot room trade. Reports of rain over I
the Texas belt added firmness to the mar
ket later during the early trading. With- ,
In a few minutes after the opening Mc-
Fadden interests were heavy sellers and
sold the market off 8 to 13 points in most
active positions! After the call the ring
crowd and commission houses were heavy
buyers and through their aggressiveness I
prices rallied back toward the early
prices.
The uptown crowd and Waldorf interest
were good buyers, which was thought to
be short covering. Also large spot in
terests were credited with buying at i
times, but were openly offering, and
through this heavy buying prices during |
the afternoon .session quickly regained the
early decline, with prices 8 to 11 points
above the opening figures. The market
was given strength later, on report that
the eastern belt is deteriorating, while
Texas shows some improvement. It is
believed that the next two weeks will de
termine to a great extent what the trade
expects, and there Is a hesitancy among
the average trader to await further de
velopments.
At the close the market was steady
with prices showing a net gain of 6 to 8
points from the final quotations of Sat

in absence of demand and in sympathy
with cotton. There was said to f,e a bet

activity has been noted in the compound

NEW YORK. Aug. 19. Carpenter, Bag
got & Co.; Mr. Tate, of Carpenter, Bag
got & Co., says; "It is indeed hard to
Ket a line on cotton. No matter how
bullish the news is there seems to he a
disposition to sell. This last decline was
due to reports of some rain in southwest
I exas. wnicji any planter or cotton man
knows does more harm than good, but
it depressed the market, causing liquida
i tion and short selling until the price is
fast reaching a point from which a re
i bound must come, although at the mo
ment it looks as though the bears have
i control of the situation.
“A very bullish September government

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal re
I port son the growing crop during the past
as follows; "The week was favor
able over much of the larger part of the
cotton states, and in many sect’ons the
development at the present time is all
that seems possible. The plant is grow
ing very fast and is taking on fruit in
a very satisfactory manner. The earlier
boils are nearing maturltx, and if frost
is somewhat delayed, districts that once
looked poor will make a fair or a largi
crop. It is worthy of notice, howevet,
that up to August I the plant was smalt
over very wide areas and had not set
I any fruit to speak of. Since that date
it has done well, but naturally has not
made up for all early deficiencies. It is
also true that owing to the delay in this
process a late season is needed to ma
ture the crop. Exceptions to the general
progress are noted in North Carolina and
south central and southern Texas, where
rain has been insufficient to carry the
plant forward. There is very little open
cotton except in Texas. 801 l weevil are
more numerous in Mississippi and Louis
