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.

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- SEMI-ANNUAL STATEMENT For the six months ending June 30. 1912. of the condition of the INDIANA NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE CO., OF INDIANAPOLIS, Organized under the laws of the state of Indiana, made to the governor of 'he state of Georgia, in pursuance to the laws of said state.

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.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. HONDA Y, AUGUST 19, 1912. SHORT TRADERS SENDGOTTONUP’ Prices Advance When They « i Cover Margins—Early Of ferings Absorbed. ■ 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 urday. RANGE OF NEW YORK FUTURtS.

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 I condition report is expected, and before | that time we expect to see a considerable 1 advance an<l a dissipation of the claim ) that this crop is more than fourteen mil : lion bales. | ‘I think I would bp careful tn avoid the short side and work only to the long I side. 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 iana.” Geer was credited with selling Mitchell x.OOO October during the first few minutes of the morning session.
