Girl Who Fled Home toWed Caught I 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 Bartow county girl, who mysteriously disappeared from her wealthy 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 she has been since her d'sappearance, wafting the arrival of Charley Stone, of Dalton, Ga.. and the marriage that was to fol low after his advent In Atlanta "I beileve 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 1 don’t believe there are chains strong enough." Father Frowned on*Match. The romance between Stone and Miss Go e 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 11.5. OFFICERS HIT IN REPORT ON HEMES 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" in 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 to 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 vascillating 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 afte it was made out ostensibly by the de partment. the report says that "the circular was objectionable to certain | persons who ".ere 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 Eve'- glades lands and falsely attributing the authorship to Secretary Wilton." Ex-Engineer Assailed. Supervising Engineer J. O. Wright is assailed by the report for his con duct while carrying on drainage proj ects forth- department. After calling attention to the fact 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 tran-actions of Mr. Wiight 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 we e still in the govern ment service your committee would un hesitatingly recommend his dismissal therefrom." Assistant Secretary of Agriculture F. M. Hays is alto criticised in the report ; for taking an option on a land project near Raleigh. N. <’.. and fo> being as sociated with Wright.

While Liverpool'; cables rallied after a weak start the cot ton market here moved independently at . the opening, beginning 1 to 6 points under j Saturday's closing under pressure from spot room trade. Reports of rain over ' the Texas belt added firmness to the mar- I 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 prices rallied back toward the early prices. The uptown crowd and Waldorf interest were good buyers, which was thought io be short covering Also large spot in terests were credited with buying at times, but were openly offering, and through this heavy buying prices during the afternoon session quickly regained the early decline, with prices S to 11 points above the opening figures. The market was given strength later, on report that the eastern bell is deteriorating, while Texas shows some Improvement. It Is believed that the nexl two weeks will de termine to a great extent what the trade expects, and (here 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.
