1 Disappearance of Atiantan
While in Chicago.
The I’idelity and Deposit Company of
i Maryland today xvas granted authority I
| by the superior court to continue the
I construction of the Pulton court house,
carrying out the contract held by Moise
DeLeon when that prominent contractor i
disappeared in the North. No word has
been heard from the missing man. and '
: the receivers appointed to take charge '
of his busini ss today asked the court 1
,0 permit his bondsmen to continue the |
xx ork.
't he bond company guaranteed De-1
Leon for an amount twice that of his
contract, and should the work not be j
completed, the county could require the'
company to make good all losses. It I
was in the province of the company to I
tala- oxer the contract on its own ac
count. and tliis it has done, upon order
of the court. The receivers. Ronald
Ransom and H. L. Frazer, signed the
petition asking that the bondsmen be
permitted to assume the contract and
continue it.
W’fe B.efnses to
Give Up Hope.
1 While no word has come from Moise
I DeLeon since he left a Chicago suburb
j several weeks ago. presumably to go to
I Saginaw, Mich., for a fishing trip, his
wife continues to express her contl- i
dence in his return.
• I shall never give up hope—never,”
she told a reporter. "I am confident Mr.
DeLeon is in the woods somewhere and
will return.”
Friends of the contractor are not so
optimistic. They point out that De-i
Leon was methodical, careful, far- >
| seeing, and they say lie would never I
I have gone axvay and left his business I
li'ifairs unprovided for. They believe he |
i xx andered into some Chicago slum, was i
I -and-bagged by gangsters for the heavy
roll of bills and the fine watch he al
xvays carried, and his body sunk in the
lake or' rivi r. The Chicago police have
made a diligent search. Several bodies
llmve been found and examined at the
j morgue, but none xvas that of the At
| lama contractor.
There is not the slightest clew to the
1 mov, ments of DeLeon since he left a

St. Louis Speculator Believes
Total Will Be 3.500.000.000
Bushels This Year..
• *
ST. LOUIS. Aug 30.—T. E. Price, a St
Louis grain speculator and student of
crops, believes the corn yield of the Unit
ed States this year will surpass the total
output of any previous season. He esti
mates the yield at 3.500.000.000 bushels.
Price is confident his estimate is cor
rect and has already placed bets ag
■ gregating 51.000 that the crop will run to
I 3,000.000.000 bushels, and has SIO,OOO more
!in cash to wager on the issue. The initial
i bets were placed here and in Chicago and
I the rest will doubtless be taken within
i the next few days
During the past decade Price has been
• successful in a number of corn deals, both
; on the long and short side of the market.
He has specialized in the Indian cereal
and has a goodly following of dealers
who place confidence in his estimates and
predictions.
The government crop report for August
1 estimated the production of corn at.
2.811.000,000 bushels, but according to
Price the recent rains in Kansas. Ne
braska and the southwest generally have
worked wonders and will increase the crop
by fully 600.000,000 bushels over the Fed
eral guess.
Last year s crop was only 2,531,000,000
bushels, the early bumper prospects hav
ing been blighted by the drought. In
1906 the record crop was produced. 2,927.-
(-00,000 bushels having been harvested in
that year.

“History” Tells Court Roosevelt Will Win
T. R. SEER SENT TO JAIL
'History" says that Theodore Roose
velt will be the next president of the
United States.
This is neither ancient nor modern
history, as found in the libraries and
current literature, but just plain old
every-day human history. In othei
words, "History" is the familiar term
by which Zachary T. Hall, a remark
able negro character, for years has
been known to students of the Univer
sity of Georgia.
"History" worked about the universi
ty until about three years ago, and
gained his soubriquet from the fact
that he can reel off the history of
prominent men and events by the hour,
giving names, dates and all important
data.
"History" made his Roosevelt pre
diction as he faced Recorder Pro Tern
Preston in police court. He had fallen
into the toils by reason of the fact that
he has been without a job during the
UNCLE IKE DYING
IN WILDERNESS
Senator Stephenson Is Stricken
While Hunting in Michigan
Woods—Train Goes to Aid.
ESCANABA. MICH.. Aug 30—A
special train bearing doctors, nurses and
medical supplies is being rushed into
the Michigan wilderness north of here,
in answer to a report from there that
Senator Isaac Stephenson, of Wiscon
sin. the richest member of the United
States senate, is dying in his hunting
lodge there of a stroke, superinduced
by heart failure.
A messenger was sent from Senator
Stephenson's camp to the nearest tele
graph station. 15 miles away, and word
sent here. He had to penetrate a thick
brush-grown wilderness, and was in
doubt whether the senator was still liv
ing at the time when he reached the
telegraph station.
The special train carried a car fitted
up like a hospital, so that Senator
Stephenson could be moved, if neces
sary.
Although the Stephenson family owns
the railroad over which the special train
was sent, officials of the line were; un
able to obtain any definite informa
tion early today.

He was up for idling and loitering.
Judge Preston had heard of the ne
gro and his wonderful memory, and en
tertained the police court audience by
asking the negro numerous questions
concerning men and events in the
United States and even other nations.
"History" had a ready response for
every question, and so far as those in
the court room could tell answered
every one correctly.
"I suppose you can also foretell fu
ture events.” suggested the recorder. "I
would be glad if you will tell us who
will be the next president of the United
States."
"Teddy Roosevelt." came the quick
reply.
Judge Preston then sentenced the ne

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, Aug. 30.—The people of
the United States should ask their r&p
reseYitattves In the United States sen
ate a few direct and pertinent ques
tions.
Why w«.s no attempt made by the
United States senate to probe actual
and established Standard Oil i bribery
and corruption?
Why was Mr. Archbold allowed to
ignore the Instance of proven Standard
Oil bribery and to make unsupported
allegations that had little or-nothing to
do with actual corruption?
Why was not Mr. Archbold properly
lerose-examlned on his testimony and
why was not the evidence inculpating
government officials and Incriminating
both political parties fearlessly brought
Why Were No
j Documents Demanded?
Why was not Mr, Archbold asked to
produce documents to establish the
truth of his testimony where the senate
knows perfectly well that documents
are not lacking to establish whatever is
Hue In this Standard Oil conspiracy?
Why was Mr. Archbold allowed to
leave the country when he had given
only immaterial, Inconsequential and
a largely untruthful testimony and when
i he should have been held not only as
B the main witness, but as the chief cor
ruptionist?
Why were not Senator Penrose and
other culpable United States
’ investlgatecLas to their actual gmllt in
this so-called Standard Oil investiga
tion by the senate?
i Why Were Penrose's
Assertions Accepted?
Why was Senator Penrose not asked
s to produce some proof 1n Ms defense
- when the accusations against him were
r based upon documentary evidence and
I absolute legal proof?
r Why were the empty assertions of
Senator Penrose, confessed corruption
ist. accepted without question and no
opportunity given the victims of Sena-
I tor Penrose’s attack to reply to Ms
assertions?
I lam not a partisan of Mr Ronseveit
As a matter of fact, I have neither con-'
fldence In nor admiration for Mr.
Roosevelt.
When I was battling in 19OS for ex
actly the same principles which Mr.
Roosevelt has at last appropriated a*
his party program. Mr. Roosevelt sent
Mr. Root. Tweed’s agent and his, into
the New York state fight to attack me
i and to compass the defeat of the prin
ciples for which I stood.
Why Roosevelt
Is Progressive.
, Mr. Roosevelt has since denounced
Mr. Root as a corruptionist, which he
. is. and was then. Mr. Roosevelt has
since pronounced my program right,
xxhich it is and was then. But Mr
Roosevelt did not feel that Mr. Root
was a corruptionist until Mr. Root had
opposed him, and Mr. Roosevelt did not
realize that the progressive program
was right until he saw where he could
benefit by the popular sentiment which
had been aroused in its support.
When 1 say my publications were
sustaining the assaults of privileged
for interfering with their control of the
people’s government, we had to sus
tain also the assaults of Mr. Root and
Mr. Roosevelt.
Roosevelt’s Voice
Once Joined Chorus.
When 1 and rny publications were
denounced as yellow by a chorus of
corrupt politicians and criminal corpo
rations. that chorus was sxxelled by the
melloxx voices of Mr. Root and Mr.
Roosevelt attuned to harmonious ac
cord .
Rut now that the principles vxe ad
voeated and the reforms that we urged
have become generally approved and
accepted. Mr. Roosevelt, who xvas their
main opponent, poses PHARISAICAL
LY as their chief and the champion.
I ain not, therefore unduly preju
diced In Mt. Roosevelt's facot. but the
truth in this Standard uil conspiracy is
