WIFE STILL CONFIDENT THAT HE WILL RETURN No New Clew to Solve Strange 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 ! friend's home near Chicago and started | fm Saginaw.

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.

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..

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 gro to serve eleven days in the stock ade. Whether "History" will repeat him self is a question.

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
