Dee. 5. -Rills to en force drasti ■ chang< s in stock ex changes and clearing house associa tions through the country will he in troduced in congress in January. This announcement was made here today by Representative Pujo, of Louis iana. chairman of the housr commit tee on banking and currency. whos> investigation of the money trust and Its ramifications will be resumed on Mon day. "I believe it has been eleariy shown that the stock and some of the pro duce exchanges, as well as most, of the clearing house associations, are conspiracies in restraint of trade." said Representative Pujo "As such, their business ought to be barred from the mails, and I am sure the committee will recommend such action In list ing securities, by restrictions and by imposing limitations, the clearing houses and exchanges become vast monopolies. The New York stock ex change is a striking example of this business domination. "If they are not reorganized they will be treated exactly as the Louisiana lot tery was treated. Ido not believe Fed eral incorporation of stock ■ xehanges will be attempted, but Federal super vision will be demanded. "Prosecutions, both civil and crimi nal, may result from our investigation. We will produce the facts and call at tention to the reforms we deem neces sary. and urge new laws to cope with the situation." Among the bills to be introduced will be one prohibiting limitations upon the listing of securities on stock exchanges, prohibition of members’ limitations and Federal supervision.

Jr., the Columbus, Ga., self-confessed check forger, today is < n route to his home with hist aged father, John T. Fletcher. Sr . millionaire man ufacturer. Young Fletcher is practically recov ered from the attack of appendicitis which caused his removal from a cell at police station to the charity hospital, where, it was reported, his death was but a matter of a few hours.

"Don't want Fletcher now," was the gist of all. The elder Fletcher has declared that he would give his wayward son an other chance to make good. The bad checks cashed here, aggregating more than S2OO, have been settled. Charges still are pending against young Fletcher in the criminal courts, however, and he has been released formally under $1,250 bond. SLAYER OF STEPFATHER TO GO ON TRIAL TODAY MONTGOMERY.

Superstitious Sailor Alone Left of Crew of 18 RATS QUIT FATED SHIP CHICAGO, Dec. s.—Hoxv the rats de serted the Christmas ship Rose Sim mons, now given up as lost in Lake Michigan, with seventeen men, before she weighed anchor from her last port and how her crew were weighed down by superstitious forebodings of death was told today by Hogan Hoganson, the only member of the crew who Is believed to have escaped. Hoganson charged that the schooner was overloaded and carried no life boats. Hoganson is alive because he quit his post before the schooner made her last voyage, sailing from Manistique, Mich., for Chicago. November 17. She was due here November 20. The ship was given up for lost when Captain Ewald, in charge of the Pent water life-saving station, found wreck age, consisting of a "booby” hatch, to which clung fragments of Christmas trees. Christmas trees were picked up along the beach. "It was tile rats that gave me my first ’hunch’ that trouble was ahead for the Rose Simmons." said Hogan son today.

SPOKANE IS SHOCKED BY AN OUTLAWED DANCE SPOKANE. WASH, Dec. s.—The outlawed "hootchy-kootchy" of the Bar bary coast, that has been under the ban in Spokane for five years, and the high piny of the almost forgotten gambling days were the outstanding features of a wild night at "Spokane dlgglns," attended by 5.000 as an ad junct of tile American Mining con gress. ship while it lay in the Chicago harbor. All the way across the lake, as we sailed for our cargo, the old saying had been ringing in my ears—the rats al ways desert a sinking ship. “Our trip over was in as fair weather as one could wish to see —just like mid summer. “When we had filled the hold with Christmas trees at Manistique we were ordered to pile up a dockload of the saplings. The load grew and grew and still they had us piling more and more trees on deck. “Then I quit. Captain Schuenemann, the owner of the cargo, told me I would get no money unless I stuck for the cruise, but I had some money, and so I took a train for Chicago. Here I am—and the others?” Captain Nelson was worried about the ship before he left Chicago, accord ing to Hoganson. When the rats left the Rose Simmons the captain told Captain George Demar, of the Chicago harbor police, that he feared it was a bad omen. The old schooner never car ried such a thing as a lifeboat, Hogan son said. INDICTED OFFICIAL ACCUSES OWN SON OF TAKING BRIBES JACKSONVILLE, FLA., Dec. s.—Ths grand jury of this.

GIRI S LEHR FIGHT FOR NEW SCHOOL Wee Suffragists Exact Promise of Councilman Greer to Help Them. Continued from Page One. you?" asked the genial official as he smiled upon his little callers. Councilman Is Touched. "Mr. Greer, we're a committee from the Davis Street school, and we want , you to build us a new school house,” explained little Miss Marcelle Lyon, as she laid a tender little hand appeal ingly on the councilman’s arm. "And if you'll just help us. we know we’ll get it, too," spoke up little Miss Ina Louise Harris. The councilman, affectionately pat ting one of the little suffragists on the head, was just about to reply when little Miss Gladys Hill, catching hold of his other arm, and in a pleading tone spoke up: "Please do, Mr. Greer, help us lit tle girls out. We want a new school so badly.” "Just Count on Me.” The councilman placed his arms about the three little girls and smiled broadly. The little politicians had won —and they knew it. Glancing up into his beaming eyes, they smiled glee fully as he remarked: "Where is the man who could resist such a committee as this?” And then he added, quickly: “Just count on me. my little girls. I'm the best friend Davis Street school has in Atlanta. Os course, you need a new school, and just put it down that I’m going to do all I can to help you get it Don’t fail to call on me. It'll be one of my greatest pleasures to place you little girls in a brand-new school building.” The councilman was, well rew’arded for his pledge by the sensation of joy that ran riot in his heart and by the scene that followed. For he had made three little girls wonderfully happy. Flapping their hands and fairly leap ing and dancing in an ecstacy of de light. the girlish committee almost smothered'the smiling councilman with thanks, just such profuse thanks as only a joyful child can give. Also Win a Treat. The little girls had played the game well and had won—today they feel as if a new school building is a certainty. When the conference was at an end and the jollification had somewhat sub sided, Councilman Greer seized his hat and beckoned to the trio of girls, with the invitation: “Come with me." Into the nearest? ice cream parlor the little party filed and, as guests of the councilman, the- girls enjoyed a deli cious treat —ice cream soda. Their unanimous verdict today is that Councilman Greer is “the finest man in town.” FIVE MONTHS OF WORK AHEAD OF U. S.

Girl, 8, Proves She Is a Competent Witness HELPS PAPA GET DIVORCE Eight-year-old Annie Myers, re spendent in a bright red dress and blue toque, pulled closely around her ears, demonstrated to Superior Judge Pen dleton, in third division, today that she was as competent as any witness that has ever faced him.

"What would happen to you if you told a story?” asked the judge when CAN ONE MARRY HIS NIECE IN GEORGIA? COOK PONDERS LAW Phil Cook, secretary of state, today received an inquiry from James A. St. Clair, an attorney of York, Pa.; asking if a man can marry his niece in Geor gia. The secretary looked into the code and found that whereas a man in this state is specifically prohibited from marrying his mother-in-law or his wife’s granddaughter, the/e Is no spe cific prohibition against marrying his niece. The code specifies that marriages "within the Levitical degrees of con sanguinity” are illegal and void, but there is much difference of opinion as to exactly what that means. The courts never have passed upon the validity of a marriage between uncle and niece in Georgia, although it seems that a mar riage between a nephew and aunt has been held to be void. First cousins may marry In Georgia, and frequently do, and marriages between uncle and niece are of record. Secretary Cook will not answer the Pennsylvania man’s letter, however, until he has run down a few more sec tions of the law with respect to marry ing and giving in marriage in Georgia.

GETS WARRANT FOR MAN HE SAYS TRIED TO HUG WIFE ROME, GA., Dec. s.—“He tried to hug and kiss my wife,” said C.
