Pujo Committee Quizzes Balti
more Bankers Barred From
Association.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. —Tlie house
money trust investigating committee
pushed its inquiry into the Baltimore
Clearing House association today when
it resumed its session begun last May.
Baltimore bankers who had been de
nied tlie privilege of membership in
that association were sharply ques
tioned by Samuel Untermeyer, counsel
for the committee, as to why they had
been shut out. They unhesitatingly re
plied that they did not know.
John R. Bland, president of the Unit
ed States Fidelity and Guaranty Com
pany, of Baltimore, admitted that he
had received Information that his in
stitution was to be received into the
association since the agitation started
by he money trust investigating com
mittee had begun.
Untermeyer tried to get tlie witness
to admit that the committee’s action was
responsible for the action, but he re
fused to admit it.
Refused Membership.
The first witness before the commit
tee wan William W. Cloud, president
of tlie State Bank of Maryland, a Bal
timore institution with a capital of
.$500,000.
Untermeyer questioned him about the
Baltimore Clearing House association,
and Cloud said the application of his
bank for a membership in the associa
tion had been refused.
"What reason was given?”
‘‘•We were told we would have to
become full members if we wanted to
clear.”
cloud said they made two applica
tions for membership, the latter one in
Muy, 1911, but were informed that his
institution could not be admitted. He
•said his bank still was seeking mem
bership and was willing to subscribe to
all the clearing house regulations to
get it.
< 'loud said ills bank had conformed
to clearing house rules regarding
charges for the collection of out-of
town bills, and intimated there was no
difficulty on that charge.
All Harmony in Committee.
When the session was formally open
ed Chairman Pujo read a statement in
which he predicted that it would be
necessary to correct the many “unau
thorized, misleading and inspired re
ports circulated regarding the commit
tee’s work.” He. said a hostile effort
had been made to embarrass the in
quiry and no statement unless made at
tlie committee had been taken as of
ficial.
‘‘At no time has there ever been any
friction between members of the com
mittee.” be said. “The utmost har
mony lias prevailed from the begin
ning. and a report to the contrary has
been sheer fabrication. Nor has there
been any authority for persistent pub
lished reports as to proposed remedies
or legislation."

GRAND HAS FEATURE BILL
FOR PATRONS THIS WEEK
Vaudeville feature acts from every
principal circuit in America have been
assembled to appear at the Grand this
week. The promise of the management
that this would happen has been fulfilled
with good measure For the last two
weeks at the big theater the attendance
has been of the kind that follows all the
attractions that have magnetic strength.
In selecting this bill, the Keith people
have perhaps assembled more variety
tfean any seven-act program yet seen
here There is farce comedy, comedy
magic, trained animals, black-face fun,
musical comedy and gymnastics.
The star feature will be Edgar Alche
scn-Ely ami company presenting "Billy's
Tombstones,” a vaudeville version of the
Shuberts’ great farce comedy. Mr. Atche
son has scored a splendid success with
this, and it is believed will prove to be
one of the great hits of the Grand sea
son.
The popular number will be the ap
pearance of Miss Winona Winter. Miss
Winter Is a product of Dixieland, and
-luring the last five ygars has been one
of the recognized stars of vaudeville and
musical comedy. She is a most versatile
little woman, and is well known socially
in Atlanta.
Don Faluno. “The Wonder Horse:”
Honalr anil Wood in “Ocean Breezes;”
Lydell and Butterworth in black-face
comedy; the Van Osman troupe in gym
nastics. and Martini and Maxrnillian in
comedy magic, make up the bill.
“MADAME SHERRY” BEGINS
WEEK’S RUN AT LYRIC
Because every one all over the country
is humming, singing or whistling some
numbers of the score of the big sensa
tional musical success, "Madame Sherry,”
the impression is current in some quar
ters that the production's charm is in
greater part musical. The mirth ‘quali
ties of the play are no less engaging than
its score. The love of a man for a maid
under odd circumstances, love of the soul
ful. romantic sort, love that blossoms in
tiie heart of youth and flourishes as true
love ever does when things do not go
smoothly, is the reigning spell of the pro
duction. but this love, this courtship, is
so beset on every side and attended by
so many niisadvantages, that while itself
remaining an appealing interest, all its
accessory situations arouse sentiment.
A company df noted celebrities will be
seen here in the sensational French
vaudeville, as it is termed, among whom
are Miss Reine Davries, Betty Barnell,
Maud Irving. Ida May, Fred Frear,
James Darling, Cyril King and 25 others.
A number of new ideas in gowns and
millinery are displayed by a charming
group of choristers. "Madame Sherry"
opens a week’s engagement tonight at
the Lyric.

"Tiie Three of Us,” one of tlie stand
ard plays of modern times, is to be the
offering of the Bunting company at the
Forsyth this week.
The play is one of keen interest with
plenty of humor. It tells the story of the
struggles of three people in the Nevada
mining camps, and the good side and the
bad side is balanced until the last mo
ment when virtue as usual triumphs.
Miss Bunting and Mr. Whitaker are
both well east and Leslie Webb and Mas
ter Bottley, the local boy, will have star
roles. A splendid scenic production is

E FIFTY? YOU
NEED “CASCARETS”
What glasses are to weak eyes—
Cascarets are to weak
bowels.
Most old people must give to th*
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condition
is perfectly natural. It is just as nat
ural as it is for old people to walk
slowly. For age i« never so active as
youth. The muscles are less elastic.
And tlie bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
witli glasses as to neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at
I all ages, but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But a lash can't be
used every day. What the bowels of
the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly used
without harm. The only such tonic is
Cascarets, and they cost only 10 cents
per box git any drug store. They woi k

ou give handkerchiefs, do you not?
And so does practically every woman.
Now, the store that can effect economies
for these thousands of women who give thousands
of handkerchiefs will be doing a real and worthy service. And it is
just this service that this store brings to the women of Atlanta
right now.
If there is anything that we have done well this season, it is
the assembling of this wonderful collection of handkerchiefs.
We know’ they are the prettiest that the same money can buy.
We know that one quality and style after another are priced for
less than elsewhere, we know that varieties here are the greatest I
in Atlanta.
We have imported directly from the handkerchief island ot
the world, from Ireland. The handkerchiefs come in bond to us, no
middleman has made one penny of profit on them. The cost of
getting them here for you has been reduced to the very lowest.
But price is not the only reason that we go to Ireland for
handkerchiefs. It is there that the exquisite and exclusive novel
ties are to be found. And as these we have are from one of the
foremost manufacturers of Ireland—-we are his sole agent in this
Southern section—-this is really a final resort for Christmas hand
kerchiefs.
Nor is this simply our opinion—customers are very liberal in
their praise. One woman just returned from Paris—-she seemed to
have brought some of the French enthusiasm with her—-exclaimed
over the handkerchiefs she saw here, declaring them cheaper and
prettier than any she saw in all Paris.
So see them, see them now while the stock is at its fullest, and
you will appreciate why we are so positive and earnest in our dec
larations about them-—every kind and every grade is here.
