Keep Falling in Love
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, April 19.—A second tele
gram supposedly from Joseph W.
Martin, the missing Memphis, Tenn.,
cotton broker, was received here to
day by Captain Prior, one of Mar
lin'? friends, and set at rest all doubt
as to the American’s safety.
The telegram came from Vevey,
Switzerland, and was a counterpart
of the message received last night by
J. Lockhart Anderson. It said.
“Cease inquiries. All well. Am
writing. JOSEPH W. MARTIN.”
The search for Martin has ceased,
and it remains for Martin to clear up
the mystery of his disappearance.
Detective William J. Bums, who
dropped out of the case yesterday,
made a significant remark w4aen ask
ed why he abandoned his hunt.
“My first obligations art to the
American Bankers’ Association,” said
Mr. Burns.
This remark, taken in connection
with an earlier report that nearly
1,000 warehouse certificates held by
Martin's firm for stored cotton had
been found to be forgeries, was re
garded as highly significant.

SEN. WARREN MAKES REPLY
“Misguided Judgment in Tariff
Changes Is Creating the Real
Menace,” He Says.
WASHINGTON. April 19.—"In
Indiana I was charged with not being
progressive enough, while now I am
denominated as an archist," was the
comment of Vice President Marshall
I to-day in further explaining his views
i on wealth expressed in his New York
j speech recently which has aroused a
J storm of discussion.
”1 myself have not made any
charges against the rich men of Amer- j
lea. I have merely voiced what 1
thought to be public opinion. 1 do j
not desire to limit the accumulation
of wealth in America. 1 desire only
to call attention to those charged with ;
wrong dealings to that charge and to
give them an opportunity to disprove
it.
“I can not give my personal assent
j to a system of government which is
either paternalistic or socialistic in
its character, and I have felt that if
those who have obtained special priv
ileges through legislative enactments
really could understand the feeling of
the American people they would, in a
spirit of loyalty to our institutions,
conesnt that special privilege be
speedily done away with and that
the old fashionable Jeffersonian
theory of equal and exact justice to
all men become the economic policy
of the United States. Wipe out
special privilege end the strained re
lations betweertr^M."he enormously rich
and the great masses of people will
disappear."
Senator Warren, of Wyoming,
speaking for the regualr Republicans
in the Senate, took issue with the
Vice President. The Senator denied
that » revolution is theatened in
America because of the concentration
of wealth and added:
“If the Vice President is correctly
quoted I must say that I differ in
toto with him.
“If the speech was an attempt to
coerce the acceptance of the pending
tariff affair, it will fail of its object.
On the other hand, we are probaly
in far more danger of revolutionary
methods because of lack of employ
ment of our vast numbers of working
| men through the efforts of misguided
I judgment in making too many and
I too drastic changes in the tariff."

Surprising Turn Given Fight to
Oust Worsham and White
From Staff.
A new and startling turn was given
to-day to the fight to oust E. L. Wor

C. White, member of the university
‘faculty, frrrfrr fhw* staff'of thb* Expert

that Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president
of the Stale Agricultural College, if
the law’ is to be interpreted literally,
might not have become legally ap
pointed a member of the board of
directors of the station when he voted
for Dr. R. J. H. DeLoach as the new*
director. He should have been named
annually, whereas he has received no
appointment since 1907.
The force of this discovery is evi
dent when it is recalled that DeLoach
won his election only by the narrow
margin of 8 votes to 7, and that by
Dr. Soule’s vote. Ira Williams, the
other candidate for the directorship,
was sponsored by Worsham and
White.
Not Appainted Since 1907.
Dr. Soule was made a member of
the Board of Directors of the Exper
iment Station by Governor Hok**
Smith on October 7, 1907, "for the
term ending January 5. 1908.” The
records show ,no subsequent appoint
ment, although the law states spe
cifically that:
“A member of the faculty of the
State College of Agriculture, annual
ly to be designated by the Governor,
shall be an ex-officio member of the
boards of directors."

matter prior to the time when the

as to Dr. Soule’s eligibility to the
board in .any circumstances, because
of the fact tliat he is not a citizen .»f

the position of a member of the Board
of Directors, which has the control of
the receipts and expenditures of th *

J. D. Stringer, of Jesup, Ga., Pleads
Guilty to Rifling Package Con

Buried in the woods near Jesup, Ga., detectives early to-day
found all but $10 of the $5,000 stolen from the keeping of the
Southern Express Company, in transit between Brunswick and
Atlanta banks, and solved in record-breaking time a remarkable
mystery. ,
J. D. Stringer, Jr., 22 years old, unmarried, and with no one
dependent on him, has confessed to taking the bills and substitute
ing newspaper cuttings for them. He has been in the employ of
the Southern Express Company for two years, and in an official
statement the company says he was a trusted employee.
Stringer led detectives to the spot where the bills were buried.
They dug up the money by the light of lanterns. It was midnight
when they finished their work.
The $6,000 to-day is on its way
to the Central Bank and Trust
Corporation, where it was con
signed by the Brunswick Bank
and Trust Company.

Special Agent Watts said that Strin
ger had pleaded guilty and the case
i would go to the grand jury.

morning, a* the confession of the ex

ny’s liability.

“We would rather, however, do what
we set out to do—deliver that partic
ular package of bills.” said John B.
Hockaday. general manager of the ex
press company, to A. P. Coles, vi *e
president of ttye Central Bank and
Trust Corporation, over the telephone
■early this morning.
“All right,” said Mr. Coles. “We
would a little rather have that partic
ular money, I believe.”
So the currency will be delivered
early Monday morning.
When dug up but $4,990 was found.
Stringer had taken $10 for his Imme-
1 diate use. He returned this later.
"Stringer has been with us two
; years," said Mr. Hockaday. “He came
to us when he was 20 years old, and
now’ is 22. He had the highest recom
mendations, and we believed him
thoroughly trustworthy. He must
have thought he stood a chance t o
heat the system. Poor fool! It never
has been done—never!”
Thomas J. Watt*, chief special agent
I of the company, is given the credit
for a remarkable piece of detective
work.
Chief Watts worked in conjunction
with Sheriff D. S. Price, of Wayne
County, and after twenty hours’ work
the Sheriff arrested Stringer, of
j Thomasvllle, at his room In the
Wayne Hotel at Jesup. Sheriff Price
placed him in the county jail, where
he remained until hie trial in the jus
tice court this morning.
Motive for Theft a Mystery.
Reports from the company’s detec
tives are that Stringer is completely
unnerved, and that, he has given them
information which clears up the dis
appearance of many small article*
which have been dropping out of sight
for some weeks.
Stringer’s motive remains a mys
tery*. He is young, is of good family,
was progressing rapidly in the serv
ice and had no expenses other than for
his own support.
He is in jail at Jesup.
His run ends at Jesup at 8: SO
o’clock. He has an hour and a half
tion fn Atlanta. From Jesup It was
carried in a safe, the combination of
which was unknown to the messen
gers.
Because the package was handled so
rapidly and passed from hand to hand
so quickly in Brunswick, suspicion at
once pointed to Stringer as the only-
man who had the package from the
time it left Brunswick until it was
locked up In the safe with the secret
combination.
Company Tells of Theft.
The Southern Express Company is
sued this official statement to-day:
On April 16th. the Southern
Express Company received from
the Brunswick Bank and Trust
Company, Brunswick, Ga., a
package, containing $5,000. ad
dressed to the Central Bank and
Trust Company, Atlanta, Ga.
This parcel was handled as all
other valuables are—tinder the
protection of safes, and the per
sonal check and signature of each
employee en route.
Shipment arrived at Atlanta
5:80 a. m., and was delivered to
the Central Bank within two
hours and a half, along with other
moneys. When the package wa#
opened a few minutes thereafter
it was found that newspapers*
cut the size of biUn, had bee|$
substituted for ihe currency. 1
Tribute Paid Detective.
The express company was im
mediately notified. The bank teller
who opened the parcel fortunate
ly had not disturbed the seals.
Upon minute examination. It was
evident that the seals had been
ampered with.
The case was placed in the*
hands of Thomas J. Watts, chief
special agon* of the Southern Ex
press Company, one of the most
successful detectives the company
has ever had. It may be said, in
fact, that he seldom fails to ger
what fie goes after. Within less
than Ihirty-six hours Mr. Watte,
had landed the thief.
The substitution of tin news
papers for the money was done tip
J. D. Stringer. Jr., the nieasenger
running from Brunswick to Jesup-
lie burled the money a short dis
tance from Jesup, and the entire
amount has been recovered. Mr.
Stringer, who Is now in jail, was
considered a trustworthy employee
and his past record w*as good. Ha
has been in the service of the
company for about two years. He
is unmarried. His motive for the
deed is not known.
