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.

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 sham. State Entomohgst, and Dr. H. C. White, member of the university ‘faculty, frrrfrr fhw* staff'of thb* Expert Station, at Griffin. by the discovery 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." Attorney General Felder to-day de clined to express an opinion on the matter prior to the time when the ease might he brought to him offi cially. Not a Citizen of U. S. Question previously has been raised as to Dr. Soule’s eligibility to the board in .any circumstances, because of the fact tliat he is not a citizen .»f the United States. By some persons the position of a member of the Board of Directors, which has the control of the receipts and expenditures of th * Experiment Station, is regarded as a State office. If their contention holds. Dr. Soule, being an alien, would be prevented from holding membership.

J. D. Stringer, of Jesup, Ga., Pleads Guilty to Rifling Package Con signed to Atlanta Bank—Money Is Found Buried in the Woods. 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. Pleads Guilty to Charge. w'alt for the connection train.

In a telegram to General Manager J. B. Hockaday, of the Southern Ex press Company, this morning, Chief Special Agent Watts said that Strin ger had pleaded guilty and the case i would go to the grand jury. The Southern Express Company of fered to pay the amount to the Cen tral Rank and Trust Corporation this morning, a* the confession of the ex press messenger had fixed the compa ny’s liability. To Deliver Money Monday. “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.

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.
