woman in a Riviera gambling
house.

and one of the foremoPt ptateamen In

sensational robbery, in which a beau
tiful and mysterious young woman is
suspected as the poaaible agent of
some foreign power.
By the theft the First Lord of the
Admiralty not only loses $2,500 in
money, but highly important confiden
tial naval data, such as might eagsr- |
ly ba sought as of greatest value to j
any nation not too fritndly with
Graat Britain.
The robbery has greatly aroused |
the entire Admiralty, and Mr. Church-
111 has put Scotland Yard detectives
on the trail of an aristocratic band
which has Ju.st appeared In London.
Won the Money at Cards.
The First Lord of the Admiralty
met with his misfortune immediately
after having won the money at cards
on the Riviera recently.
Shortly after visiting Toulon,
Churchill’s cruiser anchored off
Cannes, where the First Lord received
an invitation to go ashore.
He went alone to a fashionable
house, noted for high play, where he
found many well known society j)er-
sons gathered around the tables.
Churchill soon w^s engrossed in a
game, and after an hour's play found
himself richer by $2,500. The First
Lord of the Admiralty was warmly
congratulated on his sudden streak of
luck, especially by a. beautiful young
woman, who, witli two aristocratic-
looking men, had paid close attention
to Churchill and his play.
While chatting with this young
woman the First Lord of the Ad-

mlralty stowed his wad of money
away in his right hip pocket. A few
minutes later he took his leave. It
was not until he was aboard his
cruiser and he started to tell about
his luck that he found the wad was
missing.
This was bad enough, but with the
money had disappeared the pocket-
book containing notes on British naval
matters which would be extremely
valuable to foreign pow'ers.

Express Messenger Sentenced to
Eighteen Months for Stealing
Five Thousand Dollars.
JESUP, GA April 23.—.1. Dillard
Htringcr must «orve eighteen months
in the penitentiary for stealing $5,000
from an express package in transit
by the Southern Express Company
between the Brunswick Bank and
Trust Company and the Central Bank
and Trust Corporation of Atlanta. The
young express messenger, who, when
arrested, confessed the theft and re
turned the entire amount stolen, was
arraigned to-day In Wayne Superior
Court. He pleaded guilty and Judge
Graham, after lecturing him on the
evil of ..anting money that was not
honestly earned, pronounced sentence.
Stringer stole the $5,000 on thc>
night of April 16; was arrested two
nights later, when he confessed and
returned the money; was indicted
yesterday and sentenced to-day.
Collapses in Court.
Stringer made a pathetic statement
to the court. He said:
“I was drunk and took the money.
I brought it here and burled it for
safe-keeping. As I got sober, I real
ized what I.had done and decided to
return the money. I thought of my
father and mother and my God, and I
wanted to return the money. I would
not give it to the detectives, but I
wanted to give it to my route agent,
Mr. Avery. I asked the express agent
in Brunswick to wire Avery to come
at once, but he would not do it. I
never did anything like this before
and I never will again. 1 want to ask
the mercy of the court.”
During his statement Stringer was
very nervous and collapsed into his
seat when he finished, the judge hav
ing to repeat his order to stand up
while he was delivering the sentence.
- Plea From Homo Town.
A petition lrom Stringer’s home
town of .Pine Park was directed to
the Solicitor General, requesting that
as light a sentence as possible be im
posed. It was signed by all, of the
leading citizens cf the little town. B.
A. Alderman, a merchant from Pine
Park, was in court and made a state
ment to thf? judge concerning the pre
vious good character of the prisoner.
He stated that Stringer had a good
reputation at home, was never known
to drink or carouse, and that the news
of the robbery was a shock to the vil
lage.
Stringer is a member of the Baptist
Church and was serving as clerk of
the Pine Park church up to the time
he went to work for the express com
pany.
The parting between the boy and
his old father was very touching. As
his father told him to be a good boy,
Stringer made a brave effort to hold
up, but as the jail door swung open he
broke completely down, and, throwing
his arms around his father’s neck,
wept like a child. After a moment he
recovered, and, handing his father a
letter, went into the jail.
C. E. Stringer, the father, and Mr.
Alderman, Stringer’s former employ
er, prepared to leave at once for home.

Secretary of State, in Report,
Says Many Companies Are Op
erated Solely for Promoters.
Secretary of State Philip Cook, in
his annual report, made public to
day. calls on the Legislature to make
a revision of charter laws of the
State, particularly clauses permitting
railroads with trackage of 1,000 miles
to obtain charters at as small an ex
penditure as companies whose tracks
are only a mile long.
"Fees for charters to corporations
ought to measured by the magnitude
of the corporate property or The
amount of the capital employed,”
said the secretary, commenting on
the pre.-tent provisions. "The char
ter fee for a small bank with a capi
tal of $25,000 is the same as that
for a bank of $500,000.”
Stringent legislation was urged
against “wildcat" financial institu
tions. whose name he said was
legion. He declared many so-called
Investment companies, industrial
banking companies and similar or
ganizations were operating without
any regard for the benefit of the
stockholders, but only for the profit
of the promoters.
"It Is to be regretted,” he observe. 1,
"that the bill known as the ‘blue sky
law,’ introduced in the last Legisla
ture by Senator W. J. Harris, failed
of passage."
Mr. Cook reported the incorpora
tion of fifty-two hanks during 1912,
with an aggregate capital stock of
$1,540,000. and of a number of trust
and banking companies, with an ad
ditional capital stock, bringing the
total to $2,240,000. The increase in
capital stock f.y all chartered State
Institutions was $8,460,000.
Fourteen new railroad companies
w ere incorporated during the yea :
with an aggregate capital stock of
$8,730,000 and a trackage of 92S
miles.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA , April 23.—
The most eloquent speeches of this

precipitated in the Home by a mo

$10,000 to erect a monument to Henry
M. Flagler at Key West.

their feet to plead against an "insult

who now lies at the point of death at
