W INSTON CHURCHILL,
First Lord of the Brit
ish Admiralty, robbed by a
woman in a Riviera gambling
house.
STOLE,'
British Admiralty Head Loses Pa
pers and $2,500 After Visiting
Riviera Gambling Resort.
LONDON April 23.— Winston
' hurrhHl, First Lord of th* 1 Admiralty
F>nd on** of the foremost statesmen in
England, It was learned to-day, has
bean the victim of a most daring and
sensational robbery, In which a beau
tiful and mysterious young woman is
iioftpeoted as the possible agent of
some foreign power.
By the theft the First Lord of the
Admiralty not only loees $2,500 in
money, but highly important confiden
tial naval data, such as might eagar-
ly bs sought as of greatest value to
any nation not too friendly with
Great Britain.
The robbery has greatly aroused
the entire Admiralty, and Mr. Church
ill has put Scotland Yard detectives
on the trail of an aristocratic band
which has just appeared in London.
Won the Money at Card*.
The First Lord of the Admiralty
met with his misfortune Immediately
after having won th© 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 per
sons gathered around the tables.
Churchill soon was 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, with 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
miralty stowed his wad of money
away in his right hip pocket. A few
minutes later he took Ills 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 had enough, but with the
money had disappeared the pocket-
book containing notes on British naval
matters which would be extremely
valuable to foreign powers.
It is rumored the woman in the
case Is a member of an informational
band actively engaged in espionage.
The political section of Scotland Yard
is making secret Inquiries.

Express Messenger Sentenced to
Eighteen Month's for Stealing
Five Thousand Dollars.
JESUP. OA. April 23. J. Dillard
Stringer must serve 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
j evil of wanting money that was not
I honeertly earned, pronounced sentence.
Stringer stole the $5,000 on tho
| night of April 16; w*as 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 buried 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. 1 asked the express agent
in Brunjnvick 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. I 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 Home Town.
A petition from 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 of the little town. B.
A. Alderman, a merchant from Pine
Park, was in *^>urt and made a state
ment to the concerning the pre
vious good character of the prisoner.
He stated tihat 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 vll
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 Either was very touching. As
his father told him to be a good boy,
Stringer made a bravo effort to hold
up, but as the jail door swung open he
broke completely down, arid, 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.
Noted Southern Child Welfare
Speaker Promises Truth Con
cerning Conditions in South.
‘‘The child of the South must be
given his chance,” is the declaration
of Miss Jean Gordon, noted child
welfare advocate, in a letter received
to-day announcing her acceptance of
a place on the program of the South
ern Sociological Congress which con
venes here Friday.
Miss Gordon said she would make
a speech before the convention that
wilj “stir., yie South as it has never
been §t itaj * before.” It is the In
tention ©f this noted woman to pro-,
duce startling facts and figures in her
address.
“It is my aim,” she said,” to lay
bare the truth concerning the condi
tion of the child in Louisiana, a
State that has forgotten the little
lives left in its care. Its future citi
zens must be builded from the ma
terial that it now has In hand. If
this material is r ot properly brought
up the future of the State is dark.
‘‘This is my chance to bring to the
attention of the entire South condi
tions in the State in which 1 live and
I shall do it with all the vigor at my
command.”
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 th© secretary, commenting on
the present 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 wag
legion. He declared many so-called
investment cornpanies, industrial
banking companies and similar or
ganizations were operating witho it
any regard for the benefit ofr 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 banks 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 $3,460,000.
Fourteen new railroad companies
were incorporated during the year
with an aggregate capital stock of
$3,750,000 and a trackage of 923
miles.

TALLAHASSEE, FLA., April 23.—
The most eloquent speeches of this
session of the Florida Legislature were

tion by Representative Hendry, of Lee

tee.
