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.

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.

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.
