British Admiralty Head Loses Pa
pers and $2,500 After Visiting
Riviera Gambling Resort,
LONDON April 23 - Winston
Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty
and one of the foremost statesmen in
England, it was learned to-day, has
been the victim of a most daring and
sensational robbery, in which a beau
tiful and mysterious young woman is
suspected tut the possible 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 eager
ly be 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 haa put Scotland Yard detectives
on the trail of an aristocratic band
which has just 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, rioted 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 (“lose attention
to Churchill and his piay.
While chatting with this young
woman the First Lord of the Ad-

Express Messenger Sentenced to
Eighteen Months for Stealing
Five Thousand Dollars.
JE8UP GA.. April 23. J Dillard
Stringer must serve eighteen months
m the penitentiary for stealing $.'>,000
, from an express package in transit
I by tlie 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 wanting money that wasTiot
honestly earned, pronounced sentence.
Stringer stole the $5,000 on tho»
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 T 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 lie was delivering the sentence.
Plea From Home Town.
A petition from Stringer’s home
town of Pine Park was directed to
tlie 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 Ji^^e concerning the pre
vious good- character of the prisoner.
He stated 401* l Stringer had a good
reputatlpn 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 nerving 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

BREED B! COOK
Secretary of State, in Report,
Says Many Companies Are Op
erated Solely for Promoters.
Secretary of State Philip Cook, m
his annual report, rtiade public to
day, calls on the Legislature to make
revision of charter laws of the
tate, particularly clauses permitting
ailroads with trackage of 1.000 miles
o obtain charters at as small an ex
penditure as companies whose tracks
re 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 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 was
legion. He declared many so-called
investment companies, industrial
banking companies and similar or
ganizations were operating Witho it
any regard for the benefit of the
stockholders, but only for the profit
of the promoters.
"It is to be regretted,” he observed,
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.
ith an aggregate capital stock of
$1,540,000, and of a number of trust
nd banking companies, with an ad
ditional capital stock, bringing the
total to $2,240,000. The increase in
capital stock f>\• ail chartered State
nstitutions was $3,460,000.
Fourteen new railroad companies
ere incorporated during the year,
ith an aggregate capital stock of
3.750,000 and a trackage of 92S
miles.
