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 has put Scotland Yard detectives on the trail of an aristocratic hand which lias Just appeared in London. Won the Money at Card6. 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 ;i fashionable house, noted for high play, where he found many well known society Iver 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 c ongratulated on his sudden streak of luck, especially by a beautiful young woman, who, with two aristocratic- looking men, had*paid dose attention to Churchill and Ills play. While chatting with this young woman the First Lord of the Ad miralty stowed his wad of raoiS?y away in his right hip pocket. A few minutes later he took his leave. It was not until he was aboard his cruiser and lie started to tell about his luck that he found the wad was missing.

JESUP, GA.. 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 ajid Judge Graham, after lecturing him on the evil of wanting money that was not 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: “1 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. I asked the express agent in Brunswick to wire Avery to come at once, but lie would not do it. I never did anything like this before and 1 never will again. I want to ask the mercy of the court.” During his statement Stringer was very nervous and collapsed into ills 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 court and made a state ment to tlie 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 f*erving as clerk of the Pine Park ehurch 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 Jike 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. ■i Established 1865 EISEMAN BROS., Inc.

BLUE W LI URBED BK Secretary of State, in Report, Says Many Companies Are Op erated Solely for Promoters. Secretary of State Philip Took, 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 m les 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 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 without any regard for the benefit of the stockholders, but only for the profit of the promotet-9. ‘‘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.
