British Admiralty Head Loses Pa
pers and $2,500 After Visiting
Riviera Gambling Resort.
LONDON Apni 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 as the possible agent of
some foreign power.
By the theft the First Lord of the
Admiralty not only loses $2300 in
money, but highly important oonfiden-
tial naval data, such as might eager- 1
ly be sought as of greatest value to
any nation not too friendly with ]
Greet Britain.
The robbery has greatly aroused
the entire Admiralty, and Mr. Church- j
ill has 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 jo a fashionable
house, noted fob 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 32.DOO. 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 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 powers.
It is rumored the woman in the
case is a member of an international
band actively engaged in espionage.
The political section of Scotland Yard
Is making secret inquiries.

Express Messenger Sentenced to
Eighteen Months for Stealing
Five Thousand Dollars.
JKHl.'P, GA„ April 23.—J. Dillard
Stringer must serve eighteen months
, in the penitentiary for stealing $5,000
I from an express package in transit
1 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
I Graham, after lecturing him on the
’ evil of wanting money that was not
| honeetly 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.
T brought it here and buried it for
safe-keeping. As I got sober, I real
ized w hat 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 coine
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 w’hen lie 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
a*» 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 the 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, ami that the news
of the robbery was a shock to the vil-
Stringer is a member of the Baptist
Church and was swerving as clerk of
the Pine Park church up to the time
he went to work for the express com
pany.
The parting betvveeh the boy and
liis 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 lie
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.

a place on the program of the South

Miss Gordon said she would ma4 e

“It 1h my aim,' she said,” to lay

1 "Complete Surrender,” Asserts
Wyoming Republican in Debate,
“to Foreign Markets.”
WASHINGTON. April 23.—"This is
no revision; it is a smashing of the
tariff, a complete surrender of our
markets to foreigners,” said Repre
sentative Mondell, Republican, of Wy
oming, in the House to-day.
"This measure surrenders the best
market in the world to foreigners
without attempt or pretense of se
curing any trade advantages* in re
turn. It will cause the loss of many
millions in revenue, the payment of
which is in the main no appreciable
burden, and proposes to fill the gap
in revenue b>* an inquisitorial per
sonal tax.
Benefits the Few.”
"We are told tljat all the sacrifices
of opportunity and enterprise thir
measure proposes are in the interests
of the people. Is it possible that our
Democratic friends, when they speak
of the people, have only in mind the
cotton planters, a few favored manu
facturers and the dwellers on the East
Side of Ney-York?
"Do the cotton kings, those who
dwell in the shadow of Tammany Hal!
and a few favored manufacturers con
stitute the people in the opinion of the
Democratic party?
“The most optimistic among you
can conjure up no line of legitimate
industry, no opportunity of honest
employment, which will be benefited
or enlarged through your legislation.
While many industries tremble in an
ticipation of the effect of your sched
ules. non** anticipates more favorable
conditions by reason of it.
"While labor in many lines is
threatened with loss of employment
or lowering of wages, no class of la
bor looks for better wages or more
constant employment as the result of
your action.
"Offers Labor Little.”
"The best that you can offer labor
is that by reducing the rewards of
the producers on the farms you may
better the conditions of the consum
ers of your products in the cities and
towns.”
Mondell charged that the Ways and
Means Committee is forcing the tar
iff bill through the House with the
co-operation of the administration
which threatens any member voting
against the bill with a loss of patron
age.

Here is Caruso’s own story of how
he played truant when he was a little
boy. and the result: "It was in the
springtime,” said Caruso, "so instead
of going to school I made friends with
the urchins of the streets, and played
truant—hookey, you call it—for one
solid month. All this time my par
ents thought T was at my books, but
one day a gossiping neighbor told
them the truth, and next day. when. I
set out. as usual, my father was spy
ing, half a block behind, though I
little suspected it.
“You know that great, wrought-
iron grille in front of the central rail
way station at Naples? Well, the
idea struck me that it would be a
delightful amusement, to climb like a
monkey, hand over hand, to the top.
So up T started, agile as an ape,
happy as the worthless little rascal
that l was. But. alas! My father,
with a stout riding whip, had follow
ed. and was standing right below. He
said nothing and let me climb on, un
til I was too high to dare to jump
back and then, without the least
warning, he gave me the thrashing of
my life I couldn’t get down. I tried
in vain to climb up out of reach of
the lash. It was a salutary drub
bing, and I think it made me a better
boy. At any rate, I followed him
meekly homeward and never played
truant again.

Here's one told on Nat Goodwin.
The incident happened several years
back, but I do not believe it has ever
appeared in black and white. And
it is gospel truth, too.
When Maxine Elliott was getting
ready to build the theater which
bears her name in New York she ex
perienced some little difficulty in dis
posing of a $10,000 block of stock.
She tried several persons, but no one
seemed to want it. Finally she was
urged to write to Mr. Goodwin, whom
she had divorced.
In her letter she explained the sit
uation and closed with the follow
ing:
“Considering our relations in the
past I thought you might want to
take some stock, not only because it
would help me out of a tight place,
but because it would be a good in
vestment for you.”
Nat read the letter carefully and
after a brief reflection resealed it
and wrote on the envelope:
"Opened by mistake—Nat Good
win.”
He heard no more of the stock

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 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
stockholder, but only for the profit
of the promoters.
"It is to be regretted,” he observe 1.
“that the bii! 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 aggi egate 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 $2,240,000. The increase in
capital stock f(.c- all chartered State
institutions wa$ $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 928
miles.
