NBW YORK. April 29 A cry of n
lonely girl for a mother, a father and

daughter of Gail Borden, who <
plained for the first time why she left
a sanitarium near Pompton Lake, N.

that she had been kidnaped.
'For four years I have lived in ho

home, my mother, my father, the open
air and rlogR and horses as other girls
have.
“I am going back to Lo» Angeles

far happier if my father and mother
were together.”
Although not divorced, Mr. and
Mrs. Borden have not lived together
for three years. Mrs. Borden’s *uit
failed.
"I did not run, away because T was
in love,” cried Miss Borden. “There
i* no man in my life, although I hoV
to be married some day.”
Miss Borden exonerated Mrs. Helen
White, wife of a Cleveland million

She said she wrote to her mother ic*
take her from the sanitarium where
she had been placed by her father,
but became Impatient and \\' r ote t >
Mrs. White to help her. She did not
give the appearance of being ill.
“This is the second time I have run

“Eob” Evans’ Joke.
A good many stories have been told
about “Fighting Bob” Evans. Here’s
one as related by Rear Admiral Wil
liam Swift, former commandant of
the Charlestown-Navy Yard, and which
was repeated the other evening at
the Capital City Club by a member
who has known Admiral Swift, for
many years.
Swift was the executive officer of
the cruiser New York at the time alys
represented the United States at the
opening of the Kiel Canal. “Fighting
Bob” was her captain, and the story
concerns him and Emperor William.
“The German war lord, accompa
nied by a small retinue, was dining
with Captain Evans on board the

Idleness Among Workmen.
Former General Secretary of the
Y. W. C. A. Bride of Business
College Man.
Miss Daisy Eckert, w-ho resigned
as general secretary of the local
Y. W. O. A. April 16. was married at
noon to-day to J. O. Bagwell, of the
Bagwell Business College, in Atlanta,
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W
Woods White. 32 Howard Street. Rev.
Charles Daniel* officiating.
Miss Eckert, incidentally, demon
strated the fact that a woman—one
woman, anyway—-can kep a secret, If
she makes up her mind, even though
it is a secret so sweetly delicious as
her own wedding day and the name
of the lucky man.
Several weeks ago, when the rumor
first went abroad that she was con
templating matrimony, wily friends
and associates undertook to get from
her the name of her Intended and the
wedding date.
Miss Eckert did not deny the soft
impeachment within the rumor, but
‘some time befo r e the summer is
over, perhaps," was all she would
\ ent ure.
She had heard, for one thing,* that
.i conspiracy was on foot to make
trouble for the daring male person
who came a-wooing Miss Daisy with
intent to take her away from the
Y. W. C, A Maybe it was that and
maybe a was omething else. What
ever It ..a*, she kept It. and it only
became known to-day.
Mr. and Mr*. White tendered Mr.
and ML Bagwell a delightful lunch
eon after the wedding.
Everybody wishes the bride—and.
oh, well, the groom, too long life
and a deal of happiness.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PEKIN. CHINA, April 29.—The
signing of the quintuple loan for
$125,000,000 has caused a grave po
litical crisis. The Kuo Min Tang (or
Democratic party) demands the can
cellation of the contract, contending
that it contravenes China’s sovereign
rights in giving foreigners power to
supervise the nation's finances. It
also objects because the matter was
not referred to the present assembly
for approval.
The Government contends that this
was not necessary, as the loan agree
ment is practically the same as that
approved by the provisional govern
ment assembly December 30 la.4t.
('hang Chi, president of the assem
bly, has telegraphed to all the pro
vincial assemblies urging them not
to sanction the loan.
