"Sheriff John Quinn/* said a law
yer who has Just returned from Bos
ton, "is an old friend of mine, and
while 1 was in hi« town the other
day I called on him at the Charles
Street Jail. In the course of our
conversation, ho told me this story:
One of the inmates of the jail
accurited the sheriff not long ago with
the statement that he had found a
$10 bill in the prison yard.
“Why didn't you keep the money?*’
asked the Sheriff.
“I didn't want to take what didn’t
belong to me.” came the ready re
sponse.
"What are you in here for?” then
asked "Honest John."
"Larceny.” answered the prisoner.
“BUT I DID NOT PLEAD GUILTY,”
he added.
When his term of Imprisonment
ended this week, and due to the fact
that no claimant for the $10 had ap
peared. Sheriff Quinn gave the finder
the money.

NEW YORK, April 29 A cry of a
lonely girl for a mot tier, a father and
a home carno to-day from Miss Ra~
mona Borden, 17-year-old runaway
daughter of Gall Borden, who
plained for the first time why she left
a sanitarium near Pompton l*ake. X.
J , a week ago, giving the impression
that she had been kidnaped.
"For four years I have lived in ho-
tels,” said Miss Borden, “with a san
itarium in between. I wanted my
home, my mother, my father, the open
air and dogs and horses as other girls
have.
1 am going back to I»s Angeles
with my mother, and 1 feel that 1
shall be happier, although I would be
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 suit
failed.
"1 did not run away because T was
in love/’ cried Miss Borden. “There
Is no man in my life, although I hol>
to be married some day.’’
Miss Borden exonerated Mrs. Helen
White, wife of a Cleveland million
aire, from the “kidnaping’’ charge
She said she wrote to her mother
take her from the sanitarium where
she had been placed by her father,
but became impatient and wrote tt
Mrs. White to help her. She did not
give the appearance of being ill. *
"This is the second time I have run
away, and T hope it will be the last,”
concluded the young heiress with
laugh.

“Bob’’ Evans' Joke.
A good many stories have been told
about l ighting Bob" Kvans. Here's
one us related by Rear Admiral Wil

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 i rui • r New York at the time she
represent' d the United States at the
opening of the Kiel Canal. "Fighting
Boh was her captain, and th** story
concerns him and Epiperor William.
“The* German war lord, accompa

J. 0. BAGWELL AND M’CLELLflND GETS
Former General Secretary of the
Y. W. C. A. Bride of Business
College Man.
Miss Daisy Eckert, who resigned
as general secretary of the local
Y. W. C. A. April 15, was married at
noon to-day to J. O. Bagwell, of the
Bagwell Business College, in Atlanta,
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. YV.
Woods White, 32 Howard Street, Rev.
Charles Daniels officiating.
Miss Eckert, incidentally, demon
strated the fact that a yroman—on-
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 associated 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 before the summer is
over, perhaps/’ wa« all she would
venture.
She had heard, foV one thing, that
a conspiracy was on foot to make
trouble for th© daring male person
who came a-wooing Miss Daisy with
intent to take her away from the
Y. \Y C*. A. Maybe 1t was that and
maybe *t w as omething else. What
ever it was. she kept it, and It only
became known to-day.

night with a concert program. Mem
bers of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, who are to sing, have been ar
riving for severals days. Mme.
Louise Homer was the first to arrive.
The others had a special train oper
ated over the Southern and came in
late in the evening.
Miss Anna Case has made a dis- !
tinot impression by the simple de- *

frank and boyish ways, and talks
incessantly about an exciting game
of baseball he witnessed in Atlanta
He- admits that he likes "rag” music,
and plays it. He says the time will
never come when only “high-brow”
music will be appreciated by all the
people.
The best society in Savannah oc
cupied boxes at the concert last night,
when these three stars were on the
program as soloists.
Alderman John E. McClelland, who
charged three of his colleagues with
corruption, to-day acknowledged ser
vice of a subpena to attend the meet
ing of the Councilmanit' graft inves
tigating committee this afternoon and
announced that he would be present.
He also said he was prepared to an
swer the charges made against him
by Alderman J. W. Maddox.
Alderman McClelland’s refusal to
attend f(miner meetings of the com

in the progress of the trial.
Assistant City Attorney W. D. Ellis,

the witnesses to prove the McClel

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
I>emoeratic 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 whs
not referred to the present assembly
for approval.
The Government contends that this
was not necessary, as the loan agree
ment is practically the seme as that
approved by the provisional govern
ment assembly December 30 last.
Chang Chi. president of the assem
bly, has telegraphed to all the pro
vincial assemblies urging them not
to sanction the loan.
