WASHINGTON", May 10.—A move-
ment to have the name of Mrs. H. VV
J. Ham withdrawn as postmaster it
Gainesville Is understood to be undrr
way here, although Representalve
Thomas M Bell, Congressman from
the Ninth District, says he is not a
party to it.
It is well known that Congressman
Hell feels keenly the turning down cf
his recornmendation in the Gaines
ville matter, hs he thinks. Gainesville,
being his home town. his wishes
should have prevailed. Then, too, the
Congressman had an engagement with
the President the day after Mrs.
Ham’s name was sent to the Senate,
to discuss the Gainesville postmas-
tership.
Name Sent Accidentally.
President Wilson addressed a note 1
to Mr. Bell, telling him the name was
ent In through Inadvertance. as he
had not intended making the nomina
tion that day. He, however, said
nothing about changing the situation.
Hlnce the appointment was sept in.
Congressman Hell has not been to
the White House The movement
to have Mrs. Ham's name withdrawn
has been Inaugurated by friends
all the parties concerned. in th-»
hope of avoiding that which now
seems likely t/> develop considerable
feeling in Congressional circles.
Bell Not to Ask Recall.
Congressman Hell said to-day: “I
understand there i«- talk of a move
ment to ask the President to with
draw Mrs. Ham's n#me. one reason
being that on the President's -own
admission the name was sent to the
Senate inadvertently. I shall make
no such request. However, 1 wouid
do so If 1 had Information that my
candidate. Mr. A. S. Hardy, would
be appointed I have nothing directly
against the appointment of Mrv. Ham.
but I earnestly and sincerely desired
the appointment of the man 1 had
indorsed."
Mr. Hell said he knew nothing of
any plan to make a fight on Mrs.
Ham’s name when it comes up for
confirmation by the Seriate, and the
possibility of such a fight was denied
at the offices of both Senator Bacon
and Senator Smith.
It is the disposition of the Gtorgh.
delegation to lcnve the matter in the
hands of the President If he indl-
Vates that he would appoint Mr liar
dy. then Mr. Bell will ask him to
withdraw the name of Mrs. Ham. but
unless such Information is forthcom
ing. Mrs. Ham’s name will probably

Visit to Meridian as
Lively as Circus Day.
MERIDIAN. MISS., May 10. -Cir
cus day has nothing on to-day. All
Meridian was astir early this morn
ing to greet the Atlanta Shriners
who passed through at 8 o’clock on
their way to Dallas, where they will
land the 1914 Council.
Meridian's patrol met the train In
full uniform, and the Yaarab nobles,
no longer sleepy, responded heartily
to the welcome given them.
All the Atlantans were routed out
and taken In autos to the best res
taurant In town, where an old-fash -
■ loned Mississippi breakfast was
served. Then began a trip around
the city in automobiles. Thoughtful
Meridian Shriners saw to it that a
! lady was put in charge of each car.
Mrs. D. F. White and Miss Bessie
Kempton. of Atlanta, who are Trav
eling with the Shriners, were the
guests of honor, and were shown ev
ery courtesy the fertile genius of Mis-
sissippinns could invent.
So enthusiastic were the Meridian
I hosts that the stopover had to be
! extended from an hour to an hour
and a half.

Judge John S. Candler rapped
tieoi'gla's criminal code and practices
< urrent among lawyers and the po
lice in an add res* to students of the
Atlanta Law School and members of
the \tlanta Bar Friday night. An
other Interesting feature of his ad
dress was his denunciation of third
degree methods of securing evidence
and the testimony o/ detectives.
"So long as lawyers have success
for themselves in view, verdicts of
juries wilt be looked on as results of
trickery and adroit juggling.”
Other striking statements in his
-perch were:
"Taking an ignorant man, work on
him until 4 o’clock in the morning,
then flare a flashlight in hi* face and
say, ‘We know you have killed some
one,' is worse than the practices of
the Spanish Inquisition.
"A detective who would voluntarily
go on the stand ought not to be be
lieved The purpose of a detective
Is to find evidence and not to swear
that it is true.
• "An odd commentary on conditions
in Georgia is our penal code. The
Lord thought He could run the world
with Ten Commandments, but the
Georgia Legislature takes 10.000.
“Strict law enforcement would re
peal 75 per cent of Georgia's penal
laws in 24 hours.
“I have sentenced more men to be
hanged than all the judges in Great
Britain combined since I860. There’s
a reason. It’s the law and the meth
ods of some lawyers. People have
no respect for the law when there is
too much of it. when the law is used
for the purpose ol oppression."
"We are making too many misde
meanors; we a.re making too many
felonies. The average man seldom
knows if he is a criminal or not, and
many are constantly violating the
statutes from spitting on the side
walks on down a long list of small
and forgotten misdemeanors.
“As long as the lawmakers continue
to turn out a new book full of laws
every summer, so long will we con
tinue to have law violations. I be
lieve with General Grant that if a
law is a bad one, enforce it."
Multi-Millionaire Milk Dealer's
Daughter and Her Mother
Leave New York Hotel.
NEW YORK. May 1 ft.—Miss Ra
mona Borden, 17-year-old daughter
of Gail Borden. multi-millionaire
New York milk dealer, whose myste
rious disappearance from a New Jer
sey .‘•'anitariuni several weeks ago
caused a big sensation, is to-day re
ported to be missing again.
Credence was given the report by
announcement at the Vanderbilt Ho
tel, where Mrs. Borden and her
daughter have been living, that both
left the hotel and that their present
whereabouts are unknown.
The first hint that Ramona had run
away again came from New Haven,
Conn., to which place she had gone
with Mfs. Helen Seldon White, wife
of a rich Cleveland, Ohio, chewkig
gum manufacturer, on her recent run
away escapade.
Reported in New Haven.
A dispatch from New Haven re
ported that a woman answering Mrs.
White’s description met two young
girls at the railway station there, the
party going to a hotel where they
registered as "Mrs. VV. J. White
and daughters. Niagara Falls. X. Y.”
One of the girls answered the de
scription of Miss Borden; the other
resembled one of Mrs. Whtie’s nieces
who was a member of the previous
runaway party. When Mrs White
was approached in New Haven by
reporters she denied that she was the
same woman who connived in f he
Borden girl’s escape from the sanita
rium.
At the offices of Mr. Borden it was
said to-day by Mr. Borden's secretary
that the girl’s father had no knowl
edge of her being in New Haven.
Air. and Mrs. Borden are separated,
but not divorced. Mrs. Borden makes
her home in Los Angeles, Cal., but
came here when she receiver! news of
her daughter’s mysterious disappear

TARIFF,
SAYS PROTEST
Business Men Receive Message
From Washington, Following
Passage of New Bill.
The following telegram, which ex
plains itself, was received from
Washington to-day by pome of the
leading business men of Atlanta:
"What do you think of the Demo
cratic Congress, pledged to tariff re
form. taking off of the free list an
article and putting a duty of ten per
cent on same? This I am advised
was done yesterday when the House
of Representatives at Washington
passed the tariff bill putting a tax
of ten per cent on sulphate of am
monia. My understanding that the
ten per cent is an ad valorem tax
which, at the present price of sul
phate, would be over $6 a ton, and
would be fully as much if not more
than the old Republican tariff of 30
tents per hundred pounds, which was
knocked out of the Payne-Aldrich bill
and became a law in August. 1909,
since which sulphate of ammonia has
been on the free list.
"You must know about the in-<
creased production in this country
and that this infant industry has
greatly prospered in four years of
free trade. The fertilizer manufac
turers ought to protest to our Rep
resentatives, both in the House and
in the Senate, against this tax whicn
is directly against the farmer, and
the Democratic party, having pledged
itself to revise the tariff and bring
about cheaper cost of living, is de
liberately adding to the cost if they
tax sulphate of ammonia.
"The price of sulphate of ammonia
is higher to-day than it was in 1909
when the duty of $6 per ton was im
posed. This material is a by-prod
uct. is healthy and needs no pro
tection.”
