They stopped Mrs. Edmond son and the girl, and were rewarded by Monteen’s statement that she had been in Frank’s office on the after noon of the fatal day.

Congressman Bell Not Party to Fight on Gainesville Woman. President Explains. W ASHINGTON Mil . IJ -A move- tnent to have the name of Mrs. H. \V. J. Ham withdrawn as postmaster .it Gaint vilb Is understood to be under way here, although Represent®! ve Thomas M Bell, <'ongressman from the Ninth District, says he is not a party to it. It is well known that Congressman Bell feels keenly the turning down .,f his recommendation in the Gaines ville matter, as he thinks, Galnefvill.* 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 post mas tership. Name Sent Accidentally. President Wilson addressed n not • to Mr. Bell, telling him the name was ent in through inadvertence, as he had not Intended making the nomina tion that day. He, however. said nothing about changing the situation. Since tiie appointment was sent in. Congressman Bell has not been to the White House. The movement to have Mrs. Ham’s name withdrawn has born Inaugurated by friends >! all the parties concerned. in th** hope of avoiding that which now seems likely to develop considerable feeling in <'ongresslonal circles. Bell Not to Ask Recall. Congressman Bell said to-day: “I understand there it-* talk of a move ment to ask the President to with draw Mrs. Ham’s name, 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, I would do so if 1 had information that my candidate, Mr. A. S. Hardy, would be appointed. I have nothing directly against the appointment of Mrr, Ham. but I earnestly and sincerely desire*, the appointment of the man I had Indorsed.” Mr. Bell said he knew nothing of any plan to make a fight on Mrs. Ham’s name when It comes up for confirmation by the Senate, and the possibility of such a fight, was denied at the offices of both Senator Bacou and Senator Smith. It is the disposition r >f fne Georgia di legation to leave the matter in the hands of th© President. If he Ir.rii cates that he would appoint Mr Hnr d\. then Mr. Beil will ask him to withdraw the name of Mrs. Ham. but unless such information is forthcom ing, Mrs. Ham’s name will probably be confirmed. Tin* President was not nt the White House to-day and no informa tion could be obtained there. Alts. Longstreet talked with a num ber of friends in the capital and will go before the Senate nominating committee to protest against her re moval. Her protest will be that her w ork has not been unsatisfactory > Gainesville people. An nnnounceemnt from Congress man Thomas M.

WASHINGTON, May 11 The Wil- son currency bill will follow swiftly upon the Wilson-Underw’ood tariff. The President has said it. and there will be no failure to do his will. With the tariff bill disposed of by the House, the Chief Executive has set his representatives to work, and by the time the House returns to its regular sessions three weeks hence, it will have for Immediate considera tion a bill that will embody the Wil son view of the currency. Senator Robert L. Owen, of Okla homa, is chairman of the Seriate Committee on Banking and Currency and Carter Glass, of Virginia, will b> the chairman of the House Commit tee as soon as that position is filled. The President expresses full con fidence that he will be able to press this currency bill to enactment be fore the special session adjourns. He goes the full length of positive speech in declaring it will be a law before the general session of Congress. He is fully as emphatic about it as he was about the tariff bill. Outline of the Bill. From an inside and absolutely re liable source I have the exclusive out line of the administration's currency bill, which is substantially as fol- folws, stated with the bias of the Ad ministration’s friends: First, to provide a plan which will make available for commer cial purposes in larger degree the reserves of the banks by permit ting the reserves i to go in large part to reserve banks, incorpo rated and located in sufficient number of places to be convenient of access to all the banks of the country. By permitting these reserve banks to borrow and lend to each other, and by permitting them to rediscount for smaller banks commercial paper of specified standard, based on actual com mercial transactions, the member bunks could obtain a credit mar ket for commercial paper from the reserve banks in which they have stock The probable stock of the reserve banks would total 10 per cent of the present stock and surplus of the national banks, amounting to about $11)0.000.000 Government Depositaries. It is proposed that Government deposits shall be kept in these re serve banks and thus become available for use by the commerce of the country. Moreover, there probably would be an inducement held out to the member banks w hich would organize the reserve banks to keep larger deposits with the reserve bank by allow ing them a part of the earning • power of such reserve banks, ap portioned to their average depos its. By this system the reserve banks would start off wheti in running order with an available capital of approximately $300.- 000.000, and the reserve of the country will be made much more active and fluent than heretofore. Elastic Currency Plan. The second great object which is desired in this connection is to provide elastic currency, and this is expected to be accomplished by having the currency furnished to the reserve banks in a quantity sufficient for the needs of com merce. subject to an interest charge which will compel auto matic contraction when the extra currency is no longer seriously demanded This currency probably will be Treasury notes, secured, however, by the additional security of the j reserve banks and the member banks by being a first lien on their assets, but secured also by commercial paper of a specified class of short terms, indorsed by the original borrower, the local bank and the reserve bank, and set aside in the bill case of the re serve bank as security for such notes. • It is proposed alsfi to strength en th© national bank system by giving its some additional priv ileges and providing a great im provement in the bank examiners, giving them graded salaries ac cording to qualifications and work to be done, instead of the old fee system. Multi-Millionaire Milk Dealer’s Daughter and Her Mother Leave New York Hotel. NEW YORK, May 11.—Miss Ra- mona Borden, 17-year-old daughter of Gail Borden, multi-millionaire XCv York milk dealer, whose myste rious disappearance from a New Jer sey sanitarium several weeks ago caused a big sensation, is to-day re- portfd to be missing again. Credence was given the report by announcement a the Vanderbilt Ho tel. where Mrs. Borden and her daughter have been living, that both left the hotel and that their present whereabouts ore unknown. The first hint that Ramona had run away again came from New Haven, Conn., to which place she had gone with Mrs. Helen Seldon WhRe. wife of a rich Cleveland. Ohio, enewing 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'c description met two young girls at the railway station there, the party going to a iiotel where thev registered as "Mrs. W. J. White and daughters. Niagara Falls, N. V. ' 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 oy reporters she denied that she was the same woman .who connived in the 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 tiie girl’s father had no knowl edge of her being in New Haven. Mr. and Mrs. Borden are separated, but not divorced. Mrs. Borden makes her home in Los Angeles, Cal., but camp here when she received news of her daughter's mysterious disappear ance several weeks uem. When Miss Los Casas found herself alone and penniless in Paris, she opened up a little shop where she sold popcorn, fudge, taffy and corn cakes to American girl students. H er venture has: been a^uccess and she is planning to return to her home. FERTILIZER HIT SMS PROTEST The following telegram, which ex plains itself, was received from Washington to-day by some 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 cents per hundred pounds, which was knocked out of the Payne-Aldrich bill and became a law in August. 1900. 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 year?* 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 which is directly against the farmer, and the Democratic party, having pledged |tself 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.

May 1 .—American pluck lias solved a difficult problem for Miss Lillian Las Casas. Some time ago Miss Las Casas found herself in a strange city with out money and without friends. She did not send despairing cables to her relatives on the other side of the ocean, but, having determined to suc ceed through her own efforts, opened up a modest little shop where she sold popcorn balls, taffy, fudge, orn cake and other delicacies which are about as necessary to the average American schoolgirl as are her books. There are always a number of American students in Paris and they flocked to Miss Las Casas’ shop. From the start her venture was a success. She has added to her stock and, in the language of the country from which she comes, is “making good." Miss Las Casas is a remarkably at- tra< tive girl and, with the money which her shop earns at her disposal, she dresses in the height of fashion. The picture shows her in the simple dress she wears while waiting on her customers. She has on a plaited skirt and a fish wife's blouse. Her hair is done up in the most approved French style.

The proposed Blue Sky Law’ is to prevent the selling of wild cat stocks. st SCORES POLICE •Til DEGREE' Judge John S. Candler rapped Georgia’s criminal code and practices current among lawyers and the po lice in an addres-- to students of the Atlanta Law’ School and members of the Atlanta Bar Friday night. An other interesting feature of his ad dress was his denunciation of third degree methods of securing evidence and the testimony of detectives. “So long as lawyers* have success for themselves in view, verdicts of juries will be looked on as results of trickery and adroit juggling.” Other striking statements in his speech were: “Taking an ignorant man, work on him until 4 o’clock in th** morning, then Hare a flashlight in his 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 tho .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 coqld 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 bp hanged than all *he 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/ of oppression.’’ "We are making too many misde**. meanors; we are making too many felonies. The average man seldom knows if he is a criminal or not, ami 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.

Council’s Streets Committee has joined in the fight for a $30 t 000 ap propriation for the Whitehall Street regrading. The County Commlsato*' ers have agreed to do the work wifi convicts and the property' owner*, have subscribed $17,000 toward it. ft Council’s Finance Committee can persuaded to give $30,000 the im provement will be assured; and leaders in the movement declare there is no doubt the Finance Committee will respond. The Streets Committee. Friday, by a vote of eight to one, approved the plan of regrading from a point be tween Mitchell Street and Trinity Avenue to Forsyth Street, presented by Chief of Construction Clayton ' Several more conservative degrading plans were submitted but only Coun cilman Jesse M. Wood opposed the original program. Councilman Wood urged that final action be delayed until all the property owners agreed on the Improvement to be made. A number of enthusiastic boosters appeared before the committee, among them being Robert R. Otis. George H. Boynton, J. Carroll Payne. M. L. Thrower. R. A Broyles. V. H. Kreig- shaber, L. C. Green, Walker Dunson. C. E. Caverly, Charles H. Black, J. R. Smith and others. They declared that the work must be begun by' Oc tober 1. as the convicts* had been promised and a temporary delay might mean a postponement of many years. The principal opposition to the im provement was expressed by Judge John T. Pendleton, owner of the Cap ital City Laundry building, and At torneys E. C. Meyer and L. Z. Ros ser. Judge Pendleton said the re grading would greatly damage his and adjoining property. Attorney Meyer pointed out that with the im provement all the intersecting streets must be regraded. Attorney Rosser said a number of persons would .be damaged unnecessarily. Answers to these arguments were that the increase in property’ values would far offset any damage?. jerseyjstrikeTeader’s CASE ENDS IN MISTRIAL PATERSON, N.
