Senator Kern Tells of His Recovery

The postal savings bank established
by the United States Government is
not the success in Atlanta that it is in
other cities. Relatively few of its de
positors are citizens or natives of At
lanta, according to the statement of
B. W. Farrar, who is In charge of the
postal savings department of the local
postofflce.
Almost any fine Saturday afternoon
a line of men can be seen threading
Its way along the lobby on the Plum
Street side of the postofflce. The line
i? motley, even cosmopolitan in ap
pearance. and interesting. The men
who form it are depositors in the pos
tal savings bank, and are for the most
part wage-earners whose deposits are
relatively small.
Deposits in the Atlanta branch of
the postal savings bank aggregate lit
tle more than $25,000, with not quite
600 depositors.
“I don’t think that many natives of
Atlanta know that the bank is here or
understand its functions.” said Post
master H. L. McKee yesterday, but he
sees possibilities for great usefulness
in the in.«titution.
The mission of the bank, as he and
R. W. Farrar, clerk in charge, out
lined it, is considerable.
Stops Money Going Back.
"We should like for one thing to
promote the interest and the confi
dence of foreigners.” explained Mr.
Farrar. ‘‘Then probably would stop
the steady stream of money that is
sent back to the old country. The
sale of international money orders is
enormous, and a large portion of the
money of these pons of other lands
goes away from the United States.”
Mr. Farrar thinks the amount of
deposits in the postal savings bank
everywhere is lessened by the restric
tion placed on depositors, by which
not more than $100 a month can be
deported. This, he prophesied, would
be changed, and the limit of deposits
removed altogether.
Few of the depositors in the At
lanta branch are women, fewer even
than the boys. There are a number of
boys, mostlv Bov Scouts, who, to ac
quire standing in their organization,
must have a savings deposit of at
least one dollar. But by far the most
of the depositors, almost 90 per cent
of the total number, are men, and
most of them wage-earners.
Evidence of the great variety of
personalities among the depositors in
Atlanta is borne in the records of the
local branch. The first depositor aft
er the organization of the bank was a
painter, the second a mail carrier;
others, in the order of their deposits,
were, respectively, engineer, modeler,
bookkeeper, merchant, rabbi, printer,
lawyer, school teacher, railroad man,
machinist, wire worker, cook, tailor,
meter repairer, blaster, housewife and
plumber.
Little Money Withdrawn.
Little of the money deposited has
been withdrawn, and a number of the
depositors in the Atlanta branch have
purchased Government bonds. Ac
cording to the regulations governing
the bank, “a depositor will be permit
ted to exchange the whole or any par?
of his deposits in sums of $20, $40, $60,
$80. $100. <y multiples of $100 up to
and Including $500, into United States
registered or coupon bonds bearing
interest at the rate of 2 1-2 per cent
per Annum.”
“So, you see," remarked Mr. Farrar,
“the bank helps out the habit of sav
ing.”
A few of the rules governing the
bank are:
No person under 10 years old may
be a depositor.
The name of a depositor can not be
disclosed.
Deposits must be for $1 or more, al
though postal savings cards and pos
tal savings stamps may be purchased
for 10 cents each, to be redeemed later
when $1 worth are accumulated.
Interest at the rate of 2 per cent per
annum is allowed.
A depositor may at any time with
draw the whole or any part of his
money.
Georgia Behind 40 States.
P r V‘-* : > .age of the postal savings
baiy^^ri Georgia is less extensive than
40 other States, according to the 1912
report of the newly established de
partment just given out in Washing
ton. Deposits in Georgia up to that
time were only $48,320. In New York
$3,632,304 had been deposited. The
State of the lowest deposits was South
Carolina, with $11,258.
According to the report, however,
the postal savings bank is growing,
and Uncle Sam rapidly is becoming
the biggest banker in the world He
is adding deposit? at the rate of $1,-
000,000 and depositors by the thou
sands every 30 days.
From February 28 to March 31. 1913,
the deposits in all the branches in
creased from $32,500,000 to $33,500,000.
and depositors from 325,000 to 335,000,
and this rate of increase kept up
through April.
According to the report for Novem
ber 30, 1912, the deposit? by States
were:
and depositors will be given the privi
lege of drawing on their deposits.
A liberal interpretation, it is held,
will permit regulations that allow de
positors to check out their money to
pay obligations to the Postofflce De
partment. The law says that “any
depositor may withdraw the whole or
any part of the funds deposited to his
or her credit, with the accrued inter
est, upon demand and under such reg
ulations as the board of trustees may
prescribe.”
July 1, when the parcel post offi
cials put Into effect the “collect on de
livery” feature, the Postofflce Depart
ment expects to make it possible for a
patron of a postofflce and a depositor
in a savings depository to draw on
his carrier instead of having to hunt
up the exact change.
The lawmakers feared to go too far
when the act was framed lest the op
position of the bankers hinder its pas
sage. Since this the bankers have
found that postal savings have helped
rather than hindered them. There are
now, 27 months after the establish
ment of the postal savings system,
more than 345,000 depositors and
about $34,500,000 deposited in the 12,-
160 offices. Some private banks may
have more money on deposit, but none
has so many depositors.
Thursday, when the postal savings
division was transferred to the bureau
of the Third Assistant Postmaster
General, the head of that bureau be
came the chief officer of the most
popular bank in America.
Growth Has Been Steady.
The growth of the system is told in
the following figures:
June 30, 1911—400 offices, 11,918 de
positors, $667,145 on deposit; $56.82
per depositor.

More Changes Are Planned.
The act that created the system is
i to be so amended as to extend and
popularize its most important fea
tures. Children under ten years old
v-ill be nc-rmltted to have accounts,
'
posits; average, $96.77.
January 31, 1913—12.823 deposito
ries, 315,000 depositors. $31,000,000 de
posits; average, $98.41.
February 28, 1913—12,825 deposito

deposits; average, $100.
March 31, 1913—12.823 depositories,
335,000 depositors. $33,500,000 of de
posits; average, $100.
Suspicious and timid persons now
bring their money from all sorts of
hiding places to deposit it with Uncle
Sam’s bank. Having learned that the
“faith of the United States is solemn
ly pledged to the payment of the de
posits made in postal savings deposi
tory offices, with accrued interest.”
they are not afraid to trust their sav
ings to it.
Foreign born white persons, who
used to hide their savings or send
them back home for safe keeping,
now bring them to the people’s bank,
as Is proved by statistics.
The number of depositors, classified
by color and nativity, June 30, last
year, and amount on deposit, were:
Native whites, 150,942. $9,774,605;
foreign born white. 88,186, $10,255,-
756; negroes, 4,463, $189,432; other
non-whites, 210, $17,291.
About $16,750,000 that formerly
would have been sent out of
the country or buried somewhere
in this country is now in circulation.
Of the total number of depositors
111,890 are women, the majority of
them married.
The foreign born whites, compris
ing a little more than one-third of
all the depositors, have about one-
half of the total deposits. Native
white women have more money to
their credit than the foreign born of
their sex.
“Very little of the money deposited
in the postal savings offices was
withdrawn from the banks,” says
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Dockery. “The system has fully met
the expectation that the foreign-
born resident would leave his savings
in the keeping of the Government
instead of sending it abroad. The
amount of international money or
ders issued increased at the rate of
$9,000,000 a year for the ten years
from 1902 to 1911, and $16,500,000 a
year during the last two years of this
period, the total for the period end
ing June 30 last being $109,604,639.
One year later, and in the second year
of the operation of the postal sav
ings system, this had dropped to
$97,660,025, a decrease of nearly
$12,000,000. During this same period
postal savings deposits increased
from $667,145 to $20,237,084.
"The net result is an increase in
the practice of saving, the restoration
to cJrculation of large sums that were
hoarded, and the retention in this
country of money formerly sent
abroad.”
Surgeon General to,Obtain Cultures and Make
Tests of Von Ruck Cure in Hospital.
WASHINGTON, May 29.—Interest
of Senators in the Von Ruck anti
tuberculosis serum which cured Sen
ator Kern, Democratic leader of the
upper house, increased to-day v\ hen
it became known that the wife of
Senator Luke Lea. of Tennessee, is
now receiving the same treatment at
Dr. Von Ruck’s sanitarium at Ashe
ville, N. C.
Mrs. Lea has been at several san
itariums, and only about two weeks
ago was removed to Dr. Von Ruck's,
and, although said to be in an ad
vanced stage of the disease, she is re
ported to have been benefited by Dr.
Von Ruck’s treatment.
All the Senators are deeply inter
ested in her recovery, because of the
heroic and prolonged fight she has
been making against the disease. Two
years ago her husband, a stalwart
athlete, underwent a transfusion op
eration and permitted a full quart of
his blood to flow Into his wife’s veins.
Temporarily strengthened, but still in
grave danger, Mrs. Lea a month later
was rushed in a special train to Den
ver. There she partly regained her
health.
Surgeon General to Test It.
The resolution of Senator Overman
of North Carolina, which passed the
upper house by unanimous vote on
Monday, has already borne fruit. Sur
geon General Rupert Blue, in charge
of the Public Health Bureau, and who
was directed by the Senate to make
a thorough investigation of the serum,
said to-day that no time would be lost
in obtaining cultures and distributing
them among Government hospitals for
tests. Dr. Von Ruck has already
placed his serum at the disposal of
the naval medical school and experi
ments are now being made there.
Senator Kern to-day talked freely
of his experience at the sanitarium.
The Democratic leader spoke of many
others who were cured by Dr. Von
Ruck about the same time as himself.
Among them were Mrs. J. M. Trotter,
wife of a wholesale grocer of Chat
tanooga, Tcnn.. and prominent In so
ciety there.
Kern Relates Experience.
“There were many others there at
the time, and I have since met and
corresponded with a number who said
they had not experienced any recur
rent attack," said the Senator. “This
sanitarium is filled all the time, and Dr.
Von Ruck has been so successful in the
treatment of tuberculosis patients that
his serum really ought to be care
fully investigated for the benefit of
suffering humanity. I am very grate
ful. and I could not praise him or his
serum too much, although I regretted
that Senator Overman had divulged
my secret to my colleagues.”
Senator Overman said to-day: “I
know a lady and her two grandchil
dren who were cured by the Von
Ruck serum. Also many others, but
am not at liberty to mention any
names. The serum has been a boon
to North Carolinans, and as Dr. Von
Ruck is willing, ought to be given to
the world."
WOMAN FISH WARDEN IN
KANSAS MAKES AN ARREST
TOPEKA, KANS., May 31.—When
Mrs. C. A. Fisher. State Deputy Fish
Warden, found H. B. Stone fishing
with more than one line .yesterday,
she arrested him on a charge of vio
lating the fish and game laws. This
was the first arrest ever made by a
woman deputy game warden in Kan
sas.
Mrs. Fisher took Stone before a jus
tice, who fined the prisoner one cent
and costs. Stone appealed the^ease.
HYDROPHOBIA PERILS BOY
CAT BIT TWO MONTHS AGO
NEWARK, May 31.—Nine-year-old
Adrian Palmer, of 297 Sandford Ave
nue, is to-day In the City Hospital
suffering from what is believed to be
hydrophobia as i result of the bile
of a cat.
About two months ago. while on an
errand for his mother, the boy went
to a neighbor*? home, carrying a bas
ket. As he mounted the front steps
a Grange cat sprang at him and bit
him on the right arm.
NEW YORK. May 31.—While bands
played “The Star Spangled Banner,”
the huge flags which draped the Na
tional Maine Monument fluttered to
the ground yesterday afternoon and
the great shaft shines forth to-day as
a memorial to the brave men who lost
their lives in the disaster which was
one of the causes of the war with
Spain.
The United States was not alone in
honoring her dead heroes, for a de
tachment of Unban soldiers, sailors
from the warship Cuba, and a com
mission formed of members of the
Cuban Senate participated in the cer
emonies.
The monument Is largely the result
of the work of William Randolph
Hearst and his newspapers. Mr.
Hearst suggested the shnft as a fit
ting tribute to the martyrs of the
Maine and raised the fund through
the influence of his papers.
The sailors and marines from the
thirteen battleships of the North At
lantic fleet lying in the Hudson River
nnd the sailors and soldiers from the
Cuban warship Cuba were ready^ at
nopn yesterday and assembled in For
ty-fifth Street near Fifth Avenue in
preparation for the big land parade.
Admiral Leads Parade.
Rear Admiral Cameron McRae
Winslow, U. S. N., was grand marshal
of the parade, with Rear Admiral
Fletcher in command. The United
Spanish War Veterans occupied a
prominent part in the marching col
umn. under the command of State
Commander Chauneey W. Herrick.
The New York National Guard was
represented by the Sixty-ninth Regi
ment. the First Regiment Cavalry and
the Naval Militia.
Troops of the United States Army
from nearby army posts also partici
pated in the parade, which proceeded
up Fifth Avenue to Fifty-ninth Street,
thence west to Columbus- Circle,
around the westerly side of the Co
lumbus monument and up Broadway
to Sixty-sixth Street, where the pa
rade broke into the various divisions,
each division marching back to the
monument at the Fifty-ninth Street
and Broadway entrance to Central
Park, where they assembled in a fan
like formation about the monument.
Bishop Offered Prayer.
The unveiling ceremonies began at
3:30 with a prayer by Bishop Davis H.
Greer. General James Grant Wilson
then presented the monument to the
city. Ay soon as General Wilson fin
ished his address the bands struck up
"The Star Spangled Banner" and the
huge flags draping the monument flut
tered to the ground. While the band
continued to play the national air
several wreaths wcif placed at the
base of the monument.
Father Uhidwick, chaplain of the old
Maine when she mot her fate in Ha
vana Harbor, placed a wreath
nresionted by President Wilson, and
Mrs. Frederick R. Coudert placed a
wreath from the State of Maine. Mrs.
Coudert was the chriftener of the
Maine when she was first launched A
wreath from the committee was
placed; one from the Cuban nation
was placed by the three envoys ex
traordinary which Cuba had sent to
this country for the occasion.
Mcnument Accepted.
Following the placing of the
wreaths. Mayor Gaynor accented the
monument on behalf of the city. Gov
ernor Sulzer, of New York, and Gov
ernor Haines, of Maine, each placed
the wreath from the city of New York
and Rear Admiral Sigsbee, who corn-
mnmfed the Maine at the time of the
disaster, alpo presented a wreath. A
wreath from the State of New' York
was placed a? well.
Several survivors of the Maine were
on hand in the stands facing the
speakers’ platform In Columbia Circle.
The families of the men who lost their
lives in the memorable disaster wer
also given seats In these stands.
The large number of Spanish war
veterans who took part In the parade
added to the touching sentiment of
the event, and Cuba, to whom the de
struction of the battleship meant the
beginning of her freedom from the
yoke of Spain, showed her apprecia
tion by sending the warship Cuba, a
detachment of soldiers and three en
voys. Thus the two nations gathered
to honor the heroes, who, although
they did not fall In battle, sacrificed
their lives for their country.

Illinois Senate Approves a Bill Doing
Away With Arrest for
Speeding.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.. May 31.
When a man is hirrrying to the opera
with*hls wife and a park policeman
arrests him for speeding the police
man will tip his hat and hand Liu*
gentleman a summons Instead of
hauling them to a police station.
That is, he will. If Senator Clark’s
motor vehicle bill, which parsed the
Senate to-day, has the same easy
passage through the House.
The bill provides that such speed
as indicates a tendency toward man
slaughter or resistance of an officer
is sufficient reason for applying the
old lockup and bondsman system.

HYSTERICAL MOTHER LAUGHS
5 HOURS WITHOUT STOPPING
KANSAS CITY, May 31.—Three
children of Mrs. Jennie kitchel are 111
with the measles at their home, 2223
Locust Street. The fourth i? just re
covering from pneumonia. They have
required the mother's constant atten
tion for the last month.
One afternoon Mrs. Kitchel tried to
rest on the couch in the same room
with the children. The husband, Al
bert Kitchel, a laborer, hearing peals
of laughter coming from the sick
room, entered and found his wife sit
ting on the couch laughing. He tried
to talk to her. but she could not stop
laughing long enough. The husband
tried, in vain to stop her. She laughed
almost five hours.
Finally Kitchel ran to the General
Hospital for a physician. Dr. E. Mor-
ley, after working with the hysterical
woman about 20 minutes, stopped the
laughing. He said the mental strain
of the last month had been too much
and the spell of hysterics took the
form of laughing.
Nominations for The Georgian and
American pony contest closed last
night. There will be no new con
tenders for the twelve pony outfits
for which the boys and girls of At
lanta, of Georgia, and of all the South
are racing.
With considerably more than 300
boys and girls in the lists, and with
an even show for all. the contests
from now on bid fair to be exciting,
even more so than they have been
to date.
In a sense, this is the real start.
All competitors now are known to
each other. It is not necessary to
w'atch for dangerous newcomers; it
is necessary only to watch the prog
ress of those already In the races,
and to test their strength.
Vacation to Brighten Race.
June 3, school closes. With the
freedom vacation brings the pupils,
those entered in the contest will have
that many more hours a day to give
to the race. Most of them, when they
call at the contest department offices
with their votes, Hay:
“Watch me when school’s out. I’ll
make things hum then.”
So it seems likely that a much
stiffer pace will be set for the re
maining weeks of the contest.
“I am getting busy, and things
look mighty pretty," writes Fain E.
Webb, of Piedmont. Ala. Indeed they
do, for him. He has made one of
the most remarkable showings re
corded during the contest. In seven
days from the time he entered, he
rolled up a total of 35.750 votes, and
has been going rapidly ahead ever
since.
“I have always wanted a pony, and
1 am going to do my best,” w'rites a
little girl in Columbus. Ga. She
makes a good start, too, by sending
in cash for a subscription.
"I am going to work hard for l
sure want the pony bad." is the ex
pression of Charles E. Kelley, of Cur-
tersville, who is just nine years old.
Already he has used up one of the
subscription books and has sent in
a demand for another.
Votes Increase Like Snowball.
How votes increase like a snowball
for real workers is shown by the ex
perience of Robert Hyatt Brown, of
Murphy, N. C. He got a number of
one-month subscriptions early in the
contest. These subscribers liked The
Georgian and American so well that
they renewed, and Robert is geting
the votes. %
Once during the past week, the
contest managers worked all night
answering letters. This is one of the
reasons:
“The Atlanta Georgian—Dear
Sir: I am writing you to find out
how to get all of them prizes you
are giving away I saw in the pa
per Tuesday morning. I will be
glad to get some of that money
you are giving away.
Yours truly, ”
The letter is from a little bit of a
chap out in the State. He hasn't
progressed to the point where he is a
strong grammarian or a first class
speller, but he has the hustling in
stinct. Notice he says “how to get
all of them prizes”—not “how to get
one of them."
Since the time he wrote the letter,
he has made a good start.
Ponies to Come Downtown.
One thing after another, principally
the. flood of mail in the contest de
partment and the great number of
votes to count, check and credit to
contestants, has prevented bringing
the ponies down tovtn for exhibition.
This will be done soon, however, if
the weather remains fine.
In looking over the list of contest
ants and their vote totals, it is inter
esting to note that not one of them
has “clinched” a pony. There is not
a leader in any district who can be
sure of remaining leader from now on
until the end. There is not one who
can rest content.
Which, of course, is as it should be.

languidness and a weakened physical
condition result. Eliminate Autotox
emia, and we could live to be hun
