Senator Kern Tells of His Recovery
Mrs. Luke Lea, wife of the Senator from Tennessee, who is
receiving latest lung treatment.
B. W. Farrar, in Charge of Local In
stitution, Says It’s Doing Good
Work in Establishing Confidence
of F oreigners and Strangers in City.
The postal savings bank established
by the United States Government is
not the sucres* 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
ie 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
(•00 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 institution.
The missrion of the bank, as he and
B. 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 sons 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, mostly Boy Scouts, who, to ac
quire standing in their organization,
must have a savings deposit of at
least one dollar. But by far the roost
of the depositors, almost 90 per cent
of the total number, are men. and,
movt 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,
wen*, 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 part
of his deposits in sums of $20. $40. $60.
$80. $100. or 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 ?*ee.” remarked Mr. Farrar,
“the bank helps out the habit of pav
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.
Patronage of the postal savings
bank in 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 H©
is adding deposits* 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 deposits* by States
were:
and depositors wHl 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.

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, $10,265,-
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 circulation 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 Kem, Democratic leader of the
upper house, increased to-day when
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.
AH 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 pharge
of the Public Health Bureau, and wno
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 ouTed bv Dr. Von
Ruck about the same time as himself.
Among them were Mrs. J. M. Trotter,
wife of ,a wholesale grocer of Chat
tanooga, Tonti., 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 eare-
| 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 wMlling, ought to be given to
the world.”

FORMER GAMBLING DEN IN

CHICAGO. May 31.—What was
once reputed to be a gambling den
with secret doors and other devices
for the escape of gambler*- in cast*
of raids was to-day converted into a
mission as un adjunct of the Moody
Church.
W S.-Jacoby, who say?* he served
in Indian campaigns under General
Custer and lat-er became a gambling-
house keeper, announced that he had
turned evangelist and that the first
religious service in the den would be
held to-morrow.
OLIVET, MICH.. May 31.—In 1901
John Evans was graduated from Oli
vet College. To-day, at the age of
thirty-three, he is Governor of 200 of
the Philippine Islands, and Is one ot
the Important figures* in Uncle Sam’s
island possessions.
He is located on the Island of Pal
awan, the largest of the ten score un
der his charge, being 200 miles in
length and 4ft miles in width.
The year following his arrival in
the Philippines his younger brother.
Glenn, also a football player, quit col
lege and set sail for his older broth
er’s new home.
John Evans is a pioneer in* the
Philippines. He is well educated and
possesses good common sense, accord
ing to those who know him. His rise
has been rapid. He went to the
it lands as a school teacher, and for
three years he was at the head of the
schools at Catlobogan, Leyte Island.
He spent the next four years in or
ganizing schools on various islands,
and when in 1908 the Lieutenant
Governor of Bontoc, province of the
Island of Luzon resigned, John
Evans, then but twenty-eight yearg
old, was Dean C. Worcester's choice
to succeed the retiring official.
Conquers Head Hunter*.
It was as Lieutenant Governor of
Bontoc that the Olivet graduate first
gained recognition. His province was
Inhabited by the fierce Moros, who
spent a large part of their time in
"head hunting”—that is. they did lit
tle except cut off the heads of mem
bers of ether tribes on the Island of
Luzon. In two years John Evans
made "head hunting” unpopular with
the Moros.
A Government report from the
Philippines of several years ago
states that "Lieutenant Governor
Evans is the first man who has ever
recovered a bead taken by one of the
native tribes.”
One of Evans' native brickmakers
had left the plant alone one night and
never arrived at his home. Evans
knew r that he had been waylaid, and
that his head was In the possession
of his enemies.
The tribesmen of the dead native,
of course, demanded that Evans pun
ish the guilty parties. Accordingly,
the Lieutenant Governor ordered the
arrest of a number of the young men
of the tribe which he knew had com
mitted the deed.
His Jealousy Aroused.
How’ever, he could find nothing in
this manner. Knowing the old men ot
the tribe knew everything going on
within, ne decided to approach them.
He selected the oldest man in the
tribe. The old fellow denied any
knowledge of the crime.
“What,” said Evans, "you, the most
revered man in your tribe, and you
haven’t the confidence of your young
warriors. "In my country my grand
father would know everything.”
The old native’s Jealousy was
aroused; he told him the names of the
murderers. Lieutenant Governor Ev
ans recovered the head and the body
of the dead man. The head was
found in the middle of the river,
buried under a great stone, and the
body was found in the mountains 100
miles away. Evans travelled several
days to recover the body and return
ft to the proper tribe. In this man
ner he checked a war.
The natives do not care about the
death of a brother if they do not lose
Lis head or body. To lose either is a
disgrace.
In 1910 Gov. Miller, of the Island
of Palawan, met his death. Dean
Worcester selected John Evans as
Governor of Palawan, and placed 200
smaller islands, all inhabited, under
his charge.
Since 1910 Evans has been in that
section of the Philippines, the most
isolated of any. He is thirteen days’
sail from Manila and has no connec
tion with that city.
He is only two days’ sail from Bor-
oco. On the 200 islands are 300.000
partially civilized natives, and scores
of wild tribes, the members of which
have never been counted. His only
protection against this half million
savages is a native constabulary of
700 soldiers and five commissioned of
ficers. Incidentally, Governor Evans
is the first civilian to rule over
Palawan.
Draws a Dead Line.
Little has been done to educate the
tribes on the 200 islands. Gov. Evans
has spent most of his time building
roads, developing the eo.coanut groves,
rubber plantations and hemp fields.
In Palawan he again fotind the sav
age Moros. In order to have them
where he could watch them, he moved
7,000, all that were on Palawan, from
the west side of the island to the
extreme southern part. Then he drew
a “dead line," putting up monuments
to mark it. and notified the Moros
that every man who stepped over this
line would be shot. The Moros are
still in South Palawan.
Gov. Evans introduced brick mak
ing and taught the natives how to
build substantial houses. He also
introduced cloth making, and as a re
sult the natives are wearing better
clothes.
During alb his years in the Philip
pines Mrs. Evans has remained with
her husband. 9
ONE WOMAN BUYS ENTIRE
GROUP OF COLORADO MINES
IDAHO SPRINGS, COL., May 31. -
One of the mo9t important rYiining
deals in two years in Clear Creek
County was closed to-day when Mrs.

Close to 400 now, It is believed the
contestants will number 500 by the
end of June, and that there will be
a much larger proportion of real, ear
nest workers.
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
«'all at the contest department offices
with their votes, say:
"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 w'eeks 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
I am going to do my best," writes 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 I
sure want the pony bad.” is the ex
pression of Charles E. Kelley, of Car-
tersville, who is Just nine years old.
Already he lias used up one of the
subscription books and has sent in
a demand for another.
Vote* 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 w r ell 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 t<> 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.
Ponie* 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 town 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 ('an be
sure of remaining leader from now on
until the end. There is not one who
can rest content.
Which, of course, is a« it should be.
TEACHER-BRIDE’S DISMISSAL
COSTS TRUSTEES IN SUIT
AI.TUS, OKLA., May 31.—When
Mb’s Ethel Newman, a teacher in the
public schools of Mountain View, took
unto herself a husband during the
Christmas vacation and thereby be
came Mrs. <\ V. Clark, the trustees
of Nos. 52 and 36 immediately dis
charged her and refused to permit her
to return and teach out the term for
which she had been employed. She
thereupon brought suit 1n the District
Court of Kiowa County, and the case
was decided in her favor at the last
term, the trustees being compelled to
pay her the full amount of her salary,
in addition to the costs in the case.
Woodmont, Conn., off* red this yes
terday, prefacing it with the query:
"Where it* Winsted now?”
While fibbing In the Sound off
Woodmont Robert Mot toon, youngest
.*on of Capt. A. W. Mattoou of the
Governor’s Guard, hooked a black-
fish big enough to be eaten. In re
moving the hook from the fish’s
mouth. Robert discovered that it had
gold crowned tooth on its lower
Jaw.
The report of the catch spread
through Woodmont and reached tne
ears of Dr Frank C. Parsons, dentist.
He explained that one day last Octo
ber with William H. Hamilton, a
merchant, he went Mackfishlng off
the rocks at Woodmont. I>r. Persons
caught a blaekflHh so small that he
decided to toss It back into the water.
First he affixed a gold crown on one
of its teeth.
This is where Winsted is-
Observing n splashing in the waters
of Highland Lake near shore Grover
Grossman, of WlnMted. paddled his
canoe to the spot to Investigate. There
he saw a bass weighing about three
pounds with a crawfish in its mouth.
The bass had bitten off more than
it could swallow’ because the crawfish
was wedged in the bass throat.
Grossman captured the floundering
bass with his hands and released the
crawfish and bass in turn.
And this is where Winsted is again:
A tame deer which stays on the
farm of Jeremiah La Montagne at
Winsted was browsing near the High
land Lake trolley Junction when John

WALDEN, COLO., May 31.—When
a huge grizzly bear rushed at Dr. J.
A. Dungan, of this city, while he was

death by throwing a lap robe over
the animal’s head jnd then ramming
it with his automobile, killing it in
stantly.
The doctor was at the end of a road
at the foot of a steep hill, and was
about to stop the car to go to a ranch

of la probe.
The doctor wrapped the rest of the
robe around the bear’s head, and

Blonde Is Accused.
CHICAGO, May 31.—Mrs H Del
Rosso, 4316 Evans Av'enue, interpo
lated a few sour notes into her inter

tho women will not leave him alone, ’

Experiences of Old West Related
to Immense Audiences by For-
mer Hold-up Man.
OKLAHOMA CITY. May 31.—Cole
Younger, former bandit, train and
bank robber and bad man, is filling
lecture engagements in the State.
Younger’s lecture is at least Interest
ing. for it is a detailed statement of
all the Incidents in his adventurous
life, with a few reservations made for
the sake of policy and to safe
guard against arrest In other States.
The former bandit has been lectur
ing several week* in the Southwest
and to crowded houses.
Younger tells of the incidents that
led up to his connection with the
Quantrell gang and the season of out
lawry after the close of the war.
Details of the bank robbery and the
subsequent flight in Minnesota are
given, but the lecture does not ad
mit that he actually engaged in any
other bank or train robbery.
Younger’s talks are not without
pathos, for he has witnessed mahv
scenes that moved him as well as tne
other outlaws to tears. Some of their
good deeds are thrown In in a light
way, but the moral of it ail is that it
does not pay to become an outlaw.
While here Younger has formed a
friendship with A1 J. Jennings, at one
time leader of a gang of outlaws and
train robbers in the Southwest. Jen
nings has accompanied him to sev
eral of the towns where he was to
lecture and introduced him to the
audiences.
Jennings is not more widely known
than Younger as a reformed outlaw,
but has a more intimate acquaintance
in the State. Jennings is a practic
ing lawyer in the city and last fall
made a most sensational race for
County Attorney. He was defeated by
only a few votes.
"While I am with Younger,” said
Jennings, "the people of Oklahoma
know the trains will not be held up
and robbed. I reformed right here
before them, and they know me.
They do not know Cole Younger so
well.”
