Mrs. Grace made the announce ments immediately following re ceipt of a request from David Mar tin that she vacate her apartments in the Swan Hotel, at Coatesville, of which Martin is proprietor.

June 4.—In a speech at the celebration of the birth- Measure, Expected To Be Pre sented First of Next Session, Approved by President. WASHINGTON. June 4.—Chairman Jones, of the House Ins'ular Affairs Committee, announced to-day he would call his committee together next week to frame a bill, to be re ported on the first day of the next session, to grant independence to the Philippine Islands. President Wilson still believes early action on this Is necessary. Jones declared to-day it wa« possi ble that the bill might pass the House at the present session, the Democratic- caucus rule which restricts general legislation of the session to currency and tariff being subject to amend ment at a separate caucus. He declined to disclose the result of a conference he had with the Presi dent on this subject several days ago, but it was learned that the President asserted he was fully in sympathy with the principles of the Philippine bill which passed the house some tim« ago and which granted full independ ence to the Philippines after a period of eight years and qualified independ ence in the interim. Sees Bar to Jap War. “Independence for the Philippines,' said Jones to-day, "would eliminate the chance of war between the I’nited States anu Japan. With the Philip pines neutral territory, the Japanese would he less liable to rush into com bat. They know that as long as the Philippines are in the possession of the I’nited States, we would be under a handicap.” It was declared. however. that Hou^e Republicans would fight the Philippine measure. "It would be a crime to surrender the islands,” said Representative Kahn, of California. "The Filipinos who assisted us in the war with the revolutionists might meet a terrible fate. It is not long ago that they buried men alive in the Philippines." Representative Shirley, of Ken tucky, is one of the Democrats of the Home who is opposed to early free dom for the islands. He argued against hasty and ill-advised action on this question. "I am in fayor of Filipino independ ence.” Representative Kinkead, of New Jersey. Democrat, said, "but 1 am not prepared to indorse all of the features of the Jones bill.” Urges Careful Consideration. "This is a very grave matter," said Senator Hitchcock, chairman of the Senate Philippine Committee, "and OQe which we must consider care fully before legislation giving the islanders independence is enacted.” Senator Lane, also a Democrat, stated: "I am for giving the Filipinos their liberty and I am willing to vote upon the matter at any time my col leagues get together.” "Although I have no 4 ; talked the matter over with Chairman Hitch cock." said Senator Fletcher, ranking Democratic member of the commit tee, "it seems more than probable that extended hearings will be held on .this question. We have assumed the guardianship of the Filipinos and we must look out for the future welfare of the islands." U, S, Boys Touring World Stranded Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. LONDON.

Theory Offered That He Needed More Insurance to Protect Stockholders, By COLE E, MORGAN. JACKSONVILLE. FLA. June 4.— Edward Okie Painter's family and Intimate friends positively state their belief that his death in the St. Johns River on May 22 was accidental and not premeditated or due to mental .aberration, as is talked in Jackson ville. They declare his business was in excellent condition, his home life idea! and that he had no cause to seek self- destruction. The insistence of insurance sales men to write policies, bwause he was considered ah excellent risk, and be cause a spirited competition among insurance rivals had ensued this spring, are the explanations offered for his taking out a million dollars of new insurance since February 1. A persistent report in insurance and business circles to-day, explain ing the probable motive for suicide, is thot Painter had been checked in financial plans he had under way when insurance companies refused to issue additional policies on his life within a Week before his death. Planned to Increase Holdings. According to this report.. Painter had launched plans to double the $350,000 book value capital stock and surplus of the E. O. Painter Fertilizer Company to $700,000 by the sale of a new stock issue. It is said he pro posed with these funds to enlarge the company's operations, not only in the United States, but in the West In- diaji Islands and South America, where the company already has hold ings, to be prepared to extend oper ations upon the completion of the Panama Canal. An explanation of the million dol lars’. new Insurance, much of which was made payable to the company and the rest to his estate and family, is suggested in that this would give an added security to the company's stock as a protection to stockholders in the >V£nt of his death and there fore would prove an ‘asset- of nego tiable value. It was planned to declare a 15 per cent dividend on the outstanding stock at a stockholders* meeting yes terday afternoon, bfit this was not done, the meeting adjourning \vi.tlv practically no business transacted. This dividend it is pointed out. would have established the utmost confidence in the minds of investors coupled with Painter's high standing in business circles. Such a dividend would have rhafde the sdle of additional ■stock a com paratively* easy matter. Many plant ers pgrticuiar.y in Florida and South Georgia, it is stated, were ready to purchase blocks of the new stock, whereby they would be enabled to reduce their fertilizer bills by buy ing from .a. .cpnipany in which they held stock and received dividends. Organs at John Hopkins. Coroner Abbott stated this after noon tjtat aH of. Painter’s vital or gans sent to Baltimore are in the hand# of chemists there. said he had received a message to-day that Dr. Charles Glaser’, of Johns Hopkins, had completed the chemical analysis of the heart, stomach and other func tional' organ* and that Dr. 'MeLeary this afternoon, would . complete a pathological examination of Painter’s brain. The repoTts of these chemists are expected In Jacksonville by-the Upr.o- ner on Friday afternoon, whereupon, he will summon the jury and "it- nesses for a complete investigation into Painter’s death early next weak He declared the whole story of Painter's, death and affairs bearing on it will be brought out then. In addition to the $1,178,000 instif- ance carried by Painter, it is known that he bought $125,000 additional that he did not secure. A $50,000 policy was issued by the Equitable Life, but before it was delivered the agent here was instructed to hold it because Painter was over insured. This policy was taken to Painter the Saturday before his death, but he told the agent to hold it until Monday, when he would give a check for the pre mium and accept it. Before it could be delivered on Monday a telegram came from the home office that it must not be delivered. On April 12 a $50,00<> application was made with the Travelers. On May 15 the company postponed the applicant for six months. On May 14, Painter applied to the Florida Life for $25,000 insurance, the application was rejected by the com pany's medical director the very morn ing Painter was drowned, because he was over weight. His blood pressure showed 160 in the medical examina tion. On May 17 Painter asked the com pany to give him a receipt for pre mium notes that had accompanied his application. This was done A f4 .er his death the company offered to return the notes, requesting that the com pany’s receipt be given back. This was refused at Painter’s office. Miss Okie Painter, the dead man’s only daughter and his namesake has for several year? occupied a position in his office, and has been one of the directing soirjts in tile E O. Painter Fertilizer Company. She is authority for, the statement, speaking for the family, that he had no reason to want to die. She is typically a business woman. She disvusses the affair calmly and deliberately, with little of the emotion typical of her sex. State Senator J. B. Conrad, of GlenWood, a wealthy banker, has been named acting president of the fertili zer company, but has not taken charge, being engaged in the legisla tive session at Tallahassee. In the meantime D. A. Morrison. Jr., secre tary. is directing the company’s af fairs, advising with Miss Painter upon matters concerning the family’s inter est. A secret meeting of the stockhold ers was held yesterday afternoon. It is said a 15 per cent dividend planned at this time was not declared because of Painter's d^ath. Painted a Self-made Man. Painter was a self-made man. start ing in business with a very limited education. As his daughter grew up he gave her a splendid education and depended on her where he was defi cient. Painter was a real leader in Florida and Jacksonville. His word was accepted without question. As an evidence of his popularity he was elected one of the Jacksonville port comrpissioners in a recent election, receiving th’e third highest vote amoqg fifteen* candidates. This was his. first political contest. ' He headed the Board of Trade’s foreign com mittee. Last December he represent ed Jacksonville at the Panama Trade Conference held in Atlanta. He was active in charity enterprises, his fav orite being r the Children’s Home So ciety. It is said that one condition he exacted of the insurance agents who wrote his recent policies was that a percentage of the premiums go to this society, of which he was secretary. The Painter case has brought to light a peculiar phase of Florida law. There is practically no penalty pre scribed for the mutilation of a dead body before it is in the custody of the Coroner. The only punishment im posed is a misdemeanor for interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duties. Consequently, those who performed or instigated the hasty autopsy on Painter's body before the Cbfbner's jury h^d seen it were to all intents within the law, and no legal question as to their action is ‘anticipated. No Word From Baltimore. Thu# far Coroner C. D. Abbott has heard nothing of the results of the analysis ordered In Baltimore. He has directed that the report be sent to him through the Barnet National I4ank, while Dr P C. Perry, repre- sertingthe family, has contended that he is the proper one to receive it. Ho is now in Baltimore. Coroner Abbott’s authority in this rase has been questioned because the body was recovered on the South Jacksonville side of the river and an other coroner has jurisdiction there. But it was landed on the Jackson ville side, and for that reason Cor oner Abbott was notified. The Cor oner's jury that viewed the remains <of. t,he body oply after the autopsy was performed has had but one meet ing since the day of the death, and is awaiting the report from Balti more. The investigation here is at a standstill. The insurance companies are now doing practically nothing pending the inquest verdict. No ad juster here professes to know what his company plans to do and the mystery is as unsolved to-day as it was a week or more ago. • any foreign nation from building a rival to the Panama (’anal in that country and give the I’nited States an excellent harbor and coaling sta tion on the coast of Nicaragua, was discussed at a conference to-day by Secretary of State Bryan and Sena tor Bacon, of Georgia, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations.

It would mean, he s-aid, repudiation of the men. His re marks were applauded. Mr. Heflin traced the prominent part played by the South In Revolu tionary times, in the formation of the Republic and in its growth. He told how the Southern women had in spired the soldier in battle, minis tered to him when he returned bleed ing to his desolated home, and how she helped him to build up his shat tered fortune.
