CQMINCFQR ZOO
Fine Bear Specimens Reward
Carey’s Efforts—Captured
in Yellowstone Reserve.
A big, wild grizzly bear and two
cubs will be added to the Grant Pa2k
Zoo next week. They were shipped
from the Government reservation in
Yellowstone Park Friday and should
reach Atlanta not later than next
Wednesday.
Manager Dan Carey received a tel
egram Friday morning that the bear
and cubs had been shipped. He said
that their cost to the city of Atlanta,
in addition to the express, w’ould be
just $62.
When Manager Carey visited Wash
ington in May, 191 , to attend the
playgrounds convention, he took up
with the Government the matter of
getting a grizzly bear for Grant Park,
and has kept steadily at it. More
than 50 letters have been exchanged
between Manager Carey and the
Government officials, it appearing it
times that there would be no chance
of getting this prize specimen, but
Manager Carey kept steadily at it an 1
the telegram stating that they had
been shinned was the culmination.
Yellowstone Park is the only place
where it is possible to obtain a real
grizzly bear, and the expense was in
curred in the capture, no charge be
ing made by the Government.
In the open market a specimen of
this kind—the weight of the bear and
cubs being 1.400 rounds—would cost
several hundred dollars.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.—To facili
tate the movement of crops, the Ad
ministration, through Secretary Mc-
Adoo, announce® that $25,000,000 to
$50,000,000 of Government funds will
be deposited in the national banks • *f
the South and West at once. Federal,
State and municipal bonds and prime
commercial paper will be accepted a3
security for the money, upon which
the banks will pay 2 per cent interest.
Unusual Amount Needed.
The motive of the Administration in
establishing this new policy is to an
ticipate the money stringency in the
late summer and fall, which accom
panies the marketing and movement
of crops, especially when the crops
are unusually large, as the harvest
now beginning forecasts. He intends
to prevent or minimize the usual
tightness of money.
The Secretary announces that Gov
ernment bonds will be accepted at
par a® security for the new deposi’s,
and that the additional money would
be placed only with banks which
have taken out at least 40 per cent of
their authorized circulation.

serving as security for most of the
national bank circulation, have been
depressed recently to new low'
records, dropping to 95 3-4 during the
past few days. The Secretary’s will
ingness to accept these bond® at par
as security for the $25,000,000 to $50,-
000,000 of promised deposit® and the
inducement to the national banks to
increase their circulation up to the 40
per cent limit are expected to help in
restoring the parity of the depressed
2s by creating a new’ market for them
To Accept Commercial Paper.
For the first time m history the
Government will accept prime com
mercial paper as security for depos
its. This privilege will be granted,
announced the Secretary, in order ti
make these special deposits available
to the banks on securities readily
within their reach.
“The commercial paper submitted,’’
added Mr. McAdoo, “shall first b2
passed upon and anproved by the
clearing house committees of the cltto®
in which the banks offering ®uch pa
per may be located. All commercial
paper and bonds must finally bs
passed upon and accepted by the Sec
retary.”
Mrs. Silva Hawkins Takes Stand
in Own Defense in Gaines
ville Court.
GAINESVILLE, Aug. 1.—Mrs. Sil-
va Hawkins, on trial under a triple
Indictment with James and Bartow
Cantrell for the murder of her hus
band, Arthur Hawkins, at Bellton,
to-day took the witness stand and
denied that she had anything what
ever to do with a plot to kill her
husband.
She declared that the Cantrell
boys murdered him because he wae
opposed to their operating a still,
and that there had been trouble be
fore the killing between the Cantrell
boys and her husband.
All testimony has been heard and
argument® of counsel have begun.
It is the general belief that the
State has built up a strong case
against Mrs. Hawkins, evidence
showing that she had tried to get
strychnine and had threatened her
husband’s life because of her affec
tion for James Cantrell. Letters
were Introduced purporting to be
from her to Cantrell, and in them
were many endearing words.
Colonel \V. M. Johnson, for the
defense, claimed the Sheriff had no
right to force a confession from Mrs.
Hawkins.
