PARIS, Aug. 21.—The police claim ed to-day to have solved the mystery surrounding the theft of >120,000 worth of rare stamps from the col lection of M. Hadimirxa, the famous Persian stamp collector, by causing the arrest of his wife. \eoordtli(jf to fho authorities. Mine. Hadimirsa confessed taking the stamps and fleeing to Berlin, but re- j fused to divulge their hiding place. Hadlmirzn had the finest collection in • the world A petition signed by 214 attorneys of Atlanta was presented to Governor John M. Slaton Thursday morning at 11 o’clock asking that the ndw fourth Judge of the Atlanta Judicial (Mrcult, provided for in a bill passed by the last session of the General Assembly, be appointed from among the mem bers of the Atlanta bar who have been residents of Fulton County for at least three years. The petition was presented to tjio Governor by a committee of 25 law - years, of which Hollis N. Randolph is .chairman, which was named at a meeting of the Atlanta Bar Associa tion soon after the passage of.the bill. The committee, in .transmitting the petition to the .Governor,.made it plain that the local attorneys ventured to make no suggestions as to wllorfi he . fe haM appoint, inasmuch as the Gov ernor has for several years been a leading attorney of Atlanta and is in timately acquainted with the qualifi cations and fitness of the local mem bers of the bar. The statement of the committee also calls the attention of the Gov ernor to the fact that the appoint ment of an Atlantan will In r\o way Interfere with the continued service Of Judge L. S. Roan, of the Stone Mountain Circuit, who now presides over the criminal division of the Ful ton Superior Court. It Is not thought that Governor Sla ton will announce his appointment until he returns from the conference of Governors at Colorado Springs next week, for which he expects to leave Satu rday. Promised $1,000,000 from the United States Treasury, the national banks of Atlanta are arguing strongly to convince Secretary McAdoo that At lanta deserves a larger portion of the $50,000,000 which he has volunteered to let the banks use at 2 per cent this fall, during the trying days of market, ing the crops of the South and the West. Since the Secretary maae his allot ment. crop prospect* in the Southeast have brightened as rapidily as the outlook in the West and Southwest has dimmed. Drouth makes it look as If the West wdll have a shortened yield, against the Southeast's bumper crop. This Is one of the arguments the Atlantans are using to prove they can use the money to greater advan tage than can cities in other sections. The expected $1,000,000 may come within a week. Washington has not set a definite date. Atlanta banks will be ready to comply with the re strictions the Secretary has drawn immediately upon notice that the de posits are available. Five Banks Eligible. Five national banks in Atlanta are eligible to receive a share of the $1,- 000,000. The other, one of the largest and best, does not believe In main taining a bank note circulation of 40 per cent, the size the Secretary de mands. Of the five eligible banks two have capital of $1,000,000 each, two have $600,000 capital and one has $500,000. The division of $1,000,000. if made Strictly according to capital, would put about $270,000 in' the larger two institutions, $162,000 in tw f o and $135,- 000 in the fifth. Ten per cent of the deposit must be secured by Government bonds. Government bonds are not a profit able investment. It is not likely that any Atlanta bank ha si $25,000 of them lying idle. But for this purpose prob ably they will borrow the bonds. Many banks and individuals are glad to lend their bonds for a small fee. State Bonds Available. Commercial paper may be used for security against the remaining 90 per cent of the deposits, at 65 per cent of its value. Assuming a Government deposit to be $200,00i» 10 per cent se cured by Government bonds, it would take $514,000 of commercial paper to secure the balance of the amount. Municipal or State bonds at 75 per cent valuation, can be need as se curity. Many of the .Atlanta banks have such bonds idle at present, picked up at attractive prices, and now “coming in handy.” In spite of all the restrictions, it will pay Atlantans to conform. Sec retary McAdoo want9 2 per cent. New York juMt now wants 5 1-2, with a strong probability that the rate soon will be stiffer. The necessary clearing house com mittee to pass on local commercial paper offered as collateral has not been named. Depositors in the City Savings Bank, which closed its doors March 31, will get 30 or 40 per cent of their money in September, according to L. F. McClelland, receiver. It may be the bank will reorganize and resume business at a new loca tion and under a new name. Some of the officers of the City Savings Bank have been frying hard to do this, but so far without result. Unless they are successful within the next week or ten days, Mr. Mc Clelland will ask permission from Judge Pendleton to declare a dividend early next month. At the same time he will ask the court’s permission to sell the assets. “I took charge May 27,’* Mr. Mc Clelland said. “At that time deposits were about >57,000 and loans were >86,900. I have collected $17,000 in cash, and persons with checking ac counts have paid $7,000 on their notes the bank held. Therefore, loans have been reduced >24,000 to $62,900, and deposits have been reduced $7,000 to $50,000. "I have $17,000 casn on nand against $50,000 deposits. By Septem ber I can probably pay 40 per cent. “I find an unexpected asset of about $3,000 In the shape of accrued inter est which was not listed in the state ment of condition given at the time the bank closed. This will help con siderably. “If the court will permit me to sel) the $62,900 in notes, the depositors can be paid In full at once. In any event, they will get *all their money, but it may take a long time. There are 1,500 depositors with $1 each.” Princeton Students Farming 200 Acres PRINCETON, N. J..
