TTTpf ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. " SCDRES SEATO-SEA CUB IUT0 CUT-OUTS Says Clearing Houses May Im press Democrats That They Err in Not Heeding Bankers. Roh^rt F. Maddox declared Friday that Congress Is misled if It believes the Chicago conference of bankers did not represent accurately the views of the rank and file of the bankers of the United States, and the clearing houses all over the country are likely to make thia plain to the Democrats, who seem bound to push the Owen- Glass currency bill through unamend ed. Mr. Maddox, vice president of the American National Bank and a mem ber of the committee from the Amer ican Bankers' Association, which will seek radical amendments to the pres ent currency bill by appearing before the Congres.'iional committees, be lieves the action of the Democratic caucus yesterday unreasonable. The caucus of the House pledged itself to support the bill without further changes. "It has been understood," said Mr. Maddox, "that those in charge of the currency bill in the House did not wish to hear from the bankers and business men of the country, notwith standing their vital Interest in the measure. From repeated statements in the paper It seems the Democratic caucus will carry out its purpose of forcing the Owen-Glass bill through the House. "I feel sure that the action of the convention of bankers in Chicago was a fair representation of the view of bankers* in general throughout the United States, although from Wash ington dispatches it seems to be as sorted that this conference did not represent the rank and file of bankers of the nation. "I would not be surprised to see the clearing houses all over the United States take up active discussion of I this bill, and 1 believe when their ac tion upon the bill is taken it will prove to the Administration that the bankers and business men are almost unanimously dissatisfied with the currency bill as it stands approved by the House caucus, and it will prove that the suggested amendments of the Chicago convention would mate rially improve the bill and benefit the nation. "One encouraging sign is that the caucus did agree to lengthen the term of farm loans to one year, which was one of the suggestions of the Chicago conference." Democrats Caucus on Currency Bill Again. WASHINGTON, An*. 29—The Democratic caucus of the House held another session to-day, chiefly for the purpose of allowing some members to ‘explain" why they voted for the Glass hill. Representative Underwood. Democratic leader, was confident tnat the bill would be put through by the end of next week. Republicans of the House had not decided to-day what attitude they would take toward the currency blil, which goes to-day to the House bear ing the indorsement of the Demo cratic caucus, which ndded two amendments Thursday. One changes the requirement as to reserves, turning loose more money for circulation. The other extends from nine to twelve months the time that loans on farm lands may run. This was adopted by 119 to 63. The bill, after nearly three weeks of discussion, was approved by the caucus by a vote of 163 to 9. The nine dissenters were Representatives Henry, Kagle and Callaway, of Texas; Hardwick, of Georgia; lx»beck, of Ne braska; Buchanan and Fowler, of Il linois; Neeley, of Kansas, and Sisson, of Mississippi. After agreeing to the bill, the cau cus adopted a resolution by almost unanimous vote, declaring the bill to be a party measure and that "mem bers of this caucus are pledged for the bill to its final passage without amendment, provided, however, the Banking and Currency Committee may offer amendments in the House." Glass Sums Up Measure. The measure as it stands after adoption by the caucus is summed up by Chairman Glass, who piloted it through the caucus, as follows: “The bill establishes twelve region al reserve banks, with a capital of not less than $5,000,000 each, to which national banks are required to con tribute an amount equal to 10 per. cent of their own capital stock and to become liable for an additonal 10 per cent in case of call. "Over the whole system of region al reserve banks is to be a Federal reserve board consisting of seven members. “The measure provides an advisory council of bankers without actual To Refund 2 Per Cent Bonds. "One important provision is for the gradual refunding, for a period of twenty years, of the United States 2 per cent bonds into 3 per cent G^v- I ernment bonds without t’ e circula- I tion privilege. This will mean the ! eventual retirement of national bank j notes. “The notable reserve feature of the I bill contemplates a reduction of the reserve requirements of reserve and ' central reserve cities from 25 to 18 I per cent and of all country hanks from 15 titi.2 per cent. I 4 NatiofljK banks are compelled to become members of th e system under penalty of forfeiture of charters, while State banks are permitted to Pathfinder Ferguson Declares the Roads on Gulf Riviera Are Sur prisingly Well Made. E. L. Ferguson. The Sunday Ameri can pathfinder for the all-Southern coast-to-coast highway, left Poplar- ville, Miss., Friday morning on the last leg of the hike from Mobile to j New Orleans. The party will reach j the Crescent City shortly before noon Saturday, according to the present schedule. Contrary to all expec tations Mr ; Ferguson found the roads between ) Mobile and New Orleans far better j than they had been reported. One stretch, "right on the very edge of i the Gulf," according to the dispatch, ' was as good road as any that the transcontinental car has traversed since leaving Atlanta. Ah first in Georgia and then in Ala bama, too, the receptions and cele brations given in honor of the path finders in Mississippi have been of a royal nature. I saving Mobile Wed nesday the tourists drove direct to Pascagoula, where a hearty ovation | was extended by a delegation of prominent citizens, who escorted the party through the city to the river ' ferry. At Ocean Springs, the stopping j place Wednesday night, a similar 1 demonstration was given. Citizens of Biloxi, Mississippi City, Gulfport | and Pass Christian also manifested much enthusiasm in way project. Mr. Ferguson and party will pass through Bogalusa, Covington and Abita Springs Friday, spending the night at Mandeville, La., preparatory to taking the ferry for New Orleans early Saturday morning. Dr. Broughton May Aid in Revival Here The Cut Out of a motor car is a Noisy Nuisance used by a certain class of motorists to make a 16-candlepower engine sound like a Regular Racer. It is popularly supposed to increase the power of the motor 15 to 25 per cent by letting it breathe audibly. It does not do that, or anything like it. Any gas engineer will tell you so. If your engine is a regular engine, it will pull all you want it to with the Soft Pedal applied, in the city or out of it. If your engine isn’t a regular engine, unmuzzling the ex. haust won’t help it. What it WILL do, however, is to wake up honest people who are asleep, and make the thin hold on life a burden to sick people, and frighten pedestrians into spasms and horses into fits and make your car generally an obnoxious and lawbreaking nuisance. There are other things, of course, but these are enough. You recall the Emperor Napoleon in one of his battles send ing for the captain of the artillery and demanding to know why he had ceased firing. “Sire,” replied the officer, “I have eleven reasons for ceas ing fire.” “State them,” commanded the Emperor. “My first reason,” the officer replied, “is that I have no more powder.” Well, you needn’t mention the other reasons,” rejoined the Emperor, or words to that effect. There might be a dozen good reasons why mufflers should perform their office of muffling gatling-gun exhausts within the corporate limits of Atlanta. Most likely there are all of a dozen reasons. But if one of those reasons is that the cut-out is against the Law— Well, you needn’t mention the other reasons. Cut out the Cut-out.

Baby Is Owner of $40,000 Mine Claim CHICAGO, Aug. 29.—Baby Catheryn Mulcalre, of Rosemort, Ill., is an heir ess and the owner of a mining claim in Alaska. It happened this way: Thirteen years ago in New Orleans Howard Mulcalre married Ellen Ri ley, sister of James B. Riley, of Oma ha. Mulcalre and his bride moved to Illinois and Riley went to the Klon dike. Five months before Baby Catheryn appeared Howard Mulcalre died. Riley also died recently and left a $40,000 mining claim to "Howard Mulcalre or his offspring." Strong impetus was given the movement to stop the terrible noise In the city from cutting out auto mobile mufflers by an interview' Fri day by Councilman A. R. Colcord, chairman of the Council Police Com mittee. It w-as given as an admoni tion to the police department to stop this nuisance, and Chairman Colcord said he was confident he was sup ported in his position by the entire Council. "We passed a law against this pub lic disturbance and for a time It sub sided," said Councilman Colcord. “There was no reason for the police to have ever let up. "I don’t blame the business people of the town for protesting against the action of persons who dart back and forth through the streets so unmind ful of the comfort and interests of others that they seem to tfiink the throbbing of their auto engines is the pow'er that drives the universe. "A stranger observing Peachtree street at times might thing it w'as the starting point on a speedway, there Is the frenzy of so much ex ploding gas. Yet we have allowed this condition to go on for months, in what is supposed to be our quiet, orderly busfness district, without complaint.* T like to see the joyriders get their full limit of pleasure, but they should go out to some country road make their engines sputter, and to He Is ‘Charlie Ross’ House Probers Find New Kind of Graft WASHINGTON. Aug 29.—The House Lobby Investigating Committee to-ciay stumbled into a new species of petty graft at rhe Capitol. It was the “gov ernment document" graft. Allen A. Irvine, a second-hand book dealer, summoned to testify in behalf of Representative McDermott, confessed that he bought public documents, many of them worth $1 apiece, from mem bers of Congress who were supposed to distribute them to persons in their dis tricts, but did not. Irvine declined to give the names of the Congiessinen from whom he bought the documents. DeKalb Masons Are Hosts at Barbecue NEW YORK, Aug 29.—Charles Brewster Rons, the lost "Charlie Ross," whose mysterious disappear ance a half-century ago was the talk of a decade, has been found, if the tale of a Cleveland man proves true.

Aug. 29.—The leading business men of Carrollton, to the number of nearly 100, met in the city hall and organized a Booster Club. Mayor W. H. Shaw was made chairman and Editor J. J. Thomasson, of The Times, secretary. Steps were taken to organize a permanent body —a Chamber of Commerce. The Boosters plan two Itineraries into the trade territory of Carrollton to take place next Thursday and Sat urday, September 4 and 5. They will carry ten or twelve automobiles CARROLLTON, Aug. 29.—Fire at 2 a.. m. destroyed the old home of C. B. Simonton, on Rome street, which was occupied by James Dempsey, chief of Carrollton’s fire department, and Mr. and Mrs. John Rocker. The fire had gained such headway when discovered by an old negro that the family had a narrow' escape, Jumping from the windows. Wm, Flinn, Roosevelt Aide, Seriously Ill Former State Wife Too Active for Even Film Author CHICAGO, Aug. 29.—Proof that won ders never cease was contained in a bill for divorce filed by Erm Harold Ma son, a moving picture scenario writer. "Too much action," was the burden of his complaint. Judging by the bill of particulars. Mrs. Mason has supplied enough action dur ing the eight year of their married life to fill a million feet of picture film even then they should be careful not to disturb any one’s sleep. It is foolish and useless to cut out muf flers on the paved city streets and, what Is more, It Is against the law. 'T am glad to see an agitation to stop it. I think satisfactory results will be secured without much ado." Chief Beavers' determination to stop the nuisance, backed up by the Council, means immediate and con certed action. Through indifference the law was allowed tc- fall into dis use, but the general opinion is that its revival will mean a more rigid enforcement than ever.

Read what one of the GREATEST NEWSPAPERS IN AMERICA has to say on this subject: “ The manufacturers of Castoria have been compelled to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to familiarize the public with the signature of Chas. H. Pletcher. This has been necessitated by reason of pirates counterfeiting the Castoria trade mark. This counterfeiting is a crime not only against the proprietors of Castoria, but against the growing generation. All persons should be careful to see that Castoria bears the signature of Chas. H. Pletcher, if they would guard the health of their children. Parents, and mothers in particular, ought to carefully examine the Castoria advertisements which have been appearing in this paper, and to re member that the wrapper of every bottle of genuine Castoria bears the fac-simile signature of Chas. H. Fletcher, under whosa supervision it has been manufactured continuously for over thirty years—Philadelphia Bulletin. Letters from Prominent Druggists - addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Conger Bros, of St. Paul, Minn., say: “Fletcher’s Castoria Is certainly full of merit and worthy of recommendation.” C. O. A. Loder, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “For 20 years wa hare sold Fletcher's Castoria and are pleased to state that It has given universal satisfaction.” The Scholtz Drug Co., of DerSfr, Colo., says: “Fletcher’s Castoria has surely become a household word. Seemingly every family where there are children uses It.” Hoagland 4 Mansfield, of Boston, Mass., say: "We have nothing but good to say about your Castoria and we do not hesitate to give it our onquallfied endorsement.” v Hiker's Drug Stores, of New York City, say: "Fletcher’s Castoria Is one of the oldest and most popular preparations In our stores. We have nothing but good to say about It.” Wolff-Wilson Drug Co., of St Louis, Mo., says: “Of the thousands of patent medicines for which we have demand there are a very few of them that we can conscientiously recommend and your Castoria Is In cluded In this few.” D. R. Dyche & Co., of Chicago, Ills., say: “The Increasing demand for your Castoria shows that a. discriminating public Is not slow to seek out a remedy of merit and once convinced that It does all and even more than claimed they do not hesitate to recommend It to their friends.” The Owl Drug Co., of San Francisco, Cal., says: "We have always been a believer in the ‘original man protection' and have been particular never to sell anything but the genuine and original Castoria (Fletcher’s).
