CAUCUS' MONEY GIVEY OVATION
SILL ACTION
Says Clearing Houses May Im- Pathfinder Ferguson Declares the
press Democrats That They Err
in Not Heeding Bankers.
Robert 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 banker* of
the United States, and the clearing
houses all over the country are likely
to make this plain to the Democrats,
who seem bound to push the Owen-
Glass currency hill 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 Congressional committees, be
lieves the*actlon 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 it9 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
eerted that this conference did not
represent the rank and file of hankers
of the nation^ \
"I would not be surprised to see the
clearing houses all over the Unite.1
States take up active discussion of I
this bill, and I believe when their ac
tion upon the hill 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
uf farm loans to one year, which was
N^-of the suggestions of the Chicago
, Terence."
Democrats Caucus on
Cun\cy Bill Again.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 29—The
Democratic ^iucus of the House held
another session to-day, chiefly for the
purpose of allowing some members to
"explain" why they voted for the
Glass bill. Representative Underwood.
Democratic leader, was confident tnnt
the bill would be put ♦hn^gh by the
end of next week.
Republicans of the House had no f
decided to-day what attUude they
would take toward the currency bill,
which goes to-day to the Home 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. T^he 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
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
New Orleans. The party will reach
the Crescent City shortly before noon
Saturday, according to the present
schedule.
Contrary to all exportations Mr.
Ferguson found the roads between
Mobile and New Orleans far better
than they had been reported. One
stretch, "right on the very edge of
the Gulf." according to the dispatch;
as good road as any that the
transcontinental car has traversed
since leaving Atlanta.
As 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. Leaving Mobile Wed- I
nesday the tourists drove direct to
Pascagoula, where a hearty ovation |
was extended by a delegation of
prominent citizens, who escorted the I
party through the city to the river 1
ferry.
At Ocean Springs, the stopping
place Wednesday night, a similar
demonstration was given. Citizens i
of Biloxi. Mississippi City, Gulfport |
and Pass Christian also manifested
much enthusiasm in the great
way project.
Mr. Ferguson and party will pass
through Bogalusa, Covington and
Abltu Springs Friday, spending the
nigtit at Mundeville, La., preparatory
to taking the ferry for New Orleans
early Saturday morning.
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, i3 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.

House Probers Find
New Kind of Graft
WASHINGTON. Aug 29—The House
I/obby Investigating Committee to-day

that he bought public documents, many
of them worth $1 apiece, from mem
bers of Congress who were supposed to

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 Class, who piloted it
through the caucus, as follows:
“The bill establishes twelve region
al reserve banks, with a capital of
not less than $t».L'uO.OOO 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 I
council of bankers without actual j
l ower.
To Refund 2 Per Cent Bonds.
"One important provision is for the |
gradual refunding, for a period of i
twenty years, of the United States 2 i
per cent bonds into 3 per cent Gov
ernment bonds without t! e circula
tion privilege. This will mean the j
eventual retirement of national bank
notes.
"The notable reserve feature of the
bill contemplates a reduction of the
reserve requirements of reserve and
central reservq cities from 25 to 18
per cent and of all country banks
from 15 to 12 per cent.
"National banks are compelled to
become members of the system under
penalty of forfeiture of charters,
while {-’.ye banks are permitted to
become rrPmbers under regulations of

a. m. destroyed the old home of C. B.
Slmonton, on Rome street, which was
occupied by James Dempsey, chief of
Carrollton’s fire department, and Mr.

Aide, Seriously Ill
PITTSBURG, Aug. 29.—Former State
Senator William Flinn, Progressive
leader in Pennsylvania and one of
Theodore Roosevelt's chief lieutenants,
is seriously 111 in West Penn Hospital.
Several days ago he was operated on

suffering from a dangerous reaction. At
the hospital to-day It was said his con
dition was slightly improved.
Carrollton Plans
Booster Campaign
CARROLLTON. Aug. 29.—The
leading troslTieiS 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.
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,
chalrfnan of the Council Police Com
mittee. It was given a.s an admoni
tion to the police department to stop
this nuisance, an£ (Jfcalrman Colcord
said he wag 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.
”1 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 think the
throbbing of their auto engines Is
the power that drives the universe.
"A stranger observing Peachtree
street at times might thing It was
the starting point on a speedway,
there is the frenzy of ao much ex
ploding gas. Yet we have allowed
this condition to go on for months,
in what is supposed to be our quiet,
orderly business district, without
complaint.
"I like to see the joyriders get
their full limit of pleasure, but they
should go out to some country road
to make their engines sputter, and
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 i8 more, it is against the law.
"I am glad to se^ 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 t( fall into dis
use. but the general opinion is that
its revival will mean a more rigid
enforcement than ever.

Counterfeits.
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. E. Fletcher.
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 bo careful to see that
Castoria hears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher, 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 hears the fac-simile
signature of Chas. H. Fletcher, under whose 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 la certainly
full of merit and worthy of recommendation.”
a G. A. Loder, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "For 20 yean we here told
Fletcher's Castoria and are pleased to state that It has given universal
satisfaction.”
The Seholtz Drug Co., of Denver, Colo., aaye: "Fletcher’* Cattorla hat
aurely become a household word. Seemingly every family where there
are children uses It.”
Hoagland * Mansfield, of Boston, Mass., eay: "Wt hav* nothing bn\
good to say about your Castoria and we do not hesitate to give It our
unqualified endorsement.”
Riker’e Drug Stores, of New York City, say: "Fletcher's Castoria Is on«
of the oldest and most popular preparations In our store*. We have
nothing but good to say about it.”
Wolff-Wllson Drug Co., of St Louis, Mo., says: "Of the thousands of
patent medlclfies for which we have demand there are a very few of
them that we can conscientiously recommend and your Castor la 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 ,*11 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 haTe 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).
We have many calls every day for this article from people who say they
would not be without it In their homes.”
