Mr, Osborne Also Didn’t Do Mr.
Hightower a Favor by Wedding
His Mother-in-Law,
Alleging that her husband had ob-
tained money from a local depart
ment store in settlement of a suit
over an accident that left her par
alyzed, and used it to marry again
and take the second woman on a
honeymoon trip through the f Wes*.
Mrs. E. L. Osborne No. 1 appear.
in Police Court Tuesday morninq
against E, L. Osborne, of No. 21ti
Central avenue, whom she charges
with bigamy.
According to the first Mrs. Osborn**,
she was injured in an elevator acci
dent about two years ago and has
since been paralyzed. A few months
ago her husband settled the suit for
several hundred dollars. H© used
some of the money to send her on a
visit to relatives at Columbus, Ga.
Soon after she left, she says, he mar
ried Mrs. M. E. Kid well, of No. 107
Avon avenue, and took her on a.long
trip through the West.
The first Mrs. Osborne returned to
Atlanta Monday, and learning that
her husband had married again dur
ing her absence, had him arrested.
Osborne was bound over until
Wednesday under $2,000 bond. The
second Mrs. Osborne remarked as she
was leaving the courtroom that she
would not appear in court again. She
was placed under $100 bond.
Soon after the case w^s tried a man
giving his name as Hightower called
the police station and asked what had
been done with Osborne On being
told that he was bound over under
$2,000 bond, he said:
“I guess that will hold him for a
while. That man married my moth
er-in-law, and I thought he had done
something for me, but it looks now
like he hasn’t.”

Family Rallies to J. W, Norman’s
Defense, and Woman Involved
Denies Flirtation.
With his wife and daughter stand
ing loyally by his side, Captain J. W.
Norman, the police officer whose sus
pension from the department Mon
day after 30 years’ service resulted
from the charge of two patrolmen.
Green and Whitney, that they had
seen him hugging and kissing a pret
ty woman while on duty in Grant
Park Tuesday, made emphatic denial
of the accusations.
The husband of the woman in the
case believes his wife and the police
officer Innocent, and the woman ridi
culed the stories as absurd.
Captain Norman admitted that he
was acquainted with the woman, but
declared “'that their acquaintance had
never extended beyond conventional
bounds.
“For several years the lady has
been coming to the park with her two
children,” said the police officer. “Fol
lowing my custom of being friendly
to those who frequent the park, I
spoke to her. Occasionally a few
words of conversation would pass be
tween us and sometimes I played wlr.n
her children.
Woman Also Denies Charge.
“There war- nothing extraordinary
in my actions tow ru this lady at any
time. I treated her as I did all of
those residing in the vicinity of the
park who cam© there for a daily air
ing.
“The assertion that I hugged her or
kissed her is absolutely false, and I
can conceive of no reason for Its
foundation. I am ready to answer
the charges before tn« board to-night,
and do not doubt that I will be
acquitted.” .
Captain Norman’s statement was
substrata dated by the woman involv
ed when she was interviewed Tues
day. She said:
“My husband and I have known
Captain Norman ever since we came

Credits Extension, Currency Bonds
Retirement and Aid for U. S.
Bankers Abroad Features.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 9.—The
Glass currency reform bill was for
mally reported to the House to-day.
Chairman Glass presenting a report
signed by all the Democratic mem
bers of the House Banking and Cur
rency Committee. In w r h!ch It was
claimed that the fundamental fea
tures of the bill are:
Creation of a point mechanism
for the extension of credit to
banks which possess sound as
sets and which desire to liquidate
them to meet legitimate indus
trial, commercial and agricul
tural demands.
Ultimate retirement of the
present bond-secured currency
with the substitution therefor of
a more flexible medium of ex
change.
Provision for the extension of
American banking facilities for
foreign countries.
Coincident with the presentation
of this report, a report was presented
on behalf of the Republican members
of the committee condemning three
of the leading features of the bill.
The minority members claimed
that the powers conferred by the bill
upon the Federal reserve board were
too great and there was extreme
danger that the board would be used
for corrupt partisan purposes
The majority report predicts tnat
the twelve Federal reserve banks
provided for by the bill will have
joint resources of about $550,000,000
with which to begin business. Of
this amount compulsory subscrip
tions of stock from the capital stock
of over 7,000 national banks will be
$100,000,000. Transfer of Govern
ment deposits in Federal depositories
to the Federal reserve banks, it is
estimated, will be $130,000,000.
$300,000,000 Federal Reserve Fund.
From this statement it is deduced
that the Federal reserve banks will
start business with cash resources of
about $300,000,000. The remaining
$250,000,000 would be made up of re
serves which under the terms of the
bill would be transferred to the vaults
of the reserve banks. The majority
members admit that “it can not be
predicted confidently how many State
banks would apply for or be granted
admission to the new system.’’
The majority report discusses the
inadequacy of the present disposition
of the bank reserves to provide liquid
resources for the business of the
country and declares the only way of
solving the problem Is by placing the
reserves In duly qualified institutions
which shall ask the primary in in
terest.
The transfer of reserves from the
banks to the Federal reserve bank*
oan be accomplished, according to the
Democratic members of the commit
tee, without embarrassing any finan
cial Interests, but on the contrary will
have the beneficial effect of permit
ting the banks to develop longer lines
of useful credit.
The provision in the bill providing
for the retirement of the Government
2 per cent bonds, which have the cir
culation privilege, and exchanging for
3 per cent bonds, without the circu
lation privilege, is declared to be “an
excellent business policy for the Gov
ernment.”
Bonds Cost U. 8. $7,500,000.
The circulation privilege, the report
declares, is worth at least I per cent,
and “the banks get no undue consid
eration from the Government.”
The cost to the Government of the
conversion of these bonds will be
$7,500,000, or about 1 per cent of the
value of all the bonds concerned. The
report asserts that the “compulsion”
features of the bill, that is, the fea
tures requiring national banks to sub
scribe to the stock of the reserve
banks, is not unfair to the banks.

1 DEAD IN SUPPER ROW.
AUGUSTA. Sept. 9.—One negro
was killed and several injured at a
hot supper held at Blythe, Ga.. near
the line of Burke and Richmond
Countie*, Saturday night
A stylishly dressed young man. who
gave his name as Dr. M. L. Harrison
when arrested by Atlanta detectives
in the lobby of a !ocal hotel, was sent
back to Columbus. Ga., Tuesday,
where there are some highly enraged
individuals who claim they cashed bo
gus checks for him before he left there
Saturday.
The young man, according to the
stories from Columbus, came there n
few days ago and made an immediate
impression by his modish clothes and
polished manners. He came presum
ably to see a well-known young so
ciety woman of the city and through
her he met a number of the prominent
people of the city, among them sev
eral physicians.
Being of a prepossessing appear
ance, he easily made friends, and as
the acquaintance between himself and
his newly formed friends ripened, he
became confidential with *them and
informed them that he was going to
wed the young lady whom he was
visiting. Friday the young woman
came to Atlanta to visit friends.
“Doctor’ Harrison thereupon in
formed some of his new-found
friends, it is said, that he carelessly
had allowed himself to run short on
funds and asked them if they would
not cash some small checks for him.
Being of an accommodating nature,
four of his newly-made friends were
eager to oblige him and indorsed the
checks, which were on the Bank of
Tampa and the First National Bank
of St. Petersburg. It was then that
Dr. Harrison informed his friends
that he was going to Atlanta to see
the object of his affections, and on
Saturday afternoon he came to At-
lanta.
The checks, which amounted »o
$125, began to come back Monday
with the announcement, “No funds.
Such a man not known.” Those who
had been duped proceeded to get
busy and had warrants Issued. The
Atlanta police were notified and late
Monday afternoon Dr. Harrison was
arrested.
