MISS GOODRICH WEDS
J, T. CHASE SECRETLY
KISSING CHARGE A PLOT, SAYS POLICEMAN
MRS. JULIAN T. CHASE.
Family Rally to Defense of Capt.
J. W, Norman, Suspended in
Park Flirting Case.
With hig wife and daughter stand
ing loyally by his side, Captain J. VV.
Norman, the police officer whose sus
pension from the department Mon
day after SO 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 seve'ral 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"Vould pass be
tween us and sometimes I played with
her children.
Woman Also Denies Charge.
"There was nothing extraordinary
in my actions toward this lady at any
time. I treated her as I did all of
those residing in the vicinity of the
park who came 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 Us
foundation. I am ready to answer
the charges before the board to-night,
and do not doubt that I will be
acquitted.)’
Captain Norman's statement was
substantiated 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
to Atlanta two years ago,” she said.
"It was my custom to take the chil
dren—x have two—into the park each
day, and they soon became acquainted
with the captain. After a short time
they began to hail him whenever they
saw him, and in this way I also be
gan speaking to him.
Husband Present Sometimes.
“At times my husband was with
me, and we would all exchange a
few words. He tok us through the
zoo and showed us the common
courtesies which one would expect
from a police officer.
"Our acquaintance, however, never
became intimate in any sense of the
word. I don't remember ever talk
ing with him for a period of more
than two or three minutes, and our
conversation was only on convention
al topics.
"I had frequently seen Captain Nor
man speak to other women in the
park, sometimes to groups of them. I
never saw him address one in an im
proper way, though, and never had
cause to be offended by him.
"These charges, in my opinion, were
trumped by a lot of park loafers
whom Captain Norman has driven
from the grounds t‘me and again.
That is the only manner in which
they could have originated, that I
know of. My husband thinks the
same as I do.”
Wife Believes in Captain.
Mrs. Norman jsserted her confi
dence in her husband and prophesied
that an investigation of the accusa
tions would prove them unfounded
and a tissue of falsehoods. Miss Eva
Norman, the daughter, declared that
her father would not be guilty of such
conduct.
S. A. Green and J. Louis Whitley,
policemen, and three citizens are said
to have witnessed the alleged actions
of Norman. They will appear at the
meeting of the Board of Police Com
missioners Tuesday night to testify
against the captain.

Promoter Expected to Revive Old
Divorce Charges to Secure
Child From Ex-Wife.
J. E. Barlow, millionaire promoter
and the central figure in a dozen
deals that have astounded financiers
by their boldness, will pause in At
lanta Wednesday on his way from
Cuba to New York to take up the
fight for the custody of his daughter,
Madeline, 8 years old, who is living
with her mother, Barlow's divorced
wife, at No. 219 West Peachtree
street.
Barlow is known as a fighting man
and he has given his word that he
will have possession of his daughter.
He does not propose to relinqulsn
the legal battle until custody is re
stored to him by the court which once
before awarded him possession. r,
He is going to New York to swing
a big railroad deal, but this can wait,
he declares, if he finds it necessary
to stay in Atlanta to contest the ac
tion of his former wife, Mrs. Edith P.
Barlow, who has become a profes
sional masseuse in Atlanta since her
separation from him.
Climax Expected in Suit.
The pretty little girl has been the
cause of a number of sensational in
cidents, not the least • exciting uf
which was an alleged attempt on the
part of the mother to spirit her o?it
of a hotel a£ Lumpkin, Ga., and catch
a 3 o’clock morning train out of town.
The fight, which has been waged
with varying fortunes, promises to
have Its climax when the present lit
igation comes to an issue.
Barlow' made charges of immorali
ty against his wife when he obtained
his divorce from her in 1C 11. These
may be revived and form an impor
tant part of the proceedings when a
decision Is being reached as to who
is the more fit to have the care and
training of the youn~ child.
Barlow's career, which' finds him
negotiating big business deals one
day and fighting for the custody of
his little girl the next, reads like a
romance. He has risen like a meteor
in the heavens of finance and he has
fallen even more suddenly. His fall,
however, apnears to have been the
rsult of unfortunate and unavoidable
circumstances rather than of poo •
business judgment.
Fought Way to the Top.
As a youth he had few educational
advantages. He simply fought hi3
way upward. He was a Stewart
County (Ga.) boy. .* few year-4
ago he went to Florida. It was not
long before he was worth thousands
of dollars and was the owner of a
great acreage of orange groves. Just
as he was about to reap the results
of his investment misfortune sent an
Icy blast on his orange trees and he
was made a pauper almost in a singla
night.
Being a fighter, he was not discour
aged. He went to Cuba. Sensing the
inflation of values thal would follow
the Spanlsh-Ameriean War, he ob
tained options on large tracts of land
about Havana. The sale of these has
made him rich again. Now he Is
rated at several times a millionaire
He has the confidence of financiers
In New York, Paris, Berlin and all
the large financial centers. He es
says deals that would appall men
of less courage and boldness.
Just now he is promoting the con
duction of a railro. in Cuba. It is
e purpose ^>f his visit to New York
0 interest men of money in the prop
osition. He had thought he might go
on to Paris, but the tangle of litiga
tion which has arisen over his child
may prevent this.
Barlow’ has been three times mar
ried. His first wife died. His sec-

Credits Extension, Currency Bonds
Retirement and Aid for U. S.
Bankers Abroad Features.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 9.—The
Glass curency 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 which 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 possesses 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 there for 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, areport 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 surrupt partisan purposes.
The majority report predicts that
tfie tw’elve Federal reserve banks
provided for by the bill will have
joint resources of about $550,00,000
with w'hich 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 resou/ces 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 Stat£
banks wquld 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 banks
can be accomplished, according to the
Democratic members of the commit
tee, without embarrassing any finan
cial interests, but on the contrary w ill
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.”
The circulation privilege, the report
declares, is worth at least 1 per cent,
and “the banks get no undue consid
eration from the Government.’’

McAdoo Offends
Senatorial Dignity
WASHINGTON. Sent. 9.—The Sen

HE IS DEAD
Detectives Find No Trace of the
Famous olitician, Who Disap
peared One Week Ago.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.—It became
known to-day that "Big Tim’’ Sulli
van. former powerful East Side po*i-
tician, who has been ill for a year of
a mental defection, has been missing
for a week from the home of his
brother in Kinfcsbridge, and that pri
vate detectives, who have been
searching for him, have about given
up hope of finding him alive.
Sullivan’s physical condition had
improved of late, but his mind had
not. He was continually under the
delusion that he was being perse
cuted by his friends.
Last Tuesday morning Sullivan
managed to elude his three guards.
Although practically all ob Mr.
Sullivan’s friends expressed the ut
most anxiety, among the few who
did not was William B. Ellison, coun
sel for the missing man.
“About ten days ago Mr. Sullivan
came to my office to consult me and
his mind was lcear in every detail,’’
said Mr. Ellison. “In fact, he was
normal, I thought. ,He brought a
$2,000 check he had received from a
theatrical enterprise in which he is
interested and we talked for some
time over business matters. Mr.
Sullivan also talked over the political
situation. I knew tha he had dis
appeared but I did not worry, for my
own opinion was, and is, that he has
gone West or to Canada, where his
theatrical concern has large Inter
ests.”
Mr. Ellison said that if it wfis true
that the missing man has suffered
from suicidal mania he (Ellison)
never heard of it,
TELLS OF
Texas Governor's Report of Mas
sacre and Pillage Across the
Border to Go to Senat,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—Senator
Penrose, It was learned to-day, will
charge on the floor of the Senate that
more than 3,000 Americans have been
killed In Mexico since the present
"reign of terror" began. The Senator
will cite as his authority Governor
Colquitt of Texas.
Governor Colquitt's amazing
charges as to what has occurred In
Mexico are in the hands of several
Senators and members of the House.
He says:
"With scores of American women
mistreated and 1,000 American citi
zens murdered; with pillage, black
mail and ransom on every hand in
defiance of American citizenship, the
situation in Mexico is beyond endur
ance.
"If Huerta tells President Wilson
to play his next card it means he
will have to invade Mexico or stultify
himself or hig State Department.
President Wilson will have to fight
or make a Joke of his State Depart^
ment and a rag of his nation’s honor.
, "When I say scores of American
women have been ill-treated by Mex
icans, I speak the truth absolutely.
I personally know of such instances
In which the victims were acquaint
ances of mine or my personal friends.
"Texas has 900 miles of border on
the Mexican frontier. It has been
my business to protect Texas citizens
from Mexican outrages, and I have
done so*with a Arm hand. 1 got more
satisfaction from President Taft than
I do from President Wilson.
"The handling of the Mexican situ
ation is a farce. Texas will take care
of her own citizens at all hazards,
and the United States can do as it
pleases. But let the Mexicans keep
their hands oft our citizens and our
women."

Wilson Nearly Run
Down by Trolley
WASHINGTON. Sept. 9.—Had it
not been for a policeman, President
Wilson might have been run over by
a street car.
Unmindful of the traffic regulation,
which forbids pedestrians crossing
the streets except at crossings, he
started diagonally across. The police
man jumped in front of the car with
both hands upraised. It stopped with
