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.

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.

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.’’ THE WEATHER.

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.

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." 12 Held for Trial for Death in Prize Ring LOS ANGELES, Sept. 9 Jess Willard, Tom McCarey and ten oth ers connected with the Vernon battls of August 22, In which "Bull" Young met his death, must stand trial on charges of second-degree murder anj prize lighting.
