Declares Secretary Told Hoke
Smith City Is Ideal Place for
Currency Branch.
When it comes to a “friend at
court" in the matter of designating
regional banks, Atlanta can count
with a very gratifying certainty on
no less a person than Secretary W.
G McAdoo as being favorable to the
location of one of the great Govern
ment banks here.
Robert F. Maddox, vice president of
the American National Bank, brought
, that news back from the East with
him when he returned Saturday.
"I think, on the whole, that I may
say my little excursion was a suc
cess. Mr Maddox said. “It was taken,
of course in behalf of Atlanta's hope
to be awtrded m*a of the regional
banks under the pending currency
bill.
I went pretty thoroughly into af
fairs in Washington, and I want to
say right here that our two Senators,
Smith and Bacon, have done wonders
for Atlanta in the way of creating a
sentiment favorable to locating one
of the banks here. Tf we get it, too
much credit can not be given to those
men."
Takes no Credit Himself.
As to Mr. Maddox’s own part, it
really was a pity that a third person
couldn’t have had the telling of it,
because Mr. Maddox absolutely de
clined to put in any bid for fame.
All I did was to carry on an array
• acts and figures,” said Mr. Mad-
^ ox * "in an effort to help the good
A °rk along by showing how excel
"fitly fitted Atlanta was to receive
a fid support a regional bank.”

Pretty Jessie Dunn Becomes Bride
of G. A. Domeck, Auto
mobile Racer.
When Mr. and Mrs. Thomas O.
Dunn, of No. 143 Logan street, awake
this morning believing their pretty
daughter, Mins Jessie Irene Dunn, is
safe in Birmingham with relatives
and satisfied that they have thwarted
her matrimonial aspirations. the
daughter will be speeding toward
Jacksonville as the bride of G. A.
Domeck, a noted automobile racer of
the East.
Miss Dunn left her home Saturday
afternoon presumably to go to the
Terminal Station to board a train for
Birmingham. Instead of doing this,
she met Mr. Domeck, a» per well #aid
elopement plans, and, ln company
with Mrs. H. K. Minor, a friend, has
tened to the home of the Rev. B. F.
Fraser, pastor of St. Paul Methodist
Church, No. 330 Grant street. There
the ceremony was performed.
Shortly before midnight Mr. and
Mrs. Domeck boarded a train in the
Terminal for Florida, where the
young oridegroom is to take part In
the big Daytona races.
They’ll Find Her Clothes Gone.
When the surprised parents inves
tigate in the room of the eloping girl,
they will find that all of her clothing
and belongings are gone.
Every night for the past ten nights
Mr. Domeck has visited the Dunn
home, and each night he took away a
bundle of his pretty fiance’s effects,
stbring them downtown.
Miss Dunn would place the bundle
under the front door steps, and Do
meck would get it as he left the
house.
The elopement came as the climax
to a romance of little more than two
months’ duration. Mr. Domeck first
met Miss Dunn in California, while
she was visiting there.
Five months ago he was injured
while testing his racing car on the
track at Brighton Beach, N. Y.
Meet Second Time.
A few weeks ago he started South
to recuperate, to get in condition for
the Daytona races. It chanced that
he stoped in Atlanta, and again he
met Miss Dunn. Love then asserted
itself ln the old-fashioned, undaunted
style, and for two months a steady
courtship has been on.
Because of the hazardous occupa
tion of the young wooer the parents
of the girl objected to the match.
“I’m willing to take chances on
his dangers, because he’s the only
man I ever loved, and I’m going to
keep on loving him, even If he does
risk his neck on the race track,” smil
ingly exclaimed the bride as she
boarded the train for Florida.
“I feel just like I’ll win all of the
races now,” chimed in the other happy
runaway.

motor boats who have been explor

Many farmers who sent members
of their families to places of safety,
but refused to leave their live stock
to the mercy of the rising waters,
have not been heard from for several
days.
The motor boat crews during the
night picked up more than 150 per
sons who had been marooned. Most
of them were suffering from hunger
and exposure.
Scores of persons ln a doben com
munities are still in peril, clinging to
roofs of houses and tree tops. Res
cuers were powerless to aid them, be

immense success, except in a mone

“As to the financial disappoint
ment,” said J. $1. Poole, secretary of
the Southern International Poultry
Association, “that isn’t going to break
our hearts. We expect to be here Just
as strong next year, with a standard
exhibition.”
In addition to birds, however, there
is likely to be a band next year.
“It seems Atlantans will not pat
ronize a proposition that savors of a
sporting contest—that is, not for it
self. High-class birds don't seem to
attract them as much as a band. So
we may add a band to the program.”
There was a pretty good crowd

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The
first, militant suffragist outbrean
against, an official of the Ameri.
can Government was staged to
day when Secretary of State
Bryan was challenged at the con
vention of the National Popnlar
Government League with the cry,
‘now about justice for wo
men?”
T&e Secretary had Just concluded %
fervent address on behalf of popular
rule, declaring that no government in
strong except in proportion as it rep
resents the will of all its people. A
tall, slender woman arose In a seat
near the front of the dark hall where
the meeting Is being held, and called
out, “How about women, Mr. Bryan?
Are not women people?”

Helen Todd, a former Illinois State
Factory Inspector and now head of
the California Civic League for Wom
en. Her act “floored” the Secretary
for a moment.
A dozen other women, with angTy
gestures, chimed in:

and, struggling to control his voice,
said:
"Madame, I have no doubt that in
all your work you have followed your
conscience and your judgment. In my
w'ork I have tried to follow mine.”
With that he left the platform.
Bryan left the hall by a side en
trance, while a score of suffragists
began a buzz of excited comment
which portended Ill for every speaker
