Following ilie announcement that Atlanta was one of the fourteen cities selected to be visited by the organi sation committee, the Atlanta bank er, were quite sure Saturday morn ing that that fact practically cinched matters so far as establishing At lanta as the reserve city of one of the great divisions was concerned. "1 slmDly don’t see how we can miss it now " said Henry Davis, i ash ler ..f the Dowry National Bank "Here's the way we look at it.

Fourteen Cities Lead. “As to ttie rate of interest. that is .vet to be established, but 1 nave no doubt that it will be lower than the scale now obtainable in New York.” A good deal of the certainty that Atlanta will be selected among the reserve cities arises from the an nouncement by the organization com mittee ,»f the iist of cities it will visit fourteen in all. of course. It is said that the claims of other cities will be considered. Hut it is the im pression here that the eight, or the banking locations will be selected from the following list: New York, Hoston, < ’hicago, St. Louis. Denver. Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, New Orleans. Atlanta, Cincinnati and (’leveland. Atlanta Has Rivals For Reserve Bank.

'WHITE' )MS FOB ?SB FROM MILLS Poor Children Are Guests of Little Folks at the First Methodist Church. To-day 250 poor children of At lanta are wondering if the “white Christmas” given to them Friday by the children bf the First Methodist Church was a dream. But then they have toys and other gifts to testif to its reality. The First Methodist children are correspondingly happy over the sue cess of their novel entertainment which was the first of its kind in At lanta. Each child was a “personal Santa” to some less fortunate little brother or sister from the mill dis trict, and they enjoyed their roles as much as their guests. The “white Christmas” is symboli cal of an ancient legend in which all the people bring white gifts to the King or Christ Child. The lecture room of the church, in which the en tertainment was given carried out the idea, being decorated in cotton, whidh gave a snowy effect. Several Christmas trees were cov ered with silver tinsel. Incandescent lights among the decorations made the scene brilliant. Tile children from the Sheltering Arms, the Atlanta Woolen Mills and the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills oc cupied chairs, w hile the Sunday school children sat on the floor. All joined in carols, after which “The Story of Christ” was read by Dr. W. W. Mem- minger, pastor of All Saints Church. The little hosts and hostesses then distributed well-filled stockings to the poor children and served them with refreshments. The "white Christmas” lasted from 3 o’clock to 5. New Buildings Ready Soon After January 1, but Leases on Broad Street Houses Continue. A dozen—maytx thirteen—produce firms are to move off South Broad street soon after the first of the year, and there is a good deal of wonder as to what sort of district that busy sec tion will develop next, after the pro duce men have taken up their new stations along Produce row, between Washington street and Central ave nue. The sixteen buildings—three sto ries, elevators, done in concrete— won’t be ready by January 1, it seems. But they will be ready as soon there after as possible, and when they are ready the produce men will have to start paying rent on their reserva tions, whether they move in or not. That rather complicates things. Some of the leases on the present stands run eight months into 1914. Some of them run longer. Some of the produce men have leases that will run two or three years. Hard to Sublet Stores. Just now they are trying to sublet the stores. “But it’s a tough job,” one produce dealer said Saturday. "These buildings are not in good shape. I don’t see what sort of business aside from ours could be carried on in them.” There is an idea, fairly prevalen*, that the owners o* the present pro duce stands will eventually put up handsome and substantial buildings and strive to make South Broad street a big retail thoroughfare, on the Whitehall street plan. But whether they will start his work before the present leases expire—that is anoth er question, and one the owners are not disposed to discuss freely. The produce men are engaged just now in trying to settle on a date when they could move in a body. Large Firms Involved. "I understand the new ‘row’ won’t be ready for occupancy before March 1,” said one dealer. “My idea is that ah the boys ought to go together; there’s no system in splitting up the territory, as would be the case if they moved a few at a time. Personally, I’d rather pay rent at the new place after it is ready and stay on hero until the bunch goes. My lease runs until next fa!L*’ The produce men involved in the prospective move are McCullough Bros., the Williams-Thompson Com pany, Bell Bros., Baisden & Co., the Gallmand-Cheves Company. the Barnes-Fain Companyf the Fidelity Fruit and Produce Company, A. Fu- gazzi, the Southern Produce Compa ny, Wigt, Davis Co., the McMillan Produce Company, Conley & Ennis, Porter Bros, and West Bros. Among the property owners are Frank Coker, Mrs. John Broomhead, the Murphy estate, John Dickey, Jr., AlVarson Bros, and the Gus Ryan es- I tate. AT CHARLESTON.

Defendants in the Alabama case are the Louisville and Nashville, South and North, Central of Georgia, and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis. The “poisoned needle” story fail,, to make any impression upon Record, er Broyles Saturday, even though r la ted with many protestations of its truthfulness by Mrs, Mattie Deaton, of Charlotte, N. C., in explanation of her queer actions on Peachtree street Friday afternoon. The Recorders only comment In imposing a $25.75 fine was that the name of the fair defendant should n >: be Deaton, but, rather, Munchausen as the relict of that famous prevari- cator. Mrs. Deaton Impressively told the court that she had arrived from Charlotte on Friday and that white she was walking through the Ter minal Station she felt a sharp stint on her arm. “I dropped my suit case to the floor," she said, “and right there at tnv side was a young man. He picked the suit case up for me, and after that I don’t know what happened, your hon or.” She might have been at Five Points Friday afternoon, as the officer's charged, where she made efforts to flirt with a number of men. Maybe it was so. She couldn’t rememba’- a thing that happened after receiving that mysterious "«ting” in the arm "Let me see your arm," demanded the Recorder. It showed no signs f the "poisoned needle.” "I guess you’ve been reading -h. sensational stories about the “needle men’ in New York," he said. Inves tigation disclosed that the woman had arrived in Atlanta not on Friday, but several weeks ago.
