WHITE’S SECRET LIFE
IS TO BE DISCLOSED

Private Leased Wire.
New York, June 30.—An Investiga
tion. which will result in a sweeping
Ixposure of the life of Stanford
White and his millionaire associates,
has be.n begun.
While Harry Thaw was waiting to
■ arraigned to plead not guilty to the
charge of murder In the first degree
for killing the architect, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Garvin obtained five sub-
penas In blank from Magistrate Cor
nell. In the Center street court. These
are to be used in "John Doe” proceed
ings.
Witnesses familiar with the life led
Stanford White and his friends will
railed. Names prominent In social,
business and financial circles are In
volved. It is expected that the reyc-
will shake the social structure
ot Sc v . York to )ts foundations.
All of this Is to come before the trial
of Harry Thaw.
The district attorney's ofnee already
1J.J" possession of many facts about
White and his friends. Ex-Judge Ol-
cott, Thaw's counsel, has many more.
Since he became identified with the
case he has received more than 1,000
letters bearing on the case. They con
demn White, relate his escapades In
the tenderloin, give the names of men
who participated In his wild dissipa
tion and furnish other evidences which
will be placed at the disposal of ths
district attorney.
Stanford White’s financial condition
has come In for a share of Investiga
tion. His representatives said todaj
that he had been vastly extravagant
He had overdrawn his account with
his firm, had squandered his great for
tune and had borrowed more than half
a million dollars. From one man alone,
a member of a prominent New York
family, he borrowed 1300,000.
In this connection the district attor*
ney's office will question Alfred G.
Vanderbilt and other prominent socie
ty millionaires. The fortune left Mrs.
White will consist chiefly of $300,000
life Insurance, which White kept up at
enormous expense, owing to his bad
physical condition.
CITY POLITICAL SITUATION

Along with the weather the city po
litical situation Is growing warmer day

*111 probably be enough candidates en
tered to make the results of August 22
t mere matter of speculation.
IV. It. Joyner Is so far the only can
didate who has paid the fee to enter
the race for mayor. It Is understood
that already there are #00 members of
Ms campaign committee. Thomas H.
Goodwin will be a candidate, but as
yet .Mr. Goodwin has not paid the
candidacy assessment. .
Captain R. M. Clayton and City Tax
Collector Payne have paid their fees

spectively.
The nhlermanlc race from the first

llattc nnd F. A. Hilbum In the run
ning. Is already waxing warm. In the
fifth ward H. M. Beutell and Captain
IV. IV. Draper oppose each other, and
again there Is much ardor shown.
Outside of the aldermantc races the
race for council In the first ward will
probably be the most Interesting. Al
derman J. H. Harwell and W. A
Fincher, ex-councllman, are both six
Ing up their following. The race prom
ises to be a close one.
In the second the general opinion Is
that everything will be one way. Press
Huddleston Is the most conspicuous
candidate. Captain Z. B. Moon has
lately announced his candidacy.-
In the third ward C. W. Mangum,
who was nominated at a mass meet'
last Thursday, will be opposed by

Little Rock, Ark., June 28.—Monroe
Smith, 46 years of age, and his 10-year-
old daughter, Millie, have arrived here
after a tramp of $74 miles overland,
from Folkeston, Oa, In an unsuccess
ful quest for a cousin of Smith. The
trip consumed thirteen weeks and two
days and Smith claims to have walked
the entire distance, with the excep
tion of eleven miles In one place and
the distance between Little Rock and
DeVall's Bluff, sixty miles, which was
covered on a train through the klnd-
nesa of a trainman.
Smith states that several days they
walked as much as twenty mil*., and
at times went without food for forty-
eight hours; that through the entire
trip he never begged, but subsisted
entirely on the voluntary offerings
made them. _ .. _
He states that In Folkeston. Oa,
he burled tits wife nnd six children,
and, having been crippled In a rail
road wreck so as to be unable to keep
himself and daughter, he set out to
find his coustn, Harvey Williams, whom
he supposed to be In a wholesale busl-
ws In Little Rock. .
Inquiry shows that M llllams left
Little Rock tea yOars ago and went
to Bhawnee, Okla, and Smith and his
daughter have started on to that place.

Quite a party of Atlanta people will
attend the convention of the Wltham
banks to be held at Warm Springs next
Tuesday and Wednesday. Among them
will be prominent financiers from At
lanta who are Interested In the flnen
rial Institutions organized by W. 8,
Wltham, of Atlanta.
Asa G. Candler, preeldent of the Cen
tral Bank and Truat Corporation, and
also preeldent of the Bankers' Finan
cing Company, will preside over the
convention, which will be attended by
the officials of the eeventy-five Wit*
ham banks located In all parts of Oeor
gla and some points In Florida. Be.
sides tbe many questions relative to
banking methods to be discussed, an
address will be delivered by Hon. J.
Gunby Jordan, of Columbus, and Hon.
John Temple Graves, of Atlanta
The Wltham banks represent over
fifty millions of dollars of money In
Georgia and their combined strength
makes one of the strongest financial
organisations In the country.
The Wltham banks have been plan
ned on two principles; a depositors’ In
surance, guaranteeing against loss to
the depositors, dnd on a development of
tpe country boy.
Mr. Wltham believes In the raw ma
terial to be found In the young men
of the rural districts and prefers these
In his banks to many other classes of
employees. He has taken a large num
ber of Georgia boys and developed
them Into able bankers through hie
methods and they are now enjoying lu
crative positions with the Wltham
bank organisation.
Through the safeguard which all of
these, banks obtain In the depositors'
Insurance they have the strongest con
fidence of patroits. Until the time Mr.
Wltham put Into effect the depositors’
Insurance plan In hls banks In Georgia,
it bad been regarded as a theory, but
hie practical demonstration baa proven
H absolutely practical and one of the
greatest safeguards against loss on the
part of the depositors.
At tbe convention to be held next
week new methods and Ideas will be
discussed for the farther development
of title splendid organisation, and while
one of lbs purposes and advantages of
the convention Is recreation an*! en
