TO HELP MOVE THE COTTON.
Two Savannah Bankers Call on the
Secretary of the Treasury.

Washington, Aug. 1.-two prominent
bank officers of Savannah, Mr.. B. A.
Denmark and Capt. John Flannery, ar
rived in the city yesterday, and to-day
were in consultation with the Secretary
of the Treasury and Controller of the Cur
rency Eckels.
They come as the representatives of
the banks of Savannah and the clearing
house association of that city The OBJ
iect of their visit is to secure some means
of tiding over the financial stringency in
the moving of the cotton crop and to this
end they are endeavoring to arrange for
an issue of certificates of deposit by the
clearing house of that city, which can be
accepted by the banks in settlement of
daily balances in the clearing house.
1t is the purpose of the bankers it
seems, to place these certificates with
their reserve fund from which they can
then take an amount equivalent to the
certificate deposited and use it in their
daily business. The banks to whom these
certificates are issued would of course
have to protect them by depositing col
lateral security.
What the result of the talk of these
gentlemen with Secretary Carlisle was is
not known, but it is reported that that
official expressed an unfavorable opinion
of the plan. 1t is said, however, that he
made some valuable suggestions to his
callers that will be of advantage to the
banks of Savannah and elsewhere. They
were accompanied to the treasury de-
partment by Congressman Lester, by
whom they were introduced to the treas
ury officials. Very general are the com
plants from the south about the scarcity
of money and an apprehension is abroad
that the price of cotton may be seriously
affected by the lack of funds to buy it.

relatives and friends Of deceased who were in
attendance during their late illness.
WAITE DID NOT DIE OF YELLOW FEVER.
There is nothing in the clinical history or
autopsy of the Rev. Mr.. Waite to justify dag
nosls Of yellow fever. On the contrary, he
seemed to have died from acute enteritiS,
with marked abdominal symptoms.
ELLEN WOOD YELLOW FEVER SUSPECT.
In the case Of the child, Ellen Wood the
opinion Is given that while the record of the
case, cllnically, and from the autopsy, does
not give clear history of yellow fever vet il
contains sunictent evidence to justify the
statement that the case was suspicious and
demands precautionary surveillance and dis
Infection of the dwelling and its contents, to-

furniture is being packed and will be

thoroughly fumigated. This is the fifth
day since little Ellen Wood died, and no

done is to wait patiently for the utmost
period of incubation to expire.
Surgeon Murray will arrive tomorrow.

Roby, Ind, Aug. 14.-The Creedon-
Greggains contest at Roby drew fully

southeast corner.
THE BATTLE BEGINS.
At 1920 the men shook hands and be-
gan to battle.

don's neck, but was stopped. Creedon

got away. Creedon got a hot one in the
neck, slipped down on one knee. Greg
gains got in two face blows that counted,
and the round ended in his favor.
In the second Epund the men advanced
quickly to the center and spared eau
tiously. Creedon tried his rushing tactics,
but was met with stinger in the face,
followed by numerous others. 1t was give
and take, with honors easy. Creedon
landed freely toward the end of the round
and it ended in his favor.
Rounds 3, A, 5,6, z, s, 8, 10, and II, IL,

this fact is being used against him

No. Legal Obstacle to
the Passage of the
Ordinance
Now Pending in the City
Council on the Sub
ject,
Opinions Of Interest on the Pend
ing Bit Of LeglSIa-
tiOn.

Considerable interest centers in the
ordinance pending in the City Coun-
Gil providing for new gas company
in which the municipality is to be
given an interest. The question of
the right of the city to take stock in
the company is denied by those OPP
posed to the scheme. Corporation
Counsel kraus' opinion is cited
against such ownership. 1t is as
serted that the city could not assume
the financial liability that the owner
snip OF stock in a corporation pre-
sumes. John s. Cooper who drew
the ordinance, thinks there are no
legal obstacles to the ownership by
the city Of gas company stock? He
argues that a one-third interest will
enable the city to prevent sale of
the franchise to a trust and will en-
able the city to control the manage
ment of the company.
"Under our State law and the de-
csions OF the Supreme Court" said
Mr.. Cooper the other day, "the City
and County Gas Company can never
transfer its franchise or enter into
any combination with any other gas
company so long as the city of Chi
cago shall hold the stock proposed to
be paid to it for the franchise. As
long as a single shareholder shall OBJ
ject to any proposed action Of the
corporation, the effect Of which would
be to deprive the corporation Of the
power to act separately and inde-
pendently and in the sole interest Of
its stockholders, no combination or
transfer or other manipulation of the
company could take place, That IA
not only true in law but it was
found TO be true in fact by the peo-
pie who formed the Gas Trust in
Chicago. AS is well known, in that
case the trust managers were com
PEELED, in order TO secure the few re-
naming shares, to pay prices as high
as ten times the value placed on ii
by any other holder. So this city,
with its one.third, can prevent a
sell-out to the trust as well as il il
owned two-thirds."
But it is objected that in the mat.
ter of controlling the general policy
Of the company such as fixing the
price Of gas quality and the like
the city owning only one.third 0.
the stock, would be overruled and
practically would have no voice.
"This f, not true. II the city o0

success Of the entire ticket. He was
followed by John Barton Payne, who
received hearty greeting. Mr.. Payne
said that he was not there to discuss
politics. Those present were fully
posted on that subject but he urged
the Democrats to make an earnest,
aggressive and vigorous campaign.
Austin O. Sexton was the recipient
of great outburst of applause when
he was introduced He made a short
but stirring speech, in which he de-
clared that the battle was already
won. All the Democrats had to do
was to bring out the voters, and the
result was only question of major
ity His own ward-the Twenty
tfth-was fully organized, and would
make good showing.
Ward Presidents Had Met.
Chairman McGillen announced
that there had been a meeting Of
ward presidents with the executive
committee during the afternoon, and
that cheering reports of harmony
and thorough organization all along
the line had been received. Some of
the ward presidents had not ap-
peared. however, and the Chairman
called upon the committeeman from
the missing wards to report the local
conditions. The wards net heard
from during the afternoon were the
Seventh, Eighth, Fifteenth, Twenty
seventh. Twenty-eighth, Thirty-sec-
ond, Thirty-third, and Thirty-fourth.
The COmmitteemen from these wards
reported everything in good working
order, and meetings would be held
in all Of them Friday night Jack
| Brown. the retiring committeeman
from the Thirty. fourth Ward, was
/ inclined to be tacetious and said
/ that it would be necessary to manu-
facture a few hundred votes with the
pencil. His colleague, Mr.. Corkery,
said that the ward club was in ex-
cellent shape and that meeting
would be held Friday night. He was
corroborated by several gentlemen
from the ward, and Mr.. Brown re-
lapsed into silence.
Frank Peabody reported that the
country towns were well organized
and would make a good showing.
