WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec, 81
There were no new developments to-
hay In the matter of new bond issue,
and the opinion now prevails that it
may be postponed for number Of days
vet. The cessation OF large withdraw
als Of gold for export, and the fact that
Pone or more orders have been placed for
gold shipments from abroad, are i'm
lportant factors in the question Of an
early issue On the other hand the al
most daily announcement from the sub
treasury from New York that cons!d-
cradle quantities are being withdrawn
in redemption of legal tenders would
seem to justify prompt action on the
part of the President. These redemp-
tions, 1t is said, are undoubtedly asked
for the purpose OF accommodating a sup
ply OF gold with which to purchase
bonds when they shall have been placed
on the market by the syndicate, and as
they now aggregate considerably more
than $1,000, 900 since the forthcoming is
sue became a settled fact, their carly
discontinuance has become matter Of
the first Importance. This can be ac-
complished, however, only through the
operations OF a syndicate, and 1t is ar
gued, therefore, that the interests ot
the government lie in a prompt an
uouncement Of the issue.
What will be the result of these con-
ficting interesrsJ not now apparent

WASHINGTON, Dec 31-The last
session of the house for the year 19aE
was u purely formal meeting lasting
but few minutes and an adjournment
was taken until Friday according to the
understanding. The prayer OF the
chaplain, Couden, was most impressive.
He asked that party contentious might
be buried, that the nation might ad-
vance with the motto "One flag, one
country, one God forever" and con-
cluded with malice toward none, with
charity for all. let our nation stand an
example to all the world with justice

Charged With Embezzlement-His Partner
Fled, but Was Captured.

Opelika, April 4.-(SpeciaL)-W r.
Doughtry of the firm of Thomas Butler 81
Co. was arrested here today on two war
rants charging him with embezzlement
The arrest has created quite sensation,
as Doughty Is one of the most popular
and prominent young men of the city,
and is known elsewhere as the composer
of the popular song, I'm Love Too
Young" His father is one of our veal
thiest citizens and is an,ex-nayor of Ope-
lika. Young Doughty is 10 years old.
Butler, the other member of the firm,
fled a week ago after running the firm
heavily in debt, hut was recaptured and
is now in Jail here. The stock of the firm
has been divided out among the creditors
Doughtry and Butler are both arrested
under two warrants for each, sworn out
by the Jesse French Piano and Organ
company of Birmingham, who claim
that Butler and Doughty have sold for
$500 in cash two pianos belonging to them
and appropriated the money. There are
many debts against the firm which can
not be settled, as the assets are all ex-
hausted. The whole business Is creating
a great deal of comment. Doughty is
out under bond.
