MONETARY CONFERENCE OFF
BRITAIN REFUSES TO TAKE FART
IN NEGOTIATIONS.
SALISBURY MAKES FINAL REPLY.
SAYS India's Mints Cannot BE Reopened.
Bimetallism Is Thus Turned Down
and silver IL sidetracked.

A London cable dispatch says: Lord
Salisbury, Wednesday night, sent to
Ambassador Hay the reply Of the Brit
ish government to the proposals OF the
American bimetallist special commits
sion, headed by Senator Wolcott.
II is q automatically worded note.
His lordship says that the govern
ment of Great Britain is not able to
reopen the India minis at present.
He regrets the inability TO accede to
the proposals of the American COM
missioners. Great Britain having as
great an interest as the United States
and France in securing stable par
exchange for gold and silver and an
enlarged use of silver.
In these circumstances, continues
Lord Salisbury, the British govern
ment does not see the desirability OF
an international monetary conference,
but will be pleased to consider any
other practical suggestions from the
United States.
Lord Salisbury incloses with the
note copy Of the statement OF Sir j.
Westland, head of the financial de-
partment of India, which was under
discussion at the meeting Of the cabi-
net council last Saturday which takes
strong grounds against the reopening
OF the India mints.
Ambassador Andrew White came
from Berlin last Saturday. He has
avoided publicity, but has had several
conferences with Senator Wolcott-
In the course OF On interview with
the correspondent Of the Associated

Three new cases d over were an
nounced ct Montgodk, Ala, Tues
day, and the stamped om the city is
astonishing in its mal tude.
Every available yel is constantly
employed hauling pe@ % 10 the trains

cannot leave, and who could, IL
they wanted to, decli TO go.
There is little dot but that the
disease has prevailed the city for a
month or more durit1 weather favor
able to its spreadi Probably as
many az fifty people lave been sick
with tho same sort dsymptoms, and
only one death, so I'd can be even in
directly traced TO Il disease. Most
of the other cases had recovered after
II weeks illness.
The local courts Q adjourned for
the month on account bf the fever ex-
element.
The sixth week u the fever at
Mobile began with fS cases Tuesday,
no deaths and eleveIf discoveries.
There was neitheraOpe nor encour-
agement in the fevsr5ituation at New
Orleans Tuesday. e deaths did not
run up to an unusulz mark, but there
were enough Of new bases and fatal
ties to disappoint " Sc who were in
clined TO believe thu the fever was on
the wane.
AS early as 7 ocl Sk Tuesday morn
ing there were 1rty-three cases.
There have never heretofore been
more than forty. be cases. Cases
are being reporte, from all sections
Of the city.
There has been in the city up &c
date over nine lundred cases. %
these, more than ahundred have died
The record is bad s1ough as it stands
But IL is quite possible that cases are
being hidden. and as q matter of fac
il they were reported the death rate
would be less thar Il is now.
The board of health officially re
ported Tuesday: ceases Of yellow

had found the allegations in the bill
to be groundless. He then dismissed

Owing to the fact that ID is one Of
the German servant girls duties to
shine shoes, and that the porters at
tend to it at the hotels, there are few
bootblacks in Berlin. In fact, there
are but six-one at each of the leading
depots. Their trade, of course, comes
from arriving travellers. 1t is curious
to sec among the patrons Of these
bootblacks who ply their vocation in
the open more women than men.

Fato OF LuetRert, Charged Win WHO
Murder, Hangs In Balance.
A Chicago special says: The fate OF
Adolph l.. Luetgert, accused Of muir
dering his wife and dissolving her
body in vat filled with csustic pot
ash, was placed in the hands OF the
Jury Monday afternoon.
Judge Tuthill finished his charge TO
the jury at 4:45 p. m, and five min
utes later the jury fled out and were
locked in the jury room.
The twelve men spent the night
without reaching Oh agreement. Tues
day was passed with no result, and at
nine o'clock Tuesday night the jury
had gone to bed on cots, placed in the
courtroom, and it was announced by
Judge Tuthill that, even though by
one chance in q million the jurors
should wake up on the morrow and
agree upon O verdict there would be
no announcement and the court room
would, under no circumstances, be
opened until 10 o'clock Wednesday

Their Investments In Looted Southern
Mutual May Come To Naught.
Stockholders Of the Southern Mutual
Building and Loan association, which
failed in Atlanta last February, have
received the report of the receivers,
James A.Anderson and M. H. O'Byrne,
showing the condition of that concern.
and the report makes it clear that
stockholders will not receive more
than rs per cent OF the amount paid
in.
The general report Of Accountant B.
F. Moore, attached to the letter of the
receivers, shows assets Of 1851, 1852. %
and liabilities Of 1919, 2OS.66, leaving
q deficit Of 1927, 946.13. The real de-
felt will be much larger than this be-
cause most of the items in the list OF
assets are worth considerably less than
their face value.

In calling to order the Farmers
Congress at st. Paul, Mimi, President
B. F. Clayton made the statement that
the agricultural interests Of the coun-
try were sorely in need OF vigorous
legislation, and that more Of our ma
tional lawmakers should come from
the rural districts. As the warrant
for this statement President Clayton
declared that the farming element OF
the country embraced over 10000, 900
people, or more than one-third Of our
national population; but that in spite
of this fact, the agricultural interests
of the country were represented by
only thirty-fve members out of total
Of 444 in the National House Of Rep
resentatives, and by only one in the
Senate. "Of course" adds the At
lanta Constitution, "this statement is
somewhat exaggerated. While there
may be only thirty.five members of
the lower branch of Congress who
style themselves farmers there are
many others who are closely in touch
with the agricultural interests of the
country, and who have the welfare Of
the American farmer at heart. Still
in view of the enormous percentage of
our population embraced within the
farming elements; and in view of the
relations which this element sustains
to the country at large, there cea be
no denial Of the fact that the rural
districts should be more largely repre-
scented on the floors Of Congress.

BOHANNON ROBBERS FOILED.
Gang Made Almost Successful Attempt at
Jail Breaking.

Gang Made Almost Successful Attempt at
Jail Breaking.
Bohannon and his accomplices were
caught Wednesday night in an attempt
TO break Jail at Dalton, Ga. They had
obtained small steel saw and had cut
seven bars in two. They had three
more to cut to get to the brick wall.
An hours work would have let them
out of the cage. They did most of their
work during the day while it was rain
ing hard.
At night the prisoners in the cage
appeared to be very jolly and sang for
an hour. The singing, which was to
drown the noise Of the saw, aroused
suspicion and they were detected at
work.
There are twelve in .Bohannon's
cage. All the car robbers are there
except Zimmerman and Morris, who
are in another cell.

the inadequacy Of the state quarantine
the towns of Jacksonville, Auburn and
Tuskegee, for which places very

tines.
Selma, however, has the most de-
termined quarantine of oil. Every

The Grand Camp of Virginia Con.
federate Veterans met in Richmond

"Resolved, That only such histo-
ries as fairly present the principles
and facts upon which is grounded
our American republic be used. In
this spirit we would recommend
as Virginia histories, those by Mrs.
Mary Tucker McGill and General
d. II. Maury, and as histories OF the
United States, those Of Mrs. Susan
Pendleton Lee, Rev. J. William Jones,
Shinn, Hanssl series and Holmes.
Further. we would suggest for its
moral and patriotic influence as aux.
iliary reading the admirable life OF
General Robert E. Lee, by Mrs. Mary
Williamson-in our opinion it might
be adopted-such is its clearness and
verbal simplicity, as current reader.
"We desire, also, to express our all
miration Of the recent utterance OF the
grand commander of the Confederate
veterans Of Virginia, Col. John Gus
sons, in his trenchant arraignment OF
