 Sort at Home

Scott Chestnut and Ed Ellis of At lanta are in the Montgomery city pris- on. If repeated assertions of The At lanta Constitution are to be believed Scott Chestnut and Ed Ellis of At lanta have no more business in the city prison of Montgomery than they have to be in the interior of a saul sage can.
 Scott Chestnut and Ed Ellis are all legged to have been gamblers while in Atlanta. notwithstanding The Atlanta Constitution has averred that there have been no professional knights of the chip and the dice within the bounds of the Gate City these twen y years or more
 The editorial columns of The Adver- User have intimated that the festive click of the ivory disks and the rowdy rattle of the baneful bones are about as familiar to Atlan.ians as they are to citizens of Montgomery and The AL tanta Constitution has scoffed at the mere suggestion.
 And yet in the Montgomery city prison are Scott Chestnut and Ed FL lis. whom Police Chief Ball of Atlanta, who Is In Montgomery. declares. earn their living over a green cloth. And this In Atlanta!
 Chiet Ball refuses to discuss the con- tOltlph ol HIS nome newspapers,
 Chief Ball even intlmates that there are more of the alleged stripe of Scott Chestnut and Ed Ellis In Atlanta.
 These men are gamblers" said the Atlanta Chief. They are a class of gamblers that 1t is best to keep out cf society They fleece the weak minded and inexperienced and we don't need their kind in Atlanta outside of the At lanta prison"

LOWE IS DISCHARGED
ACCUSED or EMBEzZLEMENT, RE-
 LEASED ON HABEAs CORPUS.
Pensacela sheriG was Present in Court Bat Lawyers Contended that Re- auisition from Florida Was
 Defective.

David F. Lowe, charged with em- ,bezzling $400 from C. Holloway. a cot ton merchant of Pensacola, was yester- day released on a writ of habeas cor pus by Judge William H. Thomas. pre- siding over the criminal division of the City Court of Montgomery.
 It will be remembered that Wednes- day night Lowe was arrested by Dep- uty Sheriff s. s. Belser on a requisi- tion granted by Governor Cunningham to the Governor of Florida.
 Sheriff Van Pelt of Pensacola was in Montgomery and intended to take his prisoner to Florida Wednesday night. Before this move was made, however counsel for Lowe secured a writ of habeas corpus to prevent Sheriff Van Pelt taking his prisoner to. Pensacola on the ground that the criminal charge there was made merely to se- cure the collection of a civil debt. Lowe was released on bond.
 Sheriff Van Pelt returned to Mont- eomery yesterday. bringing with him c. Holloway. the broker. by whom the charges were preferred. to identify Lowe.
 The case was heard yesterday morn- ing at 10 o'clock and a large number of spectators were Tn attendance.
 The attorneys for the petitioner con- tended that the petitioner was illegal ly held on the ground that the papers as sent to the Governor of Alabama by the Governor of Florida. were defective in that a copy of the warrant was not contained in the paperS.
 After technical argument, lasting several hours. Judge Thomas decided that the point of the petitioner was we'll taken. The prayer was granted and Lowe was discharged from cus- tody.
 Counsel for the State announced an appeal to the Supreme Court, but the appeal was later withdrawn.
 The money which Lowe was alleged fo have embedded. he says consisted Of debts contracted through d failure In business in Pensacola. After his Failure In March he remained in Pen- sacola until May. and has been public ly in business in Montgomery since that time.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
EXPANSION IN FALL
 BUSINESS IS NOTED.
Industrial situation is Still Unsettled and the General Tone of In dustrinl Affairs Is that
 of Irritation.

New York Sept. 2.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: Further expansion In fall trade Is noted at leading cen ters and the last week in August has seen the largest business done since the opening of the season.
 Crops have made fair progress Collection have been nothing to boast of. backward in fact. Failures were more numerous in August than in July in nearly all sections and a few large suspensions of manufacturing con cerns have swelled liabilities beyond those in August a year ago. Recent ly preceding conditions are maintained in railway earnings which show slight gains over last year.
 The industrial outlook is still an un- settled one. Efforts to revive the dy- ing meat strike by extending it to in dependent houes have caused some ir- regularity and uncertainty inthe market for live stock and for meats General price reductions of live animals are unfavorable. The industrial outlook at New York also Is unsettled by req son of the drifting apart of employers and employees in the building trades and the prospects of strike of motor men in the new subway. Some more assumptions of industrial operations are noted in different sections. The general tone or laDOr dHalrS Is one or irritation.
 Dispatches to Bradstreets indicate enlarged sales of dry goods. clothing and shoes. the best business so far this season in fact being transacted al Chi Cago. Sales of leather are also larg- CT at advances and coal is in better inquiry at leading western markets, At the south wholesale trade is in- creasing at Ccnters like Memphis. At lanta, Savannah and Little Rock. On the Pacific coast distributive trade is still slow to improve.

TO REFORM CURRENCY.
National Monetary Commission in
Mexico Is at Work

Mexico City, Jan. IA plan for reform
ing the currency has been prepared by the
nth subcommittee of the national mon
etary commission. The commission advis-
ed that in order to obtain stability or fix
ity of international exchange the govern
ment should be advised by a monetary
commission to adopt monetary system
based on the gold standard. The commit
tee does not recommend the immediate
adoption of the gold standard, but rather
creating a system very similar to that
which the United States government has
put in opera ton in the Philippines. The
broad features OF the plans are as follows.
New dollars are to be coined and intro
duced into circulation without impairing
the practical maintenance of their parity
with gold at a ratio that may be adopted.
The government is TO close the minis to
the free coinage of silver dollars. and re-
importation of the present pesos is to be
prohibited
1t is recommended that the ratio of the
new dollar to gold shall be established on
the basis of the average gold price Of the
Mexican pesos in foreign markets during
the past ten years with an increase not
exceeding ten per cent.
Gold coinage to be suspended until such
time as the silver dollars shall have at
tanned parity with gold and when the
circulation of gold coins will not. in the
opinion of the government, impair the
maintenance of that parity.
The new dollars for a specified time are
to be exchanged for pesos at par.
4 reserve fund in either gold or silver is
to be created and maintained either in the
republic or abroad. If the gold price Of
silver in foreign markets shall rise so
that silver dollars shall come to possess a
value equal or greater than ascribed TO
them by the legal ration adopted, steps
will be taken to demonetiZe the silver dol
lars and to introduce a gold standard
with free coinage and the use of the yell
low metal as the medium of circulation.
