BOLD ATTEMPT
AT lMpERSONATION
YOUNG MAN PASSED AS SON OF
MILLIONAIRE GOULD.
SOCIAL FAVORS EXTENDED
Atlanta Graciously Extended Her So
cial Favors Promiscously to the I'm
poster. Many Worthless Checks
Were Cashed.

New York, Oct.-George Gould
was greatly surprised and angered
when he learned at his home at Lake
wood last night, that a young man
bad been posing in Atlanta, Ga, as
his eldest son, Kingdom Gould, and
had been put up at the best clubs and
entertained socially, and in addition
had several checks cashed.
" | wish that you would announce
for me that this man is an imposter," F"
said Mr.. Gould. "My son Kingdom is
now here with me at home. l do not
know who this person in Atlanta can
be. -
A dispatch from Atlanta last night
said that a young man of about 20,
slight in build and of light complex
ion, had registered at the Piedmont
Hotel last Thursday as Kingdom
Gould, of No. 2116 Fifth avenue. He
said that he was a son of George
Gould, and that his father was in
Mexico. He represented that private
ear would reach Atlanta in few days,
and that he would go further south Oh
a hunting trip. He even saw the
agent of one of the railroads here
with reference to the handling Of the
car.
The young man soon made acquaint-
ances about the hotel and was intro
duced into the Capital City club by
one of its most prominent members,
where he met many prominent men,
was taken driving and automobiling,
and entertained at d number of the
fashionable Peachtree street homes.
Soon after he had made the acquain-
ances of number of prominent per-
sons, the masquerader, who was ac-
companied by another young man, who
registered at the same hotel as "De
Bressles," and who said he was from
Boston, began to have checks cashed
at different places about the city. De
Bressles was seldom seen with the pre-
tender, but both said that they intend
ed to remain in Atlanta for some two
or three weeks, because they had been
charmed by the city and its people.
"Gould" visited the club quite
| often, rubbing shoulders with its mem
bers, and told a lot of stories about
his millionaire father and his OWE
prowess as a polo player.

The Boer War Scandals.

London, England.-The War Office

cases of officers ivolved in the South
African war stores scandals.
Gen. Sir Neville Gerald Lyttleton,
Chief Of the General Staff and first
military member of the Army Coun-
ell, is exonerated, Secretary of War
Haldane and the Army Council hold
ing that it was beyond human posi-
bility for Lyttleton to supervise the
system of supply while his whole en-
ergies were being devoted to COM
manding the troops.
Several officers are censured and
others retired with or without the
pay allowed retired officers. Many 9TH
ers are exonerated and restored to
service.
A note appended to the decisions
states that in all cases full allowance
has been made for defects in the
supply system as well as for the eff
fects on the men of the long and se-
we're strain of active service.
The war stores scandals were the
subject of an attack by the opposition

which resulted in the appointment
of Royal Commission to inquire into

Moderates and Liberals in several
towns are making counter charges
of the concealment Of arms, but these
matters are difficult to rectify.
Major Ladd reported to Gov. Ma
goon today that he had finished count
ing the funds in the Cuban treasury
and found that they totalIed little
more than 100000, mostly in Amer
