SOLONS MAY RAID THE BANKS
Must Supply in Loss of Liquor Money
Some Way.

There has been introduced in the
house of representatives a bill, now
under consideration in the committee
room, declaring that all banks in the
state shall be taxed on full value ol
their property. At present the returns
of state banks and national banks are
limited practically to the par value OF
their capital stock. II is stated that
the surplus and undivided profits are
scarcely ever included in these returns,
and that other property is also repre-
sented in the usual stock returns. The
object of the bill is to put on the tax
books all the surplus and undivided
profits which may be possessed by any
state or national bank. 1t is stated
that this would result in increased re-
turns from the banks of the state
amounting to approximately $42, ,000,-
0OO.
A unmber of bankers have taken the
matter up, and will appear before the
committee in opposition to the meas
ure.

.SLEUTHS TO CHASE
TIGER TO HIS LAIR
Anti League Will Employ
Detectives.
WHEN A COMMUNITY IS INFESTED
Effort Will Be Made TO Break Up Blind
Tiger Operations When the
State of Georgia Finahy
Goes Dry.

"The method that is now being
adopted by the Anti-Saloon League OF
Georgia in discovering blind tigers that
are being operated in different sections
of the state is somewhat similar to
that used by the Ku Klux Klan in the
days of reconstruction, says the Au-
gusta Herald.
''In the community where there ex-
lists league, and a blind tiger is be
ing operated, the people of the neigh
borhood naturally do not care to
antagonize their neighbors by appear
ing in the Investigations and IN the
prosecution of the guilty.
In such cases word is sent to Atlanta,
the headquarters of the Anti-Saloon
League In Georgia.
"a detective is dispatched at once to
the place where the tiger is thought to
exist and in the garb of private citi-
zen and without anyone suspecting
what his purpose is he will quietly
work until the still is located and a
capture is made by the officers.
The detective appears as witness
in the prosecution.
"These detectives are regularly en-
ployed by the Anti Saloon League of
Georgia and the number will be
increased soon.
"When detective has finished his
work in one locality he is dispatched to
another, and one or more men, it is
said, will be regularly stationed in
Augusta, in the event that prohibition
becomes a law in Georgia.

the benefit of their own experience in
dealing with disease under consider
alton. 1t is through the discussions
that the Association is expected to be
of considerable benefit to it's members.
At o'clock the Association ad-
journed for dinner. The entire party
drove over to Prospect Park where an
excellent barbecue lunch had been
prepared under the direction of the
Americus physicians, who had assumed
charge of the entertainment of their
visiting brethren. Served in the cool
shade of the park this lunch proved an
exceedingly enjoyable social event.
Refreshed for the work Of the even
ing the doctors gathered at the Council
room shortly before o'clock and re-
sumed their consideration of essays
dealing with interesting aspects of the
physicians practice. The papers were
all of a high order of merit, both from
literary and professional stand
point. The discussions in the after
noon, like those in the morning, showed
the intense interest the doctors take in
every thing appertaining to their pro-
fessional labors.
"Our Association will be productive
of much good to the profession through.
out the district" said President Stat
ham at the conclusion of the program.
His opinion was coincided in by every
physician present. 1t was freely pre-
dicted that within year there would
be at least hundred members en-
rolled.
The next meeting of the Association
will be held at Ft Valley in November.
The full program as printed in the
Times Recorder of yesterday, was
carried out with one exception. In the
absence of DIR. Harvard, DR.. r. II.
Stovall presented an admirable paper
on ''The doctor of tomorrow"

a Divorce Is Ahead.

In room with low ceiling, twenty
four by thirty feet and containing three
windows, these curious worshipers
gather. When 200 people are crowded
into the place, the heat makes it in
tolerable to remain. Not so with the
converts. Perspiration pouring from
every part of their skin, the religion
crazed men, women, and children work
themselves into a frenzy.
All efforts to stop the meetings
proved futile. Finally Henry Gael
swore out warrant for the arrest of
Mrs. Ladd on the charge of disturbing
the peace. When tan officer went to
her palatial home in the fashionable
part of the city to serve it she was not
to be found.
Then the matter was brought to the
attention of Judge Ladd. Heprofessed
ignorance of the whole affair, and said
it was not his intention to interfere in
any ones beliefs. When the accounts
of the proceedings were given him he
demanded proofs and went white to
the lips when they were SUPP lied.
In carefully worded statement he
said he would thoroughly investigate
the matter. If his wife was guilty OF
Wrong-doiug she would be punished to
the limit of the law. Should medical
examination show her mind to be de-
ranged he would send her to the hos,
pital. But should she appear in sound
mind and still persist in her course, q
divorce, he declared, was the only con.
clusiOn.

A Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or a starved
liver. 1t would be q stupid as we'll as
savage thing to beat weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver It is
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of rliyer
trouble by it's wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretons of the blood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonouS accumulations, and so relieves the
liver Of the burdens imposed upon it by

STRANGE NEW CULT
OUT IN IOWA
Chef Justice S Wife Heads
InAffinity.
CLAIMS POWER FROM HEAVEN
Disciples of New Religion Seized
With Frenzy--Spirlt Moves Them to
Wed Chief Justice Will Probably
Secure Divorce.

Des Moines, Iowa, July 17-Getting
celestial guidance in their love affairs
"a virtual marriage in heavens the
latest addition to the many strange
things in the cult that Mrs. Scott NJ.
Ladd, wife of Chief Justice Ladd, of the
Iowa Supreme Court, heads and fosters.
A power" so odd and mysterious as
to battle the best experts of the city
wields its influence over the destinies
of sect that has no equal in the United
States.
Suddenly rising up in the midst of a
stirring meeting, John Brewer ex-
claimed:
"Our Lord, lead, me to Mrs. CIyde
Miller, whom the spirit tells me to
marry"
"Glory!" shouted Mrs. Miller, "My
! heart has left my body, and it tells me
to become the wife of John Brewer.
Within six hours license was pro-
cured and within the sacred precincts
of the mission house the couple We're
married while the congregation stood
and shouted their blessings as the cere-
monY proceeded.
Mrs. Miller is incidentally the
possessor oftwelve different languages,
gained through the power" she re-
ceived in meetings and at various other
times and ways. But her experiences
other disciples of the religious body.
Moaning and rolling on the floor, 60
ing into frances that last for hours,
and being able to speak, with no ap-
parent training, the languages offoreign
races, these, in brief, are some of the
manifestations" that come to the fol-
lowers of Mrs. Ladd's queer mission.
Arrest Does Not Stop ConVe is.
Her converts do not see anything un-
usual in their departure from the ordi-
nary methods of religious awakening
and are utterly indifferent to the
charges of cruelty that are being pre-
ferred against them. Even the arrest
of Mrs. Ladd on the charge of disturb
ing the public peace did not serve to
break up the work of the enthusiasts.
In fact, when she returned from her
enforced leave of absence scores of her
people met her at the depot and es-
corted her through the streets of Des
Moines to the mission home, shouting
and praying.
When Lieut.. George Ellyson, her
chief aid, attempted to prevent ten
year-o old Willie Miller from rolling in
faint on the floor, Mrs. Ladd ordered
him to desist. Hot and angry words
passed between them, but when the
leader looked him sternly in the eye
and muttered an unintelligiable word,
he seemed to cover before her, and
during the rest of the session was
strangely quiet. What influence she
uses has puzzled more than one Des
Moines doctor.

CALLS UPON GOVERNOR
To SAVE WATER FRONT

OAKLAND, Feb. Ex-Governor Gill
lett was requested tonight by formal
resolution of the City Council to take
all further encroachments on the Oak
land water front. from high tide line
to the United States pier head line
The City Council requested the Cham
Der of Commerce and the Merchants
Exchange to send a similar message to
the Governor. To facilitate Governor
Gillett's efforts Senator Leavitt was
requested to procure the passage i'm
mediately of amendments to section AZ
of the Political Code giving authority
to the Governor to call upon Sheriffs to
eject trespassers from State property.
The councils action followed
bill introduced by Senator Leavitt for
the creation of a Board of State Har-
Dor Commissioners to control the Oak
land water front The measure was
recommended by Attorneys William r.
Davis and III. A. Powell, special counsel
for the city in the water front liti-
cation, as a means by which corpora
ton encroachments might be checked.
The council heard extended arguments
by the attorneys. City Attorney Nc
Elroy, however, was not ready to com
NIT himself in favor OF the project and
the council laid the water front sques-
tion on the table Or future considera-
tion. Objections We're raised by Coun-
cilmen Thurston, Meese and Pendleton
to taking the control of the water
front from the city of Oakland at
this time.
Attorneys Davis and Powell urged
that no time be lost in protecting the
water front against further trespass
They asserted that corporations were
taking possession of lands outside the
the low tide line, which both the State
Supreme Court and the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals had decided
belonged to the State. They argued
that the Leavitt bill gave the State
the necessary control
1t is the intention of the city govern
ment to compel the Southern Pacific,
the Western Pacific and the San Fran
cisco, Oakland and San Jose Railroad
companies to recognize the States title
outside of the low tide line, where their
several projecting structures and fills
are located along the west harbdr front
of Oakland.
