NO 7IDLNGS AS YET
FROM sJlM'' HARPER,
THE MISSING CASHIER

There were no developments yes
terday in the Harper matter and the
whereabouts of the missing man are
as much mstery as they ever were.
His friends still seem to believe
that he will return and explain away
all that is now SO mystifying and that
all will come out right. They are un-
able to say where he is and those
who at first said they knew exactly
where he had gone do not explain why
they have not gotten into tonch with
him by this time. SO as to inform him
how matters stand here.
1t begins to look as If they never
knew what they claimed to know.
1t would seem natural for a fri6nd
to advise another Of such suspicious
as exist here if the whereabouts Of
the party was actually known, so that
the trouble might be cleared up. At
any rate, those who knew all about
the trip he is supposed to be taking
have not advised him of what is >gd-
ing on here, which to say the least
is unfriendly to the man; for which
reason the various statements once
made confidently as to what was
known but would not be given out,
is not reiterated as much as at first
and people therefore look with a good
deal of suspicion upon the intimate
knowledge formerly claimed.
The bank officials said to the Daily
News last night, through one of their
number that there was nothing new
in the situation to give out and that
nothing had been heard from Harper.
The matter, therefore, is without
any developments and remains as it
was at its first announcement.

which mailed him letter previously
as told exclusively in the Daily News
some weeks ago.
The letter was brought to the Daily
News office yesterday by Garner him.
self Immediately after it had been re-
ceived and is a pretty warm looking
proposition. The man who received
it, however, seems in no way fright
ened and declares that he does not
intend leaving here, but that he does
intend to stay right here and give his
testimony in the Williams murder
trial
The letter is made up of sentences
clipped from some book or paper with
one or two lines of typewriter mat
ter evidently clipped from manu-
sscript of some kind Some of the
lines of printed matter are red in
color which gives the letter a rather
'scary" significance and at the bottom
OF the page is a rude drawing of a
coffin containing the skeleton of
man and across the supposed skele-
tons chest is pasted the printed line
you lie down"
The letter is made up of jerky, dis
connected sentences and is about as
follows:
The letter starts off with the injunc-
ton: 1--WE trust you will read every
word of this clipped from some ad-
vertisement printed in red Then
comes in large black type the words
"Notice-don't forget" and then
comes the following sentences: "a

Below this abrupt ending is the
rude drawing of a coffin containing
skeleton with the initials ''S E. c."
penciled at the head of the dead one
and printed sentence you lie down"
pasted across the skeletons breast.
Garner, it will be remembered, is
the negro who received a similar let
ter some time ago and at that time
made long statement through the
Daily News as to his position in the
matter, stating in effect that he be-
lieved that it was an attempt to
frighten him into leaving the coun-
try so that he would not be present
to testify in murder case that is to
come up at the next term of the cir
cult court.
He reiterates his former statement
that he is not one whit afraid to stay
here and do his duty as he sees it
and that despite these letters he will
be here to give his testimony at the
appointed time. He says further that
he is positive of the identity of the
parties sending these would-be warn

will handle the affair in the proper
manner. He is of the opinion the law

ing a big white handkerchief at the

zling rain to hear his remarks.
The platform from which the Pres
ident spoke was decorated with cot
ton stalks and rice straw, denoting
the chief products of the state, and
the speaker referred to these crops
as the greatest in the world, except
the baby crop. which he declared
was better in the vicinity Of Lake
Providence than any place he had yet
visited. Ho paid splendid tribute
to motherhood Speaking OF the re-
sponsibilities devolving upon the
father, the President said that the
man who made good father usually
made good public official---that the
duties of the head of government
and the head of household were
very similar. and that the man who
was capacitated for the duties Of one
position was usually qualified for the
duties of the other.
souR GREAT WATERWAY.

sippi River was without doubt the
greatest inland waterway in the world
and that 1t was the duty Of the nation
to assist in its improvement IA
Before closing his remarks, he made
ian appeal to the citizens of Lake Prov
idence and Louisiana, asking them
to please stay away from the camp
during the few weeks that he would
be among them, as he did not often
have time for a vacation and that he
desired complete rest, whether he
had the good fortune to kill bear or
not.

quiet Sunday in camp. The two deer
killed Friday have been prepared and
the ce'npers will see that the Presi-
dent gets the choicest cut for his
