Ausustans Are Active

Augusta, Ga, Sept. i.--Augusta Is today bending energies towards open ing passenger communication with the Carolinas.
 All the hungry are being fed and stems are being taken to systematize the distribution of supplies so that unworthy ones may be shut out. The negroea for miles around have taken advantage of the giving away or iooa and have been pouring Into the city by every road.
 The cotton business is hard hit. Au- gusta is one of the largest cotton mar kets in the land and the fresiiet stop ping communication with South Caro- ina at this season has wrought great ruin. The cotton exchange has au- th orIxed the building of a temporary warehouse in North Augusta, across the river in South Carolina and this ia believed to have removed the acutest uhaee of this situation until the bridges can be built.
 Some of the store electric lights are on and the streets will be illuminated in the business districts in day or two.
 Money continues to come in from every city in Georgia and from places as far away as upper New York.
 The river is down below eleven feet. The cargo Of the steamer 1.-TWO States" which sunk Saturday night has been salvaged and the boat will be raised unless another rise should wreck it.
 The water scarcity continues the most distressing general condition.

CHASE ON A CANAL
BOAT THIEF CAPTURED AFTER Ex-
 CITING RACE.
The Thief, After He Was Forced to Surrender, Was Brought Back to Chicago and
 Locked Up.

Chicago, Sept. 1.--A combination of pirate chase and Indian light occurred today on the sanitary canal and was participated in by the two members of the Chicago Detective Bureau. W. C.. Wilcox an official of the Reeves Pull. ley Company. and Edward Burnett, alias Injun Ed, who asserts he is a full blooded Potowatomie Indian.
 Burnett, who Is 30 years old, and who played the role of villain, is now under arrest at Central Police Sta- ton. charged with stealing Wilcox's $l.50o motor boat, named ''The Alice. |" He confessed to the theft, according to the police. who believe that he Is re- sponsible for the disappearance of three other boats which have been taken from the basin near the Columbia Yacht Clubs quarters the past month.
 The theft of "The Alice" was dis- covered early today and Detectives Folsom and Johnson were detailed to run down the thief. Wilcox chartered around Chicago, and started down the south branch of the Chicago River in search of the missing craft. Finding no trace of the boat in the river, the party forged into the drainage canal. going toward Lockport at top speed. When about five miles from Lockport. the party came in sight of "The Alice" moored to the banks of the canal. Burnett had moored the stolen craft and laid down to rest.
 His Indian intuition instantly ap- parently warned him of the approach of his pursuers, for while the approach ing boat was still a mile away, Burr nett discovered 1t and mmediately jumped into his newly acquired craft and started away at full speed. The "Elf." however. was the faster of the two boats and the detectives were soon within range. They fired several shots at the fleeing Indian, but he crouched low in the boat, thus missing the shots
 At Lockport. however. the bear trap dam effectuaIly stopped the voyage of 'The Alice" and the Indian was forced to surrender. He was brought back to Chicago on the Elf" which he was forced to pilot back to the city.

DECKER SHEDS
A TEAR OVER LOSS
OF WATCH IN WELL
Former East Newark Council
man Loses Timepiece
in Butler.

In the cool, deep and inviting depths
of an old we'll away up in Butler. this
States is an expensive gold watch be-
longing to former Councilman Samuei
Decker. of East Newark, and although
several attempts have been made to
recover the timepiece they have failed,
and deep is the gloom of the former
official.
The watch n fob were lost last
Sunday when Mr.. Decker n some
friends were on an automobile trip to
a relative. During the day Mr.. Decker
longed for a drink of the clear, cold
water from the old well, approached it
and with some eXertion drew from the
messy depths the old oaken bucket
dripping with the nectar Npf the gods.
Tipping the bucket, he was soon
quafing the exquisite elixir, n while
so doing heard a splash far below
in the old well. Quickly suspicious, he
felt for his watch, and horrorsl it was
gone. Leaning heavily against the old
bucket, he nearly followed the watch
into the depths below.
Others were attracted to the scene,
and while trying to assuage his grief
also searched for the watch with long
poles, but without result, and the sad
journey homeward was made.
Late advices from Butler state that
the walls of the we'll will have to be
torn out to rescue the timepiece. Mr..
Decker says that hereafter he will stick
to the city wkter supply.

BOGUS PRIEST IS
DRIVEN OUT Of
TOWN BY POLICE
Alleged Pretender Who Was
Begging Forced to Quit
Harrison.

An alleged bogus priest was discoV-
cred in Harrison yesterday afternoon
and driven out of town.
The man, who was said to be an Ital-
ian was collecting in West Hudson,
and while in East Newark attracted
the attention of Policeman Alexander
McKenna, who telephoned to the Rev.
Church of the Holy Cross, Harrison,
his suspicious that the man was not
what he claimed to be.
He told Father O'Connor that the
alleged priest was headed toward Har-
rison. Father O'Connor notified the
Harrison police and started out him
self to seek the alleged clergyman.
Policemen Dolan n Brady saw the
pretender go into a house at AZ Cleve-
land avenue, Harrison, and when
Father O'Connor arrived he followed
the mar into the house, which Is a
rendezvous of peanut vendors.
When the man saw Father O'Connor
approaching, it is said, he fed into a
room and removed his Roman collar
and priestly habit, and appeared be-
fore Father O'Connor in his shirt
sleeves.
The latter ordered him to don the
garments again and pack his belong
ings, and, escorted by the two police
men, he was taken to the Bridge street
bridge and told to get to this city and
not return.
1t is said that the same ma victim
lied many people in the Silver Lake
Section of Belleville.

MUSTPAY
SMALL INTEREST
ON u. S. DEPOSITS
New Currency Law Starts Tax
on Money Held When
Bill Passed.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Under the
terms of the new currency law, passed
by Congress in the closing hours of
The last session, banks in which funds
OF the government are deposited must
hereafter pay interest for use of such
funds. An exception is made in the
case of those national banking asso-
Citations designated as regular deposit
tories in which the government funds
are placed strictly for use of the gov
ernment's own expenses, There are
outstanding about $72, 900, 900 of govern
ment funds on which interest must be
paid by banks.
The tax is payable on funds already
deposited in banks from the time the
new law became effective.
The rate of interest chargeable is to
be not less than l per cent. and as
much more as the Secretary of the
Treasury may deem proper. For the
present the probable rate of interest
will be 1 per cen a year.
