Gouernor Smiths Appeal

Atlanta, April Ex-Governor Hoke Smith today issued an appeal to the people of Georgia for immediate aid for the suf- ferers in last weeks destructive storm at Chipley, Griffin, Stinson, Harris and Cave City, Ga In his appeal the governor says:
 photographic reports which have been made to me show at several points In Georgia the recent cyclone has left in its wake far greater degree of suffering than was at first supposed, and l deem it my duty to call on the people to give speedy relief to those who have been so suddenly stricken and who are now with out shelter food and clothing"
 The department of the gulf is taking ac- tive relief measures and has sent officers to several points to report on the situa- ton. In South Georgia and Northern Flor ida serious floods are threatening towns and villages along the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers, which are reported to be well above flood stages.

MEASURE IS RESULT
 OF LONG CONFERENCE
New Bill Provides For Formation of National Bank Clearing House Associations By Not Less
 Than Ten Large Banks.

Washington. April 29.--As the re- suits of series of conferences be- tween the republican leaders in the House the last of which was held to- day Representative vreeland of New York late today introduced a bill to take the place of the currency bill presented by him last week In the new bill which Is declared to repre- sent the views of substantial major ity of the republican members, and which is the measure that will be pre- sented to the conference of the re- publicans of the House to be held with in few days. nothing is left of tho Aldrich currency bill except the pro- visions for the payment of interest on government deposits in national banks The provisions for the issuance of emergency currencey on corporate bonds are entirely swept away.
 The new bill provides for the forma- tion of National Bank Clearing House associations by not less than 10 na- tional banks having an aggregate capital and surplus of not less than s5,000,000. A tax of 4 per cent on emergency circulation based on clear ing house association securities Is pro vided for the first month. this tax to be increased one per cent each month until it reaches 10 per cent, where it is to remain until the circulation is retired.
 Another section of the bill provides for the creation of currensv commits sion to consist of six members of tNA House. six of sfl e. senate and six tjF' be appointed by tue 5sfesfdent.
 Mr- Sreeland's bfif will be considered by the banking and currency commit tee tomorrow.

Gadsden. April s-fspeciaL) )-Reports from Albertvile today indicate de- cided improvement in the conditions in the stricken city.
 Thus far the relief committee has re- ceived something over 5000 in cash and four cars of supplies. The injured ire ali showing signs of improvement and no more dead have been listed. Even ina hospital patients are holding their own remarkably well and more hope is held out for the recovery of those who were supposed to be fatally hurt. About POO men and many women from this city are there and doing what they can to assist in getting matters back on a nor nal basis.
 Company of this city. Alabama Ma uonal Guard, returned this morning. and the Albertvlle company will not be re- quired for duty after tonight. Many of the injured and likewise homeless womea and children have been removed to the care of relatives and friends in the coun- try, so that those remaining can the bet ter give their time and efforts to the work of reconstruction. This latter fea- ture has done much to simplify mat ters and make all efforts more effective. NOIh OI IeCOHSlTuftlo0 IS belnR pushed very rapidly and a number of new cot tages will be completed tomorrow.
 Altogether the report is most encourage ing and shows that the All rtville people are not depending solely dn outside help but are doing an heroic ork in helping themselves. With the ttpev are diass playing the people ap tie statc shhu,d make all the greater effort to assist them in re-establishing themselves in their homes.
 The more help that is quickly extended the better use can be made of money and supplies and the more economically can the work of reconstruction be effect ed. The small army of workers on the ground must needs be fed and all relief committees should make every effort to act quickly while the result of their work will do the most good in maintaining the labor that is being so freely donated by men who cannot spare or in many cases have no money, but who are able and willing to work and whose maintenance at work is so imperative for the good of the little mountain city.

SCHLEY IS SLATED
 FOR SECRETARYSHlP

Washington, April 29.A(Special)- Admiral Winfield Scott Schley will be offered the secretaryship of the navy in case William J. Bryan is elected President. It will be the first time ia history that any naval officer has re- ceived this position The position of secretary of the navy has always been more or less a joke. The department has been run by the bureau of nayi- gation and the secretary has not been isters the decrees of that bureau.
 The bureaucratic ring has run the department for years, first under one President and then under another, with out regard to politics. Bryan intends in case he becomes President to make a clean sweep of this ring and to in- augurate a new deal all around. He does not believe it possible to do that without a practical naval officer at tn e head of the department When Schley was a desk officer here in Washington he proposed a number of reforms which although they were not acted upon, gave the idea that in position of high responsibility he could completely re- form tbe bureaucratic system. To Bry ans mind there is no one who combines the necessary qualifications of being d naval officer and of having reform ideas so completely as does Schley.
 The nearest parallel to Bryans proposi- tion in American history is lllat afforded
