Cdptdin Hams Brother
HmrieS From Chicago

CHICAGO, Aug. 1s.-Major John Pow
ell Hams. assistant paymaster OF the
Department OF the Lakes, brother or
Cant Peter c. Hams. who shot ana
killed William c. Annis for an alleged
alienation Of his wife's affections, left
Chicago for New York Monday, after
being summoned by his father, General
Hams.
Major John Powell Hams was APP
pointed 10 the Department OF the Lakes
and assumed his office in Chicago three
weeks ago. He is one Of the best Known
of the Younger officers in the army.
Brigadier General William H Carter, in
command of the Department of the
Lakes said today:
Major Powell Hams applied to ME
for leave. he was entitled to it and re-
ceived it. I did not ask him his mis-
NO officer of the army can discuss
the shooting Of Annis II Is not TOPIC
upon which one officer could apProaSh
another. 1 know of Captain Hams who
shot Annis He is a brilliant young OF
ficer He was an honor graduate OF the
Academy and of Johns hopkins Uni
versitv Talk of his being mentally
unbalanced is ridiculous, unless IL may
be thai the natural Imagination of
man confronted with the condition
which appears 10 nave itu 10 tAit SllOSA-
ing is conducive 10 an unbalanced men
tai condition.
Considered Able Officer.
IN the army Captain Hams is con-
sidered a capable officer. He is in
the artillery. I am not personally IA
miIiar with his record. I have never
had word with Captain Hams brother
on the subject Of the shooting. it is a
topic 4 could not have approached under
the circumstances. I cannot discuss the
merits of the quarrel that led to the
shooting"
rs ii not true that in The army q
code of honor prevails which has been
exemplified in the killing of Annis?"
That too, is matter 1 cannot go
into. If If were a matter concerning me
personally. there would be much that ]
might say. The attitude of officers in
the armies of the world on questions
such as have arisen here is topic that
has been more or less completely eX-
plotted. 1 can add nothing to what
every man knows about the demands
of personal honor. I have not even ap-
preached the subject with Major Hams
1t would be manifestly unfair for me
10 discuss a situation of which I know
nothing

The Neal Bank Failure.

Consider the plight of the 5000 vic
tins Of the Neal Bank.
Here was financial institution which
the state was in duty bound to periodic
ally examine and report on. Every pat
ron of the bank had the right to assume
that the state of Georgia was meeting its
lawful obligation, and that it was con-
tinuing to find the bank solvent, we'll
managed, etc.
To strengthen the impression that the
Neal Bank was a safe concern to deal
with, the state put 100000 of it's own
money on deposit there. Nearly quar-
ter of million dollars! That was GER
tainly big sum to put in any bank, and
this fact, by itself, had much to do in
leading others to put their money in the
bank. People naturally thought that the
state was fully aware Of the condition of
the bank, and was putting its money there
because the Neal Bank was a safe bank.
One fine morning some fellow with
check on the bank demands money. The
cashier refuses the demand. Offers some
Bob Lowry soap wrappers. The fellow
with the check ScOrns the Bob Lowry
stuff and sticks to his demand for money.
The silly cashier persists in his refusal
to meet this lawful demand. Thereupon
the man with the check goes along the
street denouncing the Neal bank-and
thus a run on the bank is started.
The bank was rotten through and
through, but nobody on the outside knew
it. The angels on the inside knew it, of
course, yet the silly cashier, living in a
glass house, insanely provoked man
on the outside to throw stones!
The stones came along fast enough, and
the brittle structure fell into ruins.
Immediately, the usual statement was
put forth that everybody would be paid.
Asa Candler-whose speciality is love of
Coca-Cola, and hatred of demagogues-
declared Justify that every depositor
would get his money.
That was months ago, and nobody has
got cent yet.
And the prospect, for those on the out
side, is mortal dim.
The angels on the inside are apparent
ly irving to trigger things around so that
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-02-20

Georgia is asserting a preference over
other creditors Neither in morals mol
in law is she entitled to any preference
On the contrary, her own conduct in
giving this rotten bank a clean bill of
health-as she did by actions that spoke
louder than words-ought to put the
states claim at the rear end Of the line,
for the states neglect of duty caused the
5000 innocent depositors to become the
victims Of the angels on the inside.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-02-20
THE JEFFERSONIAN.

During the first weeks of the panic Bob
Lowry, who had $4,000 of our national
tax money in his national bank, decided
that he must keep the good money for
himself and friends-the angels on the
inside.
The goats on the outside must be sat
ished with Clearing House Certificates;
therefore Asa Gambler and Bob Lowry
(Clearing House cherubim) issued thou
sands of dollars of soap wrappers. For
the use of the Neal bank alone, they is
sued $2oo,ooo Of this illegal, dishonest,
polluting currency!
The goats on the outside had to use this
nasty stuff while Asa and Bob and the
other angels inside used the good money
of the people, the good money Of the
state and the good money of Uncle Sam.
The action of Bob Lowry and Asa
Gambler in issuing those Clearing House
Certificates was crime. In any state
where the laws are impartially enforced,
Asa Gambler and Bob Lowry would be
sent to the penitentiary.
In Georgia, however, things are man
aged differently Throughout the Union
they are managed differently. The poor,
the unpopular, the unfortunates who have
neither money nor influential connections
these are the people we can send to
jail. We can not punish such violators
of the law as Asa Gambler and Bob
Lowry. They are too big and strong
They are too well connected"
Far from being in fear of punishment
for their criminal conduct during the
panic, they are now trying to scoop the
assets of the Neal bank in order that
they may lose nothing on those $500 1000
OF certificates which they issued in vio-
lation of law.
In other words, the angels on the in
side, who resorted to crime, not only
want immunity, but reward. They
coolly demand that they, the criminals,
shall take precedence, in the distribution
of the assets, over the 5000 depositors.
Is there no shame in such men as
these? Is there no limit to their rapacity !?
Do they hold themselves above the law?
Are they devoid of conscience? Have
they lost their sense Of common decency !?
On the seventh of December, 1907,
Bob Lowry and Asa Gambler had more
than a million dollars of public money,
