They will have a lift OF a little over

This suit was brought to recover
sGo.eO from the Continental Finance
Company. Charles w. Morse and It's

the Finance Company in payment OF
the balance of i.co0 shares OF stock in

the American Ice Syndicate at s67.0S per

and gave a note for the balance. The
suit was pom the note.
Judge Hand held that the bank by
~discounting the note became its bona

and Morse thus became liable for It.
Even II the Board OF Directors had
unanimously agreed thai the bank
should hold Morse's interests In the
American Ice pool In trust. Judge Hand

that plain gold ring on the right lit

way will come into general use.

FRIENDS WORRY
ABOUT MISSING
YOUNG MAN
NOT Seen FOR PAST Week
Clerk RObinSOn'S Absence is
Causing Anxiety

The fact that Mr. David Robinson,
one of the delivery clerks at the
Americus postoffice, has not reported
there for duty in nearly week, and
the additional fact that his wherea-
bouts are unknown to many of his
friends here, causes some feeling of
apprehension upon the part of his
relatives and associates. Mr.. Robin
son has not been at his post of duty
since last Friday or Saturday, it is
said, nor has he Occupied his room at
the Hotel Sumter in several days, ac-
cording to statements made by occu-
pants of the house. Postmaster Mitch
ell state yesterday that he had not
seen Mr.. Robinson since Friday last
when he left the office after work
hours. 1t is possible that he has gone
away for few days upon pleasure Or
upon business, but this fact does not
seem to be known generally among
his associates. Mr.. Robinson has no
enemies, and no thought of personal
violence could reasonably be enter
tanned. Members of his family and
friends are wholly at loss to under
stand why he should go away for so
long time without notifying them of
such contemplated absence, and hope
confidently for his early return here.

Change Asked For in the
Federal Oath i

Washington, December 14.--Charles
J. Bonaparte, President Roosevelt'3
attorney general, and other prominent
men have petitioned congress to for
bid the use of the phrase so help me,
God" in the administration of oaths
in the federal courts.
Senator Burton has presented the
memorial to the senate and introduc-
ed bill to put it into effect
The bill provides that the form of
oath hereafter taken in the courts or
elsewhere under the laws of the Unit
ed States shall be "In thep resence of
Almighty God, | do solemnly prom
ise," or declare, &c. The bill pro-
poses to make it unlawful to add to
any oath the words so help me, God, -
or any imprecatory words whatsoever.
1t stipulates that the manner of ad-
ministering oaths shall be "by requir-
ing the person making the same to
hold up his right hand in token Of his
recognition Of the solemnity of the
act, except in those cases wherever it
shall appear that some other mode is
more in accordance with the religious
faith of the swearer."
The bill fails to state whether the
right Or left hand shall be raised"
