Two photoplay magnates, who oper-
ate a place Of ausement on Eighth ave

basis, are having the battle Of their
lives. r. Foster, who is furnishing the
picture machine and some three
months experience, objects to his
partners son, while said partner. Grit

are not all that could be expected, ow-
ing to the fact that Mrs. Foster is sell

been brewing for the entire two weeks
Of the theatres existence, came 70 a
head last night. when Griffith, Jr., who
was taking tickets in the lobby, was
threatened with humiliation at the
hands OF Foster II he did not quit
smoking in the building. A heated ar.
gument ensued. and as a result the
young man, Richard Griffith, was ar.
rested and brought into court this
morning, charged with disorderly con,
duct, Foster being the complainant
The case was dismissed.
Griffith. ST., has leased the building
paid the rent, paid for the license and
furnished the incidental running ex
penses necessary TO establish the bus
mess. Foster. former saloon keeper
furnished the picture machine and the
seats. Griffith, Sr., holds the tickets
while Foster holds the money. Still
he claims he is being robbed.
A long list OF grievances was aired
in the police court this morning. Grif

MAN GETS PARDON IN ORDER TO
WE'D GIRL HE LOVES-OTHER
NEWS OF THE CAPITAL.

Atlanta, Jan. 11.-Governor Slaton
has just signed the pardon for jim
Hickey, the convict at Athens, who
was sent up for robbery from Lowndes
county in 1905, and who now wants
to get out so he can marry the girl
he Cell in love with at Athens while
he was wearing the convict stripes
1t seems she returned his affection
and agreed to wait until the shac
kles could be filed off.
But that isn't the reason Governor
Slaton pardoned him. He has no OBJ
lection to helping Cupid but he isn't
in the matchmaking business. His
real reason for granting the pardon
was that good deal of evidence has
been brought to light since the con-
viction of Hickey tending to- show he
wasn't guilty at all, that he was sim
ply the wrong man.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. December
Declaring that as long az the bank,
ing and currency system OF this coun-
try remains as II IL today the dis
aster or panic 10 always present.
Secretary OF the Treasury MacVeagL.
In his annual report 10 congress to-
day, urged adoption OF new system
which would AFFORD greater protection
The system under which We are
living not only will not prevent a
panic, but after certain point In the
generation OF panic conditions IL
reached, will make IL inevitable" he
declared.
The secretary charged that the pres
ent system established under federal
law got only promotes and DEVELOPS
panics, but at all times the country Is
carrying needless and heavy burden
OF an unit and wholly insufficient
banking and currency system.
This system never permits entirely
free commercial, financial or indus
trial action" said MacVeagh.
MacVeagh laid stress on how the
present currency plan tightens money
during crop-moving time. Taking large
sums OF actual money out Of the ordi-
nary HuhuclAl use anu lOCkluB IL up
as dead mass" In the vaults of the
treasury, according to the secretary is
unscientifc and unreasonable.
He advocated such q change In the
system as will provide Trustworthy
bank reserves. A new system, he
said, must include provisions for ney.
er-failing reserves and neverfailing
currency, and for the perfect elasticity
and fiexibility OF both; for the per
manent organization and cooperation
OF banks, which according to the sec.
rotary, are now causing the nation TO
suffer by reason Of their unorganized
state; for a central agency, to repre-
sent and act for the organized and co.
operative banks, 50 Independent that
no one bank can be owned or con.
trolled In any degree, directly or indi.
rectly, by any other bank.
The secretary urges congress 10
give serious attention to the opium
situation In America He declared
that smuggling OF the drug into this
country reaches an enormous figure.

Mr.. Glasner was reelected In the
