PROBERS AF TER
CLEARING HOUSES
Pujo Committee QuizzeS BaIti-
more Bankers Barred From
Association.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The house
money trust investigating committee
pushed it's inquiry into the Baltimore
Clearing House association today when
it resumed its session begun last May.
Baltimore bankers who had been de-
MED the privilege of membership in
that association were sharply ques-
toned by Samuel Untermeyer. counsel
for the committee, as 10 why they had
been shut out. They unhesitatingly re-
piled that they did not know.
John r. Bland, president OF the Unit
cd States Fidelity and Guaranty Com
pany, of Baltimore, admitted that he
had received information that his in
stitutiOn was to be received into the
association since the agitation started
by he money trust investigating COM
mittee had begun
Untermeyer tried to get the witness
to admit that the committees action was
responsible for the action, but he re-
fused TO admit II.
Refused Membership.
The first witness before the commit
tee was William ". Cloud president
OF the State Bank of Maryland a Bal
timore institution with a capital of
$500, coo.
Untermeyer questioned him about the
Baltimore Clearing House association,
and Cloud said the application Of his
bank for membership in the associa-
ton had been refused.
What reason was given"
I'VE were told we would have to
become full members if we wanted to
clear
Cloud said they made two applica
lions for membership the latter one in
May, 1911, but were informed that his
institution could not be admitted. He
said his bank still was seeking mem
bership and was willing TO subscribe to
all the clearing house regulations to
get it.
cloud said his bank had conformed
to clearing house rules regarding
charges for the collection of out-of-
town bills, and minated there was no
difficulty on that charge.
All Harmony in Committee.
When the session was formally open
ed Chairman Pujo read statement in
which he predicted that it would be
necessary to correct the many "unau-
thorized, misleading and inspired re-
ports circulated regarding the commit
tees work" He said hostile effort
had been made to embarrass the in
quiry and no statement unless made at
the committee had been taken as Of

BRUNSWICK SHOULD SEND
COMMITTEE TO WAYCROSS
FOR MEETING ON NOVEMBER 15
TO ORGANIZE GEORGIA STATE
BASEBALL LEAGUE.

Some definite action should be
taken Immediately toward arranging
the necessary details in reference to
securing franchise for Brunswick
at the meeting to be held in Waycross
on November Is for the purpose OF
organizing a Georgia State League.
The meeting is to be held under
The auspices of the Waycross board
Of trade and it is also stated that
President Cornish of the South At
lantic league as well as other we'll
known baseball men, will be present
to lend their aid and knowledge to the
new organization. 1t is purposed to
form six-club league with Bruns-
wick, Waycross and Valdosta sure,
and Thomasville, Americus, Fitzger-
aid, Tifton and Quitman to choose
the other three from.
There is no form of advertising
that would serve to draw as much at
tention to Brunswick as a good ball
team not to mention the pleasure to
b., derived from the games by All the
io, ers of our national pastime.
The fans of the city should meet
together and arrange definite plans,
the business men, through the Mer.
chants Association, and the board OF
trade should both take immediate ac-
tion from all of which a committee
could be formed for the Waycross
meeting.
There is much work to be done and
money raised to absolutely guarantee
the carrying out of such an under
taking and something should be done
at once as Brunswick should be III
this new league and with team that
would be credit to any city.
Let the spirit OF cooperation once
more assert itself. Get together and
put Brunswick on the baseball map.

LEAHY MEETS COMMITTEE
At BOARD OF TRADE ROOMS
RELATIVE TO TRAIN SERVICE
NO DEFINITE ACTION TAKEN
ON CHANGE IN A., 3. G. A.
LOCAL SCHEDULE.

w. H. Leahy, general passenger
agent of the A, B. e A. Ry, met a
committee consisting of the following
business men, j. p. Davenport, w.
B. Cook, E. II. Mason, Albert Fendig,
Mayor E. c. Butts and President
Haym and Secretary Weatherly, of
tne board of trade, at the rooms of
that organization yesterday morning
relative to the proposed withdrawal
of the local Thalmann trains on the
A., B. G. A.
No definite agreement was arrived
at and another meeting will take
place after negotiations that have
been opened with the Seaboard are
completed. The concensus of opin-
ion expressed, however, at the meet
ing was that the A, B. & A. should
not insist on taking off these trains.
While the business interests Of
Brunswick have no desire to inflict
hardship upon the A, B.. & A. they
still feel that Brunswick has done a
great deal for the road and that the
city should not be Disseminated
against, especially at this time when
a new spirit of growth, expansion and
cooperation has developed.
When seen by representative of
The News before leaving for Atlanta
last night, Mr.. Leahy stated that al
though he could not make any state
ment as to the final outcome of the
matter he did say that THE A., B. 4
A. will not under any consideration
make a move that would leave any
sore spots in the hearts of the peo-
pie of Brunswick
Relative to the Chicago Land
Show, Mr. Leahy stated that the out
look for an exhibit was very bright
and that he expected to have all de-
tails complete within the week.
The new depot at Thalmann will be
erected at once, the delay at that
point having been caused by the re-
lection by. the state railroad COM
mission of the first plans submitted.
New plans have been approved and
work will begin Immediately.

the district to be mindful Of their
duty by going to the polls and vote

1t will be an easy victory for Mr..
Wilson in Georgia, but We must re-
member that there are five tickets in
the field, making it a possibility OF
his not receiving a majority of the
votes cast. In such event, the law
says, an extra session of the legis-
lature would have to be called to
elect presidential electors. This ex-
ira session would cost the state $780,
900. So vote for Roosevelt or Taft
would only help in the probable extra
session.
The old republican party is split
wide open this year. The Taft wing
of it will hardly color the water in

need not fear the result in Georgia,
we must pay our attention to the Bull

ovER-CoNFIDENcE ONLY THING
THAT ENDANGERS DEMocRA-
TIC SUCCESS THIS YEAR.
WILSON WILL SWEEP COUNTRY
Telegram from Democratic Headquar-
ters and Letter from Elector w. r.
Frier Appeal to Every Democratic
Voter to Do His Duty This Year.

AS the national campaign draws to
a close it is evident, from reports and
all sources of information, that Gov
ernor Wilson will sweep the country
and be triumphantly elected. The
only danger to the success of the
democratic ticket is in the possible
failure of our voters coming out on
election day and casting their bal
lots. The feeling of certainty of the
election of Governor Wilson may
have a tendency to cause some vot-
ers to neglect to go to the polls, in
the belief that Wilson is sure of elec-
tion and that their individual ballots
may not be needed. Over confidence
is the only thing which can endan-
ger democratic success this year. Let
every democrat stand up and be
counted, and share in the great vic
tory.
, The following telegram is self-ex-
planatory and sends forth an appeal
that every democrat should heed:
The election of Wilson next
Tuesday assured, but we need
every possible vote in Georgia to
give us popular majority. We
urge every democrat to cast his
ballot next Tuesday for Wilson
electors.
