TO $4,000
FOR HEROIC ACT
Albanian Who Saved NobIeWo-
man from Drowning in China
Left Rich Legacy.

T. A. Brown. supposed to be an At
lanta man and former member of the
police force, is heir to $4,000 in Hong
Kong, China for saving the life of an
English girl of the nobility on August
IS, 1904, according to information re-
ceived today from the Chinese city by
Assistant Police Chief Jett.
The assistant chief and Police Cap
tain Terry are making an assiduous
search for Brown, to convey to him the
gladstone tidings, Hong Kong is adj
vised that Brown was on the police
force here in 1907, but no record of him
can be found.
At the police station 1t is thought
possible that a mistake in names may
have been made and that the lucky
man may be Policeman Charlie Bran
nan. officer Brannan formerly was in
the government service and was in
Hong Kong.
The 100000 legacy is a part OF the
estate Of Lord Rumford, who died re-
Gently in China. 1t was his daughter
whose life was saved by the Atlanta
man in Hong Kong bay. Brown was
in the government service at the time.
According to the information. which
comes from George H. Rumford, a rel
ative of the dead nobleman, the Eng
fish girl was on board pleasure boat,
which collided with a tug. She was
hurled overheard and was about to
drown when the Albanian leaped into
the water, swan to the struggling girl
and took her to land safely. For this
act of heroism Lord Rumford bestowed
on the Albanian the 100000 legacy.
If T. A. Brown will communicate
with Chief Jet or Captain Terry he
can get the $50, 600

TWO PARTIES BIC
NEED Of SOUTH
w. N. Mitchell Urges Progress
Sives to Rally to Roosevelt
for Country'S Good.

THE South needs Colonel Roosevelt
much more than he needs it," says w.
n. Mitchell Southern representative Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and a
native Virginian, who is known as the
Original Roosevelt Man in this sec
ton.
With its smaller proportion Of for
eign-born population than any other
section, the South" says Mr.. Mitchell,
lis destined to become more represen-
tatively American than any other sec
ton of the country, and what it needs
for its material advancement is two
strong parties, rather than one party
divided into two factions
"After the Civil war during the hor-
rible days of reconstruction, the carpet
baggers and scalawags, using the name
of the Republican party. made it an
absolute necessity for the decent, law
abiding element of the South to unite
under one party, and through the Dem
ocratic party they again placed the
government in the hands of the people
and established a sound system of gov
eminent that has caused the inflow of
outside capital and built up the South
to what it is today
"Now that Colonel Roosevelt, cheat
ed out Of the nomination in his party,
has called together the people for the
establishment of national party, the
Progressive party of the people, the
South should join with him and work
for new alignment of the old par
ties.
This new party may not amount to
anything in the Southern states TINS
year" continues Mr. Mitchell but in
few years it will become the strongest
factor in the upbuilding of the South
and that is why l ask all representative
Georgians, who have the advancement
of the South at heart, to correspond
with me and get together on this ques-
ton"

NEW YORK July 2O.-The TAFT

hard and fast stumbling block in the
selection Of a campaign treasurer. The
post has been rendered to several men
so far all of whom have declined on
the ground that they could not spare
the time that the arduous duties would
exact
This matter of time seems to be the
chief trouble" said Charles B. Rey-
nolds, secretary of the Republican ma
tional committee, at headquarters to-
day.
"All of the men we had settled upon
insisted that their private affairs could
not spare the time that the treasurer
ship would need.
The appointment Of advisory and
executive committee is also under ad-
visement, and appointments will not
probably be made until the sub-com-
mittee meets in the fall.
we want few thoroughly compe-
tent men on both Of these. to whom the
management Of practically the entire
campaign can be entrusted.
Although the sub committee does
not get together again until Monday,
the members are in constant touch and
in all likelihood several men entirely
eligible to the treasurership will be
sounded out before then"
