BANKERS DISCUSS
THE DEPOSIT PLAN
Treasury Is Able to Put Out
$3.50, ,OOO,O 900, if Needed;
Denver Men Ask for Fif-
teen to Twenty Million.

WASHINGTON, Aug, Sat a con-
ference today between treasury off.
cials and fifty bankers of the central
west regarding the distribution of gov
ernment deposits to assist in moving
the crops, Assistant Secretary John
Shelton Williams declared the treasury
was prepared to deposit $l00,O00,000, if
necessary. The original plan called for
SOC, 100000.
The exact amount Of the government
deposits will be determined after the
views Of the bankers have been
analyzed.
Bankers of Chicago and Indianapolis,
it was declared, were not prepared TO
say whether the deposits would be
needed by them, but that they would
be glad to receive portion of the
funds. Generally the government IS
proposition TO put out the money was
welcomed. Denver, Colo, requested
$20,O00,000.
Additional Security.
Mr. Williams informed the bankers
that on deposits to be secured by state
and other bonds, exclusive of govern
ment bonds and by commercial paper,
the treasury department probably
would insist on an additional security
of 10 per cent in United States bonds.
With a tentative decision reached to
place $25, 100000 in the south to assist
in moving and marketing cotton and
other crops, the principal question dis
cussed today was the division Of the
remainder between the middle and far
west. The bankers generally, it was
stated, were enthusiastic over the pros
pect of government assistance.
Secretary McAdoo made it clear to
the bankers today that while he felt
impelled to deposit the money in the
large centers in the agricultural belts,
he would insist that the big banks re-
ceiviug the funds should pass them
along to the smaller or country banks
at reasonable rates of interest. The
treasury department is powerless to
name the rate of interest, but the con
dition of reasonableness will be IN
posed.

Governor Asks Advice.

Governor o Neal of Alabama. realiz,
ing the gravity OF the situation, has
asked Attorney General McReynolds for
an opinion as to the proper method of
selecting Senator Johnston S successor.
Attorney General McReynolds' declined
tonight to discuss the matter, but it was
the unanimous conclusion, after an in
formal conference Of senate Demo-
Gratis, that the Alabama legislature
must be called in special session before
Governor O'Neal can do anything. The
legislature then may authorize him un-
der the terms of the seventeenth amend
ment to appoint q successor ad interim
and it also may provide the machinery
for special election to choose a new
senator to serve for the term begin
ming March 4, 1915.

To The Jimplecute:

To The Jimplecute:
notice in the limp. Of March
the 9th, one Rev. J. w. Lively.
of somewhere, had Haunted the
Bonfoey and Fowler tragedy be-
fore your readers. Now | think
this Bro. has had his inspiration
from the wrong source or his
imagination is very elastic.
He is reasonably correct in his
report of the matter until he
says, "Bonfoey began to suspect
Fowler of misappropriating the
funds" Bonfoey knew very
we'll this leakage was going into
his wife's trunk. Mr.. Fowler
being his, Bonfoey's, bookkeep-
er, knew we'll in what direction
this leakage was going In or
der to hedge against any testi-
mony against him, he conceived
the idea to murder Fowler and
claim it was case of suicide.
Now as for Bonfoey and Fowler
going to an Office over drug
store, and Fowler writing a d0cu-
ment and calling on Bonfoey to
sign it OF he wa. a dead man, this
statement is false. They were
in a little common box house
about 12xl4 setting up almost on
tits, situated in the N. +. part of
Jefferson at that time. in Austin
street, near where the Batemanr
White Block was later built. The
two men were in this house alone,
a pistol shot was heard by per.
sons near by, and Bonfoey APP
peared at the door and amour
ced that Fowler had shot him.
SELF
Parties made a hurried exami-
nation of the tragedy and it was
found that Fowler had been shot
in the back of the head, while he
was at his de; k writing; he fell
from his chair with pen in hand.
He left a'word incomplete, and
as he fell he made scrawl with
his pen across the paper. The
murder was considered one of
most dastardly and cowardly
acts ever committed in Jefferson
and the evidence was so plain
against Bonfoey that he was
showed in jail and refused bail.
Mrs. Bonfoey was immedi-
ately put under survilance, as it
was supposed her trunks con.
tanned this leakage Bro. Lively
talks about, and by the way, it.
was Fedral soldiers that was to
protect herself and money, and
they, like the most of the carpet
baggers, whose honesty was a
little elastic and conscience
scared. proceeded to murder
Mrs. Bonfoey and rifle her trunks
and then fed the country. They
had one child that sickened and
died just about the time Mrs. B.
was murdered. This was too
much for Mr.. Bonfoey. as he
was not permitted to leave Jail
to see either his wife or child
buried, and with the remOrse of
conscience of having committed
one of the most dastardly muir
ders, and knowing that his own
bosom companion, had been by
his own friends, as cowardly
murdered as Fowler had been at
his own hands, he died of bro
ken heart. So ended the Bon
toey and Fowler episode.
| make this statement, or cor
rection, of Rev. Lively's epistle
in yours of the 9th, that no stig-
ma may be attributed to the
memory Of Mr.. Fowler, who was
considered an honorable gentle
man, and from the same epistle
the murder of Mrs. Bonfeey
could be attributed to some of
the good people of Harrison
County, while it was done by the
Federal soldiers who assumed
the right to guard her and her
trunks. J. CHI

RAILROADS AGREE
TO ARBITRATION

New York, Feb. 1S.-Eastern rail-
roads have agreed to arbitrate the de-
mands of the brotherhood of locomo-
tive firemen and enginemen, under
the Erdman act. This breaks the dead
lock. The decision of the railways
was announced in an official statement
issued by Elisha Lee, chairman of
the managers conference committee.
'"The managers feel" said the state
ment, that the public will not tolerate
a strike"
Lees communication was addressed
to Martin A. Knapp of the United
States court and g. w,
Hanger, acting u. S. commissioner of
labor. who have. been acting as mediat-
ors in the dispute. The communication
requested hat the hearings in arbitra-
ton be open to the public.
Lee reiterated that the principal OBJ
jections of the managers to the Erd-
man act was that the responsibility
upon the third member of the Erdman
arbitration board was too great for
one man, the operation of the act be-
ing 20 settle the dispute, rather than
~adjudicate the controversy, an the
failure of the act to guard the inter
ests of the public"
