WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
Governor Slaton to Try and
Make the Act Effective.

Atlanta, Oct. 49, One of the
recommendations which will pro-
badly be contained in Gov.
Stations message to the next
general assembly will be for a
sufficient appropriation to make
effective the existing law which
requires the governor to supply
the ordinaries of all Georgia
counties with standard weights
and measures.
Maj. A. H. Ulm, the governors
executive secretary. states that
frequent requests for a set of
standard measures and weights
are made by the ordinaries, but
that they cannot be supplied be-
cause the legislature has for
years failed to make an appropri-
alton with which to purchase
them. According to Mai. Ulm,
the demand for these standard
weights and measures is heaviest
during the cotton selling season.
Without them there is no way
for the seller, or the buyer, for
that matter, to know whether
the scales are accurate. If the
ordinaries in each county had
standard weights and measures,
tests of scales and measures
could be made with but little
inconvenience.

Case Of Pe0na6e
In Federal Courts

Atlanta, Oct. 14.-The first
case of peonage that has come up
in the federal courts here since
long before the abolition of the
convict lease system, is now in the
hands of the grand jury. The
charges have been brought az ainst
R. P. Biggars, we'll known plan
ter of Rockdale county.
The accusation is brought by a
number of negroes from Conyers
and the surrounding country. who
claim that they were held in peon-
age on Biggars' farm and forced
to work against their will.
One of the negroes, named Gro
field, testified that he was heated
while held in slavery on the
Biggars farm, while others testi-
fed before the grand jury that
they were forced to remain
through fear that Biz gars would
put them in Jail.
According to the statement of
some of the character witnesses
Biggars is young mar, only %
years of age. The method he is
said to have used to gain control
over the negroes was to go on
their bonds for Jail offenses, and
then, when they wanted to stop
working for him, to threaten to
give them up for imprisonment
The grand jury has not yet turn
ed in bill of Indictment.

II was now my turn to be thought
full. Evelyn believed in the woman's
ability to aid. She had said as much
to me. And myself possessed a GER
tain degree of faith in feminine intui-
ton. Aside from that, though, Miss
Clement had demonstrated that she
welded a certain power in her baili-
wick-was not my watch, at that mo-
ment in my pocket?-and her whole
personality proclaimed inherent ca
pacity for omplishment.

CHAPTER XVII.
Opposite the Cathedral.

Fifth avenue at two o'clock in the
morning is fast asleep. There are To-
calities in New York which are more
widely awake at that hour than at
any other time Of day. but the high
way Of fashion Is not one Of them;
and In the neighborhood of Fiftieth
street its repose Is as profound as at
any point of its long, undeviatingly
straight course.
For over an hour | had waited in
that sumptuous white marble club edi-
fee Of the plutocrats which ostenta-
tiously punctuates the avenue at Six.
tieth street, and. tired of sitting, nerv-
GUS and disappointed, l had chosen to
walk down to my rooms, believing
that the exercise In the clear, frosty
air would serve to counteract, in a
measure at least. all three of these
vexations.
To the limit Of sight there stretched
away a double. converging chain Of
! twin lights marking the curb line for
endless blocks, and Illuminating the
nearer sidewalk and roadway, II not
to effulgence. certainly with a clearly
defining radiance. Now and then |
met a quick-stel ping pedestrian, usu.
ally in evening dress with cigar alight !;
and at more or less brief intervals
limousined motors and taxicabs with
| cleaning lamps sped by me at top
| speed. Once a hanson passed, the
hoof-beats of the hard-driven horse re-
sounding jarringly against the night
silence.
At Fifty-fourth street | cut diagonal
ly across the avenue to the west side
and, continuing my way southwark
absorbed in the problems confronting
me, had been for little quite lost to
encompassing objects. Then. sudden,
ly, fearing lest in my abstraction
should pass the street on which my
rooms were located, | aroused myself
to get an idea Of my location.
Across the way the grim facade OF
the Cathedral rising dark and sullen
as a fortress made all clear. But, on
my own side of the avenue there had
been no such distinguishing mark The
brown stone dwellings, monotonously
ugly, with their high stoops and balus
traded areas, were no more enlighten
ing than the stone tagging of the side
walk or the asphalt of the roadway
Scores of blocks presented practically
the same aspect as this. But as with
critical gaze ! measured one after an
other OF these combinations | was al
at once arrested by sight of a tall
bent figure clutching the high iron rail

porters must be vying one with anoth-
er to wiring from her admissions con
corning her uncle.
To my infinite relief | found that
she had returned the word, MOT at
home" to all such callers. Inquiries
from other sources had been met In
similar fashion. Officers OF the COM
pany had called in person or had tel
egraphed, and Hatch & Hastings had
been almost aggravatingly insistent.
But, Evelyn" ! said. this is all
such a surprise to me. | had no notion
your uncle was at all active in any cor
poration. I foncied him a director,
probably, In score or more of COM
panies, but that he was the so-called
Glass King, | never for a moment
suspected. Under the circumstances,
he must have a private secretary
somewhere. who might have been Of
inestimable aid to u.s."
HE has a private secretary, It
seems" she replied, though even I
never knew 1t until l read 1t in the
News this evening. I am sure he
never came to Cragholt. His name Is
Simms-Howard Simms-and he was
interviewed at the Company's office.

point of seeing Mr.. Simms as early

But neither at his home nor at any
OF his clubs could | find Mr.. Hatch
though l searched for him diligently
until long after midnight. Evidently
he was intent on evading the sleuth
hounds Of the press, and had sue
cessfully taken to cover.
And then. on my way back down the
avenue, to the Loyalton, that hap
pened which made all subterfuge, al
tact. all assembling, unnecessary. Fol
on the sidewalk. opposite the cathe
dral, found the best of answers tc
all the questions raised by the rumol
