Rigorous Censorship Limits News

sible troop movement to Mexico. The
plan to send an expeditionary force
from Galveston has been confronted
with some difficulties in securing mer-
chant ships. The quartermaster gen.
eral has an opportunity to get some
cattle ships, but 1t would take a week
to fit them out. 1t may be finally de-
cided TO send some of the transports
at Newport News around to Calves
ton.

]. P. MORGAN ILL;
STOCKS ALSO SICK
Report Of FinanCier'S Attack
Alarms Spectators.

New York, Feb. 1s.-J. p. Morgan,
Jr., has received a cablegram from
bis father at Alexandria, Egypt, say
ing that he had so far recovered from
an attack of acute indigestion he suf-
fered recently that he had decided to
return to Cairo and not to go to Eu-
rope as at first planned.
An active member of j. r. Morgan
& Co. affirmed that Mr.. Morgan had
an attack of acute indigestion Tues
day or Wednesday of last week and
added that j. p. Morgan, Jr., had on
Sunday received most reassuring ad-
vices from his father, indicating that
the attack was practically over at that
time.
1t was said that Mr.. Morgan's fam
lily and friends felt absolutely no con-
cern regarding him and that in all
probability by this time he had COM
pletely recovered.
j. p. Morgan < Co. also received a
cablegram from Mr. Morgan. 1t was
dated Cairo and said Mr.. Morgan was
in good spirits and probably would
remain fortnight.
Reports of Mr.. Morgan's illness
alarmed spectators in the New York
stock market and when trading began
stocks were unloaded in large amounts.
Bull traders hastily closed out con-
tracts and there also was heavy sell
ing by the bears. Prices broke
abruptly, but recovered later on reas-
suring reports concerning Mr.. Nor
gan's condition.

CLAIMS LOAN MEN
MULCTED HIM
Conductor Says He Paid Extor-
tomato Interest and Asks Re-
traint Of Garnishment.

The operations Of money lenders
were unearthed Tuesday morning
when William S Coburn, represent
ing Sidney Baxter, a conductor on
the Southern Railway, went before
Judge Newman in the United States
District Court and applied for an or
der restraining two money lenders
from leyying on the wages Of his
client.
Saturday Baxter filed voluntary
petition in bankruptcy placing his
assets at $3.50 and liabilities at 1886.
asking that his salary outstanding.
$Z40, and household. property valued
al $500 be exempt.
In 1903 Baxter borrowed $3.50 from
the Birmingham Discount Company,
which charged him, he says, SIS per
month interest Baxter in his petit
ton claims % have paid the inter
est for three years and still owes
the concern $3.50. the principal.
Again, on July l, 1912 Baxter Dor
roWed from the Atlanta Finance
Company. which is represented IN At
lanta by 6. II. ROsenbush, sos, and
for this amount he claims TO have
paid 81 per month interest for one
year and still owes the original $105.
These two concerns from which
Baxter borrowed threaten to gar
uishee his wages, the petition states.
