Member Of Prominent Gordon
Family Despondent When He
Can Not Get Work.


Despondent because of his increas-
ing Indebtedness and his inability 10
find work, Norman Powell, rs years
old, of we'll known Gordon (Ga.)
family, shot himself through the head
Friday at his rooming house, No. 80
West Harris street, dying almost in
stantly.
Mrs. William Fulks, who, with her
husband, conducts the place, was I'M
aware that Powell was involved IN
any love affair that might have fur
nished further motive for the suicide,
but acquaintance of the young man
told OF a girl whom Powell called
Lucille" and whom they believe he
was intending to wed had not he lost
his position.
Letters signed Lucille" and filed
with endearing expressions were
found by the police to substantiate
this surmise. The people in the house,
however said that they did not know
, the Identity OF the young woman.
The messages were written from At
lanta and were received by Powell
when he was In GorGon.
Standing with her back to MIN at
the time he ended his life was Mrs.
Carlton Brooks, the young married
daughter Of Mrs. FuIks. Mrs. Brooks
was drying some garments at the
fireplace,
She turned just in time to see MIN

Howard Says New
Money Law Would
Forestall Panics

Congressman William Sehley How
ard, explaining in Atlanta the prin-
ciple Of the currency bill now under
consideration by Congress, declared
that with the bill law a panic would
be impossible.
"As every business man knows" he
said, "96 per cent of the country's
daily commerce is done without the
exchange of dolia~ in money. The
trouble with the present law is that
it is not elastic. Say a man has a
business with capital of $50, 900 and
his credit is $4,000. When his credit
and his capital have been converted
into time paper, the man Is absolute

CARDS further exp nsion of his bust
ness.
Now, under the new currency bill

lateral could demand a loan. Ir this
way business men could force credit
to expend in tight times. 1t is sim
pie, secure and flexible, and with 1t
in operation no panic could come"

NEW YORK, Nov. With New

Of the rival political factions to-day
put ont claims that were distinctly
contradictory.
Conservative estimates of fusion
leaders place the plurality Of John
Purroy Mitchell, fusion nominee for
Mayor, at approximately $4,000. Tam
many leaders claimed at least as
great a plurality for their Mayoralty
nominee, Judge Edward f. Mccall
The followin gtabloid predictions
were uttered by the leaders
Robert Adamson, formerly of At
lanta, campaign manager for Mitchell:
Mitchell will be elected by prob
ably $4,000, but some of my more con-
sentative workers place their esti-
mates at So 900. The radicals pre-
DICT as high as 100, 900 for Mr.. Mitchell,
but for myself struck a medium"
Joseph Johnson. formerly of At

Mccall ought to beat the 10000
plurality by which Mcclellan won in

VERA CRUZ, MEXICO, Nov. l.
With $500 troops massed in the gov
eminent barracks to prevent any out
breaks. diplomatic conferences are
now going on that are to have a
marked effect on the future of Mex
leo. John Lind, special United States
envoy, is the chief figure in the pour
parlers. The conferences are sur
rounded with the utmost secrecy.
The German and Russian Minis
ters arrived here late yesterday That
important plans are under way was
indicated by the fact that they con-
suited with General Mas, the mill
tary commander, before they notified
Mr.. Lind of their arrival.
The French envoy is expected here
tonight, and it is probable that the
Norwegian Minister also will come.
Thus far there has been no intima-
ton that Sir Lionel Garden, the Brit
18Th Minister, will come.
The massing of troops in the bar
racks shows that the situation caused
by the editorial attacks on the United
States CONSUL Canada is growing
tense. Huerta's followers are bitter,
and are influenced by The La Union,
the chief government organ here.

Frank himself, who has closely
followed every move in the fight
for his life and has more than
once advised his lawyers, was re-
ported happy over the Judge s re-
marks. Friends said he consid-
cred it a vinication, arguing that
if Judge Roam had been on the
jury he must necessarily have
voted to acquit him.

witnessed in the States highest

lated by mony of hi ssecond victory,

working with Mr.. Dorsey in an I'M

that racial prejudice had ever figured
in the activity OF the Solicitors Of

There was a general inclination on
all sides to ignore the apparent eff
forts to lay down course Of action
for the Supreme Court in published
statements giving rulings OF the ap-
peaIs court supposed to bear on the
Frank case.
Ruling of Little Significance.
The Supreme Court, of course. is
not guided in any way by the APP
peals Court rulings so that there is
little, If any, significance in a de-
cision handed down Friday making
the trial judge the tryor as to the

Of Taylor VS.. the State that the re-
viewing court could not go behind

Huff to Have
Many Witnesses.

MACON, Nov. when the special
subcommittee of the House judiciary
Committee comes to Macon to pur-
sue its probe OF the official record OF
Judge Emory Speer, there will be o
horde of witnesses in waiting, as the
result largely of the personal efforts
of Colonel W. A. Huff. The subcom-
iuittee is due to come here Monday
November 10.
During the last month Colonel Huff
who made the first charges against
Judge Speer, has been to all parts OF
Georgia, and has arranged for more
than a score of men and women ia
appear before the committee. In ad-
dition to these witnesses, there will
he those regularly summoned by the
Government, and who were inter-
viewed during the summer by Spe-
cial Examiner r. c. Lewis, Of the
Department of Justice.
In letter to Congressman Bart
lett and Hughes, Colonel Huff stated:
When i testify before the COM
mittee l want Judge Speer to be
where he can see and hear me, and
when he testifies I want to be pres
emit, so that can look in his eyes as
hear what he has to say for him
self"
Although the investigation is un-
dertaken by the Government, with
out anyone appearing as prosecutor,
there is no doubt that Colonel
tufts original accusations laid the
foundation for the probe. These &C
cusations were embodied in the two
letters which Colonel Huff sent to
Judge Speer on July 20, 1912, and
which are now part of the court rec
"a ORD. As the result of sending thest
letters, Colonel Huff has been found
guilty of contempt of court, and is
now awaiting the passing of sentence

Vanderbilt which happens to be en-
gagged with Virginia which is not,
properly speaking Included in.g-ths
fstitNSRing Of Southern eievens, and
Georgia which tackles North Caro-
lima, to which the same applies.
The local scrap between Tech and
Sewanee is practically certain to
eliminate one OF these two, since a
drawn battle is hardly to be expect
ed. From advance dope it is hard to
figure where either team has any de-
cided advantage, and it is not I'M
likely that one touchdown will de-
eide the issue, while the margin Of
difference may be represented by q
field goal, since both teams have men
who can be called on in pinch.
Sewanee to date has tackled a!
least two teams which might be fig.
ured to cause any team in this sec
ton trouble. Reference is made to
Tennessee and Texas. The Tigers
trimmed the Volunteers by a margin
Of 20 points, but lost to the Long
Horns by a single touchdown. How
ever, any team that can pick up a
trip of 1000 miles and hold the rough
and-ready Texans to so close a score
must have considerable strength. For
this reason alone Sewanee may be
counted worthy of consideration in
making gridiron awards.
Loeb and Patten in Game.
On the other hand Tech has tack
led only one foe TO date, who has
caused the Jackets any worry. This
opponent turned up in the Florida
