Elsie Elliot and Eunice Dease. the
young women alleged to have been

detectives in a hotel in Birmingham.
The information was furnished by

titled Special Agent L. ]. Bailey, of
a Government operative was dis
patched to Birmingham to bring the
girls to Atlanta.
Denton will be confronted by the
girls upon their return.
Denton was released on bonds OF
$500 Wednesday night. He will be
tried Saturday.
According to a report from Bir-
mingham, both Elsie Elliot and Eu-
nice Dease are emphatic in declaring
that Denton persuaded them to make
the trip.
The little Dease girl declared that
when she got to the Terminal Station
in Atlanta, preparatory to making the
trip, she decided not to go. At this

you don't go I'll kill you"
According to the story told by Elsie
Elliot, she was employed as Dentons
stenOgrapher. Several times, she said
he suggested that she take a trip, and
she. taken with the romantic idea
contained in the suggestion, finally
consented. The Dease girl. who was
the Elliot girls chum, also agreed
to go, il is said Denton thereupon
gave the two money and told them to
buy ticket to Birmingham, but not

If a man buys ( cotton contract n

But if he accepts delivery in New
York he is likely to get dog tail cot
ton that no one could use for ordi-
nary purposes, and the money he will
get as a supposed settlement will be-
entirely inadequate.
New Orleans enforces delivery I'M
der Government standards, and If
cheaper grades are delivered, the lis-
ference is fairly made up in cash.
THE Clarke amendment would de-
stroy the hedoo markets. There are
many phases to the evils this would
cause, many Of them hard to explain.

HOWARD BILL To
RETIRE BONDS
INTRODUCED
Georgia Congressman Says His
Plan Solves Currency Puzzle and
Cuts Interest Farmers Pay.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Repre-
sentative William Schley Howard, of
Georgia, to-day introduced a bill to
accomplish the plan he submitted to
the House the other day to settle one
of the most troublesome problems in
the new currency bill-the retirement
of the $700,OOO.OOO per cent bonds
securing national bank notes and the
refunding OF this bonded indebted
ness.
The bill provides for the refunding
Of the outstanding national bank 2
per cent bonds with postal savings
bonds distributed to the people. These
bonds will bear per cent interest,
will be payable at the Treasury of
the United States and will be cur
rent and cashable anywhere within
the United States.
1t provides also that 95 per cent
of the sum so collected through the
postal savings banks system may be
placed in the State and national
banks in the vicinity in which the
postal savings are accumulated on
condition that the deposits do not
exceed in any institution the capital
stock and one-half of the surplus of
the institution.
The deposits thus made by the Gov
eminent are to draw 2 1-2 per cent
interest.
As the bonds sold at retail to the
people will draw per cent and the
Government will receive 21-2 per
cent, the additional 1-2 per cent will
be used to pay the expenses of the
entire system, and Mr. Howard thinks
this will be done with plenty Of mar
gin TO spare.
one Of the important results of
he plan, in Mr.. Towards opinion
will be reduction in the rate Of in
terest charged by the banks OF the
country on loans
Whereas, the farmers Of Georgia
must now pay per cent when they
borrow money from the banks" said
Mr.. Howard to-day, they will be
able to get it at s per cent II my
bill goes into effect"
