The Solomon gang had been hunted
by officers of Coffee and Ware COun-
ties and detectives of the Atlantic

of daring freight train and other rob-

trailed to the Roundabout Swamp,
where they took refuge in the fast

Thursday afternoon.
When Sheriff ellis and his posse
surrounded the bandits, a pitched

Hail the adding babyl

Seven months old, and never happy
unless he is picking at a violin.
Feed him milk and mush and he is
apt to be as cross as a bear; stick a
violin between his fat feet and fingers
and he will Immediately begin picking
at the strings, smile of cherubie joy
will wrinkle his plump face-and he
is in the seventh heaven of delight.
Atlanta's latest prodigy Is June
Howard Stollard. the only son of Mr..
and Mrs ]. H. Stollard. of A East
Main Street, and he bids fair to de-
velop into another Mischa Elman.
But it was not until he was five
months old and crawling over every
thing in the house that the love of
music that possessed the little soul
became known, and then only through
accident One morning the baby
crawled into a closet, and discovering
an old violin that had belonged to
Mrs. Stoddard's father, calmly took
possession of ii and began giving an
impromptu concert. He had the vio-
lin cuddled up between his toes and
fingers and was picking at the strings
with both feet and hands. And out
Of the medley of sounds emitted by
the protesting violin came now and
then notes of surprising Clearness
Since then open season has been
declared on violins in the Stollard
household. The fddling baby has be-
come neighborhood attraction Like
all geniuses, the child is content to sit
and fiddle all day long. whether he
has an audience or not He has
gained confidence with experience,
and now he picks and pecks at the
violin strings for dear life. The child

SLATON DOUBTS
RIGHT To PAY
TEACHERS
Governor Asks Opinion on Amend
ment Purporting to Add Power
in Expenditures.

Governor Slaton has grave doubts
whether the recently ratified consti-
tutional amendment purporting to in
crease the Executives borrowing
power has not really put limitation
upon his powers rather than extended
them.
So serious are these doubts in the
Governors mind that he has referred
the matter TO the Attorney General
for an opinion, and will not under
take to do anything in relieving the
present situation with respect to pay
ing the common schoolteachers until
his mind has been cleared up by that
official
If the amendment has fully author
lied the Governor to proceed to the
relief of the teachers, unquestiona-
bly, he will give the matter that d.
rection, but the peculiar wording Of
the amendment, coupled with the
statutes involved, has given rise to
perpexing doubts in the Executive
mind as to just exactly what the law
does contemplate, and he hesitates to
attempt a loan for any purpose what
ever until he knows exactly what
terms and conditions a loan under
the amendment would impose, not
only upon the State, but upon the
source Of the loan.
Anxious to Pay Teachers.
Governor Slaton is anxious to see
the school teachers paid. OF that
there is no doubt. But the uncertain
ty in his mind as to the law in the
case, as well as the marked stringen-
cy of the money market at this time,
has prompted him to make haste
slowly.
If it might be so arranged the Gov
ernor prefers that such loan or loans
as he may contract be made with
Georgia bankers and financiers. If
the matter can not take this direc-
ton, however, the Governor will be
forced to go East for such funds as
he needs, and he has reason to sus-

borrowing at this time
Naturally, the Governor does moi
wish to involve the State in trans
action calling for an abnormal eX-
pense item by way of interest.
The Governor wishes to relieve the
present pressing necessities of the
common school teachers. and in ad-
dition to that he hopes to secure from
the present General Assembly early
legislation of a character calculated
to avoid delaying the payment of the
teachers in the future.
Legislature to Cooperate.
There is a marked disposition n
the Legislature, moreover, to coop
crate cordially with the Governor in
this matter.
During the present three-day re-
cess of the House and the Senate the
Governor will address his attention
almost exclusively to the problem Of
financing the teachers in their pres
ent necessities and planning for their
permanent relief.
When the Legislature meets again
Monday it is likely that the Governor
will put himself Immediately in touch
with that body, to the end that the
present troublesome status Of affairs
may be worked out legally, equitably
and speedily.

Government Bonds

market for United States bonds
Within the last few days, for the
first time since the per cent bonds
which become payable in 1880 have
been issued, they have sold on the
Stock Exchange at less than par.
This condition is a direct result of
the proposal in the currency bill that
the bonds of the United States be de

TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL

Indianapolis Ind, July 3.-Indiana Is
reaching out its hand for plenty when
1T comes to a distribution of the federal
plums by the Wilson administration.
In other words Indiana Democrats are
handing up their places for enough To
make a good sized meal of pie.
John E. Lamb. of Terre Haute, was
the first man to hand up his plate. He
likes white meat. too, for he applied
for the position of ambassador to Mex
leo, one of the richest plums in the dip
lomatic service. This position is held
by an Indiana man. Henry Lane Wilson,
a republican. and if 1t were not for the
fact that the United States hesitates
to officially recognize the present gov
ernment of Mexico 1t is thought that
Lamb would have been appointed long
ago. For the United States to send n
new minister to Mexico at this time
would mean a full recognition of the
validity of the present Mexican govern
ment. because 1t would be necessary to
give the new minister credentials TO
the Mexican president. But Lamb can
content himself to wait, for there does
not seem to be much doubt that he will
finally land the place.
Vice President Marshall and a few
others of his friends brought about the
nomination of Meredith Nicholson for
minister to Portugal. another good job

little work he has to do. But Nichol-

DRINKS
POISON

Little kalman Reppa, the young san
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Reppa. cashier OF
the First Calumet Trust ard Saving
bank, saw a saucer of hy-poison sitting
in the window of his home in Calumet
yesterday. There were several flies in
liquid and to his infantile mind they
probably resembled berries. At any ratio
the mess looked delfciously ike dish
of stewed tried currents. He dipped his
little fingers into the liquor. Yes it was
sweet. So young Reppa turned up tho
saucer and drank off the contents I'D
they the stomach-ache began.
Mrs. Reppa came into the room just
in time to see what the son aud heir Of
the house of Reppa had accomplished.
nd simultaneously with the COM
mencement of the stomach ache she
telephoned for the doctor. Then sas
called Mr.. Reppa from the bank
The doctor was pretty busy all yes
terday going back and forth between
his other patients and the Reppa home
and little Kalman was certainly q
pretty busy baby.
AS long as 1t ended all right and hs
is much improved this morning. every
thing is O. X. But Mr.. Reppa says there
is to be no more liquid poison around
and that hereafter the flies will be al
lowed to live or to pull their legs out

has held for many years It is not re-
garded as likely. however, that he will
be allowed to serve much longer or
that he will be reappointed. Some other
colored democrats win likely get this
place. II DR.. Buckner goes to Liberia
tn minister to Hayti will probably be
appointed from some other state than
Indiana. as 1t would be smearing 1t on
rather thick to give the best two negro
jobs to two Indiana colored men.
In addition to all of these places,
determined effort is being made to land
the position of governor gneral of the
Philippines for Major G. " Menzies of
Mt Vernon. This effort has been on for
al ong time and 1t looks like 1t might
be successful. Maj Menzies has never
been Bryan man, but he has always
stood loyal to the party. He did not
favor the nomination of Woodrow VIII
son at the Baltimore convention. but
his friends say that this will not nee
essarily stand in his way in the cam
paign for the position, for Maj Men,
zies has for many years bee one of the
wheel horses in the party in this state.
Charles A. Greathouse. state super
intendent of public instruction, who al
co came from Mt. Vernon. sent a dis
patch yesterday to Senator Shively at
Washington telling him that he and q
delegation of other Indiana democrats
would arrive in Washington next week
to push the candidacy of Maj. Menzies.
Among those who will goi with Great
house are Auditor of State OBrien and
Judge Joseph NJ Shea, of the appellate
court. They believe they will be able
to do something for the major.
I 1t is now practically settled that
nothing will be done at Washington in
the direction of appointing the internal
revenue collectors for Indiana until at
ter the close of the present special
session of Congress. Senator Kern said
a short time ago that the President
had other more important matters on
hand at this time than the appoint
ments to few offices, and that moth
ing along that line would be done for
some time. Every time inquiry is mada
regarding these two appointments the
same answer concentrating doing at
present. The latest word is that these
who are on the anxious seat ABOUT them
may just as we'll settle down to wait
until congress has adjourned and gone
home. Then the president, so 1t is said,
will take up these matters and dis
pose of them in short order 1t is true
that similar appointments are ching
made in some other states but 1t is I'M
derstood that this Is done only in cases
where there is little competition for
the jobs. Politicians say that the Pres
ident is playing good politics in delay
ing the Indiana appointments until az
ter the close of the special session Of
