MILLIONS SAVED
j. s. BY MONEY
TRUST QUIZ
Medley Says It Ended Coffee Com
bine, Benefting Consumers
$20,0OO,O0O a Year.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Declar-
ing that the money trust investiga-
ton. at an expense of $4,000, had
accomplished an annual saving to the
people Of the United States of $780,
600, 900 by reducing the price Of cof-
fee more than cents a pound, Rep
Neeley, of Kansas, Demo-
crat. to-day urged the House to con-
tinue the inquiry.
Medley asserted the inquiry had de-
veloped evidence which resulted in
crushing the Brazilian coffee combine,
which had been exacting tribute from
every coffee consumer in the country.
This. in Neeley's opinion, was only
one Of the many benefits arising from
the inquiry.
He declared the recommendations
Of the Pujo committee for a Federal
embargo on speculation in Wall
Street and a restriction OF the "pi-
rates" who operate through the clear
ing house would be enacted into law
at the earliest possible opportunity.
Neeley also asserted greater pub
licity should be given to the findings
of the committee, saying press agents
who drew a salary Of S25, 600 a year
from J. p. Morgan & Co. have con-
Quoted a systematic campaign to
bring the committee into disrepute.
Medley denounced the dissemination
Of an alleged letter from j P Morgan
& Co. to the money trust committee.
This letter contained many reck-
less statements" said Neelev, yet
Az 900 copies of this libel were sent
broadcast throughout the United
States to poison the public against
the honest and good intentions of this
committee in an attempt to bolster
up a system that is indefensible"
Medley criticised the House Bank
ing and Currency Committee for it's
inactivity.
More than $50 members OF the
House are killing time with nothing
20 do" he asserted. He declared they
were willing to work and should be
given an opportunity to make better
use of their time.

Bishop Gambler, DR. Sexton himself,
and others, all Of whom will talk on
the subject, THE South in the Build

will plead the cause of the represen-
tative church.
At none of the churches, however,
will there be the high pressure col
lection that in most instances mark
an evangelistic campaign for devot-
ed funds
The representative church is plan
ned by the Southern Methodist Church
to typify the South in its highest
and best, to stand for the ideals and
consecraf ed purposes of the section.
1t will serve, too, as an interseCtional
church, according to the announced
plans, and as a means toward the
evangelization of the nations capt.

The plan of the representative
church first was preached at the Gen

Beloved Atlanta Woman Laid to
Rest in WestvieW Cemetery
After Services at Home.

The funeral of Mrs. Sue Harper
Minis, prominent Atlanta church work
er, who died Thursday in Brookline
Mass. was held from the residence, 245
Peachtree circle. Ansley Park, yester-
day Interment was in ,WestView.
The home was filed to overlooking
with friends Of Mrs Minis and the floral
offerings were many and beautiful The
garden in front of the residence held a
part Of the crowd which could not gain
entrance.
The death Of Mrs Minis removed
from the city and the state pictur-
esque figure. She was not only of pa
trician tastes, but democratic as well,
never failing to find in those around
her merit which could be turned to
good account She was lover of mu-
sic, art and the drama and her home
contained rare collections brought back
from her travels.
Mrs. Minis seldom lost a chance to
chronicle important events. especially if
it concerned her or her friends. Her
memoirs were full of incidents which
future generations will read with graft
fication. She went back as far as the
Civil war, recalling conversations with
such men as l.. c. c. Lamar, Generals
Lawton and Jackson, of Savannah, and
jefferson Davis. Mrs. Minis diary in
cludes notes on Grover CIeveland's first
and second visits to Atlanta, as fol-
lows:
F., AT the time of Mr.. Cleveland's first
visit to Atlanta, he presented more the
granite side Of his personality. He
seemed tired and cross. His qualities
always commanded great respect, and
he will go down in history as a man of
strong integrity, a statesman sane and
poised
ION the occasion of his second visit,
he came to the Cotton States and In
ternational exposition Either the
sweet companionship of his wife or the
friction and attentions of his high Of
fee had modified and softened his man
ner, for he was both kind and gracious
Not the granite, but the polished SUR
face of refined metal was in evidence"

case where IL fails
Dodson's Liver Tone costs only 90

her voice quavered with the remnants

became Cunning street, and no one re

all her money In trying to find it. the

then there was nothing more to do than
to return to the Terminal station, at the
advice of the good old darkey, and wait
until morning
Pride sealed her lips against telling
the matron, Mrs Payne, OF her plight
