HARPER'S WEEKLY Is
BOUGHT BY HAPGOOD
Col. Harvey to Devote His
Editorial Energies

New York, May 2O.-Norman Hap
good, editor of Golfers, has purchased
Harper's Weekly from Harper G. Bros,
which sold another of its publications,
Harper's Bazaar to William R. Hearst
recently. Mr.. Hapgood is to take
charge of the publication on June /.
The announcement of the sale was
made by Col. George Harvey presi-
dent of the Harper concern. With the
Bazaar and the Weekly sold, Harper
& Brothers now have only the monthly
Magazine and the North American Re
view, outside book publishing bust
ness.
I'VE sold the Weekly" said Col Har-
yey, for the same reason that we sold
The Bazaar. 1t was losing money and
had been for some time. We had a
good offer from good people and &C
cepted it. That is all there is to it.
"A periodical dealing chiefly with
public affairs is necessarily much in
evidence, but as a matter of fact the
Weekly brought in hardly one-tenth of
the gross revenue of the house. Our
experience is that too many periodi-
calls get in one another's way. Har-
pers Magazine and the North Ameri-
can Review, both of which are pros
porous, are all We need and all We
can publish advantageously in CON
junction with our book business.
Il shall transfer my own editorial
work from Harper's Weekly to the
North American Review, beginning d
series of leading articles in the July
number, and inaugurating a complete
editorial department, comment in
cluded, in the autumn. | know moth
ing of Mr. Hapgood's plans and poll
cies, except that he and his associates
are quite friendly to the Wilson ad
ministration, as l am"
Who MIR. Hapgood's associates ara
was not learned, nor was it possible
to learn from Col Harvey. Mr. Hap
good could not be located last night.

MISS PAGES HUSBAND

Philadelphia, May 2O.-Miss Kath
leen Page, daughter of Walter Hines
Page, American ambassador to Eng.
land, admitted at Pembroke Hal,
Bryn Mawr, that she was looking for
ward with interest to her visit next
month to the Court of St James.
Il suppose we will do some enter
Iairing," she said, but father is GO
ing to be a diplomat, not a society
man"
When asked if she though she
might become attached to England
that she would want to make her
home there, and, perhaps, marry an
Englishman, she replied:
Il haven't had time to think Of
marriage, but when ! do the man
must be an American, and just half
as good as father"

ANOTHER STEP SOON IN
QUEST FOR FORTUNE
Attorney for Heirs TO Leave
For England

Eastman, Ga, May BOB. R. Cal
houn, the local attorney engaged by
prominent Telfair and Dodge county
people to secure fortune which is on
deposit for them in the Bank of En-
gland, and which has remained there
tor centuries, announces that he VIII
make the journey to England within
the next sixty days.
In regard to the journey and the mo-
tive, Col. Calhoun made the following
statement:
For a sketch by me OF the story OF
the celebrated Bone estate in England
to which a number of the most promi-
nent citizens of Dodge and Telfail
counties claim to be justly entitled un"
der the British laws of inheritance,
will say that under special employment
by these heirs to look into their inter-
est in this great property, | am pro
ceding with all care; in the light OF
the best information available here, to
find out their rights in the premises
and in order to finish their investiga-
ton abroad, l have been engaged By
them to make a special trip to Eng
land within the next sixty days tt
search the records there for informa
ton at first hand, in order thus to clea!
away if possible the mixture of Scot
fish mist and London fog which seem!
at present to hover vexatiously abou
this century-old pile of pelf, but a!
gold is good, old or new, propose tC
leave no stone unturned in order t.
find its unsummed hiding place an(
bring it to the light of the new day"
The fortune which he is going afte
was put in the bank in 1890 by persons
to which the Telfair and Dodge count,
families are now heirs. Several at
tempts to get the fortune before no.
have failed, two of the seekers dyin;
before they reached England, and tn
story on the whole has a sense of re
nance drifting through it.
The exact amount of gold in tn
bank is not known, but it has been es
timated that the property will reac

FOUND DROWNED, MANS
Death Is A MYSTERY
c. $. MCSWGGnGy'S Body Re.
covered at Brunswick

Brunswick, Ga, May 20.-C S. NJ
Sweeney, of Waynesville, who has been
emplcyc3 Z. he Ia2- of the Yarayau
Naval Stores company in this city for
some time, was found drowned yester,
day afternoon at Island View, four
miles from the city, and how he lost
his life, or how he even got to the
place seems to be a great mystery,
which a lengthy session of the coron-
er's inquest failed to solve No one
saw the man go to the country place,
no one knows how he got there or
anything at all about him.
Two or three young men of Bruins
wick We're standing on the little WHAT
at the place yesterday afternoon, and,
looking down, they saw the body 81
the man. They rushed to the residence
OF Jos. Doertinger, about % yards
away, and notified Mr.. Doertinger, who
had been at home all day and had not
seen the man around. The body was
rescued and an inquest was held as
soon as the coroner could be notified
and jury summoned.
Not a piece of evidence could be Sc,
cured which would give any indication
whatever of how the man was drowned
There were no scars about his body to
indicate foul play; he had not been in
the water long enough when found 70
even permit the water to wet his
clothing through. Therefore no theory
can be advanced as to how the man got
to this place and was drowned without
being seen by any one.
The last time he was seen was about
II o'clock the night before, when he
left a local barber shop. None OF his
friends knew where he had been dur
ing the day, and the case seems to be
very puzzling one.

MUCH INTEREST AROUSED
IN TALLULAH FALLS LAND
Suit Has Aroused Wide Interest IL
Georgia.

Atlanta Ga, May 20-The archives
of the state of Georgia have been slit
ed with a fine-tooth comb for original
plats and grants affecting the property
at Tallulah Falls, to be used in CON
nection with the suit of the State of
Georgia VS.. the Georgia Railway AMI
Power company, which will open ne i
Monday at Clayton, in Rabun county
The suit is one of the most important
ever tried in Georgia, because of the
fact that the lands claimed by the
state are now occupied by the power
company as sites for the principal
parts of its plant which is about ready
to deliver electrical energy to practi-
cally all the principal cities, towns
and industrial enterprises of North
Georgia The land in dispute is the
keystone in the $27.OOOOOO electrical
enterprise, involving the entire bus1-
ness structure of an institution already
erected, and closely associated with the
industrial destinies of over half a
million people.
Both parties have been preparing the
case for nearly eighteen months, and
in this lawsuit the last word will like
ly be said.
The claims which are made in the
suit were presented to Governor Hoke
Smith, then to Governor Brown, and
later to Governor Slaton. After inves-
tigation each decided that there was
not sufficient evidence to warrant the
states bringing suit to recover the
land. But an appeal was made to the
legislature, and it passed a resolution
instructing the state department to
bring suit, The attorney general is
acting in compliance with those ir-
structions.

HONOR OF The UNIFORM
Plan to Enforce 1t by Federal Legis-
Iation.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The war de-
partment has given its approval TO lliS
first draft of law designed to upholo
the dignity and honor of the mlhtdry
uniform of the United States in all OF
the states and territories and lnsuldr
possessions. The measure torbluS o1s-
elimination in any public place against
any officer or enlisted men wearing
the uniform of the army, navy or ma
rine corps and likewise prohibits any
person not duly authorized from wear
ing the uniform or any part OF 1t. Or
tenders could be prosecuted in any
United States court.
This measure which will be submit
ted to the next congress at the approval
of Secretary Garrison, is the outgrowth
of a movement started more than three
years ago by Mrs. Russell NJ. MacLen-
nan of this city. Aroused when three
enlisted men of the marine corps were
expelled from local theater Mrs
MacLennan voiced her protest and was
a t first instrumental in obtaining the
passage by congress of measure pro-
tecting the uniform and it's wearers in
the District Of Columbia, the territories
and insular possessions.
Realizing that the work of putting
a law through each of the state legis-
latures would be slow and arduous,
Mrs. MacLennan sought President Will
son and Secretaries Garrison and Dan
iels to aid in the enactment of a fed
eraI statute.
