THE SITUATION.

Washington, Oct. 29.-President
Wilson returned to the capital last
night at 1o:S0 o'clock from Mobile,
Ala, and motored Immediately to the
White House. He had nothing to say
about Mexico.
On account of the many phases of
the situation that had arisen in his
absence the President was unwilling
to say until he had conferred with
other officials what would be the next
step by the United States. When
asked if the United States would an.
nounce new course of action to
bring peace in Mexico, or allow the
previous -epudiatfon of last Sundays
election to stand as his fixed policy,
he said:
81 am not discussing Mexico at pres
ent with anybody, or making any com.
ments on the situation there"
The President told his friends that
he rarely had enjoyed a trip So much
as he did his journey to and from
Mobile. He got such a spontaneous
welcome everywhere en- route that last
night he had a pair of weary hands

The President had given orders not

the Presidents physician and con-
stant companion. DR.. Grayson said a
through train had not stopped there
in five years.
"The whole town will be there" he
told the President enthusiastically, as
he noted that 2,201 persons were found

Life Term Prisoner May
Have Been Drowned
While Fishing

Montgomery, August 1-(speciaD-Wli-
liam F. Kennedy, one of the principals
in the Kennedy -Pearce feud in Calhoun
county eight years ago. has disappeared
from the state penitentiary at Wetumpka'
where he was serving a life sentence for
completely in the murder of his own sons,
Shelf and Sarge Kennedy
Prison officials believe Kennedy was
drowned in the Coosa river while fish-
ing. He had been a trusty several years
and his pastime was to fish in the river.
Kennedy had no money and although he
had many chances to escape he never
left the prison property.
Kennedy was missed by prison offi-
cias late last week and searches have
been made for his body or for evidence
to show whether or not he became tired
of prison life and determined to seek
life of liberty.
The KennedyPearce feud attracted
much attention in the south a few years
ago Several persons are serving peni-
tentiary sentences now for completely in
crimes committed in the feud. Dr.. j. e.
Pearce is serving a life sentence for the
murder of the Kennedy brothers; John
Fowler 10 years, oJhn Eaton 10 years and

RONEY FIGURED IN
ESCAPA AIDES
Man Slain Here by Ed Ellis
Had Checkered Career
in Montgomery

Montgomery, August Especial. Louis
W. tPaD Roney, who was killed by Ed
Ellis at Birmingham Thursday evening,
had a eheckered career In Montgomery,
where he lived a greater part of his life.
Roney shot and killed Louie Smith in
front of a saloon here early in January,
but was acquitted on the plea of self de-
fense.
Only a few months before Smith had
been declared not guilty of the murder of
Brooks Fuller, a saloon man and gambler,
who was shot when he rode up Commerce
street in an automobile last summer.
After Roney was acquitted he an
nounced that he had given up the gam-
bler's life. and determined to leave Mont
gomery and establish himself in another
city. Then he went to Atlanta, but soon
returned. Using the gun he killed Smith
with, he went to a Commerce street re-
sort one night and caused terrorism until
police officers arrived and arrested him
on charges of disorderly conduct and as
sault.
No one knew that Roney had gone to
until the report came that
he had been killed by Ellis on one of the
most prominent business corners, Second
avenue and Nineteenth street.

President Wilson Will Not
Be SWerved From Course
by Any Such Tactics
SEEKING TO CREATE
WRONG IMPRESSION
Republicans at Once Attempt TO
Make Capital Out of Situation
Brought About by Purely
Artificial Means
BY G. e. STEWART.

Washington, August Especial Are
certain banks and financial institutions in
New York in a conspiracy to bear the
price of United States per cent bonds,
held by national banks to secure their au-
thor1zed circulation? Is this conspiracy
for the purpose Of creating public senti-
ment against the administrations cur
rency legislation by creating a fictitious
slump in the value of government securi-
ties and impairing the governments
credit? Secretary McAdoo believes 1t, and
what is more, he says that this is true.
Inasmuch as there has never been ex-
pressed or implied directly or indirectly
in the administration currency reform
bill any purpose to leave the governments
per cent bonds in the lurch, there seems
to be absolutely no reason discernable
to the ordinary observer of finance why
the government bonds of this class should
take so sudden and pronounced a slump in
the market. In order to make it clear
that there would be no less to holders of
these bonds, there have been changes
made in the, ,phraseology of the bill to en-
phasize this fact and that they will re-
main 2 per cents only so long as the
circulation privilege attacheS TO thefn- j JuSt
the moment this privilege is withdrawn
they will be converted into 3 per cents.
Therefore, can there be any reasonable
cause for their depreciation in value? II
they were worth par or more than par be-
fore. why should they not be of the same
value now?
Take Political Advantage
1t Is but natural that republican parti-
sans will endeavor to take political ad-
vantage of this false situation. Govern
ment bonds of a certain class points be-
low par, a most unusual occurrence in
the fiscal history of the government, fur
nishes a fine excuse for the enemies of
the administration, not yet months old
to do an extraordinary amount of view
ing with alarm"
The charge is made that threatened rad
ical currency legislation and tariff legs-
lation by the democrats are responsible
for this shrinkage in value of government
securities. Up to this time government
bonds of the denomination affected have
been regarded as potential liquid assets
of national banks and now we are pre-
sented with a situation when there ap-
pears to actually be no market for them.

Not Painful to Be Shot

many cases during the war with Spain
where man did not know he was shot
until somebody showed him the blood
running down his shirt or trousers
Similar testimony is afforded by an
army surgeon, who has served for many
years. He treated many gunshot
wounds during his time and was him
self shot. a circumstance that quail
fies him to give a doubly expert opin-
ion, says Harper's Weekly.
"A mimic ball passed through my left
leg at Shiloh" says this surgeon, "and

sation. except, perhaps, one similar TO

should imagine that the bullet now in
use would cause much less trouble
and pain than the old round bullet as
the sharp point of the conical bullet en-
ters the flesh very readily"
There is a great deal of apprehension
as to the intensity of the pain caused by
the entrance into the human body of
various objects. Many persons fancy
that If a man Is shot at all he must
therefore suffer intensely. The reverse
is true slight wound, mere abra-
sion of the skin, is sometimes far more
painful than a wound caused by the en-
trance of bullet directly into the mus
cIes or even into a bone The skin is
filled with nerves, and when any of
them are torn by the ball the pain is
extreme If the bullet plunges directly
through the skin into the body the only
nerves disturbed are those In the COM
paratively small space the bullet
strikes Since there are few nerves in
the muscles. the nerves of the skin
convey the sensation of pain to the
brain. In the same way the greater
portion of the pain experienced in the
amputation of an arm or leg Is oc-
casioned when the skin is cut, and the
subsequent cutting of the muscles and
the saving of the bone, in which all
the pain is popularly supposed to be
centered, amount to little in compari-
son.

DETECTIVES MAKE
VERY QUICK CATCH
Warren and Darnell Arrest
Negro Shortly After
Report of Robbery

Within five hours after being appre-
hended on a charge of highway robbery,
Luther Belts. a negro. was placed on
trial, confessed on the stand and was
bound over to the grand jury by Judge
H. B. Abernethy The arrest was made
by Detectives Warren and Darnell.
J. M. Darrough, a railroad engineer of
Ensley, reported to the police yesterday
morning that he had been assaulted and
robbed the night before. He gave a de-
scription of his assailant and Warren and
Darnell were detailed to look into the
matter.
According to the detectives, the robbery
occurred at Twenty-sixth street and Third
avenue. The negro knocked Mr.. Dar-
rough in the head and rendered him un-
conscious The robber then proceeded to
search his victim and had taken a gold
watch and chain and Masonic charm,
when Mr.. Darrough opened his eyes and
began to struggle. This frightened the
negro away and he left Mr.. Darrough
without having discovered that that gen.
tleman had in his possession a large sum
of money. After his assailant had de-
parted Mr. Darrough found a physician,
had his injuries treated and proceeded
to his home. Yesterday morning at 8
O'Clock he reported the robbery to the
police and Detectives Warren and Darnell
were assigned to the case.
Acting on the belief that a criminal
will always return to the scene of his
crime the detectives made their way to
Third avenue and Twenty-sixth street.
AT about IL o'clock they captured the
negro Belts at the corner of Twenty
sixth street and Fourth, one block from
the scene of the crime He was placed
in the city jail and charged with high
way robbery and assault. The detectives
swore out a warrant for him before Judge
Abernethy and the robber was carried
before that judge at 2 o'clock. He con-
fessed ON the stand and was held for ac-
tion by the grand jury. The stolen prop
erty was recovered.
Chief Bodeker said last night: ut was
good piece of work Those two boys
are always on the job and it would be a
smart highwayman indeed, who escaped
when they We're trailing him"
