LIVERPOOL. July 1O.--A remark
able confession of a dual life, which

Every night she would slip from

told the police that she had caused al
least 100000 damage through her
own executions.
Gentle Wife by Day.
Her husband opposes suffrage and
she had to carry on her campaign Of
vandalism clandestinely. By day she
appeared a gentle, dutiful wife, with
no thought of votes Tor women" But
at night she went forth with violence
in her heart. She was arrested.
After being taken to the police sta

fessed burning down the mansion Of

when over 100000 damage was done.

SLOWON CURRENCY QUESTION
Many Bills Are Proposed, and All
VIII Be Considered Before
the Committee Acts.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-In addition
to conducting hearings and digesting
the answers to questions which are
to be propounded to bankers and fl
nancial experts the senate banking
and currency committee will discuss
numerous bills proposed to reform
the financial system of the country
before it presents a measure to the
senate.
Chairman Owen and many other
members of the committee are engag-
ed in drawing up bills designed to
alter the currency system and it will
be necessary for the committee to
consider all of them before it settles
upon a measure that it can support.
| 1t is regarded as improbable that an
effort will be made at the present
session to reform the banking laws,
but attention will be focused on the
need for more elastic currency and
for mobilization of reserves so that
they can be utilized quickly in case
of financial distress.
Republican leaders are convinced
there is little likelihood of radical
legislation on currency subjects.
They do not believe serious effort
will be made to provide for guarantee
Of bank deposits, and they hope some
sort OF central reserve association
will be provided.
The subcommittee aulhcrized to
settle upon a list Of questions e
bankers net today, hut did not com
Ilete its task.

FAMOUS ALAMO AGAIN CENTER OF INTEREST

strongly covered with a roof of ma
sonry. The windows were high and
narrow to protect the congregation
from the arrows of the Indians.
There was an enclosure at one side
of the church in which were the con-
vent and hospital, and to defend this
Mace there we're IA pieces of artil-
Ierv. which we're mounted on the
walls of the church, facing north,
south and east, and elsewhere, to be
used for defense. The commander
Lieutenant Colonel James Barrett
Travis, was only % years of age.
Next in command was Col. James
Bowie. famous as the invento" Of the
knife which bore his name. Another
defender of the Alamo was David
Crockett, the frontiersman, known as
a mighty deer and bear hunter.
More than 1000 Mexicans under
Santa Anna suddenly appeared before
the little garrison of 166 men. In the
gray light of morning, with the bands
playing the Spanish air OF Deguelo
(no quarter), the troops dashed for
ward at a run to receive deadly hre.
Three times they attempted the as
sault before it was won by sheer force
of numbers, the final struggle taking
place in the church after the Texans
had fought their assailants from
room to room in the convent. Bowie,
who was i'll, was shot where he lay
disabled on his cot firing his pistols.
Major T. C. Evans, the commander
of the artillery, starting for the mag
azine to blow up the building, as had
been agreed should be done in the
last extremity, was struck down as
he entered the door and Crockett
was killed near the entrance with his
dubbed rifle in his hand.
Not a man of all the gallant band |
was left alive. All were Americans
except three Mexicans from the town |
who had Joined them. By order of
Santa Anna after the conflict the
bodies of the heroes were piled up |
with dry brush and burned.
1t would have been easy enough |
for most of the Texans TO escape |
even after the investment of the Ala
no had begun, but they preferred to |
lie rather than give way to their |
mated enemy. On a monument Tex
IS has inscribed:
"Thermopylae had its messenger
If death; the Alamo had none.

Cambridge. Mass. - The effect of

radium, and has been in touch also
with the work of the Radium institute
in London. The investigation is to be
made under TIE supervision Of the can
Ger commission of Harvard. DR.. E. e.

says that a group of Investigators is
being assembled to attack the problem

HASN'T "Ruined Business" There.
The prohibition law hasn't ruined
business in Atlanta. In 1907 the
building permits in the city were
$4,554,771, in 1912 they were So
97S,444. In 1907 the property val
uations amounted to 1,84O,3 $50; in
1912 the figures had gone to $154,-
827,487. In 1902 the arrests for
numbered 6,S4O; in
1912, 3,O21. In 1907 the tax receipts
we're $1,234,66O; in 1912 they had
reached the sum of s2,O59,7S7. Bank
clearings also show a big gain. In
1907 these amounted to $254,965,-
500; in 1912 they had reached to
$691,941,254. Two facts are dem
onstrated by these figures-one, pro-
aibition does not increase drunken
ness, and second, prohibition does
not ruin the business of even as big
a city as Wesleyan Christ
ian Advocate.

Kansas Congressman Puts 1t Up to
McReynolds in Demand for Imme-
date and Vigorous Action.

date and Vigorous Action.
WASHINGTON, D. Represent
alive NeeIey of Kansas has submitted
to Attorney General McReynolds a
formal request that the government
at once proceed to collect from the
Missouri-Pacific railroad $3,362,346
due the government for subsidized
bonds, advanced to aid in the con-
gtruction of the central branch Of
the Missouri-Pacifc railroad in Kan
sas. Mr.. Neeley introduced resolu-
ton directing the attorney general to
take this step.
This is the only claim the govern
ment now has on accaunt of the sub
sidy bonds issued to aid in the con-
struction of the Pacific railroad. All
other bond-aided railroads have paid
their subsidy loans. Solicitor Thomp-
son of the treasury department has
advised the secretary of the treasury
that cit would seem now, after a
lapse of ) years from the date of the
bonds, matters should be brought to
final conclusion with respect to this,
the only remaining unsatisfied claim.
1t is apparent to everyone that if no
effort is made to collect it it will
never be paid"
Mr.. Thompson suggested several
courses for the collection of the
claim. These include:
Withholding all charges for trans
portation over the particular one
hundred miles of road on behalf of
the government; demand upon the
railroad ownership for reports as to
annual net earnings and to satisfy
the governmel T. claim and govern
ment foreclosure proceedings.
Mr.. Neeley charges in his letter to
the attorney general, in support of
his demand for immediate and vigor-
Gus action, that sit is an open secret
in Kansas that the successful reor-
CARNATIONS of the companies owning
the road have been brought about
for the express purpose of defrauding
the government"

WATER IN THE SAHARA.
Artesian Well Diggers Open Well in
Algeria Having Record Flow.

Artesian Well Diggers Open Well in
Algeria Having Record Flow.
1t has been commonly supposed
that the great Sahara desert is en-
tirely without water, except for a
few widely scattered GASES. But such
is not the case. There is water in
nearly all parts of the region, but the
trouble is to find it, as it lies at an
unknown depth below the surface.
A corps of artesian well diggers
have been operating in south of AL
geria for some time. One of these
engineers opened a we'll for which is
claimed the worlds record, having a
flow of 5000 gallons a minute. This
is in the oasis of Tolga, about %
miles west of Biskra.
The water of this well rises into a
fountain nearly six feet high and
forms a small river which will make
it possible to cultivate nearly 5000
acres. The former record for Algeria
was 8, 400 gallons minute from a
we'll bored in 1907 in the oasis of
Touggourt.
In the last ten years this artesian
corps has bored wells producing 49,
600 gallons a minute, making 49,
600 since the French occupation be-
gan. This permits the irrigation of
100000 date palms, in which lies
the wealth of southern Algeria.

Athens Business Men Are Done to
the Queens Taste by a Suave
Insurance Agent.

Insurance Agent.
ATHENS, Ga.-A warrant was
sworn out here today for J. C. Moore
charging him with larceny. Moore
cannot be located and for month
past he has not been in Athens.
The warrant charges that Moore
who was the representative of the
| Mutual Life Insurance Company OF
New York, took the application OF
j. B. Wier of the normal school, &C
cepted a check for payment of the
policy, and later Mr.. Wier was mott
| fed that he had been turned down
by the company's physicians. Moore
had left Athens.
In another instance a prominent
citizen took a policy for $4,000,
paying Moore in a note for a few
cents less than $4,000, the policy
being for three years, it is said. In
other instances it is alleged he either
failed to deliver the policies after
taking the applications with payment
in checks or notes or gave policy
for one years insurance, collecting
for three annual premiums.
Two business men who secured in
surance from him and gave notes are
advertising that the notes were given
without valuable consideration and
warn the public against trading for
them. Banks here have bought and
discounted heavily numbers of notes
made out to J. G. Moore. 1t is known
that there are scores of these notes.
1t is conseTvatively estimated that
Moore secured from the business men
of Athens from $4,000 to 100000
in notes in this manner.
Representative of the insurance
company are here today and have
been in conference with the solicitor
general, anxious to locate Moore.
They state that they will protect al
just claims and will not let their pol
icy holders suffer.
Moore came to Athens several
months ago, was of pleasing presence
and manners, an experienced insur-
ance solicitor and a convincing talk
er. One or two prominent young
business men were employed to help
him in soliciting business and were
offered a division of the commissions.
One of them is suing for his share
of the commission on the $4,000
policy. the three years premium on
which amounted to about $4,000.
