TRUST uNDERsELLs ABROAD

Washington, March 1.-THE tar
in duties on boots shoes and on wood
pulp used in the making of print
paper are to be removed under the
| new tariff law as prepared by the
Ways and Means Committee.
Free boots and shoes were decided
on by the committee as a direct ef-
fort to break the control of the al
legged shoe machinery trust, which
the supreme court has held legal un-
der the patent laws.
Free wood pulp is given to meet
the needs of the publishers, who
must turn to Canada and Norway
and Sweden for their supply of print
paper to escape the exactlons OF the
paper trust
Trusts Lobhes Busy a Month.
Representatives of both the paper
trust and the shoe machinery trust
have been working in Washington
more than month to prevent the
placing of wood pulp and boots and
shoes on the free list. The wood
pulp men used the argument that
the defeat of reciprocity with Cam
ada was because of opposition to the
free trading of wood pulp and print
paper.
The vote OF the Wars and Means
Committee for free wood pulp is con-
sidered by some members of Con-
gress as another move to reopen the
subject of general reciprocity with
Canada
Representatives of the New Eng
land booth and shoe manufacturers
contend that free boots and shoes
will not result in lowering prices to
the consumers, but will necessitate
lowering the wage scale sof workers
in the factories because of competi-
tion with foreign manufacturers.
Point to Action on Hides.
They point to the results following
the removal of duties on hides.
Since that law was passed undresscd
leather has advanced 80 per cent,
showing control of this branch Of the
leather industry by the leather
trust,
The shoe machinery trust, while
it does not control the shoe machin-
cry in foreign countries, has heavy
foreign business and is undersell'ng
foreign shoe machinery in foreign
countries.
Testimony before the Ways and
Means Committee and evidence given
in the government suit to dissolve
the shoe machinery trust proved the
trust was% selling in the foreign
market its patented machinery at a
price lower than that at which the
same machinery was sold at home.

North Avenue Belle EnIists Her
Friends in Cause of $780,
900 by 1920"

With the advent of the new booster
buttons bearing the picture of one of
Atlanta's prettiest society girls,
boosting for Atlanta" promises to
become as great fad as the tango,
the turkey trot and the hundred and
one other things with which society
whites away its time.
Hundreds of Atlanta society per
sons have taken to wearing the but
tons, and they have developed into
enthusiastic boosters for the Gate
City.
Miss Frances Williams, of No. 35
West North avenue, one of Atlantas
prettiest girls, was one of the first
to take up the new fad. She obtained
a button shortly after they were re-
Ceived at The Georgian office and has
worn it proudly and enthusiastically
ever since.
She has enlisted many Of her
friends in the cause Of 800 600 people
for Atlanta" and as a result of her
efforts the booster button adjoining
the girls Of atlanta mas become one
of the common spectacIes of Peach
tree street.
Almost as many girls as men are
wearing them now, and they are as
enthusiastic az their brothers and
sweethearts over the new movement.
Thousands Of the buttons have
been given out to firms and business
men, but there are still plenty left
for distribution. Organizations. firms
and others who desire to get some Of
the buttons and aid in the good work
Of boosting Atlanta can have them
by writing to The Georgian or
Hearst's Sunday American and tell
ing how many they need. They will
be sent at once to any address.

EXPRESS THEFT
ARREST DUE BY
NIGHTFALL
Detectives Work on Theory That
Guilty Man Will Squander
$4,000 Booty.

Detective Harry Scott, Atlanta
agent of the Pinkertons, said Mon
day that the hunt for the daring
robber who looted the Southern or the
Adams Express Company OF 1000
in transit from New York to Savan-
nah and South Georgia banks had
narrowed down TO two or three ex-
press employees, who were being KEEP
under special surveillance. He an
ticipated an arrest during the day.
The centering of suspicion on par
ticular employees has not caused the
detectives to relax their vigilance.
On the contrary, the closest sort Of a
watch is being kept on every en-
ployee Of both companies who by the
most remote possibility might have
been connected with the bold theft.
The instant one of these men
energies into the white lights" and
begins spending money freely he VIII
be arrested as the man who stole the
$72 900, according to Special Agent
Weaver, of the Southern Express,
who returned to Savannah Monday
from a trip TO Florence.
we expect to make an arrest any
time now said Weaver. Every man
who could have possibly been con-
nected with the robbery is under sur
veillance. Every other man is elimi-
mated. 1t rests with two or three.
we are just waiting for him to
show up, and then we will get him.
He can't hold out much longer. There
is either a woman back of 1t or the
lure Of the white lights. 1t is always
that way. He will remain under cover
for a little while. but he will soon
show his hand. 1t is human nature
for a man with that much money 10
put some of IL into circulation, par
ticularly with the kind of man who
would come by It in that way"
At every point along the line to-day
special agents are either riding Or
lOunging around boarding houses ana
little depot hotels where the messen-
gers hang out. Sleepy eyed agents ds
they come in from their runs are
taken to the office Of General Man
aeer Hockaday and closely interro-
gated. The search has not relin-
quished one bit, although the princi-
pal activity is at the New York end
of the line
The remote possibility, as the off,
cials term It, of any messenger having
secured the money, at first over
looked, IS being thoroughly gone into.
Could anyone have duplicate seals 20
Sasten the wire into the little lead pei
let's, the combination to the safe made
into the express car, a duplicate Of
the key kept by the agent at the des-
tina ton and a duplicate OF the key
that unlocks the second lid to the
trunk, this key being kept under the
first lid in a sealed envelope, the rob-
berry might have been made in tran
sit The officials regard this as high
ly improbable, but they are inVesti-
eating such a possibility fully.

BANK MEET FOR
CITY DEPENDS
ON HOTELS
National Association Secretary Is
Here to See if Atlanta Can Fur
nish Adequate Quarters.

Fred E. Farnsworth, secretary, of
the American Bankers Association
for the past six years. is in Atlanta
TO determine whether the city's hotels
can give adequate accommodations to
the National Bankers Convention in
the autumn Of 1914.
There is no doubt that Atlanta can
do everything else handsomely in the
way of entertainment" says Mr..
Farnsworth. I'VE know all about
Southern hospitality and we know the
Atlanta bankers. But Atlanta is grow
ing so rapidly that its hotels are busy
all the while. The question is, can
all other business be turned away to
take care of the 5000 or more bank
ers?
Bankers Want the Best.
you know bankers want the best
of everything. They won't take rooms
without baths, and they positively
viii not double up."
Mr.. Farnsworth is Just from Wash
ington, where he has been working
what they regard as vital amend
ments to the Owen-Gla currency
bill.
Il do not believe the Administra-
ton currency reform plan will pass
in its present FORM" he says. ut will
pass the House practically as it
stands. but, in my belief, It will be
amended considerably in the Senate.
The temper of the Senate is shown
by the fact that while the bankers
were to have had a six-hour hearing
before the committee. they were kept
four and a half days by the eager
questioning of the committeeman,
hich covered not only the currency
bill but all manner Of subjects di-
rectly and indirectly connected with
finance.
Bill To Be Debated.
The currency bill undoubtedly will
be the leading topic of discussion at
the Boston convention which opens
October s. The currency commission
of the association win make report
and general debate will follow. South
ern members Of this commission are
Joseph MCCoTd, of Atlanta, and Sol
WeNler. of New Orleans.
'N'he bankers objection to the plan
as outlined are fourfold: Govern
mental control governmental issue of
Tank notes, the disposition of reserves
and disposition of the per cent
Government bonds"
Mr.. Farnsworth sees good times
ahead.
Autumn has not developed the ex-
peCted stringency of money" he says.
The crops are moving without undue
strain, and prospects are for healthy
conditions to follow The South in
particular seems to be I'm good shape"
Dinner Is Planned.
]. X. Ottley, of the Fourth National
Bank; Haynes McFadden, secretary
Of the Georgia Bankers Association,
and Fred Houser, secretary of the At
ianta Convention Bureau, met Mr..
Farnsworth at the Terminal Station
Monday morning at 11:15 o'clock Mr..
Farnsworth was taken to the Pied
mont Hotel. Monday night there win
he a dinner in his honor at the Ansley
Hotel. He remains until Tuesday aft
ernoon.
The convention bureau has secured
pledges Of 1871 rooms which viii be
set aside for the use of the Bankers
Convention in the Atlanta hotels 1t
is believed this pledge will be salts
factory.
81 think the association will take
kindly TO the idea of coming to At
lanta, as it did in 1896" says Mr..
Farnsworth. The only question is
one of accommodations"
