APPROVES NEW CURRENCY LAW
Board Of lnvestment Bankers "a
Meet Here To-day.

governors of the Investment Bankers As
ISOLATION of the United States met to-day
in executive session here. About twenty
members. representing tho larger bond
houses in New York, Chicago. Philadel-
phia and other cities. were present.
Among the topics discussed was the new
currency law. which met with approval.
1t was the feeling OF the meeting that It
probably would work ont all right and
should have the benefit of the doubt
until II had been proved lacking.
The board held a dinner tonight at the
Racquet Club. There will be a short
executive session tomorrow morning in
New York.

BIG ORE CONTRACT NEAR END.
steel Company 60 Let Others Duy 81
Great NOrtheru.

The United States Steel Corporation
will make only two more payments to
Louis w. Hill. James N. Hill and Walter
J. Hill. trustees of the Great Northern
Orc Properties, under the contract with
the mining properties. for the reason that
on October rs. 1911. the directors of the
Steel Corporation decided to exercise
their right TO terminate the contract
which was made in 1906. on two years
notice.
The check which the Steel Corporation
will send to the trustees for ore taken
out of the properties during 1913 will
amount to $5.533,500. The Steel Cor
poration has mined $4,000 tons of ore
under the contract from the Great North
ern Ore Properties, for which II has paid
them s27.243.000. Tho Great Northern
Railroad has also received the benefit Of
all the tonnage.
In the future the Steel Corpora alton will
continue as customer OF the Great
Northern Properties. but other companies
will have a right to purchase ore on the
same basis. This will probably mean
that instead Of losing tonnage the C;rea.
Northern Railroad will increase its
business.

SHORTAGE OF EGGS
IN COLD STORAGE
Report Of Warehouse Men
Shows 5O3.2OO Cases Less
Than Last Year.
SUPPLY MAY BIZ ENOUGH
10, 900. 900 Pounds More Butter,
Though. in Storage Than
in January. 1913.

The monthly report given out yesterday
by tho secretary of the American Ware
houserncn's Association showed that in
forty Of the public cold storage ware
houses of the United States on January
there were only ii3.40O cases Of storage
eggs. Each case contains thirty dozen,
or 1iS,S24,000 eggs. This IL an
almost unprecedcntedly light supply TO
carry into the new year.
Last year. when conditions were more
normal over twice as many eggs were In
these same warehouses. on January |.
1913. the supply was $4,000 cases. so
that there Is shortage this year of
603.c00 cases. If production IN America
continues at It's present rate the supplies
OF cold storage eggs will prove adequate.
but II IL is Curtailed much higher prices
may he expected.
the supply of cold storage eggs is fairly
Wcll concentrated at II few points. The
cold storage houses at Chicago always
contain the largest supply of eggs and
naturally the surplus there is heavier than
II IL in New York. The coolers OF Chicago
do not contain now more than 100000
cases Those in New York hold about
10000. while those In Philadelphia have
only about 10000 cases on hand. This
makes the combined holdings of the three
cities $50. 900 cases out of the total supply
OF $4,000 cases.
Boston and several OF the other large
cities each have fairly large supplies, SO
chat the small interior cold storage houses
by this time have been entirely depleted
Of their original stocks. Most of the cold
storage eggs have been picked over to

BANDIT NOLAN IS
SENTENCED To
70 YEARS
Convicted Of RObbing NJ c. &
St. L. Train at Vinings-Jury
Out Twenty Minutes.

John Nolan, accused of holding up,
single handed, the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and st. Louis passenger train
few miles out of Atlanta on the
night Of January 16. and who, after
going through the Pullman sleepers,
engaged in d pistol fight with the
porter ana Cobb County policeman,
VIII spend the next twenty years in
the penitentiary, having been found
guilty by a jury in the Cobb County
Superior Court late Tuesday.
After twenty minutes elaboration,
the jury returned verdict OF guilty,
based on the evidence Of r w Had
ley. of Atlanta. who positively identi-
fed Nolan as the bandit who went
through the train and took SIT from
him. The two negro porters also iden-
tilted Nolan.
Nolan Only Defense Witness.
The defendants only effort to free
himself was his own denial No 9TH
er witnesses were called by the de-
Tense.
The holdup was one Of the most
daring attempted in this State for
many years. The lone bandit. IN
masked, boarded the train near Vim
ings At the point Of a revolver, he
forced the passengers to turn over
their valuables How much he re-
ceived is not known
He attempted to jump off the train
just before arriving at Bolton, when
the porter opened fire on him. The
bandit ran to the vestibule and re-
turned the fire A deputy sheriff,
who was passenger in the coach
ahead, upon hearing the shooting,
rushed back and Joined in the bat
tie.
Made Escape From Train.
During the excitement so many OF
the women passengers became terror
stricken that the porter and sheriff
were forced 10 stop firing, and the
robber jumped from the moving train
and made his escape. No one was
hurt by the bullets
Nolan was later arrested by Cobb
County officials He was seen near
the depot, and picked tip on suspi
cion.
AS he could not give a satisfactory
account of his presence in the neigh
borhood, he was held and later in
dcted by the Cobb County Grand
Jury.
Solicitor Herbert Gray was assist
ed by Charles Fl. Griffin, of Mariet-
ia, in the prosecution. Nolan was de-
Tended by Attorneys Don K John
