VETERANS MAY
RECEIVE CHECKS
in SHORT time
MONEY is EXPECTED soon
AmCriCuS Pensioners Are Due
Nearly $4,000

Americus civil war pensioners AMI
those of the county at large, who re-
oeive from the state annually about
$4,000, are looking forward expectantly
tc the payment of this years pensions.
The money may come netx week, it is
said, or it may be few days longer.
Half the veterans of the state have
been paid already and Sumters honor
roll will be paid with the others.
1t has been determined to wait until
next week now before sending out ad-
ditional pension payments. State Treas
urer Speer is hopeful by then to have
almost enough in hand to pay the bal
ance of approximately 100000 due to
pensioners in eighty six counties re-
naming nupaid.
A few days ago decision had been
reached to make a payment of some
$3.50 900 this week, but that plan has
been abandoned, to wait until next
week, when it is hoped that sufficient
will be in the treasury to pay all. u
is the intention, however, to make a
payment next week, even if there is
not enough ON hand to pay the bal
ance of the pensioners.
The governor, pension commissioner
and treasurer are all anxious to see
the remaining pensioners receive their
annual stipend. s.<gt =

county, Georgia. He put his name
down in the college presidents big
book as Frank A. Wilson
Young Wilson was not long in Ok
ford before the students and faculty
found it out Not that he made a big
noise. No, not that. The fact is Of We
may tell tales out OF SCHOOL, he was 50
uiet and sober-minded that the fellows
soon nicknamed him Grandma" They
were not slow, however, in discovering
that there was something in him, He
was early invited to join the KAPPA
Alpha fraternity, one of the leading
fraternities of Emory and the South.
The faculty soon discovered that
young Wilson could quote Shakespeare
and parse Latin, do sums" and raise
big questions in philosophy.
President Dickey announced this
morning that Frank Wilson, of Leslie,
has been awarded a commencement
speakers place. Young Wilson is one
of the eight young men who have been
so honored by the faculty. The honor

MRS. SHACKLEFORD is DEAD
At HOME In ATHENS
Former ARCriCUS Lady Has
Passed Away

Mr. Frank Lanier received last night
a telegram conveying the distressing
intelligence of the death of Mrs.
Thomas Shackleford, at her home IN
Athens The death of Mrs. Sheckle-
ford was not anticipated, although she
had been slightly i'll during several
days, and proved shock to her family
and friends. Mrs. Shackleford was
reared in Americus, and as Miss Su-
jette Lanier, daughter oe Col. e. F. La
nier, formerly of this city, had wide
circle of friends here who loved and
esteemed her highly, and who will e
greatly distress at the announcement.
Of her demise. Mrs. Shackleford was in
the flush and bloom of beautiful young
womanhood and greatly loved among
all who knew her best. The funeral
will be held Monday afternoon in West
Point, where her parents reside.

Further reports of the ambassa-
doris London speech, do not differ at
all from the first report as to the
matters concerning which l complain
ed of. 1t reflects the American view
only in one particular, and that is
til at we rejoice in the prosperity o.
the British empire, as it might be
said that we rejoice in the prosperity
OF any country on the globe. But it
does not reflect the idea of the Amer
ican people in so far as he undertakes
tc announce a new Monroe doctrine,
and in so far as he undertakes to dis
cuss the construction of the Panama
canal for the greater benefit of Great
Britain, than that which, it was hoped,
under an American policy, would have
been derived of the United States IN
its construction, control and operation.
81 think it might be said with alb
solute truth that if the congress OF
the United States had had any idea that
the United States would not have he
right to control the canal in such 4
way as they saw fit, and to grant, #
they pleased, free passage to Ameri-
can coastwise vessels, not a dollar
ever would have been appropriated
either for the purchase of the canal
zone, for the construction of the canal,
or for it's fortification."

BANDIT VILLA AS PRESIDENT
OF REPUBLIC OF MEXICO
Friends Of Rebel Chief Assert That Nothing Less viii
Satisfy His VaultiRg Ambition Rules as Tyrant
King and Orders Men Murdered at viii. Remains
in Supreme Command Of Rebel Forces Nov OCCu.
pying Northern Mexico

Chihuahua, Mexico, March IA. -
Villa, the one time bandit, will be the
next president of Mexico. This is his
ambition and despite all reports to
the contrary it will remain his am
bition until he is either dead or
president. That declaration was made
today by friend so close to General
Villa as to give authority to the as
sertion.
1t was prompted by reports that
the coming to Chihuahua of General
CarTanza, recognized as the civil
head of the revolution, was to bring
about conditions more satisfactory
tc foreign governments and to place
in the seat of authority better ad-
visers than General villa appears to
have in handling complications grow
ing out of the killing of William s.
Benton, British subject.
That Villa and Carranza might meet
and that they might publicly embrace
as an evidence of their perfect har-
mony was given out as a possibility.
Carranza is now on his way overland
from Sonora and magnificent marble
building has been prepared as the Off
cial residence in which he is to per-
feet the details of government But
it was stated emphatically that the
coming of Carranza was not to lessen
in any way the power now welded by
Villa, who for months has been a die
tator.
General villa will remain supreme

commander through the progress Of
the rebellion" said one of his sweep
ing away of the Huerta soldiers from
the north of Mexico, while Carranza
remained in comparative obscurity On
the Pacific slope have so exalted him
in the minds of his soldiers as 10
make his subordination to any one
else improbable.
General Villa could not afford to
go south at the head of his troops
in the attack on Torreon before he
had first satisfied himself that his
going would not result in the loss OF
any of his power"
In the absence of any indication
that General Villa intended to move
southwark Immediately, this city, the
largest in rebel territory, apparently
has resigned itself to an indefinite
state of revolution. Outwardly con-
ditions are almost normal. The band
plays in the plaza and crowds prom
enade in the gay lights.
The silent disappearance of "sus-
poets" the reports of executions and
the general knowledge that many
people for months have been hiding
il the Easements of the buildings
fern an aspect of life little mention
ed. The man on the hill" General
Villa, who resides on an elevation
few blocks from the United States
consulate, is the one man who can
pronounce life or death for any II
those who stroll in the plaza or hide in
the easements.

The hospital and took big leap up
ward last week when over $4,000 was
added to it in actual cash The larg-
est donation of all came in the form
of an appropriation from the city
council of $4,000. A like sum has been
promised the Hospital association by
the county commissioners of the coun-
ty.
The building is nearing completion
and the good ladies who have under
taken to erect the modern structure
need every cent that they can collect
to pay off the Indebtedness on the build
ing,
They will continue their efforts until
every cent has been pledged and paid
into their treasury. Donations should
be sent to Mrs. R. l. Maynard, chair
man of the building committee, or t.

Washington, D. c., March IA. -
some means ought to be found by the
powers that be to seal the lips of the
ambassador to Great Britain, or else
in justice to the American people, he
ought to be recalled and that as
promptly as possible" declared Sena-
tor Chamberlain, in statement to-

account of Ambassador Pages address
before the Associated Chambers of
Commerce in London Wednesday
night.
Senator Chamb berlain introduced the
resolution as a result of which Secre-
tary Bryan called Upon Mr. Page for
full report of his speech in which
he was reported to have said that the
American people were pleased that
Great Britain should profit most by
TIE Panama canal, and that the Mon
roe doctrine meant merely that the
United States would prefer that no
European gSSgge77nments would gain
mokort, h.--fthe new world"
fThfe is the second time in less
tlA a year that Ambassador Page
has been guilty of the improperly OF
placing the American people in a false
gldght before the British public" said
Senator Chamberlain.

When They Knew Bank Wa
IDSOlVGnt /.

New York, March 14-Orders clodll
ing the two big New York departmen
stores operated by Henry Siegel am
his partners were issued by the federa>s
court. Judge Hough directed that tn, J
receivers appointed December 81 1
when the Siegel enterprises went intsl
bankruptcy, receive bids for the stoc
and assets of these stores. The Four
teenth street store and the Simpson
Crawford store, among the alrgest ii
the city, were the ones affected by til,
court order.
Assistant District Attorney ArthuI
c Train said that as many indictmentH
as the ends of justice seemed to require
would be found against the merchantO
bankers. Those already found charg{.
violation of the banking laws am
grand larceny in making false state
n'ents to obtain credit The grand lar4s
ccny indictment is based only on the
affairs of the Fourteenth street stor.-
OF this city and the Henry Siegel n
Co., private bank conducted in connecs !
ton with it. The affairs of the Four
teenth street store" said the indict
ment "are typical of the affairs of othu
er Siegel enterprises"
Conviction on the indictment charg-
irg violation Of the banking laws i'm
that Siegel and yogsl accepted de-.
posits when they knew the bank to Os
insolvent is punishable with a term oil
from one to five years imprisonment
and a fine Of $4,000 For the granI
larceny charge the men may be senI
fenced to ten years in prison and fined
$4,000.
Basis of Indictments.
District Attorney Whitman said thJ
grand larceny indictment was based onl
the statements of two secretaries enl-
ployed by siegel. They testified thad
false statements we're prepared forl
merchants and bankers; that liabilities
were turned into assets and that APP
proximately $2,5O0,O00 of money depos-l
tied in the Siegel private bank was
placed into the retail business while i'll
was losing money.
Additional indictments alleging that
the two men accepted deposits when
they knew the bank to be insolvent|
may be based upon testimony of indi-l
yidual depositors. Every deposit &C
cepted by the bank for a period of oyerI
year, it Is claimed, can be made tn
tasis o ia separate indictment 1t willI
take seeyral days for the grand jury tol
