Harry ]. Goldsmith, counsel for
Woolsey, said today that the funds
misappropriated by the two men may
total more than sixty thousand dollars.
Goldsmith declared that much of the
money taken from the bank had been
lost on horse races. Upon one occa5-
ion White lost seven thousand dollars
on single race.
According to Goldsmith, his client
received no benefits from the manipu-
lations. 1t is his contention that Wool

Despite the fact that Consul Letcher
had been unable to find trace of Comp

GOVERNOR WILL APPOINT
BACON s SUCCESSOR SOON
RETURN OF CLARK HOWELL TO
ATLANTA ASSURES EARLY APP
CONTINENT

Atlanta, Ga, Feb 23.-Two de
velopments calculated to have dia-
mentrically opposite effects ON the
situation occurred this morning 10
enliven interest in the appointment of
a United States senator by Governor
Slaton, for the ad interim term oc-
casioned by the death of the late SEN
ator Bacon.
Mr. Howell, prominently mentioned
for the place, returned this morning,
but made no statement. He preferred
first to familiarize himself with the
situation before commenting, and it is
probable that, after wading through
some four or five hundred letters Of
endorsement, he will see the governor
for a conference that may have a
very important bearing on the result
Hardly had the cheer occasioned by
Mr.. Howells return permeated the
corridors of the capital and rotunda
of the hotals when it was learned that
IS R. Smith had given to the press
letter he had written to the governor,
formally presenting the name of Mr..
Brown.
For the first time since his return
to Atlanta from the funeral of Senator
Bacon, Governor Slaton this morn
ing had an opportunity to consider the
letters and kilograms that have del
uged his office. There were not many
callers. A delegation from Macon,
headed by Mayor Bridges Smith, was
on hand to urge the appointment
Col. Boifeuillet, and G. Rufus Hutch
ems, of Rome, was admitted for a con-
ferance.
The governor told the newspaper
men that he does not propose to be
in a big hurry, and added that he
had not made up his mind
4 never knew geography was so
important when l went to school,
said the governor, with smile, whe.
he was asked about the demand o.
south Georgia for recognition. He did
not indicate, however, how much
weight he attached to the contention,
nor would he discuss the personal
claims of any of the applicants.
There was rumor at the capital
that the governor might solve" the
question by naming Judge Beverly
d. Evans, associate supreme court
justice, and then appoint south
Georgia man to the court Judge Ev-
ans is a citizen of Washington county,
and some appointment would prove an
element of great strength to the gov
ernor in the pursuit of future political
aspirations.

American Held as Spy.

The verdict of the supreme mill
tary court of Chihuahua, which will
decide whether Gustav Bauch, an
American, charged with being fed
eral spy, is guilty, and shall be exc
cuted, or whether he is innocent, will
be rendered this week, said FREDERICK
Gonzales CARA, legal advisor to Col
onel Fidel Avilla today. He said that
Bauch was in the penitentiary at Chi
huahua. Although many Americans
believed that Bauch was executed in
Juarez some time last night, and
never taken to Chihuahua, constitu-
tionalist officials in Juarez main
tanned that he was removed on Villas
special train last Friday to the capt.
tai city Juarez officials even gave
this report to American Consul Ed
wards, who said that as far as he
could learn, Bauch was in Chihuahua
but he had received nothing official
regarding him.
Consul Letcher, of Chihuahua, who
had been instructed to look up Bauch
the day before Villa left for Chihua
hua, called on 3auch at his prison.
They talked for about half an hour.
Villa asked him about the charges
against him, and Bauch maintained
that they were absolutely false.
An American was in the party, and
at the conclusion of the interview
said he heard Villa remark to Bauch:
q am going to kill all of your red
flaggers, and l know you are one Of
them"

And thus she bought her groceries
And now and then a gown.

And sent her girl to

Her boy to college, too.
She has a nest egg in the bank,
And even keeps a cook,

A thrifty, well-kept look.

With needle, brush and pen!
