have gave considerable study to-
but the reason is because if we was

CANNOT AID IN SEARCH.
Post Office Department Not to Helr
Locate Missing Nelms Women

The Post Office Department does not
see it's way clear to afford aid to Mar
shall Nelms of Atlanta. Ca, whose two
sisters. Mrs. Beatrice Nelms Dennis and
Miss Lois Eelms, have mysteriously
disappeared. Mr.. Nelms. who is the
son of a former sheriff of Atlanta
called on Chief Post Office Inspector
Joe NJ. Johnston yesterday in regard to
she matter.
Senator Hoke Smith had asked in ad-
vance that such assistance as was pos
sible be given him. Mr.. Johnston said
today that unfortunately Mr.. Nelms was
not in possession of any evidence that
would justify interference in the case on
tine part OF the Post Office Department
and he referred him to the Department
of Justice.
The elder of the two women left At
lanta in June. the former claiming she
was going to San Antonio. Tex. to marry
L. Victor Ennes. former assistant United
States attorney for Nevada The younger
sister left two days later, ostensibly for
San Francisco. Neither has since been

Dwells Upon Expense.

1t will be an enormously expensive
commission, the expense finally may run
up to the tens of millions, and, in any
case. 1t will add to the public service an
army of employees. so that it will be a
contributing element to the tendency of
bureaucracy and increasing government
expenses, which will, unless We have a
care, finally involve US in government by
government employees
Il have no disposition to place myself
in antagonism to those who wish to pre-
vent Willful and destructive business pol
ic!es. but if any legislation of this char
acter is to be adopted it should apply to
those who are guilty of such action and
not include in its provisions the vast
number of business men who are doing
their best to conduct their business opera
tons legally and fairly. BY applying this
law to these latter classes a serious in
justice is being done them, because it
will increase the cost to them of doing
business; it will place it III the power of
the commission to obtain and to make
public such trade methods of corporations
as they have which may give them an
advantage over their competitors and the
whole principle involved i'll the scrutiniz-
ing of books. correspondence and meth
DDS. as provided for in this bill, is OBJ
business operations.
Before any further action is taken
in pushing this legislation a commits
sion should be appointed carefully and
thoroughly to examine into the meth
DDS employed by other countries in
such matters and report a carefully
worked-out plan which will provide for
such supervision, regulation and rela-
tionship as our government should bear
to business operations, and the Sher-
lation should be made to conform to
this plan"
