Atlantans are watching with con-
siderable interest the outcome Of the
search for Mrs Edith Wilson. the
captivating young society woman who
vanished last week after living the
life of a millionaire in New York,
Newport and NarraganSett Pier and
whose multitudinous CREDITORS are
engaged in a frantic pursuit of her
departed millions.
Chief among her victims is Mrs
Josephine Lawrence, Of New York
grandmother of Mrs. Russell Hopkins,
whose wedding to Russell Hopkins,
OF Atlanta, was a society event some
time ago.
Russell Hopkins is the son Of the
well-known physician, DR.. J. X. Hop

Securities Prove Trash.
Mrs. Lawrence admitted to the re-
porters that Mrs. Wilson had obtained
"a considerable sum" of money from
her adding that it was more than
she cared to lose"
Mrs. Wilson, who is described as a
little, soft spoken woman is alleged
to have manufactured an endless
chain of credit through the agency Of
securities in a strong box, which
were nothing but bundles of news
papers and time tables.
The strong box in the vault Of the
United States Safe Deposit Company
in New York, which was supp0Sed to
contain all of Mrs Wilson's valuable
securities. including first mortgage
railroad bonds worth $4,000 600 and
There was nothing inside but this
trash.
Finally Gave Bond.
Mrs. Lawrence in the last year or
two was appealed to repeatedly for
funds to help her out of immediate
financial difficulties, Her stories were
so plausible that Mrs. Lawrence al
ways extended her aid. While she
was at Narragansett Pier Mrs. Law
renee instructed her agents to look
out for her.
The result was a surety bond which
relieved Mrs. Wilson of an attach
ment which had been placed upon her
rich Jewels. Mrs Wilson told Mrs.
Lawrences representative at this
time, II is alleged, that she was born
in Wilmington, Del, and was the
granddaughter Of John Bright, the
English statesman. After her fathers
death her mother married man
named Bancroft and for a time she
bore that name. When she was Is
ears old, the story runs, she eloped
with a man named Snyder, but later
the marriage was annulled. Then
she married Mr.. Wilson. In Phila-

In March Of 1912 Mrs Wilson re-
turned TO the Knickerbocker in New

that the woman is protege of mine,"
said the wealthy Mrs. Lawrence. "She
was introduced to me at Narragansett
Pier by Mrs. Albert Horton, a promi-
nent society woman of Providence. I
became interested in Mrs. Wilson,
and, Of course, had no reason to be-
lieve that she was not telling me the
truth.
Il remember that she visited me in
my suite at the Plaza on March A.
last, and told me of her litigation
with a Washington firm of jewelers..
She asserted that her securities had
been attached by the jewelers., and
that she was in need of money to
meet her current expenses. After
consulting with my counsel, ad-

this Is a free country and at the

than In many monarchial govern
ments.

That is the prime essential. and II
is one OF the crying needs OF present
day America. Give US truth. Give
Us education. Give Of freedom Of
mind: freedom of thought; freedom
Of expression.
The underlying principle OF re-
publican form of government is found
to be the freedom OF the individual.
Those are governed best who are gov

racy. the hope Of FIRE dom has caused

with the result that we are daily

rear plutocracy.
