NO T|DINGS FROM WHEATLEY
Committee Goes to Washington in
Effort to Hasten Adjustment of
Affairs of AmerCus Bank.

AMERICUS Ga.-Three gentlemen
representing interests of the Ameri-
Gus National Bank left last night for
the purpose of comforting with au-
thorities at Washington regarding
the plans for settling up the af-
fairs of the bank and paying off its
Indebtedness without delay. Col. w.
T. Lane, representing the banks Off
GERS; Hollis Fort and J. R. Statham,
representing others here interested,
have gone to Washington.
Officers and directors of the
stranded bank are anxious to get au-
thor1ty to the end of taking over the
institution and readjusting its affairs,
but II depositors obstinately refuse
to cooperate to that end by
giving up their pass-books this delay
will be extended the full Init OF
three months, dating from February
3rd, whereas otherwise all the de-
positors and creditors might be paid
off within a few days.
In the meantime there comes nc
lungs from u. u. NneaJley, Jf., IOr-
merly assistant cashier, and who dis
appeared at the time of the bank s
collapse. There are many stories as
to his whereabouts, but nothing OF
an authentic nature. His bondsmen
express willingness to pay the
amount of his bond in full, $4,000,
when desired. However, such de-
mand has not been made upon the
company.
The status of Cashier NJ. NJ. Low
rey's bond is not entirely clear to the
public, and officials in charge of the
bank politely decline to give any in
formation thereupon.
The receiver is still at work on the
books of the bank in an effort to find
out the true condition. 1t is now
stated that the entire capital stock OF
100000, and perhaps more, has
been lost.

borate the testimony of the six wit nesses to the effect that Becker was an accomplice to the killing.
 That when the so-called Harlem conference took place Rosenthal had obtained no attention to his com plaints against Becker Tlis weakens the theory of the prosecution that because of Rosentha's complaints Becker desired him slain It is req sonable to suppose that Becker was not sufficiently disturbed at that time to resort to such desperate methods as murder, and yet it is essential for the state under it's theory to estab- fish that the plal to murder Roseen- taal was formed at this conference.
 That the two chauffeurs who are said to have carried Rose and his friends to the Harlem conference were never produced
 After referring to all of these facts and circumstances, the opinion went oa to say that in the light of much doubt existing as to Becker's guirt he certainly was entitled to the fair est trial which he did not get under Justice Golf"
 Virtually all of the opinion was devoted to criticism of the New York justice.

PLEDGE IS FILED
 ONE DAY ID LATE
EMERY M. MARTIN MAY TAKE STEPS TOWARDS FORCING
 HIS NAME ON TICKET.
Had Intended Being Candidate on the Ticket for County Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Regardless of the published warn. ings relative to the requirement. which forced every candidate for county of flee to fife pledge with the county clerk, on or before Monday, else he could not have place ol the ticket, Emery Martin, a candidate for coun ty superintendent of public instruc- ton, did not file his pledge on that day.
 Yesterday morning he visited the office of the county clerk. looked over the law and found himself in a di- lemma. He discussed the matter with County Clerk Davis and County Judge Mooney, both of whom went over the raw with him. It seemed plain that the time for him to file the pledge had lapsed, and that there was moth. ing that could be done ia the maa ter
 MT. Martin then engaged the ad- vice of his own attorney in the mat ter and as a result filled out the re- quired pledge and submitted it to County Clerk Davis for file The coun- ey clerk was uncertain as to receiving it after the date had lapsed, but did accept the pledge for file, however designating thereon the fact that it had not been filed within the required time.
 That puts the matter up to the county democratic central committee as to whether the name shall go on the ticket or not, of course, after the state law on the subject is taken into consideration. The attorney gen eral has issued one opinion on this subject and that opinion probably will he sent for il it's official form, that the county committee might be guided thereby in their action here.

ROAD DISTRICTS
 REPORT TONIGHT
suelngss MEMS LEAGUE WILL HEAR FROM THE IMPROVE
 MENT DISTRICTS NAMED.
Question of What Progress Has Been Made Will Be Answered Tonight When Committees Report.

Since committees have been desig- mated to survey the probabilities Of forming road improvement districts on almost every road leading out of the city, and these committees were told to make their report to the Busi- ness Mems League tonight, this meet ing should be of more than usual in. terest
 The enthusiasts on the road ques- ton very much desire that every com mittee shall be heard from. Make the report, whether it is good or bad, or whether any progress has been made. It will be upon the reports submitted to the League tonight that it will be determined whether the road improvement district plan is suf- ficiently popular with the people to result in the building of good roads in the county.
 Particular interest will attach to the reports made on the proposed Little Rock highway and the roadway to Mountain Valley township. The for mer is urged beyond all others, and the latter would make a most splen, did driveway from the city, besides opeening the way for good travel to two of the first-class out-of-tor>a te. sorts of the county.
 President Hamp Williams, who has named a number of committees to take the preliminary steps towards the formation of improvement dis, tricts, urges that some attorneys in terested in the cause be presenpt to- night and msAe answer as to what shall be done where road districts conflict.
 In the case of the Smith Ferry road and the Higdon raod, they are not one and one-half miles apart at many places. taeref6re if the district is to extend that far on either side, there must be some arrangement made as to where the dividing lins shall be. The same condition applies to part of the Malvern avenue and the Shady Grove districts, where in many places they would overlap.
 The matter of determining where the dividing line of the district under such circumstances, shall be. will be one of the important matters to be taken up tonight.

RUMOR THAT HE IS AFRAID TO DELIVER BODY THAT WOUNDS
 MAY BE EXAMINED.
CALLS IT RESPECT ID DEAD
Body Might Show One Bullet Wound Inflicted in Stomach By Villa Rath. CT That the Wounds Inflicted in Usual Form by Firing Squad.

El Paso, Tex, Feb. 24.-Gen. Fran cisco Villa al Chihuahua today refus. ed to give Up the body of Wm. S. Ben. ton, a British subject executed in Juarez several days ago. His reasons embodied in a private telegram have aroused bitter feeling along the bord. CT
 ! will not give up tine body out of respect to the dead,' Villas message said. Tt was inferred with alr re1i- gious observances and a cross erect ed over it, and will not allow the saerilege of it's removal"
 This word came in response to a telegram sent by one of Villas sub- ordinates at Juarez informing him that no personal idea should keep him from permitting the transfer of the body to the widow and informing him that perhaps he was not familiar with the storm of criticism that had greet ed his failure to do so.
 A definite refusal to give up the body was received by consular rep resentative of the United States late today and forwarded to Washington. The explanation rame to Juarez.
 Many persons here today said the refusal indicated to their minds that Benton was shot by Villa, and that he feared to deliver the body lest it's condition indicate the manner of death as other than by court martial.
 It is hoped that within day or two the statement Of d competent witness to the shooting, alleged by enemies of Villa to have taken place in his head quarters, may be obtained Ameri- cans and representatives of the Mexi- can federal government are working to this end.
 Villas statement telegraphed from Chihuahua today that Benton was guilty of four murders and making a charge of cattle stealing was receiv- ed by Benton's friends with dcrision. Three who knew Benton intimately asserted no charge of the sort ever had been brought against the English man.
 United States secret service men today received information indicating that Gustav Bauch has met a fate similar to Benton's. Thomas D. Ed wards, consul at Juarez has been as sured repeatedly that Bauch was safe in Chihuahua awaiting a review of his case wherein he is charged with being spy.
 Meantime Mir Letcher, consul at Chihuahua, after search of jails and barracks, and diligent inquiry, has been unable to find Bauch. Villa. in an interview last night asserted to newspaper men that he had not talk en the German-American from Juarez at all.

do that He said other interests

do that He said other interests might object
 To this Mir Williams explained that when the city undertook to remove the tracks the railroad company went into chancery court to protect the spurs.
 City Attorney Mclaughlin. speak ing from the viewpoint of tax pay CT, said he would not he in favor of giving the Iron Mountain one inch of the streets He did not believe the city could do this legally, and certain ly he would lend his influence against it. He said that he would also oppose closing up streets for the railroad. The railroad could build viaducts, as was done in other cities
 Dr Laws, who anticipates the re- building of the splendid Ozark Sani- tarium, stated that he would object most seriously to the railroad putting it's depot further up in the city than it's own line. He saw in the plans where the railroad wanted to move the passenger depot up in the street and then use it's former depot site for a freight house, thereby injuring ma trially the improvement he had anti cipated making.
 Alderman Petit believed that the railroads should be encouraged to move further out, in a hotel resort like Hot Springs, farther than encour- aged to come closer in. He said that the railroads made no effort to oper- ate quietly in the hours when visitors were at rest.
 E. Nj. Cohen, who with MT. Simon Cooper had gone to St. Louis as a committee from the Business Mems I league railroad committee, thought the plans should be approved, as they had been gone over carefully and seemed to be tho best thing to do in the matter.
 Others, however, did not agree with the plans, and when the meeting ad- iourned. it was announced that the plans would be left with the city clerk so that any citizen interested might view them and give them such further consideration as they beiev- ed should be given them.
