mrs. ELDER IS JAILED
PROMINENT WOMAN is HELD IN
ATLANTA ON THEFT CHARGE.
Believed to Be Responsible For Dis
appearance of Jewels From a
Private Sanitarimm.

ATLANTA.-The disappearance of
jewels valued at $500 from an At
lanta private sanitarium and the ar
rest in Macon of Mrs. w. A. Elder,
formerly of Indian Springs, Ca,
charged with the theft, has caused
a stir in Atlanta. Mrs. Elder, hand
some woman about 40 years of age,
and who is prominently connected,
denies any knowledge of the theft.
She is locked up in the Fulton coun-
ty tower and is a patient in the hos
pital ward there, suffering from
shame at her arrest.
Mrs. j. w. Harland, a society wo-
man, went to the sanitarium for an
operation, taking with her the jewels.
She decided to deposit the gems in
the sanitarium safe, and gave them
to Mrs. L. c. Jocelyn, the superin-
tendent, for this purpose. Mrs. Joce-
Ign took the jewels into the dining
room, where she occupied a table
with Mrs. Elder, who was housekeep-
er for the hospital. Mrs. Jocelyn was
called to the telephone and left the
jewels on the table. A few minutes
later they were gone. Mrs. Elder
denied having seen the gems, but a
few days later she resigned her posi-
ton and left the sanitarium.
On Wednesday Mrs. Elder was ar
rested in Macon and brought back
to Atlanta. None of the jewels were
found in her possession. Macon de-
tectives are searching for them.

CALLS THEM MISGUIDED WOMEN
New York Rabbits Attack on WO-
man Suffrage. Catholic Church
Opposes, Too.


There are a number of misguided
women interested in the suffrage
movement, and to them l want to
say, estimable women, as many of
them are, that if the women are ac-
corded the privilege of the ballot the
majority of the women who will vote
will be those who advocate free love,
and the result will be that women
will become unsexed, declared Rab-
bi Silverman, of Temple Emanuel,
New York, last Sunday, in the
course of an attack upon woman suf-
frage, feminism and socialism.
'At all hazards we must oppose
these movements" he went on to
say. They are subversive of the
best interest of the child, and will de-
stroy all that God and man have in
past years built up. l call on you
to rise in your might, to use every
means at your command to sweep
these movements from the face of
the earth. The campaign for woman
suffrage is a mere food for the fur
therance of this nefarious program
for the so-calIed emancipation of
women, and if the ballot is given to
women it will be considered a victory
for the feminist movement.
at is a significant fact that the
Catholic church has opposed the fem
mist movement, the suffrage move
ment and socialism. No good Cath
Ollie lends his support to either of
them. The Catholic church, with its
knowledge of human nature, sensed
the evil and recognized the danger
of what will follow. I call on all
Protestant churches as well to join
in opposing these three movements.

Prospects Not Encouraging.
SAVANNAH, Ga.-The Morning
News says that with the great potash
fields of Germany completely cut off
from American consumers and a GER
tainty of being forced to carry over
perhaps one-fourth of the cotton crop
the farmers of the South are facing
prospects for next year that are far
short of encouraging. 1t is believed,
however, that some solution of the
situation will be so worked out as
to prevent disastrous effect.
Fertilizer dealers of Savannah
have large sums of money out on ac-
counts due them for fertilizers which
they sold to the farmers for the pres
ent crop. The heaviest dealers, it is
said each have accepted notes aggre-
eating one million dollars. Unless
means are provided for transporting
the cotton to markets the farmers
not only will be in difficulties to
make the payments when they fall
due, but will also be greatly handi-
capped in securing fertilizers for the
next crop.
No Potash Coming in.
Importations of the various kinds
of potash into this port from Ger
many, the world-source, have been
stopped for an indefinite length of
time. Some idea of the amount i'm
ported at Savannah and its value is
given in the following table for the
last fiscal year, beginning July 1,

month. In July 2,562,OO0 pounds
were brought in, valued at $44,543.
Not expecting the state of conditions
that have resulted from the war in
Europe brokers in potash had no
large supply on hand. 1t was said
by one of them yesterday that there
is in the country at the present time
not more than one-third of the
amount necessary to meet the usual
requirements in the manufacture OF
commercial fertilizers.

clared that there is adequate power
under existing laws to issue enough
currency through national banks to

iterated his statement that it is mot
necessary to extend the note issuing

He pointed out that he has power
to issue one billion dollars of add

This plan ought to enable the
farmers to pick and market the cot

urged upon all these interests.
The farmer cannot expect as higf

not be forced to sacrifice his crop.

heavy question for the decision OF
Collector OF Customs John b. Whelan.
