HARRIS FINDS ABOUT
THINGS ON A VISIT

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 2S.-Gasoline

and cotton seed have gone up from So
to $40 per ton as the direct result of
Investigations conducted by the Fed
eral Trade commission, according to
W. J. Harris of Georgia, member Of
the commission, who passed through
this city today on his way back to
Washington.
While spending his vacation in Geor-
gia Commissioner Harris has been do
ing some quiet but effective work in
connection with the commissions in
curry into the high price of gasoline,
and his presence in Atlanta was of di-
rect and very timely benefit to local
automobilists when they found them
selves compelled to pay more for gaso-
lire than users in other cities in this
section of the country. In consequence
OF efforts by Commissioner Harris, the
local agents of the refining companies
consented to sell local retail dealers
at prices which would enable them to
sell to users on the same basis that

CRIME WITH BANKS
On THE INCREASE

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. Is
Crime committed against banks rep
resented in the American Bankers As
ISOLATION during the past year have
shown no marked increase, according
to the annual report of the Protective
Department at the convention of the
Association here today, and it was
further shown that large proportion
Of the burglaries and similar crimes
proved unsuccessful.
For the period from August 1, 1915.
to Sept. 1, this year, there was total
of 428 arrests and 907 convictions. The
report notes that the losses sustained
by members in connection with burgl-
aries amounted only to S7,754, while
the loss sustained by non-members
amounted to more than 100000.
Through 35 hold ups however, there was
a loss of $65,S21, and through nine
sneak thiefts loss of $26,5OO. The
department now has APO photographs
of criminals, comprising burglars,
holdup men, sneak thieves, ofrgers,
and bogus check operators, with a
complete record of each.
A large number of the crimes at
tempted against banks are due to care
lessness on the part of the banks in
permitting customers to use funds rep
resented in uncolelctable checks, &C
cording to the report, and it was rec
commended that this practice be discon-
tinued. Trouble is also caused through
the practice of leaving blank checks on
the counters, and it was urged that
this practice be modified by printing
across the face of such checks the
words Counter Check"

VERY LATEST "ALIBI'

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 28.-An At

from a vacation spent in the North
Carolina mountains and brought with
him the hides of three enormous rat
tlesnakes, uncorked new alibi when
several friends suggested that snake
skins are easily purchased from the
snake hunters of the Blue Ridge noun
tains who peddle them around the
summer resort hotel Turning the
snake hides so as to expose the under

grains of sand still clinging to the
skin, as proof that he slew the rat
tiers in their native lair, and did not
buy them from a mountaineer.

CHILDREN SMOKE CIGARS
AT MISSOURI FAIR

CAPE GIRORDEAU, Mo-, Sept. u.s.
Visitors to the county fair were treat
cd to an attraction that did not ap-
pear on the program when two chill
dren, one baby of less than two years
of age and the other a boy of about
six years of age, smoked big cigars
like veteran smokers.
The baby was in its mothers arms
and the boy was walking at her
side. The cigar the baby was smok-

terly until it was lighted. The little
boy puffed continually at his cigar,
taking it from his mouth frequently
while he commented upon attractions
that appealed to him. Both children
appeared in delicate health. Their
skins are yellow and drawn. The
family lives in a backwoods settle
ment.

GERMAN WONDER BOX
DOESN'T MOVE AFGHANS

CALCUTTA, Sept. 2S.-An engineer
who has just returned from Afghanis-
tan to Calcutta after stay of two
years in that country gives for the
first time some details regarding the
German mission which went to Kabul
in the early days of the war in the
hope of wooing the Amir from his neu-
trality.
The mission, he said, was undoubt-
eddy sent to Afahanistan with the OBJ
ject of upsetting the Government of
India on the frontier. The Germans
had with them in Agghanistan, as we'll
as in Persia, a dummy wireless ap-
Iaratus-a box by means of which they
said they received news daily from
Berlin and from Mesopotamia. But
this story did not deceive the Amir,
and the Germans found that they had
shrewd man to deal with, rather
than a young boy Shah, as in the case
of their comrades in Persia.
Questioned as to their apparatus,
they said that this particular machine
did not need wires of any sort, nor
masts nor anything else; but when in
credulity was expressed, and they
were asked to demonstrate the powers
of their wonderful machine, they had
to fall back on the excuse that the
apparatus had broken down.
All the missions efforts to cause
trouble were in vain, and after being
in the country about six months the
discounted Germans were obliged to
depart The party was split into two,
and sent out of Afghanistan by liffer-
ent routes.
While the Germans were in KabM
they had many conversations with the
Amir and Government officials, and
During their stay the Amir opened a
Parliament to give the people an OPP
portunity to voice their opinions, and
to this Parliament he announced his
intention to remain neutral, and to
have nothing whatever to do with the
Germans in the future. The feeling of
the people veered round, land little in
cidents which had shown lack of
sympathy with the British ceased to
occur.

MEMPHIS MAY PRODUCE
OWN CURRENT AT 6 1-2 CENTS

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 2S.-Wheth-
er Memphis will have municipal ell
ectric light plant will probably be de-
finitey determined next month. The
city has failed to reach a rate agree
ment with local private owned electric
companies and bonds to the amount of
$1,500,O00O for municipal plant have
been authorized, but their sale has
been hold up pending further negotia-
tions with the private companies.
The municipal electric plant of
Cleveland, o., has been brought for
ward as an example of the benefits
accruing to a city owning its plant
The revenue of the Cleveland plant for
1915 amounted to $528, S56.64, while
the cost of operation was $311, 1888,
leaving a net revenue of $217,72141.
The rates for light in Cleveland are
considerably lower than the rates in
Memphis and it is estimated that a
municipal plant such as has been pro-
posed for this city can give consum-
ers six and half cent lighting rate.
