MAY BUILD NITRATE
PLANT IN GEORGIA
Possibilities of Chattahoochee and
Savannah Rivers Being lnvesti-
gated by Government.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Recent
developments have served to direct
attention here to the possibility OF
the early development of water power
in the upper reaches of the Savannah
river. The presence of Patrick Cal
houn, the San Francisco railway mag
nate, in that section has led to re-
ports that he is seeking an invest
ment in water powers.
The possibility of the government
air nitrate plant, for which congress
appropriated 2O,OOO,OOO in the army
bill, being located on the Savannah
river is not being overlooked. SEN
ator E. D. Smith of South Carolina,
author of the provision which was
finally adopted, will make strong
effort to land the plant for his state.

HEIRESS FORCED TO
sign AWAY RICHES
DRUGCED AND HELD PRISONER
IN A NEWARK HOTEL. FOR
NAL CHARGES MADE.

NEW YORK.-Charges that Miss
Gertrude Claypoole, niece and heir
to one-ffth of the $10,000,000 estate
left by John w. Bookwalter of Co.
lumbus, Ohio, had been drugged, held
as a prisoner in a Newark hotel and
forced to sign away certain of her
rights in the estate were laid before
District Attorney Edward Swami to-
day. The complaint was made by
Judge J. M. Sheets of Columbus, Miss
Claypoole's attorney, as an out
growth of the contest over the es-
tate.
He alleges that Miss Claypoole,
who is AZ years old, was taken from
her hotel here to the office of a wo-
man, who administered drugs to her,
and at the attorneys Office was fore
ed to sign revocation Of the power of
attorney she had given an attorney,
and also revocation of the will.
Miss Claypoole was then taken, she
asserts, to a hotel in Newark, where
she was held a virtual prisoner for
two days. Her friends traced her
there, and telephoned the woman who
accompanied her that unless Miss
Claypoole was returned to them in
twenty-four hours they would notify
the police. At three o'clock the next
morning, according to the story, a
,1,o,,oo,o friapd of Miss C1aUnOo1e was
called to the door by taxicab driver,
who said he had "a woman to de-
liver" Miss Claypoole was in the
bottom of the taxicab, clothed only IN
her night clothes. She alleges she had
been carried down eleven stories on
the hotel fire escape.

NO STOCKINGS is CRISIS
PROMISED GEORGIA ANKLES
Limbs of Humanity in Grave Danger
of Going Unadorned.

The limbs of humanity in Georgia
are in graver danger of going una
dorned then ever before, according
to Atlanta hosiery dealers. The cri-
sis that confronts ankles of all kinds
is much more acute than was the dye
stuff problem year ago. To large
sure that question has been solv-
American manufacturers of
dye oducing serviceable colors,
though course, it is stated, not
quite so cheaply nor well.
While the dye shortage threatened
only the appearance of the goods
the present trouble strikes at the ex-
istence of the hosiery itself. Manu-
facturers, according to the Atlanta
dealers, cannot obtain needles for
the machines. Prior to the war the
needles were imported from England,
Germany and Austria; now they are
imported not at ALL And the discour-
aging feature about needles, say the
dealers, is that their very fragility,
which makes them so deft in knitting
stockings, likewise makes them prone
to breakage. And the stock in the
United States is fast being broken up.

STRANGE WOMAN
AMONG BATHERS
Masked Mermaid" Appears at Pied

Is a Strong Swimmer.

ATLANTA.-Who is the beau
tiful woman in the black tights and
the black mask who swims around
the lake in Piedmont Park every day
at shutdown?
The bathers in Piedmont lake are
simply crazy to find out the mystic
rious strangers identity, and their
curiosity has spread all over the city.
She comes to the lake in her auto
mobile and gets away without spec
tators finding out anything about her.
All the way around the lake she
swims-every afternoon. 1t is swim
of two miles or more, one to test the
strength of a powerful athlete, but
the mysterious water nymph makes
the distance without single pause
for rest, and when she comes down
the home stretch she is going faster
than she went at the start. Allan
tans have been unable to learn the
identity of the Masked Mermaid"

MEAT PRICES GOING UP;
HIGHER THAN EVER BEFORE
Predicted VIII Cost Most Next Month
Than in Civil War Days.

According to leading retailers and
big dealers in New York the present
outlook in the beef market indicates
that beginning July 1 and continuing
until the early part of September
meat prices will be higher than ever
before and steaks and other choice
cuts will be sold at prices higher than
during tn ewar between the states.
The reason for the forthcoming
enormous rise is attributed to an al
legged shortage of cattle in the west,
and also to the big quantities OF re-
frigerated and preserved meats
which have been sent overseas. An
other explanation offered was the diff
ficulties of transportation which have
sprung up since the railroads have
been taxed to capacity to handle the
great volume of freight caused by
''war business"

DEEPEST WELL EVER
DRILLED IN UNITED STATES
Reaches Down Mile and Half and
Will Be Much Deeper.

Reaches Down Mile and Half and
Will Be Much Deeper.
Oil and gas operators of Bradford,
Pa, are deeply interested in the deep
we'll being drilled on the Cummings
farm at Mcdonald by the Peoples
Natural Gas Co. The well, which is
now at a depth of 1850 feet, has as
yet failed to produce oil or gas, but
drilling operations continue.
Work on the well, which is the
deepest ever drilled in the United
States, was started in March, 1911,
and has been continuous since that
time. Officials Of the company stated
that the hole will go as deep as mon
ey and human ingenuity will drill it.,
and if a good supply of gas is found
another well will be drilled at once.
The well has cost the owners APP
proximately $4,000 to date. Drill
ing at such a great depth is not only
very slow, but very difficult, and it
was only last week that the drillers
succeeded in pulling a string of tools
from the we'll which had been lost
nine months.

Smith and HARDWICK
THRUST AT BLAKESLEE
BURLESON'S ASSISTANT ROUGH
LY HANDLED IN DEBATE ON
POSTAL MONEY BILL.

Observation-Disclosures Hoke
Smith and Tom Hardwick both paid
their respects today in the senate de-
bate on the postofice appropriation
bill to the administration of the post
Office department and especially to
Mr. Blakeslee, the fourth assistant
postmaster general. They sharply
criticised his handling of the rural
service.
Senator Smith referred to him as
this fourth-class postmaster and
when fellow senator whispered a
correction he amended the character
ization to "this fourth-class fourth
assistant postmaster general" adding
that he had more respect for a good
fourth-class postmaster.
Advocated by Hardwick.
Senator Hardwick, who is a mem
Der of the committee on postofices
and post roads, advocated the senate
committee amendment which would
make the installation of motor vehicle
service on any route depend upon the
declaration of the local road authori-
ties that the roads to be travelled
were in such condition as to give rea-
sonable assurance of uninterrupted
service.
No action was taken by the COM
mittee today on the aspersions Mr..
Blakeslee cast at the committee in
regard to railway mail pay. The pam
phlet copies of the original hearing
given Mr.. Blakeslee, in which he
charged members Of the committee
had yielded to railroad dictation, have
been suppressed by the committee.
Senator Hardwick declared during
the debate that Blakeslee's admins
tration of the rural service, and es-
pecially the policy of combining
horse-drawn vehicles and motor We
hicle routes, was so unpopular in
Georgia that the issue alone would be
sufficient to swing the state to the
republicans if it were at all close
Senators Bryan, of Florida, and Kern
of Indiana, defended the administra-
ton of the rural service.

FOURTEEN WHALES DIE
ON THE FLORIDA COAST
Big Fishes Were Driven on Pablo
Beach By School of Sharks.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-Driven in
to shallow water by a school of
sharks fourteen whales, ranging in
size from ten to twenty-five feet,
stranded along half mile stretch on
the Atlantic at Pablo Beach last
night. Unable to eXtricate them
selves the whales died during the
night.
Citizens of Pablo Beach, which is
a summer resort, were attracted by
a connection along the beach when
the sharks drove the whales ashore.
The monster school could be plainly
seen in the distance in the bright
moonlight.
1t is the first time in the memory
of the oldest inhabitants that such
an unusual occurrence has been re-
corded on the Florida sea coast. One
or two whales were stranded during
a storm about fifteen years ago, 1t
is recalled.

TN HEpIC1TURES ANDOU1T
By H. S. RYALL

The standard of picture plays presented during the coming week continue high grade. Many new releases, which have been in the making for months past, are offered.
 For instance, Frank Mcintyre appears in his most successful stage play, "The Travelling Salesman" at the Colonial to- morrow, Tuesday and Wednesday. Tc Mcintyre belongs the distinction of be- ing one of the very last of the success full stage stars to succumb to the motion picture.
 The Travelling Salesman" deals with a travelling man who finds himself In a little town on Christmas day and settles
 down resignedly to have the dullest time of his life. And then things begin to happen to him.
 The play is a remarkable mixture of comedy and drama. Dainty Dorothy Gish in "The Children of the Feud'' is at the Triangle the first half of the week.
 The play has much of its story laid up in the Cumberland mountains of Vir- ginia. It is almost the history of the Allans and their mountain domain, where in they ruled like the great barons of olden times, and held themselves above the law.
 Dorothy Gish plays the part of Peggy, the daughter of the old mountaineer.
 The Rialto offers Snow White Thursday, Friday and Saturday. This is a story that appeals directly to the young at heart. It is acted to large extent entirely by children. The story is delight fully unsophisticated and untheatrical.
 Clara Kimball Young comes to the Strand tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednes- day in her latest success, "The Rise of Susan."
 This is story of every day people with plenty of action. Susan is very beauti- ful as well as very good little girl, who supports her family by working in Madame Milletts fashionable shop. Mad anne Millett has social aspirations and
