Man THOUGHT
DEAD RETURNS
TO HIS HOME
Body Of Another Identified and
Buried, and the Estate
Settled.

WAfNESBORO, Miss, Sept. 9.-Re-
turning to his home here after a
mysterious disappearance OF more
than eighteen months and after he
had been regarded as dead and the
body of another man identified and
buried as his own and after his es-
tate had been officially administered
and settled. c. G. Green, sixty -one
years old, former banker and land
owner. declines TO say where he has
been since his disappearance.
The only statement he would make
for publication was:
Being heavily in debt when the war
came on and notes falling due on the
first OF the year. and being unable to
meet my obligations when due and
having horror of going into bank
ruptcy, | decided to go away for thirty
or sixty days until matters would per-
haps, adjust themselves to the times.
My health failed to such an extent
that | was unable to return at the
appointed time.
II did not hear a word from my
family or from any acquaintance for
more than twelve months. neither did
| let them hear from me. My family
heard from me only few days before
my return. yet | took them by sur
prise as they had not been advised
just when would return"
Green is suffering from rheumatism
and is somewhat worn out. He said
while he was among entire strangers
he could not have asked for or re-
ceived better treatment. He will i'm
mediatClr assume charge Of his bust
ness affairs.
Green left Mobile, Ala, January IL
1915. So far as can he ascertained
none Of his family or friends knew
where he was going or had seen or
heard from him since that date, until
he reappeared in Mobile.
A long search was conducted to To-
cate Green, but without success. Some
months after Green disappeared the
body of man found at Dadeville, Ala.
was identified, it was said, by Green's
son, Russell, as that of his father and
was buried at Huntsville where Green
lived before coming to Waynesboro.
Green's estate, at the time OF his
disappearance, consisted chiefly OF
lands in Mississippi. Oklahoma, Ala
bama and Texas and was valued at
about 100000. j. A. Leggett, a for
mer business partner of Green, was
the administrator of the estate, which
was finally settled up in Alabama
courts and the administrator and at
torneys were paid their fees, which
amounted to considerable sum, il
was said.

WEST VIRGINIA
TAKES PART IN
CAPITAL NEWS
Events Of Washington, D. c.,
Are Reported by Telegram's
Correspondent There.

WASHINGTON, Sept 9,-lt Will
be OF interest to West Nirginians to
note that one Of the drastic amend
ments to the revenue bin as passed
by the Senate this week, which ere
ated conformation among some OF
the diplomatic representatives OF the
allies. was the same in substance and
practically the same In form as the
Joint resolution In the House submit
ted by Congressman Sutherland M an
amendment to the chipping bill. Con
gresham Sutherland was one OF the
first members OF Congress TO make II
serious study of the foreign mail
problem and spent much time and la
Dor in looking up the matter before
introducing his resolution. II was
discussed In the committee OF the
House and received very favorable
attention, but was not included in
the shipping bill MS submitted for fear
OF causing fresh argument which
might defeat the passage OF the bin.
However. when the revenue bill
pnnscd the Senate 1t carried almost
the exact sutherland amendment. au-
thorizing the president. during war
in which the United States is not
engaged to withhold clearance from
all vessels which discriminate against
American shippers; to withhold priv
lcgcs from such nations an withhold
privileges accorded to other nations
from American ships. and to use the
army and navy II necessary to pre-
vent departure OF offending vessels
from United States ports. 1t is said
that In allied quarters in the capt
tai the enactment OF the law as
passed would have serious and far
reaching consequences. But, until
the retaliatory amendments become
n law with the presidents signature
the allies have practically nothing 10
protest about. This particular amend
inent IS considered OF such Import
ance that the whole range OF Amerl-
cas- foreign commerce is or may be
affected by IL. No more sweeping leg.
islation, II is said. has ever been
passed by Congress in times OF peace.

 Mrs. Muscot said further that the fire had been burning at least an hour before the passengers were informed Of the danger and the nee essity of getting into the life boats immediately. Mrs. Muscott cOrrob, orated other accounts of the fire that there was no panic. Although frightened, Inc passengers followed the orders Of the crew without qucs, ton.
 "I, was between three and four o'clocl, in the afternoon" Mrs. Mus cott said ln reviewing her exper- fences, when VIC were ordered to ge, into tho life boats immediately Co be taken Co the government dredge Colone Mitchell which lay off the oregon coast near Coos bay, and on which we were finally safely landed The flames were by thig time pour ing from the hull of the vessel and by the time the last passenger stepped from the deck of the Con gress into life boats, the soles ol her feet were blistered. Among the passengers were forty children. eight of them in the life boat we were in. The sea was perfectly calm and it was probably owing to this fact, and 10 ;he efficient manner in which the crew and officers conducted themselves that not one life was lost"
