AN OPEN LETTER TO EX.GOV.
ERNOR E. F. NOEL.
Clear Cut Letter From Capt. ". X,
Gildart, Ext Confederate Soldier
and Long a Supporter Of
Vardaman.

Greenville, Miss, Aug. 20, 1917.
Hon. E. F. Noel, Lexington, Miss.
Ny Dear Governor Noel: l have al
ways been a Vardaman man, but l
am an American first, and it is in a
spirit of broad Americanism that l
write you this letter.
l take it that you will agree with
the solemn conclusion to which l came
some months ago, namely, that next
to doing her share towards winning
the war, Mississippi's chief duty now
confronting her is to defeat the junior
senator for reelection. 1t must not be
permitted to go out to the world at
large that treason can flourish in Mis-
sissippi.
For four years l followed Lee in
Virginia. You, Captain Noel, eagerly
responded to your country's call in '98
and served under the younger Lee. In
your regiment l had a son. Recently
l have given to the army my youngest
son, the staff of my declining years.
But l do it gladly. This is an age of
sacrifice, and it is in that spirit Of
sacrifice that l urge you to withdraw
your candidacy for the senate and
throw your support to that younger
a~spirant, Honorable Pat Harrison.
l beg of you to help present an un-
divided front for the coming contest.
If you stay in the race it will not be
possible to make a clean-cut issue on
the question of loyalty to the flag.
Outside issues will be dragged in and
all to the advantage Of Vardaman
who will be quick to seize any oppor-
tunity to obscure the real issues. Mr..
Harrison's record is unassailable. He
was himself nee a staunch supporter
Of the junior senator, and has from
the beginning of President Wilson's
administration stood close to him.
On him can unite all Of us who refuse
to admit that "America is stabbing
Germany in the back" but if you run
a division of patriotic forces is newt
able.
You have observed how quick we all
are to gasp any renort which comes
from Germany of ~dissension in the
Imperial Government. Just 50 will the

SENATOR KING PUSHING
PROBE OF D. c. MARKETS
Will Make Effort to Have District
Committee Hold a Meet
ing Tomorrow.

Senator King of Utah will make an
effort to have the subcommittee Of the
Senate District committee in charge of
his resolution for an investigation into
market conditions in the District hold
a meeting tomorrow.
IT am hopeful that the subcommittee
will report the resolution favorably to
the full committee and that the COM
mittee in turn will report it to the
Senate, and that it will be adopted.
said Senator King today.
'tOf course. the Senate District COM
mittee has authority to go ahead and
investigate the market conditions here
and to look into the title to the Wash
ington market now. But if money is
needed to conduct the investigation we
must get 1t from the Senate.
MY idea is that the investigation could
well be made by a committee of three
senator's. 1t means considerable work
for those senator's. But l believe that it
would be repaid. There is no doubt hut
what the people of the capital are paying
too much for their foodstuffs, due to mid
dlemen and food SPECTATORS.
"TLSre should be established Il munich
pal market here where the consumers
would be brought into as direct contact as
possible with the producers. eliminating
middlemen and their commi ssions
believe that the District could well en-
ploy an agent to purchase foodstuffs if
necessary and sell them at reasonable
prices to the people. if necessary to keep
prices down."

GERMAN PLEA FOR GOLD
NOT BRINGING RESULTS
Subjects Of the Kaiser Seem Unwill-
ing to Give Up Their
Jewelry.

AMSTERDAM. July 27.-The daily re-
curing public notices printed in con-
spicuous type in German newspapers
entreating citizens to aid the father
land by giving it their gold evidently
Is insufficient of productive results.
The Weser Zeitung of Bremen pub
fishes a renewed appeal complaining
especially that the well-to-do public
still fails to realize tho situation and
that all gold must be handed in.
The newspaper cites examples Of
members of the German imperial and
royal princely houses sacrificing their
gold and jewelry and says competent
authorities calculate that three to four
hundred million gold coins are being
obstinately boarded in Germany, while
the value of gold ornaments Is esti-
mated at billion marks.
The Weser Zeitung says the public
often asks whether gold cannot be
loaned instead of given to the German
imperial bank. The answer is no, be-
cause the law demands gold as
cover for paper money and that it
must be In bars or coin. The public is
again urged to yield Jewels Of all kinds,
which realize good prices abroad and
are most useful for credit purposes

BOY Of z CONFESSES
SHOOTING COMPANION
Maurice Donaldson Tells Detective
How He and Wounded Lad Fixed
Up Story Of Affair.

Maurice Theodore Donaldson. twelve
years old, 1859 35th street. confessed to
Detective Stringfellow this morning
that he shot William Frizzell. a COM
panioa. who was reported to have been
struck by a stray bullet from a shot
fired on the Virginia side of the river
near Lock cove Wednesday afternoon.
The shooting occurred at James Cop
perthite's boathouse. near Fletchers.
where the boy companions were at
play, and the boys agreed to tell the
story of the shot having been fired
across the river.
Their story of the affair was that
FrizZell was in boat near the shore
when he was shot and that his COM
panion went on the river and brought
him ashore. They then told of how
they walked in the direction of the
car line to go to Georgetown Uniyer-
passing motoriSt and had him take
them to that institution.
During the investigation of the af-
fair yesterday, and while the de-
tective was crossing the river. he
stated, he doubted the truth of the
story and suggested that Donaldson
fred the shot. Young Donaldson and
the patient at the hospital declared to
the contrary, however, and it was not
until this morning, when Mrs. FriZzell
visited her son and told of a dream
she had of the shooting. that he adj

1t appears that Donaldson was left
in charge Of Copperthite's premises
Wednesday afternoon. and that Fritz
zell locked him in the house. Finding
Il loaded weapon in the house. Dom
aldson called to Frizzell that he would
shoot unless he opened the door. The
door was not opened and the shot was
fired, the bullet spending it's force in
making a hole through the door and
preventing the possible killing of Fritz
zell
The wounded boy unfastened the
door after he was shot. the boys agreed
upon a story to tell. the hole in the
door was plugged with a piece of wood
and they started in the direction of
the car line Detective Stringfellow

CRITICISED IN SENATE FOR
SUGGESTION IN ALETTER
Ambassador Spring Rice's Reply to
a Request About Portland Har-
Dor Causes a Furry.

The British ambassador, Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, was criticised in the Sem
ate yesterday for q letter in which he
suggested that the Canadian govern
ment would be glad to see the facilities
of Portland harbor, Me-, improved, on
the ground that the harbor would be
of great service during the period that
navigation on the ST. Lawrence is
closed.
The ambassadors letter was injected
into the debate on the river and harbor
bill. while Senator Sherman of Illinois
was addressing the Senate in opposition
to the measure.
Senator Hale of Maine challenged
statement by Senator Sherman that
none Of the items in the bill could be
considered war emergency measures
and referred to the proposed improve
ment OF Portland harbor, and presented
a letter from the British ambassador
in regard to it. The letter was adj
dressed to Senator Hale. as he explain
ed. at his request for information.
When Senator Hale read the letter
Senator King Of Utah remarked:
Caustic Comment.
IF the only ground upon which this
appropriation can be defended is let
ter from the British amba ssador, not
withdrawing the English are our allies
in this contest. I should not feel like
voting for the measure. 1t seems to
me that this is an fmpertinence on the
part of the British ambassador to in
trude into this matter"
Senator Sherman's remark was equal
1y caustic, for he said:
This is, to my mind, an intrusion.
SackyilIe West was recalled from
Washington because of a similar Of
Tense. For my part, 1 am willing to
let England take our money. but 1 am
not willing to take England's advice
THE senator from Utah used the word
fnpertinence without justification. I
think" said Senator Knox. Il suggest
that he withdraw it."
Senator McCumber also suggested
there had been no improperly in the
act of the ambassador.
