STRENGTH OF FINANCIAL
POWERS DEMONSTRATED

New York. Sept. THAT the financial
powers are determined to leave no stone
unturned to restrict credits to constructs
i've and productive purposes was again
demonstrated this week when the stock
exchange took steps to that same end.
BY daily examination Of the loans
of it's members the exchange hopes to re-
duce speculation to exceedingly moderate
dimensions. thereby aiding the federal au-
thorities and local money poo, in the WORK
of furtherng government requirements.
1t was understood that the restrictions
of the monetary interests would extend
to other markets, including cotton, which
made its most spectacular movement dur
ing the week. following the adverse crop
report. Previous to the action of the
stock exchange the market gave much
evidence Of its disposition to break into
new high ground. United States Steel
among the ndustrials and Union Pacific
and Canadian Pacific among the rails at
taincd highest prices of the year, their
advance being accompanied by many sub
stantial gains in other quarters. Fur
ther improvement il the military situa-
ton abroad impaired additional strength
to international war fotations and ex-
change rates to allied centers. Inciden-
tally remittances to most of the neutral
countries displayed concurrent weakness.
Acceptace by the railway executives Of
the federal contract draft settled q con-
troversy of long standing, although the
terms involved are far from satisfactory
to many large holders of railway securi-
ties.

ELIJAH II. RELEASED
FROM FEDERAL PRISON

! Atlanta, Ga. Sept 7.-Carrying a
small basket in one hand and suit
case in the other, "Elijah H." as Rev.
Frank w. Sanford, of the Holy Ghost
and Us society,"" styles himself, walked
from the federal prison free man,
having paid the penalty according to
the laws of man for carrying a number
Of his followers on mad voyage in
ship so i'll equipped and provisioned
that many of them died horrible deaths
on the high seas. Sanford had prom
ised them that "the Lord would pro-
vide like He did in Elijah's time"
Sanford was convicted for violation
of the maritime laws In the federal
district court of Maine and has served
six years and eight months of ten
year sentence. His allowance for good
conduct reduced this sentence nearly
one-third. Throughout his prison term
he has been most exemplary pris-
oner. He preached many sermons to
his fellow inmates, and whenever the
word went out that "Elijah Is going
to preach" crowd quickly assem-
bled.
On his departure Sanford was no
longer the bearded and giant-sized
prophet. Long confinement made him
slim and only small closely trimmed
mustache covers his lips. He was
neatly dressed and looked to be his Sc
years.
After bidding good-by to Warden
Zerbst and one or two others of the
prison Office he walked to the car line
and then turned down blind road
through the woods, evidently deter
mined to escape any interview.
When reminded that his friends inl
Maine would be interested in hearing
of his plans, he nervously replied:
II never talk to reporters. l don't
even talk to my friends"
He had told Warden Zerbst that he
wanted to go away quietly and with
out publicity.

With the American Army on the

ditional forces and supplies were
brought up by both the Americans and
the French during last night and early
today the Franco American line was
again advanced. The allied artillery

been for two weeks. In the Vosges,
however, the firing activity decreased.

airplane that was shot down by the
French and fell within the American
lines were captured today by American
troops.
American patrols had a sharp en-
counter with an enemy ambushiug
party last night. Another enemy patrol
approached the American wire, but
beat hasty retreat when 1t was fired
upon.
In Unerring Certainty.
The Franco American line continued
to close slowly but with unerring cer-
tainty about the German left flank
that had clung to the sector to the
west of Rheims. Particularly deter
mined resistance was displayed by the
enemy remaining at the point In tho
angle made by the line swinging up
ward toward the Aisne. The Germans
used their artillery late on Friday with
all possible vigor and their machine
gun crews defended the retreating
army point by point.

French and the Americans were ad- |
vanced early today.

PROHIBITION MEASURE
PASSED; NO R0LL-CALL
Now Goes to House, Which Is
Expected to Retain Dry
Rider.

Washington, Sept. THE $4,000.
900 emergency agricultural appropria-
ton bill, with it's rider for national
prohibition from next July until after
the American armies are demobilized
after the end of the war. was passed
last night by the senate without roll
call.
Before final passage of the measure
the senate voted, As to 6, to retain the
prohibition rider. A final effort to
postpone the effective date of the dry
legislation to Dec. 80, 1919, was de-
feated.
The bill now goes to the house and.
because of the many amendments in
serted by the senate, 1t undoubtedly
will be sent to conference. Prohibi-
tion leaders, however. expect the house
to agree to the dry" rider, so that
there will be no possibility of changes
being made by the senate and house
managers.
Senators voting against retaining the
dry legislation in the bill wero
Rhode Island: Phelan. of California;
Pomerene, of Ohio. Ramdell, of Louis
lana, and Underwood, of Alabama,
while it was announced that many
members absent and paired favored
the amendment.
AS returned to the house the prohibi-
tion n,, clause Ia. compromise effected s. last
crs-would stop the sale of all intoxi-
eating beverages next June 30. except for
export. medicinal. sacramental and other
than beverage purposes. and would pro-
hibt the manufacture after May 1 next.
The compromise prohibition rider was
regarded the most important provision
of the emergency appropriation bill. 1t
was substituted for that of Representa-
tive Ranesdell. Of California. adopted by
the house last May. prohibiting use Of
the bilrs appropriations until the .presi-
the food control law to stop the manu-
facture of beer and wine as well as
whisky during the war as conserva-
tion measure.
senate conferees-all regarded friendly to
the legislation-were appointed: Gore Of
Oklahoma; Smith. Of South Car9lina;
Smith. of Georgia; Kenyon OF Iowa.
How long the hill would be in confer
ence was regarded doubtful. Prohibition
advocates believed 1t would soon go to
the president. The war revenue BIZ and
after its passage until about Oct. Is,
however, were admitted obstacles.
Eleventh hour efforts to TO-. extend tea the the
and disposal of stocks of Intoxicating
beverages were futile, the senate re-
jecting without a roll call an amendment

1919.
The senate also defeated an effort to-
ward federal payment for stocks OF dis
titled spirits remaining unsold June 30
1919 rejecting, 26 to Is, an amendment
by Senator Bankshead, of Alabama. pro-
posing presidential commission to report
to congress the actual value. not to ex-
ceed cost of such spirits. with a view to
an appropriation for reimbursement OF
owners.
