being detained by the Camden authori-
ties In connection with the investigation
into the murder of David 8. Paul, n
bank messenger whose body was found
buried in the Jersey pines. James is the
last man known by the police to have
seen Paul alive, and is known TO have
driven him to the Camden ferry on
October s, the day the messenger dis
appeared.
Prosecutor Wolverton said tonight
that James had given him valuable in
formation regarding Paul. The prosecu-

searching the scene of the burial OF the
murdered messenger, found a small
stained strip of upholstery tape which
appeared to have been torn from an au-
tomobiie seat. 1t was found near the
grave in which Paul's body was discov-

Of the most important pieces of evidence

Paul showed James a bandaged wrist
The bandage. he explained, was put on

that In order TO right" himself with

had broken an engagement for trip tc
Allentown. he had planned TO go see one

When Paul's body was unearthed
Saturday the bandage was still on his
wrist. This led the officials to believe
that Paul met the women and that he
must have remained with them during
the next eleven days or that they must
have been in constant communication
with him. which would explain why
Paul should keep the bandage on for
that length OF time.

BANKERS DISCUSS
U. S. TAX REVISION
Financial Relief of Farming
Interests Also Stressed at
Convention.

Robert Maddox Suggests For
nation Of Cotton Export
Association.

WASHINGTON, Oct 19--Discussion Of
Federal taxation revision and financial
relief for the agricultural interests was
pressed to the fore to-day before the
convention OF the American Bankers
Association. Suggested changes In tax
laws, however, were indefinite, although
some Of them probably will be dealt
with in resolutions to be considered
Thursday.
Secretary Meredith's speech pleading
for a square deal for farmers by the
banking interests opened the way for
several informal meetings by rural
bankers. While none Of these crystal
liked into a settled plan. representatives
of bankers in the cotton States decided
upon a general mass meeting for to-
morrow night, at which their particu-
lar difficulties and those of their pro-
Queer customers will be taken up.
Robert Maddox, Atlanta banker. de-
clared that the South was not nearly
SO broke as 1t has been made to APP
pear" Banker and cotton producer
alike should take an offensive rather
than a defensive stand, he said, and he
predicted that the creation of senti-
ment Of optimism among them would
greatly enhance cotton values.
Only Practical Solution.
Mr.. Mnddox. however said he appre-
ciatai the situation said to be facing
the cotton growers, and that there APP

SEASICKNESS

g EASICKNESS is a disagreeable
- malady which is caused by the
stomach losing it's equilibrium and so
forth. People do not always miss the
equilibrium at first, but this is not
true of the SO forth.
Seasickness almost always results
from coming in contact with water
which refuses to lie fiat. There is
nothing more terrifying than large
body of water which stands first on
one leg and then on the other and
causes the apprehensive tourist to
wish that he had been carried off by
the humps in early youth. 1t would
seem that science could discover some
method of preventing the ocean from
rising up and driving inoffensive pas
sengers away from q table d'hote din
ner which was paid for before leaving
the dock, but it has not been able to
do so. This teaches us that science
is of about as much use to the aver
age citizen as the Interstate commerce
commission.
Seaslckness usually sets in as soon
as the three-mile limit is passed, and
dies lingering death on reaching
the Irish channel. There are several
successful cures for this ailment,
however, and after a man has tried
them all he will be in sight of land
and will feel considerably improved.
Many a person has. started on an
ocean voyage relying upon some cure
for seasickness recommended by
