Father of Flock
OF "a Children
Gets MANY Letters

RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. 10.-Since
wide publicity has been given to
the fact that Reuben Bland. of Rob-
ersonville, Buford county, was the
father of thirty-four children, he and
Mrs. Bland have been deluged with
letters from persons all over the
United States and Canada.
The letters are frim both men and
women. A man in Ohio wrote:
81 read the story about your large
family aloud to my wife. There's
man who ought to be given a medal
L told her. There's a man who ought
to be hanged she retorted."
A writer in Oregon sent this:
Reuben, Reuben, am thinking,
You are quite nifty man,
To your health 1 am drinking.
You have done what few men can"
From Navarro, Ohio. Mr.. Bland re-
ceived this:
"I'm the father of eight children
and I have had an awful time keep
ing them in food and clothing. I've
worried a lot, but since reading about
your big family, I realize that I'm
lucky guy"

W. B. GREEN, OF
FAIRBURN, BEGINS
PRISON TIE R M

William B. Green, former vice
president of the Fairburn Banking
company, left Fairburn Saturday
morning for the state prison farm
at Milledgeville, to start serving five
years for embezzlement.
It was not yet daylight and cold
rain was falling through the dark
ness as Green and his brother,
George Green, accompanied by Sher-
if Jenkins, of Campbell county,
boarded the Central of Georgia train.
Just few minutes before Green
had said good-I = lis mother at
her cottage home where he has been
staying since his release under bonds
totalling $4,000.
Thus was written the last chapter
in the Fairburn bank cease that for
more than year was the sensation
of the state.
BY starting service of the embez-
Element sentence Green abandons his
long fight for freedom that resulted,
a few days ago, in denial of his ap-
peal {" new trial by the court of
appeals.
His counsel filed certiorari pro-
ceedings to this decision, seeking to
nave lIlS case IclSIISu " Tic SldIS
supreme court, but last week this
petition was withdrawn. No state
ment in explanation was made, but
it is understood Green at last had
decided to give up hope of liberty
and to go through with the penalty
for his alleged crime.
Green, arrested after the burn
ing of the Fairburn banking COM
pany in the autumn of 1919 and
charged by auditors with being
nearly 100000 short in his accounts
was indicted last February by the
Campbell county grand jury. With
him was indicted Mrs. Katherine
Queen Bradstreet, the woman on
whom he was accused of lavishing
the banks funds.
Green, charged with embezzlement
and arson, was tried on the embezzle-
ment count, found guilty and SEN
fenced to five years. The arson
charge was never pressed.
Mrs. Bradstreet, charged with en-
bezlement, was tried and found not
guilty. She is now living in At
lanta with her husband, Clarence
Bradstreet, and her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. p. Queen.

CHAS. s. BARRETT
IS ENDORSED FOR
CABINET PLACE
Necessity of Having South
erner Among Advisers
Urged on Harding-ButIer,
of N, G., Has Best Chance
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau.
623 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Reliable
reports from Marion, Ohio, that the
Harding cabinet slate has been brok-
en- again, and that the "certainties"
of a month ago are no longer GER
tainties, is now bringing renewed
activity in the south for recognition
Of that section in the Harding Off
cial family. 1t was learned here to-
day that the state commissioners Of
agriculture from practically all of the
southern states have joined in a sug-
gestion to the president-elect that
the agriculture portfolio should go
to a southern man.
Commissioner Graham, of North
Carolina, is given credit in republi-
can circles here for organizing the
movement among the state commits
sioners to get the claims Of the sec
ton before Mr.. Harding and his ad-
visors. Mr.. Graham, it will be re-
called, was among the North Caro-
lima democrats who endorsed former
senator Marion Butler. a republican
of that state, for the agriculture job
The south's effort to land the sec
rotary Of agriculture was checked
two or three weeks ago when there
came from Marion circumstant1al
stories that Mr.. Harding had definite
ly selected Henry Wallace, of Iowa,
for the place. 1t has since developed
that no definite selection was made,
and there Is now considerable doubt
that Mr.. Wallace will be named,
though he has unquestionably been
under consideration. There is Sill
good chance that a southern man Will
be selected, and it is generally ap-
preciated that if the south is to have
a cabinet place, the logical thing Will
be secretary of agriculture.
It was learned today that the
boomers of Former Senator Butler
both in and out Of North Carolina,
have put the boom under way again
following the news that reports OF
the selection. Of Mr.. WallacesWe In
error.
Charles s. Barrett. of Georgia, has
been Endorsed by number of south
ern farmers for the agriculture
post. A. T. Hert, of Kentucky; John
NJ. Morehead, of North Carolina, ana
Former Senator Butler, are the three
men whose claims are being steadily
pressed today. In this connection,
it is understood that representa-
tons have been made to Senator
Harding that Kentucky is not a
southern state" in the general ac-
ceptance of the term and there will
be some doubt about whether he has
recognized the south if he goes only
\ tc Kentucky. Tennessee Republicans
have been unable to agree On any
body from that state.

EXPOSE EVIDENCE
Of SIM FEM PLOT
WITH THE GERMANS
Ramifications of Scheme
Shown in Messages From
Count Bernstorff Regard
ing Delivery of Munitions

LONDON, Jan. -S.-Evidence that
the Sim Fein plotted with Germany
during the war was given out by
the government today in a 59-page
white book containing 100 documents.
The evidence indicated the Sim
Fein plotted With Germany for the
landing of arms and ammunition in
Ireland to be used in a rebellion
there.
The book contains many messages
sent by Count Won Bernstorff, then
German ambassador to the United
States. These show the wide rami-
fications of the plot.
One of the messages was said to
have been attached surreptitiously
by Bernstorff to message sent dur
ing the Lusitania negotiations and
said: John Dewey informed me there
is to be rising in Ireland Easter
Sunday G916). Send arms to Linn
erick."
Berlin replied April 6, 1915:
Gould land 10000 rifles and ammu-
milton at Tralee." This message also
mentioned signals to be used. Bern
storff replied April 10 that the Irish
desired that troops be landed in
Ireland, even if only a small num-
Der. A later message from German
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman said
it was impossible to land troops but
that 10000 rifles and 100000 cart
ridges could be supplied.
The white paper said all this in
formation fell into the hands of the
British government, that adequate
preparations were made. and the con-
signment Of munitions never reached
Ireland.
