Lochlear has taught the world by
startling it, lie first won fame by
stopping from one airplane to another
in flight After that he discovered new
and hitherto undreamed-of possibin-

Investigation of records at the

a few months before his sudden

ton for liquidation, Crawford
Wheatley president of the CONNER
cial City Bank of Americas, trans
ferrcd practically all his real estate

In this connection it also has be-
come known that life insurance poll
cies aggregating several thousand
dollars which had originally been
made payable to his estate, had also
been changed by him so as to make
his wife and son the beneficiaries.
Transfer Of the real estate hold
ings, it is ssid, was made Immediately
following a decision of the Supreme
court of Georgia in the case of W.
E. Mitchell versus Crawford Wheat
ley and the Commercial City Bank,
in which Mitchell sought to recover
damages for alleged libel, the case
going before the Supreme court on
demurrer, and it being held that
Mitchell's complaint should be
held before a jury. The transfer of
his holdings, Wheatley's friends aver
was merely a matter of business pre-.
caution taken against the possibility
Of an adverse verdict being render
ed upon the trial of the case on its
merits. This motive, it is said, also
influenced the change of the bene-

insurance carried by the deceased
banker had not been paid today, al
though practically the whole of the
life insurance totalling $858,0O0
had already been paid to the bena.

HOUSEWIVES OF

A movement to put 4 stop to
inordinant demands of hoGse ser
wants is appearing in places
throughout the South, and it is re-
ported that the matter of Ameri-
Gus housewives joining in the move
ment will be presented to the
Americus Woman's club sohrtly by
one or more interested members.
The subject is already being dis
cussed by prominent women in
this city. The following news
story from Fitzgerald tells some
thing of the feeling elsewhere on
the subject:
Because of the fact that cooks
have become so Independent and
demand 50 much from their en-
ployers, the Fitzgerald Woman's
club is considering a plan to make
them come to time and to call
halt on their demands.
''It has become so bad here that
on rainy days servants refuse to
come to work and many of them
demand to be carried to and from
work in automobiles, claiming it
it too far to walk. If the plan
Of the Woman's club is put into
effect no more Of them will be
hauled to and from work.
'They will also adopt a stan
dard of wages to be paid and the
cooks will not be allowed to car
ry enough cooked food home each
day to feed a family Of five peo-
pie.
Mrs. Lon Dickey, president of
the Woman's club, has promised
to bring the matter up for discus
sion and to see if concerted ac-
ton can be had by all the house
wives"
