Federal and County
Officials Looking for
Former Governor Cats

PENSACOLA, Fla, May 19.-As a
result Of the indictment of, Sidney J.
Cats, former governor of Florida, by
the federal grand jury here yester-
Gay on two counts which charged
Mr.. Cats with having held two ne
sroeS In peonage, the former chief
executive is being sought both by
the federal authorities and the au-
thorlt1es of Bradford county. He re-
Gently was indicted by the Brad
1ord grand Jury for the alleged
acceptance of 500 from a life
term convict for his influence in OBJ
tanning pardon for the convict.
The authorities do not know the
whereabouts of Mr.. Cats and the
last time he was seen in Florida, so
lar as is known here, was several
weeks ago when he visited his former
home in Walton county.
Inc specihc charge against the
former governor in the peonage case
is that he held in state of involun-
tary servitude Ed Brown and John
Henry Rodgers, and forced them to
work on his plantation in Walton
county for period of several
months. The negroes. both former
convicts, were pardoned while Mr..
Cats was governor and chairman Of
the state board of pardons 1t is al
legged that when they were relea sed
from the state prison the negroes
were taken into custody by agents
of Mr.. Cats and transported to his
plantation, where they were put to
work.
There they remained until a few
weeks ago. Both appeared before thu
grand jury and Rodgers previously
had testified before the special Iegis-
ative committee investigating the
conduct CT Mr. Cats while in office.
Mr.. Cats term as governor expired
January 3, last.

MALE-GARBED GIRL
AND HUSBAND HELD

In spite of the large, round moon
that beamed graciously Wednesday
night-in spite of the honeymoon
that still adorned the matrimonial
skies of Mr.. and Mrs. Davis Bon
nerd-in spite of the fact that they
two took the high road alone, not
long before midnight, and she wear
ing pants, at that-in spite Of all
these concomitants Of romance, 1t
turned out to be a most matter
of-fact and material excursion; and
it ended somewhat gloomily in the
police station.
Their trial was set for Thursday
afternoon in the recorders court,
and the charge was nothing more
esthetic than idling and lettering;
Mrs. Bonnerd wasn't even censured
by the law for the pants; but she
did change into skirts as soon as
practicable, and was wearing femi-
nine habilaments Thursday morning
when interviewed, nor would she
don the trousers of her sisters
brother again, for being photo
graphed.
The story Of the Bonnerd's is a
as it is conducive to their present
plight.
my husband was out of work
here" said Mrs. Bonnerd, land he
had been sick and in the hospital,
and we were out of money, and he
dale mills, in Porterdale, AZ miles
away, and we had no other way of
getting there, so we started to walk.
I put on pants to make the walking
easier. 1t didn't make it very easy,
at that. We had got about to Kirk
enough. Now I don't know what
we will do. Maybe the police do.
They arrested us. I am glad they
sent the wagon for us. I couldn't
have walked much farther
The Bonnerds were married March
Is. For honeymoon they came to
Atlanta and he went to work for a
small paper mill out on Marietta
street. He got sick and had to go
to the Grady hospital. When he was
able to be out, his money was gone
and the job, too. They were living
with his relatives at IL Garnett
street. The job turned up in Porter
dale, Bonnerd told the police, but
walk
Irving Wood, Bonnerds sisters
brother, started out with the pair
Wednesday night, under a fine moon
in cloudless sky. Mrs. Bonnerd
was more or less tastefully attired in
a pair of Mr.. Woods trousers, o. d.
shirt, a cap and blue sweater
They tramped along for what
seemed to Mrs. Bonnerd a long, long
time and then were hailed by Off
GERS Williams and Wills, patrolling
In flivver along DeKalb avenue,
near Kirkwood. 1t then was about 2
o'clock in the morning and the off,
GERS investigated. That is. they in
vestigated the Bonnefds. Mr.. Wood
took to his heels at the first alarm
and disappeared.
The Bonnerds were taken to the
ponce station and held under a
charge of idling and lettering.
It's the first time I ever wore a
mans clothing" said Mrs. Bonnerd
L don't care much for it. I don't
care much for walking. A little of
IL goes long ways-not as far as
Porterdale however"

teen. from a small West Virginia

Il am not going to make bond, but

charges, but you can say that 1 am
not going to fight the case"

agents said. They declared he rep

One effect of the war has been to in

effects OF the war other countries have
shown an increase In spectacle wearing

nervous shocks caused by battle The
Germans are more phlegmatic and seem
less susceptible to nervous exhaustion.
Nervousness generally affects tho eyes
and for that reason shocks OF the war
have dimmed somewhat the sight OF Eu-

better sight"
Americans, especially those living IN

LONDON. July 2 Saturday. An
article by the financial editor of the

International Chamber of Commerce of
resolution supporting the international
credit system proposed at the Brussels
Financial Conference by DIR. U. Ter
Meulen. the Dutch banker, Is most sig
nificant. for 1t is we'll known the Amer
lean delegates to the Congress had In
their pockets an exports credit scheme
OF their own"
No doubt" adds the writer "the
determining factor in the American
decision was the fact that the Ter
Meulen plan is the only credit scheme
which is linked with the equation of
budgets and insures that the credits
provided are used for essential pur-
poses. and is accompanied by measures
of reform. 1t therefore is natural to
expect when the American delegates
return to their own country they will
urge on their fellow business men the
advantages Of the Ter r-Meulen scheme.

the Federal Reserve Board will take
with regard to discounting bills drawn
