CRANSTON WILLIAMS TO
WED DAVIS NIECE

ATLANTA, July 15-Thore is
very interesting gossip in Atlanta
relative to Cranston Williams, sec
rotary of Senator w. J. Harris. l.
is to the effect that Mr. Williams
is engaged to be married to a young
lady very close to John W. DAVIS,
the nominee of the Democratic par
ty for President. The young lady
is either the neice Of the nominee
or one very near relative to him.
w. J. Harris, the senator from
Georgia, made the announcement
of the good fortune that had come
to Cranston while on the floor Of
the Kimball House yesterday after
noon.
90 know Cranston Williams, my
secretary, will be delighted to hear
of John w. Davis nomination.
said Senator Harris, because he is
engaged to marry a very fine young
woman who, l believe, is a neice of
the nominee. If she is not his
neice she is very closely related to
him. Cranston went over into West
Virginia to see them all on Sunday.
The nomination of the former
minister to the Court of st. James
becomes of more than ordinary in
tercst to Georgians because of this
development. Mr.. Williams is a
son of Editor Jim Williams of the
Greensboro Herald-Journal, who
went to the national convention as
b McAdoo delegate.

INVESTIGATIONS AND INVEST.
CATIONS

It appears that the present Con-
gress Is hard to please in the matter
of Investigations; that it is willing to
listen to back-doo gossip about some
men, whom 1t wishes to get out OF
r Office, and will not listen to straight
forward evidence against men it
wishes to get into Office. In the case
OF one 1t bellows in semblance of
righteous Indignation; in the case OF
the other 1t smiles approval and pats
the accused on the hack.
Readers endowed with the average
amount ~of common sense. reading

Smith said Jones told him about
Mister What's His Name, may con-.
clude that where there is so much
smoke there must be some fire, even
il started by an outside incendiary;
may read impatiently hoping they
will arrive at something which may
DC proved according to the rules of
evidence. but so far have waited in
vain.
Turn now to the records of the evil
denee presented to Congress in the
case of one Sol bloom. Democrat
seeking TO represent the 10Th district
OF New York. The headlines in the
New York Herald Tribune printing
an account of the hearing before the
congressional committee states:
"Brazen Frauds in Bloom Case Men
ACC Ballot. Testimony Ignored by
House in Seating Opponent of
Chandler Emphasizes Danger in All
Elections. All Kinds of Chicanery,
intimidation, Distribution of Whis-
key. Forgery. Theft and Other Vio-
lations." Hearing the testimony the
but the House. wherein the self
righteous Democrats and LaFollet-
tians have control. reversed the com
mittee and seated Sol Bloom.
1t has been said a person Is known
by the company he keeps. Perhaps
the national House OF Representa-
tlves Is to be known by the convicts
1t acquits. This would not be dis
turbing were it not proof that JUS
tice may not be expected at the hands
Of this Congress. 1t stands con-
demned by itself and in the unlikely
event that decision OF the Presidency
falls into its clutches Sol Bloom and
Bob LaFollette may profit from
crime.

ones which get away" he said. 1.-TWO
years ago l was visiting in Utica, n.
Y. I knew that there were fish in the
locks of the Erie Canal, probably
lookiocked salmon who had chosen
the canal route to avoid the leap
over Niagara Falls.
Zone evening l repaired to the
nearest lock with a tarpon outfit.
Reasoning from the probable food
supply baited my hook with a
banana. / got action instantly. On
the first cast the line spun out and
l knew that l was hitched. to a le-
vlathan. A terrific struggle followed
in the midst Of which came the blast
of whistle. The night boat for Al
bany was entering the lock!
The desperate fish dashed against
the boat. careening her sharply. But
the impact stunned him. I reeled in
and began cautiously to haul him up
the bank. But l reckoned without
his displacement. AS l pulled him
out, the normal level OF the canal
began to go, down. Cries of alarm
rang from the boat which lay over
on her side, until, with a sigh, threw
the great fish back into the canal.
with both ship and fish in the
lock it was filled to overlooking and
a cataract of water poured over the
gates. The salmon, revived, seized
his opportunity and, an instant later,
rushed over the falls carrying with
him my rod, line. and a cherished
reel studded with twelve jewels
which had been presented to me by
the Duke of Argyll.

thousand lives. The passengers lat
as you see, bears upon one side n
