MINING CONGRESS
COMPLETES SESSION
Federal Trade Commissioner Elk.
plains Present Method of
Procedure.

The twenty eighth annual conven-
ton Of the American Mining Congress,
which had been in session al the VIII
lard Hotel since Wednesday morning,
came to an end this afternoon with
the election of officers. Daniel B.
IVentz of Philadelphia was elected
president; f. L. Doheny of Los An
geles, Robert E. Tally of Leadville,
Colo, and w. II. Lindsay of Nash
vile. Tenn, vice presidents. and j. f.
Callbreath of Washington was made
secretary.
Two important addresses occupied
the attention of the delegates this
morning. Commissioner William Il.
Humphrey of the Federal Trade Com
mission spoke on changing Economic
Conditions and the Antitrust Laws"
Gilbert II. Montague of New York
City spoke on Natural Resources
Natural Exemption From the Sherman
Law"
Commissioner Humphrey described
certain changes in the method of pro-
ceeding against accused firms that
have been inaugurated by the Fed
eral Trade Commission since his iden-
tification with 1t.
Now, he said, instead of advertising
a man or a business concern as a
fraud before he has been tried, the
commission gives the accused an OPP
portunity of proving the charges I'M
justified before being held up to public
CenSure.
Another innovation has proved de-
cidedly economical. Under the old
system, Commissioner Humphrey said,
the Federal Trade Commission pro-
ceeded to the prosecution OF a case
before the defendant had an oppor
tunity of curing the offense charged.
AS a result, the commission usually
heard a case a week at an expense Of
about $500 each.

Anthropologists in America and Eu-
rope are interested in data that the
Beloit Sahara expedition under Alonzo
w. Pond may supply to fill in an i'm

suits achieved by the Franco-American
expedition, in which DR.. Pond partici-
pated together with the preliminary
work done in past years by NJ. Maui
rice Reygasse, French governor of
Tebessa, are looked upon as reasons
to hope that the trail of early man,

A Bride-Widow Claims
Big South Georgia Estate
Came Unheralded From Atlanta and
Demands Hightower Wealth.

When Mr.. J. N. Hightower, prom
inent merchant of Damascus, Ga,
passed away three weeks ago it was,
to ali appearances, only the peaceful
passing Of one who had lived well past
his allotted three score and ten. Great
was the surprise of his family, there
fore, when, following the funeral
widow put in her appearance, coming
to Damascus from her home in Allan
ia. accompanied by her attorney, and
made formal claim to the estate OF
the deceased, says the Fort Gaines
Georgian. AS the first Mrs. Hightow-
err had passed away only SIX months
before her husbands death and the
family had no knowledge of his sub
sequent marriage the advent OF a
bride widow came as htunderbolt to
the beraved family.
Mr.. Hightower went to Atlanta
about four months prior to his death
to enter a hospital for medical treat
ment. but the bride claims, and she
has papers which seem to substantiate
her claim, that he was united to her
in marriage at that time, and lived and
died in her home.
Mr.. Hightower was the father OF
Mrs. Mary Speight, who was resi-
dent of Fort Gaines for many years
Mrs. Speight had devoted much OF her
time and patience to the care OF her
aged father, and it was supposed that
she would inherit the greater part OF
his estate, which is estimated at SI0O,-
900.

Wear Flowers on Back Of
Shoulders Is Paris Fad
Dame Fashion Has Something New
And Novel for Women.

Dame Fashion is displaying her
hckleness in her ever-changing die
tates as to the position of the inevi-
table flowers.
She still permits us to wear them
near the shoulder, but now they must
appear on the back of the shoulder,
and quite the newest note from Paris is
to have at least three, and more if you
like, large flowers fastened on the
shoulder and trailing over the back OF
the arm. Those large roses and pond
lilies are especially effective worn this
way.
ii you cling to the single large flow
err. or boutonniere, fasten it to the
scarf ends at back of shoulder-that
is, if YOU wear the ends falling down
the back, one OF the smart modes.
A pretty conceit is to wear a single
rose tied closely about the neck with
a narrow ribbon, having the loops and
ends on opposite sides OF the rose
the flowers being at the front lett side.
