I sold for $8,000. the sale was invalid. ! Bank Has Not Settled With J. T. Eolleman.

FINANCIER JAILED . , ! Donald L. Persch Held in Defatdt of $50,000 Ba?l and Thereby Hangs a Tale of Tangled Finance Through Which Somebody in Wall Street' Nipped F. Augustus Heinze. New York, Special.-Donald Ll Persch, an ambitious young financier, whose offices constituted merely desk room in a downtown note broker's office, is in the Tombs in default of $50,000 bail, and thereby hangs a tale of tangled finance through which somebody in Wall Street nipped F. Augustus Heinze, the one-time cop per king, for $40,000. Persch is specifically charged wii;h thc larceny of $40,000, a profit obtained by tho sale of 15,600 sharos of Ohio copper 'common and 4,600 shares of Davis Daly copper common, which an agent for Heinze placed with the Windsor Trust Company, of this city, as se curity for a loan of $50,000. The stock was not held by the bank but was turned over to a clerk acting for Persch and at the latter's orders thrown on the curb market and sold for approximately $90,000. How Persch obtained the capital to carry through the deal and why the stock was relinquished by the trust company are points yet to be clear ed up. After his arrest Monday afternoon Persch was arraigned before a mhgis trate and, after unsuccessful efforts of his lawyer to have bail reduced to $20,000, was committed to the Tombs, although his counsel later procured a writ o? habeas corpus returnable Tuesday morning. His examination was set for Friday. District Attorney Jerome took ac tive charge of thc case and other ar rests may be made. Persch, according te the police, has been arrested twice before, once for forgery on a charge made by request of his father, and another in connec tion with taking subscriptions for an ice fund. Both charges were dropped. ALABAMA A DEY STATE. Governor Comer Signs Carmichael Prohibition Bill, Which Makes the State a Regular Sahara Desert. Montgomery, Ala., Special.-Gov ernor Comer on Monday afternoon sismed the Carmichael prohibition bm. Under this act it is unlawful to sell or to store any liquids containing more than one-half of one per cent alcohol. Tbe locker clubs are illegal and the possession of a United States internal revenue license shall be con sidered prima facie evidence of guilt. Trulv, Alabama is a dry state. The Fuller bill, and the Ballard bill are still pending in the House. They are more radical than the Carmichael bill and are designed to aid in the enforcement of the latter. The Fuller bill prohibits any sort of liquor ad vertising and throws every safeguard around the law. The Ballard bill provides for the impeachment of of ficers who fail to put the law into effect. Both of these bills will be passed. Aggregate Sligntly mgner xnan on August 1, 1908. Washington, Special.-Crop cond' tions in the United States on August 1, 1909, were in the aggregate slight ly higher than on August 1, 1908, and moderately higher than a 10-year average condition of all crops on Au gust 1. In addition to the higher con dition the acreage of cultivated crops i is about 1.6 per cent greater than last | year. So says a general review of j crop conditions issued Monday. Win ter wheat, spring wheat, corn, oats, rye, flax and grapes were better than last year and the 10-year average; barley and potatoes wera better than the condition on August 1 last year, but slightly below the average con- j dition. Tobacco and sweet potatoes j were bette* than the average and lower than last year. Important crops which were below both last year and an average condition are cotton, rice, hay, buckwheat and apples. Con ditions vary, however, in different sections of the United States.

Diamond Gossip and Ge: BIG LEAGUE RAGES TIGHTEN Only Two Months of the Present Base Ball Season Remaining. Interesting Finish Sure. (BY A. JAY COOK.) Pittsburg-From August 7 there are but two months of the present major league season remaining, the last game being played on October 7. The Pittsburg team which, Cooked a ?ure winner a few weeks ago, has failed to keep its wonderful work up and as a result Chicago is now but a few points behind the leaders. This ls not the result of any particular slump by the Pirates, but rather it is due to the ph?nom?ne! hall played by the Cubs during the last three or four weeks. With Reulbach and Brown in their present condition, Chance has two of the greatest pitchers in the league and it seems ^impossible to beat either one of them. The team work is perfect and they have at last Mt a batting streak. On the other hand the Pirates' pitching staff is not the best in the league. Camnitz and Willis are the only really reliable men Clarke has. Leifield and Maddox are begining to blow up toward the last of +he games. Of course Phillipe and Leever are etlll there though not as in former years. On the whole the pitching staff falls slightly below that of the Cubs. It is in batting that the Pittsburg team shines. With Wag ner, Miller, Clarke and Leach, they have four of the best batters in the league. If the Pirates start swat ting the ball as they should, nothing (Courtesy Pittsburg Press) ABBATICCHIO, Of the Pirates. will stop them. They will simply romp away with the penant. Bar j beau, the little third baseman,, who I was out of the game for some time, Is again on third and batting dike a streak. In this figuring I have left New York out. Of course the Giants may have a look in at the end of the sea son, but they will havo a hard time ' overcoming a lead of twelve games. The Pirates and Cubs must take an awful slump and New York must do some good playing in order to have a look in. Matthewaon and Wiltse are i the only really dependable pitchers j they have at present Their batting j too Is fa-'Qing off. Still one never can ! tell, and at the end of the season, Chi < cago, Pittsburg and New York may be ! racing neck and neck as last year. If one counts the batting average of Abbatlcchlo, the absence of Wagner from the Pittsburg team for the last week has not crippled the team as much as would be supposed. Abby, playing at Wagner's position has in ? deed filled his shoes as far as any I man could. He has made but one I error in the rame-! he h>s nlnvecl and i has batted as cood as any other man on the team during that perlcd. There are a good manv infielders tn the major leagues that will have lo 'tMte off their hats to him. Of course , Wagner's shoes simiTy can't be filled, j H's absence seems to effect the team I turough their loss of confidence, ar, I well as the loss cf his wonderfrC field I lng ami batting. "With him back tn ' the crime and batting as usual tho Pittsburg team trill no doubt make up for a gr-od blt of lest time. In tho Amarinan ?ea^ue Detroit. Phil&delph'i? and Boston pre running almost nee;: to neck, but 40 points separating them. Wolgast After Two Titles. Chicago.-Ad Wc!gast, the little chap who enjoys the unique distinc tion -of being callenger for both the featherweight and lightweight cham pionships at the SV.-XQ. time, created a considerable stir this week by post ing $300.00 to clinch a match with Packey McFarland at 1"3 pounds, the weight to be made throe hours before the battle starts. The match will f.lkely come off on September 9. at 'Frisco. As Wolgast in trim welchs from 122 to 12S pounds he will likely give some, welsht to McFarland. BERGER TO ARRANGE BOUT WITH NEGRO. Chicago.-Sam Berger, representing James J. Jeffries, who is now on the high seas bound for Europe, expects to meet Jack Johnson in New York this coming week and go over the plans for a world's championship batr tie between the negro and the ex boilermaker. Johnson a few days since posted a $5,000 forfeit to clinch a match with Jeffries, and there ls nb longer reason to doubt the sincerity of either the white or the black man. Jeffries before sailing even went so far as to say he would waive, if neces sary, his demand for a large side bet He Intimated that his predominating aspiration was to make a punching bag of the black fe'.Gow, regardless of the price paid him for the exhibition. It will be recalled that Jeffries on previous occasions during his retire ment gave as his reason for quitting the ring his wife's opposition. Mrs. Jeffries, whom Jim meets at Carlsbad, may not take kindly i the notion that her absence has been taken ad vantage of to lure her husband into the malring of fresh pugilistic plans, and, womanlike, she may upset the en tire mess with one shove nf h?r dain ty toe. This ls, however, merefly possible, hardly probable, as Mrs?. Jeffries, enjoying the luxuries of Eu ropean sojourn, must realize that to crush the Johnson match would be equivalent, to killing the hen that lays / the golden egg that pays the bills. Fight promoters are beginning al ready to bid for the fight Berger received a tentative offer from a pro moter in Fort Worth, Texas, who wanted to know if a $100,000 purse would be big enough to get the fight The message was so worded to make the fighter beCieve an even larger purse would 'hp offend, if that wasn't ..iciiU?sh, the man who pulled off the Johnson-Burns fight In Australia, will make a bid for the battle, though lt is hardly probable Jeff would agree to go to the Antipodes to fight Coff roth, of San Francisco, Carey of Los Angeles, several Nevada mining camp promoters, and several promoters in the northwest are known to be prepar ing to malee bids. London.-Sir Thomas Lipton is not discouraged over his failure to have the universal ruHe, under which form erly International YR rh* ~>??? ?- - worthiness, but that the challenger must be a 'boat built on lines that will enable her to cross the ocean on her own keel. Sir Thomas has approached both Fife and Myllne, the most famous de signers in England, but both have de clined to have anything to do with what they call a freak. Both design ers are confident they could build a yacht that wouild life the cup, but such a boat would be such a magnificent freak that they would not dare trust her to the treacherous seas of the At lantic. Sir Thomas says he has many friends among yachtsmen in America and has only the kindliest feelings for Americans in general, but oannot un derstand why exceptional regulations are made in this case, and he has heretofore found the American yachts men fair, square and above board. Sir Thomas adds, however, that he Is willing to race under any rules now existing and hopes that within the next four or five weeks to have mat ters in such shape that he can com mence on a Shamrock IV. Kcachel-Langford Go. New York.-Sam Langford, another of our fighters who had a finishing trip to Europe recently, and Stanley Reichel will malee up a ten round boxing contest that wini be held at the Fairmont club, New York on Sep tember 3. Langford sees a chance to annex the middleweight championship of the world in this battle with the Michi gan Tornado, and he is training faith fully for the bout. Sam alreadv holds the heavyweight' championship of England, Great ' tlita'-ri and Zululand, according to th-. .. /.ional Sporting Club of London, annin thinks that a few mere t'tles won'd look well painted on his suit case. That's where Sam wears them. N*w Record by Ahearn. Nev/ York-Thc Clan-Na-Gael track and field games at Celtic park, Long Island, were productive of a new world's record in the two hops and jump. Danie! F. Ahern, of the Irish American A. C., covered 50 feet CM> inches, which is six inches more than tho reccini^ed world's record, made I by Dan S-lmnnahan. of Limerick. Ire- ! land, nearly 20 years ago. Today's j mark was carefully measured by the I Amateur Athletic Tulon officers, and 1 wi! stand. Mathewson Must Work. Big Christy Mathewson, the star flinger of the Nev: York Giants, h?s a hard month ahead cf him, :f the dope handed out by Manager McGraw is closely fellowed. "Matty needs more work," said Mc Graw, "injuries and sickness have kept him out of the game so much o? late (hat his clntrol fa getting wob bly, and 1 intend to pedan him o" for the finish by loading him down with work." Temptation wears rubber shoes and speaks in whispers. WEEDING VEILS. As to the wedding veil, its disposal Is a matter of taste. If worn over the face, a separate short piece for this purpose is pinned on at the front of the coiffure, to he taken off at the chancel rail hy the maid of honor or one o"f the bridesmaids, and not put hack again. 'Most brides in this country wear the veil off the face. The same rules as to dress ap ply at home as if the bride is 'mar* ried at church. The bridesmaids usually wear -hats, but a very pretty custom, followed much In Europe, is the wearing of a tulle veil Instead of a hat. This veil, which is adjusted with a wreath of flowers, and of course worn back from the face, is always becoming. The veil matches the gown in color, and the flowers are the same as those in the bouquet. The bridesmaid and maid of (honor both wear gloves. From Vogue. THE NATIONAL BANK OF AUGUSTA. AUGUSTA. GA. L.
