Disap- HUNTING FOR HIS SISTERS Letters Claimed ' to Have Been Written By Them From Ashevllle. ATLANTA, July 25. Marshall Nelms laid before Senator Hoke Smith in Washington all the known facts of the disappearance of his sisters, Beatrice Nelms and Eliose Nelms Dennis, tor whom a nation-wide but entirely un successful search has been conducted since July 9. The young man was given encour agement that , the Government would OindfirtaJte an immediate investigation, ol the xharges .of misuse of the mails' which have been lodged against Vic tor 'E. Innes, Portland lawyer, by the members of the Nelms family, but Senator Smith regarded as doubtful a probe on the allegation that Innes may have violated the Mann act. I Along with these developments at the national capital came an entirely new line of investigation in Atlanta. This involves a thorough inspection of all the business papers of Beatrice Nelms. and interviews with all her, business acquaintances with a view of-determining in her affairs were in such a condition as to furnish a mo tive for her strange disappearance. Meets Senator Smith. It has been said that she was not involved financially in any serious way, but attorney Reuben Arnold, counsel for Mrs. J. W. Nelms, mother of the missing girls, wanted to make sure on this point so that nothing should be overlooked in seeking the reason for their disappearance. Mrs. Nelms Denounces Agent. A sensational incident occurred today on an elevator in the Gould building when W. O. Shellnett, a salesman for a medicine company was roundly denounced by Mrs. Nelms as having part in the disappearance of her daughters. Shellnett is the man named in the mysterious postcard and letter received by Mrs. Nelms from Asheville and Canton, N. C, The letter was signed by "C. Allen." Mr. Shellnutt readily explained that he had no connection with the Nelms girls' disappaerance, and said that Allen, once a private detective, had become enraged at him because of his testimony in the Myrtle Hawkins case in South Carolina, and had threatened to hound him. Nelms met Senator Smith in Wash ingtoa -at 12 30 o'colck and presented letters.' of introduction from District Attorney Hooper, Alexander, Post master Boiling. H. Jones and Attor ney Arnold, dispatches to The Geor gian said. The Senator took Mr. Nelms into the President's room to talk with him. Affe--looking over the letters, Sen ator-Smith said that the Department of Justice had already held that the Government had no jurisdiction to investigate the 'Nelms case on the sharge of violating the Mann white tlave - act, but " it ' appeared probable hat the postla laws had been vio- ated:by Innes writing to Eloiae as o nvest meats which he 'would make for her, ba which later, were said to -be .

The letter which Nelms" wai submir to the department is in the form of a statement of the. case in which Attor ney Arnold holds that the" white slave law has been violated by, Innes in in cluding Mrs. '. Eloise Denaia to come West to meet him, and that the postal laws have ; been violated, by Innes representing-. 'that " he .. was ; investing her. $10,000 inland and securities in Mexico, Utah and Montana,- which in vestments are said to be fictitious. . ' . Rev, W. B.

MS 1 I TOR DEFENSE CAUGHT IN TRAP SET BY FORMER WIFE Two Letters Mme. Caillaux ed" Are to Be Read. 'Fear "THEY ARE INNOQUOUS" Mme. Gueydan Reluctantly Gave Them Up and Now Won't Take Them Back. PARIS, July 25. The defense in the trial of Mme. Henriette Cailleaux, charged with the murder of Gaston Calraette, editor of the Figaro, today was caught in a trap innocently set by Mme. Gueydan, once the wife of the prisoner's husband. The principal argument of Maitre Labori, council for Mme. Cailleaux has been that his cilent was driven to shoot M. Calmette through fear that two let ters, of which she was aware photo graphic reproductions existed, would be published by M. Calmette and the sec rets of her inner life thereby made public. This argument , it is said, will be re duced to nothing by the reading of the letters, which Mme. Gueydan relucta nt ly gave over to Maitre Labori yester ba. Today she declined to receive them back from M. Labori as to what them back from M. Labori. Replying to a question by Labori as to what she desired done with them, the former wife of M. Cailleaux, said- "I do not care what you do with them. Publish all of them iLyou wish to do so." Their reading is now regarded inevit able. Mme. Gueyadn's counsel, S. G. Archi bald, said today concerning the letters "They are innocuous. They contain several disagreeing references to Mme Gueydan, then Cailleaux's wife, and con sider. the possibilities of his obtaining a divorce from her. This however, he says would have to be after the elec tions. They are completed by allusion to local politics of nd importance what ever. No Pity For the Woman" The unprecedented spectacle of two former premiers Jean Barthou and M. Cailleaux standing together at the bar and maintaining with no little heat d vergent opinions on the case, was of hardly less linterest than the fencing of M. Labori and M. Chenu, representing the Calmette family over the letters. Stung by a taunt of Pascal Ceccaldi, an intimate friend of M. Cailleaux, that he had not a word of pity for the woman on trail, M. Barthou turned toward her and said "I had the honor, madatne, to be a guest of your house, and you have been a jguest of mine. I have said nothing ol -ato nature aggravate your situation. I wish to say that I have the most sin - cere respect for you in your position, but madame, up to the present the prosecution has hardly pronounced a word against you. You are defended by friends whose devotion I admire and by a husband who stands here full of activity, energy and talent. It was not for me to speak on the question of your defense. I can only give you the re spectful salute which is your due. My pity has been for him to whom it right fully belongs." "'' A dramatic bit of the testimony was given by Dr; Wilbert'M: Calmette di rector of .the Pasteur institute at Lille. He paid high tribute to the character of his brother. ' Defends Bjwtjhcr' Memory. "f am convinced,' said Dr. Calmette, "that .if Mme. Caileaux had simply opened her mouth, if she had only said to my brother, " 'It is true that you have in your posession the private letters?' iny brother would immediately hava re assured her. If you know how scrupu lous was my brother with his word he would havcremoved Mme., Caillaux ap prehensioa..

FOY FAVORS STATE WIDE ME TELLS WASHINGTON NEWSPA PER MEN THAT PEOPLE WANT IT - , WASHINGTON, D. C. July 25 That the people of the Third North Carolina District are more in favor of a btate-widp primary law now than they were before the recent congres sional mixup is the belief of C. E. Foy a well known business man of New Bern, who came to Washington today. According to statements which have reached Washington from time to time, opponents of a legalized primary law have been pointing to the Third District as an example of dissatisfaction over the results of a primary and stressing the conclusion that the people of that district are disgusted with the primary idea. Desire Is Intensified. Mr. roy tninks there is a strong sentiment in that district for a pri mary all over the State to be held on the same day, a primary whose rules could be constructed only one way. He thinks the desire is for rules fashioned for the entire State, in stead of for a single district. The recent contest, he believes, has served to intensify that desire rarher than to discourage those who have been in favor of primaries. THE HOT WEATHER PROS TRATED ONE MAN. J. L. Brock, a capenter employed on the new tobacco warehouse, while enroute home to his dinner yesterday about noon, was stricken with a se vere sunstroke. He was at once taken to his home where medical attention was given him and his condition last night was somewhat improved. Five Dorses Were Killed At Vanceboro WERE AFFLICTED WITH THAT DEADLY DISESASE, r THE GLANDERS The result of the test made by the State Veterinarian on the horses in fected by the disease, at Vanceboro, pronounced by Dr. Hargett as glan ders, proved that Dr. Hargett was right. The test was made yesterday and four of the horses found to be infected were ordered killed and buried, and it is thought that more of the remaining victims of the disease will be later killed. This is one of the most dreaded dis- seases as it is both infectious and con tagious to both horses and human be ings. J small portion ot the nasal dis charged from a glandered horse com ing in contact with the abraded skin of man, communicates the loathsome and fatal disease from which so many attendants of horses have died, and government, by the Act V t. 16 and 17, of the date of August 14, 1853, yeryproperly compels the immediate destruction Of every glandered horse. Whilst oxen and dogs are exempt from it, donkeys suffer generally in the acute form, often dying in eight or ten days. Horses frequently have it in a chronic form, and if well fed and managed, sometimes uve and work for years, but no animal with glanderous .ulcers or discharge should oa any account be preserved, for, besides being perfect ly incurable, the fatal disease is com. municabte not only to healthy horses, but also to human beings.

Such. HERE A FEW WEEKS AGO Unknown Girls Send Telegram To Man In South L Carolina. While the Atlanto, Ga., police are searching the country over for Mrs. Eloise Nelms Dennis and her sister, Miss Beatrice Nelms, who disappeared from that city a few weeks ago, there is a probability that the two women have visited New Bern during the past few weeks. 1 t is believed that they went from Geor- gis to Asheville and in fact it has been shown that they were in the western part of the Stte about two weeks ago. In order to reach Asheville by a round-about-way, which it is claimed the sisters were following in order to throw pursuers off their trail, there is a probability that they came b,y New Bern and a few weeks ago two women, who in every way answered the de scription of the missing women, regis tered at a local hotel. A short time after their arrival here one of the women, w i is believed to have been Mrs. Dennis went to the Postal telegraph office and slmu a mes sage to a man in South Carloin i. The Postal people will not give out any in formation as to whom this telegram was addressed to but it is believed to have been sent to Victor H. Dennis who has figured very prominently in the mys tery. The women spent but one day in New Bern, leaving on the west bound train and purchasing tickets to Greens boro. It is known that they reached Goldsboro and they were seen aboard the westbound Southern train but so far as is known they have not again been seen in this section, The probability is that the women- went to Asheville and. there met the man to whom the telegram was sent from New Bern. The authorities in Western North Carolina have made a search for the missing girls in the west ern part of the State l;it have failed to locate them. One thing that'eids to the belief that the girls are the ones being hunted for is the fact that immed iately after arrival here they inquired if there was any mail for them from At lanta. They were registered here uti dr the name of Mary and Emma Graves. SPECIAL SERVICE AT THE T NEWLY ELECTED OFFICERS B. Y. P. U.
