BANKER ODES TO ATLANTA PRIS-
ON. IDE AND LOST 2 FORTUNES
FleeiBir from Officers "Was Ship-
"wrecked and Came Out with
Fortune.
JTilliam Adler the banker from
NewOrleans who lost a fortune
through speculation and made an-
other when shipwrecked in Honduras
while fleeing from federal officers
was brought to the federal prison in
Atlanta a few days ago where he Avill
serve a sentence of six years for vio-
lating tiie banking laws.
"While on his way from New Or-
leans Adler spoke to those in his
party about speculation.
"It is about the greatest evil of the
business world" he said. "Stop spec-
ulation and you'll stop panics. But
so long as speculation continues sea-
sons of panic will occur. Business
an never be wholly sound until
speculation ceases."
Adler is one of the most remark-
able prisoners ever brought to Atlan-
ta. He is a round little man hard-
ly more than five feet tail and soft of
nice. He has made two fortunes and
after replacing tbooeftads that he lost
is still weairny. j

Cv'torturity to add to his wealth and
entered on speculations by which he
dreamed of becoming one of the
money kings of- the world. Instead.
