WASHINGTON, May 18.—Persist
ent rumors were circulated here {o

will begin at Niagara Falls, Ontario,
on Wednesday,t o offer his resigna
tion as President of Mexico, if naz
essary to effect peace in the southern
republic.
However, in rep'v to the rumor, a
statement from Luis Rodriguez, gne
of the Huerta mediators, was tele

which he said:
“Reports that President Huerta has
offered to resign and has so notified
ug are absolutely untrue,”

ference, received their final instruc
tions to-day preparatory for their de.
pariure from the Capital.

now ya wew York and the Soutn
American delegates arrived to-day at
Niagara Falls, action in the media
tion came a step nearer to-d=7.
The Niagara Falls confersdces,

understood in official circles that rec

should they force out the ¥luerta re
gime, would be withheld until such
reform is established by the new gov

TBE GEORGIAN'S NEWS BRIEFS
BURNS CALLED MENACE
BY JUDGE IN CHARGE
A burning denunciation of Detective
Burns and the meéthods employed by
the Burns agency was delivered Mon
day by Judgé Ben Hill in a special
charge to the new Fulton County
Grand Jury which is to probe the
charges of bribery, coercion and other
irregularities in connection with the
recent hearing on the extraordinary
motion for a new trial for Frank.
“A menace to the peace of the com
munity, to the State and to the ad
ministration of justice” and “an al
leged great detective” were two of the
characterizations applied by the judge
to the famous sleuth,
Demands Deep Probe.
The judge demanded a most thor
ough probe of every activity in which
agents for the defense and prosecu
tion had bcen engaged in the invest!-
gation of the case, and declared thit
it was necessary once and for all to
clear up and quiet the charges that
were being made,
He demanded the indictment of
every person concerned with che
Ragsdale and Annie Maude Carter
“confession” affidavits, if it shonld
develop that the stories of bribery
and improper influence were well
founded, He mentioned by name Ar
thur Thurman, the lawyer, who,
Ragsdale s=ald, paid over the monay
for the affidavits of R, L. Barber and
himself.
“It is not amiss to say,” said the
judge, “that the people of this sec
tion and of all Georgia have been
wrought to a high pitch by the ac
tions of a detective, alleged to be a
famous sleuth.
+ “l doubt the wisdom of having
sleuths from other States, noted and
great, or infamous, as they may hap
pen to be, coming here and criticis

Was A passenger, wenl agroun
Gult of Papau, ;
ing our officials and our courts as
has been done.
“They come here undér the pre
tense of seeking truth, and they an
nounce that their sole aim is to find
the guilty and to uncover the truth,
but they are here seeking notoriety.
We don’t want them here,
“\We belleve it is right for those who
issue licenses to private detectives to
deny such men the right to come here
and operate. They do not detect
crime; they encourage it. They form
a menace to the peace of the State
and an obstruction to the administra
tion of law.” 5
Judge Hill introduced his attack
upon Burns by reviewing briefly the
later history of the Phagan case and
the fight in the courts conducted by
the attorneys of Leo Frank, He did
not call Burns by name, but referred
to *the alleged great detective” and
made it unmistakable just whom he
was attacking.
“The court wishes to call your at
tention to a case which has been cn
trial in our courts,” said the judge. ‘lt
was a terrible murder and a man has
been accused of the crime, tried, con
victed and sentenced.
Demands Indictments.
“The lower court was affirmed. It
‘was said to have committed no error,
The higher court ruled that the ver
dict was supported by the evidence.
“An extraordinary motion for a new
trial was made. A number of wit
nesses then declared that the testi
mony they had given on the stand
was false. They said they had been
led into giving the false testimony by
the city detectives.
“I charge you diligently to investi
gate these charges, and, if they are
true, to return indictments not onily
against those who testified falsely,
put against the officers as well.”

‘session of the annual Southern Bap
tist Convention this morning a reso
ilution, presented by Dr. D. J. Por

“Whereas the combination of church
and state has resulted in relentless
religious persecution and crimsoned
the pages of the past with the blood
of the Saints: Therefore, be it
“Resolved, That we, the representa
tives of two and a half millions of
Baptists, in convention assembled,
‘while reaffirming our age-long con
tention of the right of every man to
worship God according to the dictates
of his own consciénce, we deny the
right of any man or organization 1o
force the conclusions of conscience
upon any man, woman or child.
“That we view with serious alarm
and vigorous protest the efforts of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy to gain
control of our Government and there
by be in a position to fasten either its
faith or fallacies upon the congciencas
of a free and sovereign people.
“That we deeply deplore the prac
tice of a papal delegate as the rep=
resentative of the vatican at our na
tional capitol for the purpose of in
fluencing governmental affairs.
“That we earnestly protest against
thep resence of our national Repre
gentatives in their official capacity at
ecclesiastical functions and the mani
fest disposition on the part of some
of our politicians to show deference
to so-called church dignitaries.
“That we also protest against the
sentencing of any person, by any
judge, to serve in any religious insti
tution, .
“rhat since Baptiste have borne
the brunt of the battle which has
given religious liberty to the people of
the United States, we herein affirm
our determination to perpetuate this
priceless boon for the ’Freqent and all
coming generations. o this end we
pledge our property, or lives and our
sacred honor.”
