' "Charity begins at home.”
| There is nothing more certain than
the truth of this time-worn adage, unless
lit be the genuineness, the sincerity an«i
the unfailing kindness of Atlanta's loyal
! citizens.
i Sunday morning The Journal prlnteJ
an account of the sufferings, the sor
rows and the needs of Mrs. Jennie M.
Cato, of 94 Hampton street, five of whose
seven small children were found by a
Journal reporter lying desperately ill of
typhoid, the bare house cold, dreary and
cheerless, the poor, tired mother, bereft
of her husband, only a few, brief days
before, slowly starving for want of aid
and care. >
With characteristic Atlanta spirit, as
spontaneous In its charity as in all other
things, the readers of The Journal rushed
to the aid of the poor woman, and all
day Sunday the little house was literally
beaelged by kind-hearted, compassionate
people who wanted to. help.
Two gentlemen who saw the tearful
tale of the trials and tribulations of Mrs.
Cato immediately dispatched two trained
nurses to the scene, and under their
capable, tender care, the weight of the
tired woman's burden was lightened. For
the first time In two weeks the mother
was able to remove her clothing and lie
down to rest.
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL.
Monday morning the five sick children,
together wltb their mother, were taken
to Dr. Broughton's infirmary, where the
tendered care Is being bestowed upon
the sufferers.
A representative of -The Journal called
at the Cato house early Monday morn
ing. and found a far different state of
affairs from that which existed on the
day before. The trained nurses were in
charge, and the mother in far better
health and spirits, and an air of comfort
pervaded the place. Mrs. Cato spoke feel
ingly of the manner In which the resi
dents of the city have responded to Th a
Journal's call for help.
■I cannot thank you,” she said, "for t
don't know what to say. Ail day yester
day the kind people came to see me, to
help me, and to do what they could.
"I am glad my children are to go to
the hospital.
"At first I did not want to go to ths
hospital, but after Gov. Hoke Smith and
Mr. F. J. Coolidge sent out the nurses,
and I realised what they could do here,
and how much better off I would be at
the hospital. I was glad to go.”
ANXIOUS TO AID.
While the reporter was there, the
physician who attended Mrs. Cato s hus
band up to came In, and asked
to be allowed to do what he could. Ho
was glad to know that the babies were
going to the hospital, and as he left he
gave Mrs. Cato a receipted bill for all
bls servicer to her husband.
That the people In the city are anxious
to help the distressed family is proven
beyond a doubt. Early Monday morning
a lady called by telephone and asked for
Information as to how to reach the suf
ferers. This was but the /beginning.
Throughout the entire day The Journal’s
telephones were kept busy giving infor
mation as to the condition of the family,
what they needed and how they could be
reached.
Numerous contributions in money were
sent in to The Journal offices, with the
request that they be conveyed to the
poor woman.
The offices of the Associated Charities
were also beselged by anxious people de
siring to give something.
Miss Nettie Sergeant, principal of the
Girls* High school, notified the Associat
ed Charities that the high school girls
were anxious to give clothing to the help
less woman and it is probable that this
generous offer will be accepted.

ASTOR’S YACHT IS
NOE 111 SUN JUAN
' ASWAS REPORTED
Wireless Communication From
Key West Fails to Confirm
Presence of Nourmahal in
Porto Rican Harbor.
COL. ASTOR’S SECRETARY
NOT WORRIED, THOUGH
He Attaches No Significance to
Latest Development and Be
lieves Yacht Was at Porto
Rico on November 15.
•
fßy Associated Press.)
SAN DOMINGO, Nov. 22.—C01. John Ja
cob Astor’s yacht Nourmahal sailed from
here November 12, during the hurricane.
The captain of a European steamer ar
riving here today reports that he saw
the wreck of a steamer lying between
the islands of Catalina and Saona. These
islands lie in the path of vessels proceed
ing east of here for Porto Rico.
A revenue cutter has been ordered to
sail immediately for the scene of the
wreck. ,
Mystery still surrounds the whereabouts
of the steam yacht Nourmahal, with the
New York millionaire, John Jacob Astor,
her owner, and a party of friends on
board.
Failure of confirmation through Key
West this morning by means of the only
present intact method of communication
with the West Indian islands—the govern
ment wireless telegraph system—has had
the effect of casting doubt on the cor
rectness of the report received yesterday
from the steamer Caracas, of Willemstad,
Curacao, which said the Nourmahal ar
rived at San Juan November 14 and was
safely anchored in the harbor there on
the 15th.
Reason for doubting the correctness of
this report is two-fold. In the first place
♦he operator at the government wireless
station at San Juan declared early today
that he knew nothing of the presence of
the Nourmahal there, and that if she
was in port, he doubtless would have
known it.
At the sam£ time the San Juan operator
volunteered the information that there
at present a large steam yacht in San
Juan harbor, but that it belonged to a
Cuban. This vessel might easily have
been mistaken by the captain of the Car
acas for the missing .Nourmahal.
Colonel Astor’s Secretary
Is Not Disturbed
NEW YORK. Nov. 22.—Word from Tam
pa, ria., that the wireless operator, in
his communications early today with the
San Juan, Porto Rico, wireless station,
received no confirmation of the presence
of John Jacob Astor’s steam yacht Nour
mahal in San Juan, is regarded by Wil
liam A. Dobbyn, secretary of Colonel As
tor, as having no significance. The Nour
mahal undoubtedly was there on Novem
ber 15, and probably by this time had
proceeded to some other port, said Mr.
Dobbyn.
“The report made by the Red D line
steamship Caracas at Willemstad that
the Nourmahal was in San Juan harbor
on November 15,” said Mr. Dobbyn, "is
undoubtedly correct. If the San Juan
wireless operator made nej mention of
her there today then the yacht’s presence
there was no significance to him or the
Nourmahal may have departed a few
days before.”
Washington Surprised
At New Development
WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.—The revenue
cutter service officials were much sur
prised to find that the late advices from
San Juan, Porto Rico, failed to verify the
report that the Astor yacht Nourrnahai
was seen in that harbor. The Yama
craw. which had been dispatched under
hurried orders to Jamaica and then to
follow the probable course of the Nour
mahal to Porto Rican waters. Is already
returning to Jupiter inlet under the or
ders she received following the report of
the presence of the yacht at San Juan.
The Yamacraw was caught about
miles out on her search.
Unless the situation is speedily clari
fled the Yamacraw probably will be di
rected by wireless to resume the quest of
the missing yacht.
Submerged Vessel Off Cuba
Resembles Nourmahal
KEY WEST. Fla- Nov - , 22WM
practically certain that no wireless^ com
munication would be established by the
station here with San Juan during the
day.
It was expected that the investigation
of the submerged vessel off the north
coast of Cuba will be made some time
today or early tomorrow morning. This
vessel is on the shoals just off Elbow
Key and will easily be found.
Captain Schlaikler, of the German
steamer Wotan, is positive that he saw
three masts and that corresponds with
the Nourmahal. He declared that' the
masts he saw were not those of a schoon
er as they were too close together and of
smaller shape.
Astor’s Divorced Wife
Hears He Is Safe
QUEENSTOWN. Nov. 22.—Among the
passengers on the Lusitania, which
touched here today, was Mrs. Ava Wil
ling Astor, who recently obtained a di
vorce from Col. John Jacob Astor. Mrs.
Astor expressed joy and relief at hear
ing the report that the Red D liner Cara
cas had sighted the Nourmahal at San
Juan, P. R.. on November 14. This re
port she took to mean that the party was
safe, including her son Vincent.
Mrs. Astor kept closely to her state
room during most of the voyage from
New York. She did not mention any in
tention of going to the West Indies, as
had been reported.

Naval rush orders ware received here
today in connection with the outfitting
of the gunboats Paducah and Dubuque,
both of which have been preparing to
return to their stations in the Carib
bean sea.
NEWPORT, B. L, Nov. 22.—The bat
tleship Missouri, while engaged in tor
pedo practice here today received or
ders to proceed at top speed for New
York, preparations were made to sail
within a couple of hours.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.—The next
move of the game being played with
President Zelaya, of Nicaragua, will be
made by Secretary Knox, and undoubt
edly it will be an Important, and possi
bly a decisive, one.
Zelaya has killed two Americans in the
most summary and brutal manner, and
It is not believed that he will be per
mitted to settle at so much a head for
these or any other Americans he may
see fit to kill. It is therefore believed
that something more than compensation
for Grace and Cannon will be Involved
In the next step by the state department.
Announcement was made by Assistant
Secretary Wilson this morning that noth
ing additional had been heard from Nica
ragua since yesterday afternoon. It ap
pears that the department is awaiting
additional Information as to the details
of the killing of Grace And Cannon, and
until that information Is obtained by the
vice-consul at Managua and cabled to
the department here, no important de
velopments In the situation are looked
for.
The state department’s action in recog
nizing the blockade of the port of San
Juan del Norte Is in effect a recognition
of insurgency, but this action in all prob
ability will be followed by what is much
more important, recognition of belliger
ency.
Recognition of belligerency is a mat
ter of the highest consequence to the in
surgent forces. Once their belligerency
is recognized Zelaya will be held to
strict accountability for any prisoners
he might take, as the United States
would undoubtedly see to it that they
were treated in every respect as prison
ers of war, according to civilized stand
ards.
Belligerency also would Improve the
status of the revolutionary government
before the world and at the same time
it would measurably increase its re
sponsibility.
RELATIONS NOW STRAINED.
Strained now to the breaking
point, It remains for only a few days to
show whether relations between the
United States and Nicaragua are to be
broken off.
This government has not accepted as
facts beyond all contradiction the expla
nation of Nicaragua touching the execu-
tion of Grace and Cannon In that country.
Sufficient credence is given statements
that have been made to the department
of state to prompt inquiries into the
reasons that moved President Zelaya to
order the two Americans put to death.
Secretary of State Knox himself is au
thority for the intimation that a de
mand for reparation will be made upon
Nicaragua should these inquiries develop
that allegations touching the death of the
Americans are well grounded.
Late last night the secretary declared
himself that proceedings in the Nicara
guan affair today would doubtless be
along the line of prosecution of the in
quiries to ascertain the truth as to Grace
and Cannon.
Secretary Knox is acting with the full
urbroval of tne president. Mr. Taft has
had the developments in the Nicaraguan
trouble presented fully and he is pre
pared to take any needed steps to bring
about a more satisfactory situation than
now exists.
‘American ships of war are now speed
ing to the shores of Nicaragua. The gun
beat Vicksburg will probably arrive at
Corinto on the Pacific coast today, and
the cruiser Des Moines may arrive at
about the same time at Port Limon. •
The Marietta, too, is on her way to the
Atlantic coast.
The first American war ship to arrive
in Nicaraguan waters was the gunboat
Vicksburg. Her presence at Corinto, on
the Pacific side of Nicaragua, was an
nounced to the navy department late yes
terday. •*
The little gunboat is in command of
Commander Alexander S. Halstead. She
is equipped <vith 6 4-inch guns and 8 guns
of smaller caliber, and is said to be in
condition to give a good account of her
self in any emergency that may arise.
D. K. Cannon, father of Leroy Cannon,
who was shot in Nicaragua, said today
that he had determined to await the re
sult of the government’s investigation in
to the execution before taking any steps
for claim of damages for the death of
his son and the confiscation of his prop
erty. He has asked Congressman Olm
stead of this district, to request the fed
eral government to secure the body, and.
many people In this city will also make
petitions to that effect.
MORE ACTIVITY.
Secretary Meyer returned to the navy
department today from Boston, and im
mediately, took up the Nicaraguan sit
uation from Assistant Secretary Win
throp, who had been in charge of the de
partment during his absence, and Rear
Admiral Potter, chief or the bureau of
navigation, with a view of determining
