EL PASO, Nov. 24.—While it is admit
ted that with the tightening of the cen
sorship established by the Mexican gov
ernment only such information as Is fa
vorable to the government In its fight
against the Insurgents is being allowed
to come through. It is the general belief
that the situation is now pretty well
under control.
Sympathisers of the revolutionists here,
however, claim that the present lull mere
ly marks the strengthening of the in
surgent organisation and the real force
of the uprising will be felt within a few
days.
The most important development of the
night was the report that disturbances
had broken out in the territory of Tspic.
on the west coast. This is a new field,
no disturbances having been reported
’‘BBUnfimßHh Is In this section of the
country before. A heavy force of troops
have been sent to Teptc from Mexico <
City.
No fighting was reported last night
from any of the revolutionists* strong
holds. Parral apparently affords the gov
ernment the most anxiety and fully 1,000
federal troops were sent to the point yes
terday.
It is declared that the rebels still hold
the Madro branch of th a Mexico North
western railroad, running Crom Chu to
Madro. Early reports last night stated
•bat the government troops had recap
tored the railroad.
TROUBLE AT CASAS GRANDES.
The only trouble reported in northern
Mexico last night is at Casas Grandes,
Where it is fearei that a body of rev
eßutionists are marching to attack the
town. There are no soldiers there, but
a>out 200 deputies are on guard. The
|pwn is on the El Paso branch of the
Bex lean Northeastern.,
All towns on the national lines, includ
>g Torreon and Chihuahua, are report
jrt tranquil at 2 a. tn. and there is little
Jkelihood oi trouble before morning.
Disturbances are reported this morn
>ig in the territory of Tepic, on the
West coast south of Sinaloa, and 5.000
troops have been dispatched there from
lhe City of Mexico. These outbreaks
are in a section which has heretofore
been peaceful. The outbreaks are in
several different localities.
Nothing can be heard from Ucatan
and the great south country. Torreon
and the surrounding country is quiet.
Fully 1.000 soldiers were sent into
Parral yesterday by the govarnment
and the town is under strict military
rule This is due to the fear that the
insurgents will try to capture the rich
mines there. At 5:30 no disturbances
are reported in the interior.
Confiscate Madero Property
CVTDAD PORFIRIO DIAZ. Nov. 24.
The Mexican government has ordered
the confiscation of all of the property of
Francisco I. Madero, leader of the revo
lutionists.
Madero has large landed interests in
northern Mexico and owns valuable
property in the oity of Monterey, but
even if the revolutionary movement
should fall and Madero lose all of his
property in Mexico he would not be a
poor man. It is known that he has in
vestments in New York and his holdings
of continental securities are said to be
large.
According to reports reaching here to
day through government sources, the
Dias forces are now in complete control
of all of northern Mexico, except per
haps small sections of Chlhuila and
Chihuahua.
Reyes in Paris
PARIS, Nov. 34. —Gen. Bernardo
Reyes, the Mexican soldier, who came to
France on a special military mission,
was still in this city today and it is said
has no intention of returning to Mexico
at this time. Reports that Reyes was
going home to head the revolutionists
had been circulated
General Reyes was formerly governor
of the state of Neuvo Leon, wheer the
enemies of President Diax were spe
cially strong. Though an avowed sup
porter of Diax. the loyalty of Reyes was
questioned and x year ago he was placed
under surveillance by the government.
Subsequently he was sent on the French
mission. Reyes is a splendid soldier
and has a large personal following.

CREWS MUTINY ON
BRAZIL WARSHIPS;
' OFFICERS KILLED
Throw Shells Into Loyal Battle
Ships and Then Shell the
- City—The Authorities Take
Prompt Action
MEN DISSATISFIED
WITH NAVAL RULES
Affair Is Said Not to Be Politi
cal, But a Demonstration of
the Seamen Against Coporal
Punishment and More Pay
(By A»«oci*t»d Press.)
RIO JANEIRO, Nov. 24.-The crews of
two battle ships of the Brazilian navy
mutinied yesterday. They turned their
guns upon the loyal ships and also thre 1
a few shells into the city.
During the outbreak several officers
were killed. The lighting ceased at night,
but the revolters remained in possession
of the . two vessels.
Today the battle ships with their mu
tinous crews were anchored outside the
bar awaiting action by the government.
Congress was summoned in session at 1
o'clock this afternoon to deal with the
situation. The censorship is strict and
details of the trouble cannot be cabled at
this time.
It is officially stated the trouble is
not of a political character and should
be described as a mutiny among the sail
ors to force certain concessions from
the officers, rather than a revolt against
the administration of President Fonseca.
For some time the men of the navy had
been agitating the matter of more pay.
They also objected to the practice in the
navy of inflicting corporal punishment,
upon insubordinate or otherwise offend
ing sailors.
The matter came to a head yesterday
when the crews of two of the bigger war
ships turned upon their superiors. It
is reported that the captain of the battle
ship Minas Geraes was killed.
Following the fighting, the mutineers
made a formal demand for increased
pay and the abolition of corporal pun
ishment and then withdrew to the outer
harbor. The mutineers expect congress
to pass a measure this afternoon grant
ing them amnesty. It is believed that if
this is done the trouble will be at an
ead. Should congress refuse amnesty to I
the revolters, the subsequent attitude of
the latter is in doubt. The situation is
tense and there is considerable anxiety
among the people of the city.
Crews Mutinied
RIO JANEIRO. Brazil, Nov. 24.-The
crews of two Brazilian battleships mu
tinied, demanding an increase in pay
and the abolition of corporal punish
ment in the navy. Several officers were
killed in the fighting that ensued. Some
shells were fired into the city from the
battle ships.
Non-Political Character
HAMBURG. Nov. 24.-The Norde
Deutsche bank, which has close financial
relation! with Brazil, received the fol
lowing cable from Rio Janeiro last night:
“A movement is in progress among
the sailors of the navy for the improve
ment of their position.”
From this message it is assumed by
the bankers that the trouble at Rio Ja
neiro is of a non-political character.
PASTOR AND HIS WIFE
KILLED BY BURGLARS
Presbyterian Minister of New

(By Associated Press.)
TRENTON. N. J„ Nov. 24.—The Rev.
L. A. Armstrong. 80 years old, pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Dutch
Neck, ten miles east of here, and his
wife, were murdered last night at their
home by burglars.
The pastor and his wife had not re
tired when the burglars entered their
home at about 11 o’clock last night and
the fact that they had not retired prob
ably accounts for their having been mur
dered. The burglars, it is believed, being
detected, immediately shot the minister
and his wife.

ATLANTA. GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 25, 1910.
IAIR MEN WILL FLY FOR
PEOPLE OF GEORGIA
IN TO WEEKS
Celebrated Members of the
Curtiss Exhibition Company
Will Be • Seen at Atlanta
Speedway Dec. 15, 16, 17
WORLD’S RECORDS
MAY BE BROKEN
Plan of the Atlanta Journal to
Stage the South’s Greatest
Aviation Meet at Popular
Prices Meets Approval
Three weeks from today the air men
will fly.
In just 21 days, on December 15, the
great aviation meet of The Atlanta
Journal will open for a three-day session
at the Atlanta speedway.
For three days the famous members of
the Curtiss Exhibition company will
demonstrate to the assembled thousands
the skill that has made their names
celebrated throughout the entire world.
Eugene Ely, Augustus Post and J. V.
D. McCurdy, all three of whom are on
the top round of fame’s ladder as bird
men of incomparable skill, temerity a-nd
sensational daring, will show the people
of Georgia why it is that they have
won such a high place in the hall of
fame.
There will be three days of marvelous,
dazzling flights, during which time the 1
famous triumvirate of air kings will hold
spirited contests in eevry style of avia
tion yet known • to man
It will be a glorious occasion, and one
long to be remembered by those who are
fortunate enough to attend. Each day
the program will be varied, and each
day six entirely separate and distinct
events will be staged for the Instruction
and amusement of the attending throngs.
SOUTH’S FIRST MEET.
This meet that is to be conducted un
der the direction of The Atlanta Journal,
will be the first event of similar char
acter and gigantic proportions that the
south has seen. It will not be a one
man, one-flight affair.
At enormous expense—for the air men
come high in more senses than one —
The Atlanta Journal has been fortunate
enough to secure the men who fly in the
bi-planes that have won fame for Glenn
Curtiss and his associates.
Ely, McCurdy and Post are known
throughout the entire world as the fore
most exponents of the art of flying. They
have proven their prowess and won their
spurs. Wherever the air men are known,
these three are accorded all praise, honor
and distinction. The Atlanta Journal, in
presenting an aviation meet to the people
of this state and city, would be satisfied
with nothing short of the best. And the
best will be provided.
THE PRICES POPULAR.
Popular prices will prevail at the avia
tion meet of The Atlanta Journal.
This, in itself, makes the coming gath
ering of the bird men at the Atlantal
speedway distinctive. Popular prices—
which means prices that are popular
•with the people—have never prevailed at
any aviation meet ever held. The enor
mous expense attached to staging such
gigantic undertakings has never justified
the lowering of admission charges so that
they were* within reach of everybody.
The Atlanta Journal, in planning its
aviation meet, not only counted upon giv
ing the people the best that could be .
secured, but eliminated all Idea of mak
ing the gathering a commercial venture.
In consequence, the general admission 1
charge to the great speedway grand
stands will be a paltry 50 cents. This is,
of course, unheard of in the past history
of like occasions, but Atlanta has been
ever a pioneer in progressiveness, and
The Atlanta Journal has not hesitated to
take this step.
KEEN COMPETITION.
Despite the fact that the three air men'
who will fly for The Atlanta Journal are
companions, and that they all work in en
tire harmony, the competition between
them is keen. There will be all sorts of
contests in every kind and style of flying
during The Atlanta Journal's meet, and
some world's records will probably be
broken.

FROM LANDING HEReJ
Immigration Officials Are
Much Interested in An
nouncement of Her Arrivial
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Immigration
officials here are interested in the ca
ble announcement that Ethel Clare Le
neve, the young woman -who fled to
Canada with Dr. Hawley Harvey Crip
pen, is on her way to this country.
Commissioner Williams declines to say;
Anything which might be regarded as
prejudicing the case.
“The case will be investigated as the
facts warrant,” he said. “If she is not
considered a desirable alien, the woman
can easily be kept out of the country
despite the fact that the English courts
acquitted her of being an accomplice of
Dr. Crippen.
“If sentence of deportation is passed
upon her, it Wijl probably be on the
'ground that she crossed the Atlantic
with Dr. Crippen to whom she was not
married. The method which would be
followed would be the same as that fol-
Iwoed in other cases.
“She would be detained by the board
ing Inspectors and ordered to Ellis is
land. There would then be a hearing
before a special board of inquiry. She
would have the right to appeal from
the decision to Ahe authorities at Wash
ington.’
Sent to Atlanta Pen
NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 24.—Louis Ma
res, a former employe in the New Or
leans postoffice, was today sentenced in
the United States district court to serve
18 months in the Atlanta federal prison
for extracting money from letters.
WILL CAPT. EMERSON SUE
WIFE FOR DIVORCE IN RENO
New York Press Says Step
father of Mrs. James Mc-
Vickar Will Get Divorce
Atlantians will be much Interested in
a story printed in the New xork Press
that Capt. Isaac E. Emerson, stepfather
of Mrs. James McVickar, who was Mrs.
“Jack” Horner, of Atlanta, has separat
ed from his wife and will, shortly aCter
Thanksgiving, leave the east for Reno,
Nevada, to secure a divpree from her.
Captain Emerson is known as “the
bromo-seltzer king,” and is head of the
Emerson Drug- company, of Baltimore,
out of which he made his millions with
that patent headache medicine. He is a
prominent clubman, owner of two steam
yachts, several country estates, a city
home in 'Baltimore, and (curiously
enough) a home in Reno, Nevada. The
Reno home is the same in which Mrs.
Margaret McKlni, Captain Emerson's
own daughter, obtained a divorce from
Smith Hollins McKim last spring.
Captain Emerson was born in Chapel
Hill, N. C- worked his way through the
university of North Carolina, entered the
drug business in Baltimore in 1879, and
in 1889 organized the Emerson Drug com
pany, with money lent him by the fa
ther of his present wife. His income is
estimated at about $1,0(M),000 a year, of
which it is said $50,000 goes to Mrs. Mc-
Kim as her annual allowance.
The news of the report.., separation
and impending divorce suit has apparent
ly stirred New York, for the paper here
quoted devotes much space to it and de
tails every triviality of gossip. It is said
that the separation took place at the
Waldorf-Astoria in New York last Sun
day, Captain Emerson taking up his
quarters at the New York club. Captain
and Mrs. Emerson have lived together
for 30 years. The Press intimates that
Mrs. Emerson will contest the divorce
suit.
“The contemplated action will be the
third of its kind in the Emerson family
within three years,” says the Press.
“First, the present 'Daisy’ McVickar di
vorced T. Mitchell Horner, of Atlanta,
Ga- who afterward sued Captain Emer
son for SIOO,OOO for alienation of her af
fections. Last spring Margaret Emer
son McKim obtained redress for her hus
band's alleged cruelties in l#r Reno de
cree. Now her millionaire father, who is
62 years old, will enter ths divorce
court.”
MRS. MARTIN CREATES
A SCENE IN COURT
Says She Would Rather Be
Electrocuted Than Use Bad
English
NEWARK, N. J- Nov. 24.—“1 would
rather be convicted and electrocuted than
to use bad English,” Mrs. Caroline B.
Martin told the court yesterday in ob
jecting to the record of her testimony
in the proceedings to determine her
sanity. If she is adjudged insane she
will be placed on trial for the murder
of her daughter. O -ey T. Snead, the East
Orange, N. J- bathtub victim.
Judge Ten Eyck ordered the word
“equable'' substituted for the word
"equitable,” and Mrs. Martin continued:
“I'm here with a friend, without a
lawyer, a jury or money. I’m being
crushed by this gagantic machine of
men and rroney.. Can't I tell when they
lie?”
The court promised to treat her with
all possible consideration, but she be
came so much excited over the testi
mony of a physician who had examined
her that she threw up her hands, sob
bed and shouted until Judge Ten Eyck
ordered a constable to remove her, and
when he approached she first screamed
and fought him and then collapsed.
On her promise to be more quiet, she
was allowed to remain iu the room.
DULANEY IS MMIGNED
ON CHADEE OF BRIBERY
Wealthy Mississippi Farmer Is
Charged With Bribery in
Connection With Senatorship
YAZOO CITY. Nov. 34.—With the for
mal reading of the indictment, the trial
lof L. C. Dulaney, the wealthy Missis
sippi planter, charged with bribery in
connection with the election of a,. United
States senator, began in earnest today.
The defendant sat calm and composed
beside his attorneys while the document
was being read.
When court convened there was no
crowd assembled. In fact, only court
attaches were present and the prelim
inary work of the court moved along
rapidly. «
The jury, as finally selected, is com
posed of ten farmers and two business
men. Counsel for the defense took up all
of yesterday in carefully examining the
jurors, and late in the day announced
that no challenges would be made.
Prior to the formal opening of court
today, there were persistent rumors
afloat that the prosecuting attorney
would ask that the case be nolle press
ed, and this was to be done at the in
stance of State Senator Bilbo, who is the
principal witness for the state. These
requorts were qulekly disposed of, how
ever. when couijt opened and Mr. Bilbo
walked in and smilingly took his seat.
ONE KILLED, 2 WOUNDED

COLMESNEIL Tex- Nov. 24.—T. F.
Hill, aged 67 years, is dead, and James
Hill, son of the man killed, and W. A.
Ferguson are wounded as a result of a
fight with knives and pistols here to
day.
The younger Hill and Ferguson were
first involved in the difficulty the former
sustaining a knife wound. The elder man
took a hand, wounding Ferguson. A mo
ment later he was killed, one pistol bul
let entering his head and another his

RED CROSS SEALS ON SALE;
A THANKSGIVING OPPORTUNITY
It takes lots of sentiment to run this old world.
Think, will you, of the quantities of it that are in evidence this good
Thanksgiving day. And who will say that it is not the very salt that
savors life and keeps it sweet and wholesome?
But somehow a change is coming over the spirit of our dreams. M e
are finding out how to crystalize sentiment.
We think of the abounding harvests, the sweetness of home and the
tenderness of loved ones, the blessings that have been showered down
upon our land and country, and all the good things that have come our
way. And it's a very wholesome line of thought. It softens and sweetens
us.
Yet we are learning not to let it go at that.
We are getting busy. That's why we are so often asked nowadays to
signalize these sentiment-fests by doing something.
Thanksgiving is a mighty good time to exploit this idea. If you feel
thankful, act thankful.
With today begins the annual sale of the Red Cross seals, the proceeds
of which go to fight tuberculosis in Atlanta. The sale goes on from
Thanksgiving to Christmas. Both are sentimental seasons Both are op
portunities.
You are asked to be just as sentimental as possible in the new-sash-
way. Help is what is needed. If you feel sentimental, act prac
tical. Lend a hand.
The whole idea is summed up in the little sentence that appears on
some of the Red Cross literature: "Make your Christmas correspondence
mean something."
Let us make our sentiment mean something.
It is perfectly splendid for us to be moved to tears by the stories of
the dread white plague. It is well that we should have our heart-strings
pulled by the piteous tales of suffering among its victims. But it is in
finitely more serviceable to show our sympathy.
Thankfulness in action is what we need.
If every person who reads this would use the little Red Cress seals
on all packages and letters he sends out between now and Christmas, those
packages and letters would bear an added meaning. They would bring to
the recipient the information that you are a new-fashioned sentimentalist
—the kind who believes in living as well as loving, in helping as well as
hoping.
TURKEY GOBBLERS '
CAOSE OF TROUBLE
BEIMDEKLEBS
Members of Fruit and Produce
Exchange Claim Advantage
Was Taken of Them Before
Board of Health
SAY THEY LOST MONEY
ON THANKSGIVING DEALS
Letter Sent to Board of Health
Signed With Name of Ex
change President Has Made
Merchants Wrathy
To the man who had to pay 30 cents'
a pound for his Thanksgiving turkey
the information that there is' trouble in
the ranks of the produce dealers may b»
good news.
But th® dealers are not happy. Some
of them say they have been stung, not
by the festive gobbler, the crowning
rooster or the cackling hen, but by cir
cumstances over which they had no
control. w But first It may be proper to
say that the rule of the board of health
requiring that all dressed poultry be
drawn before sold, is the central bone
of contention. Every few months it
bobs up and down and is suspended and
then nut in force again. This time it
has been suspended for the Thanksgiv
ing and Christmas trade, but it was not
generally known to the men who are in
the poultry business.
That, say the men who are complain
ing, is the cause of the protest they
make. . .
There is an association among dealers
known as the Atlanta Fruit and Produce
exchange, that was organized for mu
tual protection. John McCullough, of
the firm of McCullough Brothers, is its
president. Last week a letter was sent
to the board of health asking that the
law regarding the sale of drawn poultry
be suspended from November 18 to 25
and from December 20 to January 2.
This letter was signed: “John iwcvui
lough. president and representative of
the Atlanta Fruit and Produce ex-
of last week there was a
meeting of the board of health and at
this meeting appeared D. N. Mc A uU ?l '
to ask that the request be grantsd. Tnis
was done.
Now comes the complaint. TYe other
dealers in produce declare they were not
given any notice of the action
board. Members of the board and ofri-
Icials in the office of the health depart
ment say they did not send out any
notice because they thought Mr. McCul
lough was acting for the association afi
the letter was signed officially.
Men making the complaint say that
by having undrawn poultry the firm of
McCullough Brothers was enabled to put
down the price from two to three cents
a pound and then make a far greater
profit than the men who had only drawn
fowls. There is a difference, they say,
of about 10 per cent in the cost, in f
of the undrawn poultry. Had they
known of the suspension of the law. these
merchants say they could have met the
prices of the other house and made a
profit, but that having to drop from 27
cents a pound to 25, that they made lit
tle, if anything.
DEALER 6 SIGN STATEMENT.
The following statement was signed by
poultry dealers Thursday:
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 24. 1910.
We the undersigned, fruit and produce
jobbers of Atlanta Fruit and Produce .
exchange, hereby certify that we hive
not been, notified of any action whatever
of the board of health of Atlanta, in
reference to the sa.e of undrawn poul
try during the holidays.
