(By Aaaoeiatsd Press.) 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. MANY ENTRIES FOR DALTON POULTRY SHOW DALTON, Ga., Nov. 24.—Entries/ for the Dalton poultry show were not com plete until Wednesday, the second day of the show; but now there are between 500 and 750 birds on display. The premi ums will e awarded Friday, the closing day of the show. One fowl that is attracting attention is the prise Partrule Wyandotte cock of this year's Chicago show. 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 Jersey and Wife Both Are Slain (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. "NIGHT-BEFORE-THANKSGIVING" POSSUM HUNT bhk wHhLjiTEWK' A ■ lit f !i L KaEL wlSpls/ .-3 .

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. vA gzsligSMllMz. .

MAY Bftß ETHEL LENEVE 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 IN TEXAS FIGHT 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 heart. L\ G. Mann, a fourth party to the fray, ’it is alleged, was arrested. 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.
