WOUNDED MEN SLAIN
IN MEXICAN BATTLE
The cold during Sunday and Sunday
night probably did little damage to the
peach crop. In the opinion of R. Lee
Worsham, state entomologist, peaches
escaped wherever the temperature went
no lower than 26 degrees,, and only in
occasional instances did the cold be
come go acute.
The weather bureau reports that the
lowest temperature reached herp was
SO degrees, and the minimum tfempei*-
ature 1 ncentral and southern parts of
the state probably remained above
the freezing point.
In occasional instances, however, sur
prisingly lo'w temperatures were record
ed. The thermometer at the residence of
Mr. Worsham registered 22 degrees Mon
day morning, and at first led him to
think that 20 to 25 per cent of the
crop in north Georgia had bieen dam
aged or killed.
But this low temperature seems to
have been due to a peculiar local con
dition, and other temperatures of less
than 30 degrees were confined in extent
B.nd could not have affected more than a
few trees.
In southern and middle Georgia the
jcold seems to have been insufficient
to have caused any damage whatsoever.
"The trees in north Georgia are real
ly backward, instead of being unusually
developed,” said Mr. Worsham, ‘‘and- I
don’t believe that over .20 or 25 per cent
had bloomed. A temperature of less
than 26 degrees would have injured these
trees, but a less acute cold wou}d hardly
have damaged them.
“Wh*ether or not the trees were wet
5s an important consideration. But the
wind had been high, and it is likely
that the buds had dried before the
cold came.”
The trees in middle and south Georgia
are well advanced. But since the mini
mum temperature registered here was
30 degrees, it is hardly probable that
freezing weather was experienced far
ther south.
Reports received by The Journal Mon
day, from correspondents in all of the
fruit belts of Georgia, state, that with
the exception of sections around Rome
and Lawrenceville, absolutely no dam
age' was done to fruit or vegetables.
The peach crop at Lawrenceville was
badly damaged, if not a total loss. The
fruit in the vicinity of Rome was also
injured, but not entirely killed.
Reports from Dalton, Cartersville,
Mount Airy and Cornelia say that the
crop is safe; Macon growers say there
will be no damage in Middle Georgia,
while South Georgia had neither freeze
nor frost.

WASHINGTON, March 17.—It is
about settled that Pr.of. John B. Moore,
on e of the leading American authori
ties on international law, will become
counseller of the state department. He
Is accepting the offer of President Wil
son, and Secretary of State Bryan at a
great personal an<f financial sacrifice
thus indicating his willingness to nelp
the administration in making good.
Another bit,-of news today was that
National Chairman William F. Mc
Combs has accepted the ambassadorial
mission to France.
His nomination to be ambassador to
France was prepared at the White
House today and as it was about to be
transmitted to the senate it was with
held at Mr. McCombs’ request. Mr.
McCombs has decided to accept the
post and it is said the delay does not
mean a change in his intentions.
There is no affirmative information
yet about the efforts of Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds to obtain a solicitor
general who suits him, Mr. McReynolds
is extremely .close mouthed about this
appointment. ,
It is known, however, that there will
be no solicitor general on the job dur
ing this term of the supreme court,
which means that there will be none
until the summer months because tfye
present supreme court session will run
Into June. '
William J. Hughes, a Democrat, and
a •. assistant attorney since 1885, is now
acting solicitor; he will handle all the
l ^deral cases pending before the su
preme court. It is the belief that the
delay over filling the post is due to
the great care that Mr. McReynolds is
exercising in selecting a man for this
important place. »
There li&s been a movement on foot
to have former Judge John W. Wescott,
of Camden, named as solicitor, but it
has not received any encouragement,
and it is certain that this mantle will
not fall upon the shoulders of Mr. Wes-
icott. Mr. wescott will be placed in
line for something else.

COURT ENJOINS NEW
POSTMASTER GENERAL
Burleson Enjoined From En
forcing Newspaper Pub
licity Law
(By Asaoceated Press.)
WASHINGTON. March 17—The su
preme court today granted a restraining
order to prevent Postmaster General
Burleson from enforcing the newspaper
publicity law while the court has under
consideration the question of its con
stitutionality.
The injunction was granted upon a
Request last week by Robert C. Norris,
attorney for the New York Journal of
Commerce, which has attacked the valid
ity of the act. Postmaster General Bur
leson had notified him that newspapers
which had not filed statements required
by the law would be penalized.

Democratic Caucus Convenes
Again Late in Afternoon
Monday
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, March 17.—The sen
ate notified President Wilson early this
afternoon that it was prepared to end
the present special session if the presi
dent had nothing further to bring be
fore it.
Senators Kern and Gallinger were sent
to the White House 'to learn the presi
dent’s wishes and the senate recessed
until 2 o’clock.
The committee brought back word
that the president had nothing further
to communicate and after confirming the
nominations sent in today the senate
adjourned sine die at 2:09 p. m. and will
reassemble in extraordinary session on
April 7.
Democratic plans to prevent concen
tration of control in the senate, by giv
ing the majority members of any com
mittee power to regulate its affairs, were
taken up to day in a party caucus.
Resolutions pending proposed impor
tant changes in methods that have been
followed in selecting committee chair
men and controling committee meetings
and making other changes that would
make it impossible for senate control
to drift into the hands of a small num
ber.
The senate reorganization was com
pleted Saturday with the exception of
the arrangement of patronage and ac
tion upon the general resolution.
The caucus, however, made little
progress and as the senate met £t noon
today, it adjourned until late in the
day.

Rebels Attack Border Town
but Are Repulsed After
Street Fight
j (By Agsociated Pre«8.)
LAREDO. March 17.—The streets of
Nuevo Laredo, the Mexican town oppo
site this city, were the scene of a bat
tle lasting an hour and a half this fore
noon. in which twenty Caranzistas and
fifteen federals were killed. Nearly fifty
soldiers were wounded.
The Caransistas retreated to the hills
south of Nuevo Laredo; where they ap
pear to be preparing for a fresh as
sault.
They stole into Nuevo Laredo under
cover of darkness, 200 strong, and at
dayligh't began a stubborn fight with
the 350 federals defending Nuevo Lare
do. The fighting part of the time was
near the Rio Grande river, glimpses of*
it being visible from Laredo. Appar
ently it was a J cruel fight. One rebel sol
dier was seen to fall as if dead, but
when the charging federals reached
him he raised his head. A federal lev
eled a rifle, blowing off part of the top
of the wounded man’s head. Whereupon
several federals kicked the body out
the way until it rolled down the em
bankment of the Rio Graqde. It was
reported that the federals received or
ders to exterminate the Carranzistas.
The small band of constitutionalists
in a running fight drove headlong into
Nuevo Laredo past the customs house
to a lard factory where they made a
stand. This occurred between four a.
in. and dawn.
At daybreak the federals deployed
about the lard factory apparently taking
cere to draw the rebels’ fire in a line
parallel to the Rio Grande so that nb
bullets should fall into Laredo. The
lard factory is-about 500 feet from the
river bank.
After a sharp* fight here the rebels
retreated in good order into an open
area where they deliberately halted and
checked the federal pursuit. The fed
eral troops divided. One detachment,
swinging around to flank the Carran
zistas.
This flank movement brought the fed
erals directly between the rebels and
Laredo so that the rebel fire w’as di
rected at this city. The close range
of the battle, however, saved the Amer
ican city only one report of a bullet
crossing the river having been received
several hours after the battle.
This missile pierced the roof of a
garage a mile from the fighting but
did no other damage. Most of the
rebel bullets, as well as those of /ho
federals apparently were stopped by
the bodies ojf the fighters themselves in
this brief flanking movement. 0
From Laredo men could be seen drop
ping everywhere on the little battle
field. The worst havoc was in the ranks
of the Carranzistas who quickly broke
into a disorderly retreat getting out of
Nuevo Laredo on a dead run. The
federals did not pursue them beyond
the city limits.
The. federals estimated the wounded
16 and the ijebel wounded at more than
2o. After tne battle American Consul
Garrett at Nuevo Laredo telephoned to’
Laredo requesting American physicians
to cross into the Mexican town to care
for the wounded.
The Carranzistas had encamped last
night about five miles from Nuevo Lare
do. They attempted to take the town
by surprise but the federals had out
posts watching for them.

J, J, Gordy, of Molena, and
Johnnie McLendon Perish
in Roaring Waters as People
on Banks See Them Make
Vain Effort to Save Dying
Woman
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MOLENA, Ga., March 17.—In an ef
fort to summon medical aid to a dying
woman, a Mrs. McLendon, J. J. Gordy
a well known citizen of this county
gave up his life, and the young son of
the woman, Johnnie McLendon, perish
ed with him.
The terrific rains of the last two days
swelled the streams to such an extent
that all the bridges for miles were
carried away and the roaring waters
of Elkin creek madly rushed between
the desperately stricken woman and
medical aid.
Mr. Gordy secured a boat and launch
ed out on the perilous voyage, to the
opposite side.
Citizens stood on the bank and watch
ed intently, as he determinedly grasp
the oar, assisted by the lad, and start
ed on the errand'of mercy which cost
their lives. Within a few yards of
the bank the boat. was suddenly cap
sized. In a moment the lad disap
peared beneath the angry waves. Mr.
Gordy made a desperate effort to
swim, but the current was too strong.
His awe stricken friends on the bank
saw him throw up his hands as im
ploring them for help, and the next
moment he disappear^ beneath the
murky waves. ,
His body was found several hours
later. His mother, wife and six chil
dren survive him. The lad’s body has
not been found.
Ask Recognition As Minority
Party in Preference to
Republicans
rj i
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, March 17.—The Bull
Moose party is to be given official rec
ognition in the lower house of congress.
Dertiocratic Leader L T nderwood has giv
en the small body of Moose his per
sonal assurances to this effect, and
promised that they will be recognized
on the more important committees of
the house, independent of the regular
Republican minority organization.
The next house of representatives will
number among its membership about
twenty-five Bull Moose, most of them
from the west and middle-western
states.
A committee representing the Moose
congressmen waited upon Leader Un
derwood on Saturday, to ascertain their
status in the organization of the house.
They demanded recognition independent
of the Republican organization, and in
sisted that, in fact, the Moose, and
not the Republicans constituted the
minority.
“The ‘Bull Moose’ party polled more
votes in the last election t|ian did the
Republican party,” asserted the Spokes
man, “and the Moose congressmen are
entitled to be recognized as the repre
sentatives of the minority in the
house.”
Leader Underwood declared that the
I Democrats would recognize the Bull
j Moose as “A” minority party, but not
! “The” minority party, provided the
[ Moose intend to have an organization
j entirely independent of the Republicans.
"We intend to nominate one of our
number for speaker and to offer candi
dates for every office in the house or-
| ganization,” said the Moose leader.
“We do not intend to support the
Republican candidates for speaker,
; clerk, etc., and we shall demand repre-
' sentation on the more important com-
i mittees.”
Mr. Underwood accepted the state
ment at its ^ace value, and told the
moose congressmen that he' could as
sure them of recognition on important
and desirable committees, regardless of
the attitude °f the Republican caucus
and the recommendations of the Re
publican leader.
Democrats in the house hail with de
light the extent of the rupture in the
Republican ranks. They are perfectly
willing that there shall be two minori
ties in the house, because they believe
it will better enable them to handle
the legislative situation. Moreover,
they believe that President Wilson’s at
titude of fairness to the progressives
will result in many, if not all, of the
Moose congressmen joining with Dem
ocrats.

NO APPOINTMENTS TO BE
Democratic President Issues
His First Proclamation Con
vening the Sixty-third Con
gress in Extra Session
WASHINGTON, March 17.—President
Wilson today telegraphed to J. Warren
Davis, Democratic leader of th6 New*
Jersey state senate, and to Governor
James F. Fielder, demanding that the
pending jury reform bill he passed with
out amendment.
“I feel very strongly,” telegraphed
the president, “our party’s unequivocal
commitment to the jury reform and
that the terms of referendum in the
present bill are a virtual nullification
of the reform. Can w*e not give the
people what they demand without qual
ification?”
The hill providing that a commission
appointed by the governor of the state
should choose jurors instead of sher
iffs, was ending when Mr. Wilson re
signed the governorship.
He told the state leaders that he
would come back to New Jersey if nec
essary to speak in favor of the hill.
Since that time the measure has passed
the house but with an amendment at
tacked requiring that the question he
submitted a referendum.
, Mr. Wilson said at the time that he
aid not object to a referendum if it
were a’/ honest one. He now takes the
position that the referendum as pro
posed delayed the Issue of jury reform
and he appepaled to the state senate be
fore whom the bill is pending to drop
the amendment.
President Wilson’s objection to the!
amendment is because it is so draw*n
that the referendum would fail unless
33 per cent of all voters who cast bal
lots for all parties at the last election
took part in it. Under such circum
stances the president feels that every
voter who did not attend the election
would in effect lie counted against the
proposal while the intention might be
to the contrary.

FORTY LITTLE DARKIES
MADE ROOFLESS BY STORM
Forty little negro children, sleeping
soundly in the Carrie Steele Orphans’
home last Thursday night, were sud
denly awakened by a terrific clap of
thunder. Above them the roof had been
half-way torn off and the rain was pour
ing in through the opening.
A bolt of lightning had struck the
house and split the roof. The chil-
dren were panic-stricken, many of them
running out into the storm. No one
< injured, although some were
drenched to the skin.
WASHINGTON, March 17.—President
Wilson today issued the formal procla
mation convening congress in extra
session at noon on April 7.
The president’s pronouncement today
was brief and followed form closely.
It stated merely that “whereas, public «
interests require,” congress would be
convened in extra session by order of
the executive.
Originally Mr. Wilson had fixed upon
April 1 as the date, Representative Un
derwood, Democratic majority leader,
having informed him that the tariff
bills to which it was agreed congress
should give immediate attention, would
be ready on that date. Mr. Underwood
found, however, that the ways and
means committee would need another
week to draft the tariff schedules, and 1
today’s proclamation is in deference to
the wishes of Leadeu Underwood and
house leaders.
The absence of any specific reason for
calling of the extra session, is explain
ed by the fact that Mr. Wilson’s state
ment immediately after his election de
clared that lie would call an extra (ses
sion to revise the tariff.
President Wilson plans to point out
specifically his wishes for the extra ses
sion in his first message, in prepara
tion.
This, it is known from talks the
president has had with members of,
congress, will* outline the administra
tion’s idea of how the tariff should be
revised and just what schedules shduld
be taken up.
The belief is general that the entire
message will be taken up with a dis
cussion of the tariff with the exception
of the last paragraph or two, which
will draw attention*to the need of cur
rency legislation at the earliest possi
ble moment and will indicate>the pur-
pose of the president to send later a
special message on that or other sub
jects which he believes should be taken
up by the new congress.
The tariff plan will be submitted first
to a caucus and then directly to the
house by the ways and means com
mittee.
REPORT READY BY APRIL 7.
“The Aqmmittee will be ready to re
port by that time,” said Democratic
Leader Underwood today.
“There will be no trouble about re
porting the revised plan when the con
gress convenes.”
The majority of the ways and means
committee today began taking up the
administrative features of the new tar
iffs These provisions relate to the va -_
riety of t&ss-k&fla iiot&s*l routine 'and the
efforts of the Democrats in changing
the terms and phraseology of the ad
ministrative section are to simplify and
facilitate the customs work both in the
interest of the government and im
porters. A number of changes along
that line weire suggested by witnesses
during the tariff hearings in January.
The tariff revision plan will be in
such condition that whatever form the
caucus determines upon can be reported
immediately out pf the committee, and
the whole tariff discussion formally
opened in the house without delay.
There will be no attempt to name all
or even the bulk of the house commit
tees at the outset of the extra ses
sion, that being reserved under the pres
ent plan until toward«the close of the
extra session, so as to obviate any un
necessary legislation until the regular
session of congress convenes in Decem
ber,
The ways and means committee per
sonnel already has been determined on
in Democratic caucus of the Sixty-third
congress, and it will be ratified by the
house at the opening of the extra ses
sion. when the committee on rules,
mileage and accounts also' will be
named. Whether any other committees
will be created for doing business at
the extra session depends on develop
ments between now and April 7. #
