THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA„ FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1913. TO EO TO MEXICO FROM THE STATES President Wilson and Mem bers of Congress Are Con sidering This as Next Step in Handling the Situation SAYS HE L INDICT WASHINGTON, July 24.—Repeal of the neutrality proclamation prohibiting the exportation of arms to Mexico is being- considered by the administration as the next step in the Mexican situa tion. Conferences between President Wilson and congressional leaders were planned today for a discussion of the proposal, to which many leaders have given their approval. While official statements were lacking today as to what support President Wilson had given to the project, a par tial canvas of the house and senate for eign affairs committees led those inter ested in the move to believe that the prohibition against the shipment of arms could be appealed with little de- \ lay. "LET ’EM FIGHT IT OUT." It is understood to be the belief of administration officials that should free exportation of arms be permitted to all factions in Mexico, the present situation might adjust itself. The constitution alists repeatedly have claimed that lack of arms is their only bar to quick vic tory. The repeal is proposed on the ground that there is no recognized government in Mexico and that when the prohibition was enacted a regularly constituted government, recognized officially by the United States, was in existence. Mexicans Hold American For Ransom, Says Report (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, July 24.—Acting sec iretary Roosevelt of the navy today called upon Rear Admiral Cowles at Guaymas to investigate the report that Thomas Hind, assistant general super intendent of the Southern Pacific rail road in Mexico, is held for ransom by Mexican federals there. The state de partment was without information on the matter. The supply ship Buffalo, which sailed from Guaymas to Topolobampo, has re ported conditions quiet there. The bat tleship Louisiana, which went .to Tux- pan, has returned to Vera Cruz. This lat ter movement leads navy department of ficials to conclude that a measure of order has been restored at Tuxpkn, re lieving Americans of. the danger they were in when the battleship was sent there under rush orders. State department reports today stated that . while the activities of American cowbodys, at Madera had strained rela tions at that place, there was said to be little danger except to the persons responsible for the killing of two of "El Mocho’s" bandits. General Pancho Villa, of the constitutionalist forces, is reported to be taking an interest in the safety of Americans at Madera, the fed erals having no force in the vicinity. Suspension of communication between Saltillo and Monterey and Torreon is reported from Saltillo with no com munication over the National railway to the south. Congressman Denies State ment That He Was Retain ed While in the House . WASHINGTON, July 24.—Martin M. Mulhall today retracted his charge against Representative Watson, of In diana. BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 24.— "When Martin Mulhall, or by whatever name he is known, and I understand he has been known by many names, swears that he or any other man paid me $500 while I was a member of congress to represent the national manufacturers or any other organization, he lies, and I will have him indicted for it if I can accomplish that result," said former Representative James E. Watson, of Indiana, today. The former representative was today in consultation with one of the ablest Washington lawyers to retain him to prosecute Mulhall. This was the result of the testimony given by Mulhall yes terday that he hired former Congress man Watson by paying him a retainer ol' $500, while he was still in congress. The former congressman said today that he was retained in April after his term in congress had expired. He said that a committee of one hundred of the National Association of Manufacturers, created by a national convention in In dianapolis, wired to him asking him to come to Washington, and engaged him to take up the work for them. Mulhall, he declares, had nothing to do with his retention. He claims he has witnesses waiting in Washington who will im peach Mulhall on other vital points in his testimony. He is mad clear through. The former representative has retain ed lawyers and intends to proceed against newspapers for libel that at tribute to him conduct unworthy or cor rupt as the result of his work, which he claims is above criticism. He named a prominent western publisher who in editorials had referred to him in what he contends ij libelous phrase, whom he says he will proceed against, both crim inally and, civilly without delay. It was learned today authoritatively that Mulhall was under investigation following his dismissal from the United States secret service, where he served under the name of "Michael," not Mar tin Mulhall, in the a<fministration of president Harrison. Three investiga tions were held and each report was ad verse to him and he w r as refused Re instatement. The secret service has sent to the senate lobby committee, at the commit tee's request, the report of these inves tigations, which the committee has not yet made public. The report shows that Mulhall v^as twice an enlisted man in the navy. He has had a most re markable career. Governor Levi P. Mor ton was once asked to appoint him as factory inspector in New York, but, learning of the record in the treasury department of investigation of Mulhal’s conduct, asked for a certification of the record from the treasury department. On receiving it Governor Morton refused to appoint him.

FOUR U. S. SAILORS ARE PRAISED FOR BRAVERY (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, July 24.—Acting sec retary Roosevelt today wrote to four sailors commending them for gallantry and disregard of personal safety in aid ing comrades in distress. Henry E.

Apparently They Have Decid ed That Further Opposition Is Useless (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, July 24.—Senator* Democrats declared today that few set tariff speeches would come from their side of the chamber. Senator Gallinger, leader of the Republicans, was in dif ficulty finding Republican senators ready to speak in opposition of the bill after Senator Smoot was through. "We are not going to take up time debating this bill,” said Chairman Sim mons, of the finance committee. "If the bill proves not to be for the benefit of the country, it will demonstrate that our ideas of the tariff are wrong; if it proves to be well for the country, it will demonstrate that the opposition is wrong. That is all there is to this proposition, and we are ready and anxious now to pass the bill. It is going to pass." SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD LAD GIVEN TEN YEARS (By Associated Press.) LAKE CHARLES, La., July 24.— Herschel Pierce, the seventeen-year-old boy who confessed to stealing almost $22,000 from the Wells-Fargo Express company's chest in the railroad sta tion here, pleaded guilty today and was sentenced to ten years’ imprison ment.

BURKE LEFT BIG Aged Banker Speculated in Stocks Until He Was 91 Years Old (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, July 24.—Testimony in connection with the appraisal of the estate of John Masterson Burke, who died in December, 1909, has brought out the fact that a few years before he died the aged banker made his housekeeper and companion, Vincenta M. Fensley, a present of 2,500 shares of Union Pa cific stock valued at $450,000. Mr. Burke was ninety-seven years old when he died and his housekeeper died less than a year later at the age of seventy-two. Th testimony in connec tion with the appraisal also showed that at the age of ninety-one Mr. Burke, was still speculating in stock to add to his fortune. In 1902 Mr. Burke put $4,000,000 worth of real estate in trust to establish the Winifred Masterson Burke Relief foundation for a home for convalescents and by his will gave the foundation $2,- 435,000 additional. He left only $39,- 243 in his will to his housekeeper, but the testimony brought out the previous large gift. m reda of our agents are making $10 ■in their spare time.

C., July 24.—One hundrde and thity-three thousand, eight hundred and sixteen dollars and forty- seven cents was collected from the cor- poartion license taxfor the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, according to a [report made public today by Comptrol- 1 ler General A. W. Jones. This is an in- Jcrease of over $11,000 for the previous (year, and more than double the amount jwhich was collected in 1905.

ROME, July 24.—A group of sixty- four Canadian and American pilgrims were received in private audience to day by the pope. They were conducted by the Right. Rv. Michael F. Fallon bishop of London, Ontario, who pre sented Peter’s pence amounting to $2, ,000. * As the result of an opinion rendered Governor Slaton by Attorney Geneial T. S. Felder Tuesday morning, the school teachers of the state stand a good chance to obtain a portion of their un paid 1913 salaries within the next sixty days. * Replying to a series of questions pro pounded to him by the governor, Attor ney General T. S. Felder rules that since the adoption last year of a con stitutional amendment increasing the borrowing power of the state from $200,- 000 to $500,000 to supply temporary de ficits the state "can unquestionably bor row for the purpose of meeting a defi ciency arising because the appropria tions exceed the revnues, provided, of course, the deficiency is cai^sed by the necessary delay in collecting the taxes of the year, and that the loan made for the purpose of meeting the defi ciency is repaid out of the taxes levied for the year in which the loan is made. "Prior to the adoption of the amend ment it was very questionable whether a borrow could be made for the pur pose of supplying a deficiency of the character you mention. We know, of course, that it was done, and while this was the executive construction of the constitution, it is extremely : doubtful if the judicial department of our gov ernment would have followed such con struction had the question been present ed to it.” After receiving the attorney general’s letter Tuesday morning, Governor Slaton said that he would transmit to the gen eral assembly both his own letter to the attorney general and the latter’s construction of the law. Several resolutions have been intro duced at this session designed to au thorize the governor to borrow money with which to pay the school teachers and to meet other anticipated deficits. In the event the legislature authorizes a borrow Governor Slaton says he will go into the money market and negotiate a loan provided one can be obtained at a reasonable rate of interest. Answering another one of the ques tions put to him by the governor, At torney General Felder says: "Under the constitution as amended I think money can be borrowed to meet appropriations which have been made for the institutions of the state, if at the time there is a deficit in the treas ury caused from the necessary delay in the collection of the taxes of the particular year in which it is proposed to make the borrow, and that the loan so made can be repaid out of said taxes when collected. In other words, if it would be legal at the time to pay a particular appropriation were the funds then actually in the treasury from the collection of the taxes levied for the particular year, then the collection of the taxes may be anticipated and the money borrowed to meet the deficit. Un der the constitution as it stood before \he # amendment the, loan could not be made for any purpose except to meet a casual deficiency." 39 GAGED CONVICTS BOHN T MR.

JACKSON, Miss., July 24.—Trapped by flames in the second story of an an tiquated convict case, the first floor of which was used to store hay, grain and molasses, thirty-five negro prisoners were burned to death at the Oakley convict farm, twenty miles from here, late last night. With the flames rapidly eating away on the only stairway leading to the sec ond floor, the entrapped prisoners fran tically tore at the heavy bars that cov ered the windows, but to no avail. Their screams brought the two night guards to the scene before they had seen the flames, and soon other prison attaches huried to the “cage.” Their efforts were futile, however, as the flames drove them back each time they attempted to liberate the men. At last they tsood aghast when slowly the frantic screams of the burning con victs died away as one after another succumbed to the flames. Finally all was quiet, and the smell of burned human flesh permeated the air as the flames devoured the last of the build ing. BUILDING OLD STRUCTURE. The building was constructed ten years ago of lumber taken from a dis carded penitentiary; there is no fire fighting apparatus at the farm and the first floor of the building was filled with inflammable material. Farmers living nearby hurried to the scene to help the two guards—all that are on duty at night—and other prison attaches, but they were of no assistance, as the fire burned too rapidly. It was only a few minutes from the time the fire started until it had claimed its awful toll. The convicts all were worked In the cotton fields of the state far mand were housed in the "cage” at night. Among them were some desperate criminals serving long sentences. The Oakley farm Is one of the most important in the state, the state prison hospital being located there. No other building was in danger, however, as the destroyed "cage” was some distance from other buildings. The Are started under the stairway on the first floor. The origin has not been determined.

Y„ July 24.—The exact number of persona who perished in the fire in the Binghamton Clothing company’s overall factory yesterday may never be knowrf. The list of em ployes is in the ruins. Only a half dozen of the bodies recovered have been identified. A careful estimate today places the number of those in the building at the time the fire started at 111. of these only fifty-three are known to have been saved. Six dead have been identified. Fifteen bodies, charred beyond rec ognition, are at the morgue; seven in jured are in the hospitals; forty-six, several slightly injured, are safe at their homes. Eleven have been re ported by relatives as missing, and twenty-six others are unaccounted for. Mrs. Ida Prentiss, who suffered ter rible burns about the head, died today, and Mrs. Mary Benny, another of the injured, is not expected - to recover. City physicians estimated the death toll at fifty, but admit it may reach sixty. Bodies of several girls lost in the center of the building may never be found. _ Crowds gathered about the scene of the disaster today and silently watched the men at work in the debris. Charred bits of human flesh were picked up here and there. At noon a body was recovered, burned beyond recognition. District Attorney Meager announced that a thorough investigation would be made to ascertain the cause of the ac- dident. ONE FUNERAL FOR UNIDENTIFIED. As many of the bodies are unrecog nizable. a public funeral will be con ducted by the city, and the unknown dead will be buried in a plot upon which a shaft will be erected. Frank S. Ash, of Binghamton, an in spector for the state labor department, said today the fire escapes on the build ing were of a type approved by the state regulations. DEAD AND MISSING. A revised list of the dead and miss ing reported up to noon was as fol lows: MART PRIOR, Wilkesbarre, Pa. JOHN E. SCHOEMAKER, Philadel phia. MARGUERETA DIAMOND. MRS. THOMAS DORAN. IDA GOLDEN. NELLIE GLEASON. MRS. ANNA GLEASON. LOUISE HARTMAN. LENA KENNEDY. • LOUISE SCHELPF. CATHERINE SULLIVAN. MRS. FILLMORE. LOUISE HARTWELL. MARY SMITH. NELLIE CONNERS. MRS. IDA PRENTISS. SIDNEY DIMMORICK.

The list of the 134 employes of the company who were on the pay roll Sat urday, some of whom were on vacation, is in the safe under the ruins, making the task of compiling the list of dead a difficult one. FINANCIAL LOSS $200,000. The loss by fire and water to the buildings and stock of five concerns is estimated at more than $200,000. largely covered by insurance. The postofflee, built about twenty years ago. was badly damaged, but the mails were saved. A temporary office has been established In a nearby gar age. The loss of the Binghamton Clothing company was estimated at about $40,- 000, all covered by insurance. This does not include the building, which was rented. The heavy loss of life is believed to have been largely due to the fact that the employes, believing that the alarm was intended for a fire drill, were slow in leaving the building Even when it became known that the building was on fire many returned to the dressing rooms on the upper-floor for clothes and valuables The flames spread with lightning-like rapidity, and the, intensity of the heat prevented the firemen from getting within fighting range of the overall fac tory until rescue was Impossible. ARE ROASTED TO DEATH. Women and girls, too weak to go farther, dropped, exhausted, on the sin gle fire escape in the rear of the build ing and literally roasted to death, por tions of the bodies dropping into the streets. Others jumped and were killed. Half a dozen of the panic-stricken girls rushed Into the elevator, which was standing on the fourth floor. A moment later all dropped to their death. Only the efficiency of the fire depart ment prevented the spread of the flames to business blocks lining Water street, between Court and Henry streets. Volunteer firemen employed in shops along the line of the Erie railroad, who were in the city for their annual tour- ament, aided the local firemen. In oliday clothes, they assisted In run- ing lines of hose to the tops of build- ■lgs that were threatened.
