Senator Clark of Wyoming De
clares Something Else Must
Be Done to Guarantee Ade
quate Protection n
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Aug-. 7.—President
Wilson's action in sending former Gov
ernor jonn jLHnd to Mexico as a special
emissary in the present situation was
attacked in the senate today by Sen
ator Clark, of Wyoming, who declared
“something else must me done by the
administration to guarantee adequate
protection to Americans.”
Senator Clark presented a resolution
for an immediate investigation by the
senate foreign relations committee of
the condition of American citizens and
American property in Mexico.
“This resolution is not introduced in
a spirit of hostility to the administra
tion or of criticism of the foreign rela
tions committee.” declared the senator.
“But conditions are growing steadily
worse in Mexico. Now we learn that
Governor Lind has been sent there by
President Wilson.
LIND TRIP INSIGNIFICANT.
“That does not satisfy. Mr. Lind does
not go as the official representative of
the United States. He does not go as an
ambassador cloaked with authority to
represent the United States. He cannot
be appealed to by American citizens for
protection. Some other steps are neces
sary to give to Americans and American
property the protection they need and
are demanding."
Senator Sheppard, of Texas, presented
a summary of the strength o fthe con
stitutionalists’ forces in Mexico. The
report showed the constitutionalists
number bteween BO.000 and 80,000 and
that they are in possession of far more
than half of Mexico.
AMERICANS IN DANGER.
"We are unable to get exact and defi
nite information.” replied Senator Clark,
“about conditions in Mexico. Evidence
still continues, however, to show that
American property is being destroyed
every day, that American citizenship is
being dishonored, and even that officers
of the American government are being
shot dwn.”
Today’s official dispatches from Mexico
contained no information of the five
American officials to the Madero Lumber
company, who are believed In El Paso
to have been taken prisoners in Chin-
buahua. Inquiries are being made.
"REBEL” VIEWS.
Colonel Euardo Hay, chief of staff of
the Constitutionalist forces in Sonora,
jfcave to the senate foreign relations com
mittee today a detailed account of his
views on conditions in . texico. The
Constitutionalist movement, he declared,
controlled at least two-thirds of Mexico.
Though he made no recommendations,
Colonel Hay insisted that intervention
by the United States would make things
worse and declared impossible any medi-
ation which recognized the government
•of Huerta. His idea of the solution of
the situation was to lift the embargo on
arms so that the Constitutionalists could
carry on a more active campaign. Then,
he declared, troubles in Mexico soon
would be settled.
Huerta Won’t Treat With
Lind on Mexic Affairs
(By Associated Press.)
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 7.—President
Huerta last night reiterated the declara
tion of his policy of "hands off" in the
reply to a question as to what would be
bis attitude in case an offer of media
tion should be made by the United
States through John Lind who is coming
here as the personal representative of
President Wilson to act as adviser to
the American embassy.
“I have said publicly,” President
Huerta declared, "that I will not accept
mediation or intervention of any kind,
because national dignity and honor do
not exact it. I have declared also that
I will not treat with the rebels, and
much less will I do so if the Insinuation
that I do involves a flagrant violation
of our sovereignty.
“The question of dignity admits of no
transactions and the present struggle
should be conducted implacably until the
national aspirations are satisfied. All
should be joined in the bonds of peace,
rejecting all Suggestions of a violation
of sovereignty and any insult that may
be offered to our national dignity.”
That any suggestion by Mr. Lind or
any other foreigner that President Huer
ta shall resign in favor of a provisional
president, or that a compromise be ef
fected with the rebels, will be regarded
as unfriendly interference and resented
by the government, was the comment of
one man high in official life today.
Lind Does Not Want
Ambassador's Place
(By Associated Press.;
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 7.—John Lind,
President Wilson's personal representa
tive going to Mexico, said here today
that he would not under any circum
stances accept the ambassadorship to
Mexico at any time. Mr. Lind arrived
today and left at 11:30 o’clock this
morning for Galveston, where he will
board the battleship New Hampshire to
morrow.
Mr. Lind said he entered into the work
of personal representative of the presi
dent with pleasure but even after he had
accomplished what he expected to in the
southern republic he would not accept a
permanent post in that country. He re
fused to discuss any of the recent state
ments of President Huerta of Mexico.
REORSIH TOWNS WIN
LOWER FREIGHT RATES
Carrollton, LaGrange and Vi
enna Benefit by Commerce
jopjO uojssiluluoo
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—*-The Inter
state commerce commission on yester
day decided in favor of the towns ol
Carrollton, LaGrange ana Vierma, Ga.,
In their petitions for cheaper freight
rates.
It is estimated that the decision will
mean a loss of $4,000,000 or more per
year to the railroads, as it will prop
ably result in a readjustment of rates
throughout the south.
1 The commission finds that the arbi
trary increase of 27 cents from At
lanta to Carrollton, on shipments trom
Louisville and the west, should be 16
cents.
It finds that the arbitrary increase
of 20 cents from Atlanta to Caroliton,
on shipments from Baltimore and the
east should be 12 cents.
The commission also finds that com
modify rates should be reduced. The
rate on agricultural implements from
Louisville and the west is cut from 4i
to 43 cents, and from New Orleans and
Memphis to Atlanta it is cut to 30
cents. On canned goods the rates from
New Orleans and Memphis are cut to
46 cents for carload lots, and to 63
cents for less than canoad lots.
As to other commodities, the com
mission suggests guiding rates. It says
all rates to Carrollton should be lined
up in accordance with these, and in
this connection coffee and cotton ties
are some of the commodities mentioned.
In the LaGrange case, the conunissioh
decides that the rates uom Cincinnati
should be on the same basis as the
rates to Opelika, Ala. From other Ohio
river crossings and from New Orleans
and Memphis the rates on firstclass
are not to exceed 10 cents, Instead of
36 cents as now. On commodity rates,
LaGrange is placed on the same basis
as Opelika.
In the Vienna case, the rates to Vi
enna are placed on an equality with
Cordele, whereas the present Vienna
rates are a combination on Cordele and
Macon, whichever is the cheapest.

RETIRED ARMY OFFICERS
WILL GET NO MILITIA COIN
(By Assooi&ted Preis.)
, WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—Retired
larmy officers and enlisted men serving
[with the organized militia of the several
Istates, will not receive any of the $5,-
1000,000 annually appropriated by the
I federal government for the militia. They
I will get only their retired pay as offi
cers and men of the regular army, ac
cording to a decision today by the
I comptroller of the treasury. The order
affects many retired regulars, who also
are members of the militia.
The comptroller expressed some doubt
whether a regular army officer should
also be an officer of the state militia,
because the claims of the United States,
on his services are paramount to those
of the state. He did not decide that
question, however.
CONLEY'S WHOLE TESTIMONY
BE ALLOWED TO STAY
OF
State Ready With Corroborating Witnesses, if Evidence Is
Held to Be Admissable-Jim Conley Adds New and Sensa
tional Feature to His Testimony, Declaring He Saw Frank
Place Mary Phagan's Pocketbook in the Factory Safe
Judge L. S. Roan, presiding at the trial of Leo M. Frank, super
intendent of the National Pencil factory, who is on trial cnarged with
the murder of Mary Phagan, Wednesday afternoon reversed nlmself
in his ruling made Tuesday striking out portions of Jim Conley’s tes
timony. The judge made his ruling Tuesday but withheld announcing
it to the jury until Wednesday. His reversal means that Conley’s
testimony that he acted in the capacity of a "lookout” for the accused
superintendent on days prior to the day of the tragedy, ana also his
testimony accusing Frank of perversion remains in the testimony it
also means that Solicitor Dorsey will be allowed to present evidence
corroborating the negro sweeper as to Frank’s attitude toward him
and his conduct in the negro’s presence.
CONLEY ADDS NEW F JNSATION.
Jim Conley, who left the witness stand at 11:10, after sixteen hours
of direct and cross examination, added sensational feature to his testi
mony Wednesday by the declaration tha* he saw Frank take the mesh
bag or pocket book carried by Mary Phag n from the desk in his office
and place it in the safe. So far as the public knows the mesh bag has
never been found.
Over the protest of the attorneys ior the defense, Solicitor Dorsey
managed to get before the jury that Frank tad refused to face his accuser
Jim Conley when the detectives sought to arrange an interview at the
tower.
For the first time since the trial has been in progress applause
broke out in the court room when Solicitor Dorsey after a dispute with
counsel for the defense over testimony given by Detective Scott, was sus
tained by the reading of the court stenographic notes. Dorsey had con
tended that Scott testified that Frank told him on April 28th about Mrs.
White’s having seen a negro near the foot of the stairs on the day of the
tragedy. Although the defendant had given this information to the Pin
kerton detectives on April 28, declared the/solicitor, it was May 7 before
the state’s detectives knew about it. When the stenographer’s report of
Scott’s testimony was read, sustaining the solicitor, applause broke forth
in several parts of the court room at once. Those responsible for it were
immediately ejected by the deputie.
Dr. H. F. Harris is expected to take the stand Wednesday afternoon
and finish his testimony. He will probably be under cross-examination
for an hour or more. The state expects to finish the presentation of its
case Thursday.

ANOTHER SHOOTING IN N. Y.
A LA HERMAN ROSENTHAL
Gunmen Shoot Victim in Cof
fee House and Escape
in Auto
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—William Lustig,
a young man of whom the police know
little except that he comes from a re
spectable family and who has a brother
who is a process server attached to the
district attorney’s office, is dying in
Bellevue hospital today, the victim of
assassins, whose work recalls the gun
men’s methods in the Herman Rosen
thal murder more than a year ago.
Lustig is believed to have been lured
to “Humpty” Jackson’s coffee house by
a woman last night. The couple had
just taken a seat at a table when the
woman suddenly left and Lustig started
after her. He found his exit barred by
four men, with revolvers gleaming. They
all fired and three of the four shots
took effect.
A big black touring car, whose motor
was being started just as the shooting
occurred, provided means of escape for
the gunmen and they were speeding
away before the policemen on nearby
posts could reach the scene. The gun
men threw their revolvers into the
street. The police have no clue to the
identity of the men nor any knowledge
of what led up to the mysterious shoot
ing.

found on the oposite side of the banh
where the engine had nit the bank be
fore falling to the bottom of the gap.
Before the embankment of the cul
vert gave way twenty feet of watei
had backed up. But the gap was there
before the train came along. This is
shown by the fact that hay in some
of the cars is not wet. There is about
three feet of water In the wreckage
now
The accident occurred on the West
ern and Atlantic railway over which
the L. & N. runs.
Owing to the fact that the rest of the
train crew were on the rear end of the
train they escaped injury.
When the wreck occurred th© train
was going at its regular rate of speed
of about fifteen miles an hour.
The wrecked train was south bound
coming to Atlanta. The crew was made
up at the railway division point at Et-
awah. This is the main line of the
Western and Atlantic.
