THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1913. — -r.rr ■’ — ' 1 ^HUERTA DECLARES DUG METHODS TO 8E TOLD OK EXPERTS Charge O'Shaughnessy Wires Mexican President's Denial Through Minister Gamboa to Secretary Bryan BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—President Wilson was in his office at an early hour this morning. His first caller was Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, who was chairman of the senate committee on -oreign relations when the Republic ans controlled the senate. Lodge was accompanied by Senator Stone, of Mls- «o .i, who ranks next to the chairman vf caat committee. Lodge and Stone had a brief inter view with the-president and then de- patred .without revealing the object of their visit. In the meantime the White House, while giving out the denials of the threatening attitude of the Huerta gov ernment of Mexico, acknowledged that there was a “situation” pending in Mexico, and intimated that the day might bring on some decisive informa tion. Representatives of newspapers were informed that the White House would keep in touch with them all day. The president, it was stated, w T as con sidering the advisability of making public today the text of instructions to John Lind when he was sent to Mexi co. But it was also intimated that ac tive negotiations were proceeding, and toe next step by this government might hinge on the result of such nego tiations. Tne situation in Washington was complicated by the intemperate atti tude of the local press. Both Wash ington morning papers carried strong ■«w* war dispatches and stronger Washing- flg*jton war articles. One paper printed a " heading running across the top of the page making the flat stataement the United States and Mexico '‘'-were now on a war footing. The oth- - f -er one was nearly as flagrant. The result naturally was exci ement among | public men. While Lodge and Stone were with the president, senators and members began to gather in the presi- - ^dent's outer office, seeking information to the situation, and to all of them f;5 Secretary Tumulty read the denial of r "Charge 0‘Shaughnessy and the dispatch from Jobra Lind, telling of his long and cordial interview with the Mexican It % president. H • Among those who called were Oscar W. Underwood, Democrat floor leader of the house and A. Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania, one of the president’s confidential advisers in the house. They were followed in rapid succession by others and each, upon being informed F situation, hurried to the capitol to re- 1 in general terms of the nature of the peat what he had learned to his col- Uu^ieagues.

FIVE CANDIDATES FDD T Underwood, Clayton, Heflin, Abercrombie and Hobson Prominently Mentioned (BY RALPH SMITH.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 21.—Five Alabama congressmen are “prominently mentioned” as possible candidates for the Upited States senate., They are Ma jority Leader Oscar W. Underwood, au thor of the tariff bill and chairman of the ways and means committee; Henry D. Clayton, of Eufaula, chairman of the judiciary committee, who was oppointed by Governor O’Noil to fill Senator John ston’s unexpired term; J. Thomas Heflin, of LaFayette, chairman of the industrial arts and exposition committee: John W. Abercrombie, of Tuscaloosa, congress man-at-large; and Richiriond Peorson Hobson, ardent equal suffragist and hero of the Merrimac. It is regarded a practically certain that three of these congressmen—Clayton, Heflin and Hobson—will be in the race, unless Leader Underwood tokes a notion to become a candidate. In that event, it is believed that Clayton and Heflin might decide to leave the race to Underwood and Hobson. The latter has been run ning for several months, and was pre paring to fight it out with the late Seno- tor Johnston. WILL UNDERWOOD RUN? Interest in Washington centers in the possible candidacy of Mr. Underwood. Re ports from Alabama are that he can win with comparative ease. But will he run? That is the question. Some of his friends say that he has an ambition to ‘‘round out his public career” with a term or two in the United States senate, and that he is considering seriously the situation. Others say that it would be the height of folly for Mr. Underwood to end his career in the house at this time, even though he could have a senator’s seat for the osking. As leader of the house, Mr. Underwood is unquestlonbly one of the most, if not the most, influential man in the govern ment, next to the president himself. He overshadows Speaker Clark, while neith er Senator Kern, Democratic leader, nor Senator Simmons, finance committee chairman, wield nearly so much influence in legislative matters. If he gives up this position to enter the senate, then he will lose much of his prestige and influ ence. He will go to the foot of the list in the senate, and years will elapse be fore he will be anything tike as impor tant to display his talents as a leader. His strong personality would be overshad owed by other personalities quite as strong. His life study—the- tariff—would be of little use to him, because it would be next to impossible for him to land a place on the tariff making committee- financial. Of course his ability would command recognition, and his sayings and doings would attract attention, but he would find older and more experienced senotors leading in the debates and shap ing legislation. As leader of the house. Mr. Underwood is “more nearly in line for a presidential nomination,” his friends say, “than he would be occupying an obscure place in the United States senate.” And his friends have sized things up just about right, it seems to observant persons. Mr. Underwood can be of more service to the party and better advance his oWn in terest by remaining -Jn the house than he can by “rounding out a career in the senate. CLAYTpN AND HEFLIN. With Mr. Underwood out of the way, it is certain that Judge Clayton will be a candidate. It is almost as certain that Representative Heflin will enter the race also. Dr. Abercrombie’s candidacy is predicated upon what the legislature does with reference to redistricting the state. He is congressman-at-large just now. If the legislature redistricts, he will be out of a job, and will run for the senate. He has a state-wide organiza tion, and would be a factor, it is be lieved. Hobson, “the hero, the suffragist, the prohibitionist,” is the man that the win ner must beat, according to advices in Washington. Judge Clayton and his friends think he is the man to turn the trick. The friends of Mr. Heflin insist that he is the man. The friends of both Clayton and Heflin fear that if both run, Hobson may have an advantage that will be hard to overcome. Heflin is a better speaker than Clay ton, and his friends believe Is better able to handle Hobson on the stump than any other man in Alabama. Heflin, too, is a prohibitionist, but is not re garded so extreme as Hobson, and, ‘therefore, less objectionable to a large element of the liberals in Alabama.

SOUTH CAROLINA HAS NO MONEY IN TREASURE (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 21.—For the first time in many years the state of South Carolina has no money in the treasury to pay the running expenses of the government and. thousands or dollars in claim have been held up. Unless ar rangements are made for borrowing money no state officials will draw any salaries and the sta,te cannot pay out a dollar until taxes come in. The state has each year borrowed money to meet running expenses and the legislature put this in the hands of a board composed of the governor, comp troller general and state treasurer. The state treasurer asked for a loan of $300,- 000 and the governor made arrange ments with a local bank for this amount until January 1 at 5 per cent. Six notes of $50,000 each were signed by the gov ernor and turned over to the treasurer who, w’ith the comptroller general, sign ed one this morning and presented it at the) bank. Because these officials would not borrow the full $300,000 and wanted it in installments of $50,000 as needed by the state, the bank declined to float the loan and called off its offer. State Treasurer Carter called the gov ernor’s attention to the refusal of the bank to loan the money in installments of $50,000 each and said the bank denied that they had made any such agree ment with the governor and asked for documentary proof. The governor re plied to the treasurer that he had placed in his hands along with the notes the copy of the bank cashier’s letter con taining the statement that the notes would be floated as the state needed the money. “On account of your glaring misstatement I will have nothing fur ther to do with the matter,” said the governor to the treasurer. The state treasurer claims he was not consulted by the governor before the contract for the loan was made. The governor says he has done his duty and signed the notes and that it is up to the comptroller general and state treas- urerfl Meanwhile the treasury is with out funds and with the prospects of get ting no money tieher in salaries or ex penses for three months state officials and those, dependent on money from the treasury are in consternation. L P Let Adler Sheriff of New Hampshire Town Trailed Him Across Border and Had Him Held as a Fugitive COATICOOK, Quebec, Aug. 19.—Har ry K. Thaw is under arrest here. He will be arraigned at Sherbrooke as a fugitive from justice in the United States and according to Canadian im migration ^authorities at Ottawa will be deported from Canada under the immi gration regulations. v The yule under which this action will be taken provides that any person who, within five years of his incarceration in a penitentiary or insane asylum^ en ters Canada, may be sent back as an undesirable. Thaw was arraigned this afternoon and was remanded to Sherbrooke jail. He will appear before Judge Mulvena* extradition commissioner, probably to morrow. The police appeared to have no ques tion as to the identity of their pris oner. He refused to take seriously their action in arresting him, declaring that they had not the shadow of an excuse for depriving him of his liberty, as he had committed no crime. Thaw was arrested by local officers at the request of Sheriff B. H. Kel sey, of Colebrook, N. H., who saw Thaw on a train last night and later followed him here in an automobile. Though not knowing what they can do w*ith their prisoner, his captors are interested in the $500 reward which has been offered for his apprehension and they will hold him until his re lease is ordered or other disposition made of him by the government. Sher iff Kelsey will get this reward. Thaw freely admitted his identity but would not .discuss his movements since Sunday morning, except to say that he took a train “east of Boston.” He said taht he was making for the coast and planned to sail for Europe. He did not appear geratly disturbed by his detention here, declaring that as he had committed no crime he could not be extradited. In company with ..Jwo-men, one heavy built and the other slight and botn smooth shaven, Thaw, according to the police, came over the Maine Central from some point south of Colebrook, N. H.,« last night. This branch of the road extends to Portland, Me/ Thaw is held as a fugitive from jus tice, while the police hold his two companions on suspicion. All have re tained counsel. The^ police mad ethis statement: “Harry K. Thaw was arrested at Hermenegilde-Garford, oil a charge pre ferred by the constable with the advice and on information of B. H. Kelsey, dep uty sheriff of Colebrook, N. H. Notice has been sent of Thaw’s arrest to the Matteawan asylum by Hector Verretti king’s counsellor of Coaticook. Word has been received from the Matteawan authorities to hold the prisoner until further instructions are sent them.” Thaw’s two companions refused to disclose their identity. Thaw will be taken to Sherbrooks for araignment, and thence to Montreal. A statempnt given out by the chief of police described the prisoner as thirty- five years of age, of brown complexion and stated that he spoke French with a Parisian accent. The chief said the prisoner at first denied he was Thaw. Thaw’s Guardian Says His Ward Is Not in Canada PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 19.—"X am pretty sure the man they have in Can ada is not Harry Thaw,” declared Rog er O’Mara, Thaw’s guardian, as he hung up the receiver of along distance tele phone. in his office here this morning. “No, I have not heard from Thaw, but I am convinced he is not in Canada.” O’Mara ’refused io say on what he based his opinion. How Sheriff Trailed Man Claiming to Be H, K, Thaw COLEBROOK, N. H„ Aug. 19.—Harry Thaw is reported under arrest at Coati cook. province of Quebec. The man under arrest passed through here on a train last night and later crossed the line into Canada. Deputy Sheriff B. H. Kelsey, of this town, who was on the train, says the man admit ted that he was Thaw. Kelsey followed the man to Coaticook, where he was ar rested. According to Kelsey, the man he be lieves is Thaw was inquiring of others on the train the location of the county seat and some one directed him to the sheriff, Kelsey, saying the latter could tell him. Kelsey looked at the man rather close ly, which caused the other to remark: “You don’t know who I am?” “I could make a pretty good guess. You are Thaw,” the sheriff replied. The stranger thereupon admitted his identity and added: “But you don’t want me, you couldn’t harm me if you wanted to.” The two men then discussed the situ ation briefly. At this station Kelsey left the train, as did one of two men who were accompanying the supposed Thaw. Kelsey immediately obtained the as sistance of two friends and with an au tomobile they followed the train. They learned , that the stranger and his companion had left the train at Riverside, where they were joined by the other man, who, meanwhile, had obtain ed an automobile, and together they crossed the line into Canada, passing through Barford to Coaticook. Kelsey and his party followed and had the man arrested near Coaticook. Mother Awaits Son at Pennsylvania Country Home NEW YOfcK, Aug. 19.-—Mrs. Mary Copeley Thaw quietly left her hotel in New oYrk this morning and took a train for Cresson, Pa., near Pittsburg, where she will await further word from her fugitive son Harry, who escaped from the Matteawan asylum for the criminal insane early Sunday morning. As she departed she said she had had no word from Thaw since the letter re ceived yesterday, in which he said all was well and promised to join her at Cresson. U, S, Authorities in Doubt As to Thaw's Extradition WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Harry K. Thaw may be extradited from Canada on a warrant charging bribery, but there is no provision in any of the Anglo-American treaties for extradition on a charge of conspiracy, except as it relates to conspiracy to mutiny on the high seas. There is no provision for ex tradition on the charge “fugitive from justice.” Those are the views of state depart ment officials. In none of the treaties is there a “hot pursuit” clause which would permit the arrest of a fugitive Wio got across the border just ahead .of his captors. Such ^provision did exist Ap. an old treaty with Mexico.

All Dalton Council Can Do Is Meet and Adjourn and "Cuss" DALTON, Ga., Aug. 21.—The meeting of city council last night came near re sulting in an indignation meeting, when the new charter amendment, as put through by local legislators, came up for discussion. The members were united in the opinion that city council now had lit tle authority other than the right to meet and adjourn. The Vsit’y fathers had drafted a charter amendment which would have, if enacted into a law, given that body supervision over the police department, a matter which caused no little friction during the past year. Instead of having the meas ure passed, however, the legislature put through a substitute which almost com pletely robbed council of what authority that body already possessed. With the police department and record er’s court refusing to acknowledge that council can manage affairs of those de partments, the charter amendment also has taken the management of the public utilities, turning it over to the board of wear and light commissioners. For a long time, the school board has conducted the school affairs without worrying council with them. As one member has expressed it, coun cil can have garbage removed, look after street cleaning, see that the grass is kept cut in the parks and the public buildings swept out daily. Driver of Water Wagon Arrested As Blind Tiger TIFTON, Ga., Aug. 21.-—When the man on the water wagon gets to sell ing liquor as a blind tiger, the town that owns the water wagon is getting up against it in keeping in line with prohibition. Last year a negro was arrested for selling whisky and delivering it in one of the city'carts, but Henry Wade, the colored driver of the city sprinkling cart, went him one better. Wade was arrested Monday morning by Chief Thrasher for blind tigering and using the city sprinkling cart as the home for his tiger.
