EFFORTS. PEACE IS
OUTLOOK!II[MEXICO
President and Secretary Bryan
Have Achieved Masterly
Triumph in Present State of
Mexic Affairs
Gangsters Try to Blow
Up Mayor Gay nor, While
Tammany Drops Him
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—The week
ended tonight was marked by two no
table triv. nphs for President Wilson and
his administration. The more important
of these was the decided improvement
in the Mexican situation, which im
provement; it is conceded generally, has
been due to the masterly manner in
which the president and Secrtary ot
State Bryan have handled the matter.
It looks now as if peace will be re
stored in Mexico, and that constitu
tional government will be recognized,
and that without armed interference by
the United States.
Great Britain, France and Japan are
among the nations which have inter
posed their influence upon the Huerta
administration in Mexico in support of
the efforts of the United States to
bring about a peaceful settlement of the
revolution.
Of secondary importance Is the bright
ened outlook for currency legislation at
this session of congress. At the be
ginning of the week rumblings of dis-
ro^M in the O^mocratic caucus of the
hoivse concerning features of the admin-
isti anon bill occasioned alarm. But
when the crisis came, the tide was turn
ed and tonight everybody believes that
the president’s bill will have compara
tively easy sailing through the lower
house. It will be passed at no remote
date.
The progress on the tariff bill in the
senate also was a subject of gratifica
tion at the White House. It seems cer
tain now that this troublesome legisla
tion will pass the senate not later than
September 15. notwithstanding the ef
forts of the Republican minority to ob
struct progress.
There remains now only four sched
ules of the tariff bill to be considered,
before the income tax provision and the
administrative features are reached.
Wool, consideration of which was part
ly completed today, paper, sundries, and
the free list comprise the schedules yet
to be considered.
COTTON AND SUGAR DISPOSED OF.
The cotton and sugar schedules, two
of the most difficult and troublesome in
the whole measure, were disposed of
during the week. The cotton schedule
was passed in record time, though it
gave promise of causing more delay
than any other, owing to its many com
plicated details.
Senator Hoke Smith was in charge of
the cotton schedule. He handled it wiYh
such dispatch that ij; was agreed to
within four hours after it had been
reached.
T-he Georgia senator had devoted
weeks and weeks of study to this sched
ule and the result was inevitable. He
had its detail at his fingers’ tips and
the opposition made slow progress in
its attempt to complicate and delay
matters. Mr. Smith would brook no
delay, and pressed for a vote on every
amendment as soon as proposed.
President Wilson’s mastery of the
currency situation in the house was
depionstrated beyond question on yes
terday. when the Neely amendment aim
ed at interlocking directorates was de
feated by an overwhelming vote. This
amendment was the test upon which the
opposition to the bill rested its cause,
and their defeat left no doubt as to
the final outcome of the bill in the cau
cus. •
As a result of the devolpments in the
caucus on Friday it is understood to
night that Congressman Hardwick, of
Georgia, who had intended to move the
recommittal of the bill, with instruc
tions, has decided to withhold his mo
tion. Mr. Hardwick’s opposition to the
bill in no way involves that or compli
cate his relations to the president and
his administration.
“COTTON AMENDMENT” UP.
The caucus tomorrow will consider
the so-called “cotton amendment” which
proposes that notes secured by ware
house receipts for cotton shall be sub
ject to rediscount. It is believed this
amendment will be accepted. Congress
man Hughes, of Georgia, has been ac
tive in behalf of these amendments. He
himself is a farmer, and he thinks a
great injustice will be done' the farm
ers unless the amendment is accepted.
He said tonight:
‘'Unless the amendment to the pro
posed currency bill placing the notes
of the farmers, secured by his ware
house receipt for cotton on terms of
equality with the note of his brother
in the city, secured by personal en
dorsements, is agreed to, the Demo
cratic party will make a great political
blunder and do terrible injustice to the
. tiller of the'soil.
“The farmer is one of the greatest
sufferers in time of panic and to deny
him the right to use his cotton as se
curity while giving those in the city
the privilege of borowing on personal
endorsements is grossly unfair,” con
tinued Mr. Hughes. “The note of the'
farmer, secured by a receipt from a
bonded warehouse for twice as much
value in cotton as the note calls for
in cash, is a beter commercial paper
than any personally endorsed note.”
WILSON’S MESSAGE.
It was learned that the Mexican au
thorities hoped President Wilson would
not read his message to congress next
Tuesday as he had planned, and showed
a disposition to prolong the negotia
tions. Unless some tangible overtures,
however, are received within forty-eight
hours from the Huerta officials, indicat
ing a desire to accept the fundamental
proposals of the United States, the presi
dent will proclaim to congress and to
the world the attitude of this govern-
Police Search for Thugs Who
Placed Bomb Under May
or’s Window - Gaynor Is
Abandoned by Tammany
Contingent and May Make
Independent Race
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—The police are
searching for the person or persons who
placed four sticks of dynamite wrapped
in a piece or' bright cambric cloth in an
areaway of the city hall directly be
neath Mayor Gaynor’s window.
The alleged attempt to blow the
mayor up with dynamite is the more
interesting owing to the fact that he
has been turned down as the next may
oralty candidate by the Tammany con
tingent. Despite the fact that a confer
ence of Tammany leaders have refused
to favor him as their next candidate,
it is said that the mayor may make the
race as an independent candidate.
A piece of bright colored
cambric was the principal clue
today in the investigation of the city
hall bomb mystery. The cambric was
wrapped around the four sticks of dyna
mite found yesterday in an areaway di
rectly below Mayor Gaynor’s window.
The bomb was anything but a hoax,
for the fuse had been lighted and had
gone out just before the spark reached
the detonator.
An explosion would have demolished
the side of the building. The detectives,
however, could not decide where the dy
namite was meant for the mayor or for
some one in the marriage license bu
reau, or was planted as a protest against
the city government in general.
The cambric wrapper directed the
search today among Itajian workmen em
ployed in blasting out the new subway.
A shaft of the subway opens near the
city hall. The cambric was a kind that is
popular among Italian working women.
The dynamite was too carefully arranged
to admit a theory that it was dropped by
accident.
The New York mayoralty
election will find Edward E.
McCall, chairman of the public serv
ice commission, pitted as the Tammany
candidate against John Purroy Mitchel,
collector of the port, as the fusion nom
inee for mayor. Charles F. Murphy,
leader of Tammany hall, and a number
of his advisors, after a conference last
night were said to have proposed that
Mr. McCall accept the Tammany nomi
nation and to have urged him to give his
answer to this proposal today.
He announced later that he would ac
cept the offer of Tammany Hall lead
ers of designation as their candidate
for mayor of New York City.
At the start of the conference the re-
nomination of Mayor Gaynor was pro
posed but apparently did not meet with
favor.
With McCall named as the Tammany
candidate there remains a possibility
that the mayoralty campaign will be
come a triangular contest, as there is
an independent movement urging Mayor
Gaynor to seek re-election regardless
of the Tammany and Fusion choices.

NEWARK, N. J., Aug. 25.—Conrad
Churchill, an aged man, fell in the gut
ter when running from a fire here to
day. As he lay helpless, face down,
water poured upon the fire flowed out
into the gutter and drowned him.
FARMERS PLOWING AS
HEAT WAVE IS BROKEN
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 25.—After nearly
a month of high temperatures that
broiled Kansas and parts of Missouri
and Oklahoma and broke all records for
intensity and duration, the heat wave
throughout the three states was broken
today. According to reports to the
United States weather bureau, a drop
of 10 to 20 degrees in temperature that
daily has ranged above the 100 mark
followed heavy rains over wide sections.
Further precipitation was forecasted.
The lowest temperature in two months
was recorded at Joplin, Mo., when the
mercury registered 68 degrees upon the
heels of a hail and rainstorm driven be
fore a cold north wind. Wichita, Kas.,
reported a fall of 8 degrees, with clouds,
showers and cool winds relieving east
central Kansas. Hutchinson, Kas., was
in a drizzle of rain that covered a wide
territory, slowly soaking a thirsty soil.
General reports showed drouth rav
ages apparently at an end with farmers
who had lost their corn preparing for
fall plowing for wheat sowing.
Slain Man’s Fortune
Is To Be Used To
Defend Slayer
Judge Godbee's Children Will
Use Inheritance to Free His
Divorced Wife
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 25.—Children
of Judge Walter S. Godbee, who inherit
ed a part of his $50,000 estate, will de
vote their inheritance to the defense of
Judge Godbee’s divorced wife, who slew
him and his bride at Millen, Ga., last
Monday. Mrs. Edna Godbee is now in the
Jenkins county jail and has no funds,
but her three children by Judge Godbee
declare they will aid her.
Judge Godbee’s estate, will be divided
among his children by the terms of his
will, which was probated here yesterday.
A daughter by his first wife, now living
in Augusta, will get the major part of
the estate, but the other children will
get substantial portions. Frank Godbee,
son of the woman who did the slaying,
was appointed temporary administrator
of the estate.
G. C. Dekle and A. C. Dixon, Mrs. God
bee’s attorneys, who are expected to
wage the greatest defensive murder trial
battle ever known to south Georgia, have
ordered. Mrs. Godbee to receive no visi
tors except members of her immediate
family. Hundreds of friends who called
upon‘‘her caused too great a strain on
her nerves.
Mrs. Godbee has made no detailed
sta*x~nent except to her attorneys, who
assert that when the reasons for the
slaying are made known she will be
fully vindicated.
Archibald Boyer, brother of the slain
Mrs. Godbee, passed through Savannah
Thursday en route to Millen. He de
clared that he asked no vengeance, but
wished to see justice done.
Aviator Stops Engine
Two Miles Above Earth
And Plunges to Safety
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—Officers of
the army signal corps today are dis
cussing the 9,000-foot “slide” of the
aviator, C. Murvin Wood, who stopped
his engine nearly two miles above the
earth late yesterday and plunged down
through the gathering dusk to a suc
cessful landing on the parade ground
at Fort Myer, Va. His spectacular down
ward dash occupied only four minutes.
The officers were preparing to have
beacon fires lighted to guide the aviator
back to his landing place when Wood
began his spectacular slide. He had
been aloft one hour and forty-five min
utes and had sailed far out into Mary
land before he decided to come down.
Wood is demonstrating his monoplane
for the army officials. The military air
craft at present are all biplanes.
Clean Clothes Are
Scarce in Lindale
ROME, Ga., Aug. 25.—Trere is a
scarcity of clean clothes in Lindale, a
cotton mill suburb of Rome, this week
on account of an epidemic of petty
thefts that sems to have broken out
in that section. Mrs. Ben Pike, Misses
Jessie and Eva Baugh and others re
port that baskets of laundry have been
stolen from their residences. Presum
ably the work was that of early morn
ing sneak thieves.
GLYNN GETTING INTO
POWER SLOW BUT SURE
Sulzer is Quietly Isolated and
Appears to Have Allowed
Rival to Grab Reins
(By Associated Press.)
ALBANY. N. Y., Aug. 25.—The
close of the second week of rival gov-
ernorshiyp camps at tli ecapitol finds
Acting Governor Martin H. Glynn in
practical possession of most of the ma
chinery of state, so far as surface in
dications go.
Mr. Glynn has adhered rigidly to his
program of quietly isolating Governor
Sulzer. He has made no spectacular at
tack upon the Sulzer fortress, but all
tlie while has been entrenching himself
behind the legal ramparts furnished by
the attorney general’s office, by means
ot' which some of the main state de
partments avowedly, and others tacitly,
have acknowledged allegiance to his’
authority. According to the Glynn ad
herents, t he state prison department
is the only big wheel in the common
wealth’s machinery that is turning
openly for Governor Sulzer.
So careful has Acting Governor Glynn
been to avoid anything savoring of a
physical contet, tor which might pre
cipitate an appeal to the courts, that he
has not carried oiit his previously an
nounced intention of requisitioning
members of the gubernatorial clerical
staff who continue in Mr. Sulzer’s serv
ice.
Governor Sulzer continues to observe
the policy of silence which he has fol
lowed since impeachment. If any steps
have been taken on his behalf to bring
the governorship controversy into court
they have bene concealed.
The Glynn partisans regarded as
another feather in their cap the hon
oring of Governor Dunne, of Illinois, as
announced in a telegram from Chicago
late today.
CHINESE THREATEN TO
Southern Revolutionaries Claim
Gunboat Fired on Rebel
Position
BERLIN, Aug. 26.—Advices received
by the German foreign office today from
Nanking, China, indicated that trouble
is impending between the German naval
officers and the southern revolutionaries,
who threaten to bombard the German
consulate and the German cruiser
Emden.
The insurgent leader sent a letter to
the German consul at Nanking declaring
that the Emden had bombarded the rebel
position in Lion hill and announced
his intention of retaliating on the Ger
man ^cruiser and consulte. The consul
denied the allegation.
The German armored cruiser Chan-
horst has been sent to Nanking.
Claw Hammer Used as
Medical Instrument
TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 25.—Perhaps for
the first time in the history of medical
science a claw hammer was used at a
local hospital today as a medical in
strument. Willie Long, a negro, was
brought to the hospital with a knife
blade four inches long sticking into his
backbone, driven there by an unknown
negro.
The doctors tried every ordinary
means to remove it without avail. Fi
nally the claw hammer was brought
into requisition, a board placed across
the negro’s back, the claws of the ham
mer adjusted beneath the knife handle
and the blade drawn out just as one
might draw a nail from a box.
Judge Scores
Jury Failure
To Convict
(By Associated Press,)
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 25— Be
cause a jury today reported a mistrial i
after two days in th case of Butler
Searcy, a prominent Butler ounty
planter, accused of holding Wash Gard
ner, a negro, in peonage, Federal Judge
William B. Shep. ard, of Pensacola,
presiding temporarily over the federal
court here, reprimanded the jury in
most sensational terms.
“This is a travesty on justice,” he
declared. “1 do not see how any intel
ligent man, hearing the evidence as it
was presented, could agtee to such a
verdict.”
He hinted broadly that the members
of the jury had carried the'ir prejudices
and petty personal differences into the
jury room with them. This, he said in
substance, was despite the oath they
took and the sacred obligations to
which they subjected themselves.
“While we hear much of the cor
rupt judiciary on every hand,” he said,
“do you not think it behooves every
juryman to consider any case brought
before him in an impartial light and
to render his verdict to the best of
nis ability, exercising the functions
God gave him to their fullest power?
I know that had I given you my opinion
of the case it would have had little
weight on you. I will give it to you
now.

O'NEAL HITS ROBSON
IN SCATHING REPLY
Controversy' Over Clayton Ap
pointment Leads to Hot
Speefches
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MONTGOMERY. Ala. Aug. 25.—
Caustic and sarcastic language was
used by Governor O’Neal yesterday
afternoon in lengthy reply he made to
a fusilade of atacks from Congressman
Richmond Pearson Hobson growing out
of the governor’s appointment of Henry
D. Clayton as federal senator to suc
ceed the late Joseph F. Johnston.
Captain Hobson, himself, a candidate
for the senate, initiated the squabble
when he branded the governor’s appoint
ment of Clayton. as the result of a
deeply laid political plot. The governor
retaliated with a statement to the ef
fect that Captain Hobson had told him
in Birmingham that an appointment by
him of a senator would be valid. Dur
ing this week Congressman Hobson
came back with a hot interview, de
nouncing the governor’s statement.
In his reply yesterday afternoon Gov
ernor O’Neal, detailing Captain Hobson’s
charges, declares that his “rhetoric is as
astonishing and shocking as his logic.”
He says the captain has unwittingly
bumped^ into a “cul de sac,” and that
even the “resources of the hero of the
Merrimae cannot serve to rescue him
from his pitiable dilemma.”
The governor repeatedly insists that

victed of manslaughter for running his
automobile into an automobile truck,
was today sentenced to eighteen
months in the work house.

seph B. Wishart, who was seated in the
rear of Perrine’s car, was thrown out

TARRYTOWN, N. Y., Aug. 25.—Mrs.
Miller French, of Clatskanie. Ore., left
here today with her aged father, from
whom she has been separated for fifty-
three years, believing him dead. The dis
covery that lie was still alive came
about recently when Mrs. French at
tempted to secure a pension as the
daughter of a supposedly deceased vet
eran of the Civil war.
Her father, Louis B. Hunt, had parted
from his wife when he enlisted at
Buffalo in ’61, when his daughter was
only two years old. It was reported
later that he had been killed in the war,
but he returned in '65, to the amazement
of his friends, who told him his wife
had believed him dead and had married
another man.
Like Enoch Arden, he turned his back
on Buffalo, leaving his wife in igno
rance. He did not dare even to com
municate with his child. Recently,
without knowing whether his daughter
was still alive, he learned through the
pension bureau that she was applying
for a pension on the supposition that he
was dead. The reunion followed, and
Captain Hunt, who is now eighty-four
years old and feeble, will make his home
for the rest of his life with his daughter
in Oregon.
WIRELESS OPERATOR DIED
AT DUTY AS SHIP STRUCK
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 25.—Another
hero story in the annals of wireless
telegraphy was told here early today
when forty surviving members of the
steamship State of California arrived
here on the steamer Jefferson.
Donald C. Perkins, of Oakland, Cal.,
who went as chief wireless operator on
the State of California, in hope of en
countering adventure, was off duty and
asleep when the steamer ^truck an un
charted roof in Gambler bay, Alaska,
last Sunday morning. Awakened by the
shock he rushed to the wireless room
and ordered Walter Chamberlaine, the
operator on duty, to seek safety.
Then he sat down at the key. but
before he could send his first call for
help a faling mast went through the
wireles house 'and crushed Perkins to
death at his post. Of the three lifeboats
launched, the survivors said, one was
useless, having been smashed by falling
wreckage and one was carried down by
the suction of the ship.
The survivors told of the death of
Mrs. H. C. Riordan, of Chicago. 84
years old, and her daughter, Miss Es-
tella Riordan.
R. E. Baker, a water tender, who
rushed on deck as the cabins filled,
found boat No. 4 with a few persons
in it, among them Mrs. Riordan.
“The water was just up to the boat,
but in the excitement it had not been

SAYS AMERICAN WOMEN
PROTEST CANAL FORTS
THE HAGUE, Aug. 25.—“Two million

the assertion made today before the

She drew a round of applause from
the delegates as she added: “The canal

and should be adorned with statues of
