THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1913. W!L! 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. Drowned By Water Poured on Fire He Was Running From (By Associated Press.) 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.

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. “This man is guilty of peonage. Deep down in your hearts you are certain of 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 MLETT WORKS Georgia Congressman Will Take No Rest Until Analysis’ of CJiarges Is Before Geor J gia Delegation , !

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 loosened from the fastenings,” he said. “I cut it loose and as the steamer sank it floated but the after-draft suck ed i tdown.
