TILT AT UNDERWOOD
News of Constitutionalist Vic
tories Received Without
Comment-France May Send
a Warship There, Too
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. Th* Mexi
can situation remained unchanged to-
• day. Administration officials agreed
generally in the view that Huerta would
f not answer President Wilson’s latest
] note. News of latest constitutionalist
victories was received without comment.
The delicacy of the situation, how
ever, was unaltered and the attitude ot
the Washington government sti\l was
a waiting one with the United States
in the attitude of a close observer.
Britain Waiting,, but
Policy Is Unchanged
LONDON, Oct. 16.—The British gov
ernment has adopted a waiting attitude
in regard to the Mexican situation. It
considers the matter thus far as an en
tirely internal affair of Mexico and
does not contemplate any action, al
though it is watching events closely.
The British foreign office has not
received any information from the lega
tion in Mexico City in respect to the re
ported conference of the members of
. the diplomatic corps there, and the fact
that Germany is reported to have sent a
warship to a Mexican port has not in
fluenced British policy.
Unionville, N. America,
Destination of This
Cirl of No Mari’s Land
(By Associated Press.)
UNIONVILLE, Mich., Oct. 16.—A
light-haired, blue-eyed girl of seventeen,
I who cannot speak a word of English,
arrived in this village last night. She
carried a paper on which was written:
“For Gab Manyek, P. O. Box 26,
Unionville, North America.”
Men who speak half a dozen Euro
pean languages tried to converse with
her, but were unable to make her un
derstand. The paper also gave the in
formation that her name is Maryia Cen-
eena, that she is a Slav and is on flier
way to the home of an uncle, whom she
never has seen.
It Is thought the young woman was
sent here by New York officials, who
directed her to the wrong Unionville,
there being several places of that name
in North America.
Big Spiders
\ ....
In Panama
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16.—The canal
20ne may be all right in some
ways, but never* again for me,” said
Miss Irene Sturgiss, just returned from
Panama. “While staying at a hotel at
Colon a huge spider crawled upon my
bare arm. I screamed, called for the
maid to kill it, but she said that if she
did it would bring her misfortune. In
fact all tarantulas are held sacred by
the natives. Afterward I learned that
room 12 in the hotel was unoccupied
because a spider about a foot in di-
ameter^ resided there, and rather than
disturb* it the management let the room
remain unused.”

Alabama Congressman, in At
lanta, Dictates Hot Political
Interview
$300 BOUNTY FOR THIS
LONE ALABAMA WOLF
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Oct. 16.—Three
hundred dollars is the price sheep grow
ers in the southern art of Escambia
county, Ala., have put upon the head of
a lone wolf, which they declare has
killed 300 sheep in that section within
the last few weeks. Numerous hunting
parties have spent days in searching for
the animal, but without success,"the last
party returning late yesterday from a
four days’ hunt.
Congressman Richmond Pearson Hob
son, of Alabama, candidate for the
United States senate in opposition to
Congressman Oscar W. Underwood, dic
tated a newspaper interview in Atlanta
Thursday in whi$h a second time he
characterizes Mr. Underwood as a “tool
of the liquor interests and the corpora
tions,” the interview being a sort of
continuation of the remarks he made
about Mr. Underwood on the floor of
the house of representatives in "Wash
ington Last Monday.
Congressman Hobson passed through
Atlanta on his way back to Washington
from a flying trip to Alabama' in the
interest of his campaign. He took
lunch with Russell Bridges, of the Alka
hest Lyceum system, who has the con
gressman dated for a number of lec
tures, one being at Cartersville Thurs
day night.
WHAT HOBSON SAYS.
The interview as dictated by Con
gressman Hobson in the parlor of the
Piedmont hotel reads as follows:
“This fight between Mr. Underwood
and myself is not only a state struggle,
but a national struggle as well. On one
side are aligned the conservative, re-
atcionary, corporation and liquor forces.
On the other side are the liberal, pro
gressive, constructive and temperance
and prohibition forces.
“The present administration in the
state of Alabama is a ‘wet’ administra
tion, and is a reproach—indeed, a stench
in the nostrils of the good people of the
state. And the govenro of Alabama,
Emmet' O’Neal, has been the prime mov
er in shaping up the campaign for the
reactionary-corporation-liquor forces.
“In conference with other politicians
of his stripe, Governor O’Neal ap
pointed Congressman Clayton to the
‘unexpired term’ in the senate, expecting
Mr. Clayton to develop strength and be
their standard bearer for the long term
as well. But Congressman Clayton
proved a great disappointment in devel
oping political strength throughout the
state, and his credentials, were not ac
cepted by the United States senate.
“The governor and his clique then
played their last card—and drew Mr.
Underwood into the fight. I saw many
of Mr. Underwood’s friends in the
course of the campaign I made in his
home county, but I have yet to find a
single real friend who thought it was
logical or wise for him to run. They
consider his real post of duty to be
where he can render the most service to
his party And his country as the leader
of the house during the dangerous pe
riod which always follows the enactment
of a general tariff bill. Almost inva
riably Mr. Underwood'* .friends re
marked, ‘He is making the mistake of
his life.'
SUGGESTED DEBATE. .
“Since in the discussion on th« floor
of the house last Monday I only gave
ten minutes to the charges against Mr.
Underwood, and he had a whole hour
for joint debate, going far afield from
the charges and taking up questions of
years ago, and since with this new ma
terial injected into the discussion there
was no opportunity for a rejoinder on
my part, I suggested to Mr. Underwood
that we meet in Alabama and have
joint discussions in regular form.
“In a fit of semi-rage he announced
in his speech that he didn’t propose to
go into ‘the dirty politics of Alabama.’
His effort was then, and the effort of
his friends and the effort of th£ papers
friendly to him, has been to pretend
that I was ‘slinging mud,’ when I sim-
pfy cited the sworn testimony of the
senate committee investigating cam
paign contributions, which showed that
Mr. Underwood had remained a passive
dummy while Wall street financed his
campaign for the plain purpose of de
feating Mr. Wilson.
GEORGIA CAMPAIGN.
“The citizens of Georgia and adjoin
ing states will readily recall the exten
sive use bt money by his campaign
managers in the Underwood pre-conven
tion campaign in Georgia.
“Mr. Underwood admitted on the floor
of the house last Monday that he went
to his headquarters three times, and yet
claimed that he knew nothing about
the contributions. He didn’t seem to
be sufficiently curious to find out
where all the money was coming from,
when one minute of h±s time would have
sufficed to glance at the books. It Is
a poor general who doesn’t know where
he gets his ammunition.
“I cited also Mr. Underwood’s ac
tion in defeating the senate amend
ment placing a tax of $1.10 per gallon
on all brandy imported for fortifying
wines, thus making a free gift of $7,-
250,000 to those liquor men and taking
an equivalent amount from the treas
ury. Previously Mr. Underwood had
consisitently used every effort to in
crease the revenues of the tariff bill.
“This fact is likewise of record and
is admitted by Mr. Underwood. It was
the citing of these two official facts
which they call ‘mud slinging.'
“FIRED SALID SHOT.”
“The truth is I have simply fired
solid shot with high power, and the
only mud is the splash fro mthe muddy
ramparts which the liquor interests, the
corporations and the reactionaries have
erected around Mr. Underwood.
“H e is now preparing to be the same
kind of figurehead and the same kind
of dummy in the senatorial race that
he was in his campaign for the Demo.-
cratlc presidential nomination, being
really nothing more than a tool to car
ry out the purposes of these sinister In
terests against the public welfare.
“The people of Alabama, however,
have caught on to the frame-up, ana
they will exemplify their progressive
Democratic spirit and their high capac
ity for self-government by putting into
retirement this, the ablest reactionary
that the state has produced in a long
time.” *

BULL MOOSE JOINS G. 0. P.
T ON TAMMANY
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 16,—After many
conferences, leader©- of the Progressive
and Republican parties of this city
have agreed to unite in an effort to
prevent Tammany hall from securing
control of the next board nf aldermen.
In alK districts where Progressive can
didates are running against Republican
nominees for aldermen, with the ex
ception of two or three, all Progres
sive aldermanic candidates will be with
drawn. In consideration of this the Re
publican organization will withdraw its
assembly candidates in the districts af
fected and support the Progressive nom
inees.
Yesterday was the last day in which
declinations could be filed with the board
of elections by candidates who had
been rihmed for offices to be filled at
next month’s elections and several elev
enth-hour declinations were filed.
The mosit notable was that of Oscar
S. Straus, former minister to Turkey,
who had been nominated for congress
on the Progressive ticket, in the Twen
tieth district. Mr. Starus was nominat
ed while he was in Europe and return
ed to this country only yesterday.

PRETTY GIRLS TO WASTE NO
MORE KISSES; ORGANIZE CLUB
PLANS PUBLICATION OF
COTTON SEED STATISTICS
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Oct. 16.—Di
rector Harris, of the bureau of the
census, finds that there is great de
mand for the publication at more fre
quent intervals of statistics concern
ing the consumption of cotton seed. It
has been the practice of the bureau
of the census to compile statistics for
this important part of the cotton crop
only twice during the ginning season
The first report for the crop of 1912
related to the quantity of cottoif seed
crushed prior to January 1, 1913. The
second report showed the quantity
crushed prior to March 1, 1913, with an
estimate of the quantity remaining to
be crushed from the crop.
The statistics of cotton seed are col
lected in connection with those for
the production of cotton as reported
by the ginners. This is necessary be
cause the quantity of linters is con
stantly increasing and forms a much
larger percentage <of the total orop
than heretofore.
Mr. Harris believes that an additional
report showing the quantity of seed
crushed and of linters obtained should
relate to some date between October 31
and January 1. He is not certain as
to the most desirable date, and is ac
cordingly corresponding with the farm
ers and cottonseed oil mills in order
to establish it. It is hoped that all
will agree upon a fixed date, so that
the work can be inaugurated during the
present season.
This additional report will be of great
value to the farmers as well as to the
oil mills and public generally.
CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 16.—Any young
man who kisses a Cleveland girl must
be prepared to wed her. This is the an-
nouncenient of an anti-kissing club
which has been organized by young and
pretty girls. The membership is grow
ing rapidly and it is said that it will
soon include all the maidens in Cleve
land whom anyone would desire to
kiss.
“We should not squander our kisses,”
said one of the club leaders. “Jf the
boys get one they want more.”
Indications are that the club’s “cam
paign” will result in a large number of
weddings in the near future.

KAISER WILHELM IS AT
peripjan
crown pfnfce recently Sent a letter to
Imperial Chancellor Von Bethfann-
Hollweg protesting against permission
being given to Prince Ernest August
of Cumberland, husband of the crown
prince’s only sister, to occupy the
throne of the Duchy of Brunswick with
out his express renunciation of his
pretensions to the throne of Hanover.
This protest was unsuccessful. The
imperial chancellor today sent a long
reply to the crown prince, in which he
justified the position taken by the Prus
sian government. At the same time the
Prussian government today formulated
a resolution for submission to the fed
eral council of the German empire re
voking its decision of 1907 against any
member of the house of Cumberland oc
cupying the dukedom of Brunswick.
By his action the crown prince has
adopted an attitude of flat opposition to
his father, the emperor, who has ac
cepted Prince Ernest August of Cum
berland’s oath of allegiance and letters
pledging himself not to support any
measures to detach Hanover from Prus
sia as ample guarantees for the fu
ture.
The spectacle of an heir to the throne
protesting in writing to the head of
the government against a policy adopted
by the sovereign rarely has occurred,
and the incident probably accounts for
the absence on October 3 of the crotyn
prince from the review by Emperor Wil
liam of the Hussar regiments, of which
the crown prince commands one, and
from the Luncheon at which every other
officer of the brigade was present.
The situation possesses all the ele
ments of a sensational dynasty family
quarrel, particularly as since her mar
riage to Prince Ernest August, Princess
Victoria Louise had adopted a more ex
treme position than her father.
OPPONENTS TO CURRE
BILL MEET MR. WILSON
. , (By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, ‘ Oct. 16.—Presiaent
Wilson today sent for Senators Hitch
cock, Reed and O’Gorman, Democrats, of
the banking committee, who have been
regarded as opposed to the administra
tion program for currency legislatjon.
The president conferred at length with
the senators.
“The president feels,” said Senatoi
Hitchcock afterward, “that to let the
currency bill go over into the next ses
sion would seriously interfere with oth
er parts of the administration program.
I want to see Democratic harmony and
1 should like to see the president’s wish
gratified. I do not want the adminis
tration program to be sacrificed, but
on the other hand I do not wank to see
the merits of the bill sacrificed.”
Hitchcock was asked if he saw any
prospects for passing the bill during
the present session.
“Not yet,” he replied.
Senator Reed refused flatly to dis
cuss his conference with the president.
Senator O’Gorman’s engagement was
last.
The senate committee continued its
hearings.

a stout blackthorn cane.

like.”
TIED OWNER OF AUTO TO A TREE
AND RODE OFF IN HIS MACHINE
CORONER’S JURY NOT YET
THROUGH IN HAUG CASE
Suicide Theory on Finding of
Bullet Blocked Still by
Doubts
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
THOMAS VILLE, Ga., Oct. ^.-—Al
though the finding of the bullet in the
skull of Miss Dorothy Hgug at the sec
ond autopsy yesterday seemed practi
cally to establish the theory of suicide,
the Coroner’s jury is not yet fully satis
fied in the mattter and will not give out
its verdict until this afternoon.
Dr. McIntosh states that the finding
of the bullet changed his opinion in the
matter, and it seems now that the
suicide theory is tenable.
The case is a very unusual one, as
there was absolutely no powder marks
on the outside of the skull, and the
frontal bone was so shattered that it:
co.uld be lifted so as to disclose the
brain. Every appearance pointed to the
wound having been made by a heavy
blow, and as the first investigation re
vealed no bullet, it seemed very certain
that none was there.
There are still several circumstances
connected with the affair that have not
been explained to the satisfaction of the
jury, and they will only announce their
verdict when they are entirely satisfied
there was no possibility of there having
been a murder.
F. C. Pearce, the Pinkerton ^detective
from the Atlanta agency, is very pains
taking in his investigation, and will not
abandon the case until he is thoroughly
satisfied in regard to it.
An important question that is not as
yet settled is as to the identity of the
pistol with which the wound was made.
That it belonged to Miss Haug has not
yet been established. That is one of the
things that Detective Pearce has under
investigation today and upon which a
good deal* will depend. It is supposed
that the pistol was bought in Bain-
bridge, and that is being investigated by
the detectives.
As bearing upon the theory of suicide,
it is stated by the proprietor of the
boarding house that Miss. Haug espe
cially requested that she have a room
alone on Sunday night. Mrs. Haug had
a room reserved in the house for her
younger daughter, Marjorie, and herself
whenever she was at home, and. the
older daughter sometimes slept in it,
but it is said that on Sunday night she
requested a room alone and was given
one on the idea that she was not feeling
well and preferred, on that account, to
be alone.
Absolutely no clue has been found as
to the connection of any man with the
case, and in every respect the moral
character of the deal girl seemed above
reproach. *
Hope Is Abandoned by
Searchers for Jewell,
The Lost Flying Man
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—Seekers by
land and sea for Albert J. Jewell, the
aviator who vanished in the sky last
Monday, abandoned hope today of ever
finding his body or his aeroplane. They
were convinced that he had been car
ried out to sea by the wind, had fal
len into the water, and had been drown
ed.
However, If Jewell fell into the sea,
there is a remote possibility that he was
picked up by a small boat or tramp
steamer outward bound and without
wireless.
DESPERATE LEPER BEGS
FOOD AND TREATMENT
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 16.—Driven to des
peration by hunger and privation, a
leper, thought to be suffering the last
stages of the disease, applied for food
and treatment at the city dispensary
her© last night. To shield his wife and
son he assumed the name of John
Kouch.
“Kouch” said he was forty-five years
old and that he came here from Jack-
son, Tenn. He said he had been con
fined in several places of isolation, but
always escaped. The last of these was
in Utah.
“Kouch” declared he had contracted
the disease in the Philippines while on
a business trip in 1898.
One Twin Born in
U. S. Other in Mexico
EAGLE PASS, Tex., Qct. 16.—A new
record was established when TV^s. Alari
Hernandez gave birth to twins three
days apart. The first child was born
in Mexico and the second in the United
States. The parents were fleeing from
the federal troops.
DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 16.—A jury in
Judge Hosmer’s court today heard all
about the apparently popular game of
“winkum,” which, as everybody knows,
is played by young men and maidens
principally, and is not unlike the popu
lar pastime known as “postoffice.” The
feature of the “game’* is to keep a girl
seated in a chair after she has been
“winked” by one of the men. The wink
is a signal upon which the girl flies to
ward, and not infrequently, into the
arms of the winker.
James Reichard attended one of these
parties some time ago and so did Hen
rietta Merihugh. Somebody “winked” at
Henrietta and she started to jump from
her chair, but Reichard, who stood be
hind her, grabbed her and held her
back.
Then something cracked and later
Henrietta discovered it was one of her
ribs. Believing Reichard had been over
ly enthusiastic, the girl has started a
suit against him, claiming $500 dam
ages. The case will probably go to the
jury tomorrow.
Hater of Women
Makes Queer Will
MEDFORD, Oct. 16.—Here is the re
markable clause contained in the
will of William H. Hartley, a bachelor
farmer:
“I direct that an elegant tombstone
or monument be placed on my grave, to
be made of granite, of which all the
lettering- shall show plainly and dis
tinctly, and of lasting quality, and on
the tombstone or monument shall be
engraved an old bachelor standing on
the brink of the Jordan, preparing to
cross the river, and on the other side
of the river a group of old maids, each
carrying in her hands a bunch of roses,
and beckoning to him to cross, and on
which tombstone or monument shall be
engraved the following epitaph: “To an
independent, good looking old bachelor,
who in bis younger days preferred a
single life rather than get married and
have a petticoat boss ruling over hiifi
the rest of his life and perhaps through
an. endless eternity.’ ”

RECEIVED_BY WILHELMINA
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Oct. 16.—
Henry Van Dyke, United States minis
ter to the Netherlands, today presented
his credential to Queen Wilhelmina at
tlie palace of Het Loo. After express
ing to the queen the complimentary
wishes of President Wilson, Prof. Van
Dyke spoke of his own peculiar pleas
ure in taking up his mission.
“Holland was the home of my fore
fathers,” he said, “and gave to Ameri
ca the fundamental ideas of religious
liberty, public education and federal
union. It is the center of the most
thoughtful efforts to promote the peace
of the world on the basis of internation
al justice and reason.”
L VOTE TO
43 TO HIT IS SID
Secret Ballot by Impeachment
Court Said to Have Refused
to Disqualify Him Hereafter
for Public Office
ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 16.—Th© court
of impeachment trying William F. Sul-
zer adjourned after 1 o’clock today to
meet again at 3 o’clock this afternoon,
at which time, it was announced, a
start would be made on the final vote
to determine the governor's guilt or in
nocence.
It was reported that the court voted
informally in its secret session this
morning to remove the governor from
office by a ballot of 43 to 14. A vote
to disqualify him from ever holding
another office under the state was lost,
it was said.
It was reported the following mem
bers of the court voted in favor of find
ing the governor not guilty and against
removing him: Presiding Judge Edgar
Cullen and Senators James F. Dupa-
mel, Independence League; James A.
Emerson, Republican; Seth G. Heacock,
Republican; John W. McKnight, Dem
ocrat; Thomas H. O’Keefe, Democrat;
Abraham J. Palmer, Republican and
Progressive; W. D. Peckham, Democrat;
John Seeley, Democrat; John D. Stiv
ers, Republican; Ralph W. Thomas, Re
publican; Gattfried H. Wende, Demo
crat; Clayton L. Wheeler, Democrat,
and George H. Whitney, Republican.
There was not a single vote favor
able to his disqualification, it was re
ported.
Every article of impeachment was
voted upon separately, according to the
news from the court room, and not all
of then! were sustained.
Those on which the governor was re
ported to have been held guilty were
articles 1, 2, 6 and 4 of the impeach
ment charges.
The three first are the “money ar
ticle©,” having to do with the alleged
falsification of the governor's cam
paign statement and the misuse of cam
paign contributions.
Article 4 relates to the suppression
of evidence by the governor before the
Frawley committee.
The articles are in substance as fol
lows:
That Sulzer filed a false statement
of receipts and other monetary trans
actions involved in his gubernatorial
campaign.
That he ©mmitted perjury in his
statement relative to receipts and ex
penditures, .
That he bribed witnesses to withhold'*
testimony from the legislative investi
gating committee.
That he suppressed evidence.
That he prevented and dissuaded a
particular witness, Frederick L. Col
well, from attending under subpoena
the sessions of the investigating com
mittee.
That he committed larceny in specu
lating in stocks with money contributed
for his campaign.
That he threatened to use his office
and influence to affect the vote or pol
itical action of certain public officers.
That while governor he corruptly
used his authority or influence to af
fect the current prices of seurities on
the New York stock exchange.
Efforts to attach significance to the
informal votes were denounced by many
of the senators today as unjust, both to
the members of the court itself and to
the governor. It was pointed out that
questions of fact were being discussed
and decided in the case of each article,
and also the legal admissibility of the
articles: and that, while a member
might decide to admit the article from
a legal point of view on his informal
vote, he might decide either for or
against it under the evidence jsvhen it
cam© to his formal vote. In other
words, until the legal aspects were de
cided questions of law and of faot would
be inextricably involved in the informal
vote.
Before going into secret session this
morning, Presiding Judgre Cullen em
phasized that present sessions of the
court are of the nature of a “private
consultation among members of the
court to formulate the views which will
determine their final action,” and that
this action would be taken in public.
