VOLUME XIII. ATLANTIA, GA,. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1913. NO. 15. HUERTA CHIS NEW CONGRESS 10 MET: Tells Lind He Cannot Dissolve Legally-Elected Representa- tives—Lind Says It Must Be Done Anyway WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—-The stat us of the Mexican situation up to noon today may be summed up substantially as follows: The demands which the American government made yesterday on the pro visional authorities at Mexico City .had • not up to that time brought any re- ; sponse from Huerta or those represent ing him. The American charge, Mr. O’Shaugh- : nessy, had not been instructed to call for his passports, nor have, any steps been taken thus far toward the with drawal of his diplomatic functions. Any further steps in that regard are still to be determined. The latest American demands calls upon Huerta for action which will pre vent the meeting of the congress voted upon at the election held on October -t> and no rejoinder has been made % to that demand. (Unofficial negotiations - which Wil liam Bayard Hade is carrying forward with General Carranza at Nogales, Mexico, have to do principally with the question of raising the embargo of arms, although it is expected to devel op much other information concerning the constitutionalists. General Carranza, head of the Mexi can constituionalists, said today at No gales. that he would not accept media- tion^ in any form by the United States or any other foreign government. He reiterated previous statements that the constitutionalists desired only the right 10 import arms and ammunition from the United States. Huerta Calls New Congress ' -- to Meet and Do Business MEXICO CITY, Nov. 13.—An official notification was published here today under yesterday’s date ordering those Mexican senators and deputies who were elected on October 26 to assemble dur ing the afternoon on Saturday, Novem ber 15, in their respective houses to effect their organization. Provisional President Huerta showed no signs of weakening this morning and the American embassy was in a state of suspense, not knowing what to expect next. * An early caller on Nelson O’Shaugh nessy, the American charge d’affaires was the German minister to Mexico. Admiral Paul Von Hintze, who arrived before Mr. O’Shaughnessy had break fasted. . It /'developed today that in the course , of the preliminary exchanges of views between John Lind, the personal rep- i resentative . of President Wilson, and the Mexican officials, on the question of the- dissolution »of the New Mexican congress, General Huerta advanced the idea that he could not dissolve it be cause it had been legally elected. Mr. Lind's reply to this was the pre sentation of the demands made by the United States government accompanied by the declaration that what General Huerta had been able to do with the former congress he must do with this one of his own creation. LIND LEAVES MEXICO CITY. Mr. Lind left Mexico City last night and is now in Vera Cruz. Nelson 'O’Shaughnessy, charge d’affaires of the United States legation, awaits ipstrue- , tio\s from Washington. It is generally believed that Washington will instruct Mr. O’Shaughnessy to close the embas sy or tc turn it over to the legation of some friendly power. All speculation as To the future, hcw- ever, is tempered by some doubt as to the state of affairs at the national palace. * Representations were made late yes terdav to both John Lind and Nelson O’Shaughnessy that in reality Provisional Piesident Huerta-had not been apprised , of the demands from Washington. This appeared to be substantiated by statements made at the government of- lrces early today. 11 was declared that Adolno Do La Lama, Mexican minister of finance, J imself had engaged in the search for iurrta and up to a late hour had not succeeded in finding him either at the . national palace, at his family home or .at any of the places wnere he was ac customed to go. ARGENTINE WELCOMES COLONEL WITH BANQUET BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 13.—Friendly enthusiasm was shown toward the United States at the banquet given here last night in honor of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and the distinguished visitor himself was warmly welcomed. The na tional hymns of the United States and of the Argentine Republic were sung in a -spirited manner, while hundreds of women in the galleries threw flowers upon the floor of the banquet hall. M. Freen, a member of the house of deputies, who delivered the speech of welcome, referred to the visitor as “the defender of the Integrity of the Ameri cas,” and paid him the tribute of hav ing entirely dispe^ed. any feeling of sus picion that may have lurked among the Latin-American countries of the friend ly advances -of the Unted States! In his reply Colonel Roosevelt deflned the Monroe Doctrine, explaining that it was not an international law, but a policy of the JJnited States for all America. He said times had changed since the adoption of that policy so that the Argentine was now a great modern nation which needed no protec tion. He added: “I hope the example of the Argentine will be emulated by all the other Latin- American republics and that they will all accept the Monroe Doctrine as the leading article of their policy.” The ex-president entered into explana tions of the United States in Panama ami Santo Domingo and his audience manifested its approval. When he con cluded with the expression of a fervent hope that independence and peace should, always exist throughout the new world the women in the galleries threw down their volleys of flowers while the ap plause of the men on the floor continued tor several minutes. The minister of foreign affairs, Cosarco Carrera, the justices of the su perior court and the ..members of the diplomatic corps were among the guests at the banquet. Mother version of THE THREE DETECTIVES HURT BATTLING RIVER PIRATES (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—A miniature naval battle was fought under the shadow of Brooklyn bridge just after midnight this morning when detectives, concealed aboard barges, and policemen in launches exchanged shots with armed river pirates. Three detectives were in jured, but three pirates were captured and three motor boats loaded with stolen coffee were recovered.

Early thhi morning three large motor boats with engines muffled were seen to draw up alongside flhe of the coffee barges. Three men climbed aboard the barge and began td throw bags of coffee into their motor boats. The hidden de tectives ordered the men to throw up their hands, but instead each drew a revolver and began firing. The detectives closed in, however, and a hand-to-hand fight ensued in which one of the detectives wag thrown into the river and three others slightly wounded. One of the pirates succeeded in getting away in his boat and was rounding the battery at full speed when two police launches intercepted him and effected a capture. The other prisoners were taken on board the barge. They gave thefr names as Albert Brecknel, Charles McNeil and Andrew Johnson, all of Jersey City. Each of the men was more than forty years old.

THE ELIMINATION OF HUERTA? FEWER PEACH GROWERS; JUST AS MANY PEACHES Since 1908 the number of peach growers in Georgia has decreased 59 per cent. Tills startling statement was made Wednesday morning by President W. B. Hunter, of the Georgia Fruit Exchange, in his address' to the members of the exchange at their annual meeting, held at the Piedmont hotel. President Hunter did not offer an ex planation, but it is presumed to be due to the. fact that many of the north Georgia growers have abandoned the peach industry to raise apples, which are a more hardy fruit and better with stand the north Georgia climate. It was stated by President Hunter, however, that the remaining peach growers had increased the number of their trees until there were about the same number of trees in the state now as in 1908-. Many other matters of interest to the peach growers were touched upon by President Hunter. Some of them fpllow: In 1913 the number of cars of peahes shipped out of Georgia was 1,219 as compared to 7,157 in 1912. The early frosts cut this year’s crop short, but also resulted in a better price to the growers. Owing to the short crop the exchange shipped to only thirty-four cities in 1913 as compared to eighty-six cities in 1912. Eighty-four per cent of the fruit growers in the state are now members of the exchange, which has 493 stock holders. In 1913 the earnings of the exchange amounted to $24,205.99; its ex penses were $18,205.57, and its net bal ance was $6,750.44. After paying a 10 per cent dividend., the exchange still had $2,508.32 to the good. In 1911 the ex change suffered a net loss of $12,800.78, and last year it made a small profit. During the present year the exchange has collected $75,000 for its membeds’ claims on 1912 shipments, the collec tions equaling $16 a car. 167 Sailors Lose Lives In Storm on Lake Huron; Ten Ships Go to Bottom Kirkpatrick Has Money That Can't Be Spent So He Divided With Wilson ^ (By Associated Press.)

Plague of Pigs Paralyzes Pryor Street Traffic, on Way to Be Pork Chops Three hundred pigs invaded the heart of Atlanta Wednesday. - Charging down the railroad tracks, sweeping into Pryor street at the Union depot, and continuing their mad flight down Decatur street, snorting, squeal ing, rooting, grunting, they bucked a de livery wagon, made a flying wedge on a limousine, ran over an electric, and very ably managed to push everything in sight into the discard in their bristly rampage. Three freight cars disgorged them shortly after noon beneath the Forsyth bridge. Having come all the way from Fayetteville, Tenn., in the stuffy pig Pullmans, they felt rather frisky. In a jovial, jocular, pig-like way they tum bled out on the railroad tracks and started full tilt to see what was on the signs across the way. In pursuit went Walter Davis, who played nursemr^d to them on their little excursion. At his heels six little dark ies, hired for the occasion, sprinted after the pigs. Some they caught by the curly tails, some they grabbed by their stubby legs, some they seized by the snout, and some they didn’t seize at all. While the watchers on the Forsyth bridge screamed with mirth the pigs finally were corralled behind the rail road fence and started toward the east. Behind them the trampled dust looked like an army had blazed its way. At the depot, the parade wheeled to the left. Two automobiles and a mule were coming, into the other end. The mule tried to climb a post;- the auto mobiles looked startled around the steer ing gear, and the pigs grinned. A fat porker tinted gray winked at a spotted sow and galloped at the mule. The mule kicked him once on the nose, the pig grunted aggrieved- ly. shut both eyes, and led a flank move ment against the mule’s sides. The mule whimpered while the pigs fled be fore the wrath of a black imp with a whip. Over by the entrance to the Kimball house a razor-back was trying to regis ter through the front door. A bell-boy tried to shake legs with him, and found out just why the razor-back is so call ed/ From the upstairs windows a riot ol! heads peered down on a sea of spotted backs. The limousine was-making two knots an hour through*heavy waves of snouts; the electric had foundered on a shoal of Berkshires, and the mule was scudding under bare poles before a heavy gale of Poland Chinas. A sudden shift of the wind in the shape of blows from the colored youths sent the storm around the corner into Decatur street, leaving tangled wreck age along the shores of Pryor and the odor of bacon in the raw. The shriek of the gale could be heard vanishing down Decatur street. Late reports indicated that it would die out on the coast of the slaughter house in East Atlanta. LOSES $100,000 ESTATE BECAUSE NO ONE WITNESSED THE WILL (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—The family circle at the White House is busily en gaged these days in opening boxes, breaking seals and unraveling packages *of every shape and size, all containing presents for Miss Jessie Woodrow Wil son, who is to be married November 25, to Francis B.

Culavin, of Omaha, is the heir to the $100,000 estate of John O’Connor, the Hastings, Neb., recluse who died Au gust 18, leaving no known heir, but Culavin will never inherit the money, for the will left is unwitnessed and in valid. The will, after a search of two months for heirs to the estate, was dis covered in Hastings, after having been stolen and secreted since August 1, when it was written. O’Connor’s real name was John Brady. He married in the northwest, then fled from a mysterious crime, com ing to Nebraska in the iate ’70s. Here | he managed to have published an itein ! that John Brady had been killed. Then l he changed his name to O’Connor. For j more than thirty years he lived at i Hastings, accumulated $100,000, then | died, apparently leaving no will. Near- i ly 2,000 persons put in claims for the estate as a result of the countrywide search for an heir. Culavin is a rich real estate man who befriended O’Connor in the hermit’s early days in Nebraska. He refuses to tell much that he knows about O’Con nor’s earlier life, but has revealed the whereabouts of O’Connor’s two grown sons, who are farmers in the northwest. They will inherit the $100,000 and Cul avin will not contest the will. Sand-Fed Chickens Are Heairy But Not Juicy; New Trick to Avoid WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—Uncovering a trick of unprincipled dealers in chick ens, the department of agriculture today issued a warning to housewives to be on their guard against sand-stuffed fowls* The government experts announce that the practice of stuffing chickens with sand is one that is causing considerable proportions. Of the unprincipled poultry shippers the department says: “Some of these poultry shippers, a day or two before the chicken is f Mled fed It red pepper, which makes the chickens have an abnormal appetite, then they feed a mixture of fine sand and a little corn- meal. The chicken eats this mixture ravenously and as a result large quanti ties of sand are introduced into the craw and the intestines as well. “This addition of sand may amount, in the cast of a single chicken, to only an ounce or &o, but where thousands of chickens are sold the aggregate charge for sand becomes important. ft Study Live Periodicals, Not Dusty Old Tomes, Is Prof. Hosiers Advice WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—Complete re organization in the methods of teaching English in the high schools of the United States is declared to be imperative by Prof. James F.

The proposed revision of the English high school course is part of a general reorganization plan mapped out by the National Education association. Five DeKalb Towns Plan Ga.
