Final Word From General Car

ed by the Administration Of
ficials at Washington—Nearly
35,000 Militia of . the Depart
ment of,U»e. East Are Under
Orders to Start.,or Are Already
on the Way.
(By Associated Press).
Washington, D. C., June 27.—There
are clear indications today that unless
the American cavalrymen captured at
Carrizal are'released wtthirl forty-
eight hours action will be taken by
the United States. The impression
prevailed in official circle* that Pres
ident Wilson would not walt beyorid
Thursday, possibly not beyond tomor
row afternoon, for a definite reply
from General Carranza to the nqth de
manding the immediate release 6f the
prisoners and a declaration las to the
.Mexican intentions. V >'
.Special Agent Rodgers, at Mexico
City, reported that he delivered the
note to the Mexican foreign- office yes
terdav morning.
No aggressive military operations
can be undertaken until a substantial
number of militia are avaifable to
back up General Funston’s regulars'.
President Wilson’s step, should he de
cide to force the issue, would proba
bly be to lay the situation before con
gress. Specific authority to send the
militia beyond the border and author
ization for calling volunteers wilt be
needed. It is regarded as certain that
any resolution offered will reaffirm the
administration position that it Is be
ing forced to defend its territory
against outlaws and not to seize ter
ritory.
Mexican officials here expressed the
opinion that General Carranza will
yield the prisoners. Every day in the
seemingly inevitable "break sees the
army better prepared for swift action.
This and the getting of the Ameri
cans out of Mexico has influenced
against pressing matters. Had the
border force* been sufficient it is
thought probable that a time limit
would have been included in Secre
tary Lansing’s note.

WHAT COSTA’S THINK.
When interviewed by a Herald re
porter last night, Mr. M. J. Costa
stated that he thought that the peo
ple of Athens should be allowed to
have recreation of some kind on Sun
day, and owing to the fact that there
were no parks in or near the city the
soft drink places as well as cigar
stands should be allowed to remain
open. Mr. Costa stated that he did
not. want it to appear that he was
taking this stand in the matter sim
ply because he was the manager of a
business of this kind, as he was sim
ply making a statement of what he
would like even if he were n6t in the
business.

the business men of the city are very
much against the law being enforced.

the other business conduced on Sun
day will be stopped. This will include
the ice men, milk men, telephones and

things.
CHAIRMAN DAVISON TALKS.
'Mr. Albert E. Davison, chairman of
the police committee of council, when
interrogated by The Herald in regard'
to the clamping on of the lid in Ath
ens on Sundays said:
“There has been a preat deal of dis
cussion on the question of closing the
soda water and cigar stores. Many
•ay that these places ought to be
closed; that it is not right to work the
men in these places on the Sabbath
day. The same one who says this
would be up in arm§ if any should
even suggest letting the telephone
girls take Sunday off. Or let the
street car motormen and conductors
and the ice men take Sunday. Oh,
no; this would be terrible—the idea
of cutting the phones, street cars and
ice v^agons out. Why, it is perfectly
absurd. Yet they say the soda water
and cigar men should not work on
Sunday. Did it ever occur to you that
the telephone girls have to work all
day long. They don’t stop for church
pours, but keep right at it all day.
Now, if one set should not work then
the other should not. The old Sunday
law says plainly: ‘Any person follow
ing his daily avocation on the Sab
bath is guilty of a misdemeanor, acts
of charity and absolute necessity ex
cepted/
“Now, when we come to necessi
ties; hardly anything is necessary. It
is not necessary that we read a news
paper on Sunday, it is not necessary
that we telephone on Sunday, our
Sunday dinner could be cooked on Sat
urday, we can buy our ice on Satur
day, our chauffeurs ought not to work
on Sunday. Our shoes can all be
shined on Saturday. And we can all
take a pleasant wulk to and from
church on Sunday. Some people wi
say that it is foolish to mention all
these things: that so and so is neces
sary. But when you simmer it down it
is just a question of what the party

FOLLOWS INCREASED
USE OF INTOXICANTS
Paris.—Increased drinking, result-,
ing from the relaaxtion of the meas
ures limiting hours for the sale of
liquor to soldiers, and of other fe-
strictions, has been simultaneous
with a revival of fcritne. AH soldiers
were until recently excluded from
drinking places except from 11 to 12
a. m. and from . to 8 p. m. Soldiers
on leave in Paris are now allowed ac
cess to wineshops at all hours of the
day. Since the proprietors spare
the trouble of determining whether A
soldier is on leave or not, the new
rule admits soldiers of the garrison
of Paris as well as those on leave.
Drunken soldiers are to be seen on
the streets for the first time since the
war began and occasional brawl
among the soldiers is reported.
Thefts, burglaries, night hold-ups
and muiders are frequent. Three
jewelry establishments were rifled in
one week, one of them losing a hun
dred thousand dollars worth of prec
ious stones and jewelry.
A bar-room brawl between street
loafers resulted in the death of one of
them and a well known policeman was
murdered in the street.
The burglars seem to take a malic
ious pride in attacking the homos of
public men. They broke into the
apartments of Monsieur Malvy, min
ister of the interior, who is the su
preme head of the French police.
Then they burglarized the home of
the former Finance Minister Caillaux.
This recrudescence of crime is said
to be largely the work of deserters,
many of whom, home on leave, were
turned from their duty by drink and
are obliged to live in the “under
world” to escape punishment/!
AUGUSTA IS TO FINISH
EMPIRE LIFE BUILDING
Augusta, Ga., June 27.—At a meet
ing at the cotton exchange Monday
steps were begun to complete the Em
pire building, the half-completed
structure on Broadway, work on which
has been at a standstill for a long
time as U result 6f the Empire Life
Insurance company litigation.
At this meeting Augusti was asked
to idbscribe $150,000 second mortgage
hendr on the statement that a sub
scription to $168,000, first mortgage
bonds already secured, becomes im
mediately binding when the Augusta

Macon, Ga., June 27.—The regular
army examination 13 being required
of the National .Guard before they will
be mustered iq. as soldiers of the
United States. Sterne of the men arc
being thrown cjrt'and the units will
probably have to .remain here longer
than anticipated to again muster to
the minimum war strength. The ex
amination is being carried on under
the supervision of Major I’age, of the
regular army. Officers and men alike
arc required to pass before they will
be accepted "as United States sol
diers.
The Milled’'eville company, known
as the Baldwin Slues, urrived yester
day afternoon with eighty enlisted
men completing the second batallion,
second regiment.
GEORGIA HUSSARS ARRIVE.
The Savannah Hussars, cavalry, of
the first, arrived vesterday from Sav
annah, with 100 enlisted men and
three officers. This command is poor
ly equipped and have not been fur
nished with mounts by the govern-
met. It is reported that horses may
not be provided until the troop reach
es Texas. It is not known when
other portions of the first will arrive.
The field hospital corps of Atlanta
under Major Fort was the first com
pany to" take the second examination.
Very few of the men were thrown
out. The troops are being mustered
into the army npw os rapidly as pos
sible. The Atlanta hospital corps has
sixty-three eplisfed men here and
three officers, several men were, how
ever, left in Atlanta to continue re
cruiting.
FINGER PRINTS TAKEN.
Finger prints of ail recruits are
tuken and kept as identification rec
ords. The men are being vaccinated
against typhoid fever and smallpox.
The size of the mobilization camp
will be" almost doubled with the ar
rival of the fifth regiment from At
lanta. This regiment will be sta
tioned to the north of the regimental
street, between the second and first
regiments.
SECOND REGIMENT BUSY.
The second regiriiertt was kept busy
throughout yesterday, with drill ex
ercises. The first -Mil sounded at V
and the men drilled to 10:30 with a
rest of one-half hour. ■
The work on the camp in the quar
ters for the first regiment is now
practically complete. The Georgia
HussarS are badly in need of equip
ment and many of the men will have
to sleep in the marchie- tents for the
present. A large number have no
blankets, shoes or other equipment.
It is generally believed that the
hospital detachments will be the first
sent to the Mexican border. They
are the first to be mustered in and it
is reported that their services are es
pecially demanded there at the pres
ent time.
DAILY EXCEPT SUNDAY. *5.00 PER YEAH,
This morning at about 11 o’clock
the police arrested a white man who
goes under the name of Max Pinson
for breaking into the chapter house on
Dougherty street between HuU and
Lumpkin street. When this man
was caught he had two clothes bags
filled with various articles of every
description which had been taken from
the house. There was another man
with him who has not as yst been
airested. The police have him spotted
apd as soon as he shows himself he
will also be taken to the lock-up for
a" short stay.
The police have the bags that were
used by the men and among the arti
cles stolen are an alarm clock, tennis
ball, jewelry case, cigarette case, pair
of shoes, two or three hats, coats of
various kinds, combi, brashes, and
and many other things. Pinson is be
fog held for a warrant when he will
bp turned over to the county.
There have been many raports to
the police in foe past several days in
regards to vacant nouses being robbed
of the plumbing fixtures. Last week
there were two houses en Washington
and one on Clayton street robbed of
all the lead arid brass fixtures in the
house. It U thought font perhaps
these men now under arrest may kriow
something of thsss other robberies.
Pinson appean to hs about 18 years of
age.
TENTING SQUADS
WILL CONTEST AT
Y. M. C. A. WEDNESDAY
There will be an unique and inter
esting contest held at the Young Men’s
Christian association tomorrow after
noon at 6 o’clock. Three tenting
squads will compete with one another
in the erecting of tents in the shortest
time and in the most workmanlike
manner. This also will be a rally
for those who are interested in the
summer camp that is to be held by
the association from July 12th
through the 26th, at the famous Cha<
tooga Camping Grounds, five miles
from Tallulah Falls.
Messrs". D. D. Quillian, Deioney
Sledge and Max Cutler have been se-
celected as squad leaders and will have
five boys each assisting them in the
pitching of their r espective tents.
This is as a demonstration as to what
the advance party that goes up one
day in advance of the main party—
has to do to prepare the camping
grounds. In addition to the competi
tion in pitching these tents, they also
will be taken down in a competitive
race as well. This will he an inter
esting stunt and one to which all of
the boys of the city in addition to the
ones of the association and their par
ents are extended a most cordial in-
kans, hitherto largely furnished by ifL.

COLONEL AND JUDGE
TO DINE TOGETHER
(By Associated Press).
New York, June 27.—Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt and Hon. Charles E.
Hughes will dine together here tomor-
-row night, it is learned.
Of course Mr. Bailey will be there,
and as for “Bill” Webb—why. It
wouldn’t be a scout camp without Wil
liam, so of course he will be there.
The boys are going to spend the
night there, as you can tell by notic
ing the blankets piled about. And
if you can manage by any scheme to
get close enough to one of the knap
sack* to take a peep into it, you Will
find that even after supper they have
enough for breakfast the next day.
Some may have enough for ,diniAi>
alio, and they may spend Thursday
as well, but Mr. Bailey must leave
after breakfast. Of course this Will
not interfere with those who wish "to
spend the day, and they will have at
good a time as usual.
At 12:15 o'clock this morning the
fire department was called to the Hol
man building * to extinguish a ijiro
which-had* started in the basement of
the building under the Ye Garden
Soda" company. It is said that the fire
Started in th* candy room of the cafe
arid that there was quite a fire. The
outside* of foe building did not give
the appearance of there being a fire
and it was quite a little while after
the department reached the scene be
fore there was any snioke seen. When
the front doors of the cafe were
thrown open a great volume of smoke
burst through them. All of the fits
was confined to the rear of the cafe
and there" was practically no damage
dons to the front of the building or
the cafe.
Owing to the great work of the firs
department the firs was soon out and
there was vary littls damage done to
the building other than the manufac
turing room of the cafe. It is esti
mated that the damage done to the
candy department of the cafe will
amount to a good sum, but that the
dtmage done to the building itself it
very light comparatively,"
Mr. Hunt, proprietor 0/ Ye Garden,
could not be located* list night and a
Herald reporter hat bean trying all
day to get In touch with him. The ex
tent of the damage to hit place of bus
iness cannot be had until Ifr. Hunt
can bo seen. The hath of "his place
is thought to have been a complete
loss, although there was very little
damage to foe front.
