AMERICUS TIMES-RECOR*
WILL TOOT FOR ROOT
I DOWN IN MEXICO
: Warm Reception Arranged
By Greasers
I YANKEE DOODLE IN HUGE DOSES
• Will Be Hurled at His Royal Highness
When the Perambuleting Secre
tary Goes on Junket
There.
| NEW YORK, Sept., 6.—Secretary
! Root’s invasion of Mexico promises to
be one long-drawn-cut blare of brats
i bands, according to the entertainment
i plans now being made. There are few
i villages in Mexico so small as not to
; possess a band, and every such mus
j ical organization along the railroad
| between the border and the capital is
: now engaged in rehearsing “Yankee
Doodle” and other American airs, to
lie played violently as the secretary
of state passes through.
Mr. Root will need all the strength
gained by his physical culture
“stunts" to withstand this outburst of
melody.
It can be truthfully said of Mexican
bands, however, that they are almost
uniformly composed of accomplished
musicians. The program arranged
for the secretary during his stay in
Mexico City includes an official ban
quet and reception at the palace, a
banquet at Chapultepec, given bv Ig
nacio Marischal, a minister of foreign
relations, and a dinner by the city at
the Municipal palace.
As these banqets will take place on
succeeding days, with innumerable
breakfasts, suppers and luncheons be
tween, Mr. Root’s digestive apparatus
is also likely to he badly taxed.

GREAT RESULTS IN TRIP EXPECTED

NEW YORK, Sept., f,.—When the
new Cunard express steamship Lusi
tania leaves Liverpool tomorrow,
bound for New York, her departure
will mark the greatest event in m,in
tine history. Great enthusiasm, is
manifested here in the trip otithe
largest steamer propelled by tff«
greatest marine turbines yet con
structed, and elaborate exercises will
mark the beginning of her maiden
voyage.
i Special interest attaches to the
event because the Lucania will leave
port for New York at the same time,
and the passage of the Atlantic will
develop into a speed contest such as
has never before been known. Botli
vessels are booked full up and the
offices of tiie steamship company are
being besieged by homeward-bound
Americans, anxious to cross on the
Lusitania.
In addition to her turbine equip
ment the Lusitania presents many
novel features. She has accommoda
tions for 2,000 pasengers and a crew
of SOO. A£®
Family suites, elevators and tele
phones, nursery, gynasium, Turkish,
vapor and needle baths are special
features. Regal suites consiting of
two bedrooms, a dining room, re
ception room and a bathroom have
been provided for those who care
to pay tiie price. All the apartments
are ten and a half feet high and fur
nished in as costly and luxurious a
style as in the best New York ho

One of the striking features of the
ship is the great hall, the full breadth
of the vessel, with a colossal dome
reaching up to the topmost deck and
exquisitely decorated by artists of
note. Another novel feature is the
arrangement by which all the state
rooms have their bed sheets warmed

The Lusitania is 785 feet lang and

IN ROLE OF A RUBE
SEEKS LOST CHILD
Albany Man Claims Actress As
Daughter.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
ATLANTA, Sept. G. —An aged farm
er who claimed to be from Albany,
attempted to enter the stage en
trance of the Bijou theater, where
little Eva Westcott, a pretty blonde,
is playing the leading part in “Anita,
the Singing Girl,” and when repulsed,
muttered something about his “miss-
I ing daughter.
On yesterday afternoon Miss West
cott received a letter, postmarked at
Albany, in which the man, who did
not sign his name, begged her to
return home.
From the letter the man evidently
believes Miss Westcott to be his
daughter, who has been missing for
several years.
His frenzied appeal to her to re
turn home has frightened the young
actress until she was hardly able to
go on last night. She remained in
her room all day and sobbed with
excitement as she read the letter she
had received.
“I never was in Albany or near
there in my life, and the poor man
( is mistaken ,if he thinks I am his
daughter. But I'm afraid to go on
the street alone, for fear he has re
turned and will worry me. "I was
born in New Orleans, and I can't be
the girl he is looking for.”
The man is due in Atlanta tomor
row, according to his letter.
