let wounds in his body, lies in a criti
cal condition at a local sanitarium,
and his son-in-law, Jack J. Brooks, is
in the Cobb county Jail as the result
of a quarrel between the two early In

The younger man te said to have
shot five times, four of the shots tak
ing effect, one ballet entering Just be

body of tlie older man, who is about

The troublo . between/the two men

since in an argument over a wagon,
Lon Brooks being a driver for the
Black Builders’ Supply company, where
Jack Brooks holds a responsible posi
tion.
"I logret this more than anything
that could have happened,” Jack Brooks
told newspaper men when seen at the
jail where he is incarcerated. "I would
not have done it for (anything except
my life bad been in danger. He was ad-
vanning on me with a knife, and i shot
to protect myself."
It is claimed that Lon Brooks was
drinking at the time of the shooting,
having been rup out of a lunch room
ft few doors from the lumber plant for
creating a disturbance a few minutes be
fore the shooting.
Jack Brooks, who is 30 years old,
is well known here, being prominent in
several fraternal orders. He bears the
\ reputation of being industrious and
peaceable. Herbert Clay has been re
tained as his attorney, V

U. S. MAY RECOGNIZE MEXICO
Views Of Washington Made Known To
American Embassy—Treaty
Awaits Signature
Washington.—The long controversy
between the United States' and the
Obregon government in. Mexico ’ has
reached a state regarded in some offic
ial quarters as forecasting an early
complete agreement.
Renewed assurance regarding the
protection of the rights of foreigners
in the southern republic, all along the
chief stumbling block in the way of
recognition of Obregon by this govern
ment, have been sent to Washington
and apparently have been received by
officials here as an important step In
the right direction.
The views of Washington on the sub
ject have been made known to Charge
Summerlin of the American embassy
in Mexico City, and discussions are in
progress there whicli are expected to
lead to a public announcement with a
few days.
Ever since 1921 a draft treaty, pro
posing a renewal of good relations be
tween Washington and Mexico and in
volving recognition of the Obregon re
gime by the United States has been in
Mr. Summerlin’s hands awaiting signa
ture at the moment satisfactory guar
antees have been given in regard to
American rights. Whether that time
has come officials here will not say.
It is known, however, that legisla
tion pending in the Mexican chamber
of deputies, designed to so. apply ar-
i 27 of the Mexican constitution i
I Glut it will not be retroactive, is re^‘
Igarded by Obregon officials at least,'
I as embodying the sort of guarantee the,
United States has /requested. That
opinion has been made known to this
government through the Mexican em
bassy hero in a comprehensive re-state
ment of the whole Mexican side of
the case.
For many months the controversy
which has prevented repognition has
revolved about article 27, which has
boon regarded here aB confiscatory of
American holdings in Mexico unless
it were so interpreted as to exclude
any possibility of its application retro
actively. Without that positive inter
pretation, it has been felt, the article
might easily be invoked to cancel
American concessions granted before
the constitution was adopted.
