Orozco’s Forces in Mexico Split
and Many Flock Across Bor
der to El Paso, Texas.
EL PASO. TEXAS, Sent. 10.—Con
salerable relief »•»>• felt along th M-x. |
tian border today when it became
Lnoxxn that a mutiny had broken out
in the army of General Orozpo, the
rem-l leader. Hundreds have deserted
<nd during the past 24 Lours a large
T.-nWer haw flocked into E! Paso.
Indications are that if the desertions
continue Orozco will be without an
atntx and will have to surrender or
d"e. Such an outcome would help the
Fvdetal government immensely and
probably avert the danger of United
States intervention, as President Ma
dero would be able to divide th army
putsuing Orozco and send smaller de
tachments after the isolated bands
menacing Americans.

hours in the Campbell county chain-
Igang? as "John .Marvel." forger, learned
many things from his "Day as a Con

tin- visible result of his penitentiary
adventure is shattered health.
Wehner is now in New York recu
perating from a month's illness which
confined him to St. Josephs infirmary,
and for a time threatened to prove
typhoid fever. When the Blender sec

measure advocated by his association.
While the bill failed at passage in the
legislature. Wellner spent a month In
terviewing assemblymen in Its behalf.
On his return to Atlanta his friends
immediately noted the change in his
physical condition and ascribed it to
his 24 hours in th<‘ c haingang. Welt
ner laughed and worked hard for his
bill during the legislature. On August
1 lie went to St. Josephs infirmary with
an illness the physicians at first pro
nounced incipient typhoid fever.
"of course, there is no way of -prov

Campbell county chaingang, but that is
my idea, of It,” said one of his closest
friends.
Weltner, it will be remembered, tried
to gain admission to the Coweta coun

upon the Campbell county warden to let

Chairman Murphey Candler today
received a letter from W. M. Joyner,
national chairman of the railroad com.
mittee of the Southeastern passenger
division of the Travelers Protective
Association of America, upholding Gov
ernor Brown's veto of the mileage
"pulling” bill, and asking the commis
sion, on behalf of the traveling men
coming South, to let the i»itb?age mat

thing worse to follow the reversal of
the governor.
His letter Is as follow#:
"Let Well Enough Alone.”
Suffolk, Va... Sept. 7, 1912.
State Railroad Commission, At
lanta, Ga.:
Gentlemen —I see you have not
rendered any decision in regard to
pulling mileage' on the train. lam
In Baltimore for a few days and
the traveling men who go South
here again have asked me tn write
you and say we think It would be
much better to let the mileage mat
ter rest just where it is. I am quite
sure Georgia otherwise would be tn
th- same fix as South Carolina, and
the traveling men would rather let
well enough alone. I am sure we
can not compel the roads to sell fn
terchaugea-ble mileage unless they
wish to do so.
Thanking you gentlemen in ad
vance for doing that which will
benefit the greatest number, by
letting the traveling men get the
exchange ticket for mileage. Yours
truly,
