GEUNS' CANAL POLICY IS INISE. SALS HEARST Attitude Toward 11. S. and Pan ama Waterway Contrasted With That of England. BERLIN. Sept- I - —Under the head- . \n Interview With the American Xei v « r .per King,” The Lokal Anzeiger ' rp-riin publishes the following inter v with william Randolph Hearst, Ihiifned by its London correspondent: •\\ lliar.t Randolph Hearst, the riean Newspaper King, is at the ... hotel here. He received me yes and during our talk he dwelled Germany's attitude in the ques ,f th e Panama canal, and upon ' subjects that are- of exceptiona’ ■ r I Hearst is the owner and di rr. i'ing spirit of not less than ten daily < in various cities of the United Vrnte« which with their some 4.000,000 cover the entire continent. He the owner of several large \ . . i. v and monthly periodicals, one of ■phe Cosmopolitan Magazine, nlone appears in an edition of over a n . f i..n It may, therefore, be correct y t ,,, Prl that Mr. Hearst has his hand on IT, pulse of an enormous number of Amriicans, and in consequence inter prets public opinion. Germany’s Wise Attitude. • Speaking of Germany and the Pan ama canal, Mi. Hearst said: •Concerning the Panama canal question. Germany has shown remark able discernment and good judgment regarding the nterests and the feelings of’th. United States. This has been evident, not only in the press, but in the attitude of the government. I b- - lieve that this will greatly tend to strengthen the cordial relations be tween the United States and Germany that hav always existed.’ On the attitude of England, Mr. Hearst said: •‘■The Hay-Pauncefote treaty was intended to take the place of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty for the ex pressly defined purpose of expunging a number of absurd arrangements be tween England and the United States. Hence, the Hay-Paunceforte treaty, like the Clayton-Bulwer treaty upon which it is based, can as little be con sidtrel rhe last word in this affair. England has from the beginning based its claim to a voice in the control of the Panama canal on an a’leged pro tectorate over the territory of the Mos kito Indians, in which lay the Atlantic terminal of the canal as planned in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. "■Both treaties, therefore, have their foundation in pre-suonositions which have become void through the acquisi tion of the canal zone by the United States. Canal Zone U. S. Territory. ■ "I’ht canal zone Is now not less part an I parcel of the United States than the District of Columbia, in the national capital is situated. It is quite natural, if doubtful points are contained in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty that the United States should interpret them in its interest. ‘Under these conditions the impar tia! judgment must be that the United States shows great magnanimity in not insisting on the right of free passage for all American ships in the canal which the United States alone built and on ns. “ ’Our coastwise shipping would, without the privile’ge of free passage through the canal, be unable to com pete with other vessels that use it. We r’o not object to the subsidizing of ships by other nations, hut what would Eng land say if we denied to her the right to subsidize vessels that are to use the canal?’ "With regard to the police scandal in New York and other cities, Mr. Hearst gave it as his opinion that the people < f ’he United States .are absolutely de termined to put an end to corruption. Concerning the presidential election Mr Hearst chose not to talk, as weeks had passed since he left the United States. Illuminating Scandals. "The agitation for annexing Canada Is not taken seriously by Mr. Hearst. Hr says that Canada would ‘possibly’ be welcomed as a member of the Fed eration of States, if it on its own ac '•'l applied for admission. However, he explained that his question was as yet far remote. "Recurring to municipal and political scandals, Mr. Hearst said: " in order to abolish an evil it is n< • essary first to diagnose what the evil is. Hence, scandals are frankly :i-l publicly discussed in America. I fit 1 that on this side of the Atlantic one is given to the hushing up of dis agreeable public Scandals. 1 need only ref.-r to the investigation of the Titanic atastrophe. " ‘We Americans at least are pre pared to meet and to combat the evil op.nly. This is being demonstrated in ; h‘’ administration of municipalities as "ell as in the affairs of the state, and trpr. ially of the nation where at pres ent a vigorous war is being* waged against the monopoly of ttje Standard Oil trust.’ ” Protest Serious, Says London Times LONDON, Sept. 12. —The London • ’•■ « prints the following editorial on I’inama canal and treaty: There are obvious reasons for agree wtth those persons in Washington > believe that it would be wise di ' ie\ upon our part to refrain from ■ -mg a formal protest against the “VAMPIRE WOMAN” IN CRUSADE ON RESORTS X X Ethel Parker, known as "Frankie Ford” a prominent wit ness in the Federal investigation into the charges of vice and white slave traffic at West Hammond. Chicago, 111. Inquirv into the death ot John Messmaker, who died in the house run hv Henry Foss and Cornelius (Con) Moore, ringleaders in the no torious West Hammond section, who are under arrest, will come up in Chicago September l(i. It is believed Messmaker died from drugs he received in the Foss resort. Miss Parker, the so called "Vampire Woman, who was with Messmaker when he died, is being held for the inquiry. It was her remarkable story of murder, vice and graft that resulted in the present wide inquirv and the arrest of the two resort keepers and numerous others. POISON INRESDRT VICTIM’S VISCERA _ < Virginia Brooks Thinks Frankie Ford’s Story of “Death Bot tle” Is Substantiated. CHICAGO, Sent. 12. —Discovery of mor phine in sufficient quantities to have caused death, as a result of the analysis of the stomach of John Messmaker, who died in a resort in West Hammond, has started the county officials on a new in vestigation today. The first step will be a further examination of Frankie Ford, the "Vampire Woman,” a former inmate of the resort, said by other women there to have injected morphine In Messmaker’s arm. The girl, now held on a charge of complicity in Messmaker's death, will be examined as soon as she is well enough to undergo the ordeal. The finding of morphine in the stomach in such great quantities has led the coro ner to the belief that even if the Ford woman injected some of the drug, it is probable that other quantities of it were given by mouth. The witnesses who tes tified against the Ford girl will be cross examined by the coroner. A chemical analysis of the stomach of Robert Clayton, a cab driver, who testi fied that Messmaker had spent the night before his death in Foss’ resort, will be made by the coroner’s physician. Clayton died a day after making the statement. It has been asserted that he died of poi son. Miss Virginia Brooks, heading the cru sade against vice in West Hammond, is certain that the finding of the coroner’s physician upholds the statements of the Ford girl that Messmaker died from a draught from the "death bottle" in the Foss resort. MILKMAN EXTINGUISHES BOMB WITH COMMODITY NEW YORK, Sept. 12. —Antonio Janke, a milkman, climbing a tenement stairs with his wares, saw a lighted bomb in his path. He emptied his milk can on it and extinguished the fuse. Panama canal act until after the forth coming presidential election. It is thought, our correspondent in that city tells us, that such a postponement would tend to secure for the British case, when it is laid, calmer and more judicial consideration than it would be likely to obtain at an early date. “Very probably this view may be cor rect. but at the same time it would be a great mistake were we to lend by our silence the slightest countenance to the idea which has been advanced in some American papers that this protest is not very seriously meant. "We are so confident that the actual words of the treaty fully bear out the meaning which we place upon them and that they are incapable of bearing the cwnstruction forced upon them by Mr. Taft, that extraneous evid< n. • to sup port .our interpretation may stem hard ly needed." THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. 1912. RECEIVEBSFDR U. 5. MOTORS GO. Perkins. Ryan, and the Late Colonel Astor Among Stock holders of Concern. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Judge Hough in the United States district court to day appointed W. E. S.

The preferred stock sold at SBO a share one year ago; yes terday It closed at $6 a share. The common stock dropped from $42 a share to sl. The United States Motors Company was a combination. It was effected in 910. George W. Perkins was reported at the time to be interested in the en tAprise. But Perkins was not the only man of wealth and power whose name has been linked with affairs of the corporation. Among the stockholders were Anthony N. Brady, James C. Bra. d.v, Jules S. Bache, Colonel Samuel P. Colt, Thomas A. Ryan, Herbert L. Sat terlee (son-in-law of J. P. Morgan), Harry Payne Whitney, the late John Jacob Astor and Benjamin Briscoe. Failed to Float Bonds.

SEEKS DIVORCE WHEN COOKING IS CRITICISED ST LAUIS, Sept. 12.—Alleging her husband told her her cooking was not fit for human beings, and that he gave her but $1 a week for household ex pense, Mrs. Wilhelmina Linder, of Leb anon, 111., filed suit for divorce from William Linder Monday in the Belle ville circuit court. Linder, who is a saloon keeper, is charged In his wife’s petition with threatening her with a revolver on two occasions, on one of which. Mis.

DOUGLAS, ARIZ., Sept. 12.—Sharp warning was sent to General Rojas, the Mexican rebel commander, early today that if he carries out his threat to at tack Agua Prieta he must avoid im perilling the lives of Americans .tn Douglas. Agua Prieta is'just across the line. The warning was sent by United States army officers and two cavalry troops began patrolling the border tine l at dawn, while rebels moved two ma chine guns to the east side of the Mex ican town. There was little sleep here last night in anticipation of a rebel at tack. General Rojas' response to the warning stated that his attack on Agua Prieta. if Lieutenant Colonel Begne the federal commander, did not sur render. would be made from the east to avoid shooting over the line. Bt-gne sent word here last night that he would not surrender. His force con sists of 600 and two-thirds of these are regarded as of doubtful loyalty. Rojas has 1,000 men. the great majority of them bandits recruited from northerr. towns. The federate threw up a barri cade about the town during the night, but this was not considered strong enough to obstruct an attack in force. Five companies of negro cavalry ar rived during the night and trouble started today when they appeared at two saloons frequented by Mexicans. There was a clash between the troopers and the Mexicans. A carload of ammunition arrived this morning. Women and children left Agua Prieta today, crossing the border into the United States. Although the rebel limit for surrender expired at 8 o’clock this morning, no attack had been started at noon. Southern Pacific Train Is Burned TUCSON, ARIZ., Sept. 12.—The latest outiage of Mexican rebels, the capture and burning of a Southern I«i --cific train at Aguas Arica, south of Nogales, led railroad officials here to declare today that demands made on the United States government for pro tection for property and passengeis will be pressed. All except the Pullman and day coach of the train were burned. A ne gro porter came from the scene on a hand car to get an engine to haul the two cars back to American soil. President Epes Randolph, of the Randolph lines, which are affiliated with the Harriman system, is compil ing a list of the property outrages perpetrated by insurrectos to be sub mitted to the government. The list in cludes the burning of bridges, distur bance of telegraph communication and the destruction of trackage. All of the damage has been done by insurgent and bandit gangs who profess alle giance to General Campa, one of the rebel leaders in Sonora. Rebels Cost Road $3,000,000. ’’The larger part of our road on Mex ican soil has been out of commission for months,” said Mr. Randolph today. "Bridges have been burned faster than they can be repaired. Many miles of trackage along the 1,000 miles leading to Topic have been blasted out with dynamite. The total financial loss from property destruction and depletion in revenue will be more than $3,000,000. "Th? Mexican gederal government has tried to help us, but the situation has got beyond it. The Insurgents are so scattered that several bands may be operating at once and it is impossible for the foderpls to round them all up. No sooner is one band displaced than several others get active at another part of the line. "The rebels are not satisfied with destroying property; they want to add murder to every crime.” Twenty-five mites south of Guayamas rebels tried to kill all the passengers on a train by wrecking the underpinning of a trestle so the train would plunge into a deep ravine. They failed, owing to the vigilance of the engineer. Mexican Troops Pass Through U. S. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—Four hun dred and fifty Mexican federal soldiers, under command of General San .lines, have passed through American terri tory from El Paso, Texas, to Douglas, Artz. The government troops, the majority of whom were Yaqui Indians, well armed and provisioned for a long cam paign, entrained at El Paso at 7 o’clock last night and started over the El Paso Southwestern railroad for the Arizona border town, tin arrival there early today they detrained, collected their arms and ammunition and crossed the border in martial formation. Much ceremony attended the resumption of the arms by the troops, they being pre sented with their rifles and cartridge belts while standing on the Mexican side of the border. This was done to prevent even a technical violation of the unwritten law regarding passage through the United States of a foreign armed force. The Mexican troops were accompa nied through Toxas and Arizona by a guard of American soldiers under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Rob erts, of the Terftii infantry. •••••••••••••••••••••••••a : Bryan to Trail TJt • : On Stumping Tour • • • • CHICAGO, Sept. 12.—William • • Jennings Bryan, now resting in • • Colorado Springs, will start Satur- • • day on a great speaking tour • • which will take him throughout • • the country on the trail of Theo- • • dore Roosevelt.

JACKSON. MISS., Sept. 12. The to tal absence of the Mexican boll weevil in the northern portion of the delta this year has furnished a theme for much interesting speculation among agricul tural experts. An explanation of the disappearance of the nest is offered by Dr. R. V. Powers, of this city, a cotton grow in" expert, who owns large plant ing interests in the delta. "The weevil has disappeared simply' because he was starved out last year,” says Dr. Powers. "It will be recalled that the ravages of the army worm were exceedingly bad last year, espe cially, in the upper counties of the delta. The army worm came along just about this time of the year, stripped the cot ton absolutely celan, and as a result the boll weevils actually starved to death, or perished beneath the blister ing rays of the sun. and none was left for seed this year. It was literally a case of one pest destroying another, and, as the army worm rarely comes two years in succession.' the result is splendid ciops in the delta this sea son.” According to reports received here, the general cron outlook In the delta is the best for many years, and some planters declare that the cotton al ready made is move than they will be able to pick with their available labor supply. This is especially true in the northern counties Contiguous to Mem phis. AGRICULTURAL HIGH SCHOOLS PLANNED IN ALL MISS. COUNTIES JACKSON, MISS., Sept. 12.—Profes sor J. N. Powers, state superintendent of education, declares that he intends to have an agricultural high school completed, or in course of construction, in every county in Mississippi, "There is no movement that Is of mote vital importance to the material welfare of our state at present than the esablishment of these agricultural high schools,’ says Professor Powers, “and our campaign has in reality just com menced. When other counties see what is being accomplished in those counties where the schools are In oper ation they will quickly follow suit." Advices were received at the depart ment of education today that rhe board of supervisors of Wilkinson county has ordered an additional tax levs' of on' mill for the agricultural high school to be completed and placed in operation within the next year, ITCHING SCALP M LOSS OF HAIR On Back of Head.

LAGRANGE. OREG., Sept. 12. Colonel Roosevelt opened a day of campaigning In eastern Oregon here with a speech before breakfast. From his train the ex-president went to a public square, where he denounced boss rule and upheld the Progressive party as the instrument of pure politics. "I am only in this fight because I feel that neither of the old parties cares a cent about the people.” said the colo nel. "My critics say I am in it only to advance my own Interests. If that were my purpose. I would fail. This is not a one-man affair. It is an out growth of a sentiment that has gradu ally been gaining force in this country —a feeling of restless discontent with the old parties prevails. The Progres sive party stands ready to fulfill its promise of improving the condition of those who are obliged to work for their living. While we want the wealthy men of the country with us, we do not want the laws adjusted so that they alone shall get the benefit. If we don't have uniform laws, to be of advantage to every one, we will fall in our idea of popular government.*’ Must Grapple With Problems. The colonel exploited his ideas of the minimum wage for women, alluding to Governor Wilson as a student of books, not of people. "My opponent, Mr. Wilson,” he said, "dof>s not agree with me that this ought to be done. Perhaps after he has stud ied it, aside from the books he reads, he will find that lam right. I don’t de pend on books for my knowledge of conditions. I have .studied them at close range, and I know what problems actually confront the working men and working women of the country. If we are to avert an industrial crisis in this country, we must grapple with the problems as we find them, and not set up a cry against suggestions looking to a solution of them. Our opponents would do well to consider that before they go about shrieking that things must not be changed.” Roosevelt'will reach Boise, Idaho, late in the day. He. speaks there tonight. "THE HAIRS OF YOUR HEAD ARE NUMBERED” There is a great deal of truth in the old saying. Roots die, vitality gives out. The hair begina to turn grey. This is particularly unfortunate as we are all living in an age when to LOOK young means to fill the YOUNG and IMPORTANT positions. Old fogies go to the background. If you should begin to chalk down every day of your life, the exact number of hairs that turn grey, you would be surprised and soon learn that ’’The Grey Hairs of Pre mature Old Age" come on very quickly, if you neglect them.
