THE ATLAN TA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, FRIDAY. APRIL 18, 1913.
Slayer of Madero Is Unable to
Check Tide of Opposition’ Ris
ing Throughout Nation.
WASHINGTON, April 18.—The
situation in Mexico shows no im
provement, according to State
Department advices to-day It
was reported that the rebels had
cut off railroad communication
between Monterey and Tampico
and between Monterey and the
United States except via Mexico
City.
MEXICO CITY, April 18.—The be
lief that the overthrow of the Huerta
government is near and that General
Obregon, commander of the Sonora
rebels, and Venustiano Carranza, ex-
Govemor of C'oahuila, are about to
win success in their revolt Is growing
hourly throughout Mexico.
The banks continue to reflect the
Government's financial difficulties, and
refuse to sell exchange except at ex
orbitant rates, wirlle merchants are
raising their prices to balance the dif
ference between Mexican and foreign
currency. There is no fixed rate of
exchange. The bankers are buyeTs as
low as 230, while demanding from
heavier purchasers as high as 250 .
That the rebels in the north are
rapidly extending their lines is indi
cated by the isolation to-day of Mon
terey and Saltillo, the capitals, re
spectively, of Nuewo Leon and Coa-
huila, by the cutting of the railroad
at Linares, between Monterey and
Tampico, and the main line of the
National Railroad between San Luis
Potosl and Saltillo. Linares Is re
ported to be occupied by the rebels.
Rebels Closing In.
MISSION, TEXAS, April 18.—Reb
els began drawing their forces close
around Matamoros to-day. The main
body of constitutionalists, number
ing about 900 men, camped last night
outside Rio Grande, almost within
eight of here.
It is reported a concerted attack
upon Matamoros will be made to
morrow. During the last few days
there has been a spread of the revo
lution in the States of Tamaullpas
and Nueva Leon.
The towns of Camarago, Rexnosa
and Rio Bravo, all situated near the
Rio Grande, were occupied by rebels
yesterday.
The force of several hundred con
stitutionalists that captured Lampa
sas a few days ago is moving toward
Monterey, with the view of attacking
that city.
Broyles Appealed to
As Genealogy Expert
New York Woman Searches for
Record of Birth Here in ’34’s
of One Walter Scott.
Recorder Broyles to-day received a
letter from Miss Victoria Scott, of
114 East Eighteenth Street, New
York city, asking if there Is any rec
ord here of th birth of Waltr H.
Scott between the years 1836 and
1839. As Atlanta then was nothing
more than dense woods and its in
habitants wild animals and Indians,
no record of such a. birth could be
found.
Court Investigator Ed Arthur in
quired at the Board of Health office
and was informed by Secreary Thorn
ton that the first birth records were
dated 1896. The marriage records
started in 1887. The officer was in
formed that if there were any such
records prior to the war they were
burned by Sherman’s men.

No Ice This Spring
Where Titanic Sank
Liners Already Using Northern
Route, Which is Patrolled by
U. S. and British Cutters.
Fulton Bank Chosen
AsaU. S. Depository
local Bank Designated to Handle
Ascounts of Government
at Atlanta.
The Fulton National Bank of At
lanta received notice to-day from the
Secretary of the Treasury at Wash
ington of its appointment as a desig
nated depository of public moneys.
This appointment means not only
that the United States Government
will deposit funds with the Fulton
National Bank and draw upon them
at will, but. that local national banks,
which have heretofore been compelled
to make payments on account of their
o per cent redemption fund, required
by the Government to be maintained
in Washington, direct to the Treasur
er of the United States or to a suo-
treasury, may now' make these pay
ments to the Fulton National Bank.
This appointment gives the Fulton
National Bank the privilege of hand
ling for the Government such ac
counts as postoffice accounts, custom
house accounts or such other Federal
accounts as the Government may de
sire to deposit locally.
Ordinary Can’t Be
Executor at Home
Supreme Court Rules Man Out Who
Was Officer in County in
Which He Served.
An ordinary can not act as executor
of an estate in the county in which he
is Ordinary, under an opinion handed
down to-day by the Georgia Supreme
Court in the case of Wilson against
Wilson. The case was from the Su
perior Court of Taylor County.
R. E. Wilson in November, 1911,
named hia father, W. B. Wilson, ex
ecutor. He died and the father went
before the Ordinary's Court to probate
the will and qualify as executor. The
r ierk allowed the applicant to qualify,
hut the widow of the son filed a
'aveat, protesting against the ap
pointment of her father-in-law on the
mound that he was Ordinary of the
county and was, therefore, disqualified
to act as executor. The lower court
here her out in the contention and the
judgment was affirmed.
NEW YORK, April 18,—Owing to
the fact that Seneca, a United States
revenue cutter, and the Scotia, a
British steamship, both on duty as ice
patrol vessels in the region where the
Titanic was lost last year, have been
unable to find any ice in those waters,
the principal trans-Atlantic steam
ship lines already are operating their
west-bound vessels over a lane 60
miles north of the course which has.
been followed all winter.
The absence of ice is accounted for
by the mildness of the winter just
ended. The most southerly iceberg
reported so far this spring was seen
on March 28 by the Russia, of the
Russian-American line, and was en
countered 90 miles north of where the
Titanic sank.
Wife Aids Eloping
Pastor by Divorce
Way Cleared for Jere Knode Cooke
to Wed Ward After Six-
Year Wait.
NEW YORK, April 18.—With the
filing of papers in a divorce suit in
Hartford, Conn,, this afternoon, by
Mrs. Jere Knode Cooke, the first step
was taken which ultimately will re
sult in the marriage of Cooke, for
merly pastor of St. George’s Episcopal
Church in Hempstead, L. I., to Flo-
retta Whaley, with whom he eloped
six years ago.
Miss Whaley made a plea that the
public let her and Mr. Cooke alone in
the future to live their lives as they
choose.
'We have been driven from all of
the homes we have made," said she,
"and 1 hope we may be allowed to
remain in the one we have now. It
has been the greatest wish of our
lives to be married, and now. thanks
to Mrs. Cooke, we can be in a few
months.”
PLI5 UPLIFT
OFS WHERE
Children Will Be Taught the Art
of Acting by New Atlanta
Organization.
"While the work of the Drama
League Is essentially to improve the
morals of children through the con-,
centratlon of their minds upon the
serious side of life through the pro
duction of amateur plays, war agalns*.
the immoral plays being produced by
professionals will also be waged by
the league.”
This is the statement of Mrs A.
Starr Best, of Chicago, organizer of
the Drama League of America, who
has fust organized a branch in At
lanta. (
“While I would not care to specify
any particular plays which might be
thought to be immoral, it is the intent,
of our organization to purify the stage
life to the extent that those who at-
end the theater may be protected
against witnessing shows that bring
blushes,” said Mrs. Best.
Try to Purify Minds.
“Looking to the future, we are en
deavoring to purify the children’s
minds and to give them a more se
rious view of life. We do not intend
to make actors out of them, but to
give them better poise and to develop'
a real appreciation of life among
them.
“We have had great success with
the work in Chicago. Every child has
been given the chance to display his
ability. The league is democratic and,
while the amateur plays we put on
would have made a better showing
had we used the best talent among
the children, every child was given an
opportunity. The result svas that
every one went about the work in the
most serious manner.
Work Lies in Future.
“Our work, to a great extent, lieB
in the future. We are starting at the
foundation and hope to build up a
strength of character among the chil
dren that will completely annihilate
the immoral play in later years.”
Mrs. Best organized the local branch
with 90 members, while a large num
ber of others are expected to Join.
Miss Caroline Cobb, of Athens, is the
State organizer, while an organizing
committee for the local chapter is
composed of Rev. W. W. Memminger,
chairman; Mrs. W. C. Spiker, Mrs
Burton Smith. Mrs. T. R. Felder, Mrs.
Warren, Albert Howell. Robert Fore
man and Linton Hopkins. A meet
ing will be held by this committee in
the next week or two, when the de
tails of the organization will be taken
up.
Mrs. Best's address at the Georgian
Terrace was largely attended, her au
dience being composed of Atlanta
fashionables.

3 WITNE
E
Rumor Says Written Confessions
Will Teli of irregularities in
Buying Fire Apparatus.
Three important witnesses in the
Atlanta City Fire Department probe
were to-day reported to have disap
peared, and a rumor was current that
two confessions of irregularities in
the sale of Fire Department apparat
us to the city have been made.
T. H. Reynolds, now thought to be
a detective in the employ of the Na
tional Underwriters’ Association, in
timated that he had the confessions.
J. J. Rafter, P. O. Hebert and J. I
Blount were the men reported miss
ing, but they may show' up In time
for the next meeting of the probers.
Reynolds Keeps Mum.
Reynolds, who refused to discuss
any of the details of the investiga
tion which lie has made here, held a
long conference to-day with Mayor
Woodward. Chief Cummings’ secre
tary was also closeted with the chief
executive of the city government.
Reynolds was In the Mayor’s otfice
for an hour. After the conference,
neither he nor the Mayor would talk
about what had occurred. Prior to
the conference, it had been given out
as extremely probable that a meeting
of the Council investigating commit
tee would be called for to-morrow
morning, when the confessions said
to have been secured by Reynolds
were to have been given out. Mayor
Woodward, however, stated that no
conference will be held, while Aider-
man J. H. Harwell, chairman of the
investigating committee, said he had
not decided w hether to call a meeting
or not.
It is generally understood in city
hall circles that Reynolds divulged im
portant Information to Mayor Wood
ward at their conference this after
noon. When the conference closed at
1:30 o’clock, Reynolds declared that
later developments had sealed his
mouth. Mayor Woodward declared
he and Reynolds talked about “noth
ing in particular.”

Color No Bar, Says
Atlanta Postmaster
McKee Denies That He Will Turn
Out Negro Carriers to Replace
With Whites.
”1 am not going to turn out colored
special delivery carriers for white
men. I do not intend to discharge
any one merely on account of his
color,” said Postmaster McKee this
morning in discussing the rumored
change In the personnel of the special
delivery carriers.
"As vacancies occur I may name
white men to fill the places or I may
name negroes. I am interested only
in the beRt service for the people.”
Congressman William Schley How
ard’s tip as to the desirability of
white employees wherever they could
be obtained will, however, probably
have great weight with Mr. McKee.
