U, S. Will Refuse to Recognize Huerta
Will Not Last Year Out, President
Says—Stronger Successor
Is Hoped For.
WASHINGTON, July 21.—The
United States does not intend to rec-
ogmize the Huerta Government in
Mexico, because that administration
is reported to be tottering to its ruin
and is not expected to last the year
out.
This was the gist of President Wil
son’s discussion of the Mexican sit
uation with the Washington corre
spondents to-day. The President said
that at present he is doing nothing
but studying the Mexican problem so
as to be able to discuss It thoroughly
with Ambassador Wilson when the
latter reaches Washington Friday.
But he indicated clearly that the
Administration does not intend to rec
ognize Huerta, no matter what advice
the Ambassador gives.
The Chief Executive has been ad
vised on the highest authority that
President Huerta is losing his grip. It
is not considered good policy to rec
ognize a government which has but a
short time to live, and the Unite!
States will reserve its approbation fcr
another and stronger regime, which,
it is hoped, will succeed the Huer'a
Government.
The President to-day indicated
clearly that there would be no further
steps in the Mexican matter until aft
er the White House conference sched
uled for Friday.
Rebels Reported Planning
Massacre of Americans.
EL PASO, July 21.—Efforts were
made to-day to obtain news from
the Madero lumber camp, 200 miles

ed by Mexican rebels* and in danger
of being massacred.
Appeals for aid were received by
officials of the Madero Lumber Com
pany here, General Francisco Castro,
federal commander in Juarez, and
American Consul Thomas D. Edwards.
General Castro was asked to send
rtoops to protect the Americans.
The Madero Lumber Company is
an American-Canadian Corporation.
It owns a large area of forest lands,
controls the Mexican Northwestern
Railroad and has built several small
towns in Northwestern Mexico.
U. S. Warship to Protect
Americans at Frontera.
WASHINGTON, July 21.—Either a
United States battleship or a gunboat
will be sent to Frontera, Mexico, in
response to a request from the United
States Consul there, for the protection
of American lives and property, it

Department, which is expected hour
ly.

to-day that permission will be grant
ed to General Obregon, the rebel lead
er, to visit Los Angeles.

no further dispatches relating to the
battle between the federals and con
stitutionalists yesterday, but it is ex
pected the conflict will he decisive in
determining whether this province
will be added to the territory now un
der rebel control.

Reconsiders Adverse Action
New County After Hot Debate.
Hardeman Scores Lobby.
on
After one of the stormiest sittings
of the present session, the House of
Representatives to-day agreed to re
consider Its previous adverse action
upon Candler County by a vote of 92
to 59.
During the progress of the debate
on Candler the House was bitterly ar
raigned by M~ Hardeman, of Jeffer
son, for its slow progress to date,
which charge was quite as vehement
ly resented by Mr. Blackburn, of Ful
ton, and others.
Mr. TVohlwender, of Muscogee,
whose call for the previous question on
Thursday last was held responsible
for Candler's slaughter then, In mov
ing to reconsider to-day, explained to
the House that he had made his mo

Four Women Caught
In Vice Net Escape
From Martha Home
Four young women, three of whom
had been caught In Chief Beavers’ vice
dragnet last week, escaped from the
Martha Home during cnapel exercises
Sunday night.
The women were Effie Drummond,
who after being caught In a raid on
Mrs. Lula Bell’s place at Peters and
Fair streets, declared she was a min
ister’s daughter from North Carolina,
and had been the victim of a white
slaver; Maude Doughetry. apprehended
at the same house; Beatrice Renfro,
companion of A. N. Trippe, a Whitehall
street clerk, arrested on complaint of
Tripp’e wife, and Hyrtle Bell, who was
placed in the home at the requcrt of
her parents.

Dove of P;ace Scared.
This apparently paved the way for | Work wilI be ~ med Tllesday
a peaceful vote, but it soon became morning on the new Healey Building
plain that a peaceful vote was not in following a conference Monday oe-
sieht.
Mr Hardman vehemently protested
reconsideration, and in doing . According to the terms of
charged that the House was
gracefully far behind in its business,
and that too much time already had
been w'asted on new county claims
and constitutional amendments.
Mr. Hardeman’s wholesale denun
ciation of the House for laxness and
tardiness was quickly resented. It
was contended that the present
House, instead of being behind in its
work, is really farther ahead as it
enters its last 25 days than any House
for many years past.
Bills’ Status M*de Plain.
The appropriations bill is ready for
the House’s consideration, and Chair
man Wheatly has given notice that he
will call it up Tuesday.
This will put it before the House at
least ten days earlier than usual.
The tax act, it was contended, will
reach the House In record-breaking
time, and the House committees have
worked overtime reporting bills.
Representative Blackburn chal
lenged Mr. jlardeman to name any
Legislature within the knowledge of
either man, both of whom are vet
erans of the House, wherein ahy bill
of general Importance, particularly
the appropriations bill and the tax
act, was reported within th e first
25 days of its session.
Mr. Hardeman did not name such
a Legislature, but he held, neverthe
less, that the present House had been
unnecessarily slow'.
The gentleman from Jefferson de
clared that the whole trouble lay at
the door of the proposed new coun
ties, and said that he had been “lob
bied with so persistently and so ve
hemently that he could not even find
places to eat and sleep in comfort in
Atlanta.”
Debate Grows Personal.
As the vote was proceeding, at
least 40 members arose to explain
their votes, and at times the debate
became very personal and full of
feeling.
Mr. Wohlwender, of Muscogee, was
the storm center of the talk as a rule,
but it was evident enough that be
neath it was another and far more
important something—perhaps a di
rect fight upon the very House or
ganization itself.
The reconsidered Candler County
measure probably will go over to
next session, and it is doubtful
whether any other new county propo
sitions will come up this year.

Women Voters of
Chicago Keep Tab On
Aldermen’s Conduct
Here are the important de
velopments of Monday in the
Phafran case:
The decision of the Grand
Jury of Fulton County not
to bring at this time an in
dictment against James Con
ley.
The information that there
is a strong probability of
another postponement of the
trial of Leo M. Frank.
The Grand Jury’s refusal to reopen
I its Investigation of the Phagan r.. r-
0 I der mystery was a decided victory for
J | the Solicitor after that body had over
ridden his request thut no session he
called to take up the matter In any of
its aspects.
A report that Judge L. S. Roan,
who will preside at the Frank trial,
had signified his desire that the case
be. put off until fall, gave rise to the
expectation that another postpone
ment will take place, and that the
date probably will be set for some
w r eek in September.
Defense Said To Be Willing.
The defense also is said to be in
favor of a continuence. Luther Z.
Rosser, chief of counsel for Frank,
said Monday that he did not contem
plate asking for further delay, but
thought that It would be a hardship
on the Jurors to hear the case at this
time of the year. He made it plain
that he would not oppose any move
for a continuance.
I The Grand Jury Monday decided to
CHICAGO. _ July
21.—Women of
Chicago, who will vote for the first
time at the next city election, to-day
began definite plans for defeating
Aldermen who do not vote on the side
of the public good on all questions
coming before the Council.
At to-night’s session of the Coun
cil women will record the vote cf
every Alderman on every question.
Women watchers will attend every
Council committee meeting and keep
complete records of the conduct of
Aldermen.
These records will be used against
Aldermen who have “played politics”
or otherwise failed in their duties, or
for those who have done well, as the
women watchers see them.
Alleged Rioters in
Jail at Statenville
VALDOSTA, July 21.—R. S. Wil
liams, of Haylow, who. with his two
sons and two other men, is charged
with inciting a near-riot at Howell,
has been arrested and lodged in Jail
at Statenville on an order issued by
Judge W. E. Thomas, of Superior
Court.
Williams and bis followers are said
to have gone to Howell with the
avowed intention of killing Ben Weth-
erington, Town Marshal. According to
reports received here, the trouble was
caused by an attempt of Marshal
Wetherington to arrest a son of the
elder Williams.

take no action at this time looking to
the indictment of James Conley, ac-
cus' of Leo M. Frank In the murder
of Mary Phagan.
The Grand Jury came to its de
cision after Solicitor General Dorsey
had presented a mass* of evidence to
show why the indictment of the negro
would hamper the prosecution of
Frank. After more than an hour's
conference the Siiicitor issued this
statement.
“I am requested by the Grand Jury
to say no action will be taken at this
time on the James Conley matter,
and that that body will not pay any
attention whatever to anonymous
communications.”
It Is known that the Grand Jury has
been flooded with letters on the Pha
gan case, many or them urging actl ir
on Conley, and many unsigned.
A recent Supreme Court decision
was cited by Solicitor Dorsey to the
Grand Jury when he demanded
“hands off” on the Ccnley indictment.
The decision says of the Solicitor;
“He is to determine whether or not
to commence a particular prosecution,
or to discontinue on© already begun.
The Solicitor General draws the bill
of Indictment and examines the wit
nesses, not with a view to the inter
est of any client, but alone to sub
serve public Justice.
“The whole prosecution from the
time the case is laid before him is
under his direction, supervision and
control.—102 Georgia, page 271.”
Delay in Trial Rumored.
The impression gained ground Mon
day that a postponement of the trial
of Frank was probable. It was re
ported that the defense would make
a move to effect this before the case
comes up on June 28.
According to Solicitor Dorsey.
Judge L. S. Roan, who will try the
case, is not particularly anxious that
it come up at this time.
Says Judge Favors Delay.
“I was talking with Judge Roan a
short time ago,” said the Solicitor,
“and from his conversation I yathered
