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.

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.

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. The dragnet has been recast for the Strike on Healey Building Settled his mistake be not visited on Candler.

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. tween R. M.

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.

Forecast for Atlanta and Georgia: Local showers Monday and Tuesday. 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
