TALK OF POSTPONING FRANK TRIAL TILL FALL
MORE BLONDES THAN BRUNETTES
ENTER SLOGAN BEAUTY CONTEST
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, July 21.—In one of the
fiercest riots which has marked the
suffragette propaganda in Great
Britain, Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst,
leader of the militants was arrested
to-day with six of her followers.
The fight with the detectives came
when the officers tried to arrest Mrs.
Pankhurst as she was entering the
Pavilion Music Hall, where her
daughter Sylvia and other prominent
suffragettes were holding a meeting.
Mrs. Pankhurst was seized after a
violent struggle, and when the fren
zied women saw their leader in the
hands of the officers they charged
upon them, using hatpins and all
sorts of weapons to wrest their lead
er away.
The officers held their prisoner and
resisted the attacks of the women.
Six other women who were the ring
leaders in the attack on the officers
also were taken into custody.
Mrs. l’ankhurst was taken to Hol
loway jail.
She escaped from the detectives
yesterday by having a fellow militant
leave her house deeply veiled. The
detectives believed the veiled woman
was the militant leader and only after
they had forced her into a taxicab
did they learn their mistake.

U. S. Will Refuse to Recognize Huerta
Will Not Last Year Out, President
Says—Stronger Successor
Is Hoped For.
T N
tit e
WASHINGTON, July 21.—The
United States does not intend to rec
ognize the Huerta Government In
Mexico, because that administration
is reported to be tottering to its ruin
aijd 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 United
States will reserve its approbation fur
another and stronger regime, which,
it is hoped, will succeed the Iiuer'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.

Hardeman Scores Lobby.
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 Mr. 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.

Soldiers of Second
At St, Simons Camp
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, July 21.—Sun
day was a gala day for the Second
Georgia Regiment, excursions bringing
wives, sweethearts and friends of the
men and officers from all over
Middle Georgia. All day the camp was
alive with visitors interested in seeing
how the men lived. Many dinner par
ties were given in camp during the
day. The surf was the chief attraction
until the big dress parade in the after
noon. It was the best review so far
held and was wltnesesd by magnificent
crowds.
Drills tire being held In combat forma
tions to-day leading up to the hike,
bivouac and battle of Friday. The men
will leave Thursday in heavy marching
order prepared to cook their own meals,
sleep In pup tents and begin the big
battle before day Friday.
To-day’s officer of the day was E. W.
Beck. The officer of the guard was
J. H. Nutt. Both are of Griffin.
but steadfastly declares his wife
not concerned in any of them.
As a girl Mrs. Newton w'as a mem
ber of one of Mobile s most exclusive
society sets.
Miss Luetta L. Porter, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Hart Porter, of
No. 282 Crumley street, is the newest
nominee in the “beauty button" con
test. She is of the blonde type with
golden brown hair and gray eyes.
An unusual commentary on the
beauty content is that more blondes
than brunettes have been nominated.
But the contest is not closed yet, and
what the final result will be no one
can tell. Also the brunettes w’ho have
been nominated are keeping well up
.with the blondes in votes.
A letter has come to the contest
editor stating that photographs Hat
ter some types of beauty while they
do not do others justice.
That is true, but it depends on the
particular photograph. That all the
photographs far published have
made a good impression is show n by
other letters of nomination, in which
the writers state they are reluctant
to enter their candidates after seeing
so many pretty faces entered in the
race.
Well, every one to his own taste.
All readers of The Georgian and
American still have the privilege of
nominating and voting for whom they
please. The votes will decide what
girlV picture is to adorn the "500,000
Club' booster buttons.
Nominate your candidate and send
in her photograph. Then get your
friends to vote for her.

United States battleship or a gunboat
will be sent to Frontera, Mexico, in
response to a request from the United

attack the port. The Navy Depart
ment will send one of the warships

SCULLER DEFENDS TITLE.
Special Cable to The Georgian.
LONDON, July 21.—E. Barry, the
English sculler, to-day defended his
title as world’s champion by defeat
ing Harry Pearce, the Australian, in a
four-uarter mile race on the Thames.
the House that he had made his mo
tion in entire good faith, and if he
had made a mistake, he wished that
his mistake be not visited on Candler.
If he had hurt anybody’s feeling or
said anything he oueH* not to ha/e
said, the gentleman from Muscogee
begged everybody’s pardon.
Dove of Peace Scared.
This apparently paved the way for
a peaceful vote, but It soon became,
plain that a peaceful vote was not in
sieht. .
Mr. Hardman vehemently protested
reconsideration, and In doing so
charged that the House was dis
gracefully far behind in its business,
and that too much time already had
been wasted 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 Made 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. Hardeman to name any
Legislature within the knowledge of
either man, both of whom are vet
erans of the House, wherein any bill
of general importance, particularly
the appropriations bill and the tax
act, was reported within the 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.
Four Women Caught

T
Presents Evidence Showing In
dictment of Negro Would Hin
der Frank Prosecution.
Here are the important de
velopments of Monday in the
Phagan ease:
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 reoper
Its investigation of the Phagan mur
der mystery was a decided victory foi
the Solicitor after that body had over-
ridden his request that no session b«
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 cas€
be put off until fall, gave rise to th«
expectation that another postpone
ment will take place, and that th«
date probably will be set for sonu
week in September.
Defense Said To Be Willing.
The defense also is said to be it
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.
The Grand Jury Monday decided to
take no action at this time looking to
the indictment of James Conley, ac
cuser 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 mast* of evidence to
show why the Indictment of the negro
would hamper the prosecution of
Frank. After more than an hours
conference the Silicitor 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
