American Envoy at Juarez Charged
With Neglecting to Protect
His Countrymen.
WASHINGTON, July 28—The re-
moval from office of Thomas Ed
wards. the American Consul at Jua
rez, Mex., was requested of the State
Department to-day by Representative
Smith, of Texas, who charges that
Edwards has been negligent in re
lieving American refugees at Madera.
Representative Smith acted on com
plaint of his constituents in the El
t Paso district.
The Congressman also urged Secre
tary Bryan to stop the shipments of
arms and ammunition from this coun
try to the Huerta administration.
“I informed the Secretary of State,”
said Representative Smith, “that so
long.as we do not recognize the Huer
ta Government we should not favor
‘ it by allowing it to secure arms from
this country. We deny that they have
a constitutional government and yet
they are allowed to get arms and am
munition. We ought to allow' both
factions to have war supplies or we
ought to give the privilege to neither
of them.”
Smith says Bryan did not indicate
w hat action would be taken regarding
his complaints.
Smith received telegrams to-day
from his constituents saying that 35
Americans are in peril at Madera
among them a number of women and
children.
JAMIS B.NEVIH
U. S. to Hunt Down
Dixon’s Assailant.
WASHINGTON, July 28.—“Ambas-
sador Wilson—2:30 o’clock.”
This simple announcement, placed
at the bottom of President Wilson’s
official list of callers to-day, was the
only indication at the White House
that the most momentous conference
at the White House scheduled since
President Roosevelt maneuvered the
Russian-Japanese peace conclave
was due to take place.
For the past 36 hours the Presi
dent has had before him the lengthy
report dictated by Ambassador Wil
son detailing all the events of im
portance which have happened in
Mexico from the time the Diaz re
gime first began to topple down to
the attempted murder of Charles B.
Dixon, the American immigration of
ficial, at Juarez on Saturday.
Bryan Studies Report.
Secretary Bryan, the first caller at
the White House to-day, was closet
ed with the President for more than
an hour, while he discussed the de
tails of the Wilson report.
In discussing the Mexican situation
with the newspaper cabinet to-day
the President authorized the state
ment that nothing has happened
within the past ten days to make
matters better or worse.
The President further said that, as
he has not yet conferred with Am
bassador Wilson, he can not an
nounce any future policy with re
spect to President Huerta or Mex
ico for the reason that he has not
decided upon one.
To Hunt Dixon’s Assailant.
The President begged to he excused
from making any comment upon the
attempted assassination of Charles B.
Dixon, the American immigration of
ficial. who was shot at Juarez on
Saturday becausp. he said, he did not
have all the facts in the case before
him as yet.
The President assured the corre
spondents, however, that he has or
dered a rigid investigation of the
matter and that the State Depart
ment will do everything possible to
hunt down the guilty parties.
Mexican Consul Says
Negroes Shot Dixon.
EE PASO, TEX.. July 28.—Blame
for the shooting of United States Im
migration Inspector Charles B. Dixon
was laid upon a Mexican negro lieu
tenant named Sainz, of General Sal
azar’s army, and two American ne
groes, in a statement issued to-day
by Mexican Consul Miranda.
According to Consul Miranda’s ver
sion of the shooting, the two Ameri
can negroes planned the attack upon
Dixon on account of his activity in
investigatig a “white slave” case and
drew the Mexican negro into the
scheme to do the shooting.
Federal investigators have reported
to the Mexican Consul here £hat Dix
on was seized by Salazar’s soldiers
without any orders.
Dixon was released without bond
and brought to K1 Paso yesterday. He
was pronounced out of danger by Dr.
.1. W. Tappan. immigration service
surgeon.
The two American negroes who
were arrested as plotters against Dix
on were Arthur Walker and Harry
Bell. They have beefi irregular sol
diers in Salazar's command. Bell was
said to have escaped into Mexico
while awaiting trial on a charge of
“white slavery.” Walekr is also want
ed on the same charge in the United
States.
There seems to be little, if anv,
doubt that the Legislature is to hurry
along the general tax act, just as it
has hurried along the general appro
priations bill.
There are, counting to-day, exact
ly fourteen working days left to the
Legislature's credit. This does not
include two Saturdays and two Sun
days, however.
It, therefore, may De se^n that the
Legislature can, if it will, place both
the appropriations bill and the tax
acts—the general tax act, at least —
in the hands of the Executive ten
days ahead of adjournment, as he has
requested.
If this is done—and it likely will
be done—the present Legislature will
have accomplished a record of speed
never before equaled in the history of
the State.
Dpspite all the complaining and
criticism to the contrary, the present
Legislature has been the most prompt,
within the memory of any Georgian,
in the matter of passing the two
vitally big and necessary measures of
the session—the general appropria
tions bill and the general tax act.
Credit must be awarded the com
mittee heads, the committees and the
Speaker for this remarkable achieve
ment, and President Anderson has
given his assurance that the prompt
ness of the House shall be duplicated
in the Senate this week and next.
Taken altogether, the record of the
Legislature as made up for this ses
sion is all right and a credit.
It is, indeed, far better than usual.
Mr. Shuptrine, of Chatham is very
much opposed to the measure permit
ting the addition of a kindergarten
system to the public schools of the
State.
Mr. Shuptrine does not believe the
Constitution of tDe State contem
plates anything of the kind, and,
moreover, he thinks it would be hut
the first step in the direction of great
ly expanding the school fund, already
smaller than the necessities of the
State seem to warrant.
"If we permit this innovation, no;
warranted in the fundamental law’ at
all. we shall have application made
within the life of the present Legis-
ature, perhaps, for more funds *o
mpet the kindergarten requirements,”
said Mr. Shuptrin to-day.
“I know’ that it is proposed to add
this feature to the school system
without additional appropriations to
cover it. hut that is merely a sop to
get the bill on the statute books. Once
we inaugurate this system, we shall
have to take care of ft. and it will Be
argued thgt funds as now appropri-
ated are not sufficient to handle the
new department.
“Georgia already Is dealing most
generously wdth her schools—she 1m
straining the limit to take care of
them—and I am not complaining so
much about that. But I do think it
would be a sad mistake to add any
further burdens to her budget—and
certainly along the line of providing
public education to tots from 4 to 6
years of age.”
Senator M. C. Tarver has aban
doned for the present his effort to
get the Representatives and Senators
of the various counties affected, in
terested in the proposed Chickamau-
ga judicial circuit.
“The bill could rot be passed at this
session,” said Mr. Tarver, “for sev
eral of the Representatives of the
counties proposed for the new cir
cuit are opposed to any change of the
present arrangement. Others, w’hile
desiring a change, couldn’t get to
gether on an arrangement of counties
that was mutually satisfactory.”
Mr. Searcey's bill to make the
buyer and the seller equally guilty in
"blind tiger” cases, was killed In the
Senate, upon the theory that It af
fords the “blind tiger” exactly the
protection he desires, rather than re
tards him in the operation of his
business.
“The one thing a ‘blind tiger’
dread? above all other things,” said
a Senator, discussing the bill. “Is
that among his numerous customers
may be one who will tell.
“This bill removes that dread, for
anybody w’ho reported a ‘tiger’ under
this measure would become a crimi
nal himself. Besides, because of the
law which excuses a man from In
criminating himself in testifying, this
man would become immediately in
competent as a witness.
“It is hard enough now to convict
‘blind tigers’, and it w’ould he a thou
sand times harder under this law.
“Prohibitionists who seek to go the
limits this bill proposes are to he
commended for their zeal, perhaps,
but surely not for their common
sense. This bill is sound enough in
theory, if you view it from a certain
angle, but it falls to pieces as a prac
tical measure and would defeat the
very object its author had in mind
when he- framed It.”
The Senate defeated the measure
by a vote of 18 to 22, w’hich was not
such wide margin of defeat, after
all.
Resolution Providing for Its Re
consideration Adopted—White
washing of Soule Opposed.
The adoption of a resolution calling
for the reconsideration of the Searcy
prohibition bill, making the selling of
liquor purchased from a "blind tig^r”
a misdemeanor, which was defeated in
the Georgia Senate Friday, feature!
the session Monday. The bill prob
ably will come up again this week un
der special order rule. A hot fight is
expected.
Senators Foster and Hixon offered a
resolution “whitewashing” the charges
against President A. M. Soule, of the
State Agricultural College. It sets
forth that President Soule has ren
dered valuable service which should
be recognized by the withdrawal of
the charges, now pending In the
House. The resolution will be con
sidered Tuesday.
That a bitter contest will take place
when it is presented for adoption was
indicated Monday by Senator Mc
Gregor. w’ho declared he would fight
the measure to the last ditch, on the
grounds that it is a "complete ‘white
wash’ without any sort of investiga
tion.”
The most important new bill intro
duced in the Senate Monday was that
by Senator McGregor, limiting the
power of the Governor in calling out
troops in cane of disorder. The bill
aims to take the State militia out of
the so-called police jurisdiction, and
requires affidavits by civil authorities
before the Governor may call out
troops.
Senator Tarver’s bill providing for
the appointment of a State commis
sion to investigate conditions as re
gards drug users, with a view to estab
lishing a State sanitarium for them,
was passed by the Senate.
Senator Bush’s bill- making the
State Superintendent of Education an
ex-officio member of the eleven agri
cultural schools of the State was lost
after President Randolph Anderson
made a fight on the measure.
Senator McNeil’s bill providing for
a new Great Seal of State, changing
the date 1799 to 1776, commemorating
the Declaration of Independence, was
sent back to the committee.

———
NEW YORK, July 28 —That Clar
ence H. Mackay, to keep up the pace
of a millionaire’s son. borrowed heav
ily in Wall Street and failed to pay
hack after he had inherited $40,000,-
000 from the estate of his father, is
charged in a suit brought by W. L.
Stow, a broker, for an accounting of
more than $2,000,000.
The plaintiff was at the head of the

TALKING TO WIFE
W. M. Sexton, No. 18 Gaskill street,
Monday morning remarked to Re
corder Broyles that he had "cautioned
this guy about talking to his wife,” :n
explaining why he attacked W. L.
Patterson, of No. 57 Poweil street,
Sunday night at the close of services
in St. Duke’s Methodist Church 'n
Powel] street.
Patterson told the court that Sexton
is "insanely jealous.”
Sexton, who is separated from his
wife, attacked Patterson a short dis
tance from the church after he had
seen him talking to Mrs. Sexton In
side of the church. Patterson said
Mrs. Sexton called to him after the
congregation had been dismissed, and
that he meant no harm by conversing
with her. He said Sexton lay in wait
for him in a dark spot in Powell
street and assailed him with metal
knucks. Sexton denied this.
The two men were pummeling one
another vigorously when interrupted
by Detective Coker and Policeman
Boggus, who were on their way home
from the church service. Metal
knucks were found on the ground.
Patterson displayed an abrasion >n
his head, which he said was made by
the knucks.
When Sexton told Judge Broyles he
had warned his wife not to talk to
other men, the Recorder informed him
that as he was senarated from his
wife he had no right ti> heat up every
person he saw talking to her.”
The jealous husband was fined
$25.75 and the case of Patterson was
dismissed.

WASHINGTON, July 28.—Despite
President Wilson’s attitude in dis

House with costly gifts.
The marriage of a President's son

sage to the General Assembly Mon

Governor Slaton submits figures of
the State Comptroller showing that
fifteen counties suffered a loss of
$130,015 in tax returns to date.
The Governor also calls attention
to the present inadequacy of the
election and appointment of United
States Senators and calls for legisla
tion along this line.
Under the present law, the Gov
ernor points out. the executive has no
power of appointment in the case of
the death of a Senator. The State
may also be without a Senator from
March, the time of expiration of th<-
term, until June, when the Legisla
ture convenes.
Governor S’.aton therefore has rec
ommended that the Secretary of State
he empowered to canvass the vote for
United States Senator immediately
following the election. The Governor
has corresponded with Senator Hoke
Smith and Senator Bacon in regard
to this.
A further recommendation by the
Governor calls attention to an appro

quantity and get the petticoat to sell at 49c.
Made of firm white cambric, smooth and uniform. Well
made with felled seams. Smooth, close fitting lines. In the new
narrow styles. Button plackets on side. Smart and simple; un
trimmed save for the scalloped embroidered bottom.

r A Vastly Different Kind ^
of Furniture Sale
—Stores that hold Furniture Sales every thirty or
sixty days must do one of two things:
1st—Stock inferior furniture for sale purposes, or,
2nd—Purposely mark up first prices in order to
mark them down later for a sale.
—Rich’s holds only two furniture sales a year—in
February and in August. The furniture offered is
from regular stock; the prices are reduced from our
regular prices—already as low and as fair as you will
find anywhere.
—Now you know why Rich’s August Furniture Sale
is worth waiting for. Sale starts Friday.
