i THE GEORGIAN’S .NEWS BRIEFS. NEWS OF SUNDAY. ULY 27, 1913 a. REFORMS IN U. S. CURRENCY ARE SURE TO BE ENACTED WASHINGTON, July 27.—President Wilson has received further assur ances from leaders in Congress that his program of currency reform will receive favorable action ai this ses sion of Congress. These assurances have been made in the face of the sharp split amongst Democrats of the House Banking and Currency Com mittee, and in spite, also, of the de sire of many Democrats in the Sen- at to delay currency action until the December session. Rapid progress has been made on the tariff bill in the Senate and the President and his Congressional ad visers have been encouraged at the prospect of the passage of the tariff bill much earlier than had been ex pected. Republican Senators, defeat ed at every turn in their efforts to amend the bill, have given way on much of their proposed opposition, and the Democrats* propose to push the revision bill rapidly during the coming week. While the Democrats of the House Currency Committee have found it impossible to agree on the Glass- Owen currency bill, the House lead ers and President Wilson believe the measure can be whipped into shape in a Democratic caucus, if it is necessary to adopt that cour^. The President has been conferring with the so-call ed "insurgents,” one by one. and has secured their views and ascertained the strength of their opposition. It is believed the bill could be taken into a caucus with the backing of the President, Democratic Deader Under wood, Speaker Clark, Chairman Glass and could be perfected there and given the indorsement of the Demo cratic party. Further efforts will be made this* week to bring the House committee members together on the bill, but should the attempts fail, the Administration is prepared to push the currency measure into the House without delay. The tariff bill has gone through its early stages in the Senate with unexpected rapidity. Few members have attempted to make general tar iff speeches; and it is believed the debate will be meager during the next two or three weeks. The chemi cal schedule had been practically completed yesterday; and the earth enware tariff will be taken up to morrow. with Senator Stone in charge of the debate and amendments on the floor. Interest in the revision has flagged throughout the week, and indications point to less Republican opposition as the bill progresses. Senator LaFol- lette has not yet entered the debate. He has employed two experts for many weeks, in the preparation ot substitutes for many schedules of the Democratic tariff. When these are offered, the Wisconsin Senator is ex pected to lead a hard fight for their adoption, and Democratic leaders are looking forward to that phrase of the debate as most likely to cause delay. CLAYTON ROBSON IS GIVEN BIRTHDAY 'CUE OUTBREAK IN LISBON.

UNCLE SAM ORDERS MEXICO TO MAKE SPEEDY REDRESS WASHINGTON, July 27.—Strong representations, the most drastic in phraseology that have been ma 1e since the present American Adminis tration came into power, were made to the Huerta Government in Mexico to-day. The United States Government de manded not only the prompt arrest, courtmartial and punishment of the Mexican Federal soldiers who shot 'Charles B. Dixon, an American im migration official at Juarez, Mexico, but the immediate release of Charles Bissell and Bernard McDonald, min ing managers, imprisoned by Federal soldiers at Chihuahua City, and said to be threatened with execution. So serious were these incidents re garded in official circles that they overshadowed largely the theoretical considerations of policy which the visit of Ambassador Henry Lane Wil son has brought to a climax. The Ambassador himself was so ex ercised over the developments in Mexico that he dictated two strong telegrams, one to the Embassy at Mexico City and the other to the American Consul at Juarez, and while Secretary Bryan slightly modified their tone, they were approved and promptly dispatched. Ambassador Wilson declined to dis cuss the affair, but he will probably explain his views on such happenings when he meets President Wilson for a general examination of conditions in Mexico. Dixon Is Released. EL PASO, TEX.. July 27.—Charles B. Dixon. Jr., the United States immi gration inspector, who was shot in Juarez Saturday by Mexican soldiers, was released from the Juarez hospital and brought to El Paso to-day. after American Consul T. D. Edwards had made a demand for his release and for the arrest of the men who shot him. Mexican Consul Miranda and Guil lermo Porras. former Secretary of State of Chihuahua, also interceded for the release of Dixon, after con ference with the United States of ficials. who represented to the Mexi cans the grave impression that had been produced in Washington by the new s of the shooting of the inspector. The demand of Consul Edwards was in vigorous language. He told the Mexican authorities that Dixon must be delivered up to his friends and permitted to be brought to El Paso without delay. CLAYTON ROBSON. DESERTED, SHOOTS SELF. KANSAS CITY, MO.. July 27.— Douglas G.

She declined to discuss her hus r band’s statements that his fathc*r was a member of British Parliament, and was worth $5,000,000. Joe Pottle, Solicitor General of the Ocmulgee Circuit, aided and abetted by sundry members of the Georgia Legislature and citizens of Atlanta, gave a barbecue at the Kimball House the other evening in -honor of Clayton Robson, who has just turned 35. The affair was a huge success. Also it was a complete surprise to the guest of honor because the whole thing was impromptu.

Robson is a traveling sales man and is known in every town in the State of Georgia. No session of the Legislature would be complete without his presence. CHINESE REBELS DEFEATED; U. S.
