Anti-Huerta Faction Declines To
Be Party to Mediation in Which
Mexican President Is Factor.
Regard Ambassador as Partisan.
Upper Congressional Body Takes
Bit in Its Teeth and Will Inves
tigate Conditions for Itself as
Bryan Starts on Lecture Tour.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—The Ad
ministration policy of conciliation in
Mexico met with two rebuffs to-day.
First, General Carranza, the lead
er of the anti-Huerta factions in
Mexico, declines firmly to be a par
ty to any mediation plane in which
Huerta enters as a factor.
Second, the Senate has taken the
bit in its teeth and vrlill find out all
about the Mexican situation, as the
State Department has deolined, on
the advice of President Wilson, to
send to the Senate the official doc
uments on file there, which would
clarify the situation.
The Senate will summon before It
Mme. Madero, Alfonso Madero and
Colonel Eduardo Hay, the military
and diplomatic representative of the
Constitutionalist party in Mexico.
Neither the State Department nor
the White House has any answer to
make to-day or comment on the fail
ure of the conciliation policy.
And Bryan Plans Tour.
Secretary Bryan has no comment to
make to-day on stny of the phases of
the Mexican situation and on none of
the facts presented to him. He an
nounces his intention of going away
on a tour to-morrow.
Some of the officials at the State
Department took umbrage at the
statement that Bryan had asked Con
gress for $100,000 to provide for a
general heglra of American citizens
out of Mexico.
These officials, Secretary of Bryan
among them, adopted the peculiar
view that his act was only in line
with the policy of the Government
which U carried out In the sporadic
cases In which indigent or unfortu
nate stranded American citizens are
brought home from foreign countries.
The reports of the State Depart
ment to-day say that a large number
of revolutionists “conducting guerril
la warfare” are “infesting" Southern
Nuevo Leon and the north and east
of San Luis Potosl. The reports also
show that the Carranza forces are
about to attack the Federals at Mon
el ova.
Expect Decisive Battle.
This is to be the decisive battle,
according to the strategists of the
War Department. They say that if
the Federals are beaten at Monclova
they must retreat on Mexico City, and
that the revolutionists, by winning
that battle, have control of more than
one-half of Mexico.
Military men here say that Carran
za, holding such a strong position,
would not be likely to accepf anything
less than the removal of Huerta as
President of Mexico.
It was learned to-day that certain
Democratic leaders of the Senate have
determined to adopt the resolutions
introduced by Senator Fall, of New
Mexico. There is no disposition on the

Girl Eleven Years Old Sees Negro | Senate Committee Rejects Bryan
Enter House—Calls Father Proposal by Vote of 8 to 4.
and Runs for Police. Taft Treaty Liked.
Mary Elizabeth Wesley, 11 years
old, while peering out of the window
of her home, No. 672 Spring street,
Saturday night, saw two negro men
enter a side window of the residence
of B. H. Day next door. After she
had watched the men work their dif
ficult passage into the house, she ran
and told her father, Paul Wesley, a
contractor, what she had seen.
Wesley, securing a revolver, ran
out and up the front steps of the Day
residence. He met the negroes as thdy
were emerging from the door. One
carried a silver mesh bag in his hand
and both had bulging coat pockets.
At the shout of “hands up” from
Wesley, the negro farthest from him
vaulted the banister and escaped. The
other negro obeyed the command, the
revolver almost touching his breast.
Wesley, having captured one of his
quarry, was pondering over what to
do with him, when he heard a noise
on the steps at his back. He was
afraid to take his eyes off the negro
in front of him, and was also afrall
that the noise behind him might o»
the burglar's companion r'turning to
attack him. The noise up the steps
grew closer. Driven to desperation,
Wesley turned his head for a fleet
glance. He saw Mary coming up the
steps, unafraid.
“Shall I go get a p’liceman, papa?”
the child asked.
She had witnessed the entire Inci
dent.
Running to the comer, Mary found
an officer and informed him of what
had occurred. The negro was placed
under arrest. At the police station
he gave his name as Earle Sanford, 17
years old, living at 52 Parsons street.

part of the Senators to precipitate a
climax, but the majority are inclined
to believe that immediate action is
necessary to protect American lives
and property in the turbulent zone.
Senator Fall's resolution calls for
all information now in the hands of
the State Department concerning the
number of American lives lost, those
Imprisoned or injured and the amount
of American property damaged. It
also proclaims the right of protection
for all American citizens under the
United States Constitution and the
rules of international law.
Wilson Considered Partisan.
Ambassador Wilson's suggestions
have not met with favor either at the
White House or with a majority of
the Senators. Chairman Flood, of
the House Committee on Foreign Af
fairs. said the White House regarded
Ambassador Wilson as a bitter parti
san of Huerta and did not wish any
further exploitation of his view's con
cerning the Mexican usurper.
Want Bull Moose
In Washington Zoo
Followers of Roosevelt Petition
Curator to Buy Calf From
Duluth, Minn.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Although
the District of Columbia is under the
Federal Government and no resident
of Washington is entitled to the bal
lot, Bull Moose enthusiasts at the
Capital to-day set on foot agitation
to stock the Washington Zoo with a
living memento of their party. The
agitators have settled upon a bull
moose calf found roaming in the
streets of Duluth, Minn., recently as
the most easily obtained specimen of
his breed and hundreds of letters have
been received by the Zoo curator
asking th&t the animal be purchased
from the Duluth authorities.
All Atlanta Is Quick to Grasp Sig

Club” Emblem.
The booster button beauty contest
is nearing a climax. Nominations
stiii are coming in and the number
of votes that the mails bring are
larger than ever.
It is almost time to have the buttons
with the face of Atlanta’s prettiest
girl on them made and distributed
among the members of the “500,000
Booster Club.”
Atlantans have been quick to grasp
the significance of the wearing of
these buttons by the people who are
boosting the city’s population to 500,-
000 by 1920.
“Watch Atlanta—She’ll Get You
Yet—500,000 by 1920,” Is to be the slo
gan. Judging by the wonderful beau
ty of the leaders in this contest, the
picture on the buttons will be a mod
el of beauty.
Miss Mae Hall, charming daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Hall, has
been nominated by admiring friends,
and more than upholds the standard
of beauty set by earlier entrants.
There Ls still good time for nomina
tions. Send in the name and the
photograph of the girl you think the

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS

E. H. Jennings, district secretary
of the United States Civil Service
Commission, has Issued a statement
that applications for the first grade
examinations that are to be held

fice, In room No. 208 of the Federal
Building, by August 11.
The examinations will cover vacan

enue and Customs Services, and the
position of Deputy United StatesMar-

ficers. Application blanks and infor
mation may be obtained from Mr.
Jennings.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 — By a vot e
of 8 to 4, the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations rejected the propo
sition to establish a protectorate over
Nicaragua. The vote came on a mo
tion instructing Chairman Bacon to
notify the State Department it was
willing to accept the treaty without
the protectorate features and return
the convention for amendment.
Those who voted to return the
treaty were Senators Bacon, Shively,
Clarke (Arkansas), Williams, Swan
son, Pomerene, Smith (Arizona) and
Borah. Against returning the treaty:
Senators Stone, Hitchcock, Burton
and Smith (Michigan), William Al-
den Smith voted against returning
tiie treaty because he wanted it re
tained and killed outright.
Chairman Bacon was authorized to
notify Secretary Bryan that if the
Government thought it necessary to
acquire a naval base in Nicaragua
and have possession of Great and
Little Horn Islands, in the Caribbean
Sea, and the right to construct an
interoceanic canal in Nicaraguan
territory, paying in return for the
concession a lump sum of $2,000,000,
the committee would agree to such a
convention.* It had been Mr. Bryan’s
intention to come before the commit
tee to-day. But in committee and in
the cloakrooms Senators expressed
such determined opposition to the
plan of a protectorate that Chairman
Bacon in haste communicated the
defeat of the administration’s propo
sition to Mr. Bryan, and he did not I
appear.
It w'as given out that the com
mittee had a strong intimation from I
the White House that the treaty,
modified to meet the views of the
committee, would be agreed to by the I
administration. This will practical-
ly mean an indorsement of the treaty ,
as negotiated by the Taft administra- i
tion. which was roundly denounced in
debate by Democratic Senators.
The question of the application of
the Platt amendment to Central
American countries was not settled.
The majority of the committee held
that the rejection of the proposed
protectorate rendered any action on
the Platt amendment unnecessary.
One of the strongest arguments ad- 1
vanced against the administration’s i
proposed plan of dealing with Nica
raguan affairs was that it would es
tablish a dangerous precedent, one
that could not be adopted in the case
of Nicaragua and rejected in the case
of Mexico.
With a crash and a shower of
sparks which aroused the neighbor
hood, two telephone poles on Pied
mont avenue, near Fourteenth street,
gave way last night and fell across
the trolley wires.
A negro driving an automobile was
caught between the two falling poles,
which were on the same side of the
avenue, ana forced him to drive his
car out into Piedmont Park to es
cape from the debris.
When the poles struck the trolley
w’lre. a loud explosion occurred, fol
lowed by a brilliant flash of electric
ity. The wires broke and fell to the
ground, disabling street car service
for some time. A heavy cable which
had recently been strung between the
two poles Is said to have caused the
collapse.

DANGER IN EATING MEAT

AS WORKDAY FOR HORSE
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 2.—An ordi-

a horse may be worked at ten hours
•a day will be introduced in the City
Council here Monday night. The or
dinance was framed by the Kansas
City Humane Society.
Statistics Show That People
Who Eat Meat Are Suscep
tible to Typhoid Fever.
The death rate of Typhoid has been
10 per rent for many years. Even if
the patient recovers, there Is danger—
weakened constitution, languidness, loss
of energy, and other after effects.
In a majority of cases typhoid fever
is directly traceable to an inactive liver
which has left masses of meat particles
undigested In The alimentary canal. This
mass putrefies and sends out death deal
ing poisons, to result in typhoid fever.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT !s the greatest
known liver stimulant. Its action is gen
tle. yet effective. It draws water to the
alimentary tract, flushes stomach ana
bowels, washes away the undigested
meat particles and removes the danger
of fermentation. The blood Is purified
through the renewed activity of the
liver.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT does not cause
nausea and vomiting; no dangerous aft
er-effects as with calomel. Don’t take
an inferior substitute; many imitate
the name but cannot produce the same
natural, flushing action of the genuine
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT. Af all drug
