S, Representative Must Bear Rec ognition of New Regime. MEXICO CITY, Aug. 7.-John Lind, now on his way to Mexico City as special representative of the United States, will not be re ceived by President Huerta un less he presents credentials from the President of the United States, accompanied by recogni tion of the present government of Mexico. Official announcement of this was made to-day by President Huerta. The statement was de livered to Charge O’Shaughnes- sy at the American Embassy by Manuel Garza Aldape, Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mexico. It was also sent to Washington and to the powers of Europe. Lind, Huerta’s announcement said, will be expelled from the country as an undesirable alien unless he goes before the Mexican government and explains his official character and in tentions or else brings official recog nition of the Huerta administration from the Wilson Administration in Washington. This is the boldest and most bellig erent course yet taken by Huerta, and if the Mexican President carries out his threat Mexico will have accom plished what, in the eyes of interna tional usuage, usually constitutes a casus belli. In accord tvith the new aggressive policy of the Mexican government a delegation will wait upon Mr. Lind upon his arrival in this city, prob ably Saturday, and the attitude of the Mexican government toward the United States will be outlined then in unmistakable terms. The United States battleship carrying Mr. Lind is expected at Vera Cruz to-morrow night. Must Bear Credentials. The following official statement was issued to the press to-day by Senor Aldape: The Mexican Department of Foreign Affairs has sent a note to Nelson O’Shaughnessy, charge d'affairs of the United States, stating by order of the President that, if Mr. John Lind, who, the Mexican government is informed, is to come to Mexico intrusted with a mission from President Wilson, does not establish in due manner his official character- be fore the Mexican chancellery, or if he is not the bearer of recogni tion of the Mexican government by that of the United States, his sojourn in this Republic will not be grateful not satisfactory to this government. This was the first time that Huerti formally recognized Mr. Lind as an Ambassador from the United States President. To some extent the action of Huerta has the approval of some of the Americans here because it establish, s plainly the position of the Mexican Government. Otherwise the suspense attending the coming of Mr. Lind and 'the consequences which may follow would only be prolonged. In addition to coming as a special Continued on Page 6, Column 2. AT TORONTO.

Entries on Page 11. LATEST NEWS Deaf to the appeals of the country schoolteachers of the State, who have not been paid one cent for more than six months, the Georgia House of Representatives on Thursday morn ing overwhelmingly defeated a con stitutional amendment submitting to the voters of the State a proposition for a special tax levy of 1 mill in 1915 and 1-2 mill in 1916. The revenue derived from both levies was to be added to the common school fund, and would, advocates of the bill claim, have relieved condi tions that exist at present undei which the State has permitted its schoolteachers to go unpaid. The vote was: Ayes, 70; nays, 99. It lacked 53 votes of receiving the requisite two-thirds majority. Called Slap at Slaton. Besides being a denial of the re quest of the schoolteachers that they be paid what is due them, the action of the House in defeating the con stitutional amendment is construed as a direct slap at Governor Slaton, in asmuch as the additional tax levy is advocated in his platform, and he has made a special request that the bill be passed, allowing the people to de cide whether the teachers shall be paid. The House by its action put itself or. record as being opposed to any measure that will provide for the pay ment of the teachers. The defeat of the Governor's con stitutional amendment Thursday was accomplished by the same combine that defeated his two bills Wednes day afternoon and which has declared it will fight to the bitter end all ef forts to pass measures favored by Speaker Burwell and jhe Governor. Hardeman Leads Foes. The fight against the bill was led by Hardeman, of Jefferson, who de clared he was opposed to it because it raised the limit of taxation. Among those who spoke in favor of the bill were Fullbright, of Burke County; Gower, of Crisp; Wall, of Elbert; Me- Michael, of Marion; Wimberly, of Bibb, and Wheatley, of Sumter. Prior to the defeat of his constitu tional amendment hill Governor Sla ton secured the enactment of the first of his measures that the Legislature has seen fit to pass. It was the in heritance tax bill, providing for tax ation of legacies ranging from 1 per cent on $5,000 to 6 per cent on $1,000,- 00/. The vote was 135 to 13. An amendment proposd by Greene, of Houston, that all inheritances of whatever amount be taxed was lost. The House also passed a resolu tion authorizing the Governor to bor row any amount up to $500,000 nec essary to supnly the deficit in the State’s revenues. The vote was 113 to 0. WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—The National Council for Industrial Defense, representing millions of dollars in capital and an aggre gate power of employment affect ing thousands of men, was or ganized to oppose class legisla- lation in all Legislatures and in Congress, according to records produced to-day by James Emery before the Overman Lobby Inves tigating Committee.

Senator Vardanian Advocates Lynching Of Negro Assailants WASHINGTON, Aug. 7—Lynch ing for negroes who commit crimes upon women was unreservedly advo cated last night by Senator Varda- man, of Mississippi. In a speech be fore an audience composed for the most part of women Senator Vardaman said that no person with a spark of manhood would want to see a woman who had been the victim of siic-h an attack dragged through the horrors of a court trial. Speaking of race segregation in street cars, the Senator declared it his belief that many of the crimes of the negroes have their inception as the result of some negro sitting next to a white woman in a street car. He said that if there is objec tion to segregating the negroes, then he is in favor of segregating the white people and making It a misde meanor for negroes to infringe on their rights.

The attorneys for Leo Frank sprang a surprise Thursday aft ernoon by recalling Detective Harry Scott, of the Pinkertons, to the stand and getting from him that it required Jim Conley six or seven minuets to write one note dictated to him from the shorter note found by Mary Phagan’s body, when Conley had declared pos itively on the stand that he wrote four in Frank’s office within a minute and a half or two minutes. This will prove one of the strongest foundations for the con tention of the defense that it was a physical impossibility for all to have taken place which the negro described between four min utes of 1 o’clock and the time that Frijnk left for his luncheon at home. Frank is said to have arrived home at or before 1:30. By Conley’s own statement he was imprisoned in a closet in Frank’s office eight or ten minutes. He said it required four or five minutes to dispose of the girl’s body. Additional time, accord ing to the negro, was consumed by Frank washing his hands, and in conversation about Frank’s wealthy folks in Brooklyn, Conley s watch and other topics. Time Point Made by Defense. If it required Conley six minutes to write a short note, as Scott testified Thursday afternoon, it is the claim of the defense that it would have taken at least 15 to 25 minutes to write the four. With the disposal of the body and the other things that the negro said were done at that time the defense proposes to show that it would nave required close to three-quarters of an hour. But before this time Frank was at home eating luncheon. Scott, while on the stand, described the "third degrees” that were given Conley in getting from him his affidavits. Solicitor Dorsey gave Dr. Childs a vigorous cross-examina tion and brought out that Childs was a general practitioner and not a specialist. He sought to minimize the value of the witness’ testimony on this account. The Solicitor, prompted by Dr. R. T. Dorsey, his brother, soon involved Dr. Childs in a maze of technical questions which the physician was unable to answer. Dr. Childs took refuge in the retort that the queries should be answered by a laboratory man. He continued to assert, however, that Dr. Harris was venturing only a wild guess when he said that Mary Phagan came to her death within half or three-quarters of an hour of the time she ate her dinner. As Dr. Harris left the stand at 12 o’clock Solicitor Dorsey announced that the State rested. Dr. L. W. Childs, a physician and surgeon, immediately was called by the defense. Cabbage No Key to Time of Death. His first testimony of importance, if it was believed by the jury, served utterly to demolish the most sensational declaration of Dr. Harris, who startled liis hearers last Friday by announcing with every appearance of certainty that Mary Phagan came to her death probably within 30 minutes of the time she ate her dinner April 26, positively within 45 minutes. Dr. Harris stated that he knew, because the cabbage he found in the girl’s stomach hardly had been affected by the digestive juices. Attorney Arnold showed Dr. Childs the specimen of cabbage from the Phagan girl’s stomach. The medical expert examined it and said: ‘‘I have seen cabbage less changed by the digestive juices than that which had been in a person’s stomach for 12 hours.” Dr. Childs continued his re buttal of testimony of Dr. Har ris by saying that it was impos sible to tell within hours how long any of the carbo-hydrates, of which cabbage is one, have been in the human stomach. The digestive process on carbo hydrates, he declared, are practically nil while this class of foods is in the stomach. Cabbage, for example, may remain in the stomach for hours with little change from the digestive juices. The digestion, for the most part, occurs after the cabbage has passed into the small intestines, the physician said. Dr. Harris’ estimate, he declared, was only a guess. He characterised In the same man ner Dr. Harris' declaration that the blow Mary Phagan received on the back of the head caused unconscious ness. Arnold propounded to his witness a hypothetical question based on the circumstances under which Mary Phagan’s body was exhumed and ex amined nine days after burial. "If, under these circumstances,” said Arnold, "there was found *i wound on the back of her head which one physician said was 1 1-2 inches long and another said was 2 1-4 inches, and there was found no frac ture of the skull or injury to the brain, would any physician be justi fied in saying that the person re ceiving the blow was rendered un conscious?” “He would have had to guess one way or the other,” said Dr. Childs. “There was absolutely no way t tell whether the blow caused uncon sciousness.” Arnold also brought the startling testimony that a wound made from one to three hours after death has the same appearance as a wound shortly before death. This statement was in direct con tradiction of Dr. Harris’s testimonv and will be used by the defense «n strengthening is theory of the man ner in which the factory girl came to her death. Alter he had reviewed sojjfce of the
