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 with 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, It 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 Huerta 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 establishes 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 2.

NOTED IS RILLED ‘Drys,’ Reported Allied With Tax Reform Foes to Defeat Govern or’s Bills, Hold Whip Hand. The “dry” members of the House of Representatives and those mem bers who oppose the enactment of tax reform measures have formed a combine to defeat all bills Introduced or favored by Speaker Burwell, be cause the Speaker ruled that the res olution of Mr. Kidd, of Baker, order ing the Temperance Committee to report the Hixon-Searcy (Webb) bill back to the House was out of order Wednesday morning, after Wohlwen- der. of Muscogee, had held up the business of the House for an entire day with a filibuster. The formation of the combine is virtually a defiance of Governor John M. Slaton and a refusal to accede to his wishes that tax reform measures and bills putting the taxation sys tem of the State on h business baaie be passed. It is a dare to the Gov ernor to veto the House appropriation bill or call an extra session, both of which the Governor has said he will do if the Hou-«e does not enact tax reform measures or keep its appro priations within the estimated reve nues of the State. Plan to Resurrect Bill. In addition to trying to defeat the bills of Speaker Burwell and Governor Slaton, the combine will make every effort possible to resurrect the Hixon- Searcy Senate bill from the pigeon hole to which it has been consigned by th^ Temperance Committee. Mr. Kidd, the apparent author of the res olution which met such an inglorious finish Wednepday morning, declared that he will try to introduce hi® res olution at the first opportunity. “We Intend to try in every way possible to get the bill out of the oommittoe and before the House at this session," said Mr. Kidd. “I in tend to offer my resolution again, and if I can not do that we will try to find some other means of combating the enemies >f the bill. We were not treated right by the Speaker when he ruled my resolution out of order. We are prepared to fight for our rights, and if the bill can not come up for the consideration of this House there are a lot of other measures that will receive scant consideration at the hands of the friends of the measure. Organized Fight on Burwell. "We Intend to defeat every meas ure offered or favored by Speaker Burwell or the men who aided in the defeat of the resolution ordering the Temperance Committee to report back the Hixon-Searcy bill. Burwell’s bills have no chance of passing this House during the present session. I have nothing personally against any of the Speaker’s bills, but we are going to get even for the treatment we got during the consideration of my resolution and for not being giv en a chance to pass, or at least at tempt to pass, the Webb bill that passed the Senate." The combination of the “dry" forces and those opposed to tax re vision was formed the day before the introduction of Mr. Kidd's resolution. Mr. Wohlwender, who started and carried through a Buceetwful filibus ter. declared Wednesday that the res. olution was drawn up by Barr.v Wright, of Floyd County, one of the prohibition leaders. It was the re sult of a combination formed at that time between Mr. Wright and other temperance leaders and Messrs. Sto- vall, of Elbert; Sheppard, of Sum ter, and other members who have consistently opposed tax reform measures. Unite Against Tax Reform. It was agreed, it is generally under stood, that the enemies of tax reform were to support the Kidd resolution on condition that the prohibition members aid them in their efforts to Continued on Page 2. Column &. Plunges One Thousand Feet to Death With Passenger in Test Flight in England. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. ALDERSHOT, ENG., Aug. 7.—Col onel Samuel F. Cody, a former citi zen of the United States and one of the most famous aviators in the world, and a passenger were killed here to-day while testing a new aero plane over the military aerodrome. These two fatalities bring the avia tion death list up to 305. Colonel Cody w'as one of the pio neer airmen and was commissioned by the British Government to build up the aviation corps of the Imperial army, which he fulfilled to the per fect satisfaction of the War Office. Cody was a relative of William F. (Buffalo Bill) Cody, and in appear ance he resembled the famous Ameri can. Protested Taking Passenger. The name of the passenger who was killed with Colonel Cody was Evans. The aviator protest®(i against any one accompanying him, saying that he was going to try out a new machine and the risk would be great. Evans was insistent and Anally Cody relented. After a “grass-cutting” circuit Cody shot the machine upward and soon the car was 1,000 feet in the air. Spectators on the field saw the ma chine begin to wabble as though one of the planes had buckled. Suddenly it turned over on its side and plunged downward. With a crash the ma chine struck the earth and the petrol tank burst, scattering the fuel over the bodies of the two men. Cody and Evans were picked up and rushed to a hospital in the can- tonments. but the spark of life al ready hud Deen extinguished. How He Got His Title. The manner in which Cody got his title of “Colonel” is interesting. Shortly after King George ascended the throne he wrote a note of con* gratulation to Cody for some air feats he had performed and called him “Colonel” Cody, evidently confusing him with “Buffalo Bill.” The avia tor seized the opportunity to acquire A title and since had styled himself Colonel Cody. Last August Cody won the British army flying tests, taking $25,000 in prizes. Before taking up aviation Cody was an aeronaut of note and once made a balloon flight over London. He planned a trip to India in an aeroplane-balloon of his own inven tion, but his death cuts off all plans for the future. Cody is survived by a widow, who, like her husband, has always been fond of excitement and adventure. She was the first woman in England to make a flight in an aeroplane and is herself an accom plished air car driver. Colonel Cody came to England from the United States about ten years ago and became a naturalized British subject. The ill-fated machine was of Cody's own construction and he had intended to attempt a flight across the At lantic ocean in it. Two sons of the dead aviator wit nessed the tragedy. One of them rushed forward and threw himself on his father’s body. Medical examination showed that Cody’s neck had been broken while one arm and several rib® were frac tured. One rib had punctured the lung. Man’s Plea in Court Is Heard for Block SANTA MONICA, CAL.. Aug. 7.— E. C. Shapiro, held on a charge of passing a worthless check, pleaded his case before Judge G.

With the cross-examination of Dr. H. F. Harris, the State Thursday afternoon rested its case against Leo M. Frank accused of the murder of Mary Phagan- Dr. L. W. Childs was called by the defense as its first witness to rebut the testimony of Dr. Harris. The mysterious C. B. Dalton, who was expected to make sensational revelations of incidents in which Leo Frank was alleged to have participated in the National Pencil Factory, proved a very tame and commonplace witness when he was called Thursday. The most that Dalton could say was that, on several of his visits to the factory, he had seen women in Frank’s office. He told of no compromising situations. He was not even able to identify the women. He did not know whether or not they were members of Frank’s own fam ily. All that he knew was that they did not appear to be stenographers as he never saw them writing. Dalton, when he was questioned by Luther Rosser, was not even sure of his own "birthplace. He thought it was somewhere in Laurens County. He explained his presence by saying that he had gone to the factory with a Miss Daisy Hopkins. He said that he saw Frank in the office with two or three women, and that cool drinks generally were in evidence. On one occasion he said Frank and his visitors were drinking beer. Detective Rosser on Stand, Detective Bass Rosser was on the witness stand for a few min utes and was questioned briefly. He testified that when he saw Mrs. Arthur White the Monday after the crime she failed to tell him that she had seen a negro in the factory the Saturday the girl was killed. He said he did not get possession of this information until May 6 or 7. It is the contention of the State that the defense suppressed these facts. At the conclusion of Detective Rosser’s testimony, Solicitor Dorsey announced that he was prepared to rest as soon as Dr. H. F. Harris had completed the testimony which was interrupted by adjournment Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Harris was unable to ap pear when court opened at 9 o 'clock. The prosecution had nothing more to present at 9:45 and a recess was taken until Dr. Harris arrived at 11:10. Reuben Arnold began at once on a cross-examination of Dr. Harris as soon as the physician took the stand. He forced Dr. Har ris to say that there is much uncertainty in drawing conclusions about digestive functions and their time limitations. Solicitor Dorsey also asked for the submission of the National Pencil Company’s cash book and bank book before he rested his case. This was agreed to by Frank’s lawyers. The defense announced that its first witness probably would be Dr L. W. Childs, who would be called to start an immediat < attack upon the testimony presented by Dr. Harris. Dr. Childs to Combat Harris Story. Dr. Childs is a physician and surgeon and was expected to testify in regard to the wounds on Mary Phagan’s body, as well as in respect to the certainty with which the lapse of time between a person’s eating and his death may be determined. One of the most interesting pieces of evidence for the purpose of demonstration in the possession of the defense is a large size model of the National Pencil Company constructed on an accu rate scale. Frank chatted with his wife and mother in the intermission while the court was awaiting Dr. Harris, and a little later engaged in conversation with his attorneys. Dr. Childs entered the court room and talked several minutes with the defendant. Attorney Rosser said that he would turn over the direct ex amination of the defense’s witnesses to Arnold. Mr. Arnold said that the defense’s first witness would be Dr. Leo A. Childs, who would give expert testimony in rebuttal of such testimony offered by the State. Mr. Arnold said: “Further than this witness 1 don’t know what line we will
