Harris, who was excused from the witness stand Wednesday on ac count of illness, could arrive in court. The recess lasted for more than an hour. Dr. Harris, when he arrived upon the stand, was questioned upon cross-examination by Attorney Reu ben Arnold. Q. Unfavorable circumstances some times retard digestion, don't they?— A. Well, that is a very grave matter, and there is so little data on the sub ject it is hard to answer. About External Circumstances. Q. You would not say then that external circumstances, some undue mental excitement, might delay di gestion?—A. I really don’t know. There was an old Roman proverb that a person should take a w'alk aft- I er eating. Others say sleeping after a meal aids digestion. Q. Then there is no set rule for di gestion? Everybody is a rule unto themselves?—A. Not altogether. The average normal stomach Is about the same in digestion. Q. There is no indication on the outside of the body that would indi cate how far digestion has gone?—A None whatever. Q. Don’t the pulse or temperature show indigestion?—A. No. Very many people have indigestion several years and don’t know it. They don’t even feel it themselves. Q. How long does the stomach take to free Itself when it is full?—A. That ha«* been investigated rather thor oughly. but it varies. I would say about 7 1-2 hours. Q. How long does it take some sub stance that the stomach does not di gest to pass out?—A. That is hard to say. They probably pass through in a foreign body. Q. How long would it take?—A. That depends The stomach doesn't like to free itself of meat until it is emulsified. Then It goes out verj freely. About Digestion of Cabbage. Q. That is Just the point. Does the stomach emulsify' cabbage or corn?—A. Oh, yes; there is always a constant churning motion. Q. How about corn?—A. It might pass through without emulsifying. Q. Peas?—A. Yes. Q. You would not attempt to enu merate what vegetables would pass through the stomach to the intestines'’ A. No, I would not. Q. Is it not a fact that the first knowledge of digestion comes from that Canadian case?—A. Yes. Q. Is it not a fact that the only experiments before that time were ♦ made on rabbits and other animals for vegetables, and animals for meat? A. ^ es. Q. Is there any animal that eats everything that man does?—A. Yes, the swine. Q. Any other?—A. I rather think the ca» does. Q. Well, isn’t the wildcat a carniv orous animal strictly?—A. I don’t know. I never associated with one. Q. You will admit that the experi ments along this line are very limited with the exception of that Canadian case?—A. Yes. Processes Not All Understood. Q. It is practically in its infancy?— A. Well, 1 would not say that. We are fairly familiar with the various juices and the process of digestion. But there is still much to learn. Q. Just what part does the mouth and saliva play in connection with the stomach and the gastric juices, and the lower bowels? Is not this something that is not definitely known?—A. Yes, that is true. Q. Don’t you practice vivisection on these animals?—A. Yes. Q. And you have never done it on humans, and you don’t know how the processes take place in the human like you do in the animals?—A. Ex cept with .the stomach. Q. What is the hardest vegetables to digest? I mean, leaving your ex periments and speaking from the viewpoint of science.—A. I don’t know that science has ever determined that. Q. Isn’t cabbage regarded as one of the hardest vegetables to digest?—A. I probably have heard that. It may be that after cabbage has gone through the stomach, trouble may be caused in the small intestines that may be what has given the geenral idea that cabbage is hard to digest. Q. Didn’t you say when you first testified that you couldn’t tell any thing about the bread in the stom ach?—A. I don’t think I made that statement. Mr. Arnold read his testimony previously given. Dr. Harris: "If I said that, I did not mean it in that sense. I meant that you could tell nothing about It by observing with the naked eye.” Q. You said it was impossible to state absolutely how long that cab bage had been in Mary Phagan’s stomach?—A. I meant I could not state within a minute. Q. Could you tell within two min utes?—A. No, not within 3. or 4, or 5. Probably not within 10 minutes. Buf I could tell that it was somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes. Q. Doesn’t it all depend on how much digestion is delayed?—A. To an extent. Q. All you are attempting to say, then, is that the process of digestion had only gone on a certain length of time?—A. Yes. Q. Didn’t you say that certain cir cumstances retard digestion?—A. Yes. but I didn’t say that anything could retard the flow of the digestive juices. No one has ever shown that anything could retard the process of digestion. $250,000 Gem Theft Clew Is Unearthed NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Declaring his operatives have evidence that jew els worth $250,000 were taken in the recent robbery of the mansion of John E.

CHINA, Aug. 7.—A desperate battle between Government troops and a force of rebels and mu tineers is being fought near Cantor- Dispatches report terrible slaughter. Continued From Page 1. Investigator, Mr Lind is commissioned to act as a peacemaker between the leaders of the various revolutionary factions, but it is doubtful if Huerta will allow an alien to act in such a capacity. Huerta Has New Slogan. "Mexican affairs for Mexicans,” was the laconic remark made by President Huerta to-day to his followers In Con gress who called at the national pal ace. Previous to the statement Issued to day by the Mexican Minister, the United States Embassy had received the following note from Secretary of State Bryan: You may say to the Mexican Foreign Minister that Governor Lind comes to Mexico on a mis sion of peace, and that President WMson feels that his presence there will* contribute tow’ard a settlement of existing difficulties. The Mexican Government should await the President's communi cation and not give weight to misrepresentations published in sensational newspapers Not only in this city but through out the entire republic increased an tagonism toward Americans is being shown Huerta and his advisers be lieve that if war should be declared it would have the result in making a unit of all the revolutionary bands so that a solid front could be presented against any foreign foe. Within the past seven months the Government has placed orders for 100,000 rifles and a commensurate supply of ammunition, as well as mountain and field guns. Steel, Not Grape-Juice To Back U. S. Policy. WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—The first show of hostility to Special Envoy Lind, the President’s personal repre sentative, now speeding 1 on his way to Mexico, came from Mexico City to day from unofficial sources, and con firmed some of the early suspicions of Washington officials. It was expected that General Huer ta would make some move to block the movement toward mediation with the Constitutionalists, which has been devised by President Wilson. If the de facto government, how ever, should deliberately aim to poi son Mexican public opinion against the good offices of the United States even before the arrival of Mr. Lind, President Wilson will realize that he has been dealing too Justly with Gen eral Huerta and that a more drastic policy is required. If the Federalists decline to take Mr. Lind’s mission seriously, the President will find his well-inten tioned plan of restoring peace in Mexico blocked in advance. General Huerta probably will find that, if he thus Insults the White House, there will be steel in American foreign policy, as w r ell as "grape Juice." The White House is cognizant of the fact that it can, with the exercise of a little diplomatic pressure, oust General Huerta from the Presidency in a short time. It is this club which the United States may wield before intervention becomes a possibility. If Mr. Lind is to go to Mexico City with the entire capital hostile to him be fore his arrival, owing to Huerta’s influence, officials believe the United States will not be slow* to adopt re taliatory measures.- Secretary of State Bryan received to-day a telegram from Mr. Lind stating that he arrived at G&lveqton Cartersville Pays Sam Jones Tribute CARTERSVILLE, Aug. 7.—To morrow will be Sam Jones Memorial Day at Sam Jones Tabernacle.

To-morrow' afternoon services will be held at which negro people will have an opportunity to pay tribute to the famous revivalist, who was a great friend of the race. Continued From Page 1.

A Leach, a business man of San Fran cisco. told Secretary of State Bryan to-day a thrilling story of the sack ing of the city of Durango by Revo lutionists on June 18. w’hich he wit nessed. The entire city was looted, he says, and German, French and American stores were burned, entailing a prop erty loss of more than $5,000,000. Scores of Mexicans were shot down and dragged through the streets. Roger Palmer, an Englishman, em ployed by the Mexican National Rail- wray, was killed because he failed to open a safe. Carlos Bombrandls, mining man, and L. W. Elder, both Americans, were wounded by a bomb used to force the doors of the McDonald In stitute, where many of the foreign ers had assembled for protection. H. W. Stepp, an American civil engineer, was shot through the leg because he failed to deliver 500 pesos he did not have. Leach says a number of w'omen sought safety in the archbishop’s pal ace but the bishop was taken pris oner and held for ransom of half a million pesos. Hundreds of women and girls were outraged.

Th« Idea was this: If the Hixon- Searcy bill were brought out from the committee and consideration of it begun by the House, it would precipitate a "wet" and “dry" fight pure and simple. De bate would naturally wax fast and furious, and the members w’ho oppose tax reform measures figured that the discussion of the bill would occupy the time of the House until adjourn ment, or at least create such a spirit of unrest and antagonism that the ranks of the tax reformers would he broken. Then, when Speaker Burwell ruled the Kidd resolution out of order Dn the grounds that it asked a physical impossibility of the Temperance Com mittee, the strength of the combine was directed against the presiding officer of the House and his bills, and the bills of others that he fa vored, and the bills of the other members who opposed the resolution. Controls Half of House. The combine at present controls probably half the votes of the House, and renders impossible the passage of any measure that requires a two- thirds vote, and makes exceedingly difficult the passage of any measure requiring even a bare majority. Wed nesday afternoon the combine dis played strength enough to defeat two of Speaker Burwell’s bills, both con stitutional amendments requiring a two-thirds majority to carry. They were administration bills, and the word has been passed among the members of the House that Governor Slaton favored them and desired that they be enacted. Both w'ere over whelmingly defeated. The first bill to feel the strength of the combine was Burwrall’s meas ure submitting to the qualified voters of the State a proposition to amend the constitution so that the school levy of any one year should not ex ceed 2 1-2 mills, in addition to the regular school fund provided by the Constitution. Two of His Measures Beaten. Though the Speaker himself took the floor and explained the purposi of the bill—that it was merely one of a series of bills designed to place the State on a sound business basis —the bill was defeated by a vote of 106 to 67, lacking by 17 jyotes the necessary twra-thlrds majority. The other administration bill, a com panion bill to the one defeated first, submitted a proposition that the an nual levy for pensions should not exceed 1 1-2 mills. It was defeated, the vote being 79 to 79. It lacked 44 votes of having a two-thirds ma jority. Unless the combine can be broken, the result will be that little or no legislation of importance will be en acted during the balance of the ses sion. It means that the Legislature, having already attained the name by doing less than any Legislature in years, will go down In history as a Legislature that did absolutely noth ing of importance. 1 C- IT. 0. 0.
