Defense Fights Hard to Establish its Theory of Killing Hatred Against Americans in Cap ital Stirred by President—Lind Warned Not to Come. RACING RESULTS WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.— The administration to-day decided to ignore entirely the note sent by President Huerta to the American gov ernment and to direct Spe cial Envoy Lind to proceed to Mexico City without de lay on his arrival at Vera Cruz to-night, unless he be held back by armed force. “The President declines to be bluffed,’’ stated a prominent government offi cial to-day. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MEXICO CITY, Aug. 8.—With the approval of Provisional President Huerta, arms were issued to-day to the students of the National Military Academy, who yesterday drafted a resolution praising Huerta for de claring John Lind, the special Amer ican envoy, persona non grata to the Mexican Government. A number of residents in the Amer ican colony, who have fortunes in vested in Mexico, are planning to make a demonstration Sunday When protests will be lodged against the action of President Wilson in sending a personal representative to Mexico City and urging that the Mexican Government be upheld. Foreign Minister Aldape and other members of the Cabinet are doing all In their power to arouse the patriot ism and enthusiasm of the people. Meetings of young hot bloods, who are standing up for President Huerta in his defiance of the Stars and Stripes, are being encouraged. Mexican secret service agents have been detailed to watch every move ment that Mr. Lind makes here and the envoy will be under constant sur veillance. The newspapers to-day carried flaming stories of “Yankee interfer ence,” and warned the State Depart ment to recall Mr. Lind from Vera Cruz and not allow him to come to Mexico City. Direful consequences are promised if President Wilson and Secretary* Bryan continue their present course of trying to settle the internal af fairs of Mexico while withholding of. flcial recognition of the Huerta ad. ministration. ’ All the papers carry warm words ot praise for Huerta and promise that he will stand line a rock in behalf of his policy of •'Mexicans for Mexican affairs.” United States warships in the har bor at Vera Cruz were in wireless communication with the New Hamp shire, upon which Mr. Lind, is com ing. and it is expected that the New Hampshire will reach Vera Cruz about 9 o’clock to-night.

There was a gathering of Cabinet Ministers and Huerta a therents n Congress at the National Palace to day. at which the existing American- Mexican situation was thoroughly discussed.

In sending Governor Lind as adviser to the embassy, the President is entirely within his rights and this Department will not assume that his going will be regarded as un friendly when the character of his mission is understood.” WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—The House to-day adjourned until Tuesday out of respect to the memory of the late Senator John ston, of Alabama. JOIST!OF 3 RUNS FOR IS United States Senator Victim of Pneumonia After Nine Days’ Illness at Capital. WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—Senator Joseph F. Johnston, of Alabama, died at 9 o'clock this morning at his apart ment in the Brighton. Senator Johnston had been ill for eight days, suffering from pneumonia. As a mark of respect to the memory of Senator Johnston, the Senate ad journed almost immediately after as sembling at noon. Senator Overman offered a resolu tion for the appointment of a com mittee of Senators to take part in the funeral ceremonies and to accom pany the body to Birmingham, where burial is to be made. The Vice President appointed the following committee: Senators Bank- head, of Alabama; Bacon, Overman. Chamberlain, Hitchcock, Clarke; of Arkansas; Vardaman, Johnson, Swan son, Smith, of South Carolina; Thorn ton, Warren, Bristow, Galllnger, Ca tron, Bradley and Kenyon. The funeral party will leave here to-night, and is expected to reach Birmingham to-morrow night. The funeral will take place Sunday morn ing. Senator Joseph Forney Johnston, of Birmingham, was born in North Carolina in 1843. He served in the Confederate army from the begin ning of the war to its conclusion, and was wounded four times. He rose from a private to the rank of captain, and was frequently mentioned hon orably for gallant conduct. Senator Johnston served four years as Governor of Alabama, before his election to the Senate in 1907. His first election to the Senate was to the unexpired term of Senator E. W- Pettus, deceased. He w T as re-elected in 1909 to his present term. Senator Johnston's death at this time undoubtedly will 1 ring about an acute political crisis in Alabama. His seat was being contested at the time of his death by Congressman R. P. Hobson, and the fight between them had grown very bitter. It is practi cally certain that Hobson will not be permitted, now that Johnston is dead, to have the succession uncontested. There has been talk of Congress man Underwood as a candidate against Mr. Hobson, and the death of Senator Johnston likely will revive that. His immediate successor will be named by Governor O’Neal, which means that Mr. Hobson will not get the immediate appointment. He had been in poor health for sev eral weeks. Mrs. Johnston was with her hus band when he died, as well as Forney Johnston, his son, who arrived from his home in Birmingham yesterday.

Forecast for Atlanta and Georgia—Occasional showers Friday and Saturday. After a bitter fight In which Rep resentative Wohiwender, of Musco gee. charged under influence by ad vocates of the measure, the House of Represenativcs Friday morning passed the Garlington medical bill, known as the medical practices act, by a vote of 121 to 3, amended so as t prevent the members of the allo pathic school of medicine having a majority of the proposed State Board of Medical Examiners. The original bill provided for a board of five al’opaths, two eclectics and one homeopath. The original bill, it was alleged by its opponents, was drawn by repre sentatives of the American Medical Association, referred to on the floor of the House as the “medical trust.” It was favorably reported by the committee, and a minority Teport condemning the bill was offered Dy R. J. Arnold, of Henry County, a member of the Hygiene and Sanita tion Committee. Chairman Breaks Tie. Representative Hardeman, of Jef ferson. who occupyed the Speaker’s chair during the early part of the consideration of the bill, broke a t.e vote on the amendment of Conner of Spalding to add two more members to the eight provided by the original bill. The chairman’s vote carried the amendment.

Prior to the discussion of the bill the impression was that it would bar Christian Scientists and mental heal ers. An amendment was introduced by McCarthy, of Chatham, providing for this school of healing, but it was lost. The bill, however, takes caroof them in the following language: “The provisions of this bill shall not be construed as to interfere with the practices and beliefs of any religious sect, nor with the practice of osteo paths.” Garlington, of Richmond, the author of the bill, asserted that the minority report submitted by Arnold, of Henry, was drawn by physicians opposed to the passage of the bilL That the door leading from the entryway on the first floor of the National Pencil Factory, which had been nailed up since the first of January, was found broken open shortly after the murder of Mary Phagan was the startling testimony of N. V. Darley at the trial of Leo Frank Friday afternoon. No testimony cf this nature had been presented before and n ointimation of such a discovery had been made during the investigation of the murder mystery. Its production, if the statements remain uncontrovert ed, opens up th epossibility that the murderer of Mary Phagan attacked her on the first floor, broke open the door into the rear of the building and threw the body down one of two trap doors, one of which opens onto a . | chute and the ether onto a steep stairway. The defense did not appear to be abandoning its theory that Conley might have attacked Mary Phagan and thrown her down the leevator shaft only a few feet distant or down the scuttlehole right by the elevator. On the contrary, Reuben Arnold in ques tioning Darley and other witnesses emphasized the ease with which such a deed might have been accomplished. It seemed to be the effort of the defense at this time not to center upon any one theory, but to show the jurors that the negro might have perpe trated the crime and disposed of the body in any one of four or five ways. Darley, in advancing the striking possibility that the body had been carried through the dour on the first floor into the rear of the building, said that the door had been nailed up again a few days after the crime as mysteriously as it had been broken open. Darley Suspected Conley. Darley said that he had kept watch of employees after the murder and that his suspicion immediately had fastened upon Con ley because of the negro’s peculiar actions. He said he had de tailed the day watchman to montain an espionage over Conley. C. B. Dalton’s story recevied a severe blow at the hands of Darley. Darley said that no negro night watchman had been em ployed at the factory before April, 1913. Dalton tlod of night visits at the factory prior to this time and said he was met by a negro night watchman. Solicitor Dorsey, cross-examining Darley, made the witness admit that detectives had been in the factory after the crime and might themselves nave broken open the door. The solicitor has brought out that if the body had been thrown down the chute in the rear of the factory, it would have dropped behind a pile of boxes where it would have been more effectively 1 hidden than where it was discovered by Newt Lee. The solicitor claimed that the trap door over the rear stairway into the base ment was nailed. The attorneys for Frank vigorously assailed Friday the stories of two of the State’s of two of the State’s negro witnesses, Jim; Conley, the accuser of Frank, and Albert McKnight, who said he saw Frank at the Selig home Saturday afternoon, April 26. The motorman and conductor of the street car on which Mary Phagan is believed to have come to town the day of her death both testified thafi they knew the girl and that she was on their cau which arrived at Broad and Hunter Streets not before 12:07 o’clock. She stayed on the car, they said, until the car reached* Broad and Hunter Streets, which was about 12:10 o’clock. Con sequently, it would have been impossible for her to reach the fac tory before 12:11 or 12:12 o’clock. If the testimony of the two street car employees is accurate, it completely upsets Jim Conley's story that he saw Mary Phagan enter the factory before Monteen Stover came in. By the Stover girl’s own testimony she entered the factory at 12:05 o'clock and left at 12:10 o’clock. Thus, she had gone by the time the Phagan girl arrived. It also serves to destroy the significance of the Stover girl's testimony that Frank was absent from his office when she ar rived there. As Mary Phagan had not yet arrived, according to the testimony of the street car men, it could hardly be regarded as a suspicious circumstance that Frank was not in his office, if) it develops that he really was not. The defense also contends that Miss Stover, who admits she did not enter the inner office, couldi have looked through the doorway without seeing Frank. Soon after court reconvened i of No. 391 Peachtree street, man- in the afternoon, H. J. Hinchey, ager of the South Atlan^ Blow-
