Washington Breathes Easier as
U. S. Envoy Is Quartered
Safely in Hostile Capital.
Jones, of 'He Pays
Freight' Fame, Dies
BINGHAMTON, N. Y., Au*. 11.—
General Edward F. Jones, veteran of
the War Between the States, and
author of the advertising: slogan
“Jones, He Pays the Freight,” died
here to-day, aged 85. He was born
in Utica, N. Y. For six years Gen
eral Jones had been blind. After the
war he became a manufacturer >f
scales and grew rich principally
through his advertising campaigns.
General Jones served as colonel if
the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment,
which was the first to pass througn
Baltimore on its wa w to Washington
when the war broke out.
[
Washington, Aug. 11.—over the
State Department cable President
Wilson and John Lind, Special Envoy,
are exchanging view's on the complex
problems of Mexican conditions and
are preparing to make a striking
move which will emphasize the mis
sion of peace and mediation upon
which the latter has been sent to the
turbulent republic.
President Wilson having taken the
logical diplomatic steps to protect his
Envoy in Mexico City, and having
reassured President Huerta of the na
ture of Lind's mission, shows opti
mism over the situation. He knows
the slightest spark may ignite the #n-
ternational powder magazine in Mex
ico City, but is entirely confident that
Huerta will not permit that spark t<T
be ignited.
The safe arrival of Governor Lind
in Mexico City, where he is under the
protection of the American Embassy,
has removed a weight from the minds
of the Government officials, for they
consider the most dangerous stage of
Mr. Lind’s mission has been passed.
The Navy Department to-day pro
vided for emergencies, however, by
sending an additional light draft
gunboat to the Atlantic coast of Mex
ico. The battleship ,now off Vera
Cruz can not enter the harbor, and
their work w'ould be hampered by a
hurried summons which w’as sent to
them.
Recognition of the belligerency of
the Carranza forces, carrying with It
the waiving of the neutrality laws re
garding the shipment of arms, was
discussed in Administration circles
to-day.
There also were rumors of a rup
ture between President Wilson and
John Bassett Moore, counselor of the
State Department, over the interpre
tation of international law in regard
to Mexico, but these rumors, together
with one that Mr. Moore intends 'o
resign, are without confirmation.
It was indicated to-day that Presi
dent Wilson believes an extensive
campaign of lying to compel the
United States to intervene in Mexico
is under way. This campaign Is
based on misrepresentations of the
most brazen type, the President be
lieves, and he is determined not to be
influenced by it.
State Department advices from
Vera Cruz to-day reported renewed
rebel activiteis In the vicinity of that
city. The rebels have attacked th»
plantation of Peter Gearing, an
American missionary near Tuxpam,
Vera Cruz. Mr. Gearing has reported
the loss of several thousand dollars
worth of stock, together with several
outhouses, which were burned by the
bandits.
600 Milliners Seek
Fall Styles Here
Atlanta jobbers opened their dis

not see for a month or so to come,
when the retail milliners blossom

A spectacular fight for the extradi
tion of a citizen of Georgia began
Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock when
Governor Slaton called the hearing to
Inquire into the merits of the requi
sition papers of Governor Cole Blease.
of South Carolina, for J. J. Zachry,
of Augusta, charged with kidnaping
his own child.
Shortly before the hearing began
attorneys for both sides, including At
torney Rembert, of Columbia, repre
senting South Carolina, declared
themselves ready. Mr. Zachry, also
present, expressed hope of being sus
tained in his contention that Governor
Blease has no right to extradite him.
He was represented by Attorneys Co
hen and Phinizi, of Augusta, and
West, of Thompson.
Attorney Rembert declared he had
come to get Zachry and had every
hope of succeeding.
“We only want one thing.” said Mr.
Rembert, “and that is Zachry. Should
Governor Slaton honor the requisition
of Governor Blease, as we think hi
will, we will take Zachry back to Co
lumbia immediately for trial. While
the State of South Carolina holds that
Judge Gary, o fColumbia, had no right
to deliver the child to Zachry until
his ruling had been passed on, we
also hold this does not excuse Zachry
from a violation of the law. We will
charge that Zachry kidnaped the child
with the assistance of four consta
bles acting under orders of the Sher
iff, and that in making his escape he
exceeded the speed limit in every
through which he proceeded.”
Mr. Rembert said the four consta
bles and the Sheriff at Columbia have
been indicted.

EBILL
IS LOST IN HOUSE
Point of Order Raised Against
Request for Consideration
Sustained by Speaker.
SEABOARD OFFICIAL HERE.
W. H. Williams, superintendent of
the telegraph service of the Seaboard
Air Line, arrived in Atlanta Monday
in his private car to Inspect the At
lanta Division.
An unsuccessful attempt to bring
up for consideration House Bill No. 1.
to provide a home for wayward girls,
was made in the House of Represen
tatives Monday morning
Representative Jones, of Cowetta
County, at the request, it is under
stood, of advocates of the bill who
were in the smoking rooms of the
House at the time, made a motion
that the morning session of the House
be extended half an hour and that
the bill be placed on the calendar for
Immediate action.
He withdrew’ his motion when ob
jection watt made by Fullbright, *.f
Burke, and Sheppard, of Sumter.
Fullbright and Sheppurd made th**
po’nt of order that to extend the ses
sion meant a revision of the House
rules, which could not be done unless
a resolution Was introduced and re
ferred to the Rules Committee. The
Speaker sustained the point, quoting
a rule which read that “the Rules
Committee fixes the order of the
House and no matter can be taken up
unless It is in the order fixed by the
Rules Committee.”
It is understood an effort will be
made to Induce the Rules Committee
to place the Mil on the calendar dur
ing the present session, but there i>
little likelihood of success. The House
Appropriations Committee has recom
mended >30,000 for such a home, but
the money will not be available until
the Legislature passes a bill estab
lishing the institution.

New Balkan League
Leaves Bulgars Out
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
BUCHAREST, Aug. 11.—Instead of
being broken up by the second Bal
kan war, the Balkan league, which
formerly Included Bulgaria, Servia,
Greece and Montenegro, will probab
ly be continued in force, with Rou-
mania taking the place of Bulgaria.
Telegrams received to-day from Bel
grade, Athens and Cettinje indicated
that the governments at those seats
favored the project.
Owing to Bulgaria’s disinclination
to accept defeat at the hands of her
former allies, the resumption of hos
tilities at a later date is accepted as
foregone conclusion.

2 TRIED AS SLAYERS AT JESUP.
JESUP.—At the next term of the
Wayfie Superior Court there will be
two murder trials here. Two white
men named Harrison and Popped are
charged with killing a negro. A negro
is in jail charged with killing an
other negro.
Declaring the Legislature of Geor
gia would vote to have Jesus Christ
excluded from the State should He
come again on earth, and that the
City Council of Atlanta would not
permit Him here because He would
break up their political schemes, the
Rev. Andrew R. Holderby. in his -ser
mon at the Moore Memorial Church
Sunday morning, scathingly arraigned
the so-called Christian nations of
the world for their rejection of Jesus
Christ.
“It is quite certain,” said Dr. Hol
derby, "that the Georgia Legislature
would find no place for Christ and
would try to exclude Him from the
State, because they have ruled the
j Word of Jesus out of the public
schools.
"The Atlanta City Council would
appoint no committees for the enter
tainment of Christ. They know that
His coming would break up their po
litical rings and schemes, and they
would not want Him in Atlanta.
"It is doubtful If any church In
America really wants Christ to return
to earth. They know that His com
ing would break up their card play
ing, their pride and their fashion and
Babbath breaking, anc they had rath
er have these things than ine Son ot
God.”

a chiffonier or a china closet; again it may be a whole set for.
the dining room, bedroom or living room.
In this connection it should be a matter of some satisfac
