ATLANTA TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH GO. L No Hostile Feeling Shown Envoy Lind WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.— Charge d'Affalres O’Shaughnessy sent a reassuring note to Presi dent Wilson to-day, saying not the slightest antagonism to Mr. Lind’s presence has been shown in Mexico City. HEIFER CALVES IS KILLED Studies Conditions in Mexico While Administration Awaits Report Before Planning. House Wastes Time on Measure That Might Have Been Given Child Labor Act. Take the child sin res, shackle them. Throttle them if they laugh; Enslave the women if you will. Hut save my darling calf. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MEXICO CITY, Aug. 12.—Special Envoy John Lind, sent to Mexico City by President Wilson, is making him self thoroughly acquainted with con ditions in Mexico. The watchword of the present situation is caution, as Mr. Lind and the attaches of the United States Embassy fear that a hasty step will cause complete fail ure of the Ambassador’s mission. It was reported that Nelson O’Shaughnessy, Charge d’Affaires of the United States Embassy, had con trived to arrange an official visit at the National Palace to-day. It was assumed that he might then present to President Huerta or Foreign Min ister Aldape the note given him by Envoy Lind. Mr. Lind called at the embassy again to-day. He refuses to say any thing about his instructions from Washington. Hostile Acts Are Lacking. To the layman it seems that the Mexican situation is standing slill rather than showing improvement, although to official eyes the lack of any direct hostile action by Mexico or Mexican| is a good omen. The Mex ican people are apathetic and conser vatives believe that President Huerta virtually stood alone in his defiance of the United States. However, allow ance is made for the Latin tempera ment. If anti-American feeling flares up on a grand scale, it may sweep the republic. Claiming the Government has been misrepresented, President Huerta has placed a strict censorship upon the cable line. Even telegrams to the United States State Department pass under this careful inquiry. N. A. Jennings, correspondent for the Hearst papers, and Marvin Fer- ree, another American newspaper man, released from prison last night after being detained 24 hours, were kept under close surveillance to-day. Both feared they would be expelled under the undesirable alien law. Embassy Guard Declined. The arrival at Vera Cruz of more United States warships has caused j bitter comment in the Mexican press. Th$ commandante of the rurales has offered to provide a permanent guard about the United States Embassy, but Mr. O’Shaughnessy informed the j Mexican Government mat the Stars and Stripes provide enough protec tion. Mr. Lind, despite warnings of his friends, walks abroad in the streets or rides in an open automobile, mak ing no effort to hide his identity. At the Hotel Laseurain he mingles free ly with the other guests. Mrs. Lind, who suffered a slight in disposition upon her arrival here, was reported better to-day. President Waits Message From Lind Before Acting. WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—Presi dent Wilson to-day awaited word from Mexico City relative to the suc cess of former Governor Lind and his mission of mediation before announc ing, or even formulating any definite Mexican policy. Beyond the proposals which Governor Lind carried, it is un derstood that the administration has no plans, and that no further steps will be taken until the President’s envoy reports on his success in deal ing with Huerta. It is considered likely that Governor Lind will transmit President Wilson’s message to President Huerta through Charge O’Shaughnessy either to-day or tomorrow. It is reported the Senate is consid ering holding an executive session to discuss the Mexican situation to dis cover the consensus of opinion in the Upper House concerning the steps taken by the administration in deal ing with the matter. Cruiser Pittsburg Sent Back to Mexican Port. SAN DIEGO. CAL.. Aug. 12.—The armored cruiser Pittsburg, which had started for San Diego from Guaya mas. turned back to-day to remain at Guayamas pending further instruc tions from Washington. The Pitts burg was ordered back by wireless. The supply ship Glacier, which was to have left Guayamas to-day with refugees, was ordered to remain at the Mexican port indefii tely. Youth Fined Heavily On Flirting Charge That was the burden of the song Monday afternoon in the Georgia House of Representatives—the same House of Representatives that has persistently refused to consider any measure to relieve the condition of the thousands of child-slaves In the State—when the legislators, for two hours, discussed solemnly and ear nestly a bill designed to protect the heifer calves of the State from the persecutions of the butcher and the farmer by prohibiting the killing of the "innocent, pure-eyed little things" —that is what one member called them—until they have reached the mature age of 2 years. Rhetorical thunderbolts were hurled by the champions of the calves at the heads of those who were determined that the last calf should be executed, to be met by bursting bombs of meta phor that shook the rafters and pene trated even to the farthest confines of the gallery; epigrammatic sky rockets threw their trails of fiery lan guage into the running gears of the pinwheels of logic; the defenders of the calf hurled Biblical passages into the camp of the veal eaters, and the bloodthirsty members who wanted blood, red blood, delved into the poets and flung quotation after quotation into the very teeth of the advancing arTny of calfdom. Bill Bleated—Then Died. And after two hours the calf bill poked its head up through the maze of oratory and near-oratory, through the mud of condemnation and the whitewash of appreciation, gave one plaintive, despairing bleat, and died, 91 votes to 73. Members who had viewed with equanimity and magnificent self-con trol the smothering of measures to aid the child-slaves felt impelled to rise in their might when the rights of the calf were assailed. Here’s how some of them felt: Mr. Conner, of Spalding—“If this bill is not passed, in five years cows will be as scarce as hens’ teeth." Mr. Ennis, of Baldwin—"Saving the calves Is no laughing matter. If you had seen the slaughter of these inno cent little things as I have you would vote aye.” Mr. Lloyd, of Newton—“This bill is the worst kind of class legislation. Why can’t the bull calf have the same right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness that is granted the heifer calf? A man’s calves are his private property and should not be regu lated.” Mr. Culpepper, of Meriwether— “Why is it these men want to pro tect the heifer calves and allow the bull calves to go to their doom, when it is a fact that the ‘female of the species is more deadly than the male?’ ’’ Mr. Picquet. of Richmond—“The Bible says, ’Thou shalt not kill,’ and it applies to calves as well as hu man beings. It makes my heart bleed to see these innocent little calves cruelly, brutally slaughtered to pro vide a veal eater’s holiday.” “Prodigal” Is Provided For. Mr. Shuptrine, of Chatham—“The bill should not pass under any cir cumstances. We have the Bible on our side, for it distinctly ordered that the fatted calf be killed for the prod igal son.” Mr. Spence, of Carroll—“I am out raged and indignant. This bill is the most diabolical bill I have ever seen I vote NO!” Mr. Wimberly, of Bibb—“To kill this bill means that the slaughter of the innocents will be continued, and what man, be be ever so strong, can endure the .sight of the wild-eyed, bleating calf being led to the slaugh ter? There are 365,000 calves butch ered in Georgia every year. If the> were saved, think of the number of cows we would have in four years and the lowing herds that would wind slowly over the lea! Think of the rivers and lakes of milk, and if we can raise enough strawberries, think of the strawberries and cream we could have.” Mr. Berry, of Whitfield—“I arise to explain that I am not going to ex plain my vote.” The bill was introduced by Nelson, of Clayton, and favorably reported by the Committee on General Agri culture, of w lich Kimbrough, of Har ris, is chairman. Crusade Against Short Weight Ice Peddlers Pushed The campaign against short weight ice peddlers has taken a more ag gressive turn. Chief Beavers has de tailed Policeman Holley to assist In spector of Weights and Measures Bu chanan in making cases against of fenders. As a result of this increased ac tivity two negro peddlers were tried and fined by Recorder Pro Tern Pres ton. Five more cases are set for trial Tuesday afternoon. The crusade, it is believed, will save Atlantans hundreds of dollars during the remainder of the summer. ’In spector Buchanan and Officer Holley got direct evidence against the ped dlers by following them and weigh ing the ice just after it had been weighed by the peddlers and deliv ered to the consumer.

Mourners Forget Corpse When 3 Are Killed at Funeral Disease Turns White Children Into Black PHILADELPHIA. PA.. Aug. 12.— Eighteen-month-old twin boys In the Uhildron’s Homeopathic Hospital are suffering from one of the rarest dis eases known to medical science. It has changed their color from white to black. The disease is pseudo leucamia, or Hodgkin's disease, and it is an af fection of the lymphatic glands in which the number of white blood corpuscles is increased and the red blood corpuscles greatly diminished. “Our lodge has been planning to move into new quarters for some time, but we have never had quite enough money to fit up a lodgeroom properly,” said a prominent Atlanta secret order number to the Want Ad Man Tuesday. “I talked it over with several friends last night, and we're going out to win that $1,000 first prize in your Want Ad Contest.” “Good luck to you,” said the Want Ad Man. “Pitch in and win. And even if you don’t land first, that $500 worth of furniture for second prize will go a long way toward making your lodgeroom comfortable.” Several organizations, including churches, lodges and charitable so cieties, have announced their inten- tention of entering The Georgian Want Ad Contest, rounding up want ads by the thousand and rolling up enough votes to win. The women are especially enthusiastic. They are always workers in their churches. Individual Prizes. Individuals, too, are taking on re newed interest with the announce ment of the complete prize list. The automobile for the first grand prize and the tour to California for two persons, all expenses paid, will be the goal of every worker. But there is consolation for those who fail to win first or second, for five prizes are offered in each of four classes— men, women, boys and girls—and these prizes include motorcycles, player pianos, bicycles, watches, dia monds and other articles worth try ing for. The Want Ad Man is in his office, fourth floor of the Foote & Davies Building, every day until 5 o'clock. On Tuesdays, Thursday and Satur days he remains at his desk until 8 o’clock at night, and he is anxious to have a heart-to-heart chat with ev ery contestant and prospective con testant. He will give every aid pos sible, explain all details, show how success is to be had. and give every contestant the benefit of his expe rience. Every contestant should ses him this week.
