No Hostile Feeling Shown Envoy Lind WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.— Charge d’Affaires O’Shaughnessy sent a reassuring note to Presi dent Wilson to-day, saying not the slightest antagonism to Mr. IJnd’s presence has been shown in Mexico City.

ATLANTA TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH CO. Studies Conditions in Mexico While Administration Awaits Report Before Planning, 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 hirn 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 £he Mexican situation is standing sfill rather than showing improvement, although to official eyes the lack of any direct hostile action by Mexico or Mexicans 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 beer, 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 . bitter comment in the Mexican press, j The commandante of the rurales has offered to provide a permanent guard I about the United States Embassy, but j Mr. O’Shaughnessy informed the j Mexican Government i .at the Stars; and Stripes provide enough protea- i tion. Mr. Lind, despite warnings of his friends, walks abroad in the streets | or rides in an open automobile, mak- j ing no effort to hide his identity. At the Hotel Lascurain 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. i 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 bark to-day to remain at Guayamas pendinsr 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 indefi. telv. Take the child slaves, shackle them, Throttle them if then laugh; Enslave the women if you will, Hut save my darling calf. 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 theii 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 yeal 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 army 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 he 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 they 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 bv 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 1 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.

Disease Turns White Children Into Black PHILADELPHIA, PA., Aug. 12.— Eighteen-month-old twin boys in the Children’s Homeopathic Hospital are suffering from one of the rarest dis eases known to medical science.

Saves Girl From Injury in Pomaway AUGUSTA, Aug. 12.—J. P. Dough ty, Jr., a prominent cotton man, proved himself a hero in a runaway here yesterday when he saved Miss Frankie Rubenstein. an attractive Au gusta girl, from serious injury. Miss Rubenstein was driving up Broad street when her horse became unman ageable. Doughty attempted to grab the reins, but was unsuccessful, and then he seized a wheel. He was throw*, but he held firm and soon climbed into the buggy and secured the lines, bringing the horse to a stop. Dr. E. L. Connally and associates will soon start the construction of a sixteen-story office building on the j site of Brown & Allen’s drug store, | southeast corner of Whitehall and : Alabama streets, if plans which are under way are consummated. An- l nouncement \yas made unofficially at j noon Tuesday that Dr. Connally has been In consultation with W. L. Slod- dart of New York and Atlanta, an! other architects, from whom he has received tentative plans. In fact, an engineer representing a local architect surveyed the ground last week and made measurements of the stores in the building. Dr. Con nally could not be reached for an ex pression as to his plans, and his son. Thomas W. Connally, refused to be quoted. Such a move hast been in contem plation for several years. Two years ago Dr. Connally had an architect sketch a twenty-story building, and since then he has had more or less definite intentions to erect a build ing that will be a credit to the sec tion and to the city. The structure which Dr. Connally is planning will cost probably $750,000. and will be a* distinct addition to the line of attractive buildings on White hall. It will probably be known as the Connally Building, after its builder, who likewise erected the old struc ture. The present building is 30 years old and it must soon be repaired or torn down. About a year ago a brick wad was placed in the center. The struc ture Is three stories and of brick. The lot is about 00 feet square, an1 a sixteen-story office building would give 129,600 square feet of floor spae». Frontage near this point seldom changes hands, but is estimated to be worth from $7,500 to $10,000 in a transaction with no exchange ele ments, or $675,000 to $900,000. Brown & Allen now pay $1,000 a month for the conre. it was declared. Chamberlain Fills Johnston’s Place On War Committee ALBANY, N. Y„ Aug. 12.—At 3:15 p. m. the Assembly took a recess until 8:30 to-night. The majority to pass the impeachment resolution is still lacking, but the anti-Sulzer leaders expect to have the members -ounded up to-night. ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 12.—Govern, or William Sulzer’s political life hangs in the balance to-day. Faced by a hostile Legislature, Governor Sulzer, with his back to the wall, fought with more vigor than he had pressed into any other contest in his long politi cal career. Before the Assembly convened to vote on the resolution that Sulzer should be impeached for “high crimes and misdemeanors” for the' alleged private use of political funds and speculation in Wall Street, opponents of the Governor claimed to have enough votes to pass the resolution. At least five of the Judges of the Court of Appeals must participate In the impeachment trial, and support ers of Governor Sulzer rely upon the judicial rather than the legislative action of the proposed court of lm- peaehnK r t for a favorable decision in the involved case. The resolution of Impeachment whose formulation is based on find ings of the Frawley legislative com mittee, was introduced in the As sembly at 12:15 a. m., .when 101 of the 150 members were present, but it was predicted that close to a full at tendance would be on hand to-day Democrats opposed to Governor Sul zer appointed committee's to see that every me mber was in his seat. Slaying Ends Feud Of North Carolinans ALEXANDER, N. C\, Aug. 12—A feud of four years’ standing ended in the killing Monday evening of Dr. W. J. Clontz by O. M. West, a rural mail carrier. Three bullets were fired, either e>f which would have been fatal.
