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 still
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 alcne 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 Retained 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.
The commandante of the rurales has
offered to provide a permanent guard
about the United States Embassy, but
Mr. O’Shaughnessy informed the
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 Ldscurain 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 suocess in deal
ing with Huerta.
It is considered likely that Governor
Lind will transmit President Wilsor.’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 bad
started for San Diego from Guaya-
maa turned back to-dav 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.
(§J
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 r
by the champions of the caives at the
head6 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
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
ait} 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.
1 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 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, thinft
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.

Saves Girl From
Injury in Runaway
—
AUGUSTA. Aug. 12.—J. P. Dough- 1
ty, Jr., a prominent cotton man,
proved himself a hero In a runaway
here yesterday when he saved Miss j
Frankie Rubertstein, an attractive Au
gusta girl, from serious injur}’. Miss 1
Rubenstein was driving up Broad j
street when her hprse became unman- j
ageable. Doughty attempted to grab
the reins, but was unsuccessful, and
then he seized a wheel. He was
thrown, but he held firm and soon
climbed into the buggy and secured
the lines, bringing the horse to a
stop.
"Our lodge has been planning to
move into new quarters for some
time, hut we have never had quite
enough money to fit up a lodgeroom
properly,” said a prominent Atlanta
secret order member to the Want Ad
Man Tuesday. ”1 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 he
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

ery contestant and prospective con
testant. He will give every aid pos
sible. explain all details, show hoy]

contestant the benefit of his expe
rience Every contestant should ses
