Jones, of ‘He Pays Freight' Fame, Dies BINGHAMTON, N. Y., Aug. 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 86. He was born In Utica, N. Y. For six years Gen eral Jones had been blind. After the war he became a manufacturer of scales and grew rich principally through his advertising campaigns. General Jones served as colonel of the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment, which was the first to pass through Baltimore on its wa- to Washington when the war broke out. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—Over-the State Department cable President Wilson and John Lind, Special Envoy, are exchanging views on the complex problems of Mexican conditions and are preparing to make a striking move which will emphasise the mis sion of peace and mediation upon which the latter ha* 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 In ternational powder magazine In Mex ico City, but is entirely confident that Huerta will not permit that spark to be ignited. The safe arrival of Governor Lind in Mexico City, where he is undeT tht? 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 would be hampered by a hurried summons which was 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 comped 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 the 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 plays of fall millinery Monday, and leaders in the trade estimate that 600 buyers are in the city.

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 hint. 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 he 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 ajso 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.

Declaring the Legislature of Geor- 1 gla wouftl 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 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 Sabbath breaking, ann they had rath er have these things than the Son of God.” !SEQUEL TO LOVE FOR DOLL 13 Vernal Initlnot Greatly Dnw'oped by T«a«h- ln| Children ta Lava Their Dolla. ) The little child's doll Is mother to the > meet romantic fairy And In the yeara that » past, the doll fade* Into the petals of a June • rose, to evolve the most wondrous of all trana- J formations.
