SPIT
Radicals Call Present Quiet Calm
O efore Storm—Drunken Stu
dents Jeer Lind.
SDecial Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 13.—Follow
ing the conference between Special
American Envoy John Lind and the
Mexican Foreign Minister, Manuel
Gamboa, the belief prevailed here to
day that President Huerta would
Juiopt a conciliatory attitude toward
the United States, realizing the hope
lessness of trying to combat the vast
power of Mexico’s big neighbor.
Callers at the National Palace de
clared that in substance President
Huerta had said:
‘While Mexico resents interference
even from a friendly power In her
domestic affairs, nevertheless we do
not feel that we are in any way be
ing coerced by the United States.
We will make further protest against
any efforts of Mr. Lind to settle af
fairs in this republic if he attempts
to do so, but such action on our part
will not be of a bellicose nature.”
Lind Makes Report.
Mr. Lind is in constant communi
cation with Washington and has no
tified the State Department of his
safe arrival here and of the apparent
absence of any anti-American feel
ing.
It is understood the Carranza reb
els in Northeastern Mexico have
communicated a desire to Mr. Lind to
meet their representatives so that
representations may be made In be
half of formal recognition of the Car
ranza forces as belligerents.
The Foreign Office to-day denied
having any official knowledge of Ja
pan’s declination to recognize Felix
Diaz as a special envoy. In fact,
Mexico was assured before Senor
Diaz left Mexico that he would be
received in an official capacity.
A group of students from the Na
tional Military Academy, who evi
dently had Indulged too freely in Mex
ican rum, attempted to make a hostile
demonstration around the Hotel Las-
curain, where Mr. Lind and his party
are staying. They were driven away
by rurales.
Calm Before Storm.
The situation here has remained
quiet, but radicals among the support
ers of Huerta declare it is only the
calm before the storm. Conserva
tives are counseling Huerta not to
antagonize the United States. A
Relegation of planters called at the
National Palace to-day and present
ed a petition about as follows:
"Having the good of Mexico at
heart and desiring to attract foreign
for the upbuilding of the Re
public. we ask President Huerta to
maintain the friendliest relations
with th4 United States and not to
take action of any nature whatsoever
which might offend our peaceful al
lies. ,v
State Urged to Pay
For Warship Silver
By House Committee
Payment of Georgia’s donation *o
the silver service presented to the
battleship Georgia, which has been
deferred nix years, was recommended
Tuesdaye by a vote of 9 to 5, by the
House Committee on Appropriations.
It was the overwhelming sentiment
of the committee that the debt was an
honorable one and should be paid at
once. Charles W. Crankshaw, the
Atlanta Jeweler who has waited pa
tiently for his money, appeared !n
person before the committee and read
a brief history of the gift. It was at
the request of the late Joser>h M. Ter
rell, then Governor of Georgia, that
the gift was made. The Governor
presented the silver service on Geor
gia Day at the Jamestown Exposition.
The outstanding amount voted paid
by the Appropriations Committee was
$1,300. The total cost of the service
was $7,615. Georgia cities contrib
uted.
Diaz Ignored Because
Of Diplomatic Error
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 18.—A
cablegram to a local Japanese news
paper from Tokio to-day said:
"As the Government of Mexico has
ignored the diplomatic usage of the
international intercourse etiquette by
sending an envoy to Japan without
consulting and making arrangements
with the Japanese Government for
the mission of General Felix Diaz,
Japan advised the Government of
Mexico that there Is necessity of
careful consultations beforehand.”
Several Organizations and Indi
viduals Start in to Win Geor-
• ✓
gian’s Want Ad Contest.
McAdoo Belongs to
Buttermilk Brigade
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—The Wll-
non administration Just can not agree

ruption came to light to-day with

Tuberculosis Spread
By Paris Street Dogs
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PARIS. Aug. 13.—The French Acad
emy of Medicine is discussing thp
spreading of tuberculosis by dogs.
It Is estimated that from 12,000 to
18,000 tubercular dogs are running
loose in the Paris streets out of a total
dog population of 200,000.
It is found that dogs give tubercu
losis to cats.
“How many organizations are going
in for that $1,000 in gold?” asked the
chairman of a church committee of
the Want Ad Man. The committee
had been appointed to take up the
entry of the church in the Want Ad
Contest inaugurated by Hearst’s Sun
day American ard Atlanta Georgian,
and was making plans to go out and
win.
“Why, quite a number and more
coming,” explained the Want Ad Man.
“But the more the better for every
body.
“You see the more entered the more
the vote Is up, Just as when
four or five candidates run for Mayor.
It givos everybody a better chance
to win. And remember, there's $600
worth of furniture of your own se
lection for second prize.”
The Want Ad Contest has Inter
ested hundreds of Atlantans and the
office of the Want Ad Man, fourth
floor of the Foote & Davies Building,
is one of the busiest places in the
city this week. Contestants are call
ing to have details explained to them,
to receive order blanks and other
equipment, to have a chat with the
Want Ad Man and gain tips on how
to succeed.
The announcement of the complete
list of prizes aroused new interest.
The two grand prizes, a five-passen
ger automobile and a double tour to
California and return with all ex
penses paid, have made everybody
buckle down to work. And besides
these, there are five prizes in each
of four classes, men’s, women’s boys’
and girls’, so that everybody has a
chance to win something worth while.
And best of all, there isn’t any guess
work or-gamble. It is simply a busi
nesslike proposition in which energy
brings a certain return.
There is still time to enter the con
test. The Want Ad Man will tell
you all about it if you’ll see him this
week.
