TTTF: ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
Radicals Call Present Quiet Calm
Before Storm—Drunken Stu
dents Jeer Lind.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 13.—Follow-
ing th© conference between Special
American Envoy John Lind and the
Mexican Foreign Minister, ManueJ
Gamboa, the belief prevailed here to
day th^t President Huerta would
adopt 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.
"VVe 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 Sendr
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, rttempted 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
delegation 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
capital for the upbuilding of the Re
public, we ask President Huerta to
maintain the friendliest relations
with the United States and not to
take action of any nature whatsoever
which might offend our peaceful al
lies.”
State Urged to Pay
For Warship Silver
By House Committee
Payment of Georgia’s donation ’o
th© silver service presented to the
battleship Georgia, which has been
deferred six years, was recommended
Tuesdaye by a vote of 9 to 6, 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 In
person before the committee and rea-1
a brief history of the gift. It was at
the request of the late Joseoh 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 $7,515". Georgia cities contrib
uted.
Diaz Ignored Because
Of Diplomatic Error
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 13—A
cablegram to a local Japanese news
paper from Toklo 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.’’

viduals Start in to Win Geor

body.
“You see the more entered the more

lection for second prize.”

ing to have details explained to them,

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

buckle down to work. And besides
these, there are five prizes in each

and girls’, so that everybody has a
chance to win something worth while.
