Special Ambassador Finds Way to
Communicate With President
Despite Threats.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 14.—Special
Envoy John Lind, sent here on a
diplomatic mission by President Wil
son, finally has established direct
communication with President Huerta
despite Huerta’s repeated announce
ments that he would not recognize
Lind as an Ambassador or receive
him officially.
It was learned here to-day that
Foreign Minister Gamboa is the
agency through which Mr. Lind was
able to communicate with President
Huerta, although it is not known
whether or not Charge d’Affaires
O’Shaughnessy has presented the note
brought by Mr. Lind from the State
Department.
It has begun to appear that Huer
ta’s bluff of defiance has been called.
No steps have been taken by the
Mexican Government for the expul
sion of Mr. Lind, although President
Huerta declared this would be done.
Indications are that Lind’s presence
will be tolerated, although the Gov
ernment will not go out of its way to
assist him in bringing peace.
War Minister Blanquet to-day is
sued a statement to the Mexico City
newspapers, based on the Federal vic
tory at Torreon.
“The result of that fight, which was
an overwhelming victory for the Gov
ernment, proves conclusively that we
are able to maintain our own.” said
Blyanquet. ‘‘The Government forces
are winning in every section of the
republic, and we will soon be able to
restore peace without outside aid.
“Despite all the hindrances thrown
in our way by the United States Gov
ernment, we have been making prog
ress since Victoriano Huerta was
elected President. President Huerta
is a constructive executive. In ad
dition to restoring peace he is build
ing up a strong diplomatic corps
abroticl and is inviting the investment
of foreign capital.”
Mrs. Lind, wife of the envoy, who
was indisposed upon her arrival here,
has recovered. Her ailment arose
chiefly from fear for her husband’3
safety.
Ambassador Lind now has head
quarters at the United States Em
bassy.
Diaz to Offer Valuable
Concessions to Japanese.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 14.—It was
learned here to-day from an authentic
source that Colonel Felix Diaz, en
route to Japan to thank Japan for
taking part in the Mexican centenniel,
carries with him a proposal for val
uable concessions to Japan upon the
west coast.
The Government hopes to establish
a big Japanese colony in Sinaloa and
Sonora, where small farms will be
conferred upon each immigrant who
promises to remain in the republic
and respect its laws. Marine and fish
ing concessions will be offered to a
Japanese Government steamship line
and a big depot for coaling ships
may be built near Guayamas.
The Foreign Department is striving
to get on familiar relations with Ja
pan for a number of reasons. The
principal one. it is pointed out. is that
Mexico’s ranks of workers have been
decimated by war and labor is needed
here.
Fresh capital is sought and It is
believed that Japanese are as efficient
as any others in opening up the coun
try’s resources.
Envoy Wilson Regarded
As Deliberate Meddler.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—The
sensational re-entrance of Henry
Lane Wilson into the Mexican sit
uation has brought the administra
tion face to face with the dilemma
of either discharging the Ambassa-,
dor at once or of ignoring his at
tacks on the British Foreign Office,
which, coming from a man still a
member of the American diplomatic
, service, is unprecedented. Ambassa-
j? dor Wilson’s statement is regarded in
I administration circles as a deliberate
attempt to muddle a situation which
was beginning to clear satisfactorily.
The progress Envoy Lind has been
making in Mexico City in bringing
about a condition of affairs favor
able to the presentation of the Presi
dent’s proposal is taken to mean that
he has all the qualifications of a
trained diplomat for the difficult task
in which he is now' engaged. The
feeling is growing that the risk of
serious trouble with Mexico over his
entrance into the treacherous arena
of Mexican politics has passed.
State Department offi^als refuse to
say whether they expect Mr. Lind to
call on President Huerta to-day, al
though there is a strong impression
that he will do so.

TRET DOME
National Guard Command to Obey
Lieutenant Governor— Execu
tive Told of Impeachment.
ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 14.—Formal
notice w'as served on Governor Wil
liam Sulzer to-day that he had been
impeached by the New York State
Assembly for “high crimes and mis
demeanors,” including the alleged use
of money contributed to his campaign
for speculation in Wall street.
At the same time the bitter fight
between Governor Sulzer and Lieu
tenant Governor Martin H. Glynn for
control of the Great Seal of the State
w’axed more bitter. Acting Adjutant
General E. V. Howard, replying to re
ports that Governor Sulzer would call
out the national guard if necessary to
keep possession of the Executive
Mansion, declared that he recognizes
Mr. Glynn as the constitutional Gov
ernor of the Commonwealth and
w'ould respect any orders signed by
the Lieutenant Governor. This ren
ders Governor Sulzer helpless so far
as the military is concerned.
Mrs. Sulzer Is Prostrated.
Official notice to quit the duties of
Governor was tendered to Governor
Sulzer by Patrick H. McCabe, of the
Senate. Mrs. Sulzer, who is pros
trated over the attack made upon her
husband’s honesty, w'as in serious
condition to-day. Doctors were rush
ed from New York City to attend her.
Accompanied by a bodyguard of
strong-arm men, Governor Sulzer
walked from the Executive Mansion
to the Capitol shortly before noon.
Asked for a statment, he said:
“Not a word. I am now in the
hands of my counsel.”
A special detail of policemen also
was provided for the Governor’s
safety.
Await Ruling of Court.
Governor Sulzer told friends he
w'ould not relinquish the reins of
power until removed by the Court of
Impeachment, composed of the Sen
ate and a majority of the judges of
the State Court of Appeals, whirh will
sit September 18.
A number of friends greeted the
Governor after he arrived at the
Capitol. In answer to inquiries about
the condition of Mrs. Sulzer, he said:
“Mrs. Sulzer is seriously ill. We are
gravely concerned. She has been
hysterical and during the night w'as
in state of nervous collapse.”
In spite of this pathetic feature
the political enemies of the Gover
nor did not lessen their efforts. On
the other hand, it seemed that the
bitterness had increased.
With the details of the actual serv
ice of tho Governor out <»f the way,

shortly before noon Thursday by tak
ing strychnine. He had been despond
ent for several days over business af
fairs and also was in failing health.
His favorite sister, Mrs. Sophia
Smith, died Tuesday, and this seemed
to affect Grubb deeply.
The funeral of Mrs. Smith was held
Thursday morning, but Grubb said
that he did not feel well and would
not attend. Harvey Grubb, his 19-
year-old son, worrying about his fa
ther, also stayed away from the fu
neral services.

a drug store near his home and pur
chased a vial of strychnine, stating
that he wished to poison a dog. Short
ly after he returned to the house, his
son Harvey was aroused by groans
issuing from Mr. Grubb’s bedroom.
Rushing into the room, Harvey found
his father writhing on the bed. He at
once called the Grady Hospital, and
an ambulance made a record run to
the Grubb home. It was too late,
however, as Mr. Grubb died in his
son’s arms a few moments before the
ambulance arrived.
Mr. Grubb was one of the pioneer
citizens of North Decatur, and had
been a successful business man. He
is survived by his wife, Mrs. Eliza
beth Grubb; one daughter, Mrs. H.
Pierce, and four sons. Jack, Harvey,
William and Claude Grubb.
