Special Envoy Reports Reply Is

— Denounces Dr. Hale. *
Special Cable to Tha Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY. Aug. 16.—Having
taken a first definite step In the ful
fillment of his mission here by getting
President \Yllson’a note into the hands
of the Mexican Government through
the United .States Embassy, John
Lind, Special Envoy from the United
States, to-day awaited a reply from
either President Huerta or Foreign
Minister Gamboa. The next move is
to be made by the Mexican Govern
ment. Mr. Lind Is said to have re
ported satisfactory progress.
Rumors prevail here that the Gov
ernment may try to deport Dr. W.
Bayard Hale,, special Investigator of
the State Department, because of the
nature of certain Information he Is
reported to have sent to Washing
ton. \
The Mexican press has criticised
Dr. Hale severely on his Mexican mis
sion. One paper went so far as to
accuse him of saying Mexico was to
become a territory under* the dQmln-
ion of the United States.
Dr. Hale has been in almost con
stant communication with Mr. Lind
sine© the latter's arrival, being under
Instructions from the State Depart
ment to turn over to Special Envoy
oil information in his possession re
lating to Mexican political affairs.
No confirmation could be obtained
of the rumor that President Huerta
is contemplating resigning in order
to perfect his political organization
so that he could be fiurc of election
to the presidency in October.
Tn view of the fact that Chapulte-
pec Castle was thrown open to-day
for the occupation of President Huer
ta, the rumor was doubted. Chapul-
tepec Castle was last occupied by
Francisco I. Madero, Jr., former Pres
ident.
Feeling of Relief
Obtains in Washington.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16—Another
milestone in Envoy Lind’s mission to
Mexico, the transmission of the Amer
ican program to President Huerta,
has been passed, and there is a dis
tinct feeling of relief In Administra
tion circles to-day.
No w'ord has been received from
Lind regarding his interview with
Frederico Gamboa. Mexican Minister
of Foreign Affairs, yesterday, but a
detailed report Is expected soon.
Washington believes Lind has suc
ceeded In conveying the American
proposals to Huerta In so diplomatic
and friendly a manner that the lat
ter can not object to them abruptly.

Failure of a shiper to affix tax tags to

while the absence of a tag showing the

of the Court of Appeals In the case of
Hlllls vs Comer.
The Court said: "Under the terms of

which has not been analysed is illegal,
and no contract made in pursuance of
such a sale is valid, but a sale of fer

McDermott, Chicago Congress
man, Accused in Connection
With Loan Shark Legislation.
Washington, Aug 16. —startled
by the testimony of T. H. McMichael.
former chief page of the House, con
cerning the official conduct of Repre
sentative James T. McDermott, of
Illinois, the Houho Lobby Investlga*-
ing Committee ha* decided, it i* said,
to make a preliminary report on Mc
Dermott to the House at the earliest
possible opportunity.
This report will be separate from
the committee’s proponed general re
port on the subject 6f lobbying and
when it Is presented It will be In
order for any member of the House
to move for McDermott’s expulsion.
If such a motion is made, it will be
necessary for the House to vote di
rectly on the question. According to
the rules, a two-thirds vote of the
membership is necessary to expul
sion.
Loan Sharks Rais* Funds.
Whether such act loti will be taken
depend* largely on the testimony of
four pawnbrokers of the District of
Columbia, who now are under sub-
pena by the committee. These pawn
broker®. according to McMichael,
rained a fund to defeat the District
loan shark bill which passed Congress
some time ago.
McMIchae.l testified that McDer
mott made a trip to the Hotel Na
varre. New York City, and there he
says he learned the money, or part of
it. was turned over to McDermott
McMichael admitted he never saw a
cent of the alleged fund. *
It was learned to-day that mem
bers of the committee believe this
phase of McMichacl’s testimony Is
the most serious matter they have
yet disclosed and constitutes a direct
accusation of bribery. Future testi
mony. they admitted, might entirely
disprove this.
8*archlight on McDermott.
Acting on this theory, the general
Investigation of lobbies which they
have been conducting was to-day
turned entirely Into an Investigation
of McDermott’s persoal conduct.
"Did McDermott vote for what the
pawnbrokers wanted?" McMichael
was asked.
"I don't know how he voted.”
McDermott put about $5,000 Into
an airship promotion scheme
Whether he lost it or not McMichael
did not know, but he knew that he.
McMichael, lost $500 of his own
money.
"When did McDermott tell you he
got $7,500 from the pawnbrokers In
connection with the loan shark hill?”
"After the loan shark bill became a
law.”
“What did he say?"
"Well. It was like this: I said.
'Well, the hill has passed;' he said,
'Well, I got mine;' 1 said. How
much did you really get out of it?’
he said, ‘About $7,500.’"
McMichael said that McDermott
has talked to him several times about
getting $7,500 from the pawnbrokers.
The committee may go into a re
port of a liquor lobby raising cor
ruption funds to defeat the reforms
proposed during the close of the
Cannon regime, which precipitated
the so-called rules fight.

on, California will give to the world
another luscious dried fruit—the dried
cantaloupe. They will turn into profit

ities of the dried article. McCall had
dumped a great, heap of cantaloupes
to one side, several breaking open. !
These dried and threw out such a

lent, and now cantaloupe growers
are drying all of their small melons. I
