\ SLAVER.FACES 21 YEARS: Judge Walter S. Godbee and his bride, slain by his di vorced wife. SAN FRANCISCO, Auk 21.—Maury I. Diggs, State architect at 25 and now but 27 years of age, convicted >n a charge of violating the Mann white slave act In transporting Marsha Warrington from one State to an other for Immoral purposes, will he sentenced September 2. His attor neys announced to-day thr-t they will appeal the case. It was the unanimous opinion of the twelve Jurors before whom he was tried that he wai guilty on four of the six counts In the indictment Under the law the maximum penalty la five years In the penitentiary, a $5,000 fine, or both, on each count. Next Tuesday F. Drew Camlnettl, son of United States Commissioner of Immigration Camlnettl, will go on trla^ In the same court on the same charge. He eloped with Lola Norris to Reno, Nev. Diggs can be sent to the peniten tiary for twenty years on the four counts. An Indictment still stands against him for attempted suborna tion of perjury. Last night Diggs kept out of the Alameda County Jail by filing a bond for $20,000—$5,000 on each of the four counts. His old father and his fa ther’s partner and cousin, Marshall Diggs, the widely known Democratic leader, were sureties. Child Sleeps in Courtroom. While Diggs was facing conviction his little daughter Evelyn slept peacefully in the courtroom, In which she had prattled through the day. His young wife bit her lips and tried to look brave. His father and mother bowed their heads and seemed to aga In their seats as the minutes of the Jury’s deliberation dragged. The four counts on which Diggs was found guilty regarded the pur chase of the ticket f r the flight from Sacramento to Reno and the carrying off of the two girls. The first count alleged that he as sisted and aided In transporting Mar sha Warrington from Sacr; .ento to become his mistress. The second count accused him of assisting In transporting Lola Norris to Reno to be the mistress of F. Drew Camlnettl. The third count alleged that he purchased a ticket for Marsha War rlngton, and the fourth that he pur chased a ticket for Lola Norris. Unable to Agree on Two. On the other two counts there was a long wrangle and finally disagree ment. These were: That Diggs induced, persuaded and advised Marsha Warrington to go with him to Reno for Immoral pur poses. and that he Induced, persuaded and advised Lola Norris to go to Reno with F. Drew Camlnettl for Im moral purposes. While the women of the Diggs and Camlnettl families sat as If stunned arrangements for ball were made and the Jurors went away. Some of them said It was the story of Diggs himself on the stand that hurt his cause. "Cheer up, Maury," said Drew Cam lnettl, going up to his chum. "The fight Is not over yet. Stop looking so glum." But young Mrs. Diggs wept silent ly, while the defendant's mother seemed about to faint. Diggs refused to comment on his conviction. After his bonds had been filed he left with his wife and daugh ter for his father’s home In Berekeley. To Carrv U“» Appeal. Prosecutor Roche, following the re turn of the verdict, said that the United States Supreme Court has held that a person Is technically guilty of violating the Mann white slave law wnen he Induces i. woman to go to another State even to enter a dance hall, contending that It lays the woman open to a life of debauchery. Nat Coghlan, of counsel for the de fense. said it was the Intention to carry the case to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals on the ground that Judge VanFleet was guilty of reversible error In failing to deliver Instructions submitted to him by the defense on the ground that he prevented them from intro ducing testimony concerning Miss Warrington. "If we obtain no satisfaction In the United States Court of Appeals," said Coghlan, “we shall appeal to the highest tribunal of the land.’’ HARRY THAW’S PLEA UP TO HIGH OFFICIALS Resolution Calls for Protection of Foreigners by Establishment of Constabularies, ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 21.—Aid from the Federal authorities in Having Harry K. Thaw deported to New York State wii invoked to-day by Acting Governor Glynn end Attorney General Carmody. Telegrams wore, sent to the Sec retary of Commerce and the Sec retary of State, at followa: “In the name of tho State of New York, wo request that you ask Canadian Immigration au thorities to deport Harry K. Thaw to the State of New York. Haete it necessary.” SHERBROOKE. QUE., Aug 21.— The legal fight to prevent the de portation or extradition of Harry K. Thaw into New York by Canada was carried to the very seat of the Do minion Government to-day by W. L. Shurtleff, of counsel for Thaw Shurtleff left here for the Canadian capital to lay Thaw’s case before the Department of Immigration. Mr. Shurtleff said he would make a direct appeal for the release of Thaw on the ground that he is Il legally detained here. "We will ask ‘British Justice’ for Thaw," said Mr. Shurtleff. "If Thaw 18 to be sent out of this country, we contend he should be deported at the point where he entered Canada and not turned over to New York." It was learned that Mr. Shurtleff carried a promise from Thaw to the immigration authorities in Ottawa to leace Canada at once if allowed to choose his destination. This destina tion would be either Europe or South America. Judge Arthur Globensky postponed the hearing of arguments on Thaw s petition for freedom on a writ of ha beas corpus from 10 o’clock this morning until next Wednesday morn ing May Seek Further Delay. Thaw’s counsel said they would seek further delay until next Monday. After a long night conference, coun sel for Thaw decided that they would not produce the Matteawan fugitive in the Superior Court to-day on the writ obtained yesterday. It was supposed that Thaw’s law yers did not wish to subject him so soon to the danger of arrest by the immigration authorities. District Attorney E. A. Conger, of Dutchess County, New York (in which Matteawan is located), was unable to see Thaw until to-day, al though Sheriff Hornbeck, also of Dutchess County, who arrived here with Mr. Conger, was able to get to the prisoner. Hornbeck has in his pocket a warrant charging Thaw with Conspiring "against the peace and dignity of the State of New- York to escape from the State asylum at Mat teawan." An Investigation of the manner in which Thaw' came into possession of a railroad ticket for Detroit, Mich., is being made. The Dominion authori ties are not satisfied that Thaw bought the ticket himself. It was learned from an authorita tive source that immigration officers who are here plan to arrest Thaw on the ground that he smuggled his way into Canada If he gets his freedom on a habeas corpus writ. The village of St. Hermenegitde, where Thaw and his companions came into Can ada from the United States, Is not a port of entry. SPANISH LEADER DEAD. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.

In Scotland it Is always pronounced to rhyme not with "day,” but with ’’die/’ A petition signed by 214 attorneys of Atlanta was presented to Governor John M. Slaton Thursday morning at 11 o'clock asking that the new fourth Judge of the Atlanta Judicial Circuit, provided for In a bill passed by the last sestslon of the General Assembly, be appointed from among the mem bers of the Atlanta bar who have been residents of Fulton County for at lea9t three years. The petition was presented to the Governor by a committee of 25 law- years. of which Hollis N. Randolph is chairman, which was named at a meeting of the Atlanta Bar Associa tion soon after the passage of the bill. The committee, in transmitting the petition to the Governor, made it plain that the local attorneys ventured to make no suggestions as to whom he shall appoint, Inasmuch as the Gov ernor has for several years been a leading attorney of Atlanta and Is In timately acquainted with the qualifi cations and fitness of the local mem bers of the bar. The statement of the committee also calls the attention of the Gov ernor to the fact that the appoint ment of an Atlantan will In no way Interfere with the continued service of Judge L. S. Roan, of the Stone Mountain Circuit, who now presides over the criminal division of the Ful ton Superior Court. It is not thought that Governor Sla ton will announce his appointment until he returns from the conference of Governors at Colorado Springs next week, for which he expects to leave Saturday. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—Senator Penrose to-day Introduced a resolu tion in the Senate declaring it to be the sense of that body that the Presi dent of the United States should es tablish constabularies in Mexico and place in them a sufficient number of troops to protect the lives and prop erty of American citizens. The resolution also declares It to be the sense of the Senate: That it has been the policy of the United States to maintain the Monroe Doctrine. That the United States recog nizes its responsibility under this doctrine. That there is internal lawless ness and warfare'in Mexico. That the continuation of this condition will add to the compli cations there. That the first duty of the Unit ed States is to protect the lives and property of its citizens at home and abroad. That the extension of such pro tection will lessen the danger of foreign interference, *nd that it is not the policy of the United States to aid or assist any faction. Th'e resolution explains that in sending troops into Mexico for the purpose of protecting American citi zens and their property there was no intent of hostility toward Mexico and that It could not be considered an act of war. Asks Money for Protection. Senator Penrose asked that the res olution lie on the table, as he did not intend to discuss it to-day. He then introduced a proposed amendment to the first deficiency appropriation bill providing for an appropriation of $25,- 000,000 for the protection of lives and property of American citizens in Mex ico. This money is to be available at any time up to July 1, 1914. Senator Pen rose asked that this amendment also lie on the table. "American citizens in Mexico have their rights in international law and under the Constitution,’’ said Penrose. "Rather than appropriate a paltry $100,000 for the removal of these Americans from Mexico I would spenJ $25,000,000 to assure their safety and protection in Mexico." Owing to the seriousness of the Mexican situation, both Senators Ba con and Lodge of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee insisted that all matters pertaining to it should be referred to the Foreign Relations Committee. Republicans Protest. The renolution brought forth a storm of protest, chiefly from Repub lican Senators, who said they thought the President was doing everything possible to better conditions. Senator Smoot said he was op posed to intervention, and believed President Wilson was doing every thing that could be done. Senator Bacon (Georgia) said that many Sen ators, including himself, restrained themselves with difficulty when dis cussing the Mexican situation. Senator Fall, of New Mexico, urged that not only the Senate, but the gen eral American public, be given more information as to the policies of the Administration and the exact situa tion and conditions in Mexico. "There is a growing sentiment in the United States of resentment,” said Senator Fall. "1 believe the people Mhould be informed rather than in flamed.’* Senator Penrose consented that the resolution he introduced on previous days respecting the Mexican situation now be referred to the Foreign Rela tions Committee. He said he w r ould be glad to furnish the Foreign Rela tions Committee with the facts in his possession which promoted him las* week to attack William Bayard Hale, a personal representative of Tresiden: Wilson in Mexico. :$6 WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH AUG. 23 Round trip, six days.

Depositors In the City Savings Bank, which closed Its doors March 31, will get 30 or 40 per cent of their money in September, according to L. F. McClelland, receiver. It may be the bank will reorganize and resume business at a new loca tion and under a new name. Some of the officers of the City Saving* Bank have been trying hard to do this, but so far without result. Unless they are successful within the next week or ten days, Mr. Mc Clelland will ask permission from Judge Pendleton to declare a dividend early next month. At the same time he will ask the court’s permission to sell the assets. "I took charge May 27/' Mr. Mc Clelland said. "At that time deposits ivere about $57,000 and loans were $86,900. I have collected $17,000 in cash, and persons with checking ac counts have paid $7,000 on their notes the bank held. Therefore, loans have been reduced $24,000 to $62,900, and deposits have been reduced $7,000 to $50,000. "I have $17,000 cash on band against $50,000 deposits. By Septem ber I can probably pay 40 per cent. "I find an unexpected asset of about $3,000 In the shape of accrued inter est which was not listed In the state ment of condition given at the time the bank closed. This will help con siderably. “If the court will permit me to sell the $62,900 in notes, the depositors can be paid in full at once. In any event, they will get all their money, but it may take a long time. "There are 1,500 depositors with $1 each.” CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

RESINOL CURED ITCHING ECZEMA Years of Suffering—Immediate Re lief. CLEVELAND, OHIO, June 2. 1913:—"About eight years ago my hands would get very red—then little blisters would come with pus in them. They would itch, and burn so that I could not sleep at all. 1 used everything people told me about, and all kinds of blood treatments, but they did me no good. I wore out doz ens of pairs of rubber gloves, us ing them when working in water, and still the eczema stayed. "About three years ago I read about Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment. and at once bought some at the drug store. They gave me immediate relief, and after us ing two jars of Resinol Ointment and a cake of Resinol Soap, I can honestly say that my hands are cured. It has been three years already since I ara cured, and the eczema has not renirned. I really can’t say enough about Resinol." (Signed) Mrs. Chas. P. Winchester, 3204 Carroll Ave. Better proof, even than such a letter, is to try Resinol yourself and see how quickly the trouble disappears.
