"Can parents s<end 5-year-old boys by parcel post?" she inquired. "I want to 9end my son to Augusta and I thought it would be so nice to send him by parcel post.

Y., Aug. 21— Aid from the Federal authorities in having Harry K. Thaw deported to New York State was invoked to-day by Acting Governor Glynn and Attorney General Carmody. Telegrams w«r\ sent to the Sec retary of Commerce and the Sec retary of State, as follows: "In the name of the State of the sense of the Senate: That it has been the policy of the United States to maintain the Monroe Doctrine. Tfiat 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, and that it is not the policy of the United States to aid or assist any faction. The 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 discus 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 resolution 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 himsetf, restrained themselves with difflculty^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 th-3 Administration and the exact situa tion and conditions in Mexico. "There is a growing sentiment in the United States of resentment," said Senator Fall. "I believe the people, should 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 would be glad to furnish the Foreign Rela tions Committee with the facts in his possession which promoted him la^ week to attack William Bayard Halo, a personal representative of President Wilson in Mexico. BOSTON, Aug. 21.—The "fore and aft” skirt created a sensation in Cambridge streets to-day, when a young woman wearing one was seen promenading Harvard Square. The skirt had a very slight slash, w'hich allowed an emerald petticoat and silken hose to wink coquettishly an she walked. By leaving one side buttoned all the time the garment may be wrapped about the waist as one piece of cloth. All that remains to do is to button up the one side. Result: The coiffure is not disar ranged and the young man does not have to miss the first act waiting for "Snooky Ookums" to dress. High Cost of Walking Now Confronts Us CHICAGO. Aug. 21.—Shoes that cost $2 to $2.50 to-day may cost $5 and $7 in a few' years. This gloomy pre diction was made by J. Harry Selz, newly elected president of a million- dollar shoe manufacturing corpora tion. The reason, he told the assembled salesmen of his company, was the alarming decrease in cattle produc tion in the United States. Millionaire Taking Woman's ‘Fast Cure' SEATTLE. WASH., Aug 21.—Rob ert Graham, the millionaire British bread king, is taking the "fast cure" under the notorious Linda Burfield Hazzard. despite the warning of the British Vice Consul that several Brit ish subjects have been starved to death. For thus killing one of her patients, this woman is now under sentence to the penitentiary. Bryan to Stump for Democrat in Maine WASHINGTON, AUg. 21.—Secre tary of State Bryan will do his first electioneering since becoming a mem ber of the Cabinet, early in Septem ber. He will spend two days in Maine trying to elect William R. Pettengill as Representative from the Third Maine District. The death of Repre sentative Goodwin caused the va cancy. ‘Tango’ and ‘Trot’ on Last Legs in Chicago CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—Last rites were being prepared to-day for the tango and the turkey trot in Chi cago restaurants and cafes following the action of the City Council in adopting an ordinance prohibiting these dances and barring the wearing of tights in cabaret performances. Mayor Harrison said he would sign the ordinance in time to make it ef fective August 30. THE WEATHER. Forecast for Atlanta and Georgia—Fair Thursday and Friday. New York, we request that you ask Canadian immigration au thorities to deport Harry K. Thaw to the State of New York. Haste is 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 is to be sent out of this country, we contend he should be deported at the point w'here 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 2 o'clock this after noon in the Superior Court. 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 w’as 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 ha« 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. Suffragettes Cut London Phone Lines Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. LONDON, Aug. 21.—Part of Lon don was isolated to-day, so far as telephone communication was con cerned. Suffragettes had cut the wires. DEFENDER OF FRANK WHO RIDICULES PROSECUTION j Attorney Reuben Arnold, who opened the closing argument for the defense in the Frank trial. WITH KNIVES As a result of a knife battle fougnt within a few' yards of the doors of the New Hope Church, in Cobb County, three miles out of Marietta, after prayer meeting Wednesday night, two mep are dead, one is probably fatally wounded and a fourth is held by a Coroner’s verdict on a charge of murder. The dead are Fred Lemmings and John McElroy. John Harper has wounds in a shoulder and lung and fs in a serious condition. Fred Harper is held by the Coro ner's Jury charged with killing Lem mings. The trouble between the Harpers and the Lemmings dates back to the last term of the Cobb County Su perior Court, when Charles Lem mings, a brother of Fred Lemmings, was sentenced to the chaingang on a charge of cursing before women. The Lemmings clan assert that he was not guilty, but haJ been railroaded to the chaingang through false testi mony. Wednesday night the warring clans met at the doors of New Hope Church. When the pastor pronounced the benediction and the congregation filed slowly out of the little church, the warring families met almost li- rectly in front cf the doors. Hot words were exchanged.' Knives flashed and the battle began amid tne screams of the women and children. Sulzer and Glynn Imbroglio Has Echo In Georgia Capitol That the Sulzer-Glynn gubernato rial mix-up in New' York State has a far-reaching effect w'as indicated at the Georgia Capitol Thursday wher the Governor found his hands tied in connection with efforts to have Ho mer Reed extradited from New York. Reed is charged with bad stock ma nipulation in Appling County. Following the fndictment Reed fled to the District of Columbia and later to New York when Governor Joe Brown made efforts to have him ex tradited just before he retired from office. In the meantime the matter was held up just long enough for the Sui • zer-Glynn imbroglio to interfere. The upshot of the whole matter now it that Mr. Sulzer, erstwhile Governor of New York, according to the ruling of the Attorney General of that Stat;, has the requisition papers for Reed in his pocket. The final disposition of the ematter has all the Georgia statehouse officials guessing. Free Wool Is Urged By Nevada Senator WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.—"I am heartily in favor of the free raw wool provision of the tariff bill,’’ declared Senator Pittman of Nevada, one of the greatest wool-producing States in the country “I am firmly convinced that the provision is for the best Interest of my State and other States." Postmaster Hugh L. McKee Wed nesday denounced as false the state ment that he would comply with the demand of First Assistant Postmaster General Roper and resign his position as postmaster of Atlanta. "Most emphatically do I assert," said Mr. McKee, "that I will fight the recent request of the department. Had my resignation merely been requested on the grounds that the Administra tion wished to appoint another man, a member of the Democratic party, in my place, I most certainly w’ould have complied with teh request at once. "In the letter demanding my resig nation it was stated that charges of inefficiency had been filed against me. I will not resign without knowing what these charges are. I am guilty of absolutely ng violation of any rules of the PostofiifS> Department and can disprove any charges. "While it is true that perhaps I am not familiar with ail the minor de tails of the postal erevice, I have men under me who are familiar with them. All complaints come to me. Hence I know when everything is running smoothly. Mr. Cole, my assistant, is competent to hanole all financial mat ter?, and my superintendent of mails, Mr. Hart, is a man with eighteen years' experience in the postal service. Reuben R. Arnold, defending Leo M. Frank against the charge of a brutal murder, with all ofthe eloquence at his command in his argument to the jury Thursday, placed on the prejudice of race the responsibility for what he described as one of the worst conspiracies against a man’s life that ever had come before a Georgia court. His address followed a scathing arraignment of Frank by Frank A. Hooper, who opened the argument for the State and demanded the conviction of the defendant on the plea that the evidence presented left no other conclusion than of Frank’s guilt. Arnold declared that in order to get a case having any sem blance of merit against Frank, the State had been compelled to draw many of its witnesses from the dregs of humanity, had been forced to depend upon the ever-shifting stories of “the black prince of perjurers, the miserable Jim Conley,” and had been driven to change its own theories from time to time, discrediting its own witnesses as they changed. \ Charges Efforts To Make Time Agree. Directing his remarks as much to the counsel for the State as to the twelve men in the jury box, he charged that in order to place Frank’s life in jeopardy, Solicitor Dorsey and his colleague, Hooper, had gone to the extreme length of assuming on the one hand that the street car on which Mary Phagan came to town was several minutes ahead of time and on the other that the clock at the factory was five or ten minutes behind time. They had established by their own witness, George Epps, he said, that Mary arrived in town at 12:07 o’clock and then forth with had started out to destroy Epps ’ testimony and arouse the assumption that she got in town at 12:02 or 12:03. Arnold was only well started on his address when recess came at 12:30. He began a review of all of the circumstances preceding and following the crime as soon as court opened in the afternoon. Through all the day Frank’s mother and wife sat by him. The younger Mrs. Frank sat much of the time with her arm linked with that of her husband. Very little change in the appearance of the three persons was observable. Frank smiled slightly when Hooper satirically was describing Frank’s actions at the Selig home Saturday night when he is said to have interrupted a card game which was in progress by the relation of a funny story he had read in a magazine. Hooper Emphasizes Gantt* s Trip to Factory. Mr. Hooper emphasized various features of the State’s case that had not been clearly brought out before, dwelling particularly on the incident of J. M. Gantt’s visit to the factory on the after noon of the tragedy and how Frank had at first refused to let him enter, and how the accused man had called up Newt Lee, the watchman, later, fearful, said Hooper, that Gantt had discovered something. Arnold to Attack Every Argument. After Hooper had finished his argument he began presenting authorities to the judge to guide him in making his charge to the jury. He declared that the jury should not be charged that direct evidence was superior to circumstantial evidence. Attorney Reuben Arnold, opening for the defense, had pre pared an exhaustive review of the evidence, planning to attack every argument made by the State no matter how apparently un important. It seemed probable that Mr. Arnold would talk most of the afternoon. Luther Rosser will follow him. He has stated that he will not talk more than two hours at the most, and Solicitor Dor sey will close with what is expected to be the masterpiece of his career. The Solicitor will be unsparing in his words and go into greater detail in discussing the evidence against Frank. Before Thursday’s session began Frank had expressed him self as entirely confident of the outcome. “I am certain that I will be acquitted and set right before the world,” he said. “It has been a terrible ordeal, but I await the outcome with the ut most confidence.” "May It please your honor and gen tlemen of the jury," began Mr. Hoop er, "the object of this trial, as of all other cases, is the ascertaining of truth and the attainment of justice. I want to distinctly impress upon you the correctness of our position. Wj want it distinctly understood that we are not seeking a verdict of guilty unless this man is guilty. "We want it distinctly understood that the burden of proving him guilty is on our shoulders. We recognize that this has got to be done beyond a reasonable doubt, and from the evi dence. We cheerfully assume this burden. "There is not one connected with the prosecution who would see a hair of the head of this man injured wrongfully. "We want him to have the rights and protection of the law just as any other citizen. He is entitled to the
