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, 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 Reward Mexico and that it could not be considered an act of war. Asks Money for Protection. Senator Penrose asked that the res- j 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 spend $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 himself, restrained taemselves 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 anu the exact situa tion anu conditions in Mexico. "There is a growing sentiment in the United States of resentment,” said Senator Fall. ‘‘I believe the people ahould 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 gjad to furnish the Foreign Rela tions Committee with the facts in his possession which prompted him last week to attack William Rayard Hale, a personal representative of President Wilson in Mexico. Sulzer and Glynn Imbroglio Has Echo In Georgia Capitol That the Sulzer-Glynn gubernato rial mlx-up in New York State has a far-reaching effect was 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. Followin'” the indictment Reed fled to thfe 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 Sul- zer-Glynn imbroglio to interfere. The upshot of the whole matter now i& that Mr. Sulzer, erstwhile Governor of New York, according to the ruling of the Attorney General of that Stati, has the requisition papers for Reed in his pocket. The final disposition of the ematter has all the Georgia statehouse officials guessing. THAW PLEA DEFENDER OF FRANK WHO RIDICULES PROSECUTION Attorney Reuben Arnold, who opened the closing argument for the defense in the Frank trial.

Haral son, two Circuit Court judges of this district, prospective candidates for Congress in the Seventh Alabama District opposing Congressman John L. Bartlett, the incumbent, are barred from making the race be cause of a provision of the State Constitution which provides that a judge may not enter a campaign for any office during his term qn the bench. They could not make the race even though they resigned from the ju dicial offices. Fugitive Not to Appear at Writ Hearing Because of Danger of Deportation Arrest. ALBANY. N. 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 were sent to the Sec retary of Commerce and the Sec retary of State, as follows: “In the name of the State of 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.” Convicted Promoter Renewing Operations GADSDEN, Aug. 21.—Advices re ceived from Fort Payne ..re to the effect that E. C. Drew, who was con victed of using the mail to defraud in the operation of oil well prosper ing, and who has just secured his re lease under a $3,000 appeal bond, is renewing his operations and will have a drill at work at an earlv date. It was reported here to-day that Drew had been offered financial as sistance by Gadsden people, but the report could not be confirmed. Drew had little trouble in making bond. Many of the people of Fort Payne ap peared to be in sympathy with him. Mississippi Asylum Probe To Be Resumed JACKSON, MISS., Aug. 21.—The members of the legislative investigat ing committee have returned to Jack- son after an absence of several days and will once more take hold of the affairs of the lunatic asylum. It is understood that the expert ac countants who have had charge of this work will not be ready to report before the middle of next week, but in the meantime the/ have furnished the committee with a eood d?al of data on which it is expected that more trouble will be found for some of the employees.

Free Wool Is Urged By Nevada Senator WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—“I am heartily in favor of the free raw' w’ool provision of the tarifT 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.” 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. ShurtlelT 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 where he entered Canada and not turned over to New York.’ It w'as 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. Ill STATE’S 1 :5 Hail Ruins $50,000 North Dakota Crops MINOT, N. D., Aug. 21.—Fifty to seventy-five thousand dollars’ dam age to crops of Renville County re sulted from a terrific hailstorm. The damage extends from Tolley across the international boundary. The path of the storm was five i^iiles wide and more than thirty miles 1 $»g- MONTGOMERY, Aug. 21.—With delegates from almost every county In Alabama and visitors to the num ber of 50b. the Farmers’ Co-opera tive and Educational Union is in ses sion here. President Charles S. Barrett, of the national organization, is presid ing. His address on the opening day was received as the greatest and most valuable ever delivered In Ala bama. and he is the idol of his people for whom he is giving his time and talenta He said he has traveled thousands of miles, to every nook and corner of the United States, and that he was satisfied that the South had the best land, the best people and the prettiest women in the world. He called attention to the high class of the colonists from the North who were coming South, and said that what was wanted more than any other one thing was folks—real folks, who would add to the citizenship, and not foreign riff-raff. He cautioned the farmers against celling lands to capitalists, saying if the future was to be Judged by the past, that in the course of a few gen erations we would be on the same footing as Ireland, ruled by the land lords. Reports of officers showed that the Alabama Farmers’ Union was in splendid condition, and that numbers were being added to the fold from practically every county. The secretary-treasurer’s report showed a good financial condition. Many great improvements will be In augurated at this meeting. A perma nent business agent will be put on for Alabama, and by this means many thousands of dollars will be saved to the farmers. They are learning the value of co-operation, and the union is blazing the way. Co-operation between the farmer and the professional, business and working men was the keynote of all the speakers. The matter of affiliation, or co operation with the labor unions, has not been taken up as yet, but the farmers are ripe for the move, recog nizing the assistance the one can and will be to the other. If there are matt ers on W'hich they can not agree, then they will each handle the matter as best they can, but in the main co operation will be of great benefit to both. In entertaining the farmers Mont gomery. especially the Business Men’s League, is doing great work. There is nothing in Montgomery too good for the farmers, and the hospitality is appreciated. Suffragettes Cut London Phone Lines 1 EH IN FIGHT 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. V Suffragette jhad cut the wires. As a result of a knife battle fought within a few yards of the doors of the New Hope Church, in Cobh County, three miles out of Marietta, after prayer meeting Wednesday night, two men 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 is 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 chalngang on a charge of cursing before women. The Lemmings clan assert that he was not guilty, but had been railroaded to the chalngang through false testi mony. Wednesday night the w-arrlng 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 di rectly in front of the doors. Hot words were exchanged. Knives flashed and the battle began am*d the screams of the women and children. In a cold, cutting arraignment of the methods used to build up a case against Leo M. Frank, accused of the murder of Mary Phagan, Reuben Arnold, of the accused man’s defense, Thursday afternoon unsparingly flayed Jim Conley as a perjurer and willing tool in the hands of men determined to convict an innocent man. Arnold’s attack minced no words. It bristles with scathing denunciation and bitter ridicule. Its impassioned appeal was in terspersed with sardonic humor that made a hostile court room lauhg. But its humor was only in flashes. Otherwise it fairly rang with accusation and denunciation. Arnold charged that the state had deliberately perverted evry innocent action into a circumstance pointing to guilt. Link by link, he hewed away at the prosecution’s chain. He ridiculed the theory of a premeditated attack, declaring that none but God could have known that Mary Phagan was to call for her pay on Saturday—a holiday. He said the State's at tempt to prove premeditation was but an instance of its many “wild guesses,’’ From tim eto time Arnold centered his attack on Conley. He said that the had never heard of a witness who was so thoroughly convicted of lying being put forward as one to be believed. Arnold finished his address at 5:50 o’clock. 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. 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, Arnold 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. 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. 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. 1 want to distinctly impress upon you the correctness of our p^ition. W? 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 haveuhe rights and protection of the law Just as any want it distinctly understood that we other citizen, He js entitled to th*
