must remain the firm friend of the
people of Mexico in their present
stress and trouble, President Wilson
to-day read his long awaited mes-
y ige on Mexican affairs to Congress.
The message was distinctly pacific
in tone and contains little in the
»ay of recommendation for future
policy except the single one that this
Government must urge earnestly that
h!1 Americans should leave Mexico at
once and that the United States
should assist them to get out of Mex
ico in every way possible.
The President counsels delay be
fore further action is taken and says:
"Impatience on our part would be
childish and would be fraught with
every risk of wrong and folly. Tha
door is not closed against the re
sumption, either upon the initiative of
Mexico or upon our own, of the ef
fort to bring order out of the confu
sion by friendly co-operative action,
s lould fortunate occasiorf offer.
Must Await Understanding.
“So long as the misunderstanding
continues We can only await the time
of their awakening to a realization
to the actual facts. We can not
thrust our good offices upon them.
The situation must be given a little
more time to work itself out in the
new circumstances, and I believe that
only a little while will be necessary.
The circumstances are new. The re
jection of our friendship makes them
new and will inevitably bring its own
alterations in the whole aspect of af
fairs. The actual situation of the au
thorities at Mexico City will presently
be revealed.”
President Wilson's message is un
expectedly brief and closes with the
statement that several of the great
Governments of the world have given
the United States their eenerous mor
al support in urging on the provision
al authorities at Mexico City the ac
ceptance of our proffered good of
fices in the spirit in which they were
made. The President relates the cir
cumstances leading up to the Lind
mission and all the facts in connec
tion with it.
His recommendations are less dras-
’.i and less conclusive than was ex
pected.
The President's Message.
The messag follows:
Gentlemen of the Congress—It is
clearly my duty to lay before you very
fully and without reservation the fact,
concerning our present relations with
the republic of Mexico. The deplorable
posture of affairs in Mexico 1 need

neighbor, and to American citizens
whose lives and vital Interests are

ditions wftich now obtain beyond our

nearly. Not met lv because they lie
at our very doors. That, of course,

NEW YORK. Aug. 27.—Mayor
William J. Gaynor announced to
day through his secretary, Robert
Adamson, that he will be a candi
date for re-election upon an in
dependent ticket. It is expected
that Mayor Gaynor will issue a
statement within 24 hours defin
ing his platform.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—The
Democratic caucus l a te to-day
amended the Glass currency bill
to provide that members of the
banks in the Federal reserve sys
tern shall keep only reserves of
gold. The bill originally provided
that reserves might be of gold or
lawful money. The effect of the
amendment is to bar greenbacks
from ebing classed as legal re
serve.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.—The
American Smelting and Refining
Company's plant at Velavrona
has been forced by the Mexican
rebels to cast a number of cannon
for use against the federal troops,
according to late dispaches to the
State Department to-day.
ELGIN, ILL., Aug. 27.—Spencer
Wishart, driving a Mercer over
the Kane County race circuit, in a
trial soin to-day broke the record
for the track. He made the cir
cuit of 8 miles in 6:44, averaging
74.5 miles per hour. Wishart was
practicing for the toad races ehre
Friday and Saturday. The form
er record was 6:53, made by Ted
dy Tetzlaff last year.

ord of 2:05 on mile track, won at

Lion on Operating
Table at Grady to
Have Broken Leg Set
A 3-month-old lion cub Is the most
unique patient ever treated at the
Grady Hospital. It was placed on the
operating table for a broken foreleg.
Surgeons at Grady set the bones and
placed the leg in a plaster cast. The
treatment accorded the animal was a*
carefully given as though it had beet»
a human.
The cub was born at Grant Park.
The manner in which it was injured i.-‘
not known, but it is believed that the
bone had not sufficiently hardened re
uphold the weight of the animal's
body.
When Keeper Boyd discovered the
injury, he bound the leg in splints
The cub tore these off repeatedly, and
now the plaster cast has been si’bsti-
tuted.

Waleska, Ga.
they were unrecogi izable,” he con
tinued. “He altered everything that
was said and everything that was
done until it seemed to point to my
guilt. If 1 could have spoken only
briefly after he finished his eight-
hour speech I could have shown, I am
sure, that he departed from the facts
of the case wherever it suited him.
“I am preparing a statement in re
ply to his argument to the jury w hich
I propose to make public, if my law
yers think it advisable. In it I will
point out exactly how the Solicitor
warped the testimony and the facta
to suit his own convenience. I know
that these misstatements of his had
their influence with the Jury'- and that
is why I am rebelling against the un
fairness of the situation.”
Frank Still Optimistic.
Frank, according to his friends, was
as optimistic as ever Wednesday in
regard to the ultimate outcome of his
case, but was somewhat downcast
over the wave of sentiment against
him. He said !’e could not under
stand how people could be so certain
of his guilt when the testimony was
circumstantial in the extreme, except
for that of Conley, who was an ad
mitted liar and perjurer.
Rabbi Marx. Emil Selig. Prince
Myers, Sig Montag, Milton Kline and
Herbert Schiff were among Frank's
visitors Wednesday. Mr. Sellg.
Frank's father-in-law, remained at
the Tower from 8:45 until about
11:30.
Schiff brought with him a stenog
rapher from the pencil factory and
F'rank dictated a number of letters
and also fome matter in connection
with his own case. The former su
perintendent is compiling In compact
form all of the important testimony
at the trial so that he more readily
may refer to it when he comes to
make his reply to Dorsey.
He sent for his. diary and for a
quantity of paper while Schiff was
with him and the two worked to
gether for more than an hour.
An indictment of Jim Conley,
charging him with being accessory
after the fact in the murder of Mary
Phagan will be asked at the first ses
sion of the next Grand Jury*, accord
ing to the present plans of Solicitor
General Dorsey.
. The new' Grand Jury will meet the
first week in September, and prob
ably will have the request of the So
licitor for the indictment of Conley
as the first business for its disposal.
The maximum sentence for this of
fense is three years, but it is thought
that Conley, as a self-confessed ac
cessory and a State's witness, will
get off more lightly than the maxi
mum.
Frank told friends Wednesday that
he was planning to have a large part

stltuted against the judge.
The resolution was passed just a
few minutes before President Wil
son appeared before the joint ses
sion to read his message on Mexico.
Just as soon as the House convened
Chairman Clayton asked unanimous
consent for the immediate considera
tion of the resolution and ,jt was at
once taken up at the point it was
left off yesterday'.
Representative Nelson, of Wiscon
sin, Republican, made a short speech
pointing out principally that Judge
Speer had written to the Judiciary
Committee that he was innocent of
the charges and demanding that an
Investigation be made. The galleries
were rapidly filling with visitors who
wanted to see and hear President
Wilson, and the noise and confusion
w*ere so great that few could hear
Mr. Nelson. When he concluded he
received scattering applause.
Clayton Reads Charges.
Chairman Clayton then arose.
“Mr. Speaker,” he said, “in view of
the publicity given these charges aim
the further fact that a reque.si
amounting to a demand has been
made by members of this House for
information, I shall now' proceed to
read a synopsis of the charges made
against Judge Speer, which have been
under consideration by the Judiciary
Committee.”
Chairman Clayton proceeded to
read the charges.
“In addition.” he said, "we have
many affidavits and photographs of
documents. Altogether the record is
very bulky. I hold it in my hand
now. that the members of the House
may see it.”
Chairman Clayton held up a large
package, containing apparently hun-*
dreds of pages of record.
“The committee has decided that
beyond the statement already given
to the House nothing further shall
be disclosed in the case until the in
vestigation is taken up," he said.
Involves Son-in-Law.
The twenty charges read by Chair
man Clayton were as follows:
“.Violation of section 67 of the
judicial code, in allowing his son-
in-law*. A. H. Heyward, to be
appointed to and employed in of
fices and duties iu his court.
“Violation of the bankruptcy
act in allowing compensation in
excess of the provisions of that
act to a trustee, who was his
personal friend.
“Violation of the laws in draw
ing juries.
“Violation of a mandate of the
Supreme Court of t-he United
States.
“Oppressive and corrupt use
