Georgia Man is Held For $20,000 Forgery
Harry Endicott Is Third in Big El
gin Contest, and Others Are
Trailing Hopelessly.
ELGIN, Aug. 29.—DePalma, in
a Mercer, won the Chicago Auto
mobile Club’s 301-mile road race
here to-day.
ELGIN. ILL., Aug. 29.—With seven
laps around the 8 1-2 mile course to
go, .Ralph DePalma was driving his
Mercer car to its utmost to retain his
lead in the 301-mile race this after
noon.
Joe Dawson in a Deltal was second
with about five minutes separating
him from DePalma. Harry Endicott
was third, more than three laps be
hind. DePalma and the other three
remaining contestants were trailing
far behind him.
When 234 milese had been covered
by DePalma, the standing of the cars
were:
First, DePalma, Mercer; second,
Dawson, Deltal; third, Endicott, New
York Berg; fourth, Chandler, Mason;
fifth, Wishart, Mercer; sixth, Ricken-
bacher, Mason.
DePalma’s time for this distance
was 2:14:06.
DePalma in Race.
Dalph DePalma was at the wheel
of the Mercer, which was entered as
Ed Pullen’s mount. The noted Italian
driver at first declined to enter to
day’s race, electing to save his ener
gies for to-morrow’s race when he
will defend the Elgin cup, which ne
won last year. The announcement
that DePalma would drive was greet
ed by thunderous applause from the
stands. He was an equal favorite
with Dawson.
At the eleventh hour Harry Endi
cott was permitted to enter the race
with his Nyberg car. The A. A. A.
had barred cars of the Nyberg make
from sanctioned meets without giv
ing a reason. Endicott and his broth
er, “Bill” Endicott, who will drive in
to-morrow’s races, showed papers
proving that they owned the Nyberg
racers as individuals. The car name
entered to-day was changed on the
program to “Endicott Special.”
DePalma gave the crowd near the
first curve a thrill on his first lap
when his machine missed by inches a
gate that stood open. The Italian
. race pilot has said that he always
enters a race expecting to have thres
narrow escapes.
Course Dangerous in Spots.
Thv . U uise on the back stretch was
rough and dangerous spots appeared
after the cars made their first lap.
The timers Announced Dawson’s
first lap was made in 6:25, which
was 20 seconds under the fastest lap
ever made on the Elgin course.
DePalma had his second narrow es
cape in his third lap when his car
bumped over the rough traJck near the
“Hairpin turn,” left the course and
plowed up a field of com for nearly
100 yards. He righted the car and
was back on the track with little loss
of time and no apparent damage to
his car.
The grandstand crowds were treated
to a real brush when DePalma.who had
fallen back to second place, urged his
car to the last speed notch and pass
ed the Mason car piloted by Chandler.
DePalma was 23 seconds behind Rick-
enbacher on the sixth lap. He re
gained the lost ground in a burst ol
speed and passed the Mason driver on
& narrow portion of the back stretch
BIRMINGHAM, Aug, 29.—Mil
dred Johnson, a young woman
from Atlanta, was painfully hurt
in an automobile accident to-day
on the Mount Pinson road.
Frances Copeland and two men
in the machine were also hurt.
LONDON, ONT., Aug. 29.—Fire
of incendiary origin burned five
buildings on the Ontario Exhibi
tion Grounds here to-day, doing
damage estimated at $200,000.
Chattanooga Girl
‘Tangoes’ Her Way
To Jail in Chicago
Savannahan Says Spite Caused
His Trouble, and It All Came
From Business Deal.
CHICAGO, Aug. 29.—Eight news
boys, a dozen taxicab chauffers and a
miscellaneous crowd of more than 200
of the "common people" stood at
Clark and Randolph streets at mid
night and watched two policemen
trying to arrest two women who in
sisted on tangoing their way to the
police station.
The women were Mrs. E. F. Wirth,
wife of a druggist living at No. 2673
West Washington boulevard, and
Miss Lucile Lowrey, who says she is
a Chattanooga, Tenn., society girl,
visiting at the Hotel Warner. The
two, in company with a party of about
six friends, entered a cafe shortly aft
er 10 o’clock. They dined—and had
liquid refreshments as well.
Mrs. Wirth and Miss Lowrey evinc
ed a desire to tango—and did. The
way they did it was distasteful to
Manager Corbett of the cafe, and he
asked the pair to leave the floor.
They refused. Corbett sent for po
lice assistance, and Patrolmen Con
don and Dodd responded.
The fair but unquenchable danc
ers were landed on the street in good
shape, but there they again insisted
on dancing. It took three-quarters
of an hour to get the women to the
Central detail, but Condon and Dodd
stuck to the job.
U, S. Likely to Order
Army-Navy Game
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—Not
withstanding the determination of
the athletic associations of West
Point and Annapolis not to play the
annual football game this fall, it is
more than likely that the Secretaries
of War and Navy will issue a per
emptory order that the game be play
ed on Franklin Field, Philadelphia,
either on Thanksgiving Day or the
Saturday preceding or following that
day. %
Secretary of the Navy Daniels said
he would have a conference with As
sistant Secretary of War Brecken-
ridge and discuss the matter thor
oughly.
NEW YORK. Aug. 29—Completing
the details of his "wedding, scheduled
for to-night, Robert J. Norton, a
prominent business man of Savan
nah, Ga., was arrested in the home
of Miss Edna Robinson, the prospec
tive bride-to-be, in Brooklyn to-day
on a warrant charging forgery. Tne
warrant was sworn out by the Chief
of Police of Savannah.
According to a telegram received In
Brooklyn headquarters to-day, Norton
is wanted in Savannah for the alleged
forgery of a check for $20,000, which,
it was said, he cashed there shortlv
before coming North to prepare for
his wedding.
Despite his prtoestations of inno
cence, Norton was arraigned before
Magistrate Steers, who held him !n
$2,500 bail for a further hearing on
September 3.
“My arrest is an outrage,” stated
Norton. “There is nothing but spite
behind this affair. I can not under
stand why they pick out this time,
the eve of my wedding to a respecta
ble woman, to place me in this pre
dicament. The forgery they charge
me with was no forgery at all, but a
business deal pure and Simple. I’ll
make somebody suffer when I reach
Savannah.”
MisS Robinson accepted Norton s
claim that his arrest was without
cause, and said that they would be
married Just as soon as he was ready.
Check Said To Be
Drawn on Mother.
SAVVANNAH. GA., August 29.—
Robert J. Norton, under arrest in
Brooklyn, where he was to have been
married to-night, is wanted here for
forging and passing a check signed
with the name of his mother, who is a
wealthy woman.
His intention to marry was not
known among his friends here until
after his arrest.
The police of Savannah and other
cities have been searching for him
since the discovery of the forgery.
He is widely known in Savannah.

, State Department
Press Agent Named
WASHINGTON. Aug 29.—The ap
pointment of John H. James, a news- 1
1 paper man of T’rbana, Ohio, to be chief
of the bureau of information of the
State Department, was announced to-
i day by Secretary of State iirjaii.
The request of a mother, Mrs. Syl
via Hawkins, of Gainesville, who faces
a life term in the penitentiary for the
slaying of her husband, to take her
3-year-old child to prison with her
will not be granted.
This decision was announced Fri
day morning by Secretary Yancey of
the Georgia Prison Commission, who
declared that under no circumstances
could the desire of the mother be
fulfilled, as it was contrary to the
spirit of the law.
Although Mrs. Hawkins never has
formally written to the Prison Com
mission, she has conveyed in various
ways, it is said, her desire to have
her child in prison with her.
According to the Prison Commis
sioners the final commitment papers
of Mrs. Hawkins never have been
forwarded to them and until this is
done no official decision will be made.
However, it is settled definitely that
the mother will not be permitted to
tu^j; her child into the State prison.
No Danger to Foreigners in Mex
ico, Asserts Huerta, Following
Wilson’s Message,
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 29.-—Trains
leaving this city to-day for Vera
Cruz carried many Americans, who
are following the advice of President
Wilson to get out of Mexico and thus
escape the dangers of warfare.
However, many members of the
American colony, not alone here, but
in the other cities, are. remaining. It
is estimated that not more than 10
per cent of the American residents
in the republic will flee, unless the
situation becomes much worse than
it really is now.
Many American families, including
women and children, are remaining.
Consul General Shanklin issued a
manifesto directed to American resi
dents of Mexico, quoting President
Wilson’s advice that foreigners leave
Mexico.
More Than 2,000 to Stay.
A number of influential American
residents who have all their posses
sions invested here, have decided to
stay until actually forced out by the
dangers of war.
They believe that if they should
leave the country they would not be
able to collect indemnity for damage
to their property. It is believed that
between 2,000 and 3,000 Americans
will stick to Mexico City.
Mexican officials profess to believe
that the exodus is unnecessary or at
least premature. President Huerta
continues to declare that foreigners
are safe in this country and would
be protected even in the event of war.
President Not Back
Of Lind’s Offer of Loan.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—The
Mexican situation showed no new
phases in Washington to-day. The
second Gamboa note has acted as a
damper on whatever hopes were held
that a solution of the problems now
confronting Mexico might be reached
on the basis of the supplementary
suggestions made in Envoy Lind's
second note.
Criticism of Mr. Lind’s indiscretion
in his supplementary suggestions to
General Huerta in which he holds out
as a bait for the acceptance of the
American program the support of this
Government in gaining financial re
sources from American bankers, is
growing in Washington.
The President has indicated that
Lind made this step practically on his
own initiative and has not yet signi
fied his approval of it. Critic® of the
Administration say it is dollar diplo
macy in almost the identical form
which caused the K..ox administra
tion of the State Department to be so
harshly denounced.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
VERA CRUZ, MEXICO, Aug. 29.—
Closes* secrecy to-day surrounded the
movements of John Lind, the special
envoy of President Wilson, who came
here with pacification proposals.
Mr. Lind was still here this morn
ing. but refused to say whether or not
he would go to Mexico City during the
day to attempt to reopen negotiations
with the Mexican Government.
“I am under obligations to keep
silent.” said Mr. Lind. “I would be a
