B. Cook, American newspaper man, who ar- red in Atlanta Thursday from Mon- rey, Mexico, where he has been ice the beginning of the diplomatio changes between President Wilson d Provisional President Huerta, lich have brought the Mexican slt- .tion to its present crisis. Mr. Cook crossed the boundary line e week ago. As a newspaper man came in close touch with condi- ins in Mexico and from his obser- tions has been enabled to deduce e terrible consequences to the hun- eds of thousands of Americans ere should war be declared. These he portrays in the following tide: By F. B. COOK. Every American in Mexico has med himself. Bven the women rry pistols in their handbags. ieir homes are arsenals. Thousands of them are swarming ross the border into Texas. The lin which bore me from Monterey San Antonio was packed with nerican refugees. They carried Ith them their personal effects and e cash into which they had con- irted their business assets and real- Those whom they left behind 'em are following just as fast as ey can get away. The great danger to American resi sts of Mexico is not for those in e large cities so much as in the ral districts. In Monterey, where ere are probably 30,000 resident nericans, and in the City of Mex- 3, where there are twice that num- r, they are prepared to resist. Besides being armed they have irred their windows. Should the 0r8t come the American colonies in e larger cities could easily muster small but veritable army to protect emselves. . Helpless in Rural Districts. In the rural districts, however, here there are thousands of Ameri- ns practically helpless, matters D uld b> different. The mountains „ n ow bristling with roving bands, me of them semi-bandits, and but ie flash of a war would start them i a murderous . mpage which would ual the days of the Sioux and paehe. Very few Americans have decided stay and brave out the situation. Those who have, base their action on the close proximity of Uncle Sam’s troops who are massing along the border. It has been figured that ten hours after being ordered, the American soldiers could reach the City of Mex ico. This, of course, does not reckon the possibility of blockades. The troops would have to make the dis tance by rail and it would be the eas iest thin# in the world to tear up the tracks. Yet Americans with whom I discussed the matter declared they could hold out for at least ten days* A peculiar thing, I noticed, was that the American women were not as anxious to leave Mexico as were their husbands and fathers. The lure of the climate seems to have proven stronger than the fear of being mur dered. The Mexican climate is the most wonderful in the world, and, coupled with the romantic people, has a fascination hard to resist. People Seem Happy. Despite the uneasiness which pre vails In every city, the streets each night are filled with people, and the plazas, or parks, are crowded with gaily dressed throngs. Should the cry of war ring through the streets, though, it would find It armed, with al its fickleness. There Is ho room for argument even in the City of Mexico as to who would be the victor, should war be declared. Huerta—or Wurtha, as the Mexican Provisional President’s name is pro nounced—has a very unstable follow ing. The Mexican soldiery is but skin deep, and has but the one desire—to be on the winning side. It is said that all but the very loyalest of Huerta’s friends would not hesitate to join with the American force should it in vade the country. Yet, after a successful invasion, there would have to be a repetition of the old l.tdian warfare, to accom plish a final extermination of the mountain tribes. They are the most dangerous and least accessible people in the country. They owe allegiance to no faction and desire none. They would have to be put off on reserva tions as were the redskins. As the situation is now, Americans are not in danger, unless they bring it to themselves. They receive civil treatment from the natives so long as they accord such. The lawyers for Leo M. Frank Fri day were engaged in getting together every scrap of evidence possible to sustain them In their contention that the Jurors who convicted their client were intimidated or unduly influenced by the series of demonstrations out side the courthouse and Inside during the latter part of the trial. The newspaper accounts of the ova tions that were given Solicitor Dor sey and the popular acclaim which met every victory of his will form a large part in the showing which the defense proposes to make on this par ticular phase of its movement for a new trial. Witnesses have been found who will testify in regard to the applause, that broke out in the courtroom Sat urday rno»nk*sM^h*m.the Solicitor en tered to resume his argument to the jury. There was a spontaneous wave of hand-clapping. The defense will represent that it was impossible for Frank to rerelv? an impartial trial when the jurors could so readily observe the temper of the people. Frank “Man With Iron Nerve." A Pasting the lawyers with every means at his command is Frank him self. His coolness and confidence witn the sentence of death hanging over him have won him a reputation at the Tower for a man with an iron nerve. He greete his friends with the cheery manner and hearty handshake that he would employ in his office or in his home. There is no suggestion of the dejected and broken man condemned to be hanged. He discusses his case more freely than he did before the trial, but only to his friends. He Is observing his lawyers’ admonition as to interviews with the newspaper reporters. He has nothing to say to them. He even has changed his mind, it is under stood, in regard to the statement he planned to make in reply to the argu ment of Solicitor Dorsey. He was in tending to make it public If his at torneys ippfoved, but they have in structed him to have nothing to say at prepent. He is continuing hie work along this line, however. In preparation for the new trial which he is entirely confident of getting. When he Is not chatting with his friends he is looking over testimony that was given at his trial and is picking out the points In the address of the Solicitor which he maintains were based on false as sumptions and misrepresentations He has every appearance of a man engaged in ordinary business or pro fessional routine. In jeallty he is taking a remarkable role in the des perate fight to save himself from the gallows. That so much is at stake seems not to affect him in the least. He goes calmly and unhurriedly about his work in his quarters at the Tower. Declares He Is Innocent. He makes notations here and there on the testimony and on the address of the Solicitor. Occasionally he de sires to put something into writing, and he rails for the stenographer from the pencil factory. The stenographer comes and the prisoner dictates page after page of matter in much the same businesslike tones that he would acknowledge orders for the pencils which his concern manufactures. “I am innocent,” he has told his friends, "and aooner or later the world will know it. I am confident that my innocence will be proved, so there is no need for me to w^ry.” His wife and his mother have visit ed him. To them he has been as cheerful and optimistic as to his friends. He was the comforter when Solicitor Dorsey was bitterly excoriat ing Mm at the trial. He quieted his hysterical wife when the news of the Jury’s verdict reached the Tower. His altitude has been the same all thrush the week. Militants Who Beat Premier Sent to Jail Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND, Aug. 29.

The Premier has a black eye and numerous cuts and bruises. If it had not been for the Premier’s daughter, Miss Violet Asquith, the statesman probably would have been seriously injured, as he was taken unawares and could not defend him self. • Wants Son in Prison To Break Drug Habit In order that he may be sent to the penitentiary for a year and cured of the cocaine habit, the police are search ing for C. L. Mauldin, 22 years old, of Mountain View, who is supposed to be haunting some of the drug dens of At lanta.

War Cloud Draws Georgians to Army COLUMBUS, Aug. 28.—A recruit ing army station has been established In Columbus, and notwithstanding the fact that it has been opened less than two days, there have been a number of applications by young men who are desirous of trying army life. The possibility of a fight with Mex ico is having the effect of attracting a lot of attention among thoF*e fond of adventure, and a number of those who have joined have an idea that soonor or later they will have the privilege of going to Mexico and see ing actual service. ‘Eve Was Made From Adam's Backbone' PITTSBURG, Aug. 29. — Woman was made out of the backbone, not the rib, of Adam was a theory ad vanced by Mrs. Jessie Hardy Stubbs, of Chicago, who discussed woman's suffrage on Schenley lawn. "Read the first chapter of Genesis, not the twenty-fifth and twenty- sixth verses of the second,” declared Mrs Stubbs, “and you will find that God created man—male and female— at the same time. "And ev6n if it were true that woman was made out of man. it must have been out of the backbone of Adam, not a rib.” Screwdriver Clew To Peachtree Thief With an oily screwdriver as their only clew, detectives are searching for the burglars who entered the Gun ter-Wat kins Drug Company, at Wal ton and Peachtree streets, Thursday night and stole $5 in change from the cash register. The thieves removed one of the glass panels from the rear door on Walton street. The screwdriver was found on the sidewalk Friday morn ing. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29—Gov ernment attorneys in the white slave trial of F. Drew Oamlnetti to-day admitted that they were depending upon the testimony of Marsha War rington as their strongest evidence against Camlnetti, although the name ofi Lola Norris was linked with that of the' defendant in the elopir.ent to Reno. Miss Warrington’s testimony was effective in bringing about the conviction of Maury L. Diggs on the same charge. When the trial was resumed to-day the court attaches had the dally bat tle with the crowd of curious men and women. The story repeated by Marsha Warrington on the stand yes terday, which was to be comrfttded to-day, was the attraction. Federal Judge Van Fleet asked the court officers to Inform every young girl In the corridor that testimony was being given that was unfit for them to hear. This did not deter them, and all who could get in the van of the crowd sought seats in the courtroom, determined to hold them throughout the day. Wife and Girl Meet, For the first time since the story of her husband’s infidelity became public property, Mrs. Maury I. Diggs heard it yesterday from the lips of Marsha Warrington, "the other wo man.” Marsha told the same story she did In the Diggs trial. Mrs. Diggs sat just Inside the rail that divides the audience from the bar of the Court. She listened in tently, rigidly wincing at certain parts of the testimony. Concluding her testimony for the day Marsha Warrington walked to a seat at the table of counsel for the Government. Facing her, as she drew near, stood Mrs. Diggs at the table of counsel for the defense, staring her steadfastly In the face, with only the width of the aisle be tween the two tables separating them. The girl turned her head and looked away. Caminetti's Wife Absent. Midway between the two tables stood Diggs, who, after adjournment, joined his wife. He looked noncha lantly, first at one woman and then at the other, talking the meanwhile with Camlnetti. The girl’s story to-day was a somewhat curtailed repetition of her testimony in the Diggs trial and car ried her through the earlier stages of her experience with Diggs to the point where Diggs said scandal had surrounded them and began to urge the necessity of flight. Her exam ination will be resumed to-morrow. Whatever the testimony of Lola Norris may he, Camlnetti has an nounced that he will not dispute it. The prosecution has stated that It will attempt to prove that Miss Nof- rig was pure until she met Camlnetti and that it was in Reno that she yielded, after promise of marriage was made to her. Thus far the wife, children and mother of Caminetti have not ap peared in the courtroom. Start of Great Road Contest Is Made Promptly at 11 o'Clock. Dawson First Over Line.

United States Envoy Scored for Money Offer to Huerta—Move Called Dollar Diplomacy. WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—Thi Mexican situation showed no new phases in Washington to-day. Th€ 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. The next move must b e made by Lind, and the President has left the future policy of the United States, as far as the "peace mission” is con cerned, in Lind’s hands. If Lind takes any decisive action in the matter of returning to Mexico City, it will be a surprise to the Whits House, since he has given the Presi dent no program on what he intends to work. He has intimated that he would return to Mexico City If he saw any loophole in the second Gam boa note which might permit of fu ture negotiations, but has not yel said definitely that he would do so. The State Department has not heard from Lind since yesterday morning, when he communicated his views on the second Gamboa note. Lind Scored in Washington. Criticism of Mr. Lind’s indiscretion in his supplementary suggestions to General Huerta in which he holds out as a gait for the acceptance of the America program the support of this Government in gaining financial re sources from American hankers, 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. Critics of the Administration say it is dollar diplo macy in almost the identical form which caused the Knox administra tion of the State Department to be sa harshly denounced. Mexican dispatches received by the State Department to-day do not in dicate any anti-foreign outbreaks during the past two days.
