Consul General Shanklin in Mexico
City has been authorized to furnisn
passage money to any Americans who
are temporarily out of funds. In spite
of the protestations of the Mexican
Government that all foreigners arv
safe, both Mr. Shanklir and Charge
d'Affaires Nelson O’Shaughnessy are
urging Americans to leave at once.
The insistency with which Ameri
cans are warned to leave the country
has angered certain men of President
Huerta’s Cabinet.
“Thi# is not a country of brigands
and boxers." declared Senor Gamboa.
"We are able to protect all foreign
peoples. It is not necessary for them
to leave,”
Dr. Urrutia, Minister of the Interior
and the firebrand of the Mexican Cab
inet. denounced the warning as a trick
on the part of President Wilson to
mislead other nations as to the actual
conditions here.
“Foreign countries are led to believe
that a state of anarchy prevails ail
over Mexico, but as a matter of fact
the greater part of the country is
tranquil,” declared Urrutia.
There wil} be a big demonstration
in Mexico City to-morrow.
Rumors of war are rife in local
politics The principal issue is the
new charter for Atlanta. Refore
September 30 the city is expected to
be infected with “charterltis.” Can
didates for the places of alderman and
councilman are beginning to hustle.
Factional loyalty will have Its ef
fect on the fate of the charter, which
was authorized by the recent Leg
islature and which must now be
passed upon by the citizens before
It goes into effect. The split which
hae characterized local politics for
many years is coming to the surface.
Mayor Woodward charges that the
charter adopted by the Legislature is
not the one asked for by the people
in mass meetings and that his old-
time political foes have drawn it up
to* suit themselves. "Woodwards”
against the "Anti-Woodwards” bids
fair to he the line-up in this charter
fight.
Secret Caucus Held.
The antis held two secret caucuses
this week. The Mayor has been in
conference with his friends a number
of times. A solid Woodward ticket
on the charter issue is expected to
be announced next week.
One of the prettiest fights in this
primary will be in the race for coun
cilman from the Eighth Ward. John
S. Owens» against W. A. Hancock be
ing the line-up in the fight for the
piece to be vacated hy .lease M.
Wood. These men an dtheir friends
have been busy the last ten days.
Talk in the Third Ward is that Or
ville H. Hall will enter the race for
alderman against the incumbent
James E. Warren. Mayor Pro Tern,
while J. G. Harrison also is running.
This promises to be a hot three-cor
nered fight.
The Fourth Ward will present a
pretty fight for the aldermanic and
councilmanic places. Councilman Al
bert Thompson will run for aider-
man. A. W. Farlinger will oppose
him. In the scramble for the place
of councilman will be R. E. George
and Lee llagan. Dr. B. E. Pearce
is being urged to run. The doctor

it is expected, to be announced next
