to United States,
NASHVILLE, Aue. 31.—J. G. Har-
rison, of Sparta, Ga., now stationed
at Monterey, and other missionaries
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, at mission posts in Mexico
have been warned to flee from that
country.
Dr. W. W. Pinson, general secre
tary of the mission board, has wired
to the different misionary centers
advising the representatives of the
denomination to leave the country at
once on account of the threatening
aspect of affairs. The telegrams were
sent upon the publication of Presi
dent Wilson's message to Congress,
in which he advised all Americans to
seek the seaport tow’ns, where United
States ships would be in readiness to
convey them to this country.
A telegram has been received from
R. C. Elliott, one of the most promi
nent missionaries in Mexico, in which
he stated that he had been ordered
to leave, and asked for funds to pay
for transportation. He was directed
to make a draft on the church for
funds to enable his family and other
missionaries to depart.
•T. D. Hamilton, treasurer of the
board of missions, stated that the
church could not take the responsi
bility of keeping Its representatives
in a country where conditions were so
threatening.
The missionaries of the Methodist
Church in Mexico at this time are
the Rev. J. D. Cox, N. E. Joyner and
J. G. Harrison, Monterey; Miss Lily
Fox and the Rev. A. Marston. Mazat-
lan; the Rev. J. P. Lancaster, Tor-

Judge Angered by Attempt of the
Defense to Squirm From Un
der the Charges.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aur. 31— Attor-
neys for F. Drew Caminetti, charged
with being a white slaver, have made
no apparent headway In their efforts
to put the blame for the elopement
to Reno of Maury Diggs, already con
victed on a white slave charge; Mar
sha Warrington. Lola Norris and
Caminetti upon the shoulders of
Diggs.
Questions purporting to show that
Diggs was the moving spirit in ar
ranging and managing tho trip from
Sacramento to Reno aroused Federal
Judge VanFleet until he asked At
torney Howe:
“Is it your theory that Caminetti
was also abducted and taken over to
Reno?”
When court adjourned last evening
until next Tuesday, Marsha Warring
ton had finished her direct testimony.
She will be recalled by the deefnse’s
attorneys.
The surprise of the trial came yes
terday when Thomas II. Warrington,
father of Marsha Warrington, testi
fied in place of his daughter. White-
haired, clean-shaven, kindly faced, he
testified that F. Dri Caminetti, the
defendant charged with violating tho
Mann white slave traffic act, called
frequently * his house for his daugh
ter under the name of "Mr. Whit
man.'’ Mr. Warrington supposed
“Whitman’’ was an honorable suitor
for his daughter's hand.
M. J. Sullivan, probation officer of
Sacramento County, testified that
there had been no complaint made to
him about either Lola Norris or Mar
sha Warrington previous to their
flight on March 10. On cross-exami
nation Marshall Woodworth began to
bring out evidence directly damaging
to the character of Caminetti.
Complaints about both Diggs and
Caminetti had been brought to fculll-
van about a week before the elope
ment to Reno. Two young girls were
involved and one of them was now
in St. Catherine’s Home in this city.

conditions here.
“Foreign countries are led to believe
that a state of anarchy prevails all
over Mexico, but as a matter of fact

There will be a big demonstration

An involuntary petition in bank
ruptcy was filed in the Federal Court
Saturday morning against the Brown.
Strauss & Ward Company, liabilities
totaling $4,600 being listed against
them. The heaviest creditor is J. L.
Ward, who claims the concern is due
him $4,500 on notes.
The concern, which dealt in real es
tate, has been doing business in At
lanta for some time. The creditors
ask for the appointment of a receiver,
and one will probably be named Mon
day. The petition charges that the
president of the company has ab
sconded, but does not mention his
name, and that the concern favored
other creditors, namely, the Third
National Bank, by allowing a levy on
personal property; the Atlanta OH
and Gasoline Comapny, V. E. Stater-
field and the Massengale Bulletin Sys
tem. S. D. Zacharias and The Fulton
County Daily Report Company are
the other two petitioning creditors.
Mrs. C. G. Brown, operator of a
millinery store at No. 249 Marietta
street, was the subject of an involun
tary petition. Her creditors were M.
Kutz & Co. $175; N. Bodenheimer.
$26.88. and C. G. Brown, Esq., for
money advanced. $582.
The pathetic was displayed in a
voluntary petition filed by J. O. Ew
ing, a teiegraph operator, who showed
liabilities of $1,056, divided among 35
creditors, seventeen of whom were
doctors and seven money lenders. No
assets were named.
A voluntary petition was filed by
Mrs. Rhoda Castle, with liabilities ot
$195.99, with m> assets.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Actuated by
a lifelong desire to give herself, her
brain and body, her education and
talents to the service of God, Miss
Nora McCall, young and beautiful,
will renounce the world and society
on September 8 and enter the Sacred
Heart Convent. In three months she
will become a novice, then a nun for
seven years, and she will then take
the vowji which will shut her off for
ever from the outside world.
Miss McCall is one of the most
popular members of New York so
ciety, and is a niece of Public Serv
ice Commissioner McCall, Tammany
candidate for Mayor. Until she en
ters the convent at Kenwood, near
Albany, ahe will be the center of
gayety and many fetes will be given
In her hono*\
In an interview In which she ex
plained why she will become a nun,
Miss McCall likens the sacrifice of
friends and happiness she will be
compelled to make to the sacrifice of
a soldier who gives up his loved ones
to fight for the honor of his country.
■'We must sacrifice ourselves for
a principle,” Miss McCall said, “the
soldier sacrifices his home, his loved
ones, everything that is dear, for a
principle—for the honor of his coun
try. The same reason stands him
in good stead when death comes, and
he smiles and passes on gladly, giv
ing his life to service.
"My sacrifice will be to give up the
things I have always done, my friends,
the gayety and charm of society; to
give up dancing, singing and playing,
which as a'girl I love.
“I have been loved all my life. 1
have been shown every luxury and
have been showered with attentions
and blessings. Yet through It all 1
had a feeling that it was not right—
I had an indescribable desire to give
myself to God while I was young and
fresh, keen and warm-blooded. God
does not want the useless husks—
people who have known pleasure and
life and turn to Him merely because
they seek a new diversion. He wants
youth and talent, fresh, young peo
pie who will give their lives to him
through love of service.'

An important decision affecting the
city** right to regulate gambling wap
handed down by the Court of Appeal!
Saturday In the case of T. C. Alexan
der vs. the City of Atlanta.
The Appeals Court ruled that It
was not in the pow’er of tho Munici
pal Court to punish Alexander, for
the reason that the offense of gam
ing Is covered by the State law.
Judge George L*. Bell, of the Fulton
Founty Superior Court, who over
ruled the certiorari and affirmed the
Judgment of the Recorder fining the
defendant, was declared In error.
The trial of Alexander under the
city ordinance was a test case to de
termine the city’s Jurisdiction in of
fense* of this sort. He was brought
before the Recorder on the charge of
having slot machines In his near-beer
sAloon in Decatur street. He was
convicted, tbok a certiorari to the Su
perior Court and was overruled.
It was shown that the slot machine
gave a package of gum foT every
nickel that was deposited, and that, in
addition, twenty beer checks occa
sionally formed the reward for the
fortunate players of the machine.
This last feature Introduced the el
ement of chance, according to the
Court of Appeals, and placed Alexan
der under the definition of a “keeper
of a gambling house,” whose punish
ment was solely without the Jurisdic
tion of the city and within that of
the State.
