HUERTA SUBMITS TO WILSON
TANGLE
SOLVED
BY LIND
Official Announcement Made That
Proposals of President Have
Been Accepted.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—
Official confirmation was given
late to-day to the reports that
the main points in the propo
sals submitted to President
Huerta, of Mexico, through
Envoy Lind, have be£n ac
cepted.
It became known that Pres
ident Wilson believes that
Huerta has pledged himself
not to be a candidate to suc
ceed himsc f, both verbally
and in the second Gamboa
no te,and that Huerta also has
waived his demand that the
United States recognize him as
the constitutional provisional
President.
President Wilson is in an
enthusiastic mood over the
success of the Lind mission,
which is regarded in adminis
tration circles as a great dip
lomatic victory.

ican situation see Page 2.
Bristow Would
Recognize Carranza.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Senator
Bristow declared in the Senate to-day
that General Carranza, the constitu
tionalist leader In Mexico, Is entitled
to recognition as a belligerent if Gen
eral Huerta be not recognized as the
lawful President.
Senator Bristow criticised Presi
dent Wilson’s demand that Americana
leave Mexico.
"If Huerta is not the lawful Presi
dent and Mr. Wilson declines to rec
ognize him as such, then Carranza,
who represents the Madero regime, is
fighting for the triumph of rightful
authority,” said Senator Bristow.
“And as the head of an army and
in actual control of the Government
of several of the most powerful of the
Mexican States, It seems to me that
he is entitled to recognition as a bel
ligerent. If Huerta was wrong, then
the constitutionalists are fighting for
what is right; yet we have refused to
permit them to have an equal oppor
tunity to maintain their rights as
against usurpers.”

tered in two places and that the
little girl's skull had probably
been fractured. It was also be
lieved Cohan was injured inter
nally. The two actors were bad
ly cut ana bruised. They were on
their way to attend a rehearsal
to-night. When the collision oc
curred the automobile was thrown

while driving an automobile last
Saturday ran down and killed
Samuel Goldstein, a wealthy real
estate operator residing at 336
Washington street, was bound
over to a higher court by Re
corder Broyles under $5,000 bond
Thursday. Curtis, who is charged
with involuntary manslaughter,
waived preliminary examination.
John Matthias, a negro, was
bound over without bail by Judge
Broyles Thursday for the murder
of Thomas Harris, another negro,
in a saloon in Fifth avenue Sun
day night. Matthias in court de
clared that he had not fired the
fatal shot, but had got another
negro, who»e n»me ne g®ve, to
commit the deed. Police are
searching for this m*n.

er, was before Recorder Broyles
Thursday on the charge of issu
ing fradulent checks. The case

of the stockade sentence. This
was given him.
WASHINGTON, Sept. .—Rep
resentative Murray, of Oklahoma,
in the House to-day, by inference
criticised the Mexican policy of
President Wilson. He declared

face of a dec'aration that war is
not expected.
Mrs. J. N. Kheeley and Mrs. M.
S. McWilliams, both of No. 89
Pickard street, are charged with
picking out the city stockade a*
a profitable place in which to ex
ercise their thieving propensities.
They were arrested Thursday by
Call Officer Jones. He alleged
that they had been stealing pro
visions from the City Prison. The
women will be tried Friday morn
ing.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—

message to the Senate late to-day

chairman of the Senate Finance
Cmmittee the protests of foreign
nations against the provision in
the tariff bill granting a rebate of
5 per cent on goods imported 'n
American bottoms. The message
includes a statement from Coun
sellor Moore, ©f the Statke De
partment, that the proposed re
bates violates the treaties of tho

tions. The provision was stricken
from the bill.
LIFE PLED
FOUGHT
Business Partner of Dead Man
Refutes the Testimony of Two
Thomasville Citizens,
impeachment of the testimony of
two citizens of Thomasville, Oa., giv
en before the Prison Commission
Tuesday in behalf of Dr. W. J. Mc-
Naughton, the Emanuel County phy
sician, who is battling for a reprieve
of the death sentence imposed upon
him for the poisoning of Fred Fland
ers, was sought by Attorney A. fc5.
Bradley, of Swainsboro, Ga., In behalf
of the State Thursday when J. E.
Thompson, a business partner of the
dead man appeared as a witness.
Thompson's testimony was in di
rect contradiction of that of W. ,T.
Taylor, a clothier, and A. J Stana-
land, county surveyor of Thomas
County, both of Thomasville, who
swore that Flanders while in their
city took great quantities of drugs
and declared while stirring a glass
of liquid: “This is going to kill me
some day.”
Thompson declared that he and
his brother. R. N. Thompson, were in
Thomasville at that time with Fland
ers, and that he took medicine but
twice, once for indigestion and again
for a slight headache.
With Him All the Time.
“My brother and I were with Fland
ers looking over some timber land,”
said Thompson. “We were with him
almost hourly during the three days
that he was there.
“At no time did he complain of
serious illness. Once he said he had
a slight headache and took some
capudine, I think. Another time he
had indigestion, and secured some
medicine from a drug store for that,
which he took.
“Flanders was always in a good
humor, and seemed to he further from
death than any of us. If he feared
anything of the kind, I am certain
that he would have mentioned it to
me. This was about a month be
fore his death.”
Corroborating Thompson’s state
ment was an affidavit from his broth
er, which was read in court.
The affidavit sworn to by R. N.
Thompson, which was read to the
Prison Commission by Attorney
Bradley, follows In part:
“That Fi*ed Flanders and affiant
and J. E. Thompson formed a co
partnership for purpose of operating
a lumber business near Thomasville
That they went to Thomasville about
April 10, arriving there Saturday
morning, after leaving Covena to
gether.
Appeared in Good Health.
"That Fred Flanders appeared to he
in good health and made no com
plaint until o nthe evening of the day
they arrived in ThomasvLle. That
affiant and Flanders had both lost
some sleep, owing to being up late
about business affa'rs on the previous
night. On Saturday evening Flanders
stated he was tired and on Sunday
morning when they all arose Flanders
stated he was not feeling well, com
plaining of indigestion, and stated ne
would go to a drug store and get somj
medicine. When he did that Flanders
