the next President of Mexico.”
This statement was made to-day
by Felix Dias, nephew of former
President Por^lrio Diaz, of Mexico,
who Is en route to Japan on a spe

result to the former President cabling
order* to all his former lieutenants

Wilson Planning to
“Smoke Huerta Out.”
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—Wash-
lngton has not yet been informed of
ficially of the coming to the United
States of Manuel de Zamacona y In
clan, whom General Huerta is send
ing to this country ostensibly for the
purpose of bringing a confidential
message to President Wilson.
It is believed that Zamacona is
coming to negotiate certain loans for
Huerta with the co-operation of the
I’nited States Government, but offi
cials here will not discuss this point.
President Wilson now is aiming to
:»:11ipressure on Huerta to make a
'..• rint which will elminate him
d'v.u/iely and finally as a candidate
l’. r thr Presidency at the elections in
Tie ' next month. In unmistakable
t riiis President Wilson has indicat
'd Pii; Huerta has made such a
Ige to this nation, but he wants
t i people of Mexico and the nations
-1 Europe to understand it as clearly
as he does.
For that reason the negotiations
now are focusing on the effort to
‘‘smoke Huerta out” and cause him to
take the same action openly that he
has done verbally to the American
Government.

Habeas Corpus of Millionaire
Against Divorced Wife to Be
Heard Here First.
Habeas corpus proceedings in the
suit of J. E. Barlow’, the Stewart
County millionaire, against his di
vorced wife, Mrs. Edith Barlow, over
the custody of their 10-year-old
daughter, Madeline, will come up be
fore Judge Bell in the Fulton County
Superior Court next week.
The case is unique in that it now
appears before two circuits of the
Superior Court in ^three different
forms. Also it contains an instance
of an ordinary reversing a Superior
Court judge on the disposition of a
child.
Barlow, who claims Stewart County
as his residence, maintaining a home
there, has immense holdings in Cuba,
and spends most of his time there.
He has re-married since obtaining a
divorce, this making his third matri
monial venture. His first wife died.
The daughter is with her mother at
No. 219 West Peachtree street, At
lanta the father having expressed no
objection to her remaining there until
the courts settle the question of who
shall have the child.
In the original suit for divorce,
which was brought in Atlanta, the
custody of the child w’as given to the
father with the privilege of paying
reasonable visits to the mother. The
child was on a visit to her mother
in Stewart County, .but, on the be
lief that she was attempting to take
thechild out of the jurisdiction of the
court, the child was taken from her.
The mother brought the matter be
fore the Ordinary of Stewart County,
and he issued an order reversing the
decision of the Fulton County Su
perior Court.
Burton Smith represents the fa
ther. He immediately sued out ha
beas corpus proceedings in the Fulton
County Court, which will be given a
hearing next week. He went to Stew
art County Thursday and obtained a
certiorari writ over the Ordinary’s
decision, which will be given a hear
ing by Judge Littlejohn, of the Stew
art County Superior Court, in No
vember.
In the meantime it is understood
that attorneys for Mrs. Barlow will
file contempt proceedings in Ameri-
cus against Barlow. Americus is in
the circuit presided over by Judge
Littlejohn. Moore & Pomeroy are
the attorneys for Mrs. Barlow.
The contempt proceedings are bas
ed on the charge that Barlow is in
contempt for taking the child out of
the jurisdiction of the court by en
rolling her as a student in the Can
dler College in Cuba, where she was
last winter.
Lncrease $19,261,314
County tax returns show a gain of
J19.261.314, according to tigures com
piled at the Comptroller General's of
fice and made public Friday. The
report was completed following the
receipt of the Paulding County tax
book, which was delayed several days.
The increase is far below that
shown last year.
Federal Court Hears
Alabama Rate Cases
HUNTSVILLE, Sept. 6.—The Cen
tral of Georgia and Western of Ala
bama rate cases were argued to-day
before Judges Shelby, Grubb and
Sheppard, of the Federal Court. Both
roads claim that enforcement of the
new rates will amount to confisca
tion of their property.
Steiner & Cunningham are repre
senting the railroads and Attorney
General Brickell and Judge Sam
Weakley are here for the State.
Charles Henderson, president of the

TACOMA, WASH., Sept. 5—Mrs.

the phrase, if it served their pur
pose.”
Turning to the more personal
phases of the meeting Thursday
night, Mayor Woodward said that he
had nothing but good will in his
heart for ex-Mayor Courtland S.
Winn, and that he was going to call
him up and explain his attitude to
day. He recalled the exact words
which Dr. Bradfleld Interpreted \s
an attack on his brother-in-law, ex-
Mayor Winn, and left the meeting.
“I asked them why they had not
gotten improvements on the South
Side," said Mayor Woodward. “I
told them they had had the Mayor
and a majority of the Council from
their section.
Denies Mentioning Winn.
“Later I said if the city govern
ment had continued to be run as it
w’as the last six months of last year,
the city’s income would not be suffi
cient to pay the installments on il
legal moral obligations, to say noth
ing of the fixed expenses of running
the city.
“I never mentioned Mayor Winn’s
name.
“If Dr. Bradfleld is so averse to as
sociating with me, he might resign
from the Board of Health. He and
a good bunch of his crowd could get
out, and the city would not suffer.”
After Mayor Woodward had left
the meeting Thursday night, Dr.
Bradfleld returned and said:
“Gentlemen. 1 must apologize for
leaving the room during that speech.
But I could not sit here and listen
to the attack on ex-Mayor Winn. I
must resign from the chairmanship
of this organization. I can not asso
ciate with a man whom I would not
take into my own home.”
“Beavers Won’t Be an Issue.”
The meeting in the Second Ward
Thursday night began the actual po
litical warfare of the coming elec
tions. Numerous candidates were
present. The most significant fact
developed is that Mayor Woodward
is going to take an active part in the
elections.
Friday Mayor Woodward spoke
lucidly of the part Police Chief Beav-
Defendant’s Mother Breaks Down

Closing Plea for Brother.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.—The
jury in the case of F. Drew’ Caminetti
was expected to retire to decide
W'hether the son of the Commission
er General of Immigration of the
United States is a white slaver at
noon to-day.
While Anthony Caminetti, Jr., the
defendant’s brother, was making one

Man, 94, Is Survived
By Twenty Children
NOBLESVILLE. IND., Sept. 5.—
Riley Shepard, 94. father of twenty-
nine children, is dead.
He is survived by twenty children,
126 grandchildren. 68 great-grand
children and four great-great-grand
children.
A misdemeanor charge may be the
most serious on which Jim Conley,
confessed accessory after the fact in
the murder of Mary Phagan, may be
tried. This developed Friday when
preparations were being made to ask
f»r his indictment by the Fulton
County Grand Jury’.
A delicate point in the interpreta
tion of the law is involved in Con
ley’s case. It had been expected that
he would be tried on a felony charge,
but several lawyers who have inves
tigated the law on the point say that
it is doubtful if this can be made in
view’ of the circumstances of the case
as developed in the testimony dur
ing the trial of Leo M. Frank for the
murder.
What Constitutes Felony.
An accessory after the fact may bfe
found guilty of a felony if, in the
records of the law, he “harbors or
conceals” the perpetrator of a crime
punishable by death or life imprison
ment and withholds from the officials
the information of the crime.
The misdemeanor charge may be
made when information of this sort
is withheld, no mention being made
of harbori’ - or concealing the per
petrator. Conley’s story, as it was
told to the jury in the Frank trial,
involved at no point the “concealing”
of Frank in the accepted meaning of
the term.
Unless it can be given a broader
meaning, it is thought by manyMaw-
vers that the misdemeanor charge is
the most serious that can be brought
against the negro.
ers 'will play in the campaign. On
this political issue he has been silent |
for many months.
"Beavers won’t be an issue,” he
said. “You can’t fire a man for en
forcing the law. Former officials have
not considered it proper to enforce
some law’s Beavers has enforced. But
because Beavers enforced them is no
grounds to fire him, and I have told
him so."
Charter Advocates
Plan Hard Fight.
While Mayor Woodward was roast
ing the new charter at a political
meeting in the Second Ward, friends
of that measure were holding a con
ference in preparation for a vigorous
campaign for its adoption.
Judge fieorge H. Hillyer has beer
selected as chairman of the campaign
committee. A systematic, city-wide
fight will be made in the interest of
the charter.

Lawyer for Flanders Family Says
Nothing New Was Shown.
Case Nears Board.
A bitter arraignment of the plea
for the pardon of Dr. W. J. Mc-
Naughton, the Emanuel County phy
sician under sentence of death for
poisoning Fred Flanders, was made
by Attorney A. S. Bradley, repre
senting the Flanders family, in his
closing argument before the Prison
Commission Friday. The case prob
ably will be in the hands of the com
mission for decision by Friday night.
Attorney Bradley declared In fin-
tefrlng that justice would be foiled 11
a pardon was granted him.
"McNaughton’s attorneys tours
made no point to their case/* de
clared Attorney Bradley. “The trvlr-
dence which they have introduoefl
has been practclaliy the same
through which he was convicted u*
Jury.”
Mr. Bradley attacked the affidavits
of the Savannah physicians which
declared Flanders could not have
died from arsenic poisoning. He said
their deductions were drawn from &
hypothetical ease which did not re
late to the case in question.
Before the arguments began Judga
H. F. Saffold, of counsel for M>-
Naughton, introduced W. J. Taylor
and A. J. Stanaland, Thomasville cit
izens, in substantiation of their affi
davits, Impeachment of which was
sought when J. E. Thompson and h.i
brother, R. N. Thompson, business
partners of Flanders, testified Thurs
day.
The Thomasvllle men reiterated
their statements that Flanders, while
in their city, had taken quantities of
drugs and had expressed the fear tha t
“some day this is going to kill me.”
They also declared the Thompson
brothers were not w’ith Flanders at
that time and could not, as tiny
swore Thursday, have known of
Flanders’ movements while in Thom-
asville.
