Wilson Planning to
“Smoke Huerta Out.”
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 . Wash
ington has not yet been informed of
ficially of the coming to the United
States of Manuel de Zarnacona 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
United States Government, but offi
cials here will not discuss this point.
President Wilson now Is aiming to
bring pressure on Huerta to make a
statement which will elminato him
definitely and finally as a candidate
for the Presidency at the elections in
Mexico next month. In unmistakable
terms, President Wilson has indicat
ed that Huerta has made such a
pledge to this nation, but he wants
the people of Mexico and the nations
of Europe to understand it as clearly
a* 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.

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

mission for decision by Friday night.
Attorney Bradley declared in fin
ishing that justice would be foiled if
a pardon was granted him.
“McNaughton’s attorneys hava
made no point to their case," de
clared Attorney Bradley. “The evi
dence which they have introduced
has been practcially the same
through which he was convicted by a
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 a
hypothetical case which did not re
late to the case In question.

Naughton, Introduced W. J. Taylor
and A. J. Stanaland, Thomasville cit

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 Thomasville men reiterated
their statements thal 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 with Flanders at
that time and could not, as th$T
swore Thursday, have known of
Flanders’ movements while in Thom

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,
und 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 was 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 w r as
last winter.

HARVESTING CAROLINA RICE.
CHARLESTON, Sept. 5.—Rice is
now being harvested in Charleston
territory, ex-Govemor Heyward be
ginning the first cutting of the sea
son. About September 5 the local
rice mill starts pounding. It serves
the entire rice growing section of
South Carolina and the Savannah
River valley, being the only mill of
its kind in operation in this section.
LITTLE ROCK, Sept. 5— Lee Sima,
a negro, convicted of attacking a
w’hite woman in Prairie County, ex
ecuted at the State prison to-day, was
the first to die under the new' law
substituting electrocution for hang
ing He was also the first executed

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
for his indictment by the Felton
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 be
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 harbor'*- 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 many law
yers that the misdemeanor charge is
the most serious that can be brought
against the negro.

him up and explain his attitude to

Mayor Winn, and left the meeting.

the city's income would not be suffi

“I never mentioned Mayor Winn's
