UERTA GIVES IN TO
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 —
Official confirmation was given
lato to-day to the reports that
the main points in the propo
sals submitted to President
Huerta, of Mexico, through
Envoy Innd, have been ac
cepted.
It became known that Pres
ident Wilson believes that
Huerta has pledged himself
not to be a candidate to suc
ceed himself, 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
t rat ion circles as a great dip
lomatie victory.

Bristow Would
Recognize Carranza. ,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4—Senator |
Printo\v declared In the Senate to-day
that General Carranza, the constitu
tionalist Leader In Mexico, Is entitled
to reoognltioti as a belligerent if Gen
eral Huerta be not recognized as the
lawful President.
Senator Prlstow criticised Presi
dent Wilson’s demand that American* |
leave Mexico.
“If Huerta is not the lawful Presi
dent and Mr. Wilson declines to rec- |
ognlze 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.”

MEXICO CITY, Sept 4.- Many
American residents here resent the
advice of President Wilson and Sec
retary Bryan to leave Mexico, and it
was not until to-day that some of

cial Envoy John Lind are again in
negotiation with President Huerta.

upon Secretary Bryan’s order to get
out in the belief that the United
States expected to intervene, have
approached Mr. Hind seeking aid to
get first-class accommodations to the
United States.
There are many Mormons and mis
sionaries at Vera Cruz.

Mrs. Zella Bennett Aids Defense
Counsel in Alleged Poisoning
Case—Bitter Toward Accusers.
Mrs. Zella Bennett, the devoted
daughter of Mrs. Mary Belle Craw
ford, took up her mother’s defense
Thursday In a statement declaring
and reiterating her confidence In Mrs.
Crawford's Innocence of any part In
Joshua Crawford’s mysterious death,
and expressing the deepest bitterness
toward those who Instigated the
charges.
Mrs. Crawford, with the accusation
of her husband’s murder hanging over
her, has found almost her sole con
solation In the unswerving loyalty of
her daughter. The suspected woman
lives with Mrs. Bennett and the lat
ter’s three children at No. 674 West
Peaechtree street, and has seldom ap
peared In public since the poisoning
charges were preferred against her.
Mrs. Bennett has been the almost
constant companion of Mrs. Craw
ford for more than three years, and
the ties of love that bind her to her
mother have been strengthened by
the trying Incidents of the past two
months. She unconsciously has as
sumed a protecting .attitude toward
Mrs. Crawford, and protests her
mother’s Innocence with greater em
phasis than even M r. Crawford her
self.
Broken by Mother's Arrest.
Mrs. Bennett has suffered from the
persecution which she asserts her
mother is undergoing to an even
greater extent than the accused
woman. She is. bitter toward Mr.
Crawford's relatives, who are con
testing her mother’s right to the
Crawford estate, and doubly bitter
toward those who caused her arrest
and Incarceration In the Tower.
"When they arrested mother and
took her to jail,” Mrs. Bennett said.
"I thought my heart would break. I
knew she was Innocent, and had no
fear but that everything would come
out all right. But the sight of mv
mother behind the bars of a prison
was almost more than I could bear. 1
think I suffered even more than she
did—and God knows such persecu
tion as has been her lot recently Is
enough to make any woman sufTer. It
Is bad enough to be accused of any
crime at all—but to have them say
my mother killed her husband, a man
whom she loved and who loved her
devotedly—I can conceive of nothing
more horrible or trying to a woman’s
so.ul.
"None of these relatives who are
robbing Mr. Crawford's grave and
trying to make my mother out a bad
woman loved him with one-half the
love my mother bore for him. I know
my mother loved him, and I have
never seen her so happy as she was
when she told me she was going to
marry Mr. Crawford. And I was hap
py, too, because I knew Mr. Crawford
was a good man, and whatever makes
my mother happy makes me doubly
so."
Adviser to Parent.
Besides being her most loyal sup
porter, Mrs. Bennett has been an ac
tive adviser of her mother. She has
suggested plans for defending Mrs.
Crawford that are considered valuable
by the accused woman’s attorneys
and that doubtless will be carried out
should the Grand Jury Indict the ac
cused woman and the case come to
trial. She has been Instrumental In
keeping her mother In a happy frame
of mind, cheering Mrs. Crawford and
encouraging her with tender care,
even though her own heart he sad.
Mrs. Bennett and her husband made
a great sacrifice In order that she
might be with her mother. When Mr.
Crawford died she was living in Pitts
burg, where Mr. Bennett was in busi
ness. At the request of her mother,
they gave up their Pittsburg home
and came to Atlanta that she might
be with Mrs. Crawford.
Mrs. Crawford's grandchildren,
Viola and Russell Bennett, aged 8 and
6, respectively, are too young to real
ize the nature of their grandmother’s
trouble. Their eyes open wide with
childish w’onder when they see her in
tears conjured up by the memory of
some Incident of the past few months.
Grandchildren Loyal.
With the Intuition that belongs only
to childhood, they sense that some
thing Is wrong; they know "grand
mamma" 1s sorrowful without know
ing the cause. The result has been a
tightening of the family circle, a
strengthening of the ties of love that
bind the little hearts to that of "grand
mamma."
Little Viola and Russell are never
so happy as when Mrs. Crawford con
sents to play with them. They are
with her constantly, bringing their
dollies and their toys for ’’grandmam
ma" to tlx. always throwing about her
the protecting wings of their innocent
love.
They have grasped the fact that
their "grandmamma" Is accused of
something, of something terrible, and
their Indignation that anybody could
suspect such a good "grandmamma" of
doing wrong Is one of the pathetic
features of the whole affair.

Governor Witnesses First Double
Electrocution in South Caro
lina Penitentiary.
COLUMBIA, Sept. 4.—Because they
had killed his friend and because he
wanted to see the operations of an
electric chair, Governor Cole L.
Blease to-day attended the first! dou
ble electrocution ever held in South
Carolina In the State penitentiary,
when Jasper Green and Davis Rey
nolds, negroes, paid the extreme pen
alty for the murder of J. R. Cooler,
liquor constable for Beaufort County,
last March.
“Yes, I attended the execution at
the penitentiary to-day,” declared
Governor Blease. “I made a recom
mendation to the General Assembly
that the electric chair be substituted
for hanging in this State. Ever since
the change was made I have won
dered whether or not we had adopted
the most humane method for reliev
ing society of those depraved and un
fortunate human beings who were
convicted of such heinous crimes, and
I wanted to see for myself.
“I have seen people hanged, but
refrained from going to see one elec
trocuted because, having the power in
my hands to direct that it be stopped,
I was not sure that it would be the
best thing for me to do.
“But in this instance these two ne
groes were convicted df killing an of
ficer of the law—a man who carried
in his pocket a commission from me
as Governor of South Carolina to per
form the duties he was performing at
the time they murdered him. When
they struck him down, they struck, to
that extent, the law of our State, and
they killed one of the truest men that
Souh Carolina ever had, one of the
bravest and most efficient officers and
one of my best friends.”
The executions were also witnessed
by the father and three brothers
the murdered man and relatives from
Beaufort County. Both men denied
the crime when strapped into tho
chair.
