After three hours of balloting, a compromise was reached by the two agreeing to vote for a conviction on only one of the counts. The victory of the Government Is made more spectacular from the prominence of the men involved. Caminetti Is from a well-known and respected family. Diggs formerly was the architect for the State of California. The case was fought with all the wealth at the command of the affected families. Gamboa. Minister of Foreign Af fairs. said to-night to the corre spondent of The Sun: “I have never given an assurance that President Huerta will not be a candidate for re-election. “Mexico's position toward the United States has been defined absolutely in the last note from this Government in the negoti ations begun by Mr. Lind. No thing can be added to that note, which was a full statement of Mexico’s attitude, and this has not varied in the least since it was written.” The correspondent of The Sun endeavored to obtain a statement from General Huerta and from Senor Urrutia. Minister of the Interior, but both refused to dis cuss the matter. •CAMINETTI, CONVICTED,! NOT LIKELY TO APPEAL MAURY I. DIGGS. rjwas jgr" Mann Act, Given Thorough Test, Strengthened by Conviction.

Drew Caminetti, son of the Commis sioner General of Immigration, con victed of violating the white slave tence on both young menETAOIN law, likely will not appeal his case. The young man to-day said that the fact that he was convicted on only- ore of the four counts was, .in a way, a vindication. "I am relieved now that the long strain is over,” said Caminetti. T am glad the jury did not disagree and that the mess is not to be gone over again. I am found guilty of violating the white slave law in taking Lola Norris to Reno, but I am not guilty of persuading or enticing her away. I am not guilty of anything in con nection with the part Marsha War rington played in the trip to Reno. I hope they will drop the charges of conspiracy against me." Caminetti. free under a $10,000 bond pending sentence by Federal Judge Van Fleet, was cheerful to day. The verdict of the jury made possible a sentence of live years and a tine of $5,009. Maurv I. Diggs, con victed on the same charge, may be sentenced to twenty years and a $20,- 000 fine. The conviction of Caminetti. which followed that of Maury I.

HOT SPRINGS, ARK., Sept. 6.— With 2,000 persons homeless, many of them penniless, and a property loss estimated at $10,000,000, the greater part of Hot Springs to-day is a mass of smoking ruins from fire ttyat for nine hours swept an area •from seven to ten blocks in width, in the eastern portion of the city. No fatalities have been reported. But few of those whose homes were destroyed saved any valuables. The fire originated in a negro house about 3 o’clock in the afternoon and spent itself only when It reached the foot of West Mountain, the Southern extremity of Hot Springs, at mid night. Hotels, manufacturing plants and many fine residences were destroyed, and for a time it appeared as if the entire city was doomed. The hard est fight was to prevent the flames from gaining a headway on Central avenue, the principal business street. In this fight dynamite was used to wreck buildings. Militia on Duty. State militia are to-day patrolling the burned district. United States soldiers may be sent here from Little Rock to protect property in the Gov ernment reservation. Governor Hays arrived about midnight and ordered the State military patrol. In addi tion, 250 men were sworn in as po licemen to patrol the district. Thus far there has been no disorder. All the homeless have been cared for temporarily, and the many offers of assistance from the outside will probably not be necessary, as tha citizens of Hot Springs declare they can handle the situation. The Little Rock fire department re sponded to a call, for assistance on board a special train, and did good work in the fight, but it was several hours before the efforts of the fire fighters made any impression, and then only In preventing the spread to Central avenue. Public Buildings Burn. Among the buildings destroyed were the city light, water and power plants, the county courthouse, the Park. Princess and Moody Hotels, City High School. Iron Mountain Railroad sta tion and shops, Ozark Sanitarium, People’s Laundry, Crystal Theater and Bijou Rink, besides 100 or more smaller business buildings. During the fire a gale was blowing, at times reaching a velocity of 40 miles an hour, thus making the fight more difficult. As the firemen were dynamiting a house the flames, forced by the gale, would leap over them and ignite a dozen other houses. After the destruction of a number of build ings in an attempt to turn the fire toward South Hot Springs, the course was changed to such an extent that it finally spent itself against West Mountain, and the business section was saved. Gets Old Master for 20 Cents; Asks $1,365 Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MADRID.

COATICOOK. QUEBEC, Sept. 6.— One year's time m^y elapse before it is legally determined whether Harry K. Thaw, the fugitive from the Mat- teawan (N. Y.) Asylum for the Crim inal Insane, Is to be deported frcfin Canada or is to receive the protec tion of its laws. Assurance to this effect was given to Thaw to-day by his counsel. Thaw Is certain that he has won a long delay and immediately after breakfast began packing for the Jour ney to Montreal, where he must be produced in the Supreme Court on September 15. when arguments will be delivered on the writ of habeas corpus secured by J. N. Greenshlelds and N. K. La Flam me from Justices Corss and Gervais in the Court of Appeals. Coup a Legal Masterpiece. It had been suppostfA that Green- shields and LaFlamme had withdrawn from the case, seeing nothing but de feat. but their retreat was only a masterly piece of strategy by which the doors may have been opened for a test of the constitutionality of the Immigration law governing deporta tion. The fugitive was not certain when he would be taken to Montreal, but he presumed that no time would be lost, and he said he was ready to make the trip to-day. In fact, Thaw welcomed the change of surround ings, although he had been touched the evidences of friendship shown for him here. Thaw undoubtedly is a popular Idol here. Crowds surround his quarters In the immigration detention room all the time. So high has feeling been running that a force of uni formed Montreal police was sent here to-day to remain as long as Thaw does. Officials realize the pro-Thaw peo ple only need a leader to “start some thing.’’ Worked up to the proper pitch, they undoubtedly would at tempt to storm the Immigration build ing and release Thaw. Jerome Hearing Postponed. Complications have been added t.> the general aspect of the Thaw case by the events subsequent to the ar rest of William Travers Jerome, ex- District Attorney of New York, on a charge of gambling. Mr. Jerome was to have been arraigned before Mag istrate McKee at 9:30 this morning, but Hector Verrett, acting for the New York lawyer, had the hearing postponed for a week. Meantime Mr. Jerome left Canada, going to Nortons Mills, Vt. In a sense, Mr. Jerome thus made of him self a fugitive from Justice, reversing the position of Thaw, who is a fugi tive in Canada. Influence has been brought to bear upon Crown Prosecutor A. C. Hanson to have the charge against Mr. Je rome, who is at liberty on bond, dropped. The crown prosecutor refused to do this. Says Jerome Set Bad Example. “I have received many complaints about the open gambling of Mr. Je rome and I consider it my duty to push this case against him,” said the prosecutor. “He was setting a bad example. Every one could see him and his companions playing.” This Is a sort of puritanical com munity and gambling is looked upon as a serious offense. Thaw had double cause for elation. He showed by act and utterance that he is enjoying the discomfiture of the prosecutor. In the first place he has gained a notable point in obtaining a Continued on Page 2, Column 1.
