FORMER WIFE IS rich Mexican blames new york
NOT DAUNTED bankers for huerta'S troubles;
nW n ft ni mil —BARTOLO RODRIGUEZ AND HIS SONS, BARTOLO, JR., RAFAEL, JAMES.
Declares That She Will Spend
Her Last Penny in Fight to
Keep Little Daughter.
Mr* Rdith Harlow, a Mark-haired,
pleasant-featured woman, a^aln hade
defiance Friday to her former hue-
hand, J. E. Barlow, and all his wealth.
Standing in the hallway of her home
at No. 219 West Peachtree street, she
chai’enged him with all his reputed
millions to get possession of their
pretty little 8-year-old daughter.
Madeline
Madeline, around whom the legal
battle is centering, stood by hermoth-
•r*» side, drinking in every word that
wm an id and wondering why so much
fus* and ado should he made about
her when she liked hoth her father
and her mother. Mrs. Barlow was
told that her former husband was In
the city and had sworn to get the
child if It took every cent of his
money.
"Well. I Intend that he shall not
have her If It takes every cent of
mine,” and her face lighted with a
smile of assurance ns if she were a bit
amused that Barlow had any Idea
that he might regain the child.
Child Criticises His Picture.
"Oo-oo, look at that big picture of
papa!” exclaimed the little maiden at
her mother’s side, breaking Into the
conversation for the first time when
a paper was displayed containing the
Interview with Barlow Then she pro
ceeded to offer her criticisms of Its
artistic merits in true grown-up fash
ion.
"She would rather stay with me
and live on a crust of bread and a
glass of milk than to live with her
father with all his luxuries," said Mrs.
Barlow, referring to her former hus
band's statement that he was In bet
ter position to care for the child than
she.
"But I guess she won’t starve,” she
added, her smile returning. *T will be
able to give her all the advantages
that she would receive at the hands of
her father. That talk about his being
a millionaire Is all rot anyway. I
doubt if he could raise $25,000 to-day
if he wanted to.”
Mentions Amount Sued For.
A coincidence is that 126.000 is ex
actly the alimony for which Mrs. Bar-
low’ 1s suing the man who divorced
her.
“I have every right to the child,” |
she continued "The Ordinary of
Stewart County has decided that
Madeline should stay with me, and 1
guess that settles it. Mr. Barlow vl
dated his agreement under the terms
of the divorce which awarded the
child to him when he refused to let
her rora p to see me.
"The. court's ruling was that Made
line should be allowed to visit me at
reasonable intervals. Mr. Barlow
never complied with this ruling. There
were fifteen months that I never saw
my little girl 1 wrote him as cour
teous letter as anyone could write
asking him to let Madeline come to
me, and it did no good.
"Then I heard that Madeline and
the third Mrs. Barlow had come back
from Cuba and were in Lumpkin, and
I went down there. I got Madeline
and I’ve got her yet, and I’m going tj
keep her. ^
Determined to Keep Her.
"Mr. Barlow was In contempt of
court when he refused to let me see
the child, and he has forfeited his
rights to her now.”
Mr. Barlow, who came to Atlan a
Thursday for a conference with his
attorneys, Burton Smith and Arthur
Q. Powell, will leave for New York
Friday afternoon He has an ap
pointment ther. September 15 with a
group of financiers whom he wishes
to interest in a Cuban railroad proj
ect. After ih;.t he will return :o
Georgia to fight for possession of ttv
child.
Mrs. Barlow's action, which asks
for permanent possession of Made
Kaa $26,000 alimony for the littl
girl's support and an annulment of
Barlow's present marriage on the
ground that he obtained his divorce
illegally, will he heard before Judge
Littlejohn in Arnericus September 27.

Rumor That He Will Get New
Superior Court Judgeship
Gains Ground.
That Judge L. F. Roan would be ap
pointed to the now' Superior Court
Judgeship created by the fast 1a>k1s-
lature within the next 80 days was the
information Friday.
Although no Interv iews In regard to
the appointment have been given out
by Governor Slaton, and various ru
mors as to probable appointees have
gone the rounds, the rumor concern
ing the appointment of Judge Roan
Is said to hit the mark squarely.
Those who are in close touch with
the situation point out that the Gov
ernor has decided definitely to ap
point Judge Roan, but that he has de
ferred action until the latter has tem
ple ted his work in the Leo Frank case
on or about October 4. when the mo
tion for u new’ trial will be heard.
Should Judge Roan receive the ap
pointment, w hich uuni o$i 1 iln,

Stone Mountain Circuit, probably will
b** named as his successor as Judge
of the Stone Mountain Circuit. Mr
Reed has been Solicitor for several
years, and is regarded as an able
lawyer. His home is in Palmetto,
Campbell County.

TICKLES MULE—AW. GUESS!
NEW YORK Sept. 12 As the re
sult of tickling a mule with a straw,
Paul Porcare had his face disfigured
for life.
Charging that the bankers of New
York City are behind the present
trouble In Mexico, and that the Mex
ican people consider President Wood-
row Wileon of the United States "as
crazy a man as Francisco I. Madero,”
and a tool in the hands of the great
American financial interests, Bartolo
Dodriguez, a wealthy landowner and
ranchman of Tampico, Vera Cruz.
Mexico, who is in Atlanta to put his
three sons in the Georgia Military
Academy, told an Interesting story
Friday morning of conditions in the
southern republic.
Mr. Rodriguez declared emphati
cally that reports emanating from
Mexico are garbled and distorted. He
declares that, with the exception of
roving bands of Constitutionalists and
followers of Zapata, Mexico Is quiet.
*Tf it bad not been for the bankers
and financial Interests of New York
City,” Mr. Rodriguez said, “the trou
ble In Mexico would have been over
long ago.
Caused Sending of Lind.
"It is these same big bankers, de
sirous of controlling the country and
grabbing all the vast resources of the
republic, who have caused the trou
ble.
"It was they who caused the send
ing of the special envoy, John Lind,
to Mexico City to bulldoze President
Iluerta; it was they who caused the
garbled and distorted reports of con
ditions in my country to be spread
throughout the United States, it was
they who tried to induce your Presi
dent to send the American army into
my country; and they were behind
the proclamation issued by President
Wilson asking Americans to leave the
country.
"Their reasons for trying to stir up
a war between the United States and
Mexico can be plainly seen by any
one who will take the trouble to look.
Mexico is one of the richest countries
on earth in natural resources that
need only development. Thousands
of Americans have invested their cap
ital in my country, and are making
fortunes.
Seek to Regain Control.
"The control of many of the great
industries slipped from the hands of
the financial interests of New' York,
and they started the trouble to
frighten Americans into selling out
their holdings and leaving Mexican
industries in their control and to
prevent any more Americans from
going into the country.
"You ask me what the people of
Mexico think of your President,
Woodrow Wilson. If 1 am placed in
Jail for uttering it I must speak the
truth. £rancisoo I. Madero was de
throned as President of Mexico be
cause the people of Mexico did not
want him. They regarded him as an
irresponsible man; a crazy man in
the control of the American financial
interests.
“The people of Mexico regard your
President Wilson as a man as crazy
as Francisco Madero ever was. They
regard him as a tool—an unw'illing
tool, perhaps, and an unknowing tool,
but a tool, nevertheless—in the hands
of the New York banking interests.
"There is not now and there never
has been, any necessity for American
Interference in Mexico. There is not
a ‘situation’ to cope with. Mexico
is as orderly as the United States.
"It is true there was rebellion when
Porflrio Diaz was ejected from the
country, and when the insane Madero
was dethroned by General Huerta.
"But now' the Huerta government
is established; it has control of the
great public utilities; the railroa 13
are running all over the republic and
all of the States are under the con
trol of the Government.
"It Is true that there are roving
bands of highwaymen and robbers,
called Constitutionalists and Zapn-
tists. But does not your United States
have robbers and highwaymen? Tii^
Constitutionalists and the Zapatlsts,
for all their high-sounding names, oc
cupy the same plane in Mexico that
your bands of burglars and thieves
occupy in the United States.
“President Huerta is one of the
most maligned men in the world. He
has been lied about in America be
cause he will not bow down to the
New York bankers and let them con
trol our country.
Think Wilson Is Tool.
"The Mexican people consider Pres
ident Huerta somew'hat in the light
that Americans consider George
Washington. He rescued the republic
from almost certain ruin. He has
been handicapped by your President
Wilson and your Mr. Lind but ev^n
with their interference he has done
wonders for Mexico.
"American newspapers have print
ed much about the dem mds of your
President Wilson and your Mr. Lin3
that President Huerta shall not be a
candidate in the coming elections. The
Mexican people know, and have al
ways known, that he has never in
tended to be a candidate
"There is only one man in Mexico
who has the approval of all factions
and who can be elected President.
That man is Felix Die*.
"Americans who live In Mexico did
not approve of the orders of President
Wilson that they leave the republic.
They laughed at him. There was
never any reason why they should
leave Mexico. Americans are in no
more danger in my country than thsv
would be in their own, and In most
cases are in less danger.
Mexican Killed in U. S.
"It is perhaps true that Americans
have been killed in Mexico. Does
anyone expect thousands of them to
live in a country and never get ii
trouble, when they are of all classes
Are not Mexicans killed in the United
States?
"In my own city of Tampico, a city
of 80,000 population, w'here there ara
10,000 Americans in business, repre
sentative members of the American
colony went to the United States Con
sul and told him they did not ap
prove of ITesident Wilson’s action in
attempting to interfere w'ith Mexi
can affairs.
“Not an American of the better
class left Tampico during the trouble,
and but very few Americans left the
qntlre republic. The only Americans
who left Mexico and who took ad
vantage of the American offer of free
transportation were the bums and the
loafers, who seized the chance to get
back home for nothing
"To start a war with Mexico would
be the worst thing ihe United States
oould do. It would embarrass thou
sands of Americans who are living
happily and making money in my
country.
Friendly to U. 8.
"No nation is more friendly toward
the United States than is Mexico, and
I do not think there will ever be any
necessity for America to send an
army across the border.”
Besides his three sons, Bartolo. Jr.,
Rafael and James. Mr. Rodriguez
was accompanied to Atlanta by An
tonio Chirinos and his two sons. Se-
varo and Porflrio, also of Tampico,
who will also enter the Georgia Mil
itary Academy.
His own action in sending his boys
to America to be educated and the
fact that the majority of the wealthy
citizens of Mexico send their sons to
this country instead of to Europe. Mr
Rodriguez declares, is proof that the
better clase of Mexicans entertain
nothing but friendly feeling for Amer
ica.
Tampico, where Mr. Rodriguez has
extensive business interests, and near
which is located his large cattle ranch,
is one of the largest cities in Mex
ico. It is located on the Gulf, in the
estate of Vera Cruz, and Is one of the
greatest oil-producing points in the
world.
Mr. Rodriguez says $800,000,000 is
invested by 62 companies in oil wells
and equipment, most of which is con
trolled by Americans. The wells yield
on an average 110,000 barrels of
crude petroleum a day.

Letters from Prominent Druggists
addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher.
S. J. Briggs ft Co., of Providence, R. I., Bay: "We have sold Fletcher's
Castorla In our three stores for the past twenty yeari and conelder It
one of the best preparations on the market.”
B. W. Stucky, of Indianapolis, Ind., says:' "To say that we have recom
mended and sold your Castorla for years Is the best endorsement we can
possibly give any preparation. It is surely full of merit and worthy of
recommendation.”
Henry R. Gray, of Montreal, Que., says: "I would say that your Cas
torla for children la In large demand and that It gives general satisfaction.
Not being a secret nostrum many medical men order It when circum
stances indicate the use of such a preparation.”
W. G. Marshall, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "We have found your Castorla
to be not only one of the best sellers In the medicine market, but a
preparation that gives almost nniversal satisfaction; in fact we cannot
recall having had a single complaint from any of oar customers who
have used it”
Owens ft Minor Drug Co., of Richmond, Va., says: "It Is with pleasure
that we lend our endorsement to Castorla. a preparation of proven
merit. During our long experience In the drug business we have had
abundant occasion to note the popularity of the genuine Fletoheris Css-
toria, which w# unhesitatingly recommend.”
Brannen ft Anthony of Atlanta, Ga., say: "No doubt If we were called
upon to state positively what medicine we had Bold for the greatest length
of time, the greatest number of bottles sold, and the most satisfactory
preparation to us and also to the customer, we feel that we could safely
and conscientiously Bay Fletcher’s Castoria.”
