BARTOLO RODRIGUEZ AND IIIS SONS, BARTOLO, JR., RAFAEL, JAMES.
Declares That She Will Spend
Her Last Penny in Fight to
Keep Little Daughter.
Mrs. EMlth Barlow, a black-haired,
plsasant-featured woman, aKaIn baia
daflaneo Friday to her former hus-
band. J. E. Barlow, and all his wealth.
Standing In the hallway of her home
at No. 219 West Peachtree street, she
challenged 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 her moth
er'* aide, drinking In every word that
waa said and wondering why so much
fusa and ado should be made about
her whan she liked both 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 hi*
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
thst he might regain the child.
Child Criticises Hi* 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
gla*s 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 wa* in bet
ter position to care for the child than
ehe.
‘‘But I guess she won’t starve,” she
added, her smile returning. ”1 will he
able to give her all the advantagea
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,SOO to-dav
if he wanted to.”
Mentions Amount Suod For.
A coincidence Is that $26,000 Is ex
actly the alimony for which Mrs. Bur-
low is 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 sottlea It. Mt. Barlow vi I
dated his agreement under the term* j
of the divorce which awarded the
child to him when he refused to let
her come to see me.
"The court’s ruling was that Made
line should be allowed to visit me at
reasonable intervals. Mr. Barlow
never compiled with this ruling. There
were fifteen months that I never saw
my little girl. 1 wrote him as cour
teous letter ns 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 hud 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 t j
keep her.
Determined to Keep Her.
"Mr. Barlow was in contempt of
court when he refused to let me sec
the child, and he bus 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 there September 15 with n
group of financiers whom he wishes
to interest In a Cuban railroad proj
ect. After thut he will return to
Georgia to fight for possession of tne
child
Mrs. Barlow’s action, which asks
for permanent possession of Made
line. $25,000 alimony for the little
girl's support and an annulment of
Barlow's present marriage on the
ground that he obtained his divorce
illegally, will be heard before Judge
Littlejohn In Americas Heptember 27

Rumor That He Will Get New
Superior Court Judgeship
Gains Ground.
That Judge L. 8. Roan would be ap
pointed to the new Superior Court
Judgeship created by the last Legis
lature within the next 80 days was the
information Friday.
Although no Interviews 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 lattei has com
pleted his work In the Leo Frank case
on or about October 4, when the mo
tion for n new trial will be hoard.
Should Judge Roan receive the ap
pointment, which seems certain,
Charles S. Reed, Solicitor of the
Stone Mountain Circuit, probably will
be 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.

Says IJis Countrymen Consider Wilson Crazy
Here to Put Sons in Military College.
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 Wilson of the United States “as
crasy a man as Francisco I. Madero,"
and a tool Jn the hand3 of the great
American financial interests, Bartolo
Dodriguez, a wealthy landowner and
ranchman of Tampico, Vera Crus,
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. Rodrigue* 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.
"If it had not been for the bankers
and financial Interests of New York
City," Mr. Rodrigues 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 resource# 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 bulldoss President
Huerta; it was they who caused the
garbled and distorted reports of con
ditions In my country to bo spread
throughout the United States; it waa
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 Americana 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 ytfur President.
Woodrow Wilson. If I am placed in
Jail for uttering it I must speak the
truth. Francisco I. Madero was de
throned as ITesident of Mexico be
cause the people of Mexico did not
want him. They regarded him as an
irresponsible man. a crazy man in
th<» control of the American financial
interests.
"The people of Mexico regard your
President Wilson as a man os crazy
as Francisco Madero ever was. They
regard him as a tool—an unwilling
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
Porflrto 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 railroals
are running all over the republic and
all of the States are under the con
trol of the Government.
"It is true that there nre roving
bands of highwaymen and robbers,
called Constitutionalists and Zapa
tista. But does not your United State3
have robbers and highwaymen? The
Constitutionalists and the Zapatists,
for all their high-sounding names, oc
cupy the same plane in Mexico that
jour 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 somewhat In the light
that Americans consider Georgs
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
er) much about the demands of your
President Wilson and your Mr. LinJ
that President Huerta shall not be a
candidate In the coming elections. The
Mexican people know, and have al
ways known, that he ha* never in
tended to bs & candidate
"There is only one man in Mexico
who has the approval of all factions
and who can bs elected President.
That man Is Felix Die*.
“Americana who live in Mexico did
not approve of the orders of President
Wilson that they leave the republic.
They laughed at him. There waa
never any reason why they should
leave Mexico. Americans are in no
more danger in my country than the?
would be in their own. and in most
cases are in less danger.
Mexican Killed in U. S.
Tt is perhaps true that Americans
have been killed in Mexico. Doe*
anyone expect thousands of them to
live in a country' and never get in
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, where there are
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 President Wilson’s action in
attempting to interfere with Mexi
can affairs.
"Not an American of the better
class left Tampico during the trouble,
and but very row Americans left the
•jjitire 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, w'ho seized the chance to get
back home for nothing.
"To start a war with Mexico would
be the worst thing the United States
could do. It would embarrass thou
sands of Americans who are living
happily and making money in my
country.
Friendly to U. S.
"No nation is more friendly toward
the United States than is Mexico, and
1 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 Chirlnos 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 clasa 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
State of Vera Cruz, and is one of the
greatest oil-producing points in ths
world.
Mr. Rodriguez says £300,000.000 Is
Invested by 6*2 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.

S. J. Briggs S Co., of Providence. R. I., «ay: ‘ We have sold Fletcher's
Castor la In our three stores for the past twenty year* and consider it
one of the be«t preparation* on the market”
E. W. Stuck/, of Indianapolis, Ind.. *aya: "To any that we have recom
mended and sold your Caatoria for years is the best endorsement we can
possibly give any preparation. It la surely full of merit and worthy of
recommendation.”
Henry R. Gray, of Montreal. Que., says: "X would say that your Cas-
torla for children Is In large demand and that it gives general satisfaction.
Not being a secret nostrum many medical men order It when circum
stances Indicate the u*e of such a preparation."
W. G. Marshall, of Cleveland, Ohio, Bays: "We have found yonr Caatoria
to be not only one of the best seller* in the medicine market, but a
preparation that give* almost universal satisfaction; in fact we cannot
recall having had a single complaint from any of our customer* who
have ueed it.”
Owens k Minor Drug Co., of Richmond, Va., says: “It is with pleasure
that we lend our endorsement to Caatoria, 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 Fletoher'a Caw
torla, which w» unhesitatingly recommend.”
Brannen k Anthony of Atlanta, Ga„ say: “No doubt if we were called
upon to atate poeitirely what medicine we had sold for the greatest length
cf time, the greatest number of bottle* sold, and the most satisfactory
preparation to us and also to the customer, we feel that we could safely
and conscientiously say Fletcher’s Castoria. *
