TITE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. RICH MEXICAN BLAMES NEW YORK BANKERS FOR HUERTA’S TROUBLES 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.

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.

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. Severe Cough Led To Lung Trouble Suffarera with Pun* Trouble arr rerely will- I Inf to acknowladg* the feet.
