Mexican President Declares That
Agents of U. S. Trust Backed
• Uprising Against Himself; He
Also Makes Charges of Bribery.
Further Asserts Present Strife
Will Continue Until Demand of
j
Monopoly for Government it
Can Control is Complied With.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 20.—Official
t representatives of Genera! Huerta
to-night directly accused the* Stand
ard Oil Company of financing the
Madero revolution, of attempting to
bribe Huerta and of declaring that
the present revolt would continue un -
• til the provisional President met the
Oil Trust’s terms.
These accusations were based on
the following dispatch from Mexico
City to Huerta’s aides in this city:
"A wealthy landowner in the State
of Jalisco makes sensational decla
rations regarding the part played by
the Standard Oil Company in Mexi
can events since the incipience of the
Madero revolution. He declares that
while in San Antonio the Texas
Standard Oil manager for the South
ern District of the L'nited States told
• him that until the Standard OU oh
s rained complete possession of oil wells
in Mexico revolutions would continue.
That is the reason the Standard Oil
supported the Maderist and opposed
, the Reyes movement.
"The Standard Oil offered to pre
sent the Mexican Government with a
$200,000,000 loan on easy terms, al
most at par, besides making assur
ance that the Huerta government
would receive immediate United
States recognition. The representa
tive of the Standard declared his com
pany controlled the United States
Senate.
“It also offered to pay a tax of
12 1-2 cents a barrel on oil instead of
a cents, the tax paid by British com
panies, the principal of which is the
Aguila Oil Company.
"The Standard Oil representative
declared his company would not rest
until Mexico has the President and
the government it wants.”
When the Madero revolution first
started, officials here declared that the
sources of the rebel funds would oe
found in Wall street, but no investi
gation ever was made there.
Huerta’s Appointee Is
Forced to Resign.
Special Cable to The American.
MEXICO CITY. Sept. 20.—Eduardo
Tamaritz, whose appointment as
Minister of Public Instruction has
been opposed by the Chamber of
Deputies, announced in the Chamber
this afternoon that he had resigned
his portfolio. The announcement,
which is regarded as a serious blow
to Huerta’s prestige, was received
with cheers, the naileries joining in
‘ applause.
• Huerta, in appointing Senor Tam,'
riz, neglected to obtain the approval
of the Deputies, as required by law.
The Deputies, ther- fore, declined tc
indorse the appointment.

Delapidation of Georgia's Peach
tree Residence Forces Gover
nor to Live in Own House.
The startling dilapidation into whi< n
the Governor’s Mansion on Peachtre* l
street has fallen, making it a dis
grace to the State of Georgia, has
given rise to the report that Gov
ernor and Mrs. John M. "*laton and
their family have abandoned it.
Since the refusal < f the last Legis
lature to vote an appropriation for a
new home for the Chief Executive,
the old mansion has been left practl-
[ ‘•ally to its fate. The Governor an i
his family.have removed to their spi
cious country home on Peachtree
road. Mr. Slaton said Saturday that
he would not return to the Mansi n
November 1, as was expected, and the
I probability is that tht Slatons wi’l
I remain at their country home all wt
I ter.
The old house has become danger
, ous as an abode. The latest mishap
j there occurred when, with a loud re
port. a larp’e area of -’ister fell from
the ceiling of the reception room,
covering the handsome Mansion pi
ano and furniture with debris.
Colonel Jesse Perry, private secnj,-
i tary to the Governor, who has re
sided in the house since it was va
cated by the Slaton family, was the
only occupant of the house.
Th' 4 nresent Mansion is one of the
oldest houses in Atlanta, having been
erected back in the seventies. Am »ng
| the celebrities it housed was Alexan
der H. Stephens, one time Governor
of Georgia and Vice President of i
Confederate States of America.
In recent years various attempts
have been made to dispose of the
property, as it was clearly rev >g
nized the State deserves a more ele
gant home for its Chief Executive.
Thus far these efforts have failed
because of alleged real estate deals in
connection with the disposition of ’t.

NEW YORK. Sept. 20.—Mlle. Po

tinction of being the ugliest woman
in the world, arrived to-day from
Paris. The French actress wore a
large pearl nose ring.
“It is a fad 1 began about two
months ago in Paris," said Mlle. Po
laire. "When the American women
try it they will like it. for really
there is some fascination in wearing
it.
“But even the pearl nose ring can
not console me for the loss of my

into the sea iyst three days ago. I
loved the little fellow and I gave

chairman of the new charter cam
paign committee gave out interviews
I Saturday for The Sunday American
which present vividly the vital issu s
in the election of Wednesday.
Though there have been but few
demonstrations during the new cha»
j ter campaign, students of Atlant ' *

tion is one of the most important t.
voters of Atlanta ever have had «u
decide.
Thus the statements setting forth
the viewpoints of the opposing sidts
amply prove.
The Issue Defined
The issue, in a sentence, is.
\\ lufiher the city is tu preserve u.-
1 present system in a slightly alter*? :
form by adopting the n«-w charter c
’to lay the groundwork for radical

i foist the “old ring” on the people of
| Atlanta for years to come, strengthen
i ing its control over the city govern
ment ami forestalling the adoption ff
, i new charter.

I Mayor Woodward dissects the char

dares its adoption imperils the wel

points out “joker” after “joker.”
which he declares were inserted for
the benefit of a few men thirsting for
political power.
Here is the Mayor’s statement in
’ full:
> *“To the People of Atlanta:
“For several years past it has been
the desire of the city of Atlanta to se
cure a new form of charter, and va
rious committees have been raised for
that purpose.
“During the campaign of lust fall
, I made it one of my platform pledges
to secure for this city a charter that
would produce better results, one that
would place responsibility and let the
people know who to hold accountabh
, for the business transactions of the
Met Opposition From Start.
’ “To that end a resolution was in
troduced at the first meeting of the
I General Council in January, that a
committee be appointed to take the
| matter in hand. It met opposition
from rhe first by a certain line-up of
’ the members of that body. A mass
meeting was called to meet at the
Kimball House. That mass meeting
adopted resolutions indorsing the
movement and appointed a commit-
• tee of 100 to appear before Council
1 at its next meeting for the purpose of
- carrying the object of the charter
i committee into effect.
“The General Council turned the re-
1 quest of that large body of men down
• abruptly, but finally agreed that an
other committee should be appointed,
that committee consisting of 25 men
I appointed that committee and ii
worked very zealously and openly,
and the public were kept advised a?
