S. FLEE! MUSSED HI WASHINGTON. Dec. 18 - Practi cally the entire American Heel now n Mexican water* ban been manned outside Tampico, according to dis patches from Rear Admiral Fletcher io the Navy Department this after noon. The battleship Virginia, the Rhode Island and New Jersey are at anchor well off the city, while the gunboats Wheeling and Tacoma are further inshore. Navy Department officials are considering the advis ability of transferring the remainder of the American fleet from Vera Cruz to Tampico. Admiral Fletcher has ordered all Americans out of Tampico. About 500 refugees have been taken aboard the warships. All American women and children have been taken out of the city, but some men have preferred to remain in Tampico, despite Ad- giiral Fletcher’s warning. The commander of the American fleet reports that all foreigners are safe. The Navy Department ('bar tered the Ward liner Morro Castle to go to Tampico and take on board such refugees as may wish to leave. The Morro Castle will reach Tampico to-morrow morning. Situation Growirxj Worse. Admiral Fletcher reports that the situation at Tampico is steadily get ting worse Heavy fighting continues and the Mexican gunboat Rravo is shelling the position of the Constitu tionalists. Admiral Fletcher has not yet land ed any marines, but he Is holding a considerable force ready for instant action if either side threatens foreign property, which, up to this time, has not been violated. Admiral Fletcher has served notice on the fighting Mexican rebels and Federals that they must, follow the rules of civilized warfare. lie reported to Secretary of the Navy Daniels by wireless to-day that the battle was still going on there, but that he had made formal pro test in “the name of humanity against the hanging of all prisoners taken by each side.” This was the first intimation the Government had received triat the < ontestants at Tampico were using the same barbaric methods of war fare that lots characterized former fighting in Northern Mexico. 68 Shot or Hanged. Admiral Fletcher’s dispatch further slated that General Aguilar, rebel commander, is reported to have ar rived just outside Tampico with 8,000 men. The Mexican Federal gunboats Vera Cruz and Progreso are en route from Vera Cruz to Tampfco. Admiral Fletcher's protest, which he says has been transmitted to both t fie Federal and rebel commanders, was brought about by the hanging of ihrec rebels by the Federal* in full view of the shipping and the city. About 66 other prisoners also have been shot or hanged. Admiral Fletch er did not report what answer was made to his protest. The neutral zone established by the American commander and guard ed by the guns of the American fleet has not been violated. Arrangements have been made to care for all the Americans at Tampico, about 500. The army transport Sumner, which sailed from Galveston, Texas, will take the majority of these refugees on board and care for them until fighting is concluded. Spain Demands Protection. New complications developed In the Mexican situation to-day that may result in forcing the American Gov- • rnment to abandon its ‘ waiting pol icy.” They were brought about by a de mand from Spain that her subjects at ‘ hihuahua City be protected by th) United States. The rebels under Gen eral Villa are alleged to have thTe.it- • tied them with death unless they leave. The Spanish demand was made by the Spanish Minister. Don Juan Rlano, through Secretary State Bryan. Secretary Bryan immediate- h sent word to the rebel command ers near Chihuahua that the United States would hold them personally responsible for any injury to foreign ers. Senor Riano called Secretary Bry- . ( n s attention to the fart that the rebel leaders at Chihuahua havo promised to spit re the lives of all the inhabitants of the city except tho Spaniards. Immediate Action Urged. The Spanish Minister Informed f he State Department that he had been instructed bv his Foreign Office to re- ouest Immediate action by the United States. He was told by Secretary Bryan that the United States "would do everything possible to protect for eigners in Mexico.” and the message to the rebel leaders, which was sent to Consul Letcher at Chihuahua, was Riano.

Orozco to Go to Relief of Mercado. PRESIDIO. TEXAS (By U. S. Army Telephone to Marfa), Dec. 18.— : General Pascual Orozco, commander j of the Mexican Federals in Ojinaga. formed a relief brigade to-day to be sent south to the assistance of the troops under General Mercado, if they do not arrive within twenty-four • hours. General Mercado, who was in com mand of the Federals guarding the rear of the refugees who fled to the border from - Chihuahua City, was scheduled to arrive here on Thurs j day and it is feared that he waft trapped by Constitutionalists under General Herrera. Hundreds of civilian refugees are with General Mercado and. according 1 to fugitives who arrived with the I vanguard of the caravan many of those who have been forced to fight with the soldiers. Weapons are even forced into tlie hands of women, it Is charged, when the attacks of the Con stitutionalists became severe Forty-five wagons loaded w ith pro visions for the troops arrived to day from Marfa and, after being in spected by the customs authorities were allowed to cross the border. Forthy-flve more loads are on the way. Police Investigate Alleged Conspiracy To Steal Atlanta Lad The police have started an inves tigation of an alleged conspiracy 10 abduct a 14-year-old Atlanta boy, Al bert East. Charges have been mado i in a letetr to Chief Beavers from W. j P. Wallis, an attorney, of Americus, G-a.. where the boy is said to be in destitute circumstances. Mr. Wallis writes that the boy’s mother, a Mrs. Willis, lives In Jack sonville. but because the child does ! not know the first name of his step father the attorney has been una-bie i to locate her. Tho letter charges that the boy "was | lured from Atlanta by two strangers under pretense of taking him to his mother in Jacksonville. They ap peared shortly after the boy received a letter from his mother, in which she stated that a man would call for him and put on a Jacksonville .rain. According to Wallis’ letter, how ever. one of the men put the boy on a train and ,took him to Richmond, w here he was deserted. Another man then appeared and took the boy to Americus, where the hoy was again deserted. Ceremony to Mark Return of Stolen 'MonaLisa’toFrance it is evident enough that the rail roads are to withdraw , to all practical purposes, their mileage hooks in Geor gia, both interchangeable and indi vidual. as a result of the Supreme Court’s recent affirmation of the Rail road Commission’s order promulgated a year or so ago. Interchangeable mileage has been withdrawn entirely, in its intrastate aspect, and even individual mileage is to be sold at the maximum rate only, which, in effect, withdraws it. One or two roads among them the A.. B. A. still will sell individual Intrastate mileage at a reduced rate, hut the majority of the roads will fol low fhe lead of tin* Central. It looks, therefore, very much as if the mileage-pulling warfare between the traveling men and the railroads it a* an end—at least, it likely will not again take on an aggressive form soon. It may be that the traveling men will ask the Railroad Commis sion to say whether the roads, hav ing granted reduced mileage, even voluntarily, now' have the right to withdraw it without the commission’s permission—but even that does not seem likely. Moreover, just now does not appear to he a promising time to begin a war for a reduction of the maximum pas senger rate in Georgia to 2 cents—as has been threatened. The public generally seems to feel not only that the roads can not stand such a reduction, but that there is a gruve doubt whether they really arc getting along ms well as they should under the present arrangement. In other words, a fight against the railroads now probably would have a terrific hack-kick In it, and for that reason does not appeal to the politi cians and is not at all likely to be started. It is, of course, "somebody’* move” in the mileage-pulling matter, but there does not seem to be "some body” on the horizon willing to move. It is rather tickiiSM business—this “monkeying with the mileage buzz »aw”—just now, and the best bet ap parently is that the matter will be left as it is for—well, for some time to come, anyway! Representative Ed Wohlwender. of Muscogee, the "very most virile” member of the Georgia. Lewislature. a fn Atlanta to-day. Mr. Wohlwender is, in some ways, the most persuasive speaker in the House, and when he begin*} talking about something the other members make up their minds then and there to vote for it, if only to stop the weir and tear on W oh lw end er’s lunge, which are confidently believed to be made of leather. The gentleman from Muscogee has very decided ideas about things, an 1 rarely fails to "bat over” whatever he undertakes. And one big recuem is that everybody likes Wohlwender. and he generally stand* for level headed and sensible things only— and when he doesn't, nobody holds it against him. Governor Slaton to-day received the following communication, by way of a postal card: "The largest bale of cotton on rec ord In this section has been ginned in Toombs County and was bandied through the press here by a local cot ton concern. The bale weighed 800 rounds and brought the farmer $ 1 JO and the seed clear. The cotton was dry and in good condition and graded middling. No record of a heavier bale is known in this section." The Governor thinks perhaps this is the record bale ?)f the entire State. The return of the Governor after an absence of two weeks from his offices in the Capitol brought about a wholesale rush of visitors of one sort and another, wishing some ser vice at his hands. Within an hour of Ms arrival in Atlanta Friday he was in the Capitol, closeted with his private secretary, and hard at work. An immense amount of correspondence had accu mulated during his absence, despite the efforts of his assistants to get as much out of the way as possible. Something like 100 letters come to the Governor every day, and a large percentage of them require his per sonal and most discriminating atten tion. Thus it happened that he and his secretaries were up against about an even thousand messages of va rious sorts, that were immediately to be disposed of. Governor Slaton is very rapid at his official labors, however, and gets rid of an immense amount of work—par ticularly letters- in a very short space of time. At the same time, too, he is given to writing long letters rather than short ones. The Governor expects to be in At lanta continuously now for a good many weeks, as there are no engage ments ahead soon requiring that he leave the city. The State has been invited to ap pear by counsel or committee before the House Committee on Agriculture in Washington to discuss the pending Federal aid to the good roads meas ure. Georgia lias no particular official to whom this duty might properly fall- such hr a Highway Commissioner, for instance and so it will be necessary for the Governor to name some per son or persons of his own motion to undertake this vei*y important work. It may be that the State Commission er of Agriculture will be placed >n the delegation to go to Washington in this matter, but associated with him there will be others. This proposed aid to good roads, under the terms and conditions thv* Federal Congress will impose, is i matter of very great interest and importance to Georgia. The national Government is to extend financial aid, in co-operation with the various States and subdivisions thereof, in the matter of building and maintain ing good roads for postal purposes. Georgia has been having some dif ficulty getting a satisfactory line on the work to be done, as the Federal Government will not extend aid to roads eons true ted either in part or in whole by convict labor. It is believed, however, that some plan may be worked out whereby Georgia may participate in this fund, and it is that question the Agricul tural Committee of the Congress is inviting Georgia representatives to discuss. GIRL 15 SOUGHT IS VICTIM OF Story of Young Woman Freed From Thrall Being Traced by Federal Investigator. C'Jews indicating that Samuel A Stoe and his wife, Mrs. Annie Stoe t> who are now under arrest charges with having lured Mrs. Annie Bond, a 17-year-old girl, Into the meshes of white slavery, may be the directing heads of a gang of white slavers whose operations extend to various towns in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina, are being investigated by I. J. Baley, chief of the Southern Divi sion of the Federal Bureau of Inves tigation, following a long conference with Mrs. Bond. The investigation is centering in Atlanta, where the Stoes are sup posed to have brought a I5-year-old Athens girl and placed her in one of the cheap hotels that still operate practically wide-open resorts. Al though Mr. Baley refused to commit himself as to his plans for the inves tigation, it is definitely understood that he contemplates a search of prac tically every hotel of the cheaper class in the city in quest of the girl, who is said to be under the domination of Stoe and his wife, and turning all her earnings over to them. Made Dazzling Promises. According to the story told Mr. Ba ley by the Bond girl, Mrs. Stoe met the 15-year-old girl in Athens several months ago and, by promises of gor geous gowns and unlimited quanti ties of jewelry, induced her to run away from home and come to Atlan ta. The woman wrote the girl a let ter, Mrs. Bond said Mrs. Stoe told her, telling her when to come to At lanta and where to stop during the Rain Pours Again on Texas Flood Area; Towns Under Water GALVESTON, TEXAS, Dec. 13. —It Is raining heavily again to-day in the flood-stricken district, and the flood waters from the Brazos and Colorado Rivers inundated several more towns. Relief trains rushing to the stricken area were halted because of the bad condition of the railroads, and thou sands of refugees encamped on the elevated lands are in danger of star vation, as well as death from expo sure. The town of Anchor is under ten feet of water, while from six to eight feet of water is rushing through othei towns. Many houses are being car ried away TO ENLARGE COLLEGE. MILLEDGEVILLE, Dec.' 13.—Plans are being made to enlarge the Geor gia Military College soon to accom modate the number of students ex pected next year. A large dormitory will be built nexi spring. progress of the arrangements to get her into one of the hotels. This let ter Mr. Baley is now endeavoring to locate, but so far has met with no success. Federal agents in Birmingham and other cities probably will take up the case at that end, and strenuous ef forts will be made to uncover the op erations of the alleged gang. The Htoes have refused to make any state ment, and have declared that the Bond girl took up the life she has now deserted of her own free will. They deny that she was lured into a Whitehall street rooming house and drugged. Deny Existence of Gang. They deny also the existence of any gang, and profess to know nothing of the case of the child in Athens, or the existence of any other victims. "It may be that we are following a blind lead." Mr. Baley said Saturday morning, "but the story told by Mrs Bond has the ring of truth, and we propose to make a thorough investi gation, especially of the case of the Athens girl.” $31,001 LOOT OF DIXIE T Balking Express Messenger Club bed With Revolver and Thrown From Car—Posses Search. NEW ORLEANS, Dei 1 . 13—A lone bandit who robbed the Sunset Express was sought in the country north of New Orleans by Sheriff’s posses to day. The man obtained several pack ages of cash, reported to contain more than $30,000. James Arnold, the express messen ger, who was knocked unconscious by a blow from the bandit’s revolver butt and thrown from the moving train, was in a serious condition in a local hospital to-day. He was unable to give a good description of the bandit. According to report made to the police, the man hoarded the train as it was leaving New Orleans. Threat ening Arnold and the assistant mes senger with his revolver, he ordered them to produce whatever cash was in the car. When Arnold refused, the bandit struck him and then hurled him out of the car door. The assistant gave up the packages of money. Each package, the police were told, contained $1,000. The robber swung off the train be fore it had attained full speed and disappeared.

Tn spite of the fact that the word dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it will not be fair for many to lay the blame on the cook if they begin the Christmas dinner with little appe tito and end it with distress or nau sea. It may not be fair for any to do that let us hope so for the sake of the cook! The disease dyspepsia indicates a bad stomach, that is a weak stomach, rather than a bad cook, and for a weak stomach there is nothing else equal to Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It gives the stomach vigor and tone, cures dys pepsia, creates appetite, and makes eating the pleasure it should be.—Advt - FOR GLASS WEARERS. For your friends who wear glasses.

ROME, Dec. 13.—An international event of m ijor importance will be made of the return to the French Government of the priceless art masterpiece, "l>a Gioconda,” or "Mona Lisa." as it is also known. The painting, which was stolen fron) the Louvre in Paris and subsequent ly discovered in Florence, will be re turned to the French Government through the Ambassador at Rome and will be accompanied by brilliant I ceremonies designed to cement the i friendship of the two governments. The thief, Vincenzo Perugia, prob- I ably will he committed to an insane | asylum as a lesult of irrational state- i ments he has made in defense of | himself. Perugia declares he stole I the picture in retaliation for wrongs j committed against Italy by Napoleon. Two carabineers have been detailed ; to watch the painting night and day ; until it is formally turned over to the 1 French authorities. An interested audience at the Au ditorium-Armory Friday night heard a great concert by Channing Ellery’s wonderful band, which was at its best if that line organization ever is anything else. A brass band i* exactly what the Ellery band is. for the famous band master has carefully adhered to the instruments belonging of right to that type of organization, and never has suffered himself to be led away into seeking after a partial orchestra ef fect. Trumpets instead of cornets, perhaps—but they are equally legiti mate as band instruments, with an added quality of tone. Anyway, there are in this world many persons, and cultivated musi- | cians at that, who prefer the power and sweep of a big and lively band to the best efforts of an orchestra, ex cept in a few instances when the su perior tone shading of the strings Is required. But there are few pieces indeed on which the Ellery hand can not hold Its own with the best of the orchestra, and in its own particular field—the operatic and semi-classical selections — the Ellery band is unexcelled. Even in that wonderful symplumy of Listz's, "Les Preludes," the big band was entirely adequate, and it stirred the Friday night audience as symphonies rarely reach ordinary gatherings. The two singers with the band were instantly popular. Thomas Wallace and Payne Young, tenor and baritone, sang delightfully to a piano accom paniment by Mr. Ellery, Taddeo dl Girolamo directing the band. The concert was the first of a se ries here under the auspices of the Music Festival Association. Nurse Averts Panic In Hospital While Next House Burns Miss 8. J.
