a report from Plaquemine, La., that
tald of the finding thers of a human
hand. Few details gvere given in tie
telegram from the Chief of Police of
the town, and Chief Beavers wired for
further information.
Post Card lnvntlflnud.
A letter from George Baker, a res!-
dent of t he Louisiana city, also re
lated the finding of the hand. Tie
fact that Eloise in her death letter
sald that she had got rid of Beatrice
in New Orleans gave this discovery iis
significance.
A post card received by Willlam F
I'pshaw, assistant manager of the
Aetna Life Insurance Company, also
furnished a matter for investigation
The card was from San Antonio and
was signed by "“Dr. H. W. German,”|
P. O. Box 424, and inquired of Mr.
Upshaw as to his present address. Mr.
Upshaw told The Georgian that he
did not know German and that he did
not even know anyone in Ban Antonio.
However, he was well acquainted with
Beatrice Nelms and she held two pol
fcies in his company, which she had
permitted to lapse.
Inquiry was made |n SBan Antonio to
determine if there is a man there of
that name or if someone, posgibly one
of the sisters, is seeking to learn
something of the insurance policies.
Wired Woman to Come.
Eloise, The Georglan learned Sat
urday, implored the instant ald of the
mysterious ‘“Margaret Mims,” then

J. L. Bennett, who was supposed to
have made application for telegraph
money order to innes in behalf of
Mrs. Dennis, Saturday was elimi
nated from the mystery by Deteetive
W. F. Harper. Harper found a man
who had accompanieq Mrs. Dennis to
the telegraph offices and who saw her
write the name of Bennett instead of
her own name on the application for
the money order.
Planned Indiia Trip.
sDispatches Saturday to The Geaqr
gian revealed that Eloise, as long ago
as 1912, when she was a resident of
Salt Lake City, Utah, by the sup
posed arrangement of Victor Tnnes,
was planning the trip to India which
now appears to flgure so largely .n
the mystery of the missing Nelms
glsters,
J. D. Skeen, a lawyer in Salt Lake
and the man who procured rooms for
Mrs. Dennis !n Salt Lake at the re
quest of Innes, is the informant of
The Georglan, He also is authority
for the statement that Mrs. Dennis
wn®e a devoree of the Hindu religion
and a firm believer in reincarnation,
subjects to which Innes is said to
have given a great deal of attention.
Court Order for Messages, |
This information was expected to
‘receive added confirmation Saturday
‘after the finding of the numerous
telegrams that passed between Innes
and Mrs. Dennis on her return to
Atlanta. Armed with a court order,
lawyers for Mrs. J. W. Nelms,
mother of the missing sisters, began
a search for the messages that were
expected fully to establish the rela
tionship between the two.
Mrs. Dennis was a resident of Salt
Lake for about a month in the fall
of 1912, and those with whom she be
came acquainted at that time are in
clined to beljeve that the woman has
gone to Indla. Mrs, Dennis went to
Salt Lake apparently at the solicita
tion of Innes. At least, she went there
with a letter of introduction from him.
While she resided there her acquaint
ances formed the opinion she was
elther engaged to be married to In
nes or that the man had a strange
control over her, 7
~ While a woman of evident educa
tion and culture, she gave a great
‘deal of time to the study of the Hin
‘du religion, and was a firm bellever :n
the theory of reincarnation.
Lawyer Knows Innes.
The incident of the purchase of a
typewriter with Hindu characters is
believed by people there to be a fur
ther indication that the woman was
preparing for the trip to India and
was equipping herself to be better
able to write of conditions there.
Attorney Skeen of Salt Lake sald
to The Georgian's representative:
“1 first became acquainted with
Innes in Carson City in 1911 and 1612
at which time he was employed in the
United States Attorney’s office there.
He was more of a stenographer and
reporter than an attorney., At one
tima before T left, about February
1912, he asked me if I would locate
a boarding place for a young woman
who intended coming to Salt Lake.
“1 told him I would and in October,
1912, Mrs. Dennis came to my office
bearing one of Mr. Innes' cards and
a note of introduction. I took her
firat to my house and that evening
found her a bhoarding place at the
home of T. C. Callister, No. 77 O
street. My family becgme intimate
ly acquainted with her.
Spoke Highiy of Lawyer.
“She was an attractive woman,
highly educated, and spoke highly of
Mr. Innes. Innes never visited her
while she was in Salt Lake, so far as|
1 know, and I do not believe he has
been here since. Mrs. Dennis was ac
companied by her son, at that time
about 3 years old.
“She frequently spoke about going
to India and living with the Hindu
people. She whs an ardent student
of the religion of Buddha. After she
left here, going to her home in At
lanta, she wrote numerous letters to
my wife, always of a cheerful nature.
“The last letter came about a year
ago, and we have never heard from
her since, and have often wondered
why the correspondence was so sud
denly ended, unless by chance she had
really gone to India.”
New Conflict of Dates.
The actions of Eloise after she had
gone westward through Houston and
then rpesumably had returned to New
Orleans were clothed in deeper mys
tery Saturday by the statement of
The Georglan's correspondent in New
Orleans that the ticket from New Or
leans to San Francisco, signed “E.
Dennls,” was purchased June 22, in- |
stead of June 26 as first reported and
that it was taken up June 25 at El
Paso
This makes it difficult to explain
the authorship of the telegram that
was sent to Mrs. Nelms June 26 from
New Orleans, signed “L, and 8..” the
initials of the sisters. Two persons
bought transportation for San Fran
cisco on June 22 over the same route.
The detectives are seeking to find
whether it was Beatrice or another
person who accompanied Eloise.

a man resembling Innes who, she said,
had stopped her on the street one da)
in May and sought to engage her as
nurse to take care of a little boy
rabout 7 years old.
He told the negress that he was 0~
ing West with a party and that. the
hoy probably would be left in her care
in Carson City while the others went
fartner West, and perhaps made an
acean trip. The Henderson woman
sald that the man, accompanied by a
woman of about 33, called at he:
house the next day and made the ar
rangements. The negress sold her fur
niture in preparation for the trip but
never saw the man and woman again
Search for Telegrams wn.
Search began Saturday in the tele
graph offices in Atlanta and Marietta
for coplés of all telegrams that passed
between Mrs. Eloise Nelms Dennis
and Victor E. Innes, the Portland law-
yer, in the hope that these megsages
will throw important light on the
mystery of the strange disappearance
of Mrs. Dennis and her )'oun‘ger sis
ter, Miss Beatrice Nelms.
Following the signing of the order
for the telegrams by Judge Bell, on
application of Attorneys Reuben Ar
nold and J. A, Watson, Jr,, Clerk Ar
nold Broylés, of the Superior Court,
notified the companies to prezent the
telegrams to him, pursuant to the
court order.
It {s feared that a number of them
may be unavaliable, as it is the cus
tom of the telegraph companies to de
stroy all coples of telegrams that have
been on file In the offices one vear.
The {nvestigators, however, believe
suMcient messages will be found io
disclose important details concerning
the relations between Mrs. Dennis and
Victor Innes and possibly furnish a
clew to the present whereabouts of
the young woman, should she still be
alive.
Clerk to Get Messages.
Under the order of the court, all
coples of telegrams that passed he
tween the two during the year 1013
apd up to June 12 of this year are
to be produced. When they are turn
ed over to Clerk Broyles, they will
then be copied by the attorneys for
the Nelms family.
While the hunt for telegrams was
on and the tireles search for infor
‘mation of the missing girls was
being renewed with increased vigor,
‘Mrs. J. W. Nelms, the mother, who
has been appointed recelver for the
affairs of Miss Beatrice Nelms, Sat
urday opened an office in the offices
of F. M. Loveless, a real estate dealer,
in the Candler Bullding, where she
will look after all matters affecting
the business interests of the younger
sister. Miss Beatrice left a $§2,000
loan pending, and other incomplete
details, and Mrs. Nelms will take
charge of all of these matters
Mr. Loveless is a personal friend of
the Nelms family, and signed the 32,-
000 receivership bond for Mrs. Nelms,
Wouldn't Have Gone Alone.
Although Mr. Dennis had told
members of her family and numbers
of other persons that {t was her pur
pose to go to India, the police Satur
day worked hard on the theory that
she is still In the United States. They
are of the opinion that as it was her
original purpose, according to the
family, to go to India and marry Vie
tor Innes, she would not have at
tempted the journey alone,
They urge that If some hltch arose
fn the program that caused the fafl
ure of these plans and the return of
Innes to Portland, if he really met
her in Houston, she would have aban
doned the Indla trip and awaited
other developments. Because of her
reported wild Infatuation for Innes,
the police are firm in the belief that
shie never would have been permitted |
herself to be separated from him by
the Pacific Ocean.
L. P. Weathers, the real estate
dealer, in the Fourth National Bank,
who was a confidant of Mrs. Dennis
and who told of reading several of
the letters to her from Innes, has
added strength to this theory by a
new statement to the effect that Mrs
Dennis confided to him her intention
of hiding herself In this country for
one year until Innes could obtain a
divorce from his wife and marry her. |
Planned to Hiide on Ranch. |
It was Mrs. Dennis' purpose, ac
cording to Weathers, to go to the
Montana ranch, which was supposed
to have been bought with money she
is sald to have furnished Innes for in
vestment, and there llve in seclusion,
lost from the world. This supposed
ranch, as she described it, is situated
46 miles from a railroad in the north.
ern part of Montana, and {s an ideal
place for a person to live in hiding.
“Mrs. Dennis stressed the fact that
this land is 46 miles from a railroad,
and that she could successfully lose
herBelf there until Innes obtained lLis
divorce,” sald Weathers,
Every possiible effort {s belng made
to find whether such a ranch was
really bought for Mrs. Dennis. If the
land can be found, immediate search
will be instituted there in the hope of
finding the missing woman.
Mystery Grows With
Scrutiny of Tickets.
NEW ORLEANS, Juy 18.—Mystery
surrounding the disappearance of the
Nelms sisters deepened here to-day
after & minute scrutiny of the South
ern Pacific transportation said to have
been signed by E. Dennis at E Paso.
Instead of the ticket having been sold
here on June 26, as at first reported,
the agent's stamp shows the date of
[!he sale to have been June 22. At El
'Paso, where the ticket was taken up
and an exchange check given there
for, good for remainder of passage to
San Francisco, the stulb was signed
by E. Dennls, June 25, the date of
‘exchange by the conductor on train

Whether Beatrice Nelms was with
‘her sister on this trip is not clear.
‘However, the agent here says that E.
Dennis’ ticket was No. 4825, Ticket
'No. 48268, the next serial number, was
issued In exchange for Atlanta and
‘West Point transportation good to
San Francisco, probably at the same
‘ume No. 4826 was issued. The agent
does ndt recall who bought the trans
portation. The Atanta and West

via Northern route and valid for six
months or more.

Representative George Glenn, humorist, of Whitfield County,
the recognized funny man of the Georgia House of Representatives.
Whitfield Man Just Can't Take It
Seriously—His Bills Gems
of Humor.
So far as a thorough investiga
tion has been able to determine, Rep
resentative George Glenn. of Whit
fleld County, is not Humorist by
Special Appointment to His Speaking
Highness the Speaker of the House.
Rather !s he Humorist by Disap
pointment, for his constant and suc
cessful efforts to tickle the funny
bones of the members of the House
frequently bring expressions of pain
and sorrow to the face of the pre
siding officer.
Mr. Glenn admits that he was not
appointed to anything by anybody;
he doesn't need any appointments.
He walked into the House at the be
ginning of the session, turned the
caleium light upon himself and sat
down to bask in the light of supe
rior “humoristic qualities and abili-
The gentleman from Whitfleld is
the recognized funny man and jes
ter of the House. He takes very few
things seriously, and he would rath
er spring a good ioke on the House
than eat a Georgia watermelon.
The House's Lone Jouster.
He Is the Sancha Panza of nearly
two hundred Don Quixotes who are
out to do battle with anything and
everything that dares venture into
the open where they can be side
swiped by a legislative broadsword.
The only difference between Mr.
Glenn and the original Sancha—ex
cept, of course, the trivial one of
physical appearance—is that the
members of the House won't joust
worth a cent, This makes the gen
tleman from Whitfleld a lone jouster,
bur withal a good one.
Several vears ago Mr. Glenn was a
member of the House, and achieved
a national reputation as a legislative
joker, this being due to the number
of freakish, funny bills that he fired
from his brain onto the floor of the
House.
He tried to regulate everything,
but couldn't do it, so he didn’t come
back right away. This year he came
back and the comeback was vastly
different from that of other gentle
men who achieved fame and then
fell by the wayside.
The Governor's Cow.
Mr. Glenn came back, as you
might say, with both feet. landing
squarely on the funny bone of every
member of the House within a few
days after he was sworn in and took
his seat.
The first thing Mr. Glenn did was
to circulate around through the
Statehouse and get some Inside in
formation concerning a certain cow
belonging to Governor Slaton. He
discovered that the cow, like the rest
of Georgia, was Prehibition; very,
very dry, in fact
He learned also that on the ad
vice of Commissioner of Agriculture
J. D. Price, Governor Slaton had fed
to his bovine possession certain stock
powders, guaranteed to increase the
vield of milk to ten gallons a day.
Immediately thereafter the flow of
milk ceased, and the cow became a
liability instead of an asset.
Mr. Glenn thereupon, rising majes
tically in his humoristic might, in
troduced a resolution for the relief of
His Excellency the Governor, the gen
eral purport of which was to force
the Commissioner of Agriculture to
make good on his expert advice or
hereafter eat his own stock powders.
Tango Bill His Latest.
Having thus been given the plea
sure of hearing two minutes of guf
fawing from members of the House,
Mr. Glenn rested for three days. Then
he went to a tango party at the At
lanta Athletic Club, and came away
impressed with the need of a tango
bill. He posted on the House black
board a notice, reading like this:
“The committee on ‘Whither Are
We Drifting’ will hold a public hear
ing and seeing on the tango ques
tion this afternoon. A full atten
dance of members not full is desired.
Blinders will be provided.” He signed
it “Glenn, Chairman.”
Another period of rest. And then
Friday came a bill legalizing the
tango and all mpdern dances, and
giving authority to all officials of the
State to order professionals before
them for private performances, and
that public dances be given when
dignitaries visit. the State, so that
the days of King David and Sclomon
be revived.
And now they are wondering what
he is going to do next.
Water Department
Tests Bidders' Coal
The City Water Department be
gan Saturday the testing of coal sam
ples submitted by the companies
which recently placed bids with the
city for supplying coal for the fiscal
year at the river pumping station.
Each company bidding submitted a
car of the coal on which it based its
bids. This coal is to be burned un
der the boilers at the pumping sta
tion, and close inspection of all the
qualities noted and reported to the
Water Commission. The successful
bidder will supply the city with about
20,000 tons of coal.

The Rev. J. B. Cumming, financial
agent for the Birmingham College,
who is spending some time {n Hunts
ville and vicinity in the interest of
that institution, states that the fafl
ure of the city of Birmingham to lo
cate the new Methodist university
would have no effect upon the plans
to raise $250,000 for the Birmingham

“We shall go ahead with these

only difference being that it will take
us longer to work them out.”

picked soldiers who accompanied him
from Mexico City, General Victoriano
Huerta sent out word early to-day
that he would seek refuge under the
German flag and would sail for
Europe before night on the cruiser
Dresden. He eaid he would remain
in Europe until recalled by his coun
try.
The fleeing dictator’s announcement
was given out by his secretary, Jose
Melgano, after Huerta had held a
long' conference with General Blan
quet, former Minister of War, who
came to Puerto Mexico on the same
train with his chiief, and Captain
Koehler, of the Dresden s
The statement was issued at 3 2. m,,
six hours after Huerta arrived here.
It was as follows:
“When I took- the Presidency of
Mexico, I said, ‘I will bring peace to
Mexico, cost what it may’ Now, I
willingly give up the Presidency to
bring about peace. I do it cheer-
Lully.
Staff on Ship With Huerta.
“I have not treated at any time
with Carranza, and I know nothing of
any arrangements that Provisional
President Carbajal may make with
the rebels,
“I am going on board the Dresden
to-day. I will go to Eugépe to re
main until my country nedds me.”
General Blanquet and all the mem
bers of the general staff of the Mexi
can Federal army will accompaay
General .Huerta, Colonel Melgano
stated. Among the officers who wili
seek refuge in Europe rather than risk
execution after .the Carranzistas as
sume control in the capital are Gen
eral Eugenio Paredo, General Figue
ras, General Atherto Querosi, Gen
eral Leborio Fuentes, Colonel Gabriel
Huerta and seven other colonels and
captains.
With the statement from Huerta
announcing his intention of going to
Europe, Colonel Melgano also gave
out a copy of a dispatch sent by the
fugitive dictator to Provisional Presi
dent Carbajal, in which he pledged
his gervices if they might be needed.
It read:
“l wish that you and your Govern
ment remain united, which means
peace to the republic. If for this pur
pose you ever require my small as
sistance, I am ever at your service.”
Peace His Whole Ambition.
Huerta also gave out copies of dis
patches he had sent to foreign sover
eigns, Governors of the Mexican
States and the Mexican delegates to
the Niagara Falls conferences, be
gpeaking their friendship for the new
Government. To the delegates, Senors
Rabasa, El Guero and Rodriguez, he
sent this dispateh:
“I have resigned the Presidency,
leaving in my place Francisco Car
bajal, to whom I expect you to give
all your assistance. I've taken this
step to simplify the pacification of
the Republi¢, which is my whole am
bition.”
Huerta’s announcement that he
would take refuge under the German
flag on the Dresden caused surprise
here, as it has been supposed that
he would seek British refuge on the
cruiser Bristol, which his wife and
her party boarded upon arrival here.
So strong was the belief that Huerta
would sail on the Bristol that his
statement was accepted by many as
a ruse to throw off the track any plot
ters who might be planning to assass
inate him.
Drinking Steadily.
Though the trains carrying Huerta
and his troops came through from
the capital without any attempt be
ing made to wreck them, there was
no relaxation of vigilance during the
night to prevent an attempt on his
life. Only officials or army officers
of -high rank were permitted to ap
proach the car in which Huerta ar
rived. This was brought down to
the pier on a temporary track laid for
the purpose.
Troops detailed by General Rincon,
commander of the Puerto Mexico gar
rison, were on duty throughout the
night in the town, while the imme
diate vicinigry of the dictator’s car
was plcketed by members of the
Twenty-ninth Regiment, *“General
Blanquet's own,” who were chosen to
escort the fugitive from the capital.
A large supply of cognac was
brought by Huerta from Mexico City
and during most of the time that the
train was coming here he was drink
ing steadily. The light in his car was
not extinguished until early this
morning and through the window,
kept open on account of.the intense
heat, he could be seen sitting in his
ghirt sleeves with a bottle at his
elbow.

lished by agreement between General
Carranza and President Carbajal.
When this news reached General
villa to-day he declared that the lead
ers of the new' revolution would be
put to death unless they yielded.
| “I fear,” he said, “that we are in
only the middle stages of the revolu
tionary movement. Peace will come
only after the men have been driven

Urge Rebels to Hurry
Occupation of Capital.
MEXICO CITY, July 18.—Fearing
that if General Villa is the first of
the Constitutionalist leaders to en
ter the capital many of the supporters
of the Huerta Government will be
stmmarily executed, pressure is be
ing brought upon Provisional Presi
dent Carbajal to hasten the arrival
here of General Obregon and his rebel
troops. General Nava, who has the
confidence of the Huertistas, has gone
to Irapuato, to urge Qbregon to pre
pare for immediate entry into the
eity.
Obregon {s a staunch ally of Gen
eral Carranza and the foe of Viila.
He has refused several times to obey
Villa's orders, declaring that Car
ranza is the only chief whose au
thority he will recognize.
With the exception of the war
portfolio, which has been given to
General Velasco, no Cabinet places
‘have been filled by Carbajal.

holiday campaign “in the name of 10,-
000 weary clerks.”
