T 0 AD BORDER GUARDIANS
Government could not be held respon
sible for deserters, as it could for
loyal soldiers, they claimed.
Americans Blamed,
Another interesting angle deveioped
by the Mexicans is an effort to biame
American authorities for fallure to
put down the outlaws before their
crimes were started. They are re
caliing the case of Jose Inez Salazar,
who organized his mysterious revolu
tion in El Paso. Mexican secret serv
ice men warned American officers,
but Salazar was suffered to cross the
border, and is now somewhere In
Mexico, bent on some task which any
day may bring another black deed to
the long record of Mexico,
For the Glen Springs killings Mex
fcans blame Antonio Vlillareal, old
professional disturber. They say that
for weeks he has been preparing a
rald and gathering cutthroats,
They claim to have warned 'the
American secret service In this in
stance, too, and declare that their
warnings were ignored.
Agents of certain “Interests,” Mexi
cans claim, have been responsible for
a number of alarming storles calcu
lated to cause a break between the
Governments, if a break could be
brought about in this manner. In
this connection it is Interesting to
note that A. J. McQuatters, a min
ing man, was barred from last night's
conference, at the request of Minister
of War bbregon. McQuatters has
been within listening distance of the
conference since it began., The Mex
fcans pointed out that they brought
none but military representatives to
the conferences, as had been request
ed by General Scott,
The State Guardsmen ordered out
by President Wilson are gathering all
through the border States, according
to advices recelved here today. Cen
siderable red tape is involved in their
mobilization, which wlill delay their
being placed on duty for a week, at
least.
Mexican Agitators
Are Now Laying Low
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, May 10.»—«(‘0:\-‘
vinced that the United States Gov
ernment at last is in earnest in lta‘
policy to suppress Mexican outrages,
Mexican agitaters along the border
are “laying low,” according to special
reports recelved by the Department
of Justice from Its agents on the bor
der. Officials say that they are not
relaxing their vigilance along the
border, but they feel that, for the
present, at least, the Mexicans who
have been causing most trouble wlll‘
fear to ralse their heads.
Wholesale arrests have been made
during the past month, and still more
are expected as the result of the new
investigation Instituted by Attorney
General Gregory to determine wheth
er the latest ralds over the bhorder
were alded or planned by Armericans,
Mexicans or Germans on this side,
The end of “watchful waiting” in
Mexico is belleved to be in sight. Con
vinced that a break with Carranza in.
evitably must come, even though the
parieys between Scott and Obregon
should result in an agreement—some
thing officials consider unlikely—army
officers are perfecting all plans for the
sending of additional forces to the
border.
Last night's order to some 1,000
coast artillerymen to report at San
Antonto as infantry is belleved to be
the forerunner of orders to the avail
able force of 13,000 men of this branch
of the service to proceed to the bor
der. In addition, it Is considered cer
tain that within a very short time
additional National Guard forces wlll‘
be ordered out for active service.
Already the White House and the\
War Department are being besieged
with requests from the organized mi
litla for a chance for fleld service. It
is understood for the ?rmnt no or
ders will be issued until after General
Funston has had an opportunity to
adjust stations for the troops placed
at his disposal yesterday. |
But as soon as_these men are at
theilr stations, orders for reinforce
ments will be issued, as It now is the

ed to any extent, and it is known that
Pershing has ordered that every pos
sible precaution be taken to prevent
a surprise attack at any paint
The belles has attained conviction
in the minds of practically every army
officer here in Washington that the
raid on Glen Springs was ordered by
a Carranzista official, and that it was
conducted by Carranzista troops.
The denial by Ambassador Desig
nate Arredondo is not accepted by the
army officers who know Just what is
going on on the border. They de
clared that the effort to blame all of
the trouble on the Magoonistas, who
are known chiefly as the “Mexican L
W. W.,” wae forecast by official state
ments recently given out in Mexico
City.
And in t‘hls connection attention
again is directed to the fact that the
Ambassador Designate himself is ad
mittedly strongly anti-Americap.
Although It is known that the Pres
fdent {8 anxious to avold general in
tervention In Mexico, is prepared to
make as many concessions as possi
ble to glve €arranza his opportunity
to demonstrate that he can control
the situation, the general feellng in
effielal circles today was that all that
would be obtained If Obregon and
Scott reach an agreement will be a
postponement of the time when this
country must restore order south of
the Rio Grande,
Mass Troops on Border.
It is expected, should an agree
ment be reached between Obregon
and Scott, that the American troops
will be massed along the border and
preparations quietly continue for the
time when drastic action will be
forced. Very few officials here h}-
lleve that Carranza will be able “to
control matters v;.-}'y much longer,
and when the break’ comes conditions
so chaotiec as to force action by the
United States are certain to result.
There still Is much mystery con
cerning the whereabouts of Felix Diaz.
He is somewhere in the south of
Mexico, and efficlals would not be
surprised to learn at any time that
he had started his march northward
against Carranza. It is understood
here that Diaz has practically unlim
flted financial resources,” and that he
bhas sufficient arms and munitions to
maintain a very formidable revolu
tionary movement., There are many
officlals in Washington, especially in
Congress, who favor the Diaz move
ment, as they clalm he would be
able to command the financial sup
‘port which Carranza has falled to get,
and that if he got control of the Gov
ernment he would be able to main
tain It
And officlals very frankly state that
the great danger of the Carranza rule
is his utter inability to ralse money
to meet the obligations he assumed
when he gecured recognition.
‘ General Scott today reported to the
War Department that his confeyence
with Obregon last night lasted untll
shortly before midnight, breaking up
without any agreement being reached,
Secretary Baker sald General Scott
had reported that the views of Car
ranza regarding the disposition of the
new troops for border duty were dis
cussed throughout the evening. No
counter proposals to the American
plans have been made. The confer
ence was to be continued today, Gen
eral Scott reported.

(Bv International News Servioce.)
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO (via Gal
veston), May 10.—The nflnfon er El
Pueblo today publishes the olrowlnl
statement from the Minister of For
elgn Affairs:
“The conferences between General
Obregon and General Scott have end
ed satisfactorily, The forces of both
countries will in the future avold such
cases as Columbus. The conferences
will be resumed only to settle the de
talls of the withdrawal of American
forces from Mexico."
The general public is becoming un
easy over the border situation. This
feeling is reflected In a cablegram sent
to President Wilson by Dr. Atl, lead
er of the labor party, in which he
says:
“We intellectuals of Latin America
earnestly ask that you do not permit
a mco—lov!n: people like the Amer
fcans to be rufied into an adven
ture In which will perish the princi
ples of civilization and tranquillity
and well-being of America.
“History will be most severe on the

“The Mexican people and those of
all Latin America want a categorical

have come reluctantly to thev:oz:c\:luclon that it is now the solemn duty of
the United States to enter Mexico and assume control of that unfortunate
country and give to the Mexican people that stability of government
which they are now unable and helpless to establish, whether it atkes ten

City Officials.
(By International News Service,)
CHICAGO, May 10.—Activities of
Chicago strikers increased by leaps
and bounds today,
Fifteen hundred garment workers
made good their threat to strike dur
ing the forenoon, and walked out of
the plant of B. Kuppenheimer & Co.,
singing and cheering. Further addi
tions to the strikers’ ranks were ex
pected from the downtown shops,
In addition to the garment workers,
more than 400 street cleaners, em
ployed by the city, lald down their
shovels and brooms and demanded an
increase in wages. They refuse to
work while their demand is being con
sidered.
Despite the increased activities,
there was no violence. Chief of Police
Healey, however, today canceled all
vacations of p 'icemen. With the in
dustrial situation like a powder mag
azine, It was sald no chances would
be taken, .

instituted In Superior Court against T.
J. Jackson, a contractor of Marietta, by
the Southern Flour and Grain Company,
of Atlanta, whieh charged that he had
violated an Injunction of the Atlanta
court,
Judge John T. Pendleton cited Jack
son to appear before him on May 27 to
show why he should not be adjudged in
contempt,
The action was based on the alleged
failure of Jackson to turn over to a re
celver the proceedd of a $2,000 draft, as
directed by the court. Jackson, it was
set out, prior to this order of the court
had been restrained from in any way
disposing of the draft. It was charged
that, despite this order, he deposited
the draft to his credit In the Marietta
Trust and Banking Company and later
drew a check on 7! for $906.67, with
which amount he paid a personal note.

iDastrlct Attorney Chief Speaker
Before Credit Men’s Annual
Meeting.
~ Merchants who are members of the
‘Atlanta Association of Credit Men
!\Vednesday were discussing the ad
‘dress of Hooper Alexander, United
‘States District Attorney, who spoke
‘before the association’s annual
'meeting at the Hotel Ansley Tuesday
night.. He declared that the people
would never be relieved of unreason
ably high freight rates until a Gov
ernment ownership of railroads had
'been established.
~ Mr. Alexander brought out the im
‘po'rtance of extending the Waestern
‘and Atlantic Railroad to the sea, and
further impressed his opposition to
any sale of the road by the State to
private ownership. The State’s'own
ership of the road, he declared, will
serve more than anything else to es
tablish fair and equitable freight
rates for Georgia, and if it should be
sold the people might expeét an in
creased burden of discrimination.
Reports were made to the credit
men by J. L. Baldwin, retiring presi
dent; J. W. Harlan, treasurer; E. L.
Adams, chairman of the adjustment
bureau; E. H. Choate, chalrman of
the credit exchange bureau, and P.
P. Hanley, chairman of the fire insur
ance committee. ;
H. D. Carter was elected president
for the year. J. Leßoy Duncan was
elected first vice president; E:'R. Pa
py, second vice president; J. W. Har
lan, treasurer, and Harry T. Moore,
secretary.
The following executive committee
men were elected: William Akers, T.
J. Bryan, P. P. Henley, for one-year
term; T. L. Hoshal, Marcus Loeb and
E. G. Thomas, for two-year term.
Delegates to the convention of the
National Association of Credit Men,
which meets in" Pittshurg, will be J.

’elected were William Akers, P. P,

Mrs. McCarthy Loses
‘ . .
- In Buit by Creditors
Creditors won in their suit against
Mrs. Julia McCarthy, one of the prin
cipals in the famous infernal ma
chine mystery of several years ago,
when the jury that heard the case
in Jydge W. D. Ellis’ division of Su
perior Court directed that a mortgage
on her property at No. 449 FEast
Georgia avenue be taken in charge
by the trustee in bankruptcy, George
B. Rush.
This mortgage had been taken by
Mrs. Kate Bush, daughter of Mrs. Me¢-
Carthy, from another daughter, Miss
Mary E. McCarthy, for a loan of
$1:600. The petitioning creditors, the
J. J. Barnes-Fain Company, the White
Provision Company and C. J. Bais
den & Co., asked that a deed from
Mrs. McCarthy to Mrs. Bush and the
mortgage be canceled. Mrs. Mec-
Carthy formerly conducted a store in

And when we told the people of At
lanta and Georgia that this would be
the one big piano and organ oppor
tunity perhaps for years to come, we
knew what we were talking about,
knew that the Instruments at the
plainly marked prices would bear out
every assertion made., If this great
“Quit-Business Sale” is going to dis
turb piano and organ prices in this
section for a long time to come, we
can’t help it.
Furniture, Fixtures, and Wagons.
We are going to quit business, close
out. Every instrument, together with
furniture, fixtures and wagons, and
put them into cash or good notes and
contracts and must do it quickly.
Nothine will deter us. That we made
no mistake in our estimates as to
how the plano and organ buying pub
lic would appreciate an opportunity
like this is evidenced by the large
number of people attending this sale
since it started.
At the rate they are going, and
judging from the large number of in
auiries from many sectbons of the
Gtate, it looks like every instrument
will be taken before the time limit of
the sale expires.
The prices we have made should
sell every Instrument in two weeks’
time. Of one thing we are certain,
and that is, these bargains will not
remain long after the people realize
what it means to buy the best planos
and organs at cut-in-two prices, and
on easy terms at that. »
FAR BELOW COST.
As above stated our one desire is
to close out this large stock of good
pianos, player-pianos, organs, fixtures,
horses and everything, and do it
ouickly, in two weeks or less. We
did not stop at cutting off all profit,
Even if raising poultry or
pigeons is only a side issue
with you, there’d be pleas
ure in making it profitable,
wouldn’t there?
It is easily done through
carefully reading and fre
quently using The Georgian-
American’s “Poultry, Pigeon,
Pet and Live Stock” eolumns.
