Government could not be held respon
sible for deserters, as it could for
loyal eoldiers, they claimed.
Americans Blamed,
Arother interesting angle deveioped
hy* the Mexicans is an effort to blame
Americiin authorities for failure to
put down the outlaws before their
crimes were started. They are re
calling the case of Jose Inez Salazar, |
who organized his mysterious Mvolu- |
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, hent on some tagsk which any ‘
day may bring another black deed to
ihe long record of Mexico. |
For the Glen Springs killings Mex
icans blame Antonio Villareal, old
yrofessional disturber, They say that
for weeks he has been preparing a
¥aid and fitharlng cutthroats. |
They claim to have warned the
American secret sgervice in this in
€tance, too, and declare that their
warnings were ignored.
Agents of certain “Interests,” Mex!-
cans claim, have been responsible for
a number of alarming stories 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 Obregon, McQuatters hnA!
been within listening distance of lhei
conference since it began. The Mex
icans pointed out that they brou;ht‘
none but military representatives to
the conferences, as had been request- |
ed by Generai Scott,
The State Guardsmen ordered out
by President Wilson are gathering ali
through the border States, according
to advices received here today. Con
siderable red tape is involved in their
mobilization, which will delay their

Mexican Agitators
Are Now Laying Low
(By International News Service.)
WABHINGTON, May 10,~Con
vinced that the United States Gov
ernment at last is In earnest in its
policy to suppress Mexican outrages,
Mexlcan agitaters along the bhorder
arve “laying low,” according to special
Teports received by the Department
of Justice from its agents on the bor
der. OfMcials say that they are not
reluxing their vigilance along the
Porder, but they feel that, for the
rresent, at least, the Mexicans who
have been causing most trouble will
fear to raise 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 raids over the border
were aided or planned by Americans,
Mexicans or Germans on this sgide,
The end of “watchful waiting” in
Mexico is believed to be In sight. Con
vinced that a break with Carranza in.
evitably must come, even though the
parleys between Scott and Obregon
should result in an agreement—some
thing ofMcials 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
Antonio as infantry is believed to be
the forerunner of orders to the avail
able force of 18,000 men of this branch
of the service to proceed to the bor
der. In addition, it is eonsidered cer
tain that within a very short time
additional National Guard forces will
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 present 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
their stations, orders for reinforce
ments will be issued, as it now is the
intention of the Administration to
make the border bandit-proof.
Not I.lva Trusted.
Incldentally, officlals are closely
watching the Carranzista troops who
are along the lines held by General
Pershing. They are not be{nl trust-

ed to any extent, and It is known that‘
Pershing has ordered that every pos
sible precaution bhe taken to prevent‘
a surprise attack at any point, ‘
The belief has attained conviction
in the minds of practically every army
officer here in Washington that the
raid on Glen Bprings 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 bYHorder, They de
clared that the effort to blame all of
the trouble on the Magoonistas, who
are known chiefly as the “Mexican 1.
W. W.,"” was forecast by official state
ments recently given out in Mexico
City
And in this connection attention
agaln is directed to the fact that the
Ambassador Designate himself is ad
mittedly strongly anti-American.
Although it Is known that the Pres.
ident is anxious to avoid general in
tervention in Mexico, I 8 prepared to
make as many concessions as possi
ble to give Carranza his opportunity
to demonstrate that he can control
the situation, the general feeling In
official 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 quletly continue for the
time when drastic action will be
forced. Very few officlals here be
lleve that Carranza will be able to
control matters vary much longer,
and when the break comes conditions
so chaotic 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 {s somewhere in the mouth of
Mexico, and officiale would not be
uurg;rl-od to learn at any time that
he had started his march northward
against Carranza. It Is understood
here that Diaz has practically unlim
ited financial resources, and that he
has sufficient arms and munitions to
maintain a very formidable revolu
tionary movement. There are many
officials 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 te 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 raise money
to meet the obligations he assumed
when he secured recognition.
General Scott today rerortod to the
War Department that hig conference
with Obregon last night lasted until
shortly before midnight, breaking :J»
without any agreement being reached.
Secretary ¥uker sald General Scott
had reported that the views of Car
ranza regarding the dll‘rocmon of the
new troops for border duty were dis
cussed throughout the evening, No
counter propgsals to the American
plans _have been made. The confer
ence was to be continued today, Gen
eral Scott reported,

Everything Amicable,
Declares Mexico City
(By International News Service.)
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO (via Gal
veston), May 10,—The novurpor El
Pueblo today publishes the following
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
foroes 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 Amerlca‘
earnestly ask that you do not permit
& peace-loving people like the Amer
feans to be dragged into an adven-.
ture in which will perish the princi
ples of clvilization and tranquillity
and well-being of America.
“History will be most severe on the
Executive who does not prevent by all
means possible war between !hef
United States and Mexico.
“The Mexican people and those of
all Latin America want a categorical
declaration from you as to the polley
you will observe toward these coun
tries.”

District Attorney Chief Speaker
Before Credit Men’s Annual
Meeting.
Merchants who are members of the
;Atlzmta Association of Credit Men
Wednesday were discussing the ad
aress of Hooper Alexander, United
States District Attorney, who spoke
belore the association’'s annual
\moe-ting 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 raflroads had
been established. el
Mr. Alexander brought out the im
portance of extending the Western
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 expect 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, chairman 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-
Yy, second vice president; J. W. Har
lan, treagurer, and Harry T. Moore,
secretary.
The following executive committee
men were elected: Willlam Akers, T.
J. Bryan, P. P. Henley, for one-year
term; T. L. Hoshal, Marcus Loeb and
E. G. Thomas, for two-vear term.

Mrs. McCarthy Loses

when the jury that heard the case
in Judge W. D. Ellis’' division of Su
perior Court directed that a mortgage
on her property at No. 449 REast
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 ereditors, the
J. J. Barnes-Fain Company, the White

Mrs. McCarthy to Mrs. Bush and the
mortgage be .canceled. Mrs. Me-

close out our entire stock of Grands,
Uprights, Player-Pianos and Organs,
we meant every word of it. When
we made the assertion that we would
cut prices on the best pianos and
organs as they were never cut before,
we meant every word of that, too.
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 halp 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.
Nothing will deter us. That we made
no mistake in our estimates as to
how the piano and organ buying pub
lic would appreciate an opportunity
like this is evidenced by the large
number of people attending this sa
since it started. - j
At the rate they are going. a
Judging from the large number of in
auiries from many sections of the
State, it looks like every instrument
will be takan 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 hest 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
gmnoo, player-pianos, organs, fixtures,
orses and everything, and do it
auickly, in two weeks or less. We
did net 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” columns.
