Carranza Paves Way
For New Government!
(By International News Service.) l
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 15.—General
Carranza today issued a decree whlch'
paves the way for replacing the pres-l
ent de facto Government with a solid
constitutional government. A revi
sion of several of the most impor
tant articles of the plan of Guada
loupe, drawn on December 12, 1914, is
one of the plans outlined by Carran»i
ga. The decree also provides that each |
State and Territory shall elect a dep-|
uty to Congress and allows a sub-,
deputy for every 70,000 inhabitants, |
States having population beyond 70,-‘
000 will be allowed an extra deputy
for every additional 20,000. |
Carranza tomorrow will issue an-|
other document which will call for the;
election of members for a National
Congress. The election will take place
onh October 15, and the first session
of Congress will be on November 20,
probably in Coyoacan, a Mexico City
suburb.
The decree will make it positive
that those who opposed the constitu
tional government with arms can not
hold office. The re-formed consti
tution will be turned over to Congress
by Carranza with instruction to make
it conform to the plans of the Consti
tutional party. After the constitution
had been adopted, Carranza will call
for the election of President.
Mexico tomorrow will celebrate the
anniversary of its independence

The will of the late Joseph Rich
ardson, pioneer railroad man and
author, who died last week at his
home, “Alanhurst,” East Lake, dis
posed of SIIO,OOO cash and valuable
real estate in Atlaggp and Jackson
ville. It was flled just before the
fire which destroyed the DeKalb
County courthouse, but was saved
among other records. The will was
filed in DeKalb County because Mr.
Richardson lived in that county.
Of SIIO,OOO lite insurance $60,000
is left to Mrs. Richardson, while each
of his children is left SIO,OOO. The
children are Mrs. Pressley D. Yates,
wife of the president of the Ridley-
Yates wholesale dry goods and notion

wife of Major Reeves, of the Third
Cavalry, United States Army, sta
tioned at Fort Sam Houston, Texas;
Misses Gertrude and Louise Richard
son and Alan Richardson, of Atlanta.
Mr. Yates was named sole executor
in the will, and he has been named
president of the Richardson Invest
ment Company to succeed Mr. Rich

rated several years ago to handle Mr.
Richardson’'s real estate interests,
and the cash shares of the widow and
children have been put into it for re
investment, and they will share in
yroperiion as their interest appears.
The real estate consists of the home
place at East Lake, a number of val
uable East Lake residence lots, a
farm near East lLake of more than
100 acres, and property in Jackson

The climax to the fight for cus-}
tody of pretty 8-year-old Mildred
Dean came Friday in a dramatic
scene in Judge George L. Bell's di
vision of Superior Court, when Judge
Bell took the little girl from the
mother, Mrs. Sadie Dean, of No. 195
Ivy street, accused of kidnaping her
two weeks ago in an automobile, and
restored her to Mrs. Dean’s parents-
In-law, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dean, of
No. 137 Walton street, pending final
disposition of the child in divorce pro
ceedings now pending between the
younger Mrs. Dean and her husband.
Weeping convulsively, the young
mother clung to the golden-haired|
child and rained kisses on it as her
tears molstened its face. Frightened
by the stirring emotions of the moth
er, little Mildred, too, cried vigorous
ly as she tightly clasped her chubby
arms about the mother's neck and
held on tenaclously.
Young Mother Sobs.
“Judge, please let me keep her—
she wants to stay with me—please
don’'t take her away,” sobbed the
young woman. .
A few moments more and Mildred
was in the arms of her grandmother,
Mrs. J. W. Dean, and was taken from
the courtroom back to the Walton
street home, where she had lived for‘
the last year, up to the time she Was
spirited away in the auto by the
mother. i
Judge Bell ordered that Mrs. Sadle
Dean be permitted to see the little
girl at any time she may choose, and
instructed her to report immediately
to the court any refusal on the part
of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dean to com
ply with this order.
The restoring of the child to its
grandparents followed the charge by
Attorney Leonard J. Grossman, for
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dean, that
Mildred previously had been taken in
charge by the juvenile court in Bir
mingham and had been awarded to
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dean, after the
mother had left there,
Divorce to Decide Custody.
“I am not making final disposition
of the child, but simply am restoring
it to its former status prior to the
time, it was spirited away from the
grandparents by the mother. The
‘final daward will he made when the
Lflivono action is decided,” explained
Judge Bell
He further remarked that ordina
rily he gave disputed children to the
mother, as he considered the mother
the proper person to care for them.
iHe also told the Young mother that
‘“lt someone else had one of his chil
dren, he didn’t know but what he
‘would steal it, too, If he couldn’t get
it any other way.”
Young Mrs. Dean begged that she
be allowed to keep Mildred over
night, but the request was declined,
Judge Bell remarked that “as she
had spirited away the girl once, he
didn‘t feel like risking her.”

NIGHT
On the heels of the announcement of a sweeping victory for
the Allies in Macedonia, where the Bulgars are in flight after their
line had been smashed, comes the report that the British are now
dealing the Germans in France the heaviest blow they have suffered
since the first day of the great drive.
The mighty smash of the British has been under way all day
and has swept forward, according to the official announcement
made in London, over a four-mile front along the Albert-Bapaume
highway to a depth of from one to two miles.
The town of Flers, only four miles south of Bapaume, was cap
tured Friday afternoon, according to a dispatch from Frederick
Palmer. Theé correspondent of The London Daily News wires that
the German third line of defense has been broken. The presumption
is that the offensive is still under way.
Gains announced by the French War Office indicate that the
fall of Combles and then Peronne, which towns are key defenses of
the German line, is only a matter of days. The French drove for
ward, extending their positions to the southeast of Combles and to
the north of Peronne, and both towns are now in ‘‘pockets’’ and
are subject to attack from three sides.
