WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—In com
pliance with the request of Mrs. Luls
?d‘Antln, widow of the former Ameri
can diplomat whose recent death in
' Mexico wag surrounded with circum
'stuntial evidence pointing to foul
play, the State Department today
started an official inquiry,
~ State Department agents in Mexico
City and San Luis Potos| wero wired
instructions to collect all evidence
possible and forward it as fast as
possible to the United States.
One of the most suspicious circum
stances surrounding the case is that
some official of the Carranza regime
requested that Dr. d’Antln accompa
ny Mr. Arredondo to Mexico. He
served here principally as an inter
preter when It was necessary for Eli
s6o Arredondo, former Ambassador
Designate of Mexico in Washington,
to deal verbally with Secretary Lan
sing or other State Department offi
clals.
State Department officials did not
share the feeling expressed today by
Mrs. d'Antin, in New York, that pos
sibly her husband had not yet been
killed. The latest animosity toward
d’Antin by Mexicany, it was said here
today, probably was due to the erro
neous impression that he had in
formed the American press when Mr.
Arredondo was to be withdrawn.
While proving to be trus, Mr. Ane-‘
dondo saw fit at the time to meet the
published reports with a flood of de
nials,

THE ATLANTA GEORJIAN.
Officials of the grezt Southeastern
Land Show, which opens at the Au
ditorium February 1, were jubilant
Wednesday over the hearty indorse
ment of the project by Governor
Harris and Mayor Candler, both of
whom had issued proclamations urg
ing every Atlantan and Georgian to
support the msoil exposition in every
possible way.
Mayor Candler’'s proclamation was
as follows:
Whereas the Southeastern Land
Bhow has been organized under
the auspices of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce in co-op
eration with progressive citizens
of Georgia, Alabama, Florkia and
South Carolina, for the purpose
of exhibiting the soil and its
products, the mineral, forest and
other resources of the Southeast,
in order to stimulate and encour
age greater industrial develop- ‘
ment and the bringing into the
Southeast of investments and de- |
sirable gettlers, and arousing in- |
terest among our own people for
home-grown food orops and di
versified agriculture; and
Whereas similar exhibitions
have proved highly successful in
the Northwest and in California,
and in view of the fact that the
' Southeastern Land Show is to be
staged in Atlanta February 1-15,
1917:
Therefore, .1, Asa G. Candler,
Mayor of Atlanta, Georgia, do
| hereby cordially invite the people
of all parts of America and the
~ citizens of our neighbor States
to come to Atlanta and take part
in the Southeastern lLand Show,
and, as Mayor of the city, prom
ise them a cordial reception dur
ing their stay In our midst.
“Even if no other stone is turned
between today and February 1, the
Southeastern Land Show will be a
wonderful success,” sald Frank T.
Reynolds Wednesday, following the
meeting Tuesday night of exhibitors
and show officlals.
“However,” he continued, “we do
not expect Atlanta people to quit
work in the show's behalf just he
cause success is in sight, for they,
above all, should be deeply ilnterest
ed In the exposition.”
Western trunk line raflroads Tues
day afternoon notifled the show offi
clals that they would grant the re
duced rate, in which they previously
had declined to join with Eastern
trunk lines.

(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—President
Wilson won the first two rounds today
in the battle waged against him by
the “silent sentinels” who are picket-
Ing the White House in an effort to
change his views on nation-wide suf
frage. He slipped out of the executlve{
mansion grounds in an automobile
before the pickets, in squads of four,
were on duty, and upon his return
flashed by the sentinels before t.heyl
recognized him. He did not ‘even
glance at the banners they bore,
which carried this device:
“Mr. President, what are you going
to do for woman suffrage?”
The squads of pickets, divided into
groups of four, took positions at each
entrance to the White House. They
were to be followed after three hours
on duty by another squad of twelve,
who in turn were to servs three hours.
The pickets were on duty with pos
itive Instructions from the leaders to
remain silent in their patrol work.
The first squad on duty consisted of
Mrs. B. H. Papandre, of Ban Fran
cisco; Misses Gertrude and Augusta
Crooker, of Chicago; Miss Vivian
Pierce and Miss Mildred Gilbert, of
California; Miss Bertha Croues, of
Colorado, all of whom are registered
voters. The remaining women, who
are nonvoters, were Misges Mary Fen
dell, of Baltimore; Elizabeth Smith
and Winifred Francis, of Washing
ton; Mrs. M. C. Bowell, of Philadel

Georgian-American Want Ad
In a certain Eastern town where there is no
daily newspaper to supply the means for advertising
for {elp, a man with a megaphone is sent about the
town calling the number of men wanted and the nams
of the empfoyer needing them.
In Atlanta, a Georgian-American Want Ad
is a megaphone which reaches the listening ears of
thousands upon thousands of responsive ple more
effectively than a man could reach firt;? I's the
modern method for making your wants known and
getting them filled promptly and properly.
No matter what it is—whether you want to
buy a horse or sell one, to rent an apartment or pur
chase a house to give or to get employment, to find a
capable dressmaker or rent a room, to buy a good used
automobile, a piano or office and store fixtures, to’ in
vest money in a reliable business opportunity or to
find a partner—you can reach the ears of the right peo
ple through The Georgian-American.
If you have a want to be supplied now, take
advantage of the b_ilg opportunity which the great Sun
day circulation of The X.?nerican offers you, and put
your want where it will reach practically every worth
while person in Atlanta.
Leave your ad with the main office, 20 East
