CARRANZA S AFFRONT Carranza's remarkable attitude in demanding that for eign nations deal directly with him and not through the United States amounts to an invitation for intervention. It is difficult to judge of Carranza's responsibility and mental action, because we know little of his nature and can calculate only faintly upon his ability to calculate the effect of his present stand, but if he does not alter his present position it will mean but one thing: that he pre fers to precipitate foreign interference rather than to continue with the struggle against Huerta. On the other hand, Carranza may be merely acting under the influence of Villa who dreads to show the body of Benton and has sought Carranza's protection in get ting him to take this stand. Delay is of value to Villa. The greater the length of time which ensues before Benton’s body is examined, the better are the chances for failing to discover the cause of his death. If this is the true situa tion Carranza will retract after so long a time, but he is playing a desperate game and there can be no doubt that his defiant attitude toward this government will cause him many regrets. Intervention looks nearer than it has ever looked be cause Carranza's affront to this government is the first good excuse for considering such a troublesome and ex pensive course. Nothing can be lost by taking time, how ever, and a great deal can be gained. Thorc is work ahead in Washington, which, were it to suffer the interruption and confusion of war,, would set the country back in progress for several decades. The job of going into Mexico and putting Its house in order is at this time excessively inconvenient. It would be far more satisfactory in every way to let the natives fight it out between them, but when exigencies occur such as Car ranza has brought about, our national pride is touched and the obligations which our Monroe doctrine place upon us make themselves felt. To pretend to any indignation or resentment in the situation would be beneath our dignity as a nation. It would be like flying into a rage with a little child; but one is often forced to discipline a child, even while amused at their folly and indiscretion—so it may be with Uncle Sam and Mexico, but no good can come of haste and we are devoutly thankful that cool and level heads control things in Washington.

C.—With thirty-five Items vetoed, the appropriation bill was Thursday received by the house I from the office of Governor Bleaae and the session was apent In consid ering the passage of theae over tnu veto of the chief executive. The net result of these labors was that the governor was sustained in four vetoes and overrid len In two. None of the Items la of much im portance, few being above $5,000. The message accompanying the bill exhorted the member* to stand by the governor in his expressed disapprov al. Political consequences of failure to uphold his vetoes were frankly re ferred to. Promises of economy made oft the stump which Governor Blease said practically every candi date had made, should be kept to the people and there wa* no better way of doing this, said the governor, than by upholding his stands on the vetoes. The house passed over the veto of the governor the items providing *I,OOO for repairing the heating plant of the atate house and *3,000 for the state hoard of medical examiners. The veto was sustained on the follow ing: For hooka and blanks for the comptroller general’s office, *4,000; for a new edition of the state hank book. *2,500; for installing meters and making repairs In public buill ings, *3.000, and the Item requiring the state librarian to make monthly reports to the atate treasurer as the other state officers.

Arson Charge Against Negro Girl; Penalty For Crime is Death Atlanta, C».—The punishment for arson In tieorgla is death, and the law may put a negro girl of Atlanta, Annie May Hayes, In the shadow of the gallows. The girt who was a ser vant In the home of Comptroller Hen oral W. A. Wright has confessed to the police that she deliberately set fire to the Wright home Trom motives of auger and revenge, after she had been reprimanded for not doing her housework as she should. I According to the girl’s story she deliberately threw a lighted match into the upstairs closet of the home, after seeing Mrs Wright leave the house. The blase ignited clothing and the fire spread. Only the timely arrival of the fire department savel the house, and aa it was the damage amounted to over >I,OOO. The girt re mained inside the house, instead of running out, when the blase began to spread, and her strange attitude aiTuised the suspicion of the firemen who tiirnol her over to the police. This is the first case In many years in which a woman has been accused of arson. Although the death penalty might be exacted under the law. there is scarcely any likelihood that the case will actually take such course. There hasn't been a woman hanged In Georgia since the civ 1: war, and be sides. the fact that the girl is only 15 years old is inducing the probation leers to take a hand.
