NO FURTHER TROUBLE AN
TICIPATED BY CITY AND
STATE AUTHORITIES.
POLICE GUARD
FOR GOV. SLATON
Persons Arrested For Rioting Re
ceive Light Fines in
Police Court
Atlanta, Juno 22.-State troops con
tinued tonight to guard the suburban
home of (iovi rnor Slutton, but all is
quiet botli here and in Atl.mtu after
the demonstrations yesterday and last
night in protest ngainst the governor's
action in commuting the death sen
tence of Leo M. Prank. Both state
and city officials said they anticipated
no further trouble, but ns a precau
tionary measure additional militiamen
are held under arms at the armory
here and extra policemen are avail
able.
Governor Slaton spent several hours
at-his office in tho capitol today. Po
licemen accompanied him to and from
bis home In an automobile. There was
no demonstration.
The governor tonight did not knovy
when the guard would be removed
from his country estate. "The crowd
which visited my home last night was
nut composed of the best people of
Atlanta," said the governor today. "I
received hundreds of telegrams from
persons in Georgia and throughout
the country congratulating me on my
action in the Prank case."
Thirty-four -persons- who were ar
rested in connection with the demon
strations were given hearings in police
court today. Nominal fines were -Im
posed in eleven of the cases, olgiii
were dismissed and the other contin
ued.
Atlanta, June 22.-While two bat
talions of state military and troop of
the governor's horse guards ar?
still on guard at Governor Slaton's
co: utry estate, quiet prevailed both
tbbrc and in Atallnta this morning and
there was no indication ot a repeti
tion of exciting [scenes of yesterday
and last night, which followed the
announcement of the commutation
of Leo M. Prank's death sentence.
In the city, beer saloons, were al
lowed to reopen this morning. No
crowds wero on the streets. At the
governor's horns it is stated the mili
tia will probably be withdrawn .to
night.
Troops were called to the govern
or's country home last night when a
crowd of several hundred men and
boys marched there and made a de
monstration against the governor's
action in tho Prank case.
Turee militiamen were slightly
hurt by bottles and bricks thrown.
Tho crowd dispeled about midnight.
No shots were fired.
Horsey Denounce*. Biston.
Atlanta, June 22.-Averring that
ho considered Governor John M. Hin
ton disqualified to pass upon the
Leo M. Prank.case, Solicitor Hugh M.
Dorsey, who prosecuted tho prisoner,
Monday afternoon issued a ntatement
to The Constitution denouncing tho
hr stowe! of clemency and explaining
why ho had gone before the govern
or to oppose the Frank plea for
commutation.
"I did not appear before tho par
don board," ns said, "because I reit
confident that, with Ute evidence and
the fcourt records before them, there
would b0 no Interference with the
col urta of justice. When their deci
sion refusing to recommend commu
tation was transmitted. I felt it to be
my duty to plead for the enforcer'
ment of tho.law by tho chief execu
tive because 1 knew the force of
the influence at work .to upset the,
judgments ' of the courts and of tho
pardon board." ;
Dorsey also charges that no de
fendant within his recollection
had the benefits ot more appeals to
the judlcal processes, state and fed
eral, than Prank. Prank's guilt, the
solicitor says, waa conclusively estab
lished beyond a reasonable doubt to
toe satisfac?an of ap impartial jury
of twelve re.-ntable 'Georgians- - and
their verdict was approved by- the
tria- joJgo and affirmed by the su
preme court of Georgia.

Washington. June 22;-Denials of
friction. In the Carranza ranks and of
dlassation among the Villa leaders
were represented today by Mexican
agencies here. The belief still pro
vaild in official quarters, however, that
the trouble between Carranza and
Obregon has not healed and that Gen
eral Felipe Angeles' departure from
Villa's camp at this time waa an Im
portant military, if not political lose.
Advices say General Pablo Gonzales
the Carranza commander marching
against Mexico City, who was ordered
to halt until Carranza reorganized the
cabinet, hts gone ahead and ls now
reported within a few miles of the cap
ital.
President Wilson indicated to call
ers todtay that the Mexican situation
did not scorn any clearer than it had
been and that he was not optimistic
as he was a week ago about the pos
sibilities of an agreement between
the factions. The United States has
made it clear, lt will give every op

In Its recently announced policy ,
Americans Asked to Leave.
Washington, June 22.-Admiral
Howard sent by wireless to the navr
department late today a statement
presented) to him by the Mexican mili
tary commandment at Guaymas, sug
gesting that all Americans leave Yaqui
valley, but promising to protect theo
if they remained. The commandant
said he would give the Americans an
escort if they departed. Ha added ,
that the lading of United States ma
rines would be likely to "cause Ameri
cans trouble all along the coast."
Mayor Indiana on Warpath.
Nogales, Arizona, Juna 22.--The
Mayor Indians, who have followed the
example of the Yaqui' In Sonora Mex-*
leo, sacked Los Mochis, SInaloa yes
terday, according to J. ?. Taylor,
manager of a sugar company itt that
section, who telegraphed the State de
partment at Washington today asking
for protection.
Washington, June 22.-Condi
tions In the Yaqui valley, where the
United States ls faced with the pos
sibility of landing forces to protect
settlers Against raiding Indians ar?
described as desperate in today's
state department advices.
A settler who left the valley on the
last train and arrived at NogaiM
yesterday said half the valley baa
been devastated without protest from
Villa's troops, who were toe' only
soldiers In that region. ? One ranch,
presuma' !.. American owned, has
been surrounded four days by 500
mounted Indiana and 300. on foot.
The settlers wore prepared to de
fend themselvesc against attacks until
American marines arrived. He be
lieved May lorena's Mexican forces
will be unable to check thc Indiana.
Officials iKre believe settlers left
the valley before any of the addi
tional troops ordered to the Yaqui
region by Maytorena had osee dis
patched. 'Recent advices from Ante ri -
lean officials and others near fae
valleq, lt ls said, have not reporter?
avy ne wattack on foreigners.
Confirmation is lacking ot re
ports that. Oenerel Gonzales has be
gun the occupation - of Mexico City
with Carranza forces,, bbl a message
from Consul Stillman at Vera Cruz,
said communication with Mexico City
has - been cut, presumably by Zapata
raiders, and thought this might mean
the Zapatistas have withdrawn from
the capital and are operating be

Crus.
