H THINGS LOOK BAD BCKKTA PROTKSTS THAT ARMISTICK IS HK1NG BROKEN. ? BY AMERICAN SOLDIERS ? NfWM From Mexico Friday Looks Had -?Mexicans Hare Large Force Asfiembled Near Vera Cruz?Utmost Secrecy Being Maintained at Washington Concerning Two Dispatches. Fresh complications have arisen between the United States and Mexico in their relations during the armistice which is to be observed during the nogotiatons of tho mediators. Huerta Friday made complaint to the South American representatives that the United States forces in and around Vera Cruz were breaking tho armistice by landing fresh troops frem the warships and making other warlike preparations. The communication of tho Mexican government was sent to the mediators by Esteva Ruiz, the acting foreign minister in Huerta's cabinet. The envoys from the South American states, upon receipt of the complaint, Stated that representations would bo made to President Wilson. The foreign officer thanked the mediators for their good offices telling them that the Mexican govern<Cq opninp! eqi jo avoja hi }uoiu them in the case of Carranza's refusal to an armistice and tho new landing of troops by the Americans was the cause of much good will towards them, and thanked them for the prudence exercised by them. Secretary Bryan later in the day Friday admitted that tho mediators bad made representations to this government in behalf of the complaint of the Huerta government. The secretary of stato declared a formal repp would be made to the charge of vio latlng the armistice at Vera Cruz The text of the complaint made an emphatic protest against the sending of nil V .TrlAPft t./wxr.n T r ? - ?T# ?""1 \J 1,1 LU V Wi n t/I'UZ, claiming that it is a breach of the rtxuce. The Mexican president vaguely Indicated that the landing of any more men would cause him to declare the armistice at an end. This would certainly reopen the hostilities around Vera Cruz. Huerta also de- 1 m&nded that the warfare of the Con- 1 atitutionalists he stopped, charging #ULt they are receiving aid from the United States. X dispatch from Vera Cruz Friday tald of alarming conditions there. The Mexican army opposing Gen. Kunston has increased to twenty thousand men in the last twenty-four ' botrrs, and a base has been established at the town of Jalapa, forty ^jnlles west of the American position. It is clearly evident that the Huertlan troops intend to make this a base for their action against the Americans. At Vera Cruz the Americans have begun to observe strict rules of warfare. No Mexican is allowed to approach the American outposts. Photographers are barred from the camp, and every precaution is being taken against an unexpected attack. It is reported that eight thousand cotton mill workers at Rio Planco have ?track against their Spanish employer* and have joined the army of Hnerta, under the command of Navarette. It is estimated by those in a fjocition to know that the Mexicans Inuto n fnrva rvf Inroluo Hinnonn/I mnr, rww* -V ?w ? vvy W *. VTT Vt T V VliVUQUUVl lliUll within thirty miles of Vera Cruz. At Washington the utmost secrecy that haa yet marked the Mexican affairs at Vera Cruz. The mediation qfueetion was sldetrackod while the president and his advisers gave their Attention to the situation at Vera -Cruz. Following a dispatch from Qen. Funston Secretary of War Garrison called a hasty council of war ?arly in the morning. The naval department was also in receipt of a telegram from Admral Badger, but the contents of neither message can be Seamed. It was unofficially learned, how fi?r, that two German ships are tending off Vera Cruz Cruz, loaded with munitions of war for Huerta. It in also beleved that a crisis is impending in Mexico City, and that in the event of disorder the American troops will be ordered to the capital. ? ? ? PRAISED BY PRESS. Vera .Onaz .Newspapers .Commend American Administration. Newspapers in Vera Cruz Friday published prominently commendations of the American administration In that city. There is great commercial activitv evervwhAm An/1 tMa la a subject of much gratlfic&ton to the kUvefl. The work of re-organization Is going steadily forward. The quiet condition in Mexico City is restoring confidence and many Americans having interests in the napltal are making short trips there to dean up their affairs. There is mow no Interruption to train service. The military situation is unchanged mad the troops are making themselves mam for table tn the quarters they expact to occupy for some time. ' g? V9h( KILLING AT HOLLY HILL B. S. BANNISTER FATAL,! V SHOl BY W. II. BRELAND. . The Latter Had Been Drinking and Had Lost His Mind Temporarily? jk His Wife Appealed for Protection, Mr. E. S. Bannistor was seriously shot at Hilly Hill Monday nigfft by W. H. Breland, who has noly been home about forty-five days. Previously ho had been to prison in wrangemirg and Columbia, and since bis return had been conducting himself in a gentlemanly manner. Yesterday he began to drink and seemingly lost all reason. Having threatened and mistreated his wife, she appealed to some citizens for protection, although begging none of them to go near him, as he was dangerous. Mr. E. S. Bannister with Messrs. John Simmons, L. R. Rhaine, and Marshal Tillery went to the B.reland house to try and quiet the man. As they approached ho called out from behind some vines for them to halt. Mr. Bannister shouted that he wanted to talk to him and was his friend. The answer to this was a shot from a pistol, which took effect in the right side just above the nipple. Breland called out, "I've got you," and then turned the weapon 011 Mr. Simmons and fired. The ball pierced his coat, but did not touch his bod?. Tho others in the party assisted in getting Mr. Bannister away to his home, where medical attention was given him. Magistrate Wiggins was notified, and Sheriff Salley also. With several others Magistrate Wiggins surrounded the house and waited for daylight, when Breland was caught off his guard and overpowered by the magistrate and Constable Grooms. With the assistance of others he was handcuffed and locked. Ho was taken to Orangeburg 011 the same train that carried Mr. Bannister to Charleston for hispital treatment. Bannister ciien in unarieston Wednesday morning. Br eland was brought to Orangeburg and lodged in fall by Sheriff Salley Tuesday, and does not seem to be worried about the predicament he is in. He claims that he shot in self-defense and had a right to do so. He appears, according to the authorities, to be mentally unbalanced and not capable of realizing the seriousness of his crime. He only recently was brought from the asylum, and it is understood that at the time the asylum authorities advised against his being taken away, but at the insistance of his relatives allowed him to go. WHITE HOUSE WEDDING. ? President's Youngest Daughter Becomes Bride. Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, youngest daughter of the president, and William Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, were married at the White House Thursday by the Rev Doctor Sylvester Beach, of Princeton, N. J. The guests were limited to the Vice-President and Mrs. Marshall, the cabinet and the immediate relatives of the bride and bridegroom. The ceremony was a contrast to the elaborate affairs of the two previous White House brides, Mrs. Nicholas Lougworth and Mrs. Francis Bowes Syre. The bride was charming in her white satin gown. She was attended by her elder sister, Miss Marcaret Wilson, as maid of honor. Mrs. Syre was matron of honor, while the bridesmaids were Miss Nona McAdoo, daughter of the bridegroom; Miss Marjorie Brown, Miss Wilson's cousin, and Miss Ruth Hall, her chum. Eleven-year-old Sallie McAdoo was dower girl. After the ceremony there was a jovial reception and breakfast, where "Noll" and "Will" were heartily congratulated. In spite of the small list of invited guests the wedding presents wore numorous. Prominent among them was the beautiful piece of jewelry given by the members of the House of Representatives. From the Diplomatic corps, no member of which was Invited, came flawers and good wishes Mrs. McAdoo Is the fourteenth White House bride and one of the youngest. She is twenty-four years old. Her husband is fifty. i ? MAKES WAK PLANS. Washington is Preparing for Every Mexican Emergency. A dispatch from Washington Friday announces that plans havo been made by the war department to throw an expeditionary force of American troons nornnn tv?o r?nr*Vinr? border within ten houra if the emergency becomes necessary. There Is much speculation as to Just what course will be pursued by these in authority in Mexico and the administration ia preparing for all emergencies. Major Gen. Franklin Bell will be ?in temporary command of this expeditionary force, which will consist of nine regiments. Reports from Mexico are disquieting, but what else do you expect? IK) NOT KILL. MAO DOGS. ? Atlanta City Dacteri oil gist Gives Advice Concerning llabes. The following form the Atlanta Constitution is very timely: Almost as soon as summer's hot I breath routs Jack Frost from the earth, "mad dog!" is the exclamation that rises above the din of tra, fic on the crowded city pavements and drowns out the cooing of birds in country lanes. About this time of the year Fido, Trixie and old dog Tray are in peril. If they escape ' policeman's Colt the prospects are 1 that they will journey to the dogs' 1 happy hunting grounds via the poisoned sausage Hung over the back fence. I Yes, these are tho days when they ( call " dog days." At almost any time of the day you can see the ex- , cited crowds gathered on street cor- j iiers, tho copper with menacing pistol and the cowering canine in the corner being made tho target of a j very bad example of marksmanship. < Dr. Claude Smith, city bacteriolo- ( gist, in Atlanta made some interest- l ing announcements to make in re | gard to the methods that should be < followed after a person has been bit- ( ten by a dog supposed to bo suffering from rabbies. "It is important to make most em- 1 phatic the precaution not to kill the ' dog," says Dr. Smith. t "No matter how hard it may be to ( catch him, or how hard dangerous it v seem, it is better that some trouble f be gone to in locking up the animal than that the patient should go through the agonies of uncertainty c which can never be definitely settled j except by tho lapse of time. "If the dog is held it can soon be j learned whether it. is suffering from Q rabies, and if such bo the case the , discovery is never made too late for j the proper treatment of tho patient, j, As it is, a great deal of unnecessary trouble is caused by persons who rush off ,to a doctor, only waiting to see that tho dog is killed." g Dr. Smith says there are three g things which are prevalent in the ft popular opinion in regard to mad c dogs. ii The first is that dogs go mad only fi during the hottest months of the year if ?dog days. r "Much has been done to set the h public right on this point and many are informed of this phase of the matter," Dr. Smith says, "but some still persist in hanging to the ti idea. 0 "Another popular misconception is ^ that the mad dog must always rave q and foam at the mouth. Until he ^ does, most people will reftise to believe that he is mad. In this they p are wrong. ,p "Many dogs in tho first stages of ,s< hydrophobia are more affected than 1 ordinarily. Instead of tearing around s< the house, snapping at everything in r< sight and foaming at the mouth, they p insist on being near some person. ii "The most erroneous conclusion of t( all is that the dog must be killed at n once as soon as it is thought that he is mad. If posible, the dog that is tl suspected of being mad after biting a ri person should always be locked up and kept for a few days. This will ft give the disease, if there is any, time o to develop. Search for the disease is a usually made in the brain of the ani- ti mal, and it must bo given time to h make its traces there before and defi- w nite decision can be reached in the n nrnttor Tf Hiia 4o ,1 ~ " ?!" 1 - 1? < xi. iiuo la uwnr, 11 Will LHKe 1] only a few days to find out whether g the dog has had the rabies, and if it g did, plenty of time is left for the tl treatment of the patients." c In order that the public may un- a derstand fully the precautions neces- P sary, the city and state health boards t the Grady Hospital and Pasteur In- k stitute stand ready to assist. Hun- G dreds of cases are treated annually b at the Pasteur Institute, and all that s is asked Is that the patients take the , precautions which every physician will agree is necessary. # # r CHANGES OPINION. +. ? Carranza Sends Not? to the United SUites Government. j Secretary Bryan Saturday made c public a long formal communication C from Raphael Zubran, minister of i foreign affairs in the Carranza cabi- c net, n behalf of General Carranza, s declaring the friendly attitude of the r constitutionalists towards the United f States. The document reversed the t position announced by Carranza, im- 6 mediately after the occupation of t Vera Cruz, that ho resented the occupation. Ho regards tho American move- t ments now as directed against Huer- t ta and not against the Mexican peo- j pie who, he say,, are on friendly j terms with tho United States. Tho j (document was significant as being the j jfirst official communication announc- ( ;ed by the state department as having , :been received direct from any official j | off the Carranza government. Hlthjerto Carranza has addressed his com- j jmunication to the American governjinent through tho American consuls | in Mexico. , i t > Federal (Junboat Ashore. , A Mexican Federal gunboat went i ashore Wednesday at South Onaymas, ! and was severely Injured by the Con- < .fltJtuUonallBt bombardrnent which fol- < lowed. i NOTES AND COMMENTS. Current News of Interest Briefly Chronicled. If we can go by the convention returns, it looks as if the governor will be returned to private life. We do not see how any man In the State can kick if the Democratic State convention safeguards the primary from repetions and frauds, although not limiting the suffrage from any white man. No one can fight against a fair election and an honest count. What some neonlo mil mnfon*. ment is nothing but indifference or laziness. They have not ambition enough to rise from their present condition. It is only by a healthy discontent that progress is made, whether in individual, social or political life. Every man makes mistakes. The great thing for him to do is not to ?pend his time in endless fretting >ver a mistake and thereby lose leart, but to get up again on his 'eet and press forward having learned wisdom from the sad experiences )f the past. After all the hurly-burly of a few veeks ago in England over tho everasting Ulster question, matters seem o have quieted down to such an exent that it now seems as if the crisis vas passed. Probably the Unionists ire now preparing to accept tho inevitable, and they might just as well. . Let every nan do his best in whatoover catling ho may be engaged. To is the man that makes himself inlispensable, even in tho midst of lard times. It Is the man who is ontcnt to be Just an "average", that 3 let out as soon as work gets slack, inybodv can get work when business 3 booming, but business doesn't al/ays boom. The man who keeps the weeds from rowing in his garden, that keeps the rass mown on his lawn, and who eeps his premises generally in good ' ondition, may find the work exactag at times, but he gets lots of satis action out of it. He knows that it i good for his health, for his selfespect and for the appearance of his ' omo town. ? ? Goethals Against Free Tolls. Altliough the discussion of free alls lias been lost in popular interest ver the Mexican situation, it might e interesting to note the position of ol. Geo7 ge W. Goethals, who built he Panama canal. Col. Goethals oes not claim to he an expert interreter of treaties. He bases his oposition on two sound economic reaons. First, says he, "free tolls to vessls engaged in the coastwise trade asult in a subsidy to a class of shiping already fully protected and not n need of subsidy." These free )lls would "benefit stockholders and ot shippers". Second, "this canal will need all lie revenue it can get to pay its cursnt expenses and indebtedness." Col. Goethals' testimony, says the few York World, "is the testimony f sound common sense, aside from ny consideration of treaty obligaions. If the Hay-Pa ancefote treaty ad. never existed the part of wisdom 'ould he to do what he advises and lake the canal as near self-sustainig as possible. This is a generouj overnment, but it can not afford to ive away everything. As Col. Goehals says, 'established steamship ompanies fix rates after conference, nd, as they are in the business for rofit, will demand the highest rates be traffic will bear.' Everybody 1L1- A _ 1- - nuw? mis t;o do a tact. The ioethals statement ia a smashing low to the whole campaign of subudy grabbing." ? ? APPEARS FOR FRANK. tarns Denounces Attack Upon Him at Marietta. At Atlanta, Ga., Detective Wlllam J. Burns and Assistant Dan .ehon, Friday afternoon appeared In ourt and be examined by Solicitor , leneral Dorsoy in an investigation nto their relations with the Frank ase in the efforts of the defense to ecure a new trial for the condemned nan. The motion of the attorney or Frank, requesting an appeal to he Supreme Court of the United Itates on constitutional grounds will >e heard early next week. Detective Burns roundly denounc(d the attack made upon him Thuraiay at Marietta, when a mob sur ounded his hotel and forced him to cave town because of their threats, n an automobile. The people of Marietta were Incensed that the detective should come to the home ;own of Mary Phagan in an efTort to secure testimony damaging to her. Frank denounced the attack as an outrage upon him, and declared that tie had done nothing to deserve such treatment. ? Oarranza Completely Eliminated. A dispatch from Washington says that the three South American mediators announced Wednesday through Secretary Bryan that they had decided to eliminate Carranza from their conference all togethor and would now continue without him.
