CHINESE TROOPS
SENT TO CH|ENTAE?

TOXIC. Aug. 2.-After a long consider
alton of the differences existing between
China and Japan as to the status of the
former nation in Manchuria, Foreign Min
lister Komura submitted the entire mat
ter to the emperor this morning. This
move had been expected before the end
Of July. Advices to the Hechi, received
today, as to the effect that China lie
sending a large body Of troops secretly
into Chientae, but the report is not cred
tied here.
The japanese newspapers have followed
the foreign policy in China with keen
interest and some OF them recently struck
an alarmist note. II was expected, said
the Kokumin, the mouthpiece OF Marquis
Katsura, that the withdrawal OF the pro-
posal to refer to the Hague arbitration
tribunal the differences between the two
countries proceeded the adoption OF which
was hoped would be conciliatory pol
icy by China. The latter, however pro-
poses terms considered by the japanese
government as wholly unacceptable ana
refused to comply with Japan's request
for recommendation.

ARREST OF BRIDEGROOM
BREAKS UP HONEYMOON

The wedding trip OF D. A. Blue, who
was married after a very romantic and
short courtship in Atlanta Friday night,
was prevented Saturday night when he
was arrested by local police officers for
throwing an empty bottle from Il window
in the New Kimball house to the street
below. In falling the bottle struck a
bystander at the corner Of Wall and
North Pryor streets, and 1t was upon
his complaint that Blue was taken in
custody.
Mr.. Blue had hardly been married "a
hours at the time of his arrest. Friends
state that he was out making plans for
the departure Of himself and wife for
parts in the west when he was arrest
ed Saturday evening. After being taken
to the police barracks ne was released
upon a cash collateral of $25.75.
The marriage of d. A. Blue came
about in a rather unusual manner. He
had met the woman he married on one
occasion, being related to her first hus-
band, and was very much impressed
with her. Lately he noticed her photo
graph In an Atlanta paper and at once
fell desperately in love with her. A few
days after noticing her photograph he
decided that he would come to Atlanta
and endeavor to win her and have the
date set So sure was he that he would
win his intended that he purchased
license before he saw her and within
an hour after meeting her at the train
Friday afternoon they were man and
wife.

MEXICO rs SHAKEN
BY SECOND QUAKE

MEXICO CITY, July 31.-Mexico City
was again severely bumped by an earth
quake today A shock more severe
than any yet experienced, rocked the
city for one minute and forty seconds.
The first faint swaying came at 12:4S.
but the nervous people needed nothing
more than the slightest trembling to
send them pouring out of stores, office
buildings and dwellings to the streets.
The shocks grew In intensity at the
end of the first 80 seconds and suddenly
shifted the direction Of its motion. 1t
began with a long swaying north to
south oscillatory motion which changed
to a humping trepidatory action. No
great damage was done. though many
walls weakened by the three shocks OF
yesterday morning. while innumerable
public buildings were cracked.
The national palace suffered consid-
erably. The war office. chamber OF am
bassadors. and other sections OF the
handsome buildings were cracked. The
Mutual Life Insurance company build
ing, the StilIwell building and the Ca
thedral were among the other large
edifices, whose walls suffered openings.
In the case Of the first two. the damage
was of a minor character.
The reports received here this morn
ing from Governor banana Ia rIoreSs
of the state Of Guerrero. declared that
in Acapulco. the largest and strongest
buildings were RACED to the ground by
the force Of the tremors yesterday and
that there has been property loss in that
section.
At Acapulco. the custom house with
its warehouse. the military barracks
and a number Of other prominent build
ings were absolutely destroyed while
the Municvipal palace suffered serious
damage. Thirteen earthquakes within
80 hours have been registered by the
government seismograph at the Acu-
baya.
From the time the earth began to
heave in the valley yesterday morning
at TIA o'clock until the quivers ceased
at 12:45 o'clock today. Mexico City has
been shaking at intervals Of every two
or three hours. Six upheavals have
been of such strength as to be felt by
the people, while the other seven have
been felt only by the sensitive instru-
ments at the seismograph station. ,,

to consider only the evidence submitted
by the governor. The functions Of the
governor in the premises were purely in
itiative, and the legislature could take
into consideration any additional evidence
that came before It.
REFERRED TO BOND DEAL.
Senator Perry referred to Mr.. McLen-
don's bond deal:
Great God! have we gone back to the
days of Babcock and Glenn, when bonds
can be made to go UP and down at Will?
eff you put on the record that one sem
ator voted on this issue and another sem
ator on another issue, 1t would be a quasi
recognition that we had no right to decide
the question"
Senator Perry referred to the words of
Senator Griffin about night meetings
among those opposed to McLendon. He
said he had never been called into any
such conferences; he knew nothing OF
them. He thought the action of the SEN
ate had been spontaneous. The rights Of
the people were at stake.

INCOME TAX IS
TURNED DOWN
BY Vote of Fifty-Five to Seventy
Eight, House Refuses to Levy on
Annual Incomes of More Than
$4,000.

Mr.. Lewis of Hancock offered to
amend the general tax act by incorpor-
ating therein a new section levying
an income tax on all persons having
an annual income of more than 5000.
at a rate of one tenth of one per cent.
Mr.. Lewis was given three minutes to
explain why he believed his PROPOSE
ton was constitutional.
Mr.. Anderson Of Chatham declared
that IT was unconstitutional and that
he had a bill pending at this very time
to change the constitution so as TO
make income taxation possible.
Mr.. Hall of Bibb was opposed 20
the measure because in the case Of a
man who made more than $1,000 by the
practice Of his profession or trade, 1t
would be a direcS tax on labor.
The amendment was lost by vote
of SIS to IS.
