on March 16 has been received in Allan
ia. He succumbed to pneumonia

and by him sent to friends here.
Outside of his distinguished position
as a missionary and educator. DIR. An
derson's death will bring a shock to
many friends in Atlanta, as well as
relatives here by blood and marriage.
His wife, who survives him, is a first
cousin of Col. w. L. Thomson, and his
sister was the first wife of w. A. Hemp

of Trinity church, in Atlanta, where he
retained his membership until his

would bring the distance even closer to
the Jonesboro route mileage.
The other alternative route is straight
road down the Southern all the way to
Fort Valley, but this would cut out Griffin
and GAINESVILLE.
Scores of incidents all the way this
morning showed the interest that the
highway work has excited in this sec
ton. Time and again the car was hail
ed and cheered by farmers. At Fayette-

sion. and stopped to shake hands with
hundreds OF farmers and friends from

Don't Think Limantour

NEW YORK, March 20,-Gustavo Ma
deros belief that Senior Limantour will
succeed Porfirio Diaz as provisional
president" of Mexico until another cleo
ton can be held, was not accepted at its
face value today by others who were in
conference with Senior I.imantour while
he was in this city. The words of Liman-
tour himself, spoken last night at San
Luis. that he intends to cooperate with
General Disz'' are quoted against any
change so radical
Francisco Madero's understanding is
that although Senior Limantour is to be
entrusted with the program of reform, he
will work by persuasion rather than by
direct command.
At the offices of the Inter-Continental
RUBBER company here today it was denied
that he company had entered into any
deal with the Maderos to build rubber
plantations in Mexico.
1T is sufficient to say" ran the state
ment, that the present status Of the
Maderos in Mexico is too uncertain for
us to treat with them"

From The Journal Office on Forsyth
street the scout party proceeded down
Forsyth street to its intersection with
Whitehall, along Whitehall to the COLLEGE
Park road and thence TO College Park
The progress from that point will neces-
sarily be moderate on account of the fact
that they will be forced to make frequent
stops to accept the congratulations and
good wishes of enthusiastic citizens and
city officials along the route.
During the morning the party planned

The scouts started on their momentous

Expected That Week viii
Clear Mexican Puzzle

SAN ANTONIO, March 20.-%Ofhcers
and men alike at the maneuvers camp
were eager for the news from Wash
ington and Mexico today, seeking for
some straw to show the drift of af-
fairs.
1t is generally conceded that what
ever Minister Limantour's mission, 1t
has a vital bearing on the destinies of
the troops here. The week beginning
today is expected to clear the situation
considerably.
Students of the Mexican situation de-
clare that mere changes in the cabi-
net of President Diaz. or even the
resignation of the president himelf,
should he attempt to appoint a sue
cessor, can scarcely be established sat
isfactory to the revolutionary. Led by
Francisco L Madero, they have insisted
first and last that there must be a
free election for the president and To-
ca self-government.
