Intervention
Appears Imminent.

From the early reports received by
the state department today, Tn1erven+
ton would appear to be imminent. At
the war department it was stated that
Madero is weakening, and Ambassador
Wilson has reported that the national
palace is said to have been partly de-
strOyed Bands of guerrillas are in
Testing the streets and making 1t dan
gerous for Americans to be at large.
Independent bands of rIrales have
been stationed in different parts of tho
city, and apparently most Of them do
not know upon which side they are
lined. Four hundred guards who were
stationed yesterday in front of the Ger
man legation were unable to inform tho
German minister which side they were
supporting. The officers stated that
their commander was holding an inter-
view with Diaz. General Banquet was
reported to have left Toluca, going
north on the national railway to Con
zales with the apparent intention of
making rear attack upon the revolu-
tionists.
The American club was completely
demolished, as was the Protestant Mis-
slonary church. The report that four
Americans were killed can not be veri-
fed. From the roof Of the American
embassy, the national palace appears 10
be enveIoped in smoke, and Ambassa-
dor Wilson's dispatches state that all
reports indicate great damage has been
done to the palace a petition by
Americans to Diaz demanding protec-
ton received a vague reply. The revo-
lutionists say that they need not fear
his firing as long as his forces are not
attacking the American colony

HURT, TOLL Of
ELEVATORS
Strange Series of Accidents
Takes Lives of Two, and
Another May Lose Arm.

Two men today are dead and a third

injuries received while attempting to
board an ascending elevator earlier in
the day in the basement Of the Males
tic hotel.
Lee Brock a 19-year-old prisoner in
the Tower, was instantly killed late

An hour following the fatal injuring
of Hayes, J. p, Tyner, an employee of
the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills, was
taken to the Grady hospital from the
mills with his left arm crushed, the re-
suit of an elevator accident. His in
jury Is not considered fatal, although
his arm will probably have to be am
putated
Hayes was at work in the Majestic
hotel, and had started from the base
ment to an upper floor when injured.
Before he could clear the gate of the
elevator, his head was caught between
the car and the top of the gate and
crushed Both jaws We're broken, and
his skull was fractured at the base Of
the brain. Although conscious, he was
never able to speak because Of his
broken jaws
Death Held Unavoidable.
Young Brock was killed on the fourth
door Of the Tower. He is said to have
tried to board the elevator as it de-
seconded, his body being caught be-
tween the car and the gate grating.
Coroner Donehoo held an inquest today
in Harry c. Pooles undertaking es-
Enlistment, the jury finding that
Brooks death was an unavoidable ac-
cident.
Brock was a stranger in Atlanta, and
was serving a three months sentence
for larceny, His home is said to be in
Pennsylvania.
No inquest will be held in the case of
Hayes, as there were eyewitnesses.

SUFFRAGET CHIEF
DESERTS ENGLAND

London. Aug. 1S.-Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, the militant suffraget lead
er, left England for France last night,
Southampton and Havre. She had
and mouse act" for some time, and it
was reported hat the police at chan
mel ports recently received orders not
to arrest her If she left England.
Mrs. Pankhurst was sentenced to a
term of three years penal servitude on
a charge of conspiracy at the London
sessions on April 8 this year. In a
speech in the court she declared she
would fight to the end, and since her
condemnation she has compelled the
authorities to release her on a number
of occasions, owing to fear that she
would die from the effects Of her
hunger and thirst strike"
Miss Christabel Pankhurst, daughter
of Mrs. Pankhurst and chief organizer
OF the militant suffraget organization,
has been living in Paris for some
months. She directs from there the
campaign of the militant women in
England.
Mrs. Pankhurst has gone away for
what her friends call a rest cure"
which they say will probably be eX-
tended to The United States.
Miss Annie Kenney, another mill
tant, preceded Mrs. Pankhurst to the
continent, and it is expected that Miss
Sylvia Pankhurst will follow as soon
as she has sufficiently recovered from
her latest hunger and thirst strike"
The police authorities will not at
tempt to bar the egress of the militant
leaders and would, in fact, be only too
delighted to assist them to emigrate.

is involved in the death of John Nc
Alpine, Duluth millionaire lumberman,
who body was found in the basement
Of his HON here yesterday with a bull
let in the head.
Chief of Police Troyer leans strongly
to the theory of murder, as does a pri-
waite detective, while the family de-
clares that Mr.. McAlpine was acct
dentally shot when he fell over a pipe
with an automatic pistol in hand, and
if not that, that a burglar did the kill
ing. A basement window. open enough
to permit a human body to squeeze
through, lends strength to the latter
supposition. An inquest will be held
late today.
Mr.. McAlpine arrived home about
midnight. Others in the house at the
time were Mrs. McAlpine, Mr.. and Mrs.
Dale McAlpine and a maid. John Nc
Alpine was seated at a table about 1

Chicago, Aug. 1s.-You may peep I'M
til your eyes are dizzy but you'll get
only a poor view, when the girls stroll
down the street this fall. The stylish
girls will have the opportunity Of kid
ding the men to death, or almost. You
see. it's this way:
The skirts will be slit just as usual,
only there will be no opening. In fact,
they will be shadow skirts without any
shadows. It's a cruel blow, but it has
just been decreed by the Chicago Gar
ment Manufacturers association.
The skirts will be just as tight as be-
fore and just as thin, only they will be
less sensational. The dressy women
are demanding the style and grace Of
the narrow slit skirt, but they do not
want the EXPOSE which accompanies
the present style. They are asking for
an "1-Don't-See-You" gown.
The narrow skirt with straight lines
will prevail. There will be much more
fullness around the hips and skirts will
be somewhat longer. Drapings will be
popular.

.High Tariff Produces Industrial
Increasing.

Berlin. Aug. 1S.-As a result of the
financial and industrial depression.
Germany is confronted by the problem
of caring for an unprecedented army
of unemployed.
Germany's protective tariff is almost
as prohibitive as the Aldrich tariff in
America.
Attention was called to this condi-
ton by seven large mass meetings of
h unemployed in various parts Of
this city today. Resolutions were
adopted demanding hat the govern
ment enact a law granting insurance
against unemployment and demanding
that the state and municipal authori-
ties provide work and that state meas
ures be adopted to relieve the suffer-
ing.
1t is estimated that the unprece-
dented number of $4,000 persons are
out of employment in Berlin, thou
sands of whom will have no chance to
&c to work for five months. Indica-
tioEs are that this number will be in
creased when winter arrives.
