Huerta Government Stubborn
CDy Ass0eatol Prem. y

Washington, Aug. 26-Hope that
the government of Provisional
President Huerta would recede from
its refusal to entertain suggestions
of the United States for peace in
Mexico practically vanished today
when President Wilson prepared to
appear before the joint session Of
both Houses of Congress at 3 p. m.
to read his special message defining
the governments policy in the pres
ent situation. For the first time
since George Washington, a presi-
dent determined to personally ap-
pear before Congress on a question
Of foreign policy. In view Of the re-
lection of its suggestions by Mex
leo. the United States has not felt
compelled to emphasize it's idea by
arms. It has obtained the moral
support of the civilized world and
had decided to pursue a policy Of
absolute non-interference. From
the first 1t realized that there were
only two alternatives, friendly medi-
alton or armed Intervention. One
failed. and in the opinion Of the ad-
ministration officials no existing
emergency calls for the other.

LOOK OUT FOR
THIS "BAD NIGGER"

Jacksonville, Aug. 2s,-In an
attempt to locate Frank Brown, 9
desperate negro thief, early yester-
day morning. Deputy Sheriff J. A.
McCloud. and Constable J. +.
Tracey ran into the unexpected, and
were kept at a distance with large
caliber Winchester rife in the hands
Of the negro, who made a flying
escape when the ammunition of the
officers. carrying small arms. had
become exhausted. Brown, who is
considered one of the worst negroes
the local authorities have haa .
contend with, has been sought for
months, and gave Sheriff Bowden
considerable trouble early last fall,
when he set out to capture him.
The negro has always said that he
would never De taken alive and that
he would shoot any officer who at
tempted to take him into custody.
Nearby towns have been notified
that Brown is at large. and it ID
thought he will be captured within
a short time. He is without money
and very shabbily dressed, and can
easily be detected. He Is a negro
of the ginger cake variety, weighs
about 200 pounds, and is never
without his rife.

NEGRO WHO killed
WHITE man SURRElDERS
Slayer Of Canup, at Lake Alfred Vol
unfairly Gives Himself Up
to Officials

Charles Morgan, the negro who
killed white man, Turner Canup,
at Lake Alfred, in this county. Sun
day morning, voluntarily surrend-
cred to the officers this morning.
Morgan said he had been in the
swamps almost up to his neck in
water ever since the trouble, and
had had nothing to eat. He thought
whatever might be done to him
could not be much worse than he
was experiencing, so he gave him
self up. He was placed in Jail at
Barlow.
It is the opinion Of those who
know the circumstances that Nor
gan killed Canup in self.defense, or
in a quarrel that was forced upon
him, and that he will not be severe
ly punished for the act.
