WON'T Recognize
THE MAN ELECTED
omitted States Assumes Sup
- erYisory Powers Over
w
Huerta.
FOREIGN POWERS ACT
Germany Sends Cruiser to Mexican
Waters, But White House
knows Why.

Washington, Oct. 14.-The admins
tration has assumed supervisory pow
ers over the present Huerta govern
ment in Mexico.
Official notification was sent today
after cabinet meeting by Secretary
Bryan to John Lind and Charge DAT
fairs O'Shaug hnessy that the United
States does not and will not recognize
the Huerta plans for the proposed
election and that it will not recognize
anyone chosen at such election.
Further instructions We're sent to
OShaughnessy and Lind to scrutinize
the conduct of the proposed trial of
the arrested deputies.
Informally Secretary Bryan had al
ready instructed Mr.. O'Shaughnessy
and Mr.. Lind to state that this gov
eminent would view with stdisfavor"
any harm that might come to those
deputies.
The State Department understands
by advices from Mexico City that
three or four Of the European nations
have taken the same view as this
country as to the acts of the dictator
Huerta. This foreign action is not
however, taken jointly with the United
States, but concurrently.
The official report that Germany IS
rushing a cruiser to Mexican waters
is considered as the highest import
ance by government officials here.
So far as the White House and
State Department are concerned, ac-
cording to their statements today, they
are in the dark as to the real purpose
of Germany taking hand in the sit
uation.
Secretary Bryan, in fact, said that
he would not comment on the act of
Germany as reported, for the reason
that there was no official communica-
ton of the German views to this gov
eminent.
Usually all the moves of this gov
eminent are communicated to the for
eign powers when they effect Next
co. 1t was reported to him unofficial
ly that Great Britain meditated with
drawing her recognition of Huerta
Mr.. Bryan would not comment on this
statement, nor upon the conclusion
from it that Huerta ought not to be
recognized as dictator as he has
changed the form of government un-
der which he was recognized by Great
Britain. He has also changed the gov
eminent which the United States con-
siders defacto.
"The acts of this government" said
one official today, "seems to show that
the time is approaching when the
United States itself must cease to rec
ognize Huerta as a defacto ruler un-
der his new assumed authority"
Secretary Bryan gave out this after
noon the decree of the dictator in
which he intimated that the jailed de-
puties are to be brought to trial. The
State Department also gave out
statement declaring that Huerta says
that the deputies must stand trial for
sedition.' General Huerta further
states chat no violence will be done
the imprisoned deputies"

Congressman Clark Warns
Governor Trammel of
yellow Peril"
INFLUX OF JAPANESE
Says Land Sharks Would Sacrifice
civilization In Order to
Grow Rich.

Washington, Oct. 1i.-Con gress-
man Frank Clark. of Florida, today
sent to Governor Trammel, Of that
state. a tclcgrahic demand that the
state legislature be convened il spec
ial session to pass 4 law prohibiting
| Japanese ownership Of land in Flori
da.
The action of Mr.. Clark follows the
party OF Japanese is now in Florida
looking over land owned by former
Governor Jennings, first cousin of
Secretary of State Bryan. These
Japanese came from California,
where the land bill against which
Japanese protested, depriVes them Of
the right to own realty.
In his telegram TO Governor Tram
mel. Congressman Clark says:
Japan is looking for more terri
tory. 1t is her purpose to COLOMBO
a large part of Mexico and it is also
her purpose to locate within the Dor
ders of continental United States as
many thousands and hundreds Of
thousands of Japanese as we will
permit, her ultimate purpose being
war with this country. She has stu
dents today at practically every col
lege in the United States.
81 am reliably informed that the
Japanese government is actually fur
nishing money with which to pur-
chase lands in the United States.
What does all this mean? Don't you
believe that we should take every
possible step to be prepared If the
conflict should come?
at is in your power to protect the
white people of Florida against an
influx of this undesirable, unassimil-
able yellow horde. You can call the
legislature into extraordinary SEES
sion and let our state follow the eX-
ample of California and forever close
our doors to these Asiatics. Shall we
endanger our civilization anu
jeopardize the integrity of our race
in order solely that a few land
sharks may wax fat? God forbid!
Let Florida say to all the world
we want honest, white settlers no
matter from where they come. We
will welcome the Caucasion race no
matter what his nationality, his re-
ligion or his politics, but Florida
has not one. inch of soil for immi-
grants of the black or yellow races
Congressman Clark says he wants
no further complaint of race prob
lens: that the negro problem is SUI
ficient for Florida to handle at this
time.
Here are two races of people liv-
ing upon the same soil, under the
same government, one recognized as
the most superior and advanced race
in the world, the other as the most
inferior, ignorant and debased race
in Christendom," said Congressman
Clark. eft is utterly impossible for
these two races to inhabit the same
equality whether social or political.
The white people of Florida and OF
the United States will never consent
to assimilate with the negro and STU
pendous as the task may seem, the
only solution of the question which
will preserve the integrity of the
white race at the same time be fair
and Just to the negro, is deportation
of the negro and settlement in land

FINE EDITORIAL
On HOME LIFE
THE CALL OF THE SOUTH"
TAKES ISSUE WITH CHAR
LOTTE GILMAN.

Atlanta, Nov. 22.-The new South
ern magazine, The Call of the South
is remarkable this issue for leading
editorial from the pen of the editor
of the magazine, Jonathan b. Frost.
Mr. Frost takes issue with a recent
article by Charlotte Perkins Gilman,
which has attracted nationwide at
tention, and declares that her ideas of
a community life as u substitute for
the home are intrinsically wrong and
dangerously harmful.
The editorial is a powerful argu-
ment in favor of the home as now in
stituted, as opposed to all those ideas
of community kitchens and communi-
ty life in socialistic sense, which
economic theorists have SO often
urged
"A communal kitchen might not
waste FOOD Mr. Frost declares, but
its more awful waste would be the
waste of home ideals, the waste of
the sweet relationship between hus-
band, father, mother, wife; the waste
of tho delights of providing for ones
little children; the waste Of the wom-
ans opportunity to grow proud and
joyful when the results of her loving
efforts are success"

How to Use PeruRa
for Coughs and Colds

If Peruna were used mt the begin
ming of every cold, coughs would gem
orally be prevented
After the cough begins Peruna will
generally stop 1t just as quickly as 1t
ought TO be stopped. To stop a cough
before all of the expcctoration has
been removed is to do great injury
After the expectoration has been
properly removed the cough will stop
itself. That is the only proper way
to stop cough.
Occasionally u cough depends upon
an irritable condition of the Iarynx
or bronchial tubes, in which there is
little or no expectoration.
The problem OF stopping such a
cough is Il slightly different one.
Even In those cases Peruna ought to
be taken. but sometimes it is neces-
sary that local treatment be added
Every one who has a troublesome
cough or n lingering cold should write
the Peruna Company, Columbus,
Ohio, for n free copy of the Ills of
Life" There is no free pamphlet dis
tributed to-day Of more real value
to the sick and afflicted than the new
Ills Of Life" 1t is filled from cover
to cover with actual cases of cough,
colds and other climatic diseases in
all stages and complications. You
could scarcely fail to find your case
exactly described in this book.
TO neglect to do everything possible
to get rid Of a stubborn cold or
chronic cough is very unwise indeed
Peruna has enjoyed q great reputa-
ton as o. remedy in such cases for
thirty or forty years. AS a rule, a
person who uses one bottle OF 1t Is
always afterwards an enthusiastic
advocate of Peruna. Peruna itself Is
a means of selling more Peruna than
all advertisements put together
Those who object to liquid medi-
cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

Atlanta. Nov. 22.-It begins to look
rs if the Fulton county grand jury

husband
1t viii be recalled that the fight
against Mrs. Crawford was begun by
the he.rs-at-law in the civil side of

cred to institute criminal proceedings
in connection with the old mans
death.
Mrs. Crawford's attorneys have de-
manded that the matter be brought
10 an immediate issue, either by no
! bill or a trial The grand Jury was
IN session all day yesterday and failed

situation are rather expecting that Il
no bill may be the result.
