NO PROSPECT
FOR HUERTA'S
RECOGNITION
UNCLE SAM STANDS FIRM
Prospect For a Settlement
is Brighter

Washington, D. c., July 29.-Am-
bassador Henry Lane Wilson resumed
his conferences today with Secretar?
of State Bryan on the Mexican stu
alton. Mr.. Wilson had expected to
quit Washington today but remained
at the request of the secretary to con-
tinue his extended report of con-
ditions in the southern republic.
President Wilson had no announce
ment to make today about the policy
the United States would pursue toward
Mexico, but there is every reason to
believe no steps will be taken by tn S
country, pending the outcome of plans
being laid by leading Mexicans to
bring about peace.
The fact that some of the mediators
in adjusting the differences between
the followers of Huerta and Carranz1
were instrumental in persuadiils
Porfrio Diaz to abandon the presi-
dency is encouraging officials Ill
touch with Mexican affairs to believe
that their efforts may bring about the
resignation of Huerta.
While the Mexicans who are taking
an active part in the plans decline to
permit the use of their names at this
time, they have proceeded to the
point of informing Secretary Bryan
what they have in mind. No develop
ments are expected for at least a
fortnight, during which time the adj
ministration here will keep in close
touch with the negotiations.
The argument the Mexicans are
said to be planning to place before
Huerta is that the United States
under no circumstances, would recog-
nize his regime, and that to extricate te
Mexico from it's financial straits, it S
necessary to establish a new admin
istration and obtain the recognition Ci
the American government. If Huerta
was willing to abdicate a man acceet-
table to him as we'll as the corstitu-
tionauists would be named.
Ambassador Wilson had nothing 70
say today about the developments on
the situation generally. He had not
decided when he would leave for his
vacation.

LIGHT INFANTRY HELD
AN ENJOYABLE MEETING
At Which Not Only the Recent Encampment Was Dis
cussed But Also Many Plans for Improvement of
the Company This Fall

The return of the Americus Light
Infantry from the summer encamp-
ment at st. Simon's was signalized Ivy
most enjoyable smoker at the armory
Monday night in which Captain Fort,
Lieutenants McLendon and Hogue AMI
more than forty of the non-commis-
stoned officers and privates TOOK
part.
A tempting menu was enjoyed, after
which the officers and men in turn
made brief addresses relative to the
enjoyment of the encampment, the i'll
struction received and the material
benefit derived. Captain Forts re-
marks were along the line of general
advancement and improvement of the
physical condition of the company, the
attention to drills and the excellent
department of the men. He was proud
of his company as one of the very
best of the Second regiment at the en-
campment.
Lieut. Brown McLendon and lieu.
B. c. Hogue made brief addresses
along similar lines, all of which were
literally applauded. The men, in turn,
were called upon to tell what good
feature of the encampment most I'M
pressed them. 1t is a fact that the
Light Infantry created most favora-
BILE impression at camp not only vita
the commanding officers but upon the
hundreds of visitors, who commented
upon their fine appearance and sold
ierly bearing. 1t was also the largest
command there in point of numbers.
With pardonable pride in their COM
pany, pride which is shared by the
men as well, Captain Fort and Lieu
tenants McLendon and Hogue have de-
termined to renew their efforts to-
wards maintaining its record as one
of the very best in the service.
The Light Infantry has, at present,
an enlistment Of ffty-three men, with
in five of the full complement of fifty
eight, which constitutes a full COM
pany of the national guard. The Off
GERS are going after the requisite five,
and will get them, and others, toogThe
officers desire to have the company
recruited to the top notch, and to
render it so popular with the young

IEE TESTIMONY
BEFORE COURT
WAS UNSHAKEN
ADHEREs TO FIRST STORY
Case is Proceeding Rapidly
Now

Atlanta Ga, July 29.-When the
trial Of Leo NJ. Frank, charged with
tbe murder of fourteen year old Mary
phagan was resumed here before
1rdoo T. s. Roam, in the Fulton supe-
.;or court today, Newt Lee, negro
watcbman at the pencil factory where
tbe girls body was found, was aga'n
nlaced on the stand by the state.
Direct examination of the negro by
Solicitor General Dorsey failed TO
bring out anything in addition to the
original story, as told repeatedly to
the police and newspaper men.
Lee insisted that he knew nothing
of the murder or the presence OF the
girls body in the basement of the
factory until he found it on the morn
ing of April 27.
Early in the cross examination OF
this witness the first legal clash o.
the trial was precipitated when Lu-
ther 2. Rosser, of counsel for the de-
fense, sought to question Lee s-saru"
ing certain notes written upon
scraps of paper and found in the base
ment near the spot where the girl 5
body was discovered.
By order of the court the jury was
excluded from the courtroom while
attorneys argued the point Judge
i, Roam finally ruled that while the de-
A~fense could not introduce the notes
as evidence until the taking of direct
testimony was begun, it would be
proper to question Lee as to his
knowledge of them. The negro said
he knew nothing about the notes.
So whimsical and unconsciously
ludlcrous was much of Lees testimony
that Frank himself frequently laughed
heartily at the negro's words.
In answer to Mr.. Rosser's INQUIRY
as to what he did when he found the
body of the murdered girl in the base
ment the negro said, 81 lit a rag out
of there.'
Even Mrs. Frank, who was seated
at her husbands side, laughed.
When court adjourned for luncheol
Lees cross examination was still in
progress and attorneys stated that the
negro might be kept on the stand
throughout the day.

A BLACKMAILER
and A LIAR
UNDERWOOD SO BRANDS HIM
He Never Saw MuI.
hall Before

Washington, D. c., July 29.-MA-
jority Leader Oscar w. Underwood, Of
the house, today denounced Martin Nj
Mulhall, alleged lobbyist for the Ma
tional Association OF Manufacturers
as ''liar and blackmailer." The dem
ocratic leader appeared before the sen
ate lobby committee to deny that Null
hall had ever talked to him about
campaigns. After one look at the
witness he said:
81 never saw him before in Hly
life"
Senator Reed expressed the belief
that Mr.. Underwood should wait un-
til the committee should finish with
Mulhall.
Il Think" said the majority leader
that it is in the interest of the pub
lie that a man who has taken liberty
with the names of public men as this
man has should be contradicted. I re
gard a man of this kind as black
mailer.
"Mulhall has never been in the
ways and means committee room
since / have been chairman of the
committee. When he says he had ar
interview, | want to say that state
ment is lie."
Mr.. Underwood appeared unexpect
edly and made a brief statement be-
fore he was sworn. He pronounced as
false statement sworn to by Mu,-
hall that an employe of the ways anj
means committee had been in his em-
ploy. According to Mulhal1's earlier
testimony, the man was paid $40 2
month.
"You made a statement that this
man was a blackmailer; that means
he used threats to extort money" said
Senator Reed.
81 think he was just trying to gel
money out of his own people" re
turned MIR. Underwood.
Chairman Underwood read Null
halls letter about the alleged inter
view in which Mulhall wrote that Mr.
Underwood had told him that he could
not do otherwise than appoint Will
liam B. Wilson, now secretary of Ia
Dor. chairman of the house labor com
mittee, because there was no other
CdHuludl0 uolOIc CuC way ehhu hASS'AA'
committee.
"That whole statement is lie Gu
of whole cloth--not a word of truth
in it," declared Mr.. Underwood
There never was a question, bn
Wilson's selection as head of tha
committee solely because of his ca
pacity and qualifications.
"It is clear to me this man was
down here writing these things to hi!
people trying to make out that he wa
doing great things. He never hat
any conference with me. The state
ment in his letter can be disproved b!
every member of the ways and means
committee. I am sure never met tht'
man. He has a face l could not for
get.
There is nothing here that re
fleets on me-" continued Mr.. Under
wood, 'but I want it set right befor'
