Much Discussion
Over Ordinance
HEALTH Department SAYS THE
SANITARY CLOSETS MUST
BE INSTALLED.

The validity of the ordinance pass
ed by the council covering the sani-
tary closets will probably be settled
in the courts as the question is caua
ing endless discussion.
The notice recently sent out by the
health department, that peop.e who
had failed to comply with the ordi-
nance, calling for the installing OF the
system within stipulated time,
would be docketed was followed dur.
ing the past few days by such action
and number of cases will be heard
by Mayor Hopkins in police court
this morning.
The officers of the health depart
ment stated yesterday that the ordi
nance must be complied with and the
sanitary closets installed as until the
ordinance was either repealed or de
clared Invalid by the courts there
was no middle course to pursue and
that failure to install the new system
would be followed by the court docket

HARVEY kINGRY.

Moultrie, Ga, Nov. 13-Berry Watts
kingry accidentally shot himself yes
terday morning, was arrested in the
afternoon charged with the murder OF
Kingry.
Watts, in telling of the alleged ac-

only witness to the tragedy, but later

scene. 1t was then decided to hold
an inquest over the body of kingry.
At the inquest the Lee woman prac.

Watts Watts, in his statement 10 the
jury, told one conflicting story after
another as to how the alleged acci-

were able to keep down trouble.

WILSON AGAIN
DELAYS ACTION
PRESIDENT PREPARES STATE
MENT, BUT DECIDES TO
WITHHOLD 1T.
NO RESPONSE FROM HUERTA
No Reason for the Change in Presi-
dents Plans Were Given at the
White House, but Long Dispatches
Have Been Received from Mexico.
SUMMARY OF SITUATION.

SUM M Any Or 81 VA iON.
Washington, Nov. 13.-The status
of the Mexican situation today may
be summed up substantially as fol
lows:
The demands of the American gov
ernment on the provisional authori
ties at Mexico City had not brought
any response from Huerta.
The American charge, Mr.. O'Shaugh
messy, had not been instructed to call
for his passports.
The latest American demands call
upon Huerta for action which will
prevent the meeting of the congress
voted upon at the election held on
Oct. 26.
The unofficial negotiations which
William Bayard Hale is carrying for
ward with Cen. Carranza at NogaIes
Mexico, have to do principally with
the question of raising the embargo
on arms.
President Wilson prepared state
ment setting forth the attitude of the
United States, but it was not made
public as originally planned, but with
held 'for the present.

tification was published here today IN
der yesterdays date ordering the
Mexican senators and deputies who
were elected Oct. 26 to assemble dur
ing the afternoon of Saturday, Nov.
Is, in their respective houses in order
to effect their organization.
Provisional President Huerta show
ed no signs of weakening this morn
ing, and the American embassy was
in a state of suspense, not knowing
what to expect next.
An early caller on Nelson OShaugh
messy, the American charge, was the
German minister to Mexico, Admiral
Paul Won Hintze, who arrived before
Mr. CfShaughnessy had breakfasted.
1t developed today that in the
course of the preliminary exchanges
of views between John Lind, the per
sonal representative of President
Wilson, and the Mexican officials on
the question of the dissolution of the
new Mexican congress, Gen. Huerta
advanced the plea that he could not
dissolve it b cause it had been legal.
ly elected.
Mr.. Lind's reply to this was the pre-
sentation of the demands made by the
United States government accompa
MED by the declaration that what Gen
Huerta had been able to do with the
former congress he must do with this
one of his own creation.
