ATLANTA JUMPS FROM
FIRE into Frying PAN
Another Sensational Trial
viii Soon Begin

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 2S.-With echoes
of the Frank trial still filling the air,
Atlanta is about to enter upon another
sensational cause celebre," in the
famous Crawford will case, in which
Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford, the hand
some widow, is accused of poisoning
the aged husband from whom she in
herited more than quarter of mil
lion dollars.
Several years have passed since At
lanta was free from some kind of a
court sensation. The Grace case, the
Appelbaum case, the Mary Phagan
murder, and now the Crawford will
case have followed one another n
regular succession.
The Crawford case was postponed
four weeks until after the close of the
Frank trial, because of the fact that
Attorneys Reuben Arnold and Luther
u. Rosser are attorneys both for Frank
and for Mrs. Crawford The latter case
will now be further delayed until
the outcome of the hearing for new
trial in the Frank case on October A..
Should Judge Roam decline to grant
a new trial, as it is supposed HE will,
the Frank case will then go to the ap-
pellate court and the result will be
that the Crawford case will be taken
up Immediately after the final settle
ment one way or another or the FRANK
case.

union STATION
MAY COME FROM
Line EXTENSION
SUCH MATTER is DISCUSSED
When Central Extends Track
Uptown

A new union passenger station, the
fond hope of Americus during man"
years, may soon become a reality as
the result of the extension of the
Central railway tracks uptown AMI
right into the commercial districts as
made possible by the action of city
council in granting the use of the
streets to the railway company for
this purpose.
The Central railway has long stood
ready and willing to extend it's side
tracks along Hampton street, south
ward, but this could not be done un-
der existing laws, where abutting
property owners objected, as was the
case at the time.
By special act of the legislature the
city is now permitted the right to grant
to railway companies the privilege of
constructing and operating tracks up
on any streets in the city The first
work outlined is the extension of the
track along Hampton street, by the
baseball park, to Lamar street.
This extension, as already pointed
out, will result in the great enhance
ment of realty values along Hampton
street. The baseball park and other
vacant properties will soon be built
up in wholesale stores or warehouses.
There is no doubt but that the Cen
tral and Seaboard can join lines
shortly at some point uptown and then
will the long-desired unoin station be-
come an assured thing. Both roads
must soon provide larger depots here.
Why not a modern passenger station,
as suggested?
The Central railway will doubtless
soon begin the extension of its tracks
along Hampton streets, and then will
probably develop the plans for un-
ion depot in due season.

|GREASER CHIEF
MAY YIELD To
WILSON'S DEMAND
HUERTA is MORE PACIFIC
Situation is Pleasing to Wash
ingtOn

Washington, D. c., Aug. 28.-Provis-
ional President Huerta has with
drawn his request for an exchange OF
ambassadors, and asked that the pres
ent diplomatic status continue until
after the Mexican elections in Octo-
Der. BY some that was interpreted as
a concession.
Senor Gamboa, Mexican secretary
for foreign affairs, pointed out that
the demand of the United States for
the elimination of Huerta, would oa
met by provision of the Mexican
constitution which makes provisional
president ineligible to reelection. The
Washington government, however, de-
sires assurances more definite.
John Lind, President Wilson's en-
voy, was authorized to return to
Mexico City from Vera Cruz, eff n
his discretion it seemed advisable
1t is believed here he will go, and
that negotiations over some of the
disputed points, principally the re-
tirement of Huerta, may be re-opened.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan regarded the situation as "en-
couraging," and indicated they ex-
pected some change in the attitude at
Mexico City after the presidents ad-
dress before congress yesterday was
digested.
United States consular officers
throughout Mexico were rounding up
Americans, advising them to leave
Mexico and preparing means to all
them in doing so.

Thaw today gave out the following

MAY I acknowledge the fair play
accorded by everyone since my ar

tude for the sympathy shown by the
Canadian people and to thank es-
pecially all the Canadians that I hav-
come in contact with personally. II

entirely at variance with the malice
shown in New York.
"It is only fair to make clear that
the people of New York are all right;
no unfairness can be found in the
people of New York. A proof Of
this was found in the vicious oppo-
sition to giving me an honest jury
trial shown by the undemocratic a.
torney general. He and his pals
know that a New York jury would
stand for fair play too."
Thaw's counsel contend that they
were within their rights in with
drawing the writ of babeas corpus
The court held in brief that man
may discontinue any proceedings he
has undertaken in his own behalf,
provided there is no specific law for
bidding it.

fire Threatens
DESTRUCTION OF
GREAT STEAMSHIP
AFIRE At new YORK DOCK
Biggest Ship in the World
Threatened

New York, Aug. 2S.-The steam
ship Imperator, largest vessel atioaf,
was swept by fire early today as she
lay at her dock in Hoboken, with her
crew and 1,131 steerage passengers
aboard. Second officer Cobrick, who
led the crew into the hold to fight the
flames, was cut Off from his men, en-
veloped in cloud of smoke and suf-
focated. His body was found an hour
afterward, untouched by fire, and
brought ashore.
A seaman, identity not yet determin-
ed, was one of the party who went
down with Cobrick into the bowels or
water into her hold. When the fire
was checked at 8 o'clock, the great
vessel had listed Is degrees.
Passengers Flee in Terror.
The small army in the steerags,
aroused from their sleep by the crack
ling of the flames rushed panic strick-
en- for the pier, where most of them
spent the rest of the night huddled In
discomfort at the shore end of the
pier.
None of the steerage passengers
had been inspected by the customs or
health authorities. Because of this,
armed guards surrounded them. The
immigration authorities rushed them
to Ellis Island at the earliest possible
moment this forenoon.
The great ship was dark with all
on board asleep, except those on
watch when smoke ascending from
the provision room was discovered
simultaneously by a seaman on deck
watch and petty officer en- the
bridge. Almost at the same moment
the cracking of flames was heard
in the steerage quarters.
Great Ship is Saved.
A quiet alarm was sounded. Com
modore Russell, commander in chief
of the vessel, was among the first to
respond. The crew of 1,1SO men
were in their places within minute.
The complex firt-fighting apparatus
of the vessel was set in motion.
Every compartment was ordered
closed, except those which it was
necessary to leave open for the steer
age passengers to get ashore.
The stampede of steerage passen-
grs toward the deck checked for 4
moment the fight against the flames
The ships officers and hundreds Of
the crew lined up in two columns
along the route to safety, guided
the terror stricken men and women
to the pier.
With the ship clear, the entire
force turned its hand to extinguish
ing the flames. For three-quarters
of an hour they fought the fire with
only the Imperator's own apparatus.
Then despairing of success, the
Hoboken fire department was notified
and a general alarm was sounded.
