That several negro women
overheard jim Conley when he
ran the insurance agent, Mineey,
away with the alleged statement
that he had just killed a girl and .
didn't want to kill any one else,
and that the afidavits from the
women are in the hands of the at
torneys for the defense, was
stated Saturday by Attorney
j. II. Leavitt, who aided in OBJ
tanning the sensational affidavit
from Mincey.
Attorney Leavitt defended the
character of the man who made the
affidavit and denied emphatically that
Mincey even asked about the money
he would receive as a witness. except
whether his railroad fare would be
paid If he were out of the city.
Explains Dukes Doubts.

Insurance Company and know it's
manager. J. S. Dukes, very WELL" said
Leavitt. He sought to discredft the
affidavit very likely because ATincey
left his employ to get a better posi-
ton and he had to do some of the
outside work. Mincey is a college
graduate and is well known in At
lanta. 1t will be utterly impossible

MEXICO CITY. July 1S.-Formal
protest was lodged to-day by the
United States Government against
the action of the Mexican Govern
ment in allowing the Mexican press
to stir up anti-American feeling.
Two notes were presented by
United States Ambassador H. L. VIII
son. At the same time denial was
made Of the report that United
States warships in the hsrbor at
Guayamas used their wireless and
searchlights to aid the rebels.
Those. publications have resulted in
scattered demonstration and rioting,
although no arrests have been report
ed. Notices have been posted in the
schools here for the children to secure
small Japanse fags. These win be
carried in a procession of children
who will welcome the new Japanese
Ambassador upon his arrival.
Jap Concessions Reported.
Mexico is cementing her relations
with Japan, and it is reported that
special envoy will soon be sent to
Toxic to invite the investment OF Jap
anese capital and rich concessions
will be given, It is said.
Following is a translation Of the
notices posted in the schools:
THE representative OF the japanese
Emperor to our Government is about
to arrive in this city. The attitude of
mutual sympathy and esteem which
our people and the people of Japan
profess is well known.
National Life in Balance"
I'VE firmly believe that the time
has come to tender a public and sol
emn testimonial Of internatlona, sym
pathy now that our national life has
been put to test by the imperialistic
ambassador of a strong people.
Therefore, the students of all the
schools are asked to be at the railway
station, each carrying a japanese
flag, to receive the Japanese Emper-
or's representative.
This act will be significant and of
great importance. The day and hour
of the Japanese Ambassadors arrival
will be announced later"
A number of American families
have made preparations to leave here
if further evidences of hostility are
shown.
Minister Admits Crisis.
1T is true that the situation is
delicate" said Minister of War Blan-
quet, but the Government feels it
can cope with it, Lamentable conse-
quences may be occasioned by the
anti American feeling, but we are

This seems to have been mistake.
Mexico has known nothing but disorder

masses are easily Influenced and easily
divided on matters of public concern.
Leaders appear and disappear with great
rapidity. Nobody knows what day may
bring forth. and everybody fears that
the new day may overshadow the record
of the old day for disaster.
So the masses of the Mexican people
had not outgrown the old rule or ruler.
They were not fitted or clamorous for a
larger share in public affairs. They were
not suffering under rule which was re-
tarding their happiness and prosperity.
They were in clover as compared with
their condition since.
