AMNESTY To ALL
HUERTA'S PLAN
FOR PEACE
Mexican President Will Sign
Pardoning Bill Very Soon,
Says De la Barra.

MEXICO CITY. March 19.-Follow-
ing . meeting Of the provisional Mexi-
can cabinet in the national palace to-
day, Senior de Ia Bavra said that Presi-
dent Victriano Huerta had decided to
sign the general amnesty measure at
once, probably in few hours"
The government had relied upon the
amnesty bill as master stroke TO
placate the rebels of the north and
south, but reports of fighting showed
all too plainly that the governments
plan had missed fire General Mon
dragon. minister OF war. is leading a
faction which is opposed to making the
measure a law, because it may be con-
strued as a weakness of the provisional
government.
This bill eXempts from punishment
ali rebels and political prisoners up to
March a. said General Mondragon. and
consequently it would set loose a horde
Of malcontents who might overrun the
city. There are 500 political prisoners
in Belem penitentiary and in the mill
tary guardhouse here. Undoubtedly
the men would not bear any feeling Of
friendliness toward the government.
This is no time to relax. We nave
already tempered our strict rule with
more mercy than the situation de-
manded The laxity of the martial
rule of the district has undoubtedly
encouraged rebels. Bandits do not fear
the government. The only penalty
which would inspire fear is death"
The government issued it's first cali
for volunteers to the army under the
new regulations. Pay of IS a month is
promised. In time of peace they will
be reduced to pesos a month. The
troops viii be drilled by military ca
diets from the Chapultepec academy
and by former rebel leaders who have
sworn allegiance to the government.

Sensation at Marriage.
The brides former marriage, which
was to the Earl OF Yarmouth at Pitts
burg in 1903 was characterized by an
incident 50 sensational that it formed
the main topic of discussion in society
10y sonic ililt thereafter.
The ceremony took place at the Cal
vary Episcopal church and was attend
ed by the leaders of Pittsburg society.
After the bridal party had gathered in
the church there was a delay. alleged TO
have been caused by the English noble
mans dissatisfaction with the dowry
arrangements. Finally the family law
ycrs were called in TO draw up an
agreement satisfactory TO the earl The
amount settled upon him is said to have
been $1,OOO,OOO.
II is said that Harry Thaw bitterly
opposed this transaction and there even
were rumors that he had soundly
thrashed the earl just before the march
to the altar began.
Differences Began Early.
The earl aud his American bride went
10 England to live almost Immediately
after the marriage. But thoy were
scarcely settled on the other side before
rumors of domestic differences began TO
reach this country. While the specific
cause of these Misunderstanding was
not mentioned, it was very generally
understood that money matters We're at
the bottom Of them.
Yarmouth had a brief career on the
stage He began in private theatricdls
at Newport and later went on the pro-
fessional stage in New York as Eric
Hope"
Al that time Harry Thaw was
young man about town, and he became
acquainted with the titled actor. Then
he took Yarmouth to Pittsburg and in
troduccd him to his family.

due to environment, and l know the

IF a woman marries a man she
later finds is tainted with mental dis

him without further delay and not dis

MOVIE MEN BASE

BY MAYOR
Look to Executive to ThWart
Sunday Ban by Foes in the
City Council.

Statements Of moving picture mana
gers today revealed that they are bas-
ing their hope of victory for Sunday
movies on the belief that Mayor Wood
ward will veto any action prohibiting
them.
While fifteen members of council
voting majority, have pledged their
support to anti Sunday moving picture
LEGISLATION. it is very uncertain if
two-thirds majority of council would
vote TO override Mayor Woodward's
veto in the matter
Navor Woodward declines to discuss
the matter for publication. He said
his time was taken up by the vastly
more important matter of a new char
fer for Atlanta" There is no doubt,
though, all political critics agree. that
Aravor Woodward would veto any leg
lslation tending toward "bluer" Sun
day.
Church to Get Profits.
Though considerable disappointment
was expressed today that only $500 was
contributed by the $4,000 people said
10 have attended the movies last Sun
day. the nine theaters will be open
again next Sunday afternoon and night,
and the proceeds will be donated to a
congregation that is unable to raise
funds for building.
Following the meeting of the nine
managers, it was announced that the
5000 would be divided between the Wild
Dws of the two firemen who recently
ere killed. 1t also was stated that the
donations at Sunday performances
would continue to be donated to char
!ty.
Sims Now Heads Fight.
Frank Hammond, secretary to Mayor
Woodward, announced today that he
had retired from the leadership of the
light as the representative of the motion
1icture men and that Attorney Walter
A. Sims would have charge of the cam
paign from now on.
They are going to ask the ordinance
committee of council TO delay action on
fhe Maddox ordinance until a referen-
dun vote by the people on Sunday pic
Surss can be had. The motion picture
snen offer TO bear the expense of such
an election by system of postal card
voting
Permits Are Suggested.
Should the councilmen insist on rush
Ing through the ordinance absolutely
prohibiting Sunday pictures, the theater
managers will then start a fight in de-
mand of the enforcement of all Sunday
''hlus" laws.
Some Of the more conservative mem
hers of council have suggested COM
promise in the form of permits for Sun
day pictures at hours that will not con-
llct with church services.
