Next Step Will Probably Be
Taken After Elections
of October 26
HUERTA MESSAGE OF
LITTLE IMPORTANCE
United States Battleships Will Be
Kept in Mexican Waters as Long
as Deemed Necessary-Refu-
gees Tell Why They Left

Washington, September 17--So far
as the Washington administration is
concerned it became known tonight no
move is contemplated in the Mexican
situation at present. The elections Of
October 26 now are awaited here with
keen interest and the next step in the
policy of the United States is likely to
make its appearance thereafter
Administration officials read long
excerpts of General Huerta's message
to the Mexican congress published here
today, but no formal comment was
made. 1t is understood that the admin
istration does not attach much impor-
tance to the document, though there
are passages in it which did not pass
without careful notice.
Huerta's statement that the tense
ness of diplomatic relations was with
the government of the United States,
although luckily not with that people" I"
envolked little attention, as the same
sentiment had been previously voiced
by the Mexico City officials and the an
swer from here was the enthusiastic
encouragement which President Wilson
received when he addressed Congress
and the speeches supporting him made
by republicans and democrats in Con-
gress.
Battleships Will Remain
To references to the expiration of
periods during which American war
ships were authorized TO remain in
Mexican waters caused some discussion.
lnasmuch the ships are permitted
to remain another month. or until after
the general elections are held. no
statement of policy in this connection
is likely to be made until that time.
informally officials let it be known
that the vessels would be kept in Mex
lean waters indefinitely if the United
States deemed it necessary for the pro-
lection of its nationals.
Secretary Bryan sent cablegram to
John. Lind at Vera Cruz advising him
of the governments view of the Huerta
message, but the contents of the dis
patch We're not. disclosed.
Huerta's declaration also that he
hoped to turn over the adinterim gov
ernment to a successor, while not Civ
ing any direct Information as to his in
tention not to be candidate, strength
ened the belief here that he would not
figure in the coming elections These
points may be the basis for the resump-
ton of negotiations but the United
States does not intend to go forward
with them unlees the Mexican authori-
ties are disposed to reopen -the par
leys.
Election Is Doubtful
In some quarters here there is strong
disposition to doubt whether there will
be constitutional election in Mexico on
October 26 Constitutionalst representa-
tves point out that with the election only
about month away, nobody knows who
the candidates are or what their plat
forms will say.
Should an election be held, the attitude
the United States would take is doubtful.
Recognition will under no circumstances
be accorded Victoriano Huerta. This is
known from unquestioned sources /. Re

SCHMIDT AND MURET
ARE LINKED CLOSER
Have Known Each Other Two Years.
Federal Authorities Present War

New York, September 17.-That Hans
Schmidt, the Jekyl-Hyde priest, whose
double life was exposed Sunday, when
he was arrested and confessed the muir
der of Anna Aumuler, after killing the
girl and dismembering her body in a
Bradhurst avenue fiat. hired another
apartment. In which he presumably
planned to conceal himself, was devei-
oped from police discoveries today.
Evidence also was found linking closer
and for longer period than had been
supposed the lives of Schmidt and his al
legged counterfeiting partner, the unli-
eensed dentist DR. Ernest Muret.
The latter's papers, found in his office
by official searchers, indicated he had
left London for some offense committed
while practicing medicine there, and had
practiced in Chicago under the name OF
'Dr. Arnold Held leaving that city and
dropping the name of Held some time
after July, 1909. Although Muret has
claimed he met Schmidt only six months
ago, evidence has appeared that they had
business relations as long as two years
ago, and that the dentist long had know-i
edge of Schmidt's S counterfeiting expert.

Whitman Takes Case in Hand
District Attorney Whitman returned to
the city today from a brief vacation and
took the Schmidt investigation in hand.
coincidently the federal authorities
stepped into the case with warrants for
Schmidt and Mufet, charging that they
had In their possessions implements with
which to make counterfeit money.
The detectives still securing the neigh
borhood In which Anna Aumuller was
murdered, found today that three DAYS
after the crime man resembling Schmidt
but giving another name rented an Eighth
avenue apartment, for which he paid a

left there contained photographs of Miss
Aumuller and Schmidt, as well as nu-
merous little feminine belongings. evil

Intention of Amendment

Most senator's are of the opinion that
the seventeenth amendment without re-
gard to how it may be interpreted, in
tended to provide that after 1t went into
effect every new member of the United
States Senate should be elected by the
people. But the most 4mportant part
played in this matter is played by the
people themselves, and so far the people
have had no chance to express their
views. The Individual members of the
Senate all believe that ii makes no differ
ence what techntcalities one may invoke
in rendering a decision as to the real
meaning of the seventeenth amendment
in this connection, that the people then,-
selves believe that the meaning of the law
was that they would have a voice In the
election of all United States senators
after the adoption of the amendment. and
if the people believe this, that it would be
the part of wisdom to decide 1t in that
way.
To decide in favor of seating Mr. Clay
ton would establish precedent for sue
cessor for every member of the United
States Senate who was elected before
the adoption of the amendment, provided
he died. or resigned before the expiration
of his term. The Senate on a point of
law might come tc the conclusion that
this was perfectly proper and within the
meaning of the amendment and settle the
question, as they are the sole judges
but they are not going to decide it that
way for the very best of reasons, and
that reason is that they are firmly con-
vinced that while they might put this in
terpreation upon the question, the people
do not and will not and the Senate is

Unwilling to Go on Record

People in Selections
ALABAMA IN VERY
UNUSUAL POSITION
State, According to Governor and Ad-
visers, Has Complied With the
Law and Is Still Denied
Representation
nv @. 70. STEWART

Washington, September l7-(Special) }
Many states have gone for months with
out the fun representation, to which they
were entitled under the constitution in
the Senate. In most such cases, however.
the blame was entirely upon the state,
and usually because a Legislature was
deadlocked over a senatorial choice. Ala
bama occupies right now a unique posi-
ton. According to the governor of Ala
bama, the state has complied with the
law and named senator to fill the va
cancy existing from the state, and in this
contention he IS supported by some very
able lawyers.
On the other hand, the Senate itself =
not officially. but through the expires
SION of its Individual members admits
that the question of the right of Repre-
sentative Clayton to his seat upon the
credentials of The governor of his state
is at least depatable one, but neverthe-
less they have carefully refrained from
settling the question, and in the meantime
Alabama, through no fault of her own,
SO far as precedent is concerned, stands
without full representation. AS a matter
of fact, in the opinion of quite number
of senators and members of Congress the
Senate is not going to be in a hurry to
settle this question. They may not settle
it at this session.

What People Would Think

To decide that the governor had the
right to appoint would be regarded by
many people that the Senate was trying
to withhold their vested rights, and to
keep out of their hands as long as poss-
BILE the privileges granted them by this
amendment. The Senate does not want
to create such an impression, with even
a minority of the people, and inasmuch as
the most of them believe any way that
the success of Senator Johnston should
be elected by the people of Alabama, or
appointed with the consent of the legisla-
ture, If they reach a decision at all in the
case it will be adverse to Mr.. Clayton.
Only the popularity of Mr. Clayton and
the strong contentious of Senator Bank
mead have served ii delay the matter at
ALL Otherwise 1t is quite likely that less
consideration would have been shown
At present there is not even a quorum
of the Senate IN Washington and quite
likely there will not be for two or three
weeks until the currency bill is ready to
be taken up in the upper House.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-09-18
Most of Them Are Away

Senators In the meantime have taken
advantage of the lull and most of them
are among their constituents while at
home doubtless they will begin the prac-
people of another state of their constitu-
ents. and they may begin on the Clayton
case. 1t would be a brave-not to say
careless--senator who would go on record
with campaign staring him in the face,
as being opposed to giving the people all
that they are entitled to under this
amendment even If 1t concerns only a
neighboring state at this time, especially
when 1t Is Just as easy to justify the
other view Of the question.
Opponents of every candidate for re-
election to the Senate would point out
that the senator had voted to deprive the
eople of another state of their consttu-
tional rights and whether this were true
or not 1t certainly would have telling ef-
feet with quite a number of people who
look upon the question in the same light
For this reason there can be but little
doubt but what the next senatoHwho rep
resents ANbam in the upper House with
Senator BanlShead, will be elected by the
people. Mr.. Clayton himself is candi-
date for the place TO whith he was ap-
pointed and declares that he is in the
fight to stay, and that he has every as
surance that he will win

GIRLS TOMATO CLUBS

The organization of tomato clubs,
which has brought forth such splendid
results in Florida and other states, is
creating much enthusiasm, and espe
cially will the people of Marion coun-
ty watch with interest the efforts of
our girls, who are going into this
work. There are now 70 girls en-
rolled, divided into II clubs. Other
clubs will be organized just as quick
ly as it is possible to get to them.
Girls entering the tomato club con-
test must be between the ages of ten
and eighteen years. They obligate
themselves to plant and cultivate one
tenth of an acre in tomatoes, agreeing
to read and study such literature as
will be sent them from the United
States department of agriculture,
which will benefit them greatly in
their work. In some instances girls
plant other vegetables on the plot
with the tomatoes, which is permissi-

for sale The tomato club girls are
going to do their very best to show
good work for Marion county, and it
is earnestly hoped that our merchants
and all consumers will offer every in
ducement to them in their undertake
ing. Just as long as the club mem
bers get good prices for their toma-
toes they will sell them, keeping close
account of all sales made Then, as
the canning season comes on, they
will be instructed in the art of can
ming, which will mean the saving of
great many dollars in our state and
in the homes. 1t also means a better
Grade Of canned goods for the home
table, and less waste in the garden
or field. Furthermore, these profits
are added to each girls individual &C
count, which not only encourages her
from a financial standpoint, but opens
the way to greater things. She sees
what a girl can do, and recognizing
what she and others have proven
themselves competent to do it en-
courages others to follow, and SO on
goes this endless chain Of good work
among our boys and girls. They learn
to produce better and more abundant
yields and the art of canning takes
care of thousands of dollars worth
that otherwise would waste on the
ground This is a work that means
much more to our county than We
realize, and l urge its consideration
by the people at large, in order that
the organization may go on as rapid
ly as possible.
