ing sentence, Judge Hill said:
The evidence in this case shows
that you stabbed this man to death.
The jury did not believe, however,
that you did it with malice, and Meth
er do I. The law allows me to SEN
tence you from one to twenty years.

years, but the taking of human life is

More alarm is felt here by the Mex

General Carranza's troops have cap
tured three large cities and many
small cities.
See No Hope for Rebels.
Supporters OF Huerta are confident
that the belpgerency of the Carranzd

United States because Of the execu-
ton OF the Federal officers at Juarez

that followed the capture OF Victoria

pected to receive Huerta's message
without protest and indorse all the
actions of the dictator.
To calm any fears which might be
felt by the people, Foreign Minister
Moheno issued this statement:
The Government does not give any
importance to attacks made by rebels
on several cities, because their acts
do not affect public opinion. Condi-
tons differ from those of 1911 when
the fall of Juarez caused a tremen-
dous reaction against the Govern
ment of Porfirio Diaz The present
Government has the support OF a ma
jority of the people and the revolu-

General Huerta, members OF the
Cabinet and the justices of the SUI

committees representing the Senate
and Chamber of Deputies that both
houses have organized and are now

matte corps, II Is believed will at

afternoon, although 1t is understood
that Charge OShauRhnesSy, of the
United States Embassy, made a pre-
vious engagement to play golf at the
Country Club.
That Huerta will recognize Con-
gress as a legally constituted legisla-
tive body is foregone conclusion al
though he may recommend a new
election for President and Vice Pres
ident, secure in the belief that Con-
gress will abide by his private desires

TEXAN EXPLAINS
HOW HIS STATE
ADvERT|SES
Secretary of First Cooperative
Chamber of Commerce Here to
Aid Georgia Boosters.

Georgia people don't half appreciate
the undeveloped resources and ad-
vantages of their own Commonwealth,
and, being in this inexcusable igno-
rance, how can they impress the rest
OF the country with the great benefits
that Will come from trade relations
with the Empire State of the South ?
That was the question propound-
ed Wednesday by j. A. Arnold, Of
Fort Worth, Texas, who has the
distinction OF being the secretary OF
the best systematized, most effective
and one of the oldest State CONNER
cial organizations in the United
States.
Mr.. Arnold is in Atlanta to look
over the field that is to be occupied
by the Georgia Chamber of Com
merce and to offer suggestions out
Of his six years experience with the
Texas organization. He will return
to Fort Worth Wednesday night or
Thursday. He was one OF the speak
ers Tuesday night at the Georgia
products dinner in Dalton.
Educate Georgiars, Too"
The Texan described the work Of
State chamber of commerce as
very similar to that of the city com
merCiaI bodies except that II should
be on a much larger scale and should
involve. perhaps, more Of the idea
Of a vast educational campaign to
what Georgia has to offer, but Geor-
gia's own citizens as well. They,
strangely enough, are but little bet
ter Informed as to the great possibili-
business men of the East and the
North.
First educate Georgia's own people
as to what is in store for them If the
States resources properly are de-
veloped and it will not be long before
the business interests in other sec
tons will find out about 1t, according
to Mr.. Arnold.
IL 10 pain u ino ttldl georgia Is
in the midst of a period of crafty
ing prosperity and commercial ad-
vancement." said Mr.. Arnold. 1T is
just the psychological time for the
launching of movement like that
contemplated by the Georgia Cham
Der of Commerce. The work of the
chamber can be given an impetus
now that it would not receive in a
time of business depression.
Plan Successful in Texas.
I'VE must have been successful In
Texas or the work of the chamber
would not have been continued. 1t
is difficult to measure exactly what
is accomplished by any mathematical
means, for the work is largely edu-
cational.
We teach the people the industrial
and agricultural possibilities OF the
State in which they are living, and we
get the favorable attention of out
side capital whenever IT is needed.
The Texas organization Of business
men has the reputation of being the
model of its kind. 1t is the only one
which has survived and maintained
its original organization.
There are 1876 city and sectional
chambers of commerce represented in
the State body. In 1912 we spent
$4,000 in development and publicity
work, and we feel we'll satisfied with
the expenditure and the results.
have no doubt that Georgia can and
will get just as satisfactory results
from its organization"
