BRIEF RESUME or STATUS
OF RELATIONS WITH MEXICO

Washington, March Officials here
discussed with such interest today tho
report Of Captain Sanders. OF the Texas
Rangers, saying Clemente Vergara, an
American citizen reported hanged. had
really been kidnapped and shot BIZ
Huerta's federals.
While Consul Garrett had been orr
dered to make an extended inquiry and
vigorous representations demanding fe-
paration be made to the Huerta gOy-I
eminent at Mexico City, there was little
official Information today on the Ver-tt
CARA killing, which has admittedly;
stirred the washington government
Just as much as the recent execution
at Juarez.
The inquiry into the Benton case was
planned to begin in earnest today or
tomorrow with the departure OF al
special train from Juarez for Chihua-l
hua furnished by Villa, bearing repre-
sentatives of England and the United
States. In Chihuahua, American Con-
sui Letcher will join the Investigators.
Opinion is divided here on whether
Benton's body after being buried nearly
two weeks in a tropical climate would
show if his wounds were inflicted by a.
pistol or a firing squad. While no sat-
isfactory answer has been made to the
American governments request for the
surrender of the body to the widow
that point will not be pressed until ALL
tile SNlucIlCG oI d
is secured.
That General Carranza was rapidly
getting into touch with the situation att
Juarez and Chihuahua and would ex-E
ert his influence to clear up the Benton
case, was the informal assurance which
reached here today.
1t was also supposed that Carranzaf
would gain compliance to the American
demand for the bodJSs
Officials had before them today Gov,
ernor Colquitt's telegram asking
whether the United States recognizedI
any constituted government in northerni
Mexico, with whom he could arrange
for the extradition Of those whom heg
believed responsible for the death OF
yergara.
Charge O'Shaughnessy reported too
day that he had made representations.
concerning Vergara's death and that
the Huerta-eoyernment had promised
a full and detailed explanation OF the
killing. -
The charge did not refer III his dis
patches. 70 the memorandum published
yesterday asking the UEited States to
revSke permission TO the constitutions

So far there is no official knowledge OF
any resumption by the Huerta govern.

the delinquency of more than $4,000

was reached by the Chicago South Side

made a survey Of all the saloons on

girls at that" the report reads.
A woman investigator entered every
saloon on these streets at least once.
She was nowhere refused admittance,

These declarations are made in the
report submitted to the legislature to-
day by a commission appointed last
year, which has conducted a detailed
investigation In rs Massachusetts cities
and towns.
The report say that millions Of doll
lars are invested in establishments
utilized for immoral purposes and that
prostitution in all its ramifications con-
stitutes a vast business extending all
over the state"
The report emphasizes the dangers
OF unregulated lodging houses, public
dance halls n recreation parks.
The commission has found wide
spread evidence of a strong public sem
timent against the continuance OF the
conditions it has found to exist and ex-
presses the conviction that this evil

THE fact that one hall of the women

the report says, clears t;se way for
successful treatment Of a portion Of
this class. The recognition OF feeble

public schools and proper provision for
their protection would prevent much of

girls and the resulting temptations to
boys.
While the officials In no city in the
state have openly adopted the policy

report. yet it is a fact that in certain
CITIES there are streets where the bust
ness is conducted in much the same
way as If segregation was the accepted
official policy.
In the larger cities the most fragrant
expression Of commercialized prostitu-
ton is in connection with certain cafes
and saloons. These places are enor-
mously profitable. The police take the
position that they have no right to In

served. but 1t is difficult to UNDER
stand why these immoral cafes and
saloons are tolerated."

MALARIA AND MOSQUITOES
Hstate Board of Health Starts Cam
paign Against Insect. 81.

Z Richmond, Oct. 16.-To locate ma
laria-carrying mosquitoes and to
/ show how the destruction of this pest
| prevents the spread OF malaria, the
State Board OF Health and officers of
the United States Public Health Ser
+! vice have undertaken campaign
against "chills and fever" in infected
counties of Virginia. Details of the
campaign, Of which no previous an
rouncement has been made, are given
in a special bulletin Of the State
Board of Health.
Drs. r. H. Won Ezdorf and R. C.
Derivaux, Of the United States Pub
lie Health Service, have been detail
ed for temporary work with the
Virginia officers. Both are we'll
known authorities on malaria proven
ton and have done much practical
work in the South.
The boards plan is to take few
typical communities in which ma
laria has been spreading and to dem
onstrate in these, by practical field
work, what steps are necessary to
keep the disease from spreading. The
health officers begin their campaign
in a given locality by making a
thorough survey to demonstrate the
presence and breeding places of the
anopheles mosquito which carries the
parasite of malaria. Efforts are then
made to enlist the support Of local
authorities in definite cleanup cam
paigns, filling, draining and oiling,
by which mosquitoes can be destroy
ed. Reports thus far received in.
dictate lively public interest in the
counties where the work is being
done.

FRANKS FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Condemned Still Has a Chance II
Escape Death.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct .16.-Leo N
Frank, convicted of the murder OF
Is year-old Mary Phagan, and whose
extraordinary motion for new trial
was denied by the State Supreme
Court Wednesday, has still another
chance for his life, and probably two
more chances. On October rs, .:
soon thereafter, the State Supreme
Court will listen to arguments oil
motion to set aside the verdict Of
the jury which convicted Frank on
the ground that he was not in :hc
courtroom when the verdict was re-
turned. Should this motion be de-
aieG, Franks attorneys plans to
make an attempt TO take the case to
the United States Supreme Court.
They say a constitutional point il
involved.
The State Supreme Court was
unanimous in denying the eXtraordi-
nary motion for a new trial.
The extraordinary motion for a
new trial alleged numerous grounds
principal of which was the contention
that DR.. H. F. Harris, State med!-
cal expert, had declared that hair
found on the turning lathe in the pen
Gil factory differed from the hair
taken from the head of Mary Phagan
after her death. Other new evidence
included an affidavit by the Rev. J.
3. Ragsdale, who alleged that he
overheard a negro confess to the
murder Of Mary Phagan, which was
later repudiated by Mr.. Ragsdals;
the alleged confession obtained from
James Conley in the Fulton county
Jail by a negress named Annie Maud
Carter, and numerous affidavits in
which States witnesses were pur-
ported to repudiate evidence given by
them at Franks original trial, most
of which affidavits were later recant-
ed by their makers.
This was Franks fifth attempt to
obtain retrial or an annullment Of
he verdict, which was returned on
August 25. 1913.
