Island in Gulf.
Atlanta, July 15.-Interest in the
search for Mrs. Elois Nelms Dennis
and Miss Beatrice Nelms, missing
daughters OF Mrs. John w. Nelms.
OF this city, to-day centered in re-
ports that two persons answering
their description were on Petit Bois
Island, in the Gulf of Mexico. Eff
forts to locate and identify the wo-
men, however, thus far have failed.
Seargt A. M. Zuck' of the local
police department left here late to-
day for New Orleans TO aid in the
to determin the truth
or faisity OF the letter received by the
mother on July from San Francisco
which was signed with Mrs. Dennis's
name, and which indicated that she
had killed her sister, was preparing
to kill her brother and would then
kill herself. The letter was mailed
July g.
The police department representa-
tive expects to follow the trail of the
missing women from New Orleans,
where they first went when they lefl
here early in June
GOING TO INDIA.
Investigation today showed that
Mr.. Dennis was desirous of selling
her rel estate belongings here be
fore she left, and that she disposed
of one piece OF property. In a letter
to a local firm she said:
Il am going to leave Atlanta in Il
few weeks-going to India to live,
and am very anxious to sell all OF my
holdings before doing So"
Connected with. this development
was the report from San Antonio to-
day that on June 25 a man giving
his name as c. w. Sims sent by ex-
press from there to San Francisco a
typewriter with Hindu characters.
1t was addressed to Victor Inns, San
Francisco. Dispatches from San Fran
cisco said that the typewriter had
been bought by Victor Inns in 1913
and was returned recently by express
from San Antonio to the firm that
had sold it on the lnst&llment plan
GOT DIVORCE.
Victor e. Inns, former assistant
United States district attorney in Ne
vada, avs Mrs. Dennis's attorney in
Reno, Nevada, about a year and
half, ago when she obtained a divor-
ce there. He has denied that he
knows anything Of the missing wo-
man and that he has had only busi-
ness dealings with Mrs. Dennis since
she secured her divorce.
Fearing that Mrs. Dennis may be
carrying out her expressed intention
to go to India, San Francisco authori
ties today were asked to investigate
the lists of passengers sailing from
there for the Orient since July 3.
The San Francisco police today tel
egraphed the local police department
asking for Photographic copy of the
letter received by Mrs. Nelms.

DISORDER MARKS
AIKEN SPEAKING
fractional Feeling Shown at
Campaign Meeting.
RICHARDS THE CENTRE
Liberty Hill Candidate Draws Fire
of Opposing Element of Crowd
Some Excitement.


Aiken Special to Columbia State
July 14.-Disorder and a display OF
factional feeling that outdistanced
previous meetings resulted here to-
day when John G. Richards candidate
for governor read q statement of his
position in opposing E. ID. Smith for
the United States senate. Smith sup
porters apparently attempted to
drown out the speaker, while Blease
supporters and those wanting an i'm
partial hearing were equally en-
phatic and demonstrative in their de-
sire to have the speaker finish. The
audience previous to this outburst
had been but intermiLCcntly en-
thusisastic and had given each can
didate a courteous reception and
close attention. | at the injection of
discussion Of the merits of Blease
and Smith for United States senate
the calm was ruffled.
Through the severe arraignments
of policies of the present admins
tration supporters OF the governor
remained comparatively impassive at
the start and far into the speaking
Of the candidate for governor the
crowd showed marked tendency to
accept the statements from the speak
ers without question. Their applause
and cheers were distributed accord
ingly. Possibly the best illustration
of the disorder that prevailed dur
ing Mr. Richards speech was the fact
that he was on the stand 25 min
utes, speaking in the face OF a crowd
that yelled madly for Blease, Smith
and Richards. Mr.. Richards picked
up a glass as though preparing to
throw it at one of the hecklers who
became very personal.
The meeting of the candidate for
State offices was held in Geddiugs
park, one of 43 parks in the town OF
Aiken.
The meeting was called to order
at 1890 o'clock by l.. T. Wilds,
county chairman, who turned over
the chair to G.. l.. Toole.

The galleries of the Chamber OF

gining of the session today.
Intense excitement Characterized
the gathering, and at the close OF the
reading Of Huerta's resignation the

WASHINGTON is PLEASED.
Washington, July 15.-News of
General Huerta's resignation as Pro-
visional President of Mexico was hail
ed by official Washington tonight 20
the first practical step toward 4
quick solution of the Mexican prob
lem. Constitutionalists, diplomats
and officials of the United States
were elated over General Huerta' g
voluntary withdraw and predicted
an era of peace in his country.
Although the Constitutionalists
have declared they would not recog-
nize Francisco Carbajal as pro visio-
nal president, and the United States
Government likewise will refuse to
recognize him the understanding
here is that the new Executive will
hold office only until arrangements
can be made for the entry of Gener-
al Carranza, the Constitutionalist
chief.
Diplomats in close touch with the
situation declare Carbajal and those
who are associated with him in an
effort to restore peace desire only a
general amnesty, conserving the lives
and property of Huerta's supporters.
With this obtained the peaceful en-
try into the Mexican Capital OF Con-
stitutionalist troops will be negotiat-
ed.
