Huerta Asked to Look Into Crime,
Although Occurring in
California.

WASHINGTON. March l6 !mme-
date investigation of the murder of
Frank " Johnston. postmaster at Te-
carte. Cal, by band of MeXicans was
ordered b. Secretary of State Bryan
to day.
While the State Department does
not consider that the murder itself
is a matter for the exercise Of gov
ernmental authority, as the killing
occurred on the American side Of the
border. the State Department will use
every effort to have the murderers
apnrehended and punished.
Representation will be made i'm
mediately to the Huerta Government
to have the matter looked into, but
the actual investigation of the coln-
mission of the crime will devolve upon
California authorities
Secretary Bryan to-day received a
telegram from Z. 3. Johnston, broth
er of the murdered postmaster, re-
questing him to investigate the mat
ton relative to the murder which has
reached the State Department.
Denies Vergara Was Killed.
President Huerta and the Mexican
Government deny responsibility for
the murder of Clements Vergara, the
Texas rancher, and have absOlved the
Federal soldiers in Coahuila from
blame for the stockman's death, aC-
cording to advices received here to-
day.
This action is based upon an Off
cial finding sent to the Mexican War
iardo. chief of the Federal forces at
Department by General Alberto Qua
Cuidad Porfrio Diaz. following the
dispatch of an order sent him to in
vestigate the murder
Guajardo's report and the action Of
the Mexican Government caused no
surprise here A similar course has
been followed in other cases that
caused representations to be made by
the American Government.
In his report to the Mexican War
Department Guajardo declares that
Vergara was a bandit who smuggled
arms across the border; that he was
captured and that he escaped OF the
report that Vergara had been shot
and hanged Guajardo says:
"Consus Hunting Trouble"
q can assure you that this is false.
There is no truth in the report shat
an American citizen has been eXecut-
ed at Iidalgo.'
Referring to the official statement
of an American Consular officer that
Nergara had been shot and hanged,
Guajardo added: II deduce that the
Consuls are looking for ways OF
making trouble for our Government
The Secretary had not received any
intimation that President Huertd
would refuse to pay for the upkeep
Of the 5000 Mexican refugees now be-
ing cared for on the order by the War
Department. Charge 'Shaughnessy
has been instructed to bring this mat
ter to the attention Of President
Huerta and to try to obtain payment
Of the bill for the care of the refugees,
which now amounts to considerably
more than 81 100000.

PROBE FOR
TRUTH Of
CASE, IS
BEGUN
Famous Detective, With His
Best Men, Hard at Work;
Expects to See COnIey'

William J. Burns was hard at
work Monday upon the mystery
surrounding the death of Mary
Phagan and the dramatic cir
cumstances following it. The
greatest detective in the country
was determined to make a COM
plete, exhaustive inquiry and
was confident that when he had
completed his work he would be
able once more to say:
There are no mysteries.
Mr.. Burns declared that he would
give his best personal efforts to the
case and would be in Atlanta for
several weeks. He announced that he
would be assisted by some of his
ablest men.
Will See Jim Coniey.
The famous detective is known 10
be anxious to avoid any semblance
of a controversy with local officials
but determined to prosecute his in
quiry to a satisfa Glory end, no mat
ter where it leads. He said he was
confident that the city and county au-
thorities would not want to put any
obstacles in his way.
Mr.. Burns will see Jim Conley in
the course of his inquiry. He did not
want to talk about any fight that
might be made on his seeing the ne
gro. but he has overcome far greater
opposition in some of his previous
"a SEES and his demeanor made it plain
that if he wants to see the negro he
will see him. Mr. Burns said, how
ever. that he was not expecting TO
break the negro down at this late
date.
The detective said it was too early
for him to pass comment on the JUS
lice or injustice of the conviction or
Frank but did not hesitate to say
that the prisoner has not one single
characteristic of a pervert.
Burns arrived in Atlanta Sunday
with his daughter, Miss Florence, and
took quarters at the Georgian Ter
race. He went over the evidence in
the case with Franks lawyers. but
he is working absolutely indepen =

Progressing Nicely.

The various committees appointed by
Floating Canoe Tribe, No. rs, l. o. r.
NJ, to make all preliminary arrange
ments Tor the numerous tribes through
out the State which will congregate
here during the next fortnight, have
been untiring in their efforts, and there
is every indication the coming meet
will eclipse any previous gathering OF
Red Men held in the domain of Ken
lucky. Elaborate preparations are be-
ing made for the entertainment of visit
ing tribesmen, and judging things from
the present outlook, it will prove one OF
the most notable fraternal gatherings
ever held within the gates of our city.
On Sunday, May 10, the local tribe
will hold memorial services and pay
loving and graceful tribute to their de-
parted tribesmen-their dead. There
will be several splendid orators present
on this occasion, and the ceremonies
will be solemn, beautiful and impressive.
Hon. Beckham Overstreet, of Louisville.
the gifted young Kentucky orator, will
be the principal speaker on this occasion.
He has thrilled and charmed thousands
by his matchless ora DRY, and the public
is invited TO hear him.
Monday, the llth, members of the
"Haymaker," side issue of the Order,
will engage in grand powwow and
war dance and make things both lively
and interesting for all corners and goers.
There will not be dull moment during
the entire day. AS everybody knows.
the "Haymakers" are lively bunch and
do not belong to that dull class of indi-
viduals. You must be up and doing
when the 'Haymakers" are on the war
path, or you are liable TO lose your scalp.
No doubt, several pale faces will be
branded
Tuesday morning, the 18th, the Great
Council, composed of big chiefs and
great warriors = representatives from
every tribe in the State-will be here
and go into executive session.. New
rules and regulations will possibly be
adopted at this session for the govern
ment of the numerous tribesmen who
abound Throughout the Kentucky hunt
ing grounds. This, no doubt, will be
most interesting meeting. A large
number of delegates are expected TO re-
spond 10 roll call, as there are hundreds
of tribes in the Kentucky reservation.
The Great Council sessions will take up
all of Tuesday and Wednesday. Some
of the Big Chiefs and High Dignitaries,
who directed the deStinies of the Ken
lucky Red Men, will surrender their
robes and high offices to other notable
warriors and braves, who will endeavor
10 carry out the great work formulated
by their worthy predecessors.

ENDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proof AS This Should

Citizen.

The public endorsement of local cit.
izen is the best proof that can be pro
duced. None better, none stronger can
be had. When man comes and testi-
fies to his fellow-citizens, addresses his
friends and neighbors, you may be sure
he is thoroughly convinced or he would
not do so. Telling ones experience when
it is for the public good is an act OF
kindness that should be appreciated.
