FRANCE DEMANDS
PAYMENT FROM MEXICO
FOREIGN POWER PROTESTS TO
HUERTA GOVERNMENT AGAINST
SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS on
1910 AND 1918 LOANS

Paris, Jan. 20.The French foreign
office today instructed the French
minister to Mexico to protest to
Provisional President Huerta against
suspension of payment of interest on
the Mexican public debt. The French
note differentiates between the loans
cf 1910 and 1918. The first Of these,
secured by 62 per cent. of the MeXi-
fan customs dues, received the formal
approval of the French government
which authorized the .ssting of the
bonds on the bourse. The foreign of
fee, therefore, protests on its own ac-
count against the default of interest on
that loan. The second protest is made
on behalf and at the request Of French
bankers in regard to the loan of 1918,
which was secured by 50 per cent OF
the Mexican customs dues, but which
did not receive the recognition of the
French government
1t is understood the note to Pro-
visional President Huerta mentions in
careful terms the French government
will not now exercise its privilege OF
forced collection of the Mexican Gus
toms duties and the document is ar
ranged in such way as to tacitiy
support the Mexican policy of the Unit
ed States.

+CARS COLLIDED;
WHEATLEY AUTO
BADLY DAMAGED
ACCIDENT OCCURS LAST NIGHT
Collision on The Anderson
vile Highway.

In a head-on collision occurring
early last night between the handsome
new Packard car Of Mr.. Crawford
Wheatley and a heavy new Buick, the
big Packard was badly smashed, while
the out-of-town car sustained consid-
cradle damage as well. The driver OF
the Buick car, Mr.. D. Owens, of AL
bany was driving rapidly to Americas
from Macon, or some point above.
Mr.. Wheatley was driving out La
mar street to his home, accompanied
by Mrs. Wheatley's cousin, Miss Vir-
ginia Gum, and was within short ris-
lance of his residence when the big
Buick, it is said, plunged head-on into
his car, which was well over to the
right side of the street, as it should
have been.
The lights on both cars were burn
ing brilliantly, and there seems 70
have been no necessity whatever for
the collision.
The radiator of Mr. Wheatley's new
Packard, which he purchased week
ago for the sum of $500, was torn OF
the car, while other injuries were in
flicted as we'll. Fortunately, the
occupants of both cars escaped serious
injury. A wrecking crew from the Ry-
lander garage went out last night ana
brought back both the damaged cars
to the city.
The statement was made last night
by the wreck crew that Mr.. Wheatley
was in nowise at fault, as clearly evi-
denced by the position of his car far
over on the right side of the street.

Underwood Pleased.

Representative Underwood, demo-
cratic leader of the house, said of the
presidents message:
Il regard it as a great conserya-
tive state paper that points the way
To progressive remedial legislation that
will relieve the people from evil prac-
tees, and at the same time the tone
of the message is such that it leaves
no cause for alarm by legitimate
business interests"
"As always, the president speaks
tersely and with clarity" said Vice
Irtsident Marshall.
While it recommends radical re-
firms, the message is couched in con
seTyative terms"

ter, were sentenced to terms of five
months on the Sumter county chain
gang upon their plea of guilty upon
misdemeanor charges.
The men gave their names as
Thomas Fair and Joseph Jeno, and
Memphis as their home. Judge W. M.
Harper heard their plea of guilty and
imposed sentence upon them.
Jeno pleaded that mercy be shown
them, as this was the first time they
had been arrested upon the charge of
beating their way upon trains, and
asked that they be let off with one
months servitude. Judge Harper re,
GREETED that he could not comply with
the request, and cited the very large
number Of similar cases brought BE-
fore his court here during the current
winter season.
The sentence carried the alternative
of fine of $40, and if the men can Sc
cure the money from home, as they
suggested, they will be released from
the changing.
Jeno and Fair were coming into
Americas on a Seaboard freight yes
terday, but jumped off at the Mucka-
lee trestle Police officers, with dogs
belonging to the county gang went n
pursuit, and after hot chase throug /
mud and water, reeds and bushes, the
tourists were caught.
This addition to the county gang
makes a total of more than twenty
white tramps sent there recently from
the city court, and all upon the charge
of train jumping. All are young fell
lows, seemingly strong and hearty,
and all claimed to come from the north
en- route for Florida to remain through
the winter. But winter will have pass
ed long before any Of them doff the
convict garb and get out of Americas,
The county does not care for such
labor as the men are green and not &C
cpstomed to road work, but under the
Ireson law making it misdemeanor
to eat rides on trains, Judge Harper
says he has no alternative but to send
them to the gang.

so she took a car on another line that

Forty minutes later she stepped

CHAPTER x.

To an American, accustomed to get
ting things done first and talking about
it afterward there is nothing so subtly
irritating as the old-world Journalism,
the polite evasiveness of the Next
cans; and yet, at times, they can speak
to the point with the best of us.
For sixty days Don Cipriano Aragon
had smiled and smiled and then, sud-
denly. as the last day of their mining
permit passed by and there was no
record of a announcement by Cruz
Mendez, he appeared at the Eagle Tail
mine with a pistol in his belt and a
triumphant sneer on his lips.
Behind him rode four Mexicans.
fully armed. and they made no reply
to De Lancey's polite "Buenos dias!"
Take your poor things" burst out
Aragon, pointing contemptuously at
their tent and beds, "and your low,
pelado Mexican-and co. This mine
no longer stands in the name of Cruz
Mendez, and want II for myself No,
not a world" he cried, as De Lancey
opened his mouth to explain. Moth

his hand to his six-shooter which hung
low by his leg and stepping forward.
I'VE will not go!"
WHAT" stormed Aragon, you"
BE careful there!" warned Bud,
suddenly fixing his eyes on one of the
four retainers. IF you touch that gun
I'll kill you!"'
There was a pause, in which the
Mexicans sat frozen to their saddles,
and then De Lancey broke the silence.
You must not think, Senior Ara
gon." he began, speaking with a GER
tain bitterness, that you can carry
your point like this. Ny friend here is
Texan, and If your men stir he will
kill them. But there is law in this
country for every man-what is 1t that
you want?"
II want this mining claim" shouted
Aragon, that you have so unjustly Ia
ken from me through that scoundrel
Mendez! And / want you to step
aside. so that l can set up my monu-
ments and take possession of it."
THE Senior Aragon has not been to
the agente mineral today" suggested
De Lancey suavely. IF he had taken
the trouble he would not"
Enough" cried Aragon, still trying
to carry it off cavalierly; Il sent my
servant to the mining agent yesterday
and he reported that the permit had
lapsed." ..
IF he had taken the pains to in
quire for new permits. however" re-
turned De Lancey, "he would have
found that one has been issued to me.
