En- vista de que las comuni-
c~aciones con Mexico estan inte-

para evitar que vayan a ira

MINISTER
Senior MeIagarajo, En- Route to
Paris, Says He Is Going for
Health Only,

Accompanied by a number of nom
English speaking Frenchmen, and
admittedly on his way to France, SEN
or Melgarajo, of Mexico City, in the
car Needles" compartment e, at
the Atlanta Terminal at noon Thurs
day, emphatically denied the tele-
graphed reports from New Orleans
that he has President Huerta's resig-
nation or that he is going to Paris to
offer the Mexican Presidency to SEN
or De La Barra.
He was shown a dispatch from
New Orleans, which read:
"Senor Ameliano Melgarajo,- close
friend of President Huerta, to-day
admitted that he was on his way to
Paris with the resignation of the
Mexican Dictator in his pocket. The
soon as sdelgaraio obtained the prom=
Use of Francisco De La Barra, former
Provisional President and now Mex
lean Minister to France, that he
would accept the Presidency of the
Southern republic"
No Truth to Report.
There is not word of truth in
that report" replied Senior Melgarajo.
The truth is this; 1t is true | am
going abroad, and probably to Paris.
I am not going as a representative Of

going on public business of anv kind.
Il am going abroad on private bust
ness, the nature of which l 90 no,
care to discuss, and for the further
and more important purpose of re-
covering my health.
However, l am connected with the
Mexican Government in this way:
Il have been offered the appoint
ment as Minister from Mexico to Co
lombia. It all depends on whether my
health is improved in Europe as to
whether or not l accept that post.
, Denies Saying Anything.
THE news items sent out from New
Orleans about myself are fabrications
pure and simple. | said nothing to
anyone while was there
And even If were engaged upon a
secret mission, | certainly would not
talk to anyone about it. What is
more, l would not even see anyone as
l am seeing you.
Il intended to make this trip abroad
when was in this country last year,
but had not seen my family for so
long that l returned to Mexico, and
there suffered a complete breakdown,
and now / am away to Europe"

Huerta Denies Report;
Detests De la Barra.
Special Gable to The Atlanta oeoroIa,

Special Gable to The Atlanta Geora,sn,
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 12.-Govern-
ment officials declared to-day that
the statement made at New Orleans
by Senior Melgarjo that President
-Huerta would resign was false. They
asserted that Huerta detested Fran
cisco De La Barra and would never
retire in his favor.
However, when asked to explain
why Melgarajo was going to Paris
they would only say: He is en- route
for Colombia by way of France"
President Huerta to-day issued q
proclamation imposing heavy taxes
upon churches in Mexico. The money
thus raised will be used in paying off
the soldiers OF the Federal army.
With this decree Huerta also OBJ
tains revenge on his political foes,
among whom the Catholic party has
been numbered since the withdrawal
of FREDERICK Gamboa from the Min
istry of Foreign Affairs.

Not Guilty Plea by
Attorney for Raine

MEMPHIS, Feb. &c. Hunter
Raine, confessed defaulter whose cot
ton speculation wrecked the Mercan-
tile Bank of Memphis, appeared be-
fore Judge Edgington in Criminal
Court to-day and pleaded not guilty
to indictments charging embezzle-
ment and criminal breach of trust.
John Mason, clerk of the court and
lifelong friend of Raine, wept as
he read the charge of embezzling
$7SS,S04.76 to the prisoner and asked
for his plea. Attorney Thomas A.
Evans entered the plea of not guilty
in spite of the fact that Raine has
asked to be allowed to plead guilty
and take the consequences.
