VILLA PREPARES
FOR IMMEDIATE
TRIP SOUTHWARK
WILL MARCH UPON CAPITAL
OrOZCO Decides Not To Start
Revolution

Ell Paso, Tex, July 27. - Indica-
tions today were that General Villa
was preparing to move his entire
army toward Mexico City, leaving
only local garrisons in the territory
he dominates. 1t previously had been
understood he would participate in the
mobilization above the national capi-
tai with only 5000 men.
Reports received at Chihuahua City,
where Villa is quartered, said the
eastern and western divisions were
mobilizing large numbers of men to
the south. This was said to account
for Villas delay in moving south, and
the extensive recruiting of men
throughout his division.
1t was predicted that the general
movement south would begin by the
middle Of the week

AMERICUS AGAIN
ROASTING UNDER
BLESTERING HEAT
NOT HOTTEST OF SEASON
But Temperature Was SG-
VerGIy Felt

When Americus people arose yes
terday from sleepless couches of the
night before, it was to face brazen
heat even worse, if possible, than that
of Sunday, which was we'll nigh pros
trating. The night was tortuous, an1
few people slept at all. Yesterday
morning the heat was again intense,
with record of 50 degrees at 8
O'Clock in the morning. This tempera-
ture would have increased, no doubt,
but just before the sizzling earth
really blazed into flame, lowering
clouds stopped the incineration of this
mundane sphere in the nick of time.
Showers in the afternoon brought fur
ther relief in a fall Of fifteen degrees
from the high point of the morning
Sunday easily won the button as the
hottest day of summer here.

APPOINTMENT Of
ANOTHER JURIST
FULLY EXPECTED
WILL BE NAMED THIS YEAR
Is Opinion Of Rep. Webb Of
North Carolina

Washington, D. c., July 27.-It is
very probable that another judge fo.'
the United States court for the south
ern district of Georgia, will be named
during the present session of congress
and that the charges against Judge
Speer be dropped at this time. Asked
for information on the status of these
matters, Representative E. Y. Webb,
of North Carolina, chairman of the
house judiciary committee, has made
the following statement;
I'VE unanimously reported out OF
the committee on yesterday, the bill
for the creation of an additional
judgeship for the southern district OF
Georgia, and l have strong hopes Of
getting the bill passed this session,
although it is not certainty by any
means, owing to the legislative situa-
ton here"

PRES. HARRISON
APPEARS BEFORE
congress BODY
Makes Tart Reply to DHIaDy
Charge

Washington, D. c., July 27.-Fair-
fax Harrison, president of the South
ern railway, today tod the senate
committee investigating Southern
coal traffic that in his opinion B. l..
Dulaney, the independent coal opera
tor of Bristol, Tenn, whose charges
have formed the basis for coal in
quiry, was suffering from what is
known as 'delusion of persecution
Il believe Mr.. Dulany has deep
seated hatred for one or two men who
have succeeded in the Virginia and
Southwestern and Appalachian coal
fields where he failed" said Mr.. Har-
rison.
Being unable to reach these men,
he attacked the Southern railway, as
a railroad in these daye is always a
target for attack.
Il resent with every fibre of my
being the charges of bad faith and
chicanery brought against the crgan-
ization of the Southern, and l think /
am supported therein, by that great
mass of people who have done bust
ness with us in the South.
Il feel a further resentment at the
charge that the direction of the policy
of the Southern railway has been in
outside hands and that the manage
ment has been for any other interest
than that of the. Southern. The ambi-
tion and policy of the Southern has
been to take part in the regeneration
Of the South and in that policy its Off
GERS and management all along has
shaped it's course"
President Harrison contended that
the charges were in the temper. of the
times that would listen to any al
legation that railway is being used
for dishonest purposes"

MANY PENITENTS
ASSESSED fines
OF one DOLLAR
FAILED TO CLEAN UP YARDS
And Nov The Hay Out On
The Back Lot

Twenty Americus penitents, all Of
them Americus home-owners, paid one
bone each in police court yesterday for
failing to comply with the mandate of
the board of health to clean up their
premises or cut the hay that encum-
bered the vacant lot. This order went
forth ten days ago and the majority
of citizens had enough of the Solo
monic instinct to obey the orders. But
others did not, and in consequence an
array of police court cases resulted.
The presiding genius of the courtroom
soaked each defendant a dollar, and
this cleanup" process at home will
be given more careful attention. In
the meantime the council. should see
to it that the cleanup process begins
at home and send the garbage wagons
into the residence sections much Of
tener.

Clash of Arms May Yet Be
AVerted

London, July 27.-Glimmers of hope
flickered in the darkened sky of Eu-
ropean politics, and the wish was gen
eral that the efforts of the great Euro
pean powers to avert a clash of arms
which might involve many nations
would be successful.
While all the powers were prepar-
ing for hostile eventualities their
statesmen with Sir Edward Grey, the
British foreign secretary, at their
head, were endeavoring to bring to-
gether the governments at issue with
view to mediation
At the Servian legation in London
the view was held that some improve
ment in the situation had resulted
from the influence by Russia.
Alexander Georgevitch, the first sec
retary said: Eve have complied with
everything that does not impair our
sovereign rights We hope Austria
Hungary will recognize that consider
alton is due an independent state and
so avert war. IT, however, Austria
Hungary wants war, she will see that
we are prepared to accept it."
The fact that Austrian ambassadors
abroad we're willing to discuss con-
troversial points with foreign govern
ments and especially with Russia led
to the belief that an outlet for the
deadlock would be found.
