Committee TO
LEAVE At ONCE
FOR WASHINGTON
BEHALF OF STRANDED BANK
To Explain Situation to Au-
thOFitiGS There

A committee Of three Americas bust
ness men representing the depositors
Of the Americas National bank, for
more than a month in the hands of 4
receiver, expect to leave tonight for
Washington for the purpose of con-
ferring with authorities there relative
to the banks condition, so far as they
are able to get information, and dis
cuss with authorities the possibility of
permission to put the bank upon it's
feet again shortly.
Parties with ample capital it is said,
stand in readiness to take over the
bank and pay off the depositors imms-
diately, as well as other indebtedness,
if permitted to do so. But before this
can be done they desire, very natural
ly, an audit Of the banks Indebtedness.
The depositors believe that if ade-
quite help is given in the auditing d
accounts that they may find out in less
than two months more the general CON
dition of affairs. Hence the trip to
Washington.
The depositors should, as a matter
Of equity and justice, defray the ex-
penses of the committee to Washington
and to that end the depostors are urg-
ed to leave a small contribution each
with Mr. T. L. Bell, secretary of t he
committee. Depositors to the amount
Of 500 or less are asked to give 80
cents; $500 or less, 81; $1,000 or less.
81. Surely the effort made by the com
mittee is worth the cost many thous-
and times over.
The committee and depositors urge
that if advantage is to be taken of the
offer made them the time to act is nov.
A delay of several months might be
fatal to their plans. If you, depositor,
are willing to help the cause, give your
contribution to T. L. Bell and do it to-
day

As Result of Tragedy.

Norcross, Ga, March 3. - R. =.
Martin, formerly a railway mail clerk,
shortly before 10 o'clock this morn

with a razor.
Physicians say that Martin can
live only few hours. Mrs. Mckinney,
who was wounded in the neck, will re
cover, the doctors assert.
Martin was in a wreck on the Sou

in a nervous condition since. 1t is
thought that his i'll health drove him
into a sudden frenzy, which resulted
in the shooting.

SOME MORE DOPE
FROM POLITICIANS

Atlanta. March 3.-It begins to look
like every man is going to tote his
own skillet" in the political ring this
summer. fractional line-ups are be-
-ng discouraged by former leaders OK
both sides and the general sentiment
seems to trend toward peace, or IL NOT
actually peace, then as much peace as
possible.
While political predictions, hke
those about the weather, are often torn
to shreds by winds from unexpected
quarters, particularly when the pre-
|dictions are made far in advance, lots
of politicians are already doping out
the probable outcome Of this summers
activities. If their dope is correct am
other year may see both Hoke Smith
and John M. Slaton in Washington
That Senator Smith will be return-
ed to the senate, unopposed, that Gov
ernor Slaton will resign the governors
ship and be elected senator to sifr
Bacon's place, and that Georgia win
have new governor-in all probabiE-
ity Randolph Anderson of ChathaDs,
is the way mony people think the
wheel is going to turn.
Ii that line Of dope doesn't fit in th0
gentle readers notion of the way 1t il
coming out, let him stick to his ovSn
guessing. His is just as good as any-
body else's, and with snow still on
the ground nobody is foolish enOuEs
to suppose that he knows for certain
what will actually happen in the gum
|mer
And, then besides, there is "a
the possibility that the suffrage
who are rapidly increasing in nuHalse
in Georgia, may take hand and
everything topsy-turvy.

Reserve Right to Secure ReparatiOn in

London, Eng, March 3. - The

in connection with the deadlock ove
the investigation into the death OF
VIM. S. Benton, was made quite plain
today in the house of commons by
Sir Edward Grey, British foreign sec

Sir Edward, was, however, equally
explicit in pointing out that if Great
Britain failed to secure satisfaction
through the United States, Great Brit
ain reserved to itself the right to
secure reparation whenever it was
able.
The promised -pronouncement on

british MINISTER CONFERS
WITH PRESIDENT WILSON

Washington, D. c., March 3.-Sir
Lionel Garden, Great Britain's minis
ter to Mexico, will confer with Presi-
dent Wilson tonight at o'clock, ana
later will leave for New York to san
for England.
With Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the
British ambassador, Sir Lionel con
ferred briefly early today with Sec
rotary Bryan and arranged the hour CT
his meeting with the president. Sec
rotary Bryan will dine at the British
embassy this evening before Sir
Lionel leaves for New York.
The British minister declined 20
comment upon the Mexican situation,
Immediately after his brief confer
ence with the two British diplomats,
Secretary Bryan went to the cabinet
meeting with the latest Mexican dis
patches, where the killing of Bauch,
the American, the Benton case, and
the probably attitude of Great Britain
il the light of latest developments
were discussed. There was no out
ward indication of any change in the
situation as President Wilson out
lined it yesterday.
Developments today were largely
dependent upon receipt of word from
General Carranza, constitutionalist
chief as to whether he insisted upon
maintaining the attitude that the
United, States has no right to inquire
into the Benton execution.
President Wilson and his cabinet
in their meeting today, were con-
fronted with a new element of the
situation since they last met-the pc
sition taken by Carranza that all for
eign governments should address him
directly, instead of through the
United States.
Interest in the outcome of the
Benton incident is uppermost in di-
plomatic circles. Whether Great
Britain will insist upon reparation at
this time, or will prefer not to in
voIve the United States in complica-
tons with Carranza were points
upon which information were awaited.
The departure of George c. Ca
rothers, American consul agent from
Ell Paso for ogales, was taken to
mean that Carothers, who knows Car
rama personally, might further explain
the American viewpoint
1t is not quite certain whether any
note has been dispatched to Ameri-
can Consul Simpich, at Nogales, in
answer to the two communications
received from Carranza last Sunday,
CT whether the United, States is
awaiting the outcome of messages
sent to Carranza by his friends here,
who are familiar with the views Of
the Washington administration. These
friends have been expectant the last
"a hours, that they would learn Of a
change OF attitude by Carranza.
