world ANA
Whereas, it is further stated that
amid laughter, Mr.. Page declared that

With William J. Burns ex-
pected either late Thursday or
sometime Friday to open his
probe Of the Mary Phagan muir
der and the -Nartling develop
ments that followed, interest in
the Frank case eenters now
about the great detective.
Burns is known to be keeping his
own counsel about the investigation
he already has made, and has re-
fused to discuss valuable clews ha is
said to have picked up in New York.
There was all sorts of speculation
about the attitude he would assume
toward Jim Conley, and the negro is
said to have declared that he was
willing to face the detective if some
unbiased" white man were-present
The negro, ohwever. is being guided
entirely by his lawyer, w NJ. smith.

Messages which have been received
in Atlanta Indicate that Burns arriv-

Much Of Mr.. Burns time in the
East has been taken up with a study
of the testimony given at the trial,
and clews suggested to him by dis
crepancies in the stories Of some Of
the witnesses have been the subjects
Of exhaustive investigation.
Whether Burns work will be ham
pered by the refusal of Attorney Bill
Smith to permit the detectiye to
question Jim Conley is problematica.
Men who are familiar with the meth
DDS employed by the detective de-
clare that the attitude OF the lawyer
will not worry him and that he has
overcome much bigger obstacles than
a lawyers objections. The talk that
one of the detectives first steps viii
be TO grill Conley and hear the ne
gro's story from his own lips is mere
speculation.
Smith Threatens to Bar Burns.
Smith says that he will not permit
Burns to use anything that has the
appearance Of tho third degree" on
the negro. He declared that he has
not vet decided whether Burns will
be permitted to see Conley at all, and
that II he talks TO the negro it
will have to be in the presence Of

j. s. MASSES
$4,000 MEN
On BORDER
Seventeenth Regiment Is Ordered
From Atlanta To Be Ready
to Strike.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Oflcial
reports to the War Department to-
day showed that the orders to rush
two more regiments of American
troops 10 the Mexican border are be-
ing rapidly complied with. With the
arrival of the Ninth Regiment from
Fort Thomas, KY, and Fort Logan II.
Roots, Ark, and the Seventeenth
Regiment from Atlanta in Texas, the
United States will have nearly $4,000
troops within striking distance of
Mexico. This is 5000 more than GEN
eral Shafter had in his Santiago
campaign in Cuba
The administrations explanation
that these additional troops are be-
/ ing sent to the Mexican border be-
cause of requests made by members
of the Texas Congressional delegation
that the international line be more
efficiently patrolled was regarded to-
day as a correct statement of fact.
but the belief current here for several
days that the Mexican situation was
approaching crisis was also
strengthened by the orders for the
movement Of troops.
Machine Guns for Embassy.
Recent dispatches of a confidential
nature have stated that machine guns
are being sent to Mexico City for the
protection of the American legation
there and the orders TO add to the
military forces on the border, there
fore, caused no surprise.
Democratic members of Congress
made no secret to-day Of their belief
that the dispatch of more troops to
the border indicates that the Govern
ment is preparing for an emergency.
Hopes that General Carranza and the
Constitutonalist forces could restore
peace in Mexico have been gradually
fading for a month.
Even the news that General Villa
had actually begun his long promised
campaign against Torreon failed to
restore confidence in the Constitu-
tionalist army, and Carranza's atti-
tude IN the Benton case has destroyed
in great measure faith that this Gov
eminent has had hitherto
Colquitt Causes Anxiety.
There is no doubt that there has
been anxiety at the White House and
State Department over the utterances
of Governor Colquitt OF Texas. and
his blunt assertions that his State
would protect her citizens. but this
anxiety has not caused the belief at
any time that the Governor of the
Lone Star State would take any ac-
ton that would plunge the United
States into war with her southern
neighbor.

will be assigned to patrol the border
