took place when Tillman's three brothers and two sisters, four of whom are under 19 years of age, called at the jail at an early hour to say farewell to the condemned youth. The girls, aged 10 and IA, were first led into the death chamber, and they almost collapsed The cries of these children could be heard for quite a distance.
 Up until the hour of his execution lTillman held out hopes that d stay of execution would be granted him. | About midnight last night the con demned man expressed a desire for watermelon, which was secured for him.

 Preacher Accuses Him
 I2ev. Ray held four religious ser vices with Tillman from yesterday afternoon until morning. The minis ter urged Tillman to confess and ac- cused him of being guilty of the crime. The boy stoutly maintained he was innocent and gave the name of another man who he said killed the Stephens girl This man proved an alibi at Tilman's second trial when his name was brought into the case Tillman refused to explain why he accused him of the deed.
 Tillman expressed willingness to address the immense crowd outside the saffold enclosure, but owing to his weakened condition this was not permitted. He then said he would make no formal statement in his prayer on the gallows He said he hoped the bloodthirsty people of his community would choot him to death while he prayed.

That Mysterious Typewriter.


 Portland, Ore, July 15.-Victor E. lnnes was not to be seen here today. His lawyer said Innes had told him nothing about having ordered a type writer with Hindo characters sent from San Antonio to San Francisco. A member of the Inaes househod q. however, said the news reports of the typewriter had been mentioned to h. nes and that he had dismissed the subject by saying they are trying to lug in things extraneous to the disap- pearance of Mrs. Dennis and Miss Nelms."
 As lnIes was located in Manila for several years, it was said he prob ably had ordered the typewriter for some business firm in the Orient or had planned to return there himself lnnes, according to members of his family, never has had the slightest interest in the study of the occult.

TWO MISSING WOMEN BELIEVED
 GULF OF MEXICO.
TRACE THEIR WANDERINGS
From Their Departure at Atlanta on to San Antonio and San Francisco, Is the Plan Now Outlined by De tectives in Charge of Case.

Atlanta, Ga, July 15.-Interest in the search for Mrs Eloise Nelms Dennis and Miss Beatrice Nelms, missing daughters of Mrs. John w. NeIms of this city, today ce1tered in reports that two persons answering their description were on Petit Bos Island in the Gulf of Mexico. Efforts to locate and identify the women, however, thus far have failed.
 Sergeant A. M Buck of the loca. police department left here late today for New Orleans to aid in the investi- gation to determine the truth or falsity of the letter received by the mother on July s frem San Francisco which was signed with Mrs. Dennis name and which indicated that she had killed her sister was preparing to kill her brother and would then kill herself.
 The police department reports that Zuck expects to fo low the trail ot the missing women from New Or leans, where they first went when they left here early in June on a com bined business and pleasure trip to Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, Texas, and possibly to San Francisco. Investigation today showed that Mrs. Dennis was desirous of selling her real estate holdings here before she left, and that she consulted ana wrote real estate firms on the matter with the result that she disposed of one piece of property. One of her letters to a local firm said.
 q am going to leave Atlanta in a few weeks-going to India to live, so am very anxious to sell all my holdings before doing so.'
 Connected with this development was the report from San Antonio to- day that on June 25 man giving his name as W. Sims sent by express , from there to San Francisco type writer with Hindu key characters. It | was addressed to Victor Innes, San Francisco. Dispatches from San | Francisco said that the typewriter | had been bought by victor lnles in 1913 and was returned recently to San Antonio to the firm that had solid | it on the installment plan.
 Victor lnnes. former assistant United States district attorney in Nevada, was Mrs. Delnis' attorney in Reno, New, about a year and a half ago when she obtained a divorce there. He recently denied Mrs Nelms' assertions that Mrs. Dennis had recently sent him about $1000( to be invested in Mexico.
 Believing that Mrs. Dennis nigh
 be carrying out her expressed ilten ton to go to India, San Francisco aH thorities today were asked to investi lgate the lists of passengers sailing
 from there for the Orient since Jul, I3, the date on which the myster!
 letter was mailed in the San Fran
 cisco postoffice.

DMlNISTRATiON THINKS SOLU. TON OF MEXICAN PROBLEM
 IS NEAR AT HAND.
HUERTA OFFERS A S0LUTIUN
When He Resigns the Presidency and
 Leaves the Way open For Peace. ful Occupation of the Capital by the
 Constitutionalists. .-.-.,s.

Washington, D C., July 15-News of General Huerta's resignation as president of Mexico was heralded by official Washington tonight as the first Ipractical step toward a quick solu- ton of the Mexican prob em. Consti- tutionalists, diplomats and officials O.. the United States were elated over General Huerta's voluntary with drawal and predicted an era of peace in the country.
 Although the coastitutionalists de. clared they would not recognize Francisco Carbajal as provisiona president and the United States gov. ernment likewise will refuse to recog- nize him, the understanding here is the new executive will hold office only until arrangements can be made for the entry of General Carranza, the constitutionalist chief.
 Diplomats in close touch with the situation declare Carbajal and those who are associated with him in an effort to restore peace, desire only a general amnesty, conserving the lives and property of Huerta's supporters With this obtained the peaceful entry into the Mexican capital of constitu- tionalist troops will be negotiated.
 General Huerta's retirement came just as the constitutiolalists were preparing their formal note declining i s,a ri fcti notion in inforunal nnpfaropooe ] with Huerta representatives to dis cuss internal Mexican complications Hopes were raised today that now negotiations might be begun between representatives of Carranza and Car bajal for the speedy transfer oi power to the constitutionalists. It is virtually certain that the Huerta representatives at Niagara Falls will be designated by Carbaiai to look after his interests in this country That the A. B. c. media tors will make another effort to bring the factions into conference is con. sidered likely
 | General Carranza, the mediators believe, would profit greatly by enter | ing into such conferences. He thus might guarantee himself immediate recognition by the United States and Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Under terms of the protocols signed al
 Niagara Falls, the United States promised to recognize any govern ment set by agreement between the Mexican factions without waiting foi an election.
 Should Carranza refuse to barley
 with the Carbajal government and in
 sist on taking Mexico City by force
 setting up a military government
 recognition in all likelihood would b,
 deferred until after an election.
 Constitutionalists here are renew
 ing their efforts to persuade Carranzi
 to hold conferences with Carbajal

Paris, July 15.-Maintaining his in locence unt4 the last. Arthur Till man, 22 years old, the last person to be legally executed on a gallows in Arkansas. was hanged in the jail yard here this morning for the mur- der in March, 1913, of Amanda Ste phens, t9 years old, whose body was found in an abandoned we'll near Delaware
 The trap was sprung at 7.03 o'clock and Tillman was pronounced dead 12 minutes later.
 The seven and a half foot plunge did not break his neck.
 Tillman was so weak that he had to be carried from his cell by two deputy sheriffs.
 For fear that he would make an attempt to kill himself Tillman was refused shave. He was dressed in a white duck suit and wore white shoes, and throughout the ordeal o1 the scaffo'd he appeared possessed of his full mental faculties
 As Tillman reached the gallows he knelt on the trap door and for l5 minutes dwelt in audible prayer. In his prayer he only referred twice to the crime, once when he declared the trial judge would be responsible for the death Of an innocent boy and again when he asked forgiveness for the sheriff who was to spring the trap.
 A dramatic incident took place when .T'illman asserted in his prayer that the trial judge would be respon sfble for his death. Rev. J. l.. Ray his spiritual adviser, interrupted an6 asked Tillman to pray for the for giveness" of the judge. Tillmal ther did so.
 Fears that friends or members o Tillman's family would attempt to in terfere with the execution wer, groundless, and there was no extra ordinary incident in connection witl the hanging. Thirty-five militiamei and officers formed a three-b ocl circle about the jail all night.
 The only relative of Tillman at tn execution was his uncle. lame Brock, an attorney of Clarksville. A Tillman stepped upon the scaffoI Brock urged him to be brave.
 Goodbye People, As the straps were being adjusted Tilman clung to the hangman's rop' While the black cap was being place over his head he said Wait a mil ute" The sheriff removed the oal | Goodbye people" said the yout, with a nod of his head.
