BERLIN DOES NOT
EXPECT UNCLE SAM
TO STOP THE
EXPORT OF ARMS
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 5-Chair-
man Flood of the house foreign affairs
committee, today told advocates of
legislation prohibiting the expectation
of war materials, that Germany,
through the Berlin foreign office, has
made it plain that country does not
expect the United States to stop such
exports.
The movement to prohibit exports Of
war munitions to beIligerent powers
was first launched in the house sew
eral days ago by Representative Vol
mer, of Illinois, who advocated such
action as a means of preventing a
of the European war.
The proposition found many support
ers among members of that body, but
today's disclosure by Chairman Flood
probably means there will be no ac-
lion along the lines proposed.

GENERAL
GUEST At PEACE
PARTY
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 5.-Ad-
ministration officials here are much
interested in the outcome of a confer
ence between General Scott, chief of
staff of the United States army, and
General Francisco Villa, commanding
the military forces of the Gutierrez
government in Mexico, which is sched-
uled to occur tomorrow at a point
on the international border. The con-
ference probably will be held on the
bridge over the Rio Grande at Ell Paso,
and both generals are now on their
way to the Texas city.
General Scott has been at Naco,
Ariz., and other points along the bor-
der during the past two weeks, investi-
eating conditions there, and endeav-
oring to reach an amicable agreement
with rival Mexican factions which
would prevent further firing across
the line, and his talk Villa tomorrow
will be in furtherence of this policy.
It is proposed by the American ad-
ministration that all factions in Mexico
agree to recognize a neutral zone Of
nominal width along the entire north
ern border, thus preventing injury of
citizens of this country, and Villa, it
is said, is willing to cooperate with
American authorities in establishing
such zone. Leaders of others fac
tions in Mexico, especially the Car
rama commander opposite Naco, have
repeatedly refused to suspend military
operations pending an amicable set
tlement of the entire controversy and
tomorrow's conference may culminate
in an Independent agreement between
Gen. Villa and the American military
authorities.
"Watchful waiting" has already cost
the lives of a score or more citizens
of Texas border towns, and unless the
rival factions can be persuaded to de,
sist peacefully, the military authori.
ties may take energetic action to force
all factions to withdraw several miles
south of the international boundary.

DARkTOWN DUDES.

Especial to Times-Recorder)

ATLANTA. Ga, Jan. 5.-Two real
fashion-plate negroes, with clothes
which would make a Peachtree swell
envious, are now in adjoining cells in
jail, awaiting trial for impersonating
officers and "mopping" up among ig-
norant negroes.
Harry Witherspoon and Frank John
son, the two Darktown dudes, stood up
in all their glory before Judge John
son and heard their victims tell of
their woes. The two had made prac-
tice of strolling into negro house,
wearing tin badges and toting big
guns and pretending to be private de-
tectives on a search for stolen goods.
One would twirl his gun nonchalantly
while the other looked arc ind, pick

it away. They varied this by several
street hold-ups, taking watches and
razors and other articles of jewelry
off their colored friends.
They met their fate when they tried
to hold up a hard-working negro on
his way home with a bag full of gro
ceries. Their intended victim got
mad, took the gun away from Wither-
spoon and chased both of the bad
sports down Decatur street until de-
tective corraled the whole trio.

BROKEN NECK VICTIM
DIES AFTER 7 YEARS
TRAVELLED HERE AND ABROAD
AND FINALLY SUCCUMBED TO
ACUTE GASTRITIS

MONETT, Mo-, Jan. 5.-Teddy Peters
for seven years claimed to be the only
living man with broken knock, who
died here a day or two ago, was a
great curiosity, and thousands who
had examined him marveled at his
condition. He was so years old and
his neck was broken seven years ago
when a bridge collapsed at Quebec,
Canada. He was a structural iron
worker and is said to have fallen 216
feet.
For months after the accident he lay
in hospital at the point of death, and
when he began to recover, a harness
was made to support his head and
leather straps practically covered his
body from the waist up.
He recently returned from Europe,
having been travelling with show in
Germany when the war broke out. He
had been quoted as saying that if the
harness were taken from his neck for
five minutes, it would cause his death.
His death, however, was caused by
acute gastritis.

General Manager C. S. Lake of the
Seaboard railway, with Division SUI
perintendent Oscar R. league, were
in conference here last night with a
committee of Americus business men
regarding the general situation, local
ly, brought about, largely, by the re-
moval of freight terminals from this
city recently, and the 'rumored further
dismantling of the company's shops
here. These, together with other inn
portant matters of mutual interest,
were discussed at considerable length.
Messrs. L. G. Council, Frank La
nier, c. s. Glover, Thos. Harold, John
Sheffield, p E. Mathis, G. r. Ellis, c.
j. White, Crawford Wheatley, ]. A.
Hixon, G. W. Riley and R. L. McMath
composed the committee of twelve rem
IeSeHtlng AlnerlcuS.
The meeting was characterized with
utmost harmony and good feeling, and
1t is believed that the result will be
mutually beneficial alike to Americus
and the Seaboard.
Manager Lake discIaims any inten-
tion upon part of the company to make
permanent the change of freight ter
minals, and which to a great extent.
have already been restored. He stated
emphatically, in reply to the query of
Mayor L. G. Council, that Americus
was now, and should remain, the per-
manent terminal of all through fast
freight trains of this division. The
recent change, Mr.. Lake stated, was a
temporary move only, and had been
rescinded.
The two trains now operating out
of Cordele, he stated, was for the ex-
peditious handling of citrus fruits and
these trains would be brought back
when such shipments ceased.
Regarding the shops situation, Mr..
Lake declared positively that the rail-
way company entertained no thought
of removal to any other point. When
asked the direct question regarding the
probable increase in operating forces
at the Americus shops, he stated to
Mayor Council directly that this would
be done as traffic justified. Just now,
he said, expenditures were being held
down as much as possible.
Manager Lake declared that he was
exceedingly anxious to carry back to
President Harahan at Portsmouth ex-
pressions of good will and the prom
Use of cooperation upon the part of
Americus merchants and business men
generally. He was given such assur-
ance, and Americas will stand by the
agreement to accord to the Seaboard a
more liberal patronage, thus aiding
the city and, directly, the large num-
Der of employees of the company here.
This was the most that the Seaboard
asks and a liberal patronage will be
given the company by Americus busi-
ness interests generally.
