JAPANESE W IL ARM
| : ALL TRADING VESSELS

Washington, January 2.-Japan,
through the Embassy here, notified
the State Department tonight of her
Intention to arm her merchant ships
4efensively, and requested informa-
fion as to whether any special rules
bad been made by this government
for passage of ships so armed
through the Hanama canal.
This was the first official informa-
tion that japan intended such action
and was Interpreted in some quarters
as indicative of fear of German sub
marine operations on wider scale.
While no submarines have appeared
jim the Pacific. SO far, British naval ex-
perts think It is quite possible that
they may operate there later.
There are no canal regulations i'm
posing special restrictions upon ves-
sells armed purely for defensive pur-
poses, as the United States holds that
such armament does not deprive a
ship of her caharacter as peaceful
merchantmah.

REPLY-ARREDONDO HAS VONE TO MEXICO
CITY-OFFICIAL COMMENTS BEING WITH
HELD. .-5:I

Washington, Jan. 2.-The sending
of Henry P. Fletcher to his post. at
Mexico City as American ambassa-
dor and the subsequent withdrawing
Of the American expedition are cx-
pected among the next developments
in the Mexican situation. Official
comment is being withheld at this
time.
The outcome is bound up with the
decision on General Carranza's latest
communication in regard to the pro
tocol which gives indication of being
of such nature as not to close the
negotiations. 1t is understood it will
not be affected by the absence of
General Carranza's ambassador, Mr..
Arredondo.
President Wilson has not decided
on his next step. 1t became known
on unquestionable authority today
that he has not given up hope that
beneficial results may come out of
the present negotiations.
Mr.. Arredondo said goodbye to
Secretary Lansing today and will de-
part tonight for Mexico City. Ramon
P. Dnigri, Carranza consul gneral at
San Francisco, will be in charge of
the embassy. The reason for Mr..
Arredondo's dparture has not been
made clear. He recently denied he
was being withdrawn.
When General Carranza sent his
recent appeal for notifications in the
protocol drawn by the American
Mexican commission, it was reported
that he would withdraw Mr.. Arredon-
do as mark of his displeasure,
pending final decision on the agree
ment by December 26. Mr.. Arredon-
do denied then that he was to be with
drawn, and declared that if he left
Washington it would be to confer
with his chief, as he did recently. In
formation about his departure was re-
fused today at the Mexican embassy

ATLANTA MAYOR is
RETIRED Three TINES
Unique Mayor of Atlanta Succeeded
$by Gambler, the Noted 81
is,% 81, Millionaire.

Atlanta, Jan. 2.-Atlanta yesterday
exchanged "Uncle jim" Woodward,
by far the most picturesque figure in
the history of municipal politics in
this city and one of the most unique
in the politics of the state, for Asa
G. Gambler, the famous multi-million-
aire and philanthropist, as head of
the city government.
Few men in politics in American
cities have had such stormy careers
as "Uncle Jim" Woodward, who has
been mayor of Atlanta three times,
covering total Of eight years. With
out exception he has antagonized
every city council with which he has
served, and attempts tv. impeach him
were SO numerous that they finally
ceased to attract attention. His es-
capades in years gone by brought
down upon him the most bitter con-
demnation, yet four years ago he
"came back" and won a stubbornly
contested fight for mayor with the
support of the very business men who
had led the movement to drive him
out of city politics a few years be-
fore. His vigorous personality has
made warm friends and bitrer ene-
mics, and he is still powerful factor
in Atlanta politics.
Of late, however, the old mans ami
,nosities and enmities have lost their
bitter edge perceptibly, and recently
he took occasion, at dinner at which
he and Mr.. Chandler were guests of
honor, to pledge Mr.. Chandler his
whole-hearted support, although in
politics the two have always been I'M
placable antagonists.
Mr.. Chandler goes into the mayors
office under probably the most favor
able auspices of any chief executive
in the city's history. He has the
united support Of every progressive
element in the community and will
be backed by the council in all his
undertakings.

licity campaign, in an effort to slim

it was announced by the secretary, to

During 1916 more than 100000 cases

of Montgomery, is president of the

pany, reports of which have been cur
rent sincs recent announcement that
j. p. Morgan q Co. had purchased the
English holdings in the Northeastern
was confirmed here late today in a
statement issued by President Fair
fax Harrison, of the Southern, and
made public by Vice President II. w.
Miller.
President Harrison's statement also
announced that in acquiring direct
ownership in the controlling stock OF
the New Orleans and Northeastern
the Southern has parted with all in
terest "direct or indirect" in the Ala
bama and Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Pacific Railway, in which the South
ern heretofore had hald minority of
stock.
When the announcement was made
several weeks ago that the Morgan
company had purchased the majority
holdings in the Northeastern from the
functions Company, .,n English in
vestment concern, it was understood
that the Morgan company was acting
for the Southern. The Morgan an
nouncement stated that the sale was
made by the English concern to as
sist the British Government in stabi-
lizing American exchange.
The New Orleans and Northeastern
operates from Meridian, Miss, to
New Orleans and is 202 miles in
length Its purchase will give the
Southern system entrance into New
Orleans over it's own lines as well as
direct connection with the extensive
terminals of the New Orleans Ter
minal Company, Of which the South
ern Is sole owner.
The purchase price was not men
toned in President Harrison's state

where it was said a statement would
be issued, later.
There Were various undercurrents
apparent in official circles today,
which gave color to reports that the
relations with Mexico were again be-
coming strained.
Henry p. Fletcher, recently con-
flrmed aS ambassador to Mexico, but
who never has gone to his post, had
an engagement to confer with Presi-
dent Wilson later in the day, and the
AmerictH, commissioners held long
session considering General Carran-
za's reply to their request for either
RATIFICATION or a repudiation of the
Atlantic City protocol
Mr. Al AErredondo is General Carran-
za's nephew, and has represented the
de factoI government here longer than
any of his predecessors.
Secretary Lansing said he did not
understand that Mr.. Arredondo was
leaving permanently, but that he has
been ca He'd to Mexico City on busi-
ness.

May Insist on Debate.
There were strdng intimations to-
night that the Republicans will insist
upon thorough debate if Senator
Hitchcock persists tomorrow in his
demand for vote without reference
to committee. Such discussion, it
was pointed out, might lead to an
other general deb4te on the European
war situation such as characterized
the controversy over the right of
American citizens to travel on armed
ships.
Senator Stone declared that the
issue was whether the Senate should
endorse movement calculated to
open the way for bringing about
peace in Eur ope. For the Senate to
hesitate would destroy the moral eff
feet of the prop osed endorsement.
Views of man y Republican Sena-
tors were epito,nized hy Senator

Mckellar, of Tennessee, and referred
to the foreign affairs committee.

Brunson, Dec. 29.-H. A. Preacher
and Keb Netles were killed by P. w.

sey plantation with view of moving
Nettles, who was tenant on Light
sey's place. Nettles, it is said, was
indebted to Lightsey to the extent of
several hundred dollars and for this
reason Llghtsey objected when Net
ties started to move. Early this
morning Lightsey telephoned Sheriff
j. Herman Lightsey at Brunson and
said that he felt his wife was in dan
ger and. asked the sheriff to come
to his protection Sheriff Lightsey
and deputy, Eric Harrison, both of
whom were present when the shoot
ing occurred, went to the Lightsey
farm, and tried to dissuade Preacher
and Nettles from entering Lightseys
premises, but could do nothing with
| them.
Witnesses say that about IL o'clock
Preacher and Nettles, each with q
revolver in hand, entered Lightsey's
yard, Preacher in front of Nettles
Lightsey was in his house and when
Preacher walked upon the porch
Lightsey shot him twice through q
window. Lightsey then came out on
the porch and it is said that Nettles

shot Nettles twice. Lightsey then sur
rendered to the sheriff and was taken
