WASHINGTON, March 12.—Official information has been received from the War Department that the orders to rush regiments of American troops to the Mexican border are rapidly complied with, with the arrival of the Ninth Regiment from Fort Thomas, Ky., and Fort Logan, Ark., and the Seventeenth Regiment from Atlanta in Texas, the United States will have nearly 15,000 troops within striking distance of the border. This is 3,000 more than General Shafter had in his Southern administration's explanation of these additional troops are being sent to the Mexican border because of requests made by members of the Texas Congressional delegation to the international line by more than a hundred. The statement of fact, however, was regarded as a correct statement of fact, as the current news here for several days indicates that the Mexican situation was approaching a crisis was also regarded as a critical one by the members of Congress. The dispatches of a confidential nature have stated that machine guns sent to Mexico City for the purpose of the Americanization and the orders to add to the forces on the border, there is no surprise. The American members of Congress have secret today of their belief that the dispatch of more troops to the border indicates that the Government is preparing for an emergency. The dispatch indicates that General Carranza and the Constitutional forces could be prepared. Mexico have been prosperous for a month, the news that General Villa has finally begun his long promised campaign against Torreon failed to satisfy the confidence in the Constitutional army, and Carranza's attitude in the Benton case has destroyed the confidence in the Constitutional army. Forecast for Atlanta and Georgia—Rain and colder Thursday; cloudy Friday. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN VOL. XII. NO. 191. RACING RESULTS AT CHARLESTON.

The lobbies of all hotels are so crowded that it was difficult to move around, and at the headquarters of the two boys it was impossible to get inside. Everywhere Ritchie is the favorite in the betting, the odds being 100 to 60. Just after the afternoon train from Chicago arrived, the betting began in earnest. A big bunch of the betting men from Chicago came up with Ritchie on this train and the fact that Ritchie slept soundly for a full hour of the journey made most of them certain that he would win. Both men are in prime condition. Not a seat is to be had. Tom Jones, who had entire charge of the Chicago Philadelphian, died at Saranac Lake, N.Y. Funeral to Be Here News of the death of Sidney H.

Chicago sale, said that in all he had gathered in close to $13,000 from the fans there alone. In addition to This, there were a number of tickets scattered about in different parts of the city and all of these were gone early, so that it is probable that between $16,000 and $18,000 of the enormous house tonight was laid down in the Windy City. There was considerable complaint about the prices. People have been educated to seeing specially good battles for $2 in this vicinity and when the sale was tilted up to $5,750 and $8,810 there was considerable kicking. But the tickets went just the same, and this afternoon the cholera reservations that were in the hands of the scalpers were bringing a nice premium. In one case a pair of seats, 213,532 rows from the ringside, went for. Sent to Chaingang. For Falsely Using Rail Union's Name The impropriety of using the name of a great brotherhood to help in getting advertising for a privately promoted publication was illustrated Thursday when Judge Calhoun, in the City Court, sentenced B. D. Russell to pay a fine of $250 or spend a year in the chain gang. Russell was convicted of passing himself off as the official representative of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen. He was in the habit of stating that he and his associate, C. F. McCorthy, were getting up advertising to be printed in a book of instructions published by the brotherhood, and sold for its benefit. It was proved that, while the pamphlet actually was published, the brotherhood had no connection with the enterprise, and it also was shown that the brotherhood never solicits or accepts any financial aid of that kind, being a wealthy and independent order. Women Voters Err Less Often Than Men CHAMPAIGN, ILL., March 12.— Less women than men marked their ballots wrong in the Champaign primaries, according to the canvassing board's report today. ATLANTA GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1814, Dr. Ridley Disapproves of Attempt by Any Congregation to Regulate by a Hard and Fast Rule the Private Conduct of its Members. Dr. Caleb A. Ridley, of the Central Baptist Church, Thursday expressed his severe disapproval of the attempt on the part of any church to regulate by a hard and fast rule the private conduct of its members. His comment was aroused by the Proposed action of the First Baptist Church, which is considering drastic action on the locker club question as it affects the church membership. Resolutions submitted to the church conference by the pastor, the Rev. C. W. Daniel, provides that the members shall use every effort to make the social club to which they may belong conform strictly to the law, and that, in the event of failure, they withdraw from the clubs. Dr. Ridley's Views. Dr. Ridley said: "The First Baptist Church has a right to do as it pleases, and I have no word to say regarding its resolutions. A Baptist Church is a democracy and the majority rules. It is also a sovereign and no other congregation has any right to interfere with the transaction of its business. I have no desire to express myself regarding its action in passing the resolutions you refer to. "Now, as to my own personal attitude, and also that of my church, I think I am free to speak. Personally, I do not believe that resolutions, however good or important, will rightly regulate moral conduct. The conduct of Christian men and women should be an outflow rather than a mechanical move under pressure. Christ's appeal was always to the man within us. If the Gospel will not regulate the conduct of men without thumb screws, then the conduct when regulated is anything but Christian. My candid conviction is that the kingdom interests are not so well served by penalizing as by preaching. I shall more fully express myself on the subject next Sunday night in my own pulpit." Dr. Daniel Protests Delay. The resolutions presented at the First Baptist Church are yet to be acted upon. The meeting of the conference Wednesday night was so poorly attended because of the bad weather that it was decided to postpone the matter until next Wednesday night. An effort was made to have the resolutions referred to the regular conference of the church in April, but Dr. Daniel protested against this delay. "I don't believe the question is not that requires that length of time for deliberation," he said. "Delay will be disastrous. However, I don't promise to dictate to the church or to attempt to run the affairs of the church." 27,000-Ton Warship Texas in Commission NORFOLK, VA, March 12.—The battleship Texas, one of the latest additions to the navy, today was put in commission at the Newport News navy yard and soon will proceed to the Brooklyn navy yard.

Resolutions Call for Inquiry on Alleged Slurs and Quick Declaration of Policy. WASHINGTON, March 12.—Following similar action in the Senate earlier in the day, Representative Murray, of Oklahoma, this afternoon introduced in the House a resolution calling upon Secretary Bryan to furnish immediately to the House information as to whether Ambassador Page made statements concerning the Monroe Doctrine in a speech in London last night, which in effect declared “that the Monroe Doctrine is not an American policy, but merely an American desire to be expressed to European monarchies, but not to be enforced.” The resolution also inquired whether Ambassador Page's statement, if made, had the sanction of the State Department and whether it is and will be the policy of the State Department to abandon the Monroe Doctrine. Of the Ambassador’s reported statement that it gave the United States great pleasure in building the canal to know that British vessels would profit most by its use, Murray asks whether this was the real reason for the Administration's seeking to repeal the canal tolls exemption clause. Resolution Is Passed. The Senate had passed a resolution introduced by Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, which read: “Whereas there was published in the morning papers what purported to be a London cable to The New York American, giving an account of the annual dinner of the Associated Chambers of Commerce in London, in which Hon. Walter Hines Page, the American Ambassador to Great Britain, is reported to have said, ‘The Monroe Doctrine simply meant this: That the United States would prefer that no European Governments would gain more land in the new world; and “Whereas it is further stated that, amid laughter, Mr. Page declared that he would not say that the United States had constructed the Panama Canal for Great Britain, but that it had added greatly to the pleasure of building that great work to know that the British people would profit most by its use; therefore, be it Calls for His Speech. “Resolved, That the Secretary of State be requested to furnish to the Senate without delay a copy of the speech made by the American Ambassador and particularly that part thereof giving his definition of the Monroe Doctrine and those portions thereof in which he is alleged to have stated that the British would profit most by the use of the Panama Canal, and that he call upon the American Ambassador to furnish forthwith for the use of the Senate the evidence upon which that portion of his speech was based, wherein he is alleged to have said that it added greatly to the pleasure of the people of the United States in the building of the Panama Canal to know that the British would profit most by its use.” MERCHANT FOUND DEAD.

Baker Who Got $5 Bill From Blease Is Held for Vagrancy L. W. Berkstein, whose proud boast it is that he "nicked Governor Cole Blease for a five-case note" by a sympathy dodge, Thursday afternoon was held for trial in bond of $500 by Recorder Broyles on a charge of vagrancy and on a charge of being a common cheat and swindler. Playing the part of a deaf and dumb peddler of chewing gum, Berkstein never uttered an audible word from the time he left Atlanta two months ago until the time of his arrest Wednesday night by Policeman Harper, according to the remarkable story he told in court.

FINALY W. S. Jenkins, a bricklayer, living on West Fourteenth street, and his wife, with their daughter, Mrs. Lula Belle Brown, probably will be important witnesses for Leo Frank in his motion for a new trial. Their testimony, it was discovered Thursday, will be in the effort to show attempts at a “frame-up” by Detective John Black. Mrs. Brown has been married since the Frank trial, and is now in a reformatory at Milledgeville. Last spring she was 16 years old, unmarried and living with her parents. Jenkins and his wife told the following story freely, and assert they will make affidavit to it, and testify in court, if called. Tell of Visit From Black. About one month after Frank was arrested, the Jenkinses state, John Black came to their home and asked to see Lula Belle. “You are the girl who went with Mary Phagan to the factory the day she was killed, aren’t you?” the detective is said to have asked. When the girl told him no, he pressed the assertion, and added: “You went there with Mary Phagan, and Frank sent you away, and kept Mary Phagan there, saying she had some work to do.” The girl denied this assertion also, and after some more questions by the detective he went away. Used Threats, Says Mother. “The following Monday he came back again,” said Mrs. Jenkins, “He asked to see Lula Belle, and put the same questions to her. She denied knowing anything about the case, and the detective became threatening. There was another detective with him and they both talked that way—said they ‘had something on’ the girl and could have her locked up if they wanted to.” The detectives went away, Mrs. Jenkins said, only to return that night; at least Black came back, and the same detectives, or maybe another, was with him. This time the detectives were open in their threats to lock the girl up if she did not admit her knowledge, Mrs. Jenkins said. Heard Talk of Money. “And I heard Black tell Lula Belle that if she would admit what he had said, she could ‘have part of his salary.” They were promising her money as well as threatening her, it seemed.” In the course of the conversation, Black is quoted as stating that a Mrs. Moody, who lived nearby, had told the Police that Lula Belle had told her she went to the factory with Mary Phagan. “I wanted to see the matter to the bottom,” said Jenkins, “so we all went around to Mrs. Moody's. She said plainly that Lula Belle never had told her anything like that. On the way home, one of the detectives talked in an undertone to Lula Belle, and after they had gone away, she told me that Black had offered her $10 to tell what he had said about going to the factory with Mary Phagan. But she did not work at the factory, and she did not know Mary Phagan.” New and Vital Clews. With William J. Burns expected either late Thursday or sometime Friday to open his probe of the Mary Phagan murder and the startling developments that followed, interest in the Frank case centers now about the great detective. Burns is known to be keeping his own counsel about the investigation.
