INNES GUARDED MESSAGES Marshall Nelms Announces Intentions of Re newing Search. His ATLANTA, July 29. Close on the discovery that the identity of "Mrs V. E. Innes," "Mrs. Hardmaft," and "Margaret Mims," is the same, it was learned to-day that from eight to ten telegrams that passed between Vic(o Innes and Elo se Nelms Dennis have been found. . From Western cities where Innes has been for several months at a time it was learned that Innes sent telegrams to Mrs. Dennis in Atlanta some time over his own name, but more often over an alias, and that the telegrams he received from Mrs. Dennis were sometimes signed by her name and some times by others. The copies of these telegrams are in the hands of the officials of the telegraph companies in At anta anlj Western cities, and will be turned over to the court so that copies may be made in the event that counsel so advises the companies. These, discoveries were closely fol lowed by the arrival in Atlanta of Mar shall Nelms, who had been in Washing ton to obtain Federal aid in the search of his nmissing sisters, Eloisc and Bea trice, and in learning exactly the re lations that existed between Innes and Eloise. The telegrams so far found show that Innes, in his correspondence with Eloise, used every precaution to to safeguard himself against untoward consequences in the future. Me evi dently cautioned her to do the same. Their real names seldom appear. Even the money that was sent In nes by Eloise, it was learned, was often sent to another name in Los Angeles, Carson City or Portland. One of his favorite aliases is said to have been Kavanaugh. Also he called himself "Your Uncle Bennett" and she signed herself "Your. Niece." Nothing of the contents of the telegrams could be learned from the Atlanta officials of the Western Union. They would go no further-than to admit the telegrams had been found and that hey would ijje given to the court for copying if counsel agreed Young Nelms was reticent concern ing his conferences with high Gov ernment authorities in Washington, i on his appeal for a Federal probe, and made denial of the report that an in vestigation has been started by Wash ington. .He expressed himself as dis appointed over the attitude of the Government. .: It ' is- known, however, that young Nelms is under a strict pledge of se crecy, and that the Government really has set in motion the machinery of its secret service at all points involved in the great mystery. . Nelms was met at the Terminal Station by his . mother, Mrs. J. W. Nelms, and after lunch, had a con ference with Attorney Reuben Arnold, laying before him. the results of his Washington trip. , -; In -addition to his plea for Federal aqtion.young Nelms, whiie in Wash ington, took steps to gain all possible information ' relative to ; Victor Innes' New -York career, believing these facts might possibly aid in the general in vestigation. - He told on his arrival here that he engaged private -' detectives', and that already they are at work on this phase of the mystery.. . -. !

In company with Dr. E. G Hargett, city veterinarian, Deputy Sheriff E. H. Bayhss yesterday went to the camp of the John L. Roper Lumber Company, near Vanceboro, where they found one horse affected with that deadly equine disease, the glanders. This animal was propmptly killed and four others were placed in quarrantine until an examina tion acn be mad to discover whether they are affected. The animal killed yesterday was the fifth which Dr. Hargett has humanely dispatched in that section during the pas1 week.. It was less than two weeks ago that the discovery was made that the disease was prevalent m that sec tio and during this time twenty-five or thirty horses which were exposed to the disease have been examined in an attempt to discover whether they had contracted it. B. B. Mowers veterinarian of experience and who is in the emplov of the State, spent sev eral clays here last week making an examination and assisting Dr. Hargett in his work. He returned home on Sundav but will probably return aan within a few davs and render further aid. According to statements made by Dr. Hargett there is grave danger of the disease spreading to other parts of the conntrv and entailing a loss of thousands of dollars and probably a loss of human life as the disease is communicable to humans as well as to horses. The value of the animals already killed will amount to more than a thous and dollars and there is every reason to believe that others must be put out of their miscrv before the campaign comes to a close. VISITS NEW BERN AFTER ABSENCE OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS B. S. Koonce Among Visitors Here Yesterday. WAS AGREEABLY SURPRISED Sky Scrapers, Car - Line, Paved Streets anJ Many other Improvements.. Twenty five years ago B. S. Koonce, who was at that time'residi ng at Rich- landsjones connny .- paid New Bern a visit. . At tha time Richlands was . nothing - more than a village while New Bern was already showing unmista kable signs of becoming the metropolis of this section. There were no paved streets, no car line, no sky scrapers and in fact none of the modern improvements which are now seen here, but never the less the place impressed Mr. Koonce and he went away carry ing a pleasant memory of his visit: During the intervening . years Mr. K oonce - left Richlands and ' moved to Chadbourn where he is now making his home. A few days ago' he decided to spend a few days at Morehead City and yesterday morning he arrived in the city enroute to that point Arriv ing here he was 'very much surprised. He had heard of New Bern's phenominal growth during the past few years ' but had no idea that Such rapid strides had been ' made. 1 He cjecided to spend, the day looking over, the place and this he did and in conversation with a re porter before leaving.: on. the afternoon train he 'stated iftat" judging front' the progress made in the' past few years, that this city bids fair to become one of the most talked about on the North Carolina coast in the course of a few more years. , ; ,v '' DISEAS DIVORCES ARE DOUBLING IN NEW YORK CITY THE TANGO CRAZE SAID TO BE THE REAL CAUSE. NEW YORK, July 29. New York has just been brought face to face with the fact that the number of divorces during the first six months of this year show an increase of fifty per cent over the corresponding period for last year. Indeed, the county clerk estimates that if the court business that went to the Bronx after January 1st had remained in New York county the number of di ivorce decrees recorded would have been doubled. As a result of these figures all sorts of investigations are being made in attempt to discover the cause. Many factors are cited as being to blame, but the one which faces the heaviest in dictment is undoubtedly the new dan ces, and particularly the tango. One of the most ingenious reasons advanced is that of too great poverty or too great wealth. As these have been existing causes for years it is difficult to under stand how they could have lately con tributed to the increase in the number of divorces. By suffragists it is argued that the man-made divorce laws are much too easy and that if women had the vote it might be more difficult to sever the marital ties. From theatten dants in the court where divorce trials are held, it was learned that if the wom en who sued for and obtained divorce, brunettes dominated, while the ma jority of women who sued their husbands were blonds. It is also, cslimatedthat the greater per cenlage of women de fendants especially in undefended cases are under 25 years of age, while the ma jority of men divorced by their wives ire between .55 and 45.

MEXICO CITY, July 29. The dele gates named by President Carbajal to confer with Carranza started for Sal tillo today but changed their plans at the last moment, going by way of Vera Cruz and Tampico instead of by rail via Gonzales Junction as they had an nounced at first. No details of the instructions of the delegates have been obtainable but the newspapers are adveated abroga tion of the constitution of 1857 under which Carranza purposes the estab lishment of an arbitarry government pending the institution of reforms and the holding of elections. i nis indicates tne existence ot a strong opposition to the present plan of the Constitutionalists. . v , .

' " ' ' MRS. VICTOR HALL NOW BEING TRIED Prosecution Claims That She Kill, ed Husband. ENTERS PLEA OF NOT GUILTY Intense Excitement Prevails In Little Town Of Louisa. LOUISA COURTHOUSE, VA.. July 29- In a court room packed to the doors, Mrs. Victor Hall, arraigned for the murder of her husband in his store at Green Springs Depot, on the morning of April 15th, yesterday enter ed a plea of "not guilty" and entered upon her fight for life. Mrs. Hall, dressed entirety in black. and accompainied by her two daugh ters, her father-in-law, Nicholas Hall. and her brother, Herbert Dowdy, ar rived at the court house half an hour before the time set for the opening of the trial. Until court convened she was clos et M with Attorney Lindsav Gordon. who will lead the fight in her behalf. A few moments after the court was opened. Mrs. Hall entered the room. The attorneys were already in their seats to begin the struggle. Prisoners Unasy. Mrs. Hall's face bore an unmistak able expression of uneasiness, but no fear. She very quietly and with con siderable dignity took her scat and waited for her arraignment. As many of (lie venire as the jury box would hold appeared ready when the judge rapped for order and di rected Clerk Porter to open court. Attorney Gordon asked permission to make a short statement regarding the settling of an estate in which he is interested. While his explanation was being made the crowd waited and stirred impatiently. "Is the Commonwealth ready in the case against Mrs. IlalLJ" the judge asked. "If your honor please, the Com monwealth is ready,' replied Com monwealth's Attorney Bibb. Mrs. Hall Is Arraigned. "Is the defense?" Judge Shackel ford asked. "It is replied Attorney Gordon. Continuing, Mr. Gordon said; "If Your Honor Please, we wish to enter a general demurrer to the indict ment". " The clerk will arraign the pris oner," the judge ordered. "Mrs. Hall, stand up," commanded Clerk Porter. Mrs. Hall arose and gazed coolly and steadily at the clerk while the indictment was read. Indeed , she seemed to be interested in its super fluous verbiage. "What say you," concluded the clerk. Are you guilty or not guilty?" "Not guilty," replied Mrs. Hall, in a low voice, but distinct in every part of the room. Believes Her Innocent. During the reading of the indict ment, Nicholas Hall, father of the murdered man, but one of the staunch est friends of the accused woman, leaned far forward to catch every word. His face bears the marks of deepest pain. He believes that Mrs. Hall, the accused is innocent of the terrible crime with which she stands charged, but in his heart there lurks the fear that the net which the commonwealth is weaving relentlessly around her may become too close, and that the mass of cir cumstantial evidence may crush her beneath its weight and make her ap pear guilty, whether she is or not. Mrs, Hall's two daughters were seated with Nicholas Hall. Neither seemed to realize the tragedy of the situation, but smiled and nodded to -acquaintances. , .They, . next to their,: mother, , were the cynosure- of .the gaze of most of the women in the courtroom.- ;"'; Prefers New Law.
