C.—Miss Kite Cleveland, 20.. and A. J. Carroll, <2, were found shot to death Ip a room nt the Carroll home at Dunean Mi! a village near here Tuesday morn* In*. The officials advanced th* theory that the woman, after being fatally wounded by Carroll during a quar- rel, wrested the pletol from hie hand and shot him to death. Former Senator Frank B. Kel logg of Minneftota, who ha* been selected and haa accepted the post of An^bansador to the Court of St. James, Kucceediug George Harvey, resigned. Socialists in the federal cabinet threatened to quit unless the apology was mode. The object of the Bavarian con centration is unknown. It may be connected with the persistent re port that Bavaria is planning to proclaim a new "federal govern ment” disavowing Berlin and tak ing over the leadership of the l reich. Bavaria's long and intentional delay in answering Berlin's de mands that "kidnaped” federal troops be restored and the recent declaration of Bavarian Dictator von Kahr that he will not deal with the present Berlin govern ment give support to the rumor. The mobilization on the Thurin- gian border is concentrated at Kronbsck, Coburg and Bamberg. Armaments of the troops include field guns and airplanes. It is understood that Captain Erhardt, famed in the Kapp putsch, i* one of the leaders of the force. He recently escaped from 9 federal prison. Government reinforcements from Pomerania are moving toward Saxony, which adjoins Thuringia. They were already en route when word of the new Bavarian men- wa* received, and the move ment is not connected with the 'entrations. GEORGIA AND TECH, WILL HARDLY (By Aaaoeiated Press.)
