Zapata Threatens to Attack the
Mexican Capital—General Vel
asco Is Said to Be Mutinous.
General Carranza Has Been
Eliminated Prom the Media
tion Program.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, D. t\. May L—
The South American mediators
today planned an adjustment of
the differences between the Unit-
en States and Huerta, eliminating
the constitutionalists from the
proceedings.
General Carranza’s refusal to de
clare a truce with Huertn caused his
elimination. The envoys are willing
to receive his representatives when
he is ready for an armistice. This
eliminating caused many to believe
'he chances for general mediation
(tone. Others think General Carran
za will change his mind after taking
Salillo. The envoys are proceeding
vith their original program.
Huerta has named his three repre
sentatives and those of the United
tgaie- will be chosen soon. The de
liberations will probably be at soma
New Kngland resort.
Huerta's position in Mexico is re
ported precarious. The.rebel Zapata
threatened to attack the capital to
day. The federal general Velasco is
reported mutinous. Americana at

HALF-HOLIDAY FRIDAY
FOR TECH BALL CAME
The larger part of all local interest now centers
around the Georgia-Tech series to be played here on Fri
day and Saturday of this week, with everyone seemingly
bent on getting out the biggest crowds ever seen in the
city. Mayor Dorsey has declared a half holiday in ail of
the city offices for Friday and ail the merchants in the
city are to be requested to do the same. The stores and
other business houses will be asked to close at 2 p. m. and
not open again until Saturday morning.
The chamber of commerce and many of the leading business
men of the city are back of this movement to give the clerks a
chance to be on hand for one of the biggest ball games of the
season. On the streets everyone is talking the idea and speculat
ing as to how large a crowd will be present at the game. It is
urged that there are just two big reasons why the half holiday
should be made general throughout Athens. In the first place
the clerks and other employes of the local stores, mills and
other business houses, deserve and need the recreation which will
be obtained by attending the opening game of the championship
series. The other reason is that Athens is trying to make a
record in the matter of a big-attendance at a local game. Nothing

Georgia Spirit
Much in Evidence.
The spirit of the games is in the
air. Already the “Georgia Wrecked
Tech” buttons are conspicuous on the
streets and campus. Already that
vague and exhilarating sensation of
Something Is Going to Happen" is
pervading the lower strains and per
meating the ether.
*Tis always useless to try and dope
out the result of a Georgia-Tech
game. Georgia ia strong and Tech ia
strong. A slight break in the so-called
baseball luck might give the aeries
to either. It will be a battle between
the roaches. Heisman has turned the
trick before and the question is. Can
he do ft to Joe Bean? Both art pre
pared for the fight. Heisman is here
in Athens getting data from the Ala
bama games, and it is a good safe
bet that hr will knew every weakness
