PEACE IS NEAR IN GANNON DISPUTE 'Theie i.“ every indication that the fabled bird, the dove of peace, is’hov ering the warring camps of the park board and the adjutant general's* office, rumors of clashes to the contrary not withstanding. The adjutant general himself is au thoiity for the statement that the brief armistice, agreed upon in the debate over the Fort Walker cannon, is likely to develop into a permanent truce. He said today that he would go over Bark Director Carey's head and press the state's claim to the big guns before Mayor Winn. He thought that the mayor wou.d recognize the state's un disputed title and the cannon would be forthcoming. It is to be placed at the Hunter street entrance to the state capitol. Director' Carey, although admitting that negotiations were pending to set tle 'he row by arbitration, is letting none of the Grant park grass grow under his feet. He is said to be mo bilizing the par k department employees srmed with picks and shovels to give battle to the soldier boys if General Obear resorts to the militia. The adjutant general's idea is to mount the guns on the granite abut ments at the Hunter street entrance to the capitol exactly in the manner two such brass six-pounders are mounted on the steps of the assembly hall at the I'nlted States naval acad emj CLAY MONUMENT IN MARIETTA CITY PARK READY FOR UNVEILING MARIETTA GA., June 12.—The monument erected to the memory of the late Senator A.
